A few years ago, theater and film actress Elena Yakovleva became the owner of her own summer house, which she had long dreamed of. People's artist loves her country house, located in the near Moscow region. Here she spends almost all her free time from acting, together with her husband Valery Shalnykh. The house of Elena Yakovleva is distinguished by originality, warmth and a cozy atmosphere.
Kitchen and porch
The couple engaged in the construction of a summer house near Moscow, but a specific project was not conceived. By the end of the construction, it became clear that the kitchen and living room were not well planned, serious mistakes were made. For example, a staircase to the second floor blocked the kitchen, and the veranda was hardly used. The family failed to eliminate the defects with their own hands, so Elena and Valery turned to the Ideal Repair program for professional help.
Previously, the interior of the rooms did not have a clear style, but now it is an original, cozy and properly planned eco-space. The architects of the TV show developed an unusual project for the couple: they partially glazed the veranda, removed the wall separating this room from the living room, and moved the stairs. To prevent the cold of winter in the house due to the large number of glazed partitions, the program experts installed high-tech heating windows on the veranda, the double-glazed windows of which are equipped with electric heating.
Also, designers repainted the walls in pistachio color. An interior with such a color scheme does not look corny. Yakovleva herself dreamed about this shade, when the construction of the house was just beginning, but she could not find the right tone for the paint. And the design specialists from Ideal Repair easily coped with this.
The pistachio hue also has an electric fireplace with imitation of 3D flame. Green color is supported by indoor plants in tubs, bouquets and ceramic dishes. Textiles in a rustic style also look very harmonious: a small floral pattern on the curtains goes well with the color of the walls and is ideal for a summer residence.
The TV set decided to leave the kitchen set located along the wall, they only slightly restored the doors and accessories, and also added a table, an additional kitchen module and a shelving unit. All new furniture is made from natural materials and decorated in an eco-style.
There is also a transforming sofa with pillows, a TV with a mirror surface and antique-style lamps. The ceiling is decorated with an original chandelier, whose plafonds overlap with the kitchen furniture handles - they are patinated with old copper.
In a short period of time, a team of professionals created a summer residence for the artist, which is cozy, bright and calm.
