This apartment located in Saint-Petersburg was decorated by INT2. A good example for those who want to structure a large room and keep an open space while creating several different functional areas. This Scandinavian-style apartment is just perfect!

The Main Room: Kitchen + Dining Room + Living Room + Office + Piano

We note:

➨ Spaces delimitation: a wood loggia for the dining room, white bricks and a dark wood bar for the kitchen, a large rug around the sofa.  

1. Kitchen

We love:

• Art on a kitchen wall;
• White bricks that look like tiles;
• Industrial-style lights;
• Stools stored under the bar for a much neater impression.

We note:

➨ Different floorings to show different spaces.

2. Dining Room

We love:

• wood raw material;
• the rear shelves with beautiful tableware;
• the unpaired chairs. 

3. Living-Room

We love:

• the mix of different geometric patterns;
• the vintage style of the furniture.

We love:

• the fox (an original touch in this Scandinavian design);
• the decentred canvas and lamp;
• the unpaired furniture;
• the orange touch (lamp + canvas).

We note:

➨ wallpaper on a single section of the wall;
➨ the mix of geometric patterns;
➨ the mix of pastel colors.

4. The Piano

We note:

➨ the grey wall to create a distinct space;
➨ Frames just put on the Piano and decentred.

5. Office

We note :

➨ The office is isolated from the rest of the room thanks to bilateral bookshelves, that also bring some additional storage space.

Bathroom

We note:

➨ A short band of colored tiles over a white base.

We love:

• the black matte bathtub;
• the whale poster;
• the ladder;
• the two nude bulbs.

We note:

➨ just one section of the wall with blue pattern;
➨ the yellow desk lamp on the wall.

Bedroom

We love:

• blue and orange colors together, a great match of 2 complementary colors;
• the mirror hanged with leather belts;
• the two-colored wall (and the fuzzy delimitation).

Laundry room

We love:

• the geometric pattern on the floor;
• the mix wood, white and natural fibers.
