Apartment for Parents, Where We Spotted 6 Great Ideas

This bright and cozy apartment captivates at first glance. It was designed by graphic designer Tatiana Kharina for her parents. We've collected some interesting solutions from the project that are worth noting.

Overview of this apartment (32 minutes)

Beautiful color palette

The apartment is located in a four-story brick house in the center of one of Russia's oldest cities — Sergiev Posad. Tatiana wanted the beautiful view outside the window to 'dialogue' with the interior of the entire apartment and harmoniously complement it. Therefore, the color palette of the kitchen-living room echoes the tones of the exterior — ochre, cold gray and golden hues, the color of faded green leaves, and soft terracotta.

Decorative window in the hallway

A decorative window was made in the hallway. Thanks to it, a stunning view of the Trinity Sergius Lavra opens up from the threshold, and sunlight penetrates into the entrance area.

Kitchen niche

The column with built-in appliances and part of the kitchen cabinet were placed in a niche (the ventilation was also hidden there). The niche was created on purpose — such placement makes this part of the room less noticeable and allows creating an aesthetically pleasing and stylish design.

Stylish symmetry

The wall above the console in the living room was decorated with decorative moldings and a picture was placed in this frame. The same approach was used to decorate the television on the opposite wall. Symmetrical balance creates a calm atmosphere and organizes the space.

Accent wallpaper in the bedroom

The wall behind the headboard was decorated with accent wallpaper — its color palette harmonizes with the tones in the room. The wallpaper emphasizes the classic style of the interior and looks very beautiful and expensive.

Thoughtful storage in the bathroom

Next to the installation in the niche, a cabinet was designed. The water heater was hidden in the upper part of it, and additional storage was organized in the lower section. The same solution was applied in the second bathroom as well.
