Soft touch residence
THE BASIS OF THE STYLE
The client’s main desire was a white interior with a streamlined shape and red kitchen, which acted as the starting point for our team in creating the Soft touch residence. Bright accents in red colours emphasize the individuality of the owners and highlight pertinent details.
THE LIVING ROOM
The living room is a place where we expect people to spend a great deal of of time and so we have combined it physically with the dining room and kitchen in order to visually give an impression of space and freedom. The concept of smooth lines was emphasised by a Vittoria Frigerio semi-circular leather sofa, which facilitates communication and pleasant evenings with the family. The interior complements the impeccable and carefully selected textiles from Hermes.
KITCHEN
The elegant OLA 25 limited edition kitchen in red carbon with the sheidero brand by pininfarina helps provide the maximum level of ergonomics and functionality for a modern home space.
CANTEEN
One idiosyncrasy of the dining area is the amazing view of the city. This facet helps turn its sombre appearance into a place where meals can feel like special occasions. The elegant chairs and table with a white marble worktop complete area.
WARDROBE
The design of a dressing room was carefully considered and based on clean elegant lines, concise forms in strict proportions by Poliform. The unique chandeliers by ArteFloritude are based on elements of living nature and gave the space a certain balance.
THE OFFICE
The office is a mix of warm soothing colors, where nothing distracts from reading. The harmonious combination of glossy coatings with the matt surfaces of the Malerba furniture gives seems flawless.
THE MASTER REST ZONE
Soft light, white coatings, delicate textures, an atmosphere of lightness and elegance expounds here. To bring this concept to being, we used furniture from the Italian factory Colombostile.
The MASTER BATHROOM
The bathroom was created using Italian mosaic by Sicis and is complemented by TOTO sensory plumbing. For maximum comfort, we chose furniture from the Oasis factory, which not only furnishes a bathroom, but surprises and innovates ideas.
THE CHILDREN'S ROOM
The news of the appearance of twins in the family was emotional and uplifting, the Halley collection with Altamoda bears supported this upbeat mood. All furniture is made exclusively from natural materials, including the upholstery, varnishes and paints, creating a fairy-tale world, beautifully equipped for the development and creativity of children.
the Guest room
The guest room is decorated in contrasting shades. In the decoration of the walls we used wallpaper produced in France by Elitis, lighting from the British band Heathfield & Co. A soft leather sofa by Giulio Marelli complements the decor.
GUEST BATHROOM
When decorating the guest bathroom, we were drawn to Bisazza, Italian mosaic professionals with a long and well documented history. The interior is a combination of modern style and technology.
Studio Bolshakova Interiors
DREAM
The design concepts produced by our studio immerse the client into the philosophy that underpins everything we do and enables them to share our values and trends we follow. The welcome zone is designed as a place for meetings and socializing, not as a private space or office. We offer our visitors an atmosphere and ambience in which they will feel comfortable to join us in designing their dream house.
PHILOSOPHY
When creating interiors, we always focus on a timeless philosophy and really value our cooperation with companies that are best able to create high-quality interior objects. An example of this is a sofa and armchairs from the latest Poliform collection in Loro Piana textile.
OPPORTUNITIES
Most of the solutions are designed exclusively for our studio in order to demonstrate to guests the capabilities of our company and manufacturing partners. In terms of individual products and unique finishes, we were limited only by our imagination. For example, the light above the negotiating table of the brand Lee Broom, carved from a single piece of сarrara marble and trimmed with brass inserts.
WE BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
Our most valuable resource is our design team and together feel we can achieve anything. We respect our clients impeccably and learn a great deal from them and strive for the best results together. We trust our customers implicitly and we know that miracles happen, we see it all the time!
BATHROOM
In the bathroom we used natural quartzite and light produced by the British brand Lee, an elegant model called Ring Light.
Cream style interior
IDEA
The Сream style interior project is a balance between contrasting colours and shapes. The client’s main desire was to use her favorite colour, purple. To ensure the interior did not feel cold, we complemented the purple with a warm creamy-beige shade on the walls. Smoky glass and bronze mirrors play tricks with the light, emphasising the depth of space and expressive forms created by the refraction of light.
LIVING ROOM
The specific features of the living room are a wall with paneling, built-in doors and overhead lighting. An American walnut floor epitomises the individual style and is a stark contrast to the light walls. The Bristol model sofa from Poliform with accent pillows from Loro Piana fits perfectly with the decor. The functionality of the interior is further improved by the addition of a showcase from Rimadesio fashioned from dark smoky glass.
