Maida Vale Apartment in Photos: A Visual Journey Tucked away in the serene enclave of Maida Vale, London, lies an apartment that stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of eclectic modern design and traditional elegance, masterfully brought to life by Jolanta Cajzer of Studio 212. This transformative journey from a conventional space to a breathtaking interior is vividly captured through the lens of the acclaimed photographer, Tom Kurek, and further accentuated by the vibrant artworks of Kris Cieslak. The apartment's architectural canvas showcases tall ceilings and a layout that features two cozy bedrooms alongside a lively, light-infused living room. The design ethos, carefully curated by Jolanta Cajzer, revolves around the infusion of bright colors and the strategic placement of mirrors. This thoughtful combination not only magnifies the sense of space but also bathes the apartment in a natural light that highlights the meticulous attention to detail in every corner. Furniture selections strike a perfect harmony between the vivacity of modern styles and the grace of classic elegance. Artworks in bold hues stand in conversation with timeless timber and leather, creating a rich tapestry of textures and styles. The inclusion of soft, plush furnishings, characterized by their modern lines and chic curves, adds a layer of comfort and contemporary flair, inviting residents and guests alike into a warm embrace of stylish living. Central to the living space, Kris Cieslak's artworks emerge as focal points of colour and emotion, bridging the gap between the tangible and the imaginative. Featured prominently in both the living room and bedroom, these paintings inject a dynamic vibrancy into the apartment, mirroring the life and energy of Maida Vale itself. The art pieces not only complement the interior design but also narrate a story of inspiration and creativity, making the apartment a living gallery of modern artistry. Photographed with an eye for detail and a sense of spatial harmony, Tom Kurek's images capture the essence of the Maida Vale apartment. Each photograph is a window into a world where design, art, and light converge to create an ambience that is both visually stunning and deeply comforting. This Maida Vale apartment is more than just a living space; it's a showcase of how contemporary design, when intertwined with artistic expression and captured through skilled photography, can create a home that is both a sanctuary and a source of inspiration. It stands as a beacon of style, functionality, and artistic collaboration, offering a warm welcome to all who enter.

