Stunning natural stone elements and rich brown accents construct a luxurious 210 square metre apartment interior, located in St. Petersburg, Russia. Designed by Chub Architects, this is a space that’s set to wow all who visit with its unabashed use of expensive materials and its free flowing layout. Wood slatted room dividers and window shutters instil a transparency into the home that hardly wavers. Almost every area is viewable by another, whether that be a stylish ensuite bathroom, a lavish dressing room, or an open ended modern kitchen design. Get the full lowdown with the detailed floor plan at the end of the apartment tour.

On a smaller scale, unique salt and pepper shakers seem to mirror the side by side arrangement of the vertical pendants. Nothing else complicates a stunning white and grey marble wall, which is more like a piece of art than a backsplash.
In the master suite, a cognac headboard warmly disrupts an all white bedroom scheme. The black bedroom pendant lights that flank each side of the platform bed are a smaller take on the cone pendants used in the dining area. Ribbed white wall panelling harks back to the living room’s TV wall too. The homogeneity of silhouette and textures create one fluid mood throughout the home.
