Masha Tsigal is one of the most famous and brightest designers in Russia. Despite her impeccable taste and design skills, she asked a colleague for help in furnishing her own apartment. Ariadna Shmandurova took part in the development of the project. The apartment turned out to be bright and unusual - the same as its owner.

The interior concept is the first step in design
The interior is fully consistent with the image of Masha Tsigal and her ideas about beauty. In one of the interviews, the designer said that she was always inspired by “girly” images – princesses, fairies. She transferred all this into adulthood - pink and purple shades predominate in the interior.
The apartment is located in a good location - not far from Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Before moving, Masha lived on Novaya Dmitrovka, but, having learned about the imminent birth of a child, she decided to expand the living space.
It was not difficult to choose an apartment - Masha Tsigal immediately liked the view windows and space. Even now, living in an apartment, she almost does not cover the windows with curtains so as not to restrict the flow of light.
Rooms without corners
The main idea of the design project was to create a space with rounded corners. When developing the design, two main directions were taken into account - the style of the 1960s and pop art. In order to add even more exclusivity to the space, it was decided to round almost all corners and choose only round furniture with graceful smooth lines.
The difficulty was that the initial layout of the apartment left no room for imagination. Several round partitions were installed, but Masha Tsigal's husband was not happy with such a decision - partitions "ate" most of the living space, as a result of which the apartment seems much smaller than it actually is deed.
Bright colors: purple, pink and white
At the very beginning of the renovation, lilac shades prevailed in the apartment - Masha wanted to decorate all the rooms in this color. In her opinion, the black and white interior is boring, she wanted to add as many colors as possible. However, over time, some of the purple walls were repainted white to soften the design.
Wenge parquet was chosen for finishing the floor - for several years this material has shown its best side. Once Masha's house had a small flood, and she was very worried about the repair of her neighbors, but the parquet kept all the water in one place.
The circle is the main design element, almost everything echoes this shape - from walls to decor. At first, Masha paid more attention to beauty and style, but after a few years of living in an apartment, she changed some details to more practical ones.
The main room in the apartment is the living room. The whole family gathers here to watch TV, chat and relax. Opposite the TV there is a sofa of an unusual shape. The corner in the living room is arranged in such a way that everyone has enough space in the house.
For Masha Tsigal, it is extremely important to have her own space in which she can be in silence and solitude - the living room often becomes just such a place.
The main emphasis is on details - a luxurious handmade tapestry depicting the god Vishnu hangs on the wall. Some of the decor items Masha brought from other cities and countries, such as Thailand, London.
Masha Tsigal adheres to the principle “The fewer things, the better” and periodically arranges decluttering, getting rid of everything superfluous. The rooms are always very clean and tidy, because if you leave things in the wrong places, no design, even the most beautiful and expensive one, will save you.
The designer does not spend much time in the kitchen, but she already regretted choosing a small oven and refrigerator – when it goes through repairs, she plans to prioritize functionality over style.
The apartment has two bathrooms, one of which Masha equipped completely to her taste and turned into a real girl's kingdom. In this room, she takes care of herself and spends a lot of time. In the bathroom there is a bathtub of an unusual shape, reminiscent of a mini-pool.
There is not a single corner in Masha Tsigal's house that could be called boring. The designer created the interior, based on her taste and image, so the apartment turned out to be as bright, outrageous and unusual as Masha herself.
