Lamarty chipboard in the interior of the kitchen in the project "Dachny Otvet " on NTV. Russian fairy tale for the kitchen-dining room

The inspiration behind this interior project was the story of an old house, the family’s way of life, and their deep love for the culture of their native land.

The primary goal was to open up the space. Partitions in the entryway were removed, and floor-to-ceiling windows were added—now, natural light floods deep into the home, visually expanding the area. The repositioned kitchen doorway made it possible to create a full-fledged L-shaped kitchen set with spacious cabinets for appliances. Even the protruding chimney—a technically challenging element—was transformed into a magical portal thanks to mirror panels with a patina finish.

The kitchen space is designed at the intersection of classical style and historicism. Decorative plaster on the ceiling, natural-inspired painting, and bead-like glass light fixtures add sophistication. Visual references to Russian architecture and fairy tale ornaments are present in every corner—especially noticeable in the window openings, where custom-designed tiles depict fragments of familiar childhood stories. Here you’ll find fairy-tale characters, motifs of wooden architecture, and a palette of blues, snowy whites, and sky tones. The centerpiece of the dining area is a bright orange oval dining table with a sculpted base, custom-made from the designers’ sketches. It is surrounded by eclectic chairs, each with a shape that seems to come from a different era.

To transform the entryway, the walls were lined with SyPly construction-grade plywood, which provided a strong and even foundation for the decorative finish. The furniture in the hallway was made from Lamarty chipboard in a natural Oregano shade. This fresh green hue contrasts beautifully with the bright red ceiling and evokes a sense of nature indoors. Elegant gold tassel handles on the cabinet fronts add a touch of glamour. The cabinets on the right are adorned with luxurious bird motifs that echo the colors of the interior. In the hallway, attention is drawn to the red console table with slim legs, a full-height mirror panel, and a round pouf that gently invites you to sit. These are the elements that make the space feel alive and human. The picture is completed by a horse-themed wall panel, a fringe chandelier, collectible dishware, a key holder, and decorative cabinet details where bird and floral motifs repeat from other areas of the home.

The interior turned out like a fairy tale—warm, filled with meaning, inspiration, and comfort.
