This project, located in a modern residential complex in Moscow, beautifully combines classic interior elements with modern accents, creating a timeless fusion style. Designed by Varvara Kalitskaya for a young family with a child, the apartment showcases a blend of European influences with contemporary touches, ensuring that the space remains both elegant and current.
The clients, avid travelers with a love for France, wanted a home that reflected their appreciation for tradition and classic design while integrating modern elements. The result is a sophisticated apartment where classic architecture meets modern functionality, creating a space that feels lived-in and timeless.
Living Room: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity
The living room features classic design elements like decorative molding on the ceiling, columns that emphasize the room’s height, and walls finished with plaster that mimics antique fabric. However, modern touches are seamlessly integrated into the space. A standout piece is the coffee table, which was repurposed from an antique trunk, offering both style and storage for the family’s vinyl record collection.
Key Features:
- Classic architectural details such as moldings and columns
- Neutral color palette focusing on energy and ambiance
- Mix of contemporary and antique furniture, sourced from Italy and custom-made in Russia
Kitchen: Compact Yet Functional
Despite its small size, the kitchen is fully functional, with floor-to-ceiling cabinets providing ample storage. The cabinetry is designed to blend seamlessly with the walls, minimizing visual clutter and maintaining the room’s clean lines. Above the refrigerator, a custom wine rack designed by the architect adds both functionality and charm.
Design Highlights:
- Integrated storage solutions that maximize space
- Custom wine rack showcasing the family’s collection
- Consistent design theme throughout cabinetry and wall finishes
Children’s Room: A Whimsical Space with Timeless Appeal
The daughter’s bedroom features a playful yet elegant design, with a slightly more vibrant color palette than the rest of the apartment. The curtains match the wallpaper pattern, creating a cohesive and enchanting environment reminiscent of a fairy-tale forest. The flooring, although crafted from modern materials, emulates the look of aged wood, adding to the room’s timeless charm.
Features:
- Coordinated curtains and wallpaper with a whimsical floral pattern
- Classic design elements like cornices and moldings
- Flooring designed to mimic the appearance of vintage wood
Bathrooms and Hallway: Subtle Luxury
The apartment includes two bathrooms—a guest bathroom and a master bathroom—where the design cleverly hides the laundry area behind wall panels, maintaining a clean and luxurious feel. In the hallway, all cabinets are built into the walls, with their doors accentuating the ceiling height. The flooring features tiles that resemble granite cobblestones, evoking the charm of European streets.
Notable Details:
- Hidden laundry area in the bathrooms
- Built-in hallway cabinets that emphasize vertical space
- Granite-like tiles in the hallway, adding a touch of European flair

Dining Area: A Harmonious Blend of Old and New
The dining area, situated near a bay window, is a perfect example of how the designer balanced modern and classic elements. Two decorative columns were added to the existing structural columns, creating a symmetrical and visually balanced space. The columns not only frame the dining area but also subtly separate it from the rest of the living space, adding a sense of formality without making it feel closed off.
Design Features:
- Symmetrical columns that enhance the room’s architectural integrity
- A bay window that floods the dining area with natural light
- Elegant furnishings that complement the classic design

The master bedroom continues the theme of understated luxury with a focus on comfort and tranquility. The color palette remains neutral, with soft pastels and warm tones creating a serene atmosphere. The furniture is a mix of classic and modern pieces, all chosen for their timeless appeal. Decorative molding and custom-designed ventilation grilles add a touch of sophistication to the room.