Французское настроение и мотивы шинуазри: семейная квартира
Французское настроение и мотивы шинуазри: семейная квартира
Студия дизайна Елены и Ярослава АлдошиныхСтудия дизайна Елены и Ярослава Алдошиных
Из исходных данный у нас было, отделённое монолитной стеной, пространство кухни, зона спальни с большой светлой лоджией и панорамными окнами, дающими хорошее естественное освещение и общий санузел, который мы разделили на два. И довольно обширная зона с двумя окнами посередине квартиры, которая и представляла основную загвоздку. Из этого пространства нам нужно было создать, по заданию заказчиков, две вместительные детские комнаты и из оставшегося пространство создать холл-гостиную. Так же рядом со входом в квартиру необходимо было расположить гардеробную комнату. Исходя из этих условия мы и провели всю перепланировку. Главная идея проекта - создать лёгкий и светлый интерьер с настроением французской современной квартиры, артистическими азиатскими деталями и цветными пятнами. Спроектировать традиционное пространство на основе классических элементов, наполнив его азиатскими нотками, которые очень любят владельцы, ведь Азия - их излюбленное направление для путешествий, хоть в душе, по характеру и стилю жизни они «утончённые европейцы». Гостиная - светлое обволакивающее пространство с обтекаемой элегантной мебелью, и графичными тёмными линиями декора и подвесного светильника, перекликающихся с росчерками искусства. Монотонное умиротворяюще пространство, где по вечерам собирается семья. Здесь мы отдали предпочтение контрасту фактур рыхлого текстиля мебели и гладких поверхностей. В спальне мы создали более экстравагантную атмосферу. Внесли на чистую классическую основу штрихи азиатского колорита, который так любят владельцы. Ширму-изголовье кровати украшает ручная роспись на шёлке по мотивам шинуазри, а подвесные светильники в изголовье кровати напоминают завитки иероглифов. Кухня так же имеет восточные элементы. Светильники авторства Alexis Dornier, изготовленные ограниченным тиражом из переработанной рисовой бумаги, расположенные над столом, мы собственноручно привезли с острова Бали в чемодане. Чего не сделаешь для любимых заказчиков! Кухонная мебель выполнена в двух оттенках - коралловом и ментоловом. Массивный тёмный стол и граничные силуэты стульев задают ритм, создают контраст и продолжают тему, заданную в гостиной. Так же в квартире расположены два санузла - ванная комната и душевая. Ванная комната «для девочек» декорирована мрамором и выполнена в нежных пудровых оттенках. Санузел для главы семейства - яркий, а душевая напоминает открытый балийский душ в тропических зарослях. Детские комнаты для двух девочек тоже спроектированы в нежных оттенках, имеют много места для хранения и письменные столы для занятий и кровати, изголовье которых расположено в нише, для создания ощущения защищённости и комфорта. Подвесные светильники авторства ONG CEN KUANG, созданные из текстильных молний для одежды мы так же привезли сами для заказчиков с острова Бали. Цветовая палитра проекта разнообразна, но в то же время отчасти сдержана. Нам хотелось добавить цветовые акценты, создать радостный, сочный интерьер, так подходящий по темпераменту заказчикам. Мы использовали несколько цветовых схем, но в тоже время собирая пространство воедино, с помощью нейтральных фоновых оттенков стен во всех комнатах, это хорошая основа для воплощения любого интерьера и соединения всех пространств в единый образ. В гостевом санузле мы позволили себе шалость и покрасили стены в глубокий оттенок зелени. Далее через время и исходя из своих ощущений, меняющихся с течением жизни, заказчики смогут изменять настроение интерьера заменяя искусство в интерьере, текстиль и некоторые предметы, для этого мы намеренно оставили такую возможность. Во всей квартире мы используем приточно-вытяжную вентиляцию и кондиционирования. На наш взгляд это очень важно с точки зрения здоровья и комфорта жильцов. Так же в кухне мы отказались от навесной верхней вытяжки, использую варочную поверхность Elica NIKOLATESLA со встроенной в неё вытяжкой, это визуально облегчает композицию, убирая верхние шкафы. Как мы рассказывали ранее, 5 светильников для наших заказчиков мы привезли с острова Бали. Мы очень сдружились со всем семейством и нам захотелось привнести что-то необычное и эксклюзивное в интерьер. Поэтому находясь в командировке на другом нашем Балийском объекте, мы выделили несколько дней на поиски и подобрали для интерьера эти классные предметы с другого конца света, которые в итоге еле-еле поместились в огромный чемодан и были заботливо доставлены нами собственноручно в Москву.

Stephanie James: “Understanding the client’s style preferences, we sought out timeless pieces that also offered a little bling. The room is open to multiple dining and living spaces and the scale of the furnishings by Chaddock, Ambella, Wesley Hall and Mr. Brown and lighting by John Richards and Visual Comfort were very important. The living room area with its vaulted ceilings created a need for dramatic fixtures and furnishings to complement the scale. The mixture of textiles and leather offer comfortable seating options whether for a family gathering or an intimate evening with a book.” Photographer: Michael Blevins Photo

White Formal Living Room Ideas and Designs

Looking for living room ideas? Whether your living room is lacklustre, your lounge is limited in space, your sitting room is suffering from outdated decor or your front room is full of clutter, there are living room ideas and designs that will inspire you to breathe life into your living space. Discover small living room ideas to help maximise tiny spaces or layout ideas that will work with awkward shaped living rooms. Perhaps you’re struggling to decide on living room colours? Read on for help with colours, layout and design ideas, or find inspiration from the millions of living room photos on Houzz.

Living room wallpaper ideas

A good place to start when it comes to redesigning your living room is with the walls. While paint may seem the simplest choice, and easy to change, don’t discredit the design opportunities of wallpaper in living rooms. There are tons of great living room wallpaper ideas, from modern geometric patterns to traditional florals, and loads of ways to use them – you don’t have to cover the whole room or go for the ubiquitous feature wall. You could wallpaper only above the dado rail (if you have one), either side of a chimney breast, or behind a shelving unit to give your displayed items a stylish backdrop. Discover more living room wallpaper ideas or if paint is more your style, there’s plenty of living room designs to discover when it comes to paint ideas; just browse through the huge selection of living photos and search for the specific paint you’re after if you really want to narrow it down.

