The story of this project began with a fireplace bought in an antique shop. Vintage armchairs and chandeliers, Dutch stove tiles, a custom-made staircase and old engravings on a marine theme were added to the fireplace – that is, the entire furnishings of the apartment.

In addition to the Higher School of Economics, obtaining a master’s degree in project management, Ekaterina Yakovenko received an education in London – Saint Martin’s University. Therefore, she was not at all surprised when the client told her about his desire to decorate an apartment of 37 m² in a classic style.

In the chocolate-brown palette, bright blue and white accents of individual items stand out: pillows, tiles in the bathroom, interior lining of the fireplace and English porcelain service – all this favorably emphasizes the noble combination of colors.
The interior and atmosphere of the apartment convey the feeling of being on a ship, about to set sail for distant shores.
