Purple Haze
Design by Elena DorofeevaLiving room interior designColoristic solutionThe design of this living room is based on different shades of lavender - from lilac to blueberry: such tones allow you to completely dissolve in the magical sounds of music. The piano is located opposite the sofa and turned into a real art object. The body of the instrument is painted ivory and decorated with gold leaf. The wall next to the piano is covered with wallpaper with a pattern of cherry blossoms. Thanks to this, the music area has become even more active. All the furnishings and most of the accessories are matched to the musical instrument. Such are the soft sofa, floor lamps on high elegant legs, etc. Even the coffee table and floor covering are made of bleached wood. Black has become an accent color. It is present in the candlesticks and dried flower arrangements.Living room interior with piano

Sketch in dark colors
Design by Irina Zharikova, Olga RubeykinaThe design of this living room is very unusual –An unconventional combination of colors was chosen: bottle green plus red and white. In addition, the room contains black and dark brown. In addition, several decorative techniques were implemented here: the piano is recessed into a plasterboard niche, and above the musical instrument there is a shelf and another spacious niche hidden behind a Roman blind. Many different little things, which are so difficult to find a place for in the living room, are stored in display cabinets installed on both sides of the plasterboard structure. Opposite the piano are two elegant tables. On one of them there is a designer, hand-painted table lamp (one of the most interesting objects in the room). A small sofa and a swivel chair form a soft group. An ottoman is used as a coffee table. By the way, if necessary, it can be transformed into a bed. High blinds serve as curtains.

Improvisation on the classic theme
Design by Dmitry UrayevInterior of this living roomhas absorbed different historical eras: classic furniture peacefully coexists here with minimalist furnishings. This relaxed coexistence is facilitated by accessories of classic shapes in a modern design - nickel-plated coffee tables, a designer radiator, candlesticks and vases. A piano is hidden in a niche built of plasterboard. Another niche was constructed nearby. It was turned into a display cabinet, where there is room for folders with sheet music and a record player with CDs. The armchairs and coffee tables are mobile enough to be moved from one place to another if necessary. The walls are covered with yellow wallpaper with classic medallions, which give the interior a feeling of warmth and bright sun.
