Designer Tatyana Kononova-Levina has created a harmonious space where every detail contributes to a feeling of comfort, brightness, and warmth.
The main idea is to emphasize the individuality of the interior, making space and light its key allies. That’s why the choice to replace a solid partition with a glass one became not only a visual solution but a conceptual one as well — to keep the space "alive" rather than closed-off.
Glass acts as a transformative tool — it functionally separates the bedroom from the stairway area while still allowing light to reach the darker staircase zone. When privacy is needed, drawing the curtain over the interior window is enough. This solution not only maintains the sense of openness but also creates a cozy perspective: through the glass, you can see a wall with family photographs, which became an emotionally significant element of the project.
Color accents and surface textures set the mood of the interior. The bathroom was fully equipped thanks to a simple yet ingenious solution — relocating the door. This made it possible to install a spacious storage system made of moisture-resistant SyPly DESIGN plywood. Two expressive decors were used here: "Chronos" with a dark wood grain texture and the refined grey-beige "Teffy". These not only visually balance each other but also emphasize the modern aesthetics of the bathroom, creating a sense of coziness even in this utilitarian area.
The sleeping area retained the bed in its usual spot — it was comfortable and didn’t need to be moved. Instead, the focus shifted to comfort and style: a boucle-upholstered armchair and a small stone-topped side table created a cozy nook for reading, relaxing, and enjoying music. There is nothing superfluous in this space, but everything necessary is present.
The primary material used in the bedroom was Lamarty laminated chipboard. It was used to make the floating bedside tables and dressing table. The "Teffi" decor became a unifying motif, repeated across different elements to support visual cohesion. It reappears in the architectural shelving unit, now paired with the "Swiss Elm" wood décor by Lamarty — a contrast that adds expressiveness to the construction. This approach — combining the same color in different materials — became a signature feature of the project, where every surface contributes to the overall spatial concept.
Books arranged on shelves, a harmonica as the centerpiece, and a vibrant ficus plant — everything here is carefully thought out. The final touch is the Lamarty chipboard shutters in the "Teffi" shade on the French window. The four-panel structure not only complements the overall style but also ensures the level of functionality so essential in a small space.
