Like in Art or in Literature, Modern and Classic each have their supporter in Decoration. But unless the other arts, with decoration you can match both of them in one same room. Surprising results guaranteed...

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.
