Dramatic, contemporary, functional, and reserved. These are the words that describe this distinctive home by Denis Svirid, that exudes luxury but remains subtle, modest, and accessible. Nothing says dramatic like long, draped pleated curtains flowing from a high ceiling. This is operatic theater at its best. This home pulls it off with minimal fuss in full dynamic effect.
The decorative drama begins in the living room with structured furniture like winged-back chairs, two-seater sofa, decorative accent rug, table lamps, coffee table, and various other accents and lighting. The design layout has a 90s feel to it.
The 90s launched a period of minimalism using beige and white hues. Nonchalantly patterns were introduced creating a much-loved aesthetic appeal. Color was brought forth in various materials like damask. The need for color was not prominent, but patterns definitely were. In this residence geometric straightforward patterns are utilized such as striped upholstered chairs and an accent rug with diamond shapes. It’s easy, cool, and reflective.
Additionally, if you prefer a burst of color, you won’t find it in this home, it’s not designed for flash. The comfort level is more important than fancy patterns and distracting colors.
There is a small bit of exposed brick in the living room area, which is reminiscent of the 70s. Interestingly, this home manages to strikingly combine various eras flawlessly with the least amount of fuss.
Recessed lighting adds another modernistic touch to the space. In addition, the kitchen floor is embellished with stunning tiles, beautifully laid in a unique pattern rarely seen in most homes. The rustic style cabinets work well with the modernistic floor design, portraying a traditional feel with modernistic overtones.
Throughout the home, the contemporary ambiance coupled with easy style is apparent. Even the bathroom is equipped with the most up-to-date features, but manages to remain functional and practical. It’s rather bland; however, the materials used are the best quality tiles, marble, and porcelain. In fact, this bathroom fits the ideal of cool and stylish very well. The emphasis is put on angular lines and minimal ornamentation. Perhaps the influence is taken from Scandinavian style, which emphasizes reductivism, simplicity, and functionality.
Wall space is used sparingly with photographs that appear to be either historical or current. Paned glass windows, suspended lighting, slanted walls, and convenient work areas, are amalgamated with comfort and quality with an awesome effect. There’s plenty going on, but the surrounding is easy to cognize.
Though modern design is not barren or without allure, it is not overly cluttered or beautified. Decorative accents are kept to a minimum, with each separate piece joining together as one. If anything, the distinctive visual aspects of this home prove that minimalism, quality, and style can work easily together when you have exquisite taste and originality.
