Design 3 room apartment
Photo 1. The room before renovation. Photo 2.A room after renovation. The living room is dominated by a sofa by Albert&Shtein (Furniture Factory "March 8", Russia). The designer liked its simple shape and neutral arpatec upholstery. And so that it does not look boring, Natalia suggested buying additional pillows (KA International, Spain). The difficult task of 2013 was to transform a small bedroom (16 m2) into a living room combined with a dining room. And so that the room does not seem overloaded with furniture, is free and bright. Designer Natalia Khopta succeeded. She organically fit a large sofa, two armchairs and a dining group consisting of a folding table and four chairs into the space. Making the room bright turned out to be difficult. The windows face northeast, and the sun appears here only in the early morning, and even then for a very short time. The presence of a balcony with two large, full-length doors came to the rescue. Previously, they were half glazed, half covered with plastic. The doors were made completely transparent, and now nothing prevents natural light from entering the room.
Photo 1.An old, inherited armchair fits perfectly into the modern interior. The space around it is contrastingly decorated with pictures cut out of modern Hanna wallpaper (O design, Sweden). Photo 2. The balcony doors were completely glazed, and the grating was freed from the dull hardboard. Now the balcony, overlooking a quiet courtyard, simultaneously serves as a source of daylight and part of the "decor". Photo 3. The modern interior style dictates its own rules. Down with old dishes on the mezzanine, long live new glass! Sockets and glasses from IKEA. Photo 4. A cozy reading corner: a small coffee table (Germany) and an armchair with a comfortable back (KA International, Spain). Decorative element - a frame on the wall (IKEA). Room plan
