A purple cooker hood in the kitchen and several flowered tiles in the bathroom may be risky choices. But not when you live in Saint Petersburg, the city of fancy tastes and imposing castles.
Spotted on www.the-village.ru, the apartment we present you below is perfect for a young girl who loves serenades, ballet shows and Chekhov’s plays. In a nutshell, there is a lot going on in girls’ apartments. Shabby chic is the style they prefer most of the time for its floral patterns, light colors, shinning covers (silver or gold), curved lines and vintage pieces of furniture. Space is always a problem if you admit the ‘crazy shopper’ component of any woman. Irene, the owner of this apartment wanted to create airy rooms and expanded the kitchen in the living room although that meant to sacrifice part of the bedroom. Despite the limited space, she wanted a bed, not a sofa and decided to raise it up almost a meter, while the space underneath became perfect for storing. In the bathroom, the vertical cabinet near the mirror serves for storing, but also for hiding the pipes. Have a look and let us know if you enjoyed the project!
