The designer has designed a comfortable space for a family with two children, where there is a common area for family pastime and private rooms for practicing your favorite hobbies.
Customers and tasks
The owners of this apartment in a modern residential complex in St. Petersburg are a family with two children: a 9-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy. The hostess of the house loves to cook and is fond of sewing, the children study and play music with guitar and piano, and the head of the family works a lot, and at home strives for a full rest. Based on this, designer Alexandra Yakushenko had to design the interior of their apartment.
Redevelopment
The designer calls the original layout "good": there were three isolated rooms, two bathrooms (one of them is attached to the bedroom) and a fairly spacious kitchen-living room. They did not make global changes, but improved the available data. So, according to the plan from the developer, the kitchen was supposed to occupy a niche with a length of 2.2 linear meters. But the family needed a more spacious and roomy area. The designer solved the problem by placing a partition for the installation of cabinets-pencil cases with appliances, as well as disassembling the lining of pipes, access to them was organized in the kitchen pencil case. In addition, the kitchen layout now provides a kitchen island. "We managed to add functional space and increase the total kitchen mouldings by almost 3 times," says Alexandra.
The shared bathroom is irregular in shape, with beveled corners. These shortcomings had to be corrected already with the help of custom-made furniture. In particular, cabinets under the sink of a complex design that aligns the wall.
Finishing
Paint was chosen for wall decoration. Shades of gray are used as the main background, they are diluted with mint and white in the furniture and partially in the decoration. For example, in the kitchen-living room, the lower cabinets of the headset and the island are decorated in mint color, part of the wall on the border of the kitchen and living room is painted in the same shade. The apron is made of tiles with a terrazzo pattern.
The walls are decorated with moldings, and the ceilings are cornices. In the kitchen-living room and hallway-corridor, the designer used an unusual spectacular technique: a thin molding painted in mint color is stretched under the cornice (the main accent shade of this interior). "It emphasizes the geometry of the room well," explains the author of the project.
In the parents' bedroom, they decided to emphasize the wall behind the headboard of the bed. For this purpose, decorative painting with velour texture was used, such a technique does not overload the interior, but makes it more interesting, eliminates the need to somehow decorate the wall.
Granite was laid on the floor in wet areas and in the hallway, and laminate was chosen for the living rooms. In the kitchen-living room there is a combination of porcelain stoneware (in the kitchen area) and parquet boards.
Storage systems
Closets have been provided for storage in each bedroom. So, in the parents' room they decided to use the window space, there was a small closet, but of standard depth, as well as a workplace with a pedestal and a narrow locker. The table is designed for the mistress's favorite hobby of sewing. For additional storage, a hanging chest of drawers opposite the bed and two hanging cabinets were provided.
In each nursery there are wardrobes and work places with shelves and shelves where you can store textbooks and notebooks.
In the hallway there is a built-in wardrobe, the facades of which are painted in the color of the walls. One of the facades is decorated with a mirror for visual expansion of the space. The end of the cabinet from the corridor to the kitchen is complemented by a showcase. "This is done to visually lighten the wall and create a more pleasing to the eye perspective from the kitchen," explains the designer. In addition, there is a hanger and a shoe rack in the hallway.
We have already discussed the placement of the kitchen in detail in the paragraph on redevelopment, but we repeat that in order to make the kitchen as spacious as possible, the designer thought through minor changes at the design stage. With the help of the island, the functionality has been expanded: inside there are storage boxes and a built-in microwave oven, as well as a wine cabinet. In the living room area there is a hanging console with a pencil case.
In the bathrooms, storage is organized with the help of drawers under the sinks, and a closet is also provided in each bathroom. In a large shower room, it managed to accommodate a washing machine and a boiler.
Lighting
Chandeliers and track lamps have been thought out as a common overhead light. In the bedrooms by the beds there are sconces for evening light, in the bathrooms there are illuminated mirrors over the sinks. In the shower there is a decorative suspension by the mirror.
Designer Alexandra Yakushenko, author of the project:
The main theme of the common space was a palette built on a combination of mint and white. Furniture and textiles support this idea. Sofa upholstered in color Deep ocean ("deep ocean") stands next to the painting, which contains pink tones. Mint color dosed "goes out" into the hallway area (moldings), as well as shades of pink (furniture). In the girl's room, mint color is represented on the facades of the cabinet and in textiles. Black as an accent in details: chair legs, piano, table handle. And in the boy's room, the palette is darker and stricter. Here blue and blue shades appear in furniture and textiles in combination with a dark floor.