KITCHEN-DINING ROOM
The Veneta Cucine Kitchen fits seamlessly into the common space of the apartment. The facade, as a continuation of the walls, is the same color and material as the wall in the living room and bronzed mirrors were placed at opposite ends. The dining area was sourced from the Italian factory Cattelan Italia.
BEDROOM
In the design of the recreational area, the client requested a bright bedroom with a white leather bed. Bulky Elitis wallpaper feathers accentuate the “puffy” shape of the bed, and this area is enriched by a carpet covered in Nanimarquina felt rose petals.
BATHROOM
Unconventional, for a bathroom, woodworking tiles created an atmosphere of coziness and intimacy in this space. We also chose furniture with clear geometric shapes and minimalist aesthetics from the Italian factory Arbi.
CHILDREN'S
The interior for the children's room is furnished in shades of blue and complemented by accents in the form of stars. It was important for us to create a space that was as functional as possible using natural materials, so we chose items from the Italian factory Zalf.
The sofa is a simple shape with a combination of coarse Roma flax and velvet from Dedar.
Private residence at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
Awards and Prize
SBID Product Design Awards 2019 — shortlisted.
STYLE
The character of the interior is based around soft colors and modern classics, reflecting beautifully the atmosphere of the Cote d’Azur. The investors had requested a design that was characteristic of this region. As a result, we created a truly amazing summer residence which sits in harmony with the panoramic view of the coast of Monaco.
IDEA
The main part of the first floor is dominated by a large open living room with well positioned lighting. The common area, in which the family gathers with guests is multifunctional. There are no separate passages between zones, the whole space is open and radiates ease and freedom.
LIVING ROOM
We had already worked on existing house from the 70-s and this provided us with a framework from which something modern and beautiful could evolve. Furniture in powder shades from Black Tie and Minnoti, Soft lighting from Ralph Lauren and Moooi emphasizes certain aspects and produces an interesting range of silhouettes.
KITCHEN
In the kitchen space we worked with low ceilings and thanks to verticals, light tones and carefully considered furniture management, we managed to create a feeling of space. The presence of contrasting accents make the light interior more expressive, and with the furniture from Poliform, it could be described as multifunctional. From the dining zone an entrance leads to a terrace, from where one can admire the sea and swim in the swimming pool.
MASTER BEDROOM
The private master zone is located on the second floor and designed as a single and private space for two, where the bedroom merges with the bathroom and dressing room. Here playful pastel shades and expressive contrasts prevail.
BATHROOM
In the bathroom we wanted to create a continuation of the living area. To achieve this, the flooring was chosen in the same parquet as the bedroom. An independently standing bath gives this space a feeling of romance and relaxation.
GUEST BEDROOM
The guest zone is located on the first floor. This bedroom has a masculine mood, saturated steel coloured walls, black lampshades, in addition to a leather covered bed. The bathroom is decorated with noble marble, making the space visually stunning and quite immaculate.
GUEST BATHROOM
Cream and caramel colors form the basis of the design for the additional bedroom. Here we were inspired by sweet colours from confectionery, cream, marshmallow and berries. When a person has a sweet association and perception of the interior, the room becomes comfortable on a subconscious level. The bedroom can be used as a second guest room, or as a second kids room. In the bathroom the accent is focused towards the sink, which is itself complemented by soft lighting with an onyx finish. This was actually our beautiful client’s idea!

MOOD
When we worked on the interior design of the "Private Residential Emerald Villa" we wanted to create a sense of celebration and apply bold combinations of colour. The space is like a glistening picture, the bright background requires balance with intense and vivid strokes. We also faced the challenge of incorporating the eclectic stylistics of the interior, including a private collection of art and family objects.
TERRACE
The green terrace is decorated with Marinette furniture from the Saint Tropez collection and complemented by rich accents, such as Loro Piana plaid and Herme pillows. It is ideally placed to enjoy views of the garden and the river.
LIVING ROOM
Whilst working on the living room, we were heavily influenced by interiors in France and Britain and their active colour schemes, which we wanted to bring to the interior. We strove to create a sense of celebration, rich colours and unexpected combinations. A resplendent accent here is generated by the red sofa from Wales and Brabbu textiles Adamo & Eva, Dedar. Black velour armchairs from Dukono, Brabbu, and a floral carpet from Moooi also grace the room.
Accessories: Sourced from Bolshakova Interiors accessories.
KITCHEN-DINING
The central element of the kitchen is the brass bar design, specially made based on our sketches, and accent red bar stools from Brabbu. The light above the bar was provided by Lee Broom. The dining room is decorated with a vintage wooden table and vintage Dedar upholstered chairs, all from the client’s personal collection.
