Эту квартиру в центре Москвы мы с мужем купили в 1998 году. Квартира была небольшой, двухкомнатной и в жутком состоянии. Нам пришлось переделывать абсолют- но всё. У меня не было никакого представления о том, ка- ким будет дизайн. Я только хотела, чтобы и отделка, и ме- бель были светлых натуральных тонов, а весь интерьер по- строен на игре света. Дом из песка с элементами хай-тека, уют и металл, тепло и холод. Пол мы сделали из дуба. По- том выбрали краску для стен - кварцевую. Она состоит в основном из песка, и её, как правило, используют для оформления фасадов зданий. После мы купили кровать фирмы Ligne Roset. Поскольку долгое время другой мебели в квартире не было, она выполняла роль и обеденного сто- ла, и рабочего - на ней стоял компьютер, а также роль ла-
вочки, так как сидеть было больше негде. Собственно, по- сле появления кровати у нас впервые возникла идея о де- коре в японском стиле. Шторы на окнах мы сделали из ткани, напоминающей натуральный лён. Купили посуду с японским рисунком. На пол в коридор и ванную мы поло- жили плетёные коврики из джута. Ремонт был сделан в ре- кордные сроки - всего за полтора месяца, очень уж хоте- лось поскорее въехать в новый дом. Здесь особенно краси- во весной и летом в солнечный день - свет играет на стек- лянных дверцах кухни, полупрозрачной двери ванной.
