While minimalism may be the trendiest height of style, there is certainly something to be said for interiors that take a different tack. It turns out, you don't have to choose just one or two pieces of art or even a single sofa to create a stylish, luxurious interior. This luxury home in Moscow, from the architects at Shamsudin Kerimov, clean lines are still in use but minimalism is nowhere to be found. Instead, elaborate columns, sweeping light fixtures, and plush, decadent furnishings make up this gorgeous home. The resulting home feels like the type of luxury you would see in the movies or on a soap opera, ready for a dramatic argument to break out at any time.
