Houses of Russian celebrities: photos
The editorial staff of Woman`s Day decided to ask the representatives of the Russian show business what they dream about. More precisely, what kind of interior they would like to create in their apartments and how they go to their goal. We interviewed some of the stars and got some very interesting answers.
They have beauty, youth, national fame and big fees. It would seem that nothing is impossible to realize your life plans. But, as it turned out, the stars also have their own dreams, which have not yet been fully realized in life. So what are they dreaming about?
“I have two sons who are growing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, we all need a large space – both for relaxation and for games. My dream is to live in a big house outside the city, where everyone will have their own big room. And a home theater so we can all watch movies together; I have been dreaming about him for a long time! I really like to tinker with flowers, so I would definitely create flower beds with flowers on the site. And I would definitely invite a landscape specialist to develop something beautiful and original for me – some mini-waterfall with a mill or a pond with fish. And it is imperative to create a sports zone on the territory of the site so that my sons and I can go in for sports in the fresh air. “
Anastasia Denisova, actress
“Since childhood, I have had a very strange hobby. I don’t even remember how old I was when I first decided to move the furniture in my room, apparently, as soon as there was minimal physical strength to move the cabinet from its place.
While living with my parents, I regularly moved furniture every six months, tried new combinations.
When I began to live separately, I deliberately designed an apartment with the expectation that I would constantly change, buy, rearrange something. Therefore, in my apartment there were almost no walls and partitions, and furniture to a minimum.
But the years go by, and I begin to formulate very clearly what kind of ideal interior I want, where I will live as comfortably as possible.
We celebrated my birthday the other day, and the theme of the party was based on the contrast of opposites. I was a brasserie princess! Sheer pink mi-mi-mi and brutal peasant pub! When I saw a long wooden bar counter in The Stag’s Head Pub, I finally realized that I absolutely need a bar counter at home, if not so large, to receive guests and feel myself in a relaxed and carefree atmosphere! “
“My dream is to live in a skyscraper, and as high as possible. If I choose between a house and an apartment on a high floor, then I will definitely choose an apartment, and the higher it is, the better. I am now thinking about buying an apartment and considering for myself houses with a height of at least 17 floors. In general, I am a maximalist and in everything I try to think through everything to the smallest detail. The view from the window is very important to me. Seeing the next window or wall is clearly not for me! I want the view to be of a park, or a forest, or a body of water. And the city panorama is also suitable, the lights of the night city are so mysterious and bewitching. I really like panoramic windows, and they will definitely be in my apartment. I want to install an island in the kitchen, I have dreamed of it for a long time. I see my future housing in the Art Deco or Art Nouveau style, but the most important thing is that I want to do everything according to Feng Shui. This is a very serious science, according to which even entire states live. Take, for example, Singapore – not a single building will be built there without discussing it with a feng shui specialist. And look how this country is flourishing! “
“I have always dreamed of living outside the city in my own house. And my dream has come true: my parents and I are now building a house in the Moscow region. And we do a lot of things with our stepfather with our own hands. The house will be wooden, and this is also part of the dream. And in one of the rooms I want to make a large bookcase for the whole wall – I always really wanted to have my own library in my house. And I also want to hang a photo wallpaper with a view of nature on one of the walls. Which one, I have not yet decided. I love water very much, so we decided to make an indoor pool on the site. Of course, not of an Olympic scale, but such that one could swim in it! “
“I love space. All my life I dreamed of having such a space around me, in which there is nothing superfluous. I hate any such frames, statues, trinkets. All that I can afford “for beauty” is paintings in modest, not distracting from the plot, canvases, baguettes. If you have any interesting collection of Soviet porcelain or an ensemble of antique terracotta figures – I saw such figures in Vietnam, at the Angsana Lang Go hotel, and I really liked them, then to have a separate equipped wardrobe / pedestal / compartment and a place for it, again, like this pool in the photo, which, in my opinion, works very cool in the interior. Including as a humidifier. I hate dry air at home!
But, as Mayakovsky wrote, dreams are broken about everyday life, and if you want to live in love and harmony, then you need to listen to the opinion of your neighbors and make compromises even in interior matters.
So the dream house will remain the dream house, that’s where it belongs. “
“I grew up in a poor family, and our life was modest. At that time, I dreamed that I would have a big house where my whole family would live. My sisters with their families, my mother, my grandmother are all my family.
Now I see it not just as a large house, but rather in the form of several houses on one large cozy common area.
I have always liked spacious high-tech interiors, where everything is thought out and not too pretentious. In my home, I would like just such an environment. Nice, no frills and everything is functional, but the most important thing is the large windows. I also like it when the space is open, and I want the first floor of my house to be minimally divided into separate rooms. Kitchen, living room – it should all be one big space. And of course, the most important thing is that my loved ones are close and they feel comfortable. “
Denis Rodkin, dancer, premier of the Bolshoi Theater
“Since I work at the Bolshoi Theater, I am an adherent of the classical style. My dream apartment is a solid noble or merchant house in the center of Moscow. I was in the House-Museum of Galina Ulanova, and it made a huge impression on me – it was quiet, calm, very cozy! Unfortunately, there are very few such houses left, but they have incredible energy! My dream apartment should have at least five rooms and a sauna. For us, ballet dancers, it is very important because it helps to recover faster after performances or rehearsals. In another room, I would like to make a library – with antique furniture and rare books. And I definitely want a dressing room where, in addition to the usual things, my theatrical costumes would be kept. “
