In the Designer's Home: 10 Favorite Interior Items of Ekaterina Kotalyevskaya

When it comes to creating comfort and warmth in our homes, every detail is important. Designer Ekaterina Kotalyevskaya shared her personal list of ten items that fill her flat in a Stalin-era building with beauty and harmony.

Rich Dark Color in the Bedroom

I'm very happy I used a rich dark color in the bedroom. In such an interior, it's easy to sleep well because it creates a cozy and secure atmosphere that promotes deep and peaceful sleep.

Vintage Lamp

A vintage lamp on a marble windowsill in the bedroom is aesthetic for the eyes. It provides soft and pleasant light, creating a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of an era when handcrafted work and classic style were at their peak.

Concrete Beam

We left the concrete ceiling and concrete beam, carefully scraping off all layers of paint. This decision added a natural texture and character to the interior.

Mosaic Windowsill

A mosaic windowsill is a very practical and stylish item. You can even place a hot pan on it, and it easily cleans from any stains and is not afraid of moisture, making it the perfect choice for any kitchen.

Vertical Radiator

A stylish vertical radiator adds an additional linear rhythm to the composition, highlighting the elegance of the interior and creating a sense of height and spaciousness.

Wooden Blinds

Wooden blinds are a very practical solution that allows convenient adjustment of light flow. When sunlight filters through the blinds, beautiful stripes form on the walls.

Vintage Stained Glass

Who said walls are only for paintings? Take a look at how the vintage stained glass fits harmoniously into the overall design of the space.

Hidden Mount Door

A hidden mount door leading from the kitchen to the child's room doesn't draw attention or break the wall, creating a harmonious and cohesive space ideal for family comfort.

Glazed Blocks Between Rooms

Light windows made from glazed blocks provide additional light and visually expand the space, creating an atmosphere of lightness and freedom.

Concrete Frame for Mirror

A concrete frame for a mirror looks very stylish and is affordable. At the same time, concrete is a practical material for interior design.

Each of the listed items has its own value for Ekaterina, and she is sure that they will become a source of inspiration for your own interior.
