The armchairs and the curtain and sofa fabrics are all from Schumacher’s Timothy Corrigan Collection; the stools are vintage Jansen, and the carpet is a Corrigan design for Patterson Flynn Martin.

The heart of the Allegra Hicks’s Naples, Italy, apartment is a long, high-ceilinged room divided into living and dining areas, each anchored by carpets designed by Hicks. The designer also created the Roman-shade fabric, the cut velvet on the wood-framed Jindrich Halabala armchairs, and the butterfly-specimen table at right; an 18th-century Venetian mirror surmounts the mantel.

The evaluation criteria applied to the works of our designers are very high. All elements of the environment inside are selected so that the result is a whole harmonious composition, in which no object seems superfluous.
Much attention is paid to rational planning, space ergonomics, color and light design. Behind each of our private house interior projects is a huge amount of work on creating planning solutions, developing visualizations, choosing the right furniture and decor.

Design of houses and cottages
Design and layout of a private house
Design project of a private country house: main differences from the design of apartments
To create a design project for a private country house and a cottage, slightly different approaches are required, in contrast to apartments.
The designer must take into account the functionality of the space and provide for communication systems such as plumbing, heating, electricity and gas. The material from which the cottage is built also matters. But the most important difference is that the designer works not only on the interior, but also on the exterior of the house.
What does the design project of a cottage consist of (main stages of creation)
- At the first stage, specialists go to the site, carry out detailed measurements of all premises and draw up a plan of the house.
- Already in Minsk, the designer is developing several layout options, which include functional zoning and furniture arrangement.
- After choosing the layout, the designer develops a 3D project. With the help of three-dimensional models, it will be possible to visualize the future appearance of the house. At this stage, the customer can make changes: rearrange the furniture, change the color.
- When the layout is finally approved, the specialists begin to build drawings, which take into account the electrical wiring with all sockets and switches in the house.
- Further, the financial costs for the implementation of the design project are calculated and an estimate is made.
- The last stage is the implementation of the design project.
Features of interior design of country houses and cottages
Interior design of a country house and cottage should be in harmony with the exterior of the building and the land. Along with living rooms, all utility rooms are taken into account: laundry, storage room, attic. Unlike apartments in Minsk, in a private house, the rooms can have ceilings of different heights. In this case, it is better to organize a bedroom in a room with a low ceiling, and an office with a high one. In the design of country houses, elements such as a staircase, a fireplace room, a swimming pool, a sauna, and a garage may also appear.
Large house design
Design of large private houses from 100 sq.m.
The main features of the layout and design of houses of large areas
When developing a design for a country house 100-150 sq.
m. The main task of the designer is to rationally use the space: to evenly distribute the functionality and at the same time preserve the atmosphere of suburban freedom, even if the house is located in Minsk. One of the features of large areas is that when the living room, bedroom, nursery, kitchen, office are ready, there is still enough free space that needs to be used depending on the interests of the owners of the house. For example, in free premises, you can organize a billiard room, a fireplace room, a library, a gym, a home theater.
Zoning rules
In Minsk, designers distinguish two types of zoning: functional and communication. The first involves the division of space into separate functional areas, for example, a bedroom, a living room, a relaxation area. The second type of zoning is necessary to optimize distances, for example, between the kitchen and pantry, bedroom and bathroom. The advantage of houses of large areas is that it is easy to implement the principle of "one room - one zone" here.
Free planning in large country houses
Most often, when designing large country houses in Minsk, a kitchen is combined with a living room. So the house turns out to be a space where the whole family can be assembled. When choosing a free layout, do not forget about zoning. It can be made by a group of furniture, such as a sofa and a coffee table for watching TV, or a vertical partition, such as a bookcase. Zoning in this case will allow more rational use of space.
Design of a two-storey house
- When planning the design of a two-storey house, it is important to arrange the rooms correctly. So, on the first floor, auxiliary premises, a kitchen, a living room should be organized, but living rooms should be made on the second floor.
- A large house must have several bathrooms, at least one for each floor.
- If two families of different generations live in the house, then it is better to have living rooms for the elderly on the ground floor.
- The stairs in the house should be as convenient and safe as possible for all family members. It also needs natural light. If placed in a dining room or living room, it becomes an active part of the interior design and requires a specific design, in contrast to the location in the hallway or hallway.
Design of a three-story house
- The rules of planning and design of a three-story house are completely the same as the principles of arranging a two-story building. The only difference is the presence of another floor, which must be used rationally.
- On the third floor, it is best to organize additional rooms: a billiard room, a gym, a creative workshop.
Design of a house with an attic
- The attic (attic floor, the facade of which is formed by a sloping roof surface) is the most romantic place in the house. Beams and unusual geometry of space give a special charm to the room.
- If the building is one-story, then it is better to organize a bedroom on the attic floor.
But if the house has two floors, the attic is an ideal place for a creative workshop, study or room for a teenager. - When creating an attic design, it is worth remembering the presence of natural light. To do this, you need to choose special windows for sloping walls.
- As a rule, attic floors in Minsk are quite small. Therefore, when developing a design, emphasis should be placed on techniques that visually expand the space. For example, use light colors, transparent tables, white furniture.
Elite house design
- Classical style is a good solution for the interior design of an elite country house and cottage in Minsk. This direction is suitable for large areas, and also personifies well-being, demonstrating the wealth and luxurious taste of the owners of the house. Also, high status can be emphasized by such styles as hi-tech, modern, baroque, art deco. The choice depends only on the personal preferences of the customer.
- The design of an elite cottage does not tolerate fakes and compromises.
The interior should contain only natural and high quality materials, as well as exceptional decor items.
Design of a small house
Design of a one-storey house
- The main task in designing a small private house in Minsk is to make it as functional as possible and place all the necessary elements in a relatively small area. In such houses, several rooms should be combined into one integral space, for example, a kitchen with a living room and a study.
- If there are few square meters, it is best to use color transitions and furniture grouping when zoning. The construction of partitions in this case can "steal" the space.
Economy class house design
- To make a country house stylish and cozy, choose the right styles. An inexpensive design of a country house can be arranged, for example, using minimalism, which requires a minimum of furniture and decor. Old furniture will help to embody a vintage or retro style in the house, it only needs to be restored.
And in the decor of the Scandinavian style, you can use natural materials, like dry branches, leaves and others. - What you can save on: finishing, if the house is made of bricks and the quality of the masonry allows you to "bare" the wall. You can also save on decor. Why buy an expensive painting when you can decorate the walls with a child's drawings? Moreover, such elements bring a special homely warmth to the atmosphere.
- What you should not save on: the quality of materials. Purchase consumables only from trusted manufacturers, so repairs will look more expensive and last longer. Look for alternatives, for example, instead of laminate, you can put good linoleum "under the laminate."
- Buy ready-made furniture in company stores in Minsk. Furniture made to order will be somewhat more expensive. Just do not choose light, yellow and red shades - such furniture will visually look cheaper, unlike dark ones.
