Lovingly preserved historical heritage brings neoclassical intricacy to this exquisite apartment that overlooks Bolshoi Prospekt, at the very heart of the Petrogradka District of St. Petersburg, Russia. Visualised by Rindes, this elegant residence boasts original crown moulding and deeply decorative stucco moulding across impressively high ceilings. Wainscotting has been manipulated to disguise interior doors, and unique paint effects distort spacial perception under a subtle muted sage green and blush pink palette. Crisp, contemporary furniture items and modern decor accessories create clean juxtaposition against the more decorative elements, whilst eye-catching modern light fixtures add a refreshed sense of grandeur. Floor plan included at the end of the home tour.

A traditional fireplace has been given an update with a coat of glossy sage green paint. The soft accent colour breathes life into the delicate room palette.
Opposite the sofa, a floating tv stand carries a fashionable ribbed aesthetic under a luxe black marble top. A decorative vase adds a little height to the linear piece, which connects it with a frame of exquisite boiserie. Glass doors on either side of the TV wall reveal a glimpse of a second lounge area with a dainty blush pink painted fireplace.
