Architect Margarita Shatkova has designed an elegant interior for a spacious Moscow apartment spanning 260 square meters. The apartment features a shared living area with a separate kitchen, a home office, and several private rooms. The circular layout facilitates a seamless flow throughout the space, allowing residents to move seamlessly from the entrance, with its well-appointed wardrobe, into the living room. From there, a wide corridor leads to the bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom complete with an adjoining sauna. A large utility block, with a concealed laundry room, ensures the visual purity of the design is maintained.
Graphic partitions with precise framing add dynamism to the space, allowing sunlight to pass through while maintaining an airy atmosphere. At the heart of the apartment is a grand living room, where unique Laura Meroni Bamboo wall panels serve as a striking focal point. The burgundy accents of these panels harmonize with the intricate pattern of the Giorgetti carpet, which ties together the palette of the entire interior. A calm color scheme highlights the tall British Fires New Forest electric fireplace, featuring a sculptural portal with its base clad in natural marble and an upper section finished in light wood. This centerpiece is complemented by a marble dining table from Draenert, which rests on a sculptural base, while the chairs, upholstered in gray-beige leather, echo the tones of the sofa and curtains.
Special attention is given to lighting, where Margarita Shatkova skillfully combines technical and decorative elements. The interior’s standout features include accent dimmable lights and elegant semi-transparent pendants, adding layers of sophistication to the space.
The kitchen is outfitted with premium German Leicht cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances, ensuring that culinary tasks are carried out with ease and precision—a priority for the clients.
The bedrooms are enveloped in soothing shades of gray and brown, creating a serene environment conducive to relaxation and restful sleep. In the master suite, minimalist painted walls are enlivened by natural wood panels, which define the passage to the bathroom, hidden behind a partition with smart glass. This innovative feature allows the owners to adjust the opacity for added privacy. The bathroom is furnished with Antonio Lupi pieces that incorporate wooden elements, while an adjoining Finnish sauna extends the theme of natural materials throughout the interior.
The second bedroom and bathroom are similarly connected by a sliding glass partition, allowing residents to enjoy the view from the freestanding bathtub.
The guest bathroom is distinguished by a striking red marble finish on half of the walls, providing a bold backdrop that enhances the sleek black fixtures and faucets. A Delta Light fixture casts a bright glow over the sink, further emphasizing the room’s sophisticated aesthetic.
In the home office, muted gray tones create an enveloping atmosphere, offering a tranquil space for work or contemplation. A plush rug underfoot and art posters from Trowbridge Gallery add warmth and character, making it an ideal retreat for indulging in dreams or losing oneself in captivating literature.
A harmonious and comfortable living interior is achieved through meticulous planning, quality lighting, and the thoughtful selection of design and art pieces
