The layout of the apartment, located in an old brick house, generally suited the owners. The designer only slightly enlarged the bathroom and combined the balcony with the living room, due to which there was more space and light.

"The design of the living room and bedroom is based on the principles of compositional symmetry," says Margarita. — The beauty of bright ethnic fabrics and details is emphasized by a calm, neutral background. An active combination of various oriental ornaments gives the interior a character and a memorable look."

"For this project, we found very interesting ceramics made and painted by hand in the workshop of Alisher Nazirov," the designer continues. — We were lucky, because Alisher does not often visit Moscow with his works. The composition of his plates above the table became the main decoration of the kitchen."

"Especially for this living room, I came up with an oriental-style decorative grille, and the addition to it were custom-made high lampshades-"minarets" installed on factory table lamps. In general, there are many accents in the combined space of the living room and kitchen: a fireplace, a grill, a wall with plates, but they gently and harmoniously combine with each other, complementing each other."
