Interior Design StudioAny person who appreciates originality and is not looking for easy ways, probably thought about how to decorate his apartment, create a unique interior design. That’s why today our company offers its customers a unique opportunity to install 3D stretch ceilings made using harpoon technology. It is these projects that are distinguished by their unique aesthetic appeal and durability. Each of our works is so unique that they can truly be called a real work of art.
3D artistic stretch ceilings are made by applying a fragmentary image onto two translucent canvases of the same size. Then the canvases are sequentially stretched parallel to each other. The design of virtual models of stretch ceilings in 3D design is carried out using the appropriate software. This is necessary in order to perform mathematical calculations as accurately as possible.
A project developed in a virtual environment, unlike a drawing on paper, provides a high degree of detail of all parts of the future design. For the manufacture of the ceiling, polyester fabric or high quality polyvinyl chloride film is used. Bright and unique projects enter our lives very confidently, turning apartments and houses into original apartments. They allow you to diversify the interior of the room and forget about repairs for a long time. Our ceilings are certified products that do not emit foreign odors and harmful substances, they are environmentally friendly, reliable and fireproof. The film provides reliable protection for your apartment and allows installation in children’s rooms.
3D ceilings are handled by experienced professionals, and in some cases, artists take over. Before creating a masterpiece, they are long and painstakingly engaged in the development of the project. 3D ceilings are original and exclusive, and therefore their cost is quite high. The uniqueness of such a project lies not only in the original image, shape or color, but also in the lighting, which plays a significant role in this production. Modern people have already realized that saving on aesthetics is not worth it, and therefore they are increasingly ordering expensive projects and unique lighting fixtures that simply transform the room and create an indescribable effect in it. In addition to the aesthetic aspect, they help to hide significant flaws in the room (crooked corners, uneven ceilings, pipes, cables, wires), make it more spacious, thereby transforming it beyond recognition.
Despite the constant evolution of ducted air conditioners, over the past ten years, auxiliary equipment air conditioning systems has not undergone significant changes.
The engineers of the French company Baillindustrie drew attention to this discrepancy and developed an innovative technology for the manufacture of decorative diffusers for ducted air conditioning systems.
Diffusers are designed to supply purified air to the room and take air from it, and are also necessary for the effective distribution of air flows.
Until recently, interior designers used various techniques to mask these details, as they often left much to be desired. Today, the diffuser is an important element of the interior of the house, designed to attract attention.
The diffuser consists of a white PVC decorative panel, behind which is an air distribution panel and an aluminum frame. Various materials are used to finish the panel: glass, wood, stainless steel, polycarbonate, methacrylate, etc.
The decorative panel can be rectangular, square, round or egg-shaped, with or without additional decorative cutouts.
The air distribution panel directs the supplied air in 4 directions from the diffuser. In accordance with the Coanda effect, air jets are laid on the ceiling or wall. This prevents the occurrence of negative sensations associated with the movement of air in the room.
In addition to utilitarian functions, special attention is paid to the artistic qualities of the diffusers. Based on three principles – originality, comfort, aesthetics, BAILLINDUSTRIE created the CONFORTDECO brand of diffusers. This brand combines four collections of diffusers that meet high aesthetic requirements.
Thus, CONFORTWHITE diffusers with front design panels made of hard white PVC will suit people who prefer minimalist style.
Supporters of eco-design will love the CONFORTGREEN diffusers covered with moss collected from Norwegian forests. Replacing the juice with a 100% environmentally friendly substance allows you to maintain the natural freshness of plants for a long time.
Diffusers CONFORTGRAPHIC, thanks to the technology of applying various images (photos, logos) to the front design panel, will fit into any interior style, from classic to hi-tech. In this case, the only condition is a high image resolution.
Finally, the CONFORTLIGHT diffusers with built-in LEDs perform both lighting and air supply/exhaust functions at the same time.
Thus, decorative CONFORTDECO customizable diffusers become an interior decoration, successfully replacing traditional diffusers and ventilation grilles.

Residents of cities in one way or another think about improving their living conditions and increasing the comfort of living. In accordance with the desire and possibilities, repairs are being made in a newly acquired or in an old apartment.