Small living room ideas

When it comes to our living room design, we want it to feel as welcoming and personality-filled as possible, but that can be a struggle when we’re working with a small space. But not to fear, there are small living room ideas to help you make most out of what you’re working with. A couple of small living room ideas can include: working with the height you have – installing floor-to-ceiling bookshelves or drawing the eye to the top of the walls with wallpaper; choosing space-saving or storage-incorporating (or both!) furniture, such as corner sofas with storage space under the chaise longue section; and keeping things symmetrical – a central fireplace with seating opposite, or seats facing each other, can give the illusion of a larger, more grand room. When it comes to the best decor for small living rooms, you can either choose to keep things light and airy to open up the space, or embrace the cosiness of the smaller area you have by going for warm colours and filling the room with your favourite accessories.

Living room layouts and choosing the right living room furniture

When it comes to the layout of your living room, it will depend on what pieces of furniture you have – but how do you choose what living room furniture to add, whether you’re refreshing your living room design or starting from scratch? The best place to start is with the seating – one corner sofa will usually seat three to four people, and if that’s all you think you’ll need, then you can leave it at that. Placing your sofa along the longest wall helps to make the most of the space, but think about where you want the focus of the room to be, too. If you need more seating, look at armchairs that offer comfort but don’t take up too much space – cramming a room with too many large armchairs is something to avoid. But armchairs and sofas don’t have to be your only options – go for bean bags and floor cushions for an eclectic feel, pouffes and ottomans if you’re more traditional, and smart design chairs for contemporary living room ideas. Coffee tables are always handy, but you can always add a couple of side tables if you don’t want to clutter the central space in front of seating with anything. If you centre your living room design around a fireplace or TV, then you might want storage and shelving to feature around the focus of your room. There are plenty of style options when it comes to TV units, and you can even go for bespoke living room storage units to make the most of the space if you want a sleek, built-in look. Keep reading below for more living room storage ideas. Discover a huge range of living room furniture, as well as living room accessories, to help you finish your room design.

Living room design ideas

Struggling with what living room colours to choose, or what style to go with? While a grey living room design is popular at the moment, you might not want to go with the ubiquitous colour. Although, if neutral and contemporary are the living room ideas you’re after, a grey sofa or grey walls will give you a good base to work on. If you want to stay neutral, beige is not your only other option, either. Light yellows, taupes and soft greys will work. Why not try adding simple but plush cushions to your sofa and a rug in these colours to achieve a modern-traditional look? For contemporary living room ideas, dark blues and greens are on trend, but if you don’t want to dive straight into the dark wall trend, you could opt for a couple of pieces of furniture, or go for dark-hued living room accessories instead. Whites, woods and pastels could work well for Scandinavian living room designs. If an eclectic living room is what you’re after, you could go for large print wallpaper, a statement lighting piece, vibrant rug and lots of colourful book or ornament displays. For a country feel, rustic carpet, stone hearths, comfy armchairs and traditional patterns in creams, greens and browns will give you that cosy cottage feel.

Living room storage ideas

It’s natural that our living rooms tend to attract lots of items and belongings seeing as they act as multipurpose living spaces. Whether you love to read a book; watch a film; let your children play with their toys; practise a craft like knitting or drawing; play a musical instrument or play video games in your sitting room, there will always be a need for a few extra living room ideas that can help you with storage. Apart from the standard bookcases, side tables and TV units, there are a few other handy living room storage ideas you can invest in. As mentioned before, if you have the room and budget for it, a built-in storage unit could be the way forward. With a well-built unit you could hide your TV, DVDs, players, books, video consoles and all sorts away in one place. If you don’t quite have a large enough area for one, you could look at shelving – either side of the chimney breast is a great place to install shelving if you have one in your living room. And don’t forget living room furniture such as sofas, benches and ottomans that lift up to reveal hidden storage; providing seating and storing space at the same time. With the right storage solutions your living room design could open up and feel so much more spacious and stylish. Discover more living room storage ideas by browsing these photos. Once you have your living room storage, colours, design, layout and furniture sorted, all that’s left is to browse the millions of living room ideas on Houzz and save your favourites to an ideabook.
