Original interior of an apartment in London
Wondering how to combine country elements with modern home decoration? How to saturate an apartment with nice little things and still not litter it? How to equip a home with comfort, take into account fashion trends, but bend them to your taste? See how it happened with the owners of a London apartment in conjunction with the designer. The highly eclectic interior fascinates with individuality, attracting with the warmth and coziness of a modern home, furnished with great comfort. We begin our tour with the largest and most central room of the English apartments, combining the functions of a living room, dining room and kitchen.
Obviously, for an eclectic interior, saturated with various pieces of furniture and all kinds of decor, snow-white walls and flooring with a warm shade of wood will be an ideal background. In a spacious room, an open layout of three functional areas helps to maintain a sense of spaciousness and freedom, to carry out unhindered movement. The living room area is distinguished by a corner sofa on one side and a TV on the other. The functional segment of the dining room is located in the bay window and has a very conditional zoning - only through the dining group. The kitchen area is located in a certain recess of the room and is fenced by the bottom row of kitchen cabinets.
Country elements in a modern interior occupy one of the key places. For example, a large oval table and small hemp stools carved from logs look very organic in the snow-white area of the dining room. In the country-style living area, the original execution of the coffee table is continued with a chipped wooden tabletop and deliberately rough edges.
The decor in the London apartment is given special attention - small sculptures, artworks and photos within the owners of the apartments are placed literally everywhere. The same applies to the textile design - bright sofa cushions, handmade bedspreads, carpets in the form of imitation of animal skins.
The kitchen area is not only partially separated from the general space of the room, but also has an individual finish. The light design of the kitchen unit helps to create a light and fresh atmosphere, not to mention the visual expansion of the space.
U-shaped layout of kitchen storage systems, household appliances and work surfaces is great for compact arrangement of an area in which there is no need to place a dining group. The absence of the upper tier of kitchen cabinets made it possible to create a lighter image of the segment for cooking. Under the cabinet, only the hood above the stove is masked.
An open shelf around the perimeter of the kitchen area is not only an opportunity to place a collection of family photos, but also a surface for mounting built-in lighting. It is obvious that for the working surfaces of the light from a pendant lamp will not be enough and lighting is necessary for the normal execution of kitchen processes.
For some, the kitchen sink located at the window is the ultimate dream, but for some British people, patriotism prevails and as a result, you can wash the dishes while looking at the portrait of the queen.
Next, we move on to private rooms and consider the interior of one of the bedrooms. The difficult geometry of the room dictates the features of the finish. It is not surprising that the white color of the surface design was chosen as the main one. Given the love of the owners of the apartment to eclecticism, the use of hand-made things, antique interior items, or executed using parts that performed other functions earlier, it is not surprising that there are enough accents in this room for sleeping and relaxing. Bright textiles, colorful ornaments, an unusual bench, original lighting fixtures - everything in this bedroom works to create a unique, interesting and unique image.
Of course, it’s more logical to equip a room in which there is so much literature in a bookcase, but books stacked in a chaotic stack can serve as a highlight of the interior, acting as an art object.
The second bedroom is decorated in soothing colors with a cool palette. But this room is not without interesting interior items, unique decor and original textiles. Of course, the central element in the design of the bedroom is the bed - the soft headboard in a pleasant turquoise color creates an elevated mood for the entire interior. And the textile design of the bed using the same shade effectively completes the image of the focal center of the room.
And again, the snow-white palette for wall decoration became a winning option for decorating the room - the small-sized room needed visual expansion, and the unusual wall decor needed a perfect background.
A light touch of the turquoise blue palette is also present in the wall decor, in the design of a low bedside table and even in the carpet. An attractive highlight of the bedroom interior was an ensemble of additional pieces of furniture - a carved seat and mirror frame, made in the same decor, look spectacular, attract attention and decorate the design of the room.
The bedroom is completed by a small, but interesting from the point of view of design, bedroom pendant lamp with a paper shade in oriental style and an unusual wall decor.
The bathroom in the English apartment is a passage through which you can access both from one of the bedrooms and from the hallway space. Everything in this utilitarian room is non-trivial, interesting and unique - from the location of plumbing to color schemes.
Unusual for the bathroom, the chocolate color of the walls can afford, perhaps, only a room of a sufficiently large size. A pleasant natural shade has become an excellent background not only for snow-white plumbing, but also for the original decor.
Even in the bathroom space, the owners of the apartment, together with the designer, do not miss the opportunity to bring eclecticism into the interior, saturating it with country elements, original decorative little things and, of course, functional objects.
