Paradise found

Nataly Bolshakova, the founder and head of the studio Bolshakova Interiors, together with her team designed her first house located near Kyiv.

In the living room, the designers used the sophisticated furniture from Poliform while the straight lines highlight the elegant lighting created by Penta. The key point of the room is the fireplace that allows spectacular views from the windows and a connection with the street. The TV area is an extra element that was easily incorporated into the whole project. Another gem in this room was the lamps created by Nataly Bolshakova that combine elegance and functionality. A stable marble base flows into a beautifully designed brass rod; the same material was used in the decoration of the lampshade, creating some eye-catching contrasts.

“Lighting is one of the main components when creating the perfect interior. The source of the light should be a visually beautiful design, which compliments the rest of the decor.”

From the living room you can glimpse an elegant dining area: here an artwork by Hermès creates the right contrast with the Poliform furniture in soft colors. Regarding to the kitchen, the customer specifically requested a zone that was spacious with no narrow passages since, at the weekend, the whole family spends a lot of time here. The designers, also, allocated a separate area for cooking overlooking the beautiful landscape that can be seen from the window. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary functional solutions, and the stand made of natural quartzite rises into the air, emphasizing the panels on the floor to which the drawings of children are transferred. The bathroom on the ground floor reflects the mood of the entire level and is constructed in contrasting shades. The combination of glass and tiles under the natural stone of Ardesia and wood creates an elegant impression. All this was accompanied by the quality plumbing system by the Italian brand Cielo.

A large wooden staircase leads to the 2 nd floor where there is the sleeping area consisting of 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. In addition, a splendid chandelier by Flos has been placed in the stairwell, which visually connects the two floors. In the master bedroom, the focal point is the view outside the window and was the basis on which the whole house was designed.

The overall colour scheme is maintained with a discreetly designed Poliform bed with bright edging. The main concept of the bathrooms on the 2 nd floor is that mirrors don’t appear above the wash basins to be able to admire the natural beauty outside the window. The master bathroom is constructed from “Sahara Noir” Italian marble and porcelain stoneware from Ardesia.

Two children's rooms are based on ideas generated by the children themselves: all the colours, finishes and decor were chosen by them. Children have different ideas and needs, so naturally their rooms are different. In the first room, special attention was paid to textures and finishes, resulting in a bright, cheerful space.

In other room more delicate shades like the wallpaper from Hermes were utilised. Here, the shelves were constructed using the Dutch studio Moooi’s innovative “watching us animals” designs. The bathroom is a vivid embodiment of what could be described as versatile conciseness. Bright wallpaper from the Italian factory Glamora and plumbing by Cielo complete the project.