BATHROOM
Upon entering the bathroom, you experience a unique atmosphere, which was created using wallpaper from Limerence from the House of Hackney collection. This is further enhanced by interesting lighting and paintings from a private collection from a modern Georgian artist.
Accessories - Provided by Bolshakova Interiors accessories
SPA ZONE
We designed the space in white, emphasizing the black plastic detail. The French sliding doors speak for themselves and any additions would only have distracted from their perfection, both in terms of form and function. They are also the gateway to views of the beautiful garden. Armchairs and deckchairs were supplied by Freinder, Safi and Maroc.
BEDROOM
The slightly active feel of the living room is juxtaposed by the calm mood of the bedroom, decorated in calm creamy colors. We chose a bed from the King Koil, which embodies the concepts of classics and modernity, a powder blanket from Quagliotti and pillows from Hermes gave the finishing touches.
BATHROOM
The bathroom is a continuation of the calm mood of the bedroom. Here we used furniture from the Italian factory Gaia.

Crystal Park residence
Idea
The apartments are located in the middle of an old Kyiv park with a rich history dating back to the 19th century. The main idea of the project is to integrate wildlife into the interior and to combine natural textures with loft elements. The client travels frequently and wanted to feel comfortable and relaxed in the atmosphere at home, so this meant the interior would not be full of overpowering shades.
Living room
The main focus in the living room is a panorama of the city outside the window, the walls boast calm shades enhancing the bright green colour encouraging people to look outside. The highlight is the Poliform sofa in terracotta Loro Piana fabric, which compliments the Tom Dixon spherical lamps in the kitchen area. The wall is decorated with a wall panel by Glamora.
Kitchen
There is nothing superfluous here - that is why the decision was to choose a kitchen from the Poliform and Veneta Cucine factories, who offer simplicity and functional solutions. To give a pleasant tactile sensation, I wanted to add natural wood to this area, and we used solid teak as a tabletop, as natural wood is beautiful in itself. I would also like to mention the refined Seattle Poliform chairs designed by French designer Jean Marie Massaud. which are made of high-quality smooth leather with a stainless steel frame. The delicately perforated leather at the seams demands attention.
Bedroom
When entering the bedroom, the authentic brickwork at the head of the bed is a head turner. It conjures up a picture of a workshop where workers are dismantling old buildings, washing, sawing and creating decorative bricks. Opposite the window is a Poliform armchair in Loro Piana cashmere trim and a Santa Cole Dorica floor lamp. The composition is completed with a natural handmade carpet from OLK Manufactory.
Cabinet
In this space, we wanted to create an environment that helps to focus on work, but at the same time, include interesting details that will inspire. For example, the weightless Bon Jour table lamp by Flos seems to float in space, and the art on the table and by the sofa creates an imaginative space.
Bathrooms
To support the loft theme, the designers used Atlas Concorde's Brave tiles with a concrete-like texture. The elegant panel from Glamora echoes the nature motives in the apartment and adds volume to the room.
Hallway
The height of the ceilings in the hallway is accentuated by the positioning of a beveled mirror. Poliform's elegant New York pouf adds comfort to the space. Harmony with nature is reflected in a painting from the Equillibrium collection by Maria Vozvyshaeva.
Renaissance Residence
LIVING ROOM
The bright, minimal interior is furnished with Mad burgundy chairs and a deep blue gradient carpet from Poliform. Adjacent to the chest of drawers, Meghan floor lamps from Natalia Bolshakova create patterns of light that demand attention. The comfortable Poliform sofas stylish look is completed with Hermes decorative pillows. Indoor sculptures by Nazar Bilyk enhance the ambience.
KITCHEN-DINING ROOM
The Poliform kitchen’s beige and glossy surfaces are complimented by gray Sitland bar stools. Above the Poliform dining table is a simply designed pendant lamp from Artemide. The interior contains an impressive painting by Anatoly Krivolap.
BEDROOM
Contardі curved lamps support the Delavega plump light bed style. A Lora Piano terracotta blanket looks stunning beside the Poliform Sara mirror and the edging of a soft carpet from Lora Piano brings the space together. A mirrored chest of drawers exhibiting clearly defined features and dark Poliform sideboards add volume and symmetry to the bedroom.
BATHROOM
The bathroom is resplendent in contrasting black and white colors, we opted for tiles from Atlas Concorde with a distinctive marble texture. The interior was supplemented with austere lamps from SLV and Paffoni fixtures.
