Bali

An apartment in a new building: a kitchen-living room with a dining area, a bedroom with access to a loggia, a hallway and a bathroom. The task was to create a light, calm interior with character and well-thought-out storage, in which the small area doesn't feel cramped.

The starting point of the interior is Bali: its greenery, warm light and unhurried rhythm of life, translated into the language of a city apartment. The main recurring device is painted ceilings with cornices: light sage in the shared zone, deep olive in the bedroom, brought down onto the walls as a frieze. The creamy walls in places received a hand-textured relief plaster that references island architecture. The Balinese mood is set by natural materials: oak, rattan, Vienna cane weaving, jute, travertine and terrazzo.

About the project

The center of the zone — a sage velvet sofa on a wooden base and a striped jute rug. The TV wall is highlighted with relief plaster. Nearby stand a solid oak cabinet with brass handles and a coffee table with a terrazzo-look top on wooden ball supports.

A sage floor lamp, a glossy side table and a green-toned abstract piece pull the palette together, while large plants enliven the corner by the window.

Lounge area

A linear kitchen with light oak fronts, a terrazzo-look countertop and a backsplash of glossy green hand-textured tile. It's complemented by a copper faucet, a black cylindrical hood and an open shelf with lighting. A tall column with a built-in refrigerator runs up to the ceiling, and the green cornice continues along its top. The dining area by the window includes a round wooden table on cylindrical supports, chairs with woven backs and a chandelier of linen "petals." Nearby, in an arched niche with palm grisaille wallpaper, there is a coffee zone with an oak cabinet and a stone countertop.

Kitchen

Bedroom

The olive ceiling comes down onto the walls as a frieze and visually "wraps" the room. The headboard is highlighted with sculptural plaster with organic lines and circles; above the bed in olive bouclé hang wavy rattan lights. A powder-toned storage system with wooden handles combines a wall cabinet and a nightstand. By the window with a Roman blind in a monkeys-and-pomegranates print sit a wall-mounted console, an arched mirror in a frame of wooden beads and a green velvet armchair.

The lower part of the walls is laid with vertical relief tile in a green-and-white stripe, the upper part left creamy. Here stands a wall-mounted sage cabinet with stone handles and a travertine basin, above it a mirror in a wavy wooden frame between sconces in travertine rings. The shower is separated by glass in a brass profile, the floor is laid in a wood-look "French herringbone," and storage is hidden in built-in creamy cabinets.

Client review

Every morning I wake up and can't believe this is my apartment! It's as if I've returned to Bali, only now for good. The green ceilings I was so afraid of are the best thing that happened to us. Thank you for listening and making it even better than I dreamed!

Bathroom

The corridor with a terrazzo-look floor holds floor-to-ceiling gray-olive cabinets and a hidden door in the relief-plaster wall. A mirror at the end extends the perspective into the living room. By the entrance stand a dark-wood console and a rattan arched mirror with hooks.
