Unusual bedrooms: photos before and after renovations
If paint drips are visible on the wall, then … the repair is already over! It is just that designer Victoria Kolos had a hand in creating the interior of this unusual bedroom. We study the photo and take note of the design techniques!
Unusual bedrooms
Corinna and Nikolai Khizhnyakov are connected by passionate love – for each other and for the sky. He is a pilot, co-pilot on modern passenger liners; she is still looking for a job in the aviation industry.
The young owners decided to make the only room in their apartment full the bedroom… After all, guests can be received in the kitchen! Corinna and Nikolay dream of a beautiful, stylish, unusual space. They have no doubt that they will like the new interior in any case. The main thing is to be participants in this interesting experiment.
Since the life of the guys is connected with aviation, I created in the bedroom the story of a white sky with white clouds. I wanted to make a room in which comfort, solidity and fundamentalness are combined with instability, lightness, and the possibility of change. Furniture in the bedroom will be expensive and of high quality, and some understatement will become the background for it – we will cover the walls with newspapers with their reports on the crisis and other cataclysms. Yes, we all live in an aggressive environment, but we can isolate ourselves from it, create our own microcosm at home and enjoy life. We divide the room into three zones: , sleeping place and winter garden on the balcony. The light will be multi-level: built-in (main), chandeliers, table lamps, and floor lamps. They want it to be light – one story, they want intimacy – another.
All pieces of furniture for bedrooms picked up in white so they don’t clutter interior, but, as it were, dissolve in it, seem light and airy. When placing them, the classical principle of symmetry was observed.
Right at the entrance is wardrobe an area with a multi-section wardrobe on the entire wall and a large mirror standing on the floor symmetrically to the door. From bedrooms it is separated by a thick white curtain – under the condition of autonomous lighting, you can safely get ready for work, even if one of the spouses is still asleep. And to do this with comfort will help a chair – the famous “Louis” by Philippe Starck, repeating the features of baroque furniture in transparent plastic.
Central to the bedroom, unsurprisingly, takes bed… Victoria chose dear upholstered with draped linen on the sides and headboard. And the mattress was made at a Russian factory – comfortable, with an independent spring block and two types of filler: latex and coconut fiber. Perimeter mattress upholstered in a special three-dimensional fabric that allows him to breathe and ventilate. On both sides of the bed, pot-bellied bedside tables were placed, ironically playing on the Rococo theme, and on the contrary, on the sides of the fireplace, their antipodes – two chests of drawers of an emphasized laconic, strictly geometric shape. A mantelpiece attached to a plasterboard “firebox” is also useful – you can keep decorative trifles on it, and, if you wish, books and discs.
There was air conditioning in the room before, but the new interior required a more elegant solution for this purely technical device. The new compact unit, which is installed directly above the headboard, looks like a picture in a frame. He not only does not spoil the general appearance bedrooms, but also serves as a noticeable decoration. The images under the glass can be changed – in this case, a specially taken photo with a stucco bracket was placed there, and the air conditioner became the compositional center of a kind of architectural panel above the bed.
Only white fabrics are used in the interior: on the window, draped with curtain tape, the same curtains between the bedroom and the dressing room, roller blinds made of dense translucent non-combustible fabric on the loggia and pleated linen, which upholstered the sides and the head of the bed.
Our bedroom Is a miracle. So sweet, beautiful, gorgeous! Not male or female; the way a bedroom should be, so that it is good for the two of you. Exactly what we dreamed about, but could not explain … The walls with pasted newspapers made us indescribable delight, and the ironic idea of paint flowing from them deprived the interior of unnecessary pretentiousness and pomp, made it stylish and unusual. The fireplace was a pleasant surprise; I was glad that it is not electric, but decorative with candles. Looks romantic and elegant. In the interior, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, there is nothing superfluous, this is a holistic and complete composition. I was pleased with the symmetry, to which all the elements are subordinated. A huge gift – a large wardrobe, a mirror and roomy dressers. And, of course, our even though it is not attached to the room. It is so nice, waking up, to see outside the window, albeit small, but green trees, and not a construction site and gray houses!
The idea with paint drips came up already in the final. I visited the facility almost every day, watched the implementation of my plan, and at some point I felt that I still needed to misbehave, add “devilry”. The headboard seemed to me not expressive enough, and I “expressed” it with white streaks. They are echoed by the crinkled fabric used in the upholstery of the bed. As a result, the drips of paint gathered all the architectural elements, furniture (even the plastic chair got it!) And the air conditioner into a single story – the space formed into a single picture. In general, this project is like a white sheet. The owners will be able to experiment, bring something of their own, at your own discretion. I think it’s good, that’s what I was striving for.
