They say that you should dress for the job you want. But that doesn't just mean your clothes. The place you live should also be a reflection of your ambitions, passions, and dreams. In this post, we're featuring a design concept from designer Denis Krasikov for the editor of Russia's biggest gaming magazine. The design is hip, youthful, and a little bit dark, perfect for someone in an industry that values trends and masculinity so highly.
The space is certainly not huge, but the way it is organized is keeps the distinct areas separate with a small living room/entertainment area (perfect for gaming) nestled in next to a home office, ideal for those late nights working with a deadline looming. Of course, the corner desk with a sleek task chair is also perfect for PC gaming.
Away from the work area is the kitchen and another sofa, this one without a television. This way, the occupant can easily separate work from relaxation, business from pleasure. The sliding paneling that runs between the kitchen and sofa has a bit of edge to it while still serving its purpose well.
The bedroom is unmistakably masculine, using a dark gray color palette to make everything feel private and relaxing. The abstract painting over the headboard gives just enough color while the fabric-colored light fixtures are sure to emit only the most flattering tones.
The accessories and details throughout the house give it a distinct personality. While hipster-inspired begins to describe it - faux mounted animal heads, for instance - it is a bit more eclectic than that. The tiled backsplash in the kitchen has a bit of country chic sensibility while the polka dot shower curtain and asymmetrical tiling on the bathroom floor offer their own playful whimsy.