OFFICE
Here we used Poliform furniture in dark wood and leather. Poliform armchairs in Lora Piano fabric were placed near the window. Unobtrusive lighting for the desk is created by the Meghan table lamp by Natalia Bolshakova. There is nothing superfluous in the office, which facilitates a focus on work and reading.
Sample Apartments
Solutions
The project had a tight deadline. We used Elitis wallcoverings from the “by Chance collection”. The hall and wall in the living room were painted in a deep grey, demonstrating our confidence in using using dark shades in the apartment. The light interior is perceived more powerfully because of the contrasting dark detail.
Lighting
We used the dark grey walls as an experimental background for lighting, which worked perfectly. The light panel with metal petals designed by the French brand Art Et Floritude from the Les Galets collection is, effectively a piece of art.
Dining-room
The kitchen is also decorated in grey. The characteristic feature of the kitchen is the dark wood typical of Arrital, the tone being matched by the Dedar textile factory. The tableware was ordered from the "12 persons" Salon.
Lounge area
There was enough space by the floor-to-ceiling windows to install a miniature coffee table and armchairs by Galimberti Nino. There is also a bio-fireplace with a marble portal against the wall, an impressive feature that catches the eye.
River Apartment
The Idea
The residential complex is located in the city, although, you have the impression you are actually in a country house. We decided to combine elements of the outside environment with the internal design of the apartments, so the interior is designed in an eco-style with eco-friendly materials and natural shades.
Solutions
For partitioning we used transparent glass by Henri Glass to free up space and maintain light. As part of this process, the kitchen evolved into a separate room, although it very much part of the studio interior. The wardrobe, which is constructed from dark wood in the lobby, epitomizes the 2-in-1 concept, functioning as a storage area and also home to the mini-bar.
Lighting
Architectural lighting from Viabizzuno was chosen here. Candelabras by this brand can be easily installed on plasterboard surfaces, they can be painted in the colour of the walls or decorated with wallpaper, blending in beautifully with the interior.
Office Space
We tried to leave lots of free space for a work-room. The office area is free from prying eyes behind the sliding glossy panels, which were specially ordered. The table with leather trim from the Chic collection by Smania is highlighted by a spotlight. Any product from this manufacturer of luxury furniture is so stand alone elegant, it does not need additional decor.
Master bedroom
There are natural shades in this area as well. The calm tones of the coverings are naturally relaxing. However, the room does not look staid, because the architectural techniques involved in its construction make it an extraordinary space.
Domino
The bedroom is furnished and decorated by SMA Domino Plus. Its sleek blends are in tune with the architectural ceiling and "soften" protruding fragments from the walls. An interesting feature is that pedestals and chiffoniers in this model fold in a “domino effect”, so sections can be made more or less prominent.
Bathroom
After being shown the Metropolitan bathroom collection by Villeroy & Boch in black we made a decision instantly. There was no doubt as to what to use as the basis of the design, and how the furnishment of the bathroom would develop.
B/W style
It’s well known that contrasting colors, such as black and white are always a safe choice. The interior looks simple and stylish. A proportion of 70% lighter colours to 30% darker was maintained so as to keep the room nice and bright.
Drawing room blue interior
Style
Of course, colour is the most basic element in an interior! It was actually the customer’s wish. Thanks to him for this! The style of decoration was chosen according to the British traditions of modern interiors.
Living room
The name given to the shade of blue is “Drawing room blue”. This is what the Farrow & Ball factory calls “the shadows” - an exclusive special in tones and their potential use. It’s not as simple as choosing the right overtone. Tortora, gray, dark wood + bright accents became the additional "participants" of the interior. Our preferences in stylistics are fully conveyed using products from the factories of Smania, Oasis, and light - Heathfield. There is also the incredible French porcelain by Haviland, collection of Belle Epoque!
Details and Tricks
To leave a sense of common space with a smooth "flow" of zones from one to another, without doors and unnecessary walls - this is what was achieved. Doors from the floor to the ceiling visually overstate the space. It's always a beautiful decision!
Correct solution
The conditional and subtle zoning, when closets are actually walls, allowed us to save space. Storage areas are inconspicuous, simply unnoticed, beautiful and quietly store things.
Private area
A bedroom is always a special zone. It is a place of rest, restoration and personal space. Harmony, coziness and comfort are important here more than ever. The bed linen is composed of incredibly soft and high quality fabrics complimented with gentle lace from LaPerla - this is what everyone needs!
Bathroom
Today’s people need a comfortable space in which to care for themselves. So we are already "spoiled". Attributes that create beauty and purity have already become a necessity. We also understand that being in a beautiful place during all this procedure is also important!
