“We removed as many walls as was
possible to achieve an open space
effect. A wooden wall acts as a partition
between the entrance hall and
living area.”
The project consists of 2-bedroomed apartments located in the
centre of Kiev, Ukraine, with a total area of 175m2 designed
by Nataly Bolshakova. (Lead of the Interior design Company,
Member of the Society of British International Design SBID,
Regional director SBID Ukraine, Winner of European Property
Awards 2015, and Winner of SBID International Design Awards
2012). This project was created for a young couple, who are well
travelled and have formed their own vision and taste in decor. The
aim was a symbiosis of hotel style, luxury contemporary design
and not dry minimalism.
This interior is most impressive in the evenings, when the whole
scenario glimmers with the exclusive sets of lighting. Dark
tints and contrasts dominate here; one can feel totally at ease
surrounded by these deep colours.
The living-room is organized as a studio, the kitchen is incorporated
into in the living area and designed to complement the main
concept. We removed as many walls as was possible to achieve an
open space effect. A wooden wall acts as a partition between the
entrance hall and living area. The bedroom is a special place. Deep
and warm textures of wood, ochre and bronze create a cosy feeling
in the space. Bespoke design wood panels feature here. The open
bath tub installed in the bedroom is an unusual solution, but it
worked. Walls in the section containing the bath are covered with
panels of glass and wood.
Nataly Bolshakova: Minimalism and discreet luxury - so you
can briefly describe my “signature” style that can be traced in
almost every project of our studio. We managed to create our
own style which is sustained, recognizable, elegant, developing
in line with the European traditions, but at the same time it
is modern. Clean architectural lines, impeccable selection of
furniture and contemporary art raise questions - indispensable
components of our interiors. Another important part of our
approach to the creation of the interior is the cooperation with
the best producers and legendary brands. I sincerely believe
that It is not necessary to agree to a compromise in matters of
quality, because it is the only way to achieve the best result.
