A 140sqm apartment with a blend of contemporary and classic decor
This 140sqm apartment designed by Anna Zueva is a chic and bold interior featuring classic moldings, colors, and furniture
This 140sqm apartment is located in a recently built building near a famous artists’ village. The owners entrusted the project to interior designer Anna Zueva, who designed it for this family of three. She created a space where each room has its own distinct character.
The interior exudes a masterful eclecticism, blending contemporary moldings with cutting-edge designer furniture. The client, who is passionate about art and art history, actively inspired this creative vision. She wanted a unique interior, unafraid to experiment. Anna Zueva successfully transformed this vision into a cohesive design.
The entryway immediately reveals the apartment’s character. The walls feature a hand-painted gradient of colors. Its custom-cut porcelain tile floor forms a unique graphic pattern. A fringed curtain adorns the walk-in closet door, much like a theater stage.
The living room combines a BoConcept corner sofa in anthracite gray velvet with mismatched seating. A B&B Italia armchair sits alongside dining chairs by Calligaris. The Reflex coffee table, designed by Tulczinsky Design, is placed in the dining area. A Pearls Black rug by Nani Marquina adds texture to the floor.
The ceiling deserves special attention. A decorative Crossroad light fixture by Bonaldo hangs above the sofa. A Gravity floor lamp by GUBI and a Flos wall sconce complete the ambient lighting. The custom plaster moldings were crafted by Aurora.
A TV stand resting on brass legs rounds out the furnishings. It visually extends the countertop of the adjacent kitchen.
The kitchen is made of dark walnut wood, with solid, understated cabinet fronts. The porcelain stoneware countertop seems to literally wrap around a structural column. This solution transforms an architectural constraint into a decorative asset. It’s a particularly successful design choice.
A pantry concealed behind a molded door houses a freezer, a wine cooler, the boiler, and a coffee machine. Its door is painted to match the wall color to avoid any visual disruption. This attention to detail reflects an extreme commitment to high-quality finishes.
The designer’s favorite room combines deep sage green walls with a terracotta-colored WOHL Design sofa. A BoConcept desk, accompanied by decorative cushions that match the sofa, occupies the space under the window. A tapestry titled “Parrot in a Cage” adorns the main wall.
One side table and a decorative light fixture complete this multifunctional room. Anna Zueva describes it as stylish and dynamic, in contrast to the neighboring bedroom, which is more sensual.
The master bedroom features very dark khaki-green walls. A bas-relief evokes the surface of moving water. The ceiling moldings extend this composition, like ripples spreading out from the central light fixture. It is a truly exceptional place to rest.
.A bench and bedside tables flank the bed. The Contardi Stardust Small floor lamp, designed by Maurizio Di Mauro and Marcello Colli, casts a soft light. Two works by Sasha Gorelikov and Alexey Nikolsky, both from the Carré d’artistes gallery, complete this ambiance. This bedroom demonstrates that a dark interior can still be deeply welcoming.
The daughter’s bedroom functions as a true studio. It combines a sleeping area, a workspace, a walk-in closet, and a vanity all within the same space. A glass brick wall delicately separates the workspace from the rest of the room.
The Vertigo pendant light, designed by the French studio Petite Friture, immediately catches the eye. Its sleek, graphic black silhouette stands out as the room’s centerpiece. A wall sconce from the Danish studio AUDO and track lighting round out the lighting scheme. It’s a teenage girl’s bedroom that’s both sophisticated and functional.
The first bathroom combines translucent glass bricks with emerald green tile. Pendant lights and track lighting provide illumination. A work by Yo, also from the Carré d’artistes gallery, adds a welcome artistic touch to this functional space.
The second bathroom surprises with its blue decorative plaster walls. A vintage French mirror, oval and weathered, adds a touch of history. Wallpaper by Wall & Deco and wall sconces complete this refined look. The custom-made shower enclosure discreetly encloses the space.
This apartment reflects a clear affinity for Western European design. The Vertigo light fixture, designed by Petite Friture, clearly embodies this influence. The vintage mirror in the guest bathroom extends this same aesthetic. Several Scandinavian and Italian pieces round out this eclectic selection. This openness to Western Europe enriches an interior already brimming with diverse influences, proof that beautiful design knows no borders.
Anna Zueva has created a project of great coherence here, despite the diversity of influences. The combination of contemporary moldings and Scandinavian, Italian, or French furniture works remarkably well.
Each room develops its own color identity, ranging from deep green to terracotta. This coherence within diversity is the true success of the project. Styling: Natasha Onufreichuk
