Design Inspiration: An Ornate Country House by Svetlana Khristoforova & KRAFT
Ornate architectural details meet luxurious modern furnishings in this beautiful private luxury dacha (Russian for a second home or “country house”) designed by Svetlana Khristoforova. The home is in Barvikha, an exurb village in Moscow, Russia. During the Soviet era, Barvikha was known as the site of the most desirable state dachas for government officials and leading intellectuals. Thus since the 1990s, the area has become home to many of Russia’s wealthiest individuals’ luxurious dachas. And oh is this baroque interior one of them!
The talented Svetlana Khristoforova worked with Kraft, Russia’s leading supplier of European quality furnishings, to fill the 1850 sq.m home with the finest statement decor. From Jumbo Collection, Boca do Lobo, Serip, and Rubelli to our very own KOKET! Scroll on for some seriously fancy country house design inspiration.
Inside the Luxurious Country Home
Each piece of furniture and lighting make their own statement while together creating an aura of opulence and charm.
The soft lavender silk upholstered chairs feature a stylized toile bringing nature into the space alongside the beautifully etched glass cocktail table and cabinet. Contrasting the modernized nature motifs are the strong baroque carvings of the sofa, mirror, and stair balusters.
The playful Palatino Cabinet by Boca do Lobo brings a modern exotic flair to the piano’s corner. It’s deep violet lacquer tying to the neighboring silk chairs. This space is also defined by KOKET’s Bolvardi bench, which perfectly plays off the beautified air vent.
Beneath the staircase sits the Spellbound Cabinet by KOKET, yet another statement design bringing in nature with its stylized floral detailing set over antique mirror.
In the luxurious pale mint green and dusty rose stair landing of the country house, design inspiration radiates.
Artfully painted walls with gold detailing perfectly complement the stunning nature-inspired wallpaper in the upper landing.
The statement Drapesse bonnet chair design by KOKET in mauve leather and velvet along with the exquisite Venetian glass chandelier and mirror bring color and glamour to the space.
