When choosing a style of a Samara apartment, a minimalism has served as a guide for a designer. In the nature of the middle strip, harsh contrasts are rarely found: the view of the urban resident, tired by bright accents, caresses the combinations of warm and cold shades of water, wood, soil. And contemplative intonations of spacious interiors are given by the lowest "environmentally friendly" tones and textures, graphic details.
Young spouses purchased an apartment on one of the upper floors of a multi-storey monolithic concrete house-new building. The owners wanted the living room to be located in a single studio space with a kitchen-dining room, also required to plan two bedrooms (in the process of repairing the spouses, a child was born), a shopping room, two bathrooms - guest (with a shower compartment) and master (with bathroom). The dwelling should be arranged in the spirit of modern minimalism, with the predominance of a light gamma, emphasizing the space and lightness of the interiors.

Redevelopment
The elongated rectangle of the apartment with a balcony and two pairs of windows in the ends has a small protrusion to the left of the entrance door. According to the developer plan, all rooms were isolated, but the inner partitions were not supporting: it became possible to combine the kitchen and living room in a spacious studio, enter a dressing room in the bedroom, using the area of the storage room, and between the bathroom and the studio to provide an extended shopping room. By changing the configuration of the child, equipped another dressing room. After redeveloping the hallway, the hall has gained more complete outlines.
The main source of lighting in the studio serves a surplus backlight on the ceiling. It helps to create a transparent and easy atmosphere, as well as visually increase the height of the ceiling. Complement the picture furniture and textiles of light shades, embossed white wall surfaces (brick, lined with apron tiled), air rack with unusual mount
Repairs
The former brick partitions were partially disassembled and folded from the resulting material new, several were several of the drywall. Since the apartment is located in the house-new building, I had to fulfill the tie. The floors were told by the laminate of high-class wear resistance (32) and a thickness of 1 cm, imitating teak tree, and in the hallway, on the balcony, in the bathrooms and partly in the kitchen - porcelain tiles. Walls and ceilings leveled plaster. The height of the ceilings tried to preserve and lowered them using drywall structures in separate zones, for example above the kitchen, where the vents of the hood is located, as well as in areas with a surplus illumination. The balcony was glad, installing the windows with two-chamber windows, the floor, the walls and the ceiling were insulated. In the studio and both bedrooms mounted split air conditioning systems, outdoor blocks were placed on the facade, on the technical balcony.
In both bathrooms, the walls are lined with tiles under the stone: polished - in the guest, rough, resembling a natural texture - mainly. Both showerings are located in niches (in the guest in part). Mirrors, like ceilings, around the perimeter are equipped with LED backlight
Design
Open layout and color gamut of the public zone create an atmosphere of freedom and lightness. A wide discovery connects the hallway and the studio. The feeling of heat is set using an outdoor coating - the laminate imitates an array of teak with a characteristic "bitch" longitudinal-fibrous texture, reviving the space with golden brown shades. Long perspectives are gently "grounded" by color accents. Hall with puff-furry and chandeliers on long suspensions, with classic doors fillets and high plinths are associated with retro interinitioners of the beginning of the last century. Colored details contribute to the game with color and perspective: some help "remove" objects, others, by contrast, optically reduce distances.For decoration of the apartment as the main a warm shade of gray, which varies by tone in different rooms and zones. Against this background, white details of individual elements are highlighted, like summer clouds, reflected on the surface of water.
Decorative lines and planes
Natural materials and unusual textures are presented as expressive as possible, while the interiors of the apartment seem to be air. Economically used beautiful details create a feeling of unobtrusive diversity. So, in the kitchen, the island is made of quartzite desarms - its texture resembles marble with a lace pattern of residences of complex greenish-gray shades. The apron is made of white embossed tiles with a wave-like ornament, causing associations with a natural landscape. Fully lined niche laminate, in which the LCD panel is fixed, as if he moves the end wall of the living room inhouse.
The natural theme accompanies an unusual air rack with wooden shelves and forged metal "brackets" connecting it with a wall in random order and creating fine loops of the graphic pattern. Otherwise, laminate was used in the bedroom: it was composed of a strict decorative panel behind the headboard, associated with an abstract picture. A black rectangle of open brick simpleness in the hallway resembles a decorative panel, while the white brick wall with a similar vibrating surface complements the decorative scenario of the reception area, errors with an inhomogeneous velor's upholstery of the sofa.
Customers - energetic, modern people, love nature very much, appreciate Ekodesign. Therefore, in the interiors there are quite a few natural materials and textures. In addition, it was necessary to provide as a brighter addition to natural light as possible - now in the apartment even a few more artificial light than is required. Stone matte glow on the ceilings creates a refill backlight from LED tapes.
The owners really wanted to leave chairs from the massif, which they brought from their former apartment. The chairs made an unusual stylist contrast, but successfully fit into the situation of the studio due to the natural texture.
Part of the subjects made according to my sketches: dresser and rack in the living room, island, all furniture in the bathrooms.
In the shopping room, storage space was located around the ceiling perimeter. The kitchen island provided storage boxes. Doors of all kitchen modules - without invoice accessories: they can be opened due to special grooves. At the request of the owners, we installed two freezers in the kitchen, the refrigerator was located separately.
The sofa in the living room is folded into a double bed. All mirrors in the apartment, including bathroom, have been completed and equipped with built-in backlight.

A small kitchen island serves as a zoning element. From the side of the kitchen, storage boxes are built into it. The dining table tabletop is attached to one side to the side wall of the island. The lunch group focus the chandeliers
The glossy finish of light gray kitchen facades makes you forget about the prosaic function of the working area, which is harmoniously adjacent to the resting place. Countertop from quartzitan looks very elegant
In the bedroom, the sources of artificial lighting are LED backlighting and chandeliers on low suspensions on both sides of the headboard - they replace traditional sconces. Old turquoise color curtains contribute to eye relaxation
