An apartment, like a theater, begins with a coat rack. But in the residential corridor, this "beginning" should not show the entire wardrobe of the owners. Therefore, along the long wall, we placed a wardrobe for outerwear and shoes with grayish-beige facades. 

In order to come from the street you can comfortably undress, we have provided two soft banquettes. Interestingly, there is a mirrored canvas not only above, but also below the seats. 

The front door is veneered with exotic wood in a beautiful dark chocolate shade. It looks noble and solid, as befits a business card of an apartment.
The goldfish, which probably swims in this aquarium, "conjured" this family not only wealth and two wonderful children, but also an apartment of 106 sq. m. We, of course, are not fish, but designers, and we were able to create an elegant interior. 

The seating area with sofa and TV is part of the large 30-meter space, which also houses the dining room and kitchen. The absence of a corridor allowed one zone to flow freely into another, and also let in much-needed sunlight. 

The calm pearl gray tones prevailing in interior design, which are perceived almost as white during the day, visually expand the space.
This small recreation area has an aquarium with a picturesque underwater world, a biofireplace with cheerful flames, and a large TV screen for family viewing. In short, all the components of a comfortable stay! 

Herringbone parquet, like the white paneled door, is a tribute to the classic style, which in small doses is quite appropriate in a modern interior. 

Wooden panels on the wall behind the TV support the texture of the parquet. Furniture in grays and blacks emphasizes the severity of the lines and contrasts with the light environment.
The living room with an imposing corner sofa and an armchair flows smoothly into the kitchen. The moldings that beautifully frame the living room walls look more interesting with a pair of sconces. 

Malevich had a black square, and we have black cubes! The delicate play of light is a decorative element of the interior in which minimalism reigns. The rounded lines of the table and armchair soften the austere character of the interior. 

At the back you can see the front door and the doors leading to the bathrooms. A large painting of palm leaves stands right on the floor, resembling a decorative panel. This design option is more practical in comparison with wallpaper with a floral ornament. If they get bored in a couple of years, you will have to re-stick, and the picture can simply be rearranged.
The corner of the corridor with the painting supports the theme of exotic floristry in the interior. But in the dining area, located in the middle of the kitchen, there was a place for an outdoor flowerpot with a plant. 

Excellent facade glazing gives a lot of sun not only to indoor greenery, but also to people. Moreover, in the cooking area, natural light is very important. 

Monochrome beige curtains surround the dining group around the perimeter, not focusing on your own attention. The curtain rod is hidden in the false ceiling. Thanks to this, the interior looks more neat.
Living room and kitchen in one bottle is always a challenge to the designer, who must not only create an interior in a single style and a single color scheme, but also make sure that every corner has its own face and character. 

For example, our recreation area turned out to be more romantic, and the kitchen was restrained and austere. It is located in a kind of niche, which forms part of the pier on the left. Deaf facades of grayish-beige color are matched to the furniture in the living room and corridor. As a result, the space is perceived as a whole.
Kitchen-dining room where you want to cook and receive friends. 

To make the interior look hospitable, we assigned the main role to the dining area. A large rectangular table with massive chairs is located closer to the window. The working area of ​​the kitchen with blank gray facades is located along one wall. 

A part of the opposite wall is occupied by a pencil case with a built-in oven and microwave. This piece of furniture has light wood facades. Herringbone parquet flooring brings a touch of classics to a modern interior, and a chandelier reminiscent of Saturn with rings is a high-tech element.

The kitchen-dining room looks very respectable. The cooking area, dining area and pencil cases with a built-in oven and microwave, as well as a refrigerator, are located parallel to each other. The table is located in the brightest place - near the window. 

In addition to such a plus as front glazing, the kitchen has another bonus - access to the balcony. As it goes into the living room, we also put herringbone parquet on the floor. Dining chairs have also been selected to blend in with the living room setting. 

The dining room is illuminated by an unusual modern chandelier. To support the dark glass of the built-in appliances, we have selected the table with a black tempered glass top.
A kitchen work line with a sink, hob and built-in dishwasher is located along the long wall. The backsplash is finished with white marbled tiles. The LED lighting of the top cabinets instantly transforms the design on the ceramic surface. The upper row of cabinets rests against the white plasterboard niche structure, thanks to which the kitchen ruler has a neat presentable look.
The interior of the bedroom largely repeats the design ideas used throughout the apartment: calm colors, laconic forms, a variety of textures. But there are also details that are twins - beige curtains, gathered in beautiful folds. The vertical lines they form echo the wood planks that frame the headboard wall. This creates the much-needed dynamics in the interior. The floor is covered with a laminate with a light wood texture.
As the Little Prince said, woke up - put yourself and your planet in order. For the first one, a small but comfortable dressing table is provided in this bedroom. More precisely, a console with a drawer, which is part of a hinged structure in the teleson. The fact that it is one-piece is a big plus not only from an engineering point of view, but also from an aesthetic one. Different sets of furniture in such a small room would look out of place. 

Above the corner of beauty, a mirror sheet is mounted up to the ceiling. The mirror reflects light and visually enlarges the space. The table is specially made at such a height so that it is comfortable to sit behind it and hide an ottoman under it.
A complete wardrobe is the dream of any housewife. Especially a lady who lives not in a private house, but in a city apartment, where, as always, "the kingdom is not enough and there is nowhere to roam." 

