Amazing living room solution
Each interior should carry a certain semantic load. Since Valentina Talyzina is from Siberia and has a strong and truly Russian character, the designers decided that the eclectic style would suit her for decorating the living room.
Valentina Talyzina's furniture collection included antiques that once belonged to the Lunacharsky family. A modern sofa was successfully matched to her and luxurious curtains of silk jacquard combined with snow-white tulle and golden curtains were sewn. In general, the interior has turned out in the chinoiserie style, combining the European luxury of eclecticism with a Chinese touch.
For finishing the floor, we chose a walnut-colored parquet board; wallpaper with vertical stripes, which visually increases the height of the living room, is well suited to it. The ceiling was simply painted and decorated with a wide baguette strip.
An unusual thing was hung over the sofa handmade panels in the Chinese style with a small woven arch. It seems to open up access to a new unknown world. The walls are decorated with black and white mat with the image of Siberian nature.
Against sofa put an unusual wall, the facades of which are decorated with mirror octahedrons and patinated inserts. The frame is made of natural wood, the material is refreshed by turquoise panels and internal lighting of the shelves.
Unique design of the kitchen
Valentina Talyzina's kitchen has long been in need of repair. Old furniture was purchased more than twenty years ago and has lost its relevance. In addition, a huge disadvantage of the room was a small window through which little light penetrated. This made the interior look even darker.
Valentina Talyzina asked the designers about only one thing - to make the room brighter, otherwise she is a very conservative person, therefore, from the newfangled modern styles, the actress in advance refused.
To decorate the apron in the working area, we chose a spectacular snow-white hog tile; for the seams, a contrasting dark gray grout was used. The table top is made of natural wood and covered with several layers of colorless varnish, which emphasizes the beautiful natural structure of the wood.
Unusual bathroom design
The designers have decorated the bathroom in the style of the traditional Russian North, using Mezen painting in red-white-black tones for the furniture facades. The lockers, decorated with such an ornament, seem to glow from the inside, personifying the goodness and wisdom of the ancestors. Every detail of the pattern is symbolic and deeply rooted.
The simple pattern is eye-catching and mesmerizing with its craftsmanship. Every detail and ornate curl, animal and bird, leaf and petal are exactly where they should be in the artist's opinion. All elements are created with love for age-old traditions and convey the images of the Slavs of ancient Russia.
Transformation of the bedroom in the country
Valentina Talyzina liked her renovated home so much that she decided to redo the bedroom in the country. It was originally a small room of 16 sq. m. on the second floor of the estate. Despite the three windows, the space looked dark and gloomy.
Low ceilings became the main problem, since the room is located under the roof itself. The craftsmen had to disassemble the top floor and re-fold it taking into account modern technologies. Thanks to this, the height of the bedroom is twice as high. The window opening was enlarged and instead of three small ones, one structure was installed, through which much more daylight began to penetrate.
Valentina Talyzina asked to leave the lining, which was used to decorate the entire room. Unfortunately, she was already all worn out, so she had to sheathe the bedroom with new material and paint it with a pale milk shade. For the floor, they chose a multi-colored laminate and a light-colored carpet was laid on top.
The designers decided to decorate the room in a gentle, rustic Provence style, and this turned out to be a win-win option. Curtains and canopy with lavender patterns, bedspread and pillowcases in the same style, even soft headboardcovered with blue fabric echoes the delicate ornamentation on the wardrobe doors.
Conclusion
Valentina Talyzina was absolutely satisfied with the chosen solutions for the re-registration of her home. The designers decided on bold experiments and did not fail - each new element of the interior pleasantly surprised the actress. She did not expect that she would like the unexpected mix of designs and bright colors.
