Every day more and more people choose modern styles to decorate their apartments and houses. At the same time, we are not talking about a particularly urban or minimalist design, but about an original concept with a strong personality.

And this is not surprising, because today the trend is a modern interior with a “twist”: warm, cozy and a little eclectic. It is in this spirit that the Architectural Bureau “Paris Interiors” (Moscow) works, where unique projects are created in a modern style with a touch of French charm.
Apartment planning solution
In this review with a selection of real photos from the portfolio of the Parisian Interiors AB, whose founder and art director is the famous metropolitan designer Victoria Kharakhashyan, we will talk about the secrets of creating a modern apartment interior with a strong personality.

Pleasant to the eye pastel shades, accents of grass and red wine, elegant golden decor - the interior of a 4-room apartment on Prechistenka has a spring mood and a unique Parisian charm. Modern style goes well with original vintage accessories, and the decor looks extremely harmonious.
1.1. Expressive details
In the photo: Our project in the magazine “Beautiful Apartments” No. 179
The light walls of the apartment with imitation of classic boiserie panels became the ideal backdrop for expressive details: bright pieces of furniture, lamps and gold-colored accessories. And clear zoning made it possible to organize the space while maintaining visual space.
1.2. Fashion graphics

Author of the project: Victoria Kharakhashyan
Black and white photos in laconic frames, shelving with a strict geometric shape, dark legs of coffee tables - current graphics make the seating area trendy. And a respectable sage green sofa is the focal point in this corner.
1.3. Invisible kitchen

The interior of a modern Parisian kitchen does not attract attention, because the cabinet fronts look like stylish wall decoration. And to the fore comes a spectacular sofa in a rich wine color and a pair of designer armchairs upholstered in textiles with the iconic pied-de-poule pattern and light leather.
1.4. Spectacular contrast

Black on cream is a successful and very fashionable contrast, so it is not surprising that the dining set looks light and modern. And the painting and original pendants with golden disks add brightness to the dining area.
1.5. Bright accent
In the photo: Relaxation area with bright armchairs in a modern bedroom
In the interior of the bedroom in the photo, wallpaper with a clear geometric print, a laconic modern bed, an “aged” carpet with a fashionable vintage design and classic paintings coexist perfectly. The role of the main color accent went to an exclusive chair with original drapery. And the designer’s interior is completed by a coffee table-sculpture.
1.6. Lavender shades
In the photo: Bedroom for a girl in lilac tones
Delicate lilac shades in the design of a girl’s bedroom are reminiscent of the lavender fields of Provence and make the interior light and soulful. Powdery and sandy gray tones successfully complement the palette and enhance the feeling of a spring morning in the room. And the unique chandelier with unusual shades is reminiscent of the inflorescences of the luxurious Medinilla.
1.7. Aristocratic "company"
In the photo: A corridor in a modern style with a console and bright poufs
A console with golden legs and a pair of wine-red soft poufs is all that is needed to furnish a corridor with a traditional classic plinth. The frame of the table “echoes” the frame of the doors, enhancing the aristocratic notes in the interior.

A classic base, a little loft, a couple of bright accents plus a touch of French negligence - this is the recipe for the ideal modern interior. Thanks to the lively contrast and original details, this three-room apartment on Lomonosovsky Prospekt has a special Parisian flavor.
2.1. Eye contact

Black frame, transparent glass, symmetrically located swing doors - the border between the kitchen and living room is presented in the form of a partition wall. It does not hide the space and leaves room for imagination and visual contact.
2.2. Home
In the photo: Classic fireplace in a modern living room
A real home should be solid and impressive, like the fireplace with the classic marble portal in the photo. And its significance in the interior will be enhanced by a symmetrical furniture composition with paired light sofas and black display cases.

In the photo: Seating area with bright armchairs in a modern living room
A small sofa and a couple of bright armchairs create a cozy corner where it’s so nice to daydream over a cup of coffee or drink a glass of wine while chatting with friends. And the original bookshelves give this recreation area a truly Parisian atmosphere.
2.4. Provençal chic
In the photo: Modern kitchen with Provençal flavor and dining area
Olive-gray kitchen cabinet fronts with traditional panels are a reference to popular Provençal interiors. Southern notes are also supported by soft dining chairs with lilac upholstery. But the plaster stucco on the ceiling and the ultra-modern chandelier successfully neutralize the rustic features, adding eclecticism to the project.
2.5. Life with taste
In the photo: Interior of a fashionable bedroom with turquoise and mint walls
Mint and chocolate are a “delicious” tandem, and the modern bedroom design in the photo fully confirms this. Walls in the color of whitewashed turquoise do an excellent job as a backdrop for furniture in chocolate tones, adding freshness to the atmosphere. And the ensemble is complemented by brass-colored accessories: sconces, mirrors, decor.
2.6. Fashion mix

In this space, seemingly completely incompatible things are masterfully combined. And the result is a house in which you want to live and create.
3.1. Interior dominant
In the photo: Black spiral staircase in the design of a modern living room
The black metal spiral staircase is the undisputed dominant feature in the living room interior. It is as ergonomic as possible and takes up only one and a half meters of usable space, but perfectly organizes the space.
3.2. A piece of tropical paradise
In the photo: Dining area with modern furniture and a bright mural
Lush greenery of palm trees, colorful flowers, a bright parrot – a realistic fresco in the dining area instantly transports the apartment’s inhabitants to the hot tropics.

Spring has come to this bedroom forever. This is evidenced by the delicate color scheme with lilac, lilac and gray-blue shades, and the ultra-fashionable ring chandelier with leaf diodes, and the author's painting on the wall. Images of birds and tree branches, on which buds have already swelled, lift your spirits.
3.5. Fairytale world

Original wallpaper in the Scandinavian style turns a children's room for two girls into a fairy-tale world where funny animals live. They are implemented in a current eco-palette consisting of gray, beige and olive shades, and do an excellent job as a background for pink beds.

3.7. Shine of metal

Bathroom and toilet
Tiles are often used as cladding. It is strong, durable and can withstand harsh bathroom conditions. She is not afraid of humidity or temperature changes. If the room is small, you should discard unnecessary items and install the essentials. When using floor tiles, be sure to choose products with a special coating that reduces slipping.
Owners of small bathrooms should pay attention to corner and curved models
Vertical space must be used to the maximum by installing pencil cases or shelves for storing things, as well as towel dryers

In the photo: Living area in a modern kitchen-living room
The combination of kitchen and living room, typical of studio apartments, can transform any space. The room immediately feels spacious and airy, and the walls seem to move apart. In order not to lose this feeling, you should not overload the interior with furniture, and it is better to use lamps and decor for zoning.
4.3. At the center of life
In the photo: Dining area with a round table in the interior of a modern kitchen
A compact dining area with a round table and soft armchairs with velor upholstery in the color of forest moss is located in the center of the kitchen and confidently “twists” the entire interior around itself.

4.7. Clear rhythm
In the photo: Corridor design in gray tones with boiserie panels

5.7. Optical illusion

So, let's summarize. To make a laconic modern interior “sound” in a new way, become brighter and more soulful, it is enough to add a little Parisian chic to it. And to speed up the transformation process, you can order a design project from an interior design guru from the Parisian Interiors AB.
