Olga’s client turned to her, totally without knowing what interior he would like to get. Due to his trust to Olga as a professional, the result met all the customer’s expectations.
The client is a young IT specialist, who bought a flat in a modern and stylish housing development of Minsk called Comfort Park. Olga took notice of the client’s character and understood that he needed a restful, practical interior, but with a zest. Designer decided to reflect the colour combinations of the fronts outside the window in the interior of the flat.
The client wasn’t ready for experiments with the planning and preferred a practical variant. But in this variant, there was a long corridor that most designers do not like. Olga offered to install a lighting window in the wall of the home office, to make the entrance hall not so dark and deprived of any kind of daylight. They also placed a big floor-to-ceiling mirror and added some graphics and coziness with gypsum railings and interesting lamps.
The client liked the idea with accent elements of graphite colour, which add a slight contrast. The decoration of the walls and the floor is quiet. Remarkably, the walls and the ceiling are painted the same colour, which visually increases the height of the ceiling. This effect is reinforced by the vertical railings on the walls.
Ochre shades, which are present in the decoration of the front outside the window, perfectly blended into the colour scheme of the interior, laying emphasis on the natural colour of the parquete board. Due to the installation of the window, Olga didn’t design a full-wall wardrobe to retain lightness, and added a soft bench with drawers for home stuff. Thus, outside the kitchen, we do not bump into a wardrobe, but see a simplified and lightened solution.

Right from the corridor, next to the entrance hall, there is the customer’s home office. He plans to work from home as a freelancer, as well as from the office. So, on his request, we designed a desk with a lifting mechanism in the same stile as all the case furniture. With this practical and comfortable solution, it is possible to work both upright and seated.
The wardrobe serves as an additional storage area. In the future, there will be a comfortable sofa for rest. The window is dressed with wooden shutters the same colour as those fronts outside the window.
All the case furniture in the flat is executed in the same design and colour score.

In the bedroom, there are two curved walls. Originally, it seemed to be a problem, but Olga managed to design a delicate solution as a unified composition of a dresser with its top continuing into a dressing table with a tall mirror.
The bedroom interior turned out light, cozy, with a little balcony. There is a lot of storage space. All the furniture is made according to the designer’s sketches.
In the bedroom, there are different sources of lighting. Olga likes to fill her interiors with versatile lighting depending on its functions and purpose in a certain place.

Another difficulty with the lighting in the flat is that there are only three windows and two of them are with open and closed balconies. Unfortunately, the window with the closed balcony is in the living kitchen. It was decided to place a TV zone with a seating area next to the window, and the kitchen in a kind of pocket. The kitchen turned out U-shaped, very spacious and practical, with a convenient working triangle.
In the living-room, Olga added some warm shades to the interior not only by means of textiles. The cupboard fronts in the kitchen and the TV-cabinet with a natural oak texture harmoniously fitted into the interior. Thus, the kitchen turned out warmer and diluted the basic grey colours of the furniture. Beside, there is a big dining table with warm texture.
The tiles on the splash back is the same design as on the floor, just glossy in order to reflect the light from the window, which the kitchen interior lacks so much.

Olga deliberately didn’t load the interior with extra details, so that the client could fill it himself in the future without overloading the general perception. Over the sofa, for example, there can be a few pictures or posters, and there is already a wall lamp provided for that.
As in the whole interior, there are several scenarios of lighting with different temperature.
Daylight white for work and general tasks, warm wall lights and backlighting for cozy pastime.

There are two sanitary rooms in the flat: a bathroom and a toilet. The client wanted to have two toilet bowls, so everything is very compact in the bathroom.
In the sanitary rooms, there is porcelain stoneware, as in the whole flat. Olga suggested not putting it floor-to-ceiling, but showing the same technique as in the rest of the flat: to paint some walls and the ceiling the same colour. The furniture is of a warmer shade.