In order to arrange storage space for things and shoes in a small bedroom, we used the magic of ... glass. For the doors, we chose smoky triplex - it is translucent, so it visually extends the space behind the doors. And at the same time, it is rather difficult to consider what is behind such doors.
The bedroom "shows" in the interior a black and white "cinema" with a touch of classics. A white paneled door and a pouf with a hint of a large capitonné carriage turnbuckle are classic notes. 

The snow-white chest of drawers under the TV, turning into a dressing table (the design is made to order) and the doors of the smoky glass wardrobe look very modern. Sashes with long metal handles reach up to the ceiling itself, which visually increases its height. Well, the LED lighting hidden in the false ceiling adds lightness to the interior.
The wall behind the headboard is accentuated with narrow wooden planks for a dynamic pattern. Another interesting quilted texture is matched to the bed frame. 

The theme of black contrasts is continued by bedside lamps and a large outdoor flowerpot with a palm tree. Such large plants always stretch the interior vertically, and the greenery itself perfectly purifies the air.
The children's room for a girl is the brightest room in the apartment. There are many iridescent tones and spectacular accents, but thanks to the light beige background, they do not hurt the eyes. 

The mint upholstery of the bed frame looks like a green glade, and the round rug beside it looks like the sun. Another "sun", only a pink sunset, with the inscription "Hello" is located on the wall behind the bed. The most unusual thing is the front of the cabinet with scarlet and orange squares and inserts from wood cuts with characteristic circles, or rather annual rings.
Located by the window, or rather the balcony block, the workplace is devoid of bright colors, which helps the child to focus on the lessons, and not be distracted by bright accents. Instead of a cumbersome superstructure, we installed light hinged shelves in the form of squares. One square is grayish-lilac in color, like the nightstand under the table, and the second is snow-white, like the table. 

The modern model of the table itself is also very interesting, with metal legs that are a continuation of the side walls. So that the edge of the table top does not interfere with the work, the structure has a convenient "edging" with rounding along the front. The chair is also fashionable and ergonomic, with a high back.
The entrance to the children's room is hidden around the corner that forms the wardrobe. Thus, the sleeping place is hidden from prying eyes and the child feels more comfortable when an adult enters the room. At the end, to the right of the entrance, we have equipped a TV zone. 

The accent wall with the TV is highlighted by the wallpaper with a dark gray pattern repeating on a light gray background. The geometric pattern gives the interior a dynamic, and the repeating shapes - laconic. Instead of the usual console under the TV, we made a floor structure with a narrow, full-wall, open shelf, under which shallow drawers for all kinds of children's treasures slide.
A large chandelier and spotlights "scattered" on the ceiling are responsible for the general lighting in the children's room. A chandelier with a transparent and incredibly lush fabric shade resembles a ballerina's tutu. 

This design accent brings a touch of romance to strict minimalism. And so that the child does not strain his eyes while doing his homework, we have provided a simple table lamp. And for such a useful visual charge, the child just needs to look into the distance - through the window, where the urban landscape opens up during the day, and the lights of the big city shine in the evening.
How to create the interior of a children's room, or rather a teenage room, so that it has a lot of bright accents, but the situation does not look colorful and cutting eyes? 

Pick up color pairs from opposite or adjacent “pieces” of the color wheel, but at the same time choose shades of the same brightness level. For example, instead of aggressive red, we took scarlet, instead of burning yellow - fresh lemon, and instead of simple turquoise - a complex mint shade. Not very saturated and muted colors give the interior a delicate feminine character. But the whole interior turned out to be bright and joyful!
This children's room is designed for a boy. It has a more discreet design and more functional - there is a sleeping and working area, as well as a sports corner. 

However, the interior cannot be called neutral, because there are bright accents in it, albeit to a small extent. These are shelves on the wall in blue, lilac and pinkish-beige colors, and yellow desk legs, and a blue curtain rod for curtains. To smooth out the strict geometry, we selected a chair with a rounded back and a round textured floor mat.
White became the basic color in the design of this interior and helped to visually expand the boundaries of the room and become a winning backdrop for bright accents. The second color actively used in the interior is grayish-bluish-lilac. Wikipedia even found a purely masculine name for it - Air Force Blue, that is, military air blue. So we left the banal marine theme, but kept a restrained cold range of shades. The door leaf is also white, it practically merges with the wall. On the floor there is a laminate with a light wood texture.
The corner near the writing desk is made of wood, a warm and pleasant natural material. 

There is a wall bars, a horizontal bar, bars, a rope and even a swing. To make it convenient for the little owner of the room to climb and pull up, we have provided enough free space so that the swing door, which is on the left, does not inadvertently open and injure the child. In general, when thinking over furniture, it is very important to provide free approaches to all "objects" and ensure ergonomics.
Now it is fashionable to make a nursery for growth, thinking in advance of a design that is good for both a small child and a schoolchild. Therefore, for the decoration of the wall behind the head of the bed, we selected a newspaper print in the form of an edging of a white plastered surface. Until the baby grows up, you can hang bright pictures or his first funny drawings here. Later it will be possible to arrange a real exhibition of posters or photographs here. Moreover, such an exhibition can change quite often, each time creating a new mood in the interior. The laconic white sconce above the bed in the shape of a cylinder is chosen from the same series as the ceiling spotlights.
Thank you for watching, I am very pleased with your attention to my work. 
I will be glad to your assessment.