At the same time, changes in the layout of the apartment make it possible to get what exactly its owner needs. Finally, the long-awaited jacuzzi bath will enter the enlarged bathroom, the kitchen will turn into a spacious living room where you can gather with your family or friends. Or maybe we just need to isolate the rooms or add a small, but such a necessary, pantry … These and similar changes in living quarters are called “re-planning and reorganization” in the legislation and are subject to approval in the manner prescribed by law.
As we all understand, it is impossible to turn all the fantasy in the field of apartment design into reality. Unfortunately, the reason for this is a limitation of both a technical and a legal nature. A few simple tips will help us navigate the variety of choices.
RULE ONE.
First of all, we need to remember that any building is like a big house of cards – the load-bearing structures perceive the load of the upper levels, and if one of the parts of the support system is removed (for example, to dismantle the load-bearing wall in the apartment or make an opening), then collapse may occur. Determine the supporting structures and leave them alone. However, in this case there may be exceptions, when changes are possible here. But to do this without preparing the appropriate documentation, all the more so, it is impossible to dismantle part of the supporting structure on your own and is simply unsafe.
RULE TWO.
Any apartment (with rare exceptions) is divided into zones – living (rooms), kitchen, bathroom and corridor. Questions often arise: is it possible to expand the bathroom at the expense of the kitchen or the kitchen at the expense of the bathroom? The answer is simple. The legislation categorically prohibits the increase in the bathroom at the expense of the living room or kitchen. Only through the hallway. The kitchen also cannot be expanded by “stepping” into the bathroom. The rest is possible, but there are nuances. They are numerous and it is not possible to cover them in our short article.
RULE THREE.
It is impossible to combine summer (not heated) premises with heated ones: i.e. balconies and loggias with rooms and a kitchen, as well as taking out batteries to balconies and loggias. It is possible to disassemble the window sill by deploying the battery on the wall and installing a stained-glass window at the same time.
RULE FOUR.
You should not touch the risers of heating, water supply and sewerage, install shutoff valves on them, sink them into the walls, bending them at the same time. It is impossible to reduce the section of the ventilation duct. Here are the main, but not all, restrictions.
These four simple rules will help you avoid the most common and costly mistakes when designing and remodeling your favorite apartment.
You need to know – the legislation provides for the most stringent measures against such violators – liability for illegal redevelopment, ranging from a fine to the sale at auction of such a premises with the restoration of its original appearance at the expense of the previous owner. Do we need such “happiness”?
If there are doubts whether it is possible to agree or legitimize the redevelopment, then in most cases they can be resolved within ten minutes of an oral consultation with a specialist.
Time spent on approval – on average, the period for obtaining permits when agreeing on redevelopment is from one and a half months to six months, depending on the complexity of the work being done and the type of approval: according to the project or according to the sketch.
And finally, we all should remember that careful attention to our real estate, including compliance with legislation in the field of redevelopment and reconstruction, is the key to our economic and physical security, as well as the life and health of people around us.
Ionosfera specialists have extensive experience in coordinating the redevelopment of apartments.
The staircase is a symbolic element of your home. Each type of stairs can say a lot about its owner. For example, a marching staircase is suitable for down-to-earth natures, firmly standing on their feet, a spiral staircase is the choice of creative, creative people, and bolts , hovering over worldly concerns and sometimes loving to dream.
WHAT ARE STAIRS?
It is impossible not to admit that monumental heaviness is characteristic of traditional marching structures. Spiral staircases have their aesthetic advantages, but are not so convenient for movement. It was the combination of beauty and practicality that made the bolt staircase a serious competitor for other types of stairs. For the first time, a new support system was used by Kenngott (Germany), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of stairs of various types. In our country, such structures appeared in the mid-90s. In a relatively short time, the innovation has gained a lot of admirers both in the circles of professional architects and designers, and among private developers and homeowners.
First of all, when choosing a ladder, it is customary to pay attention to practicality: structural strength, material reliability, etc. When the Boltsev ladder appears before us, admiration for its gracefulness diverts thoughts about practicality into the background.
But is it worth underestimating the reliability of the ladder? Long years of operation of bolt ladders show that they are not. Boltsevy ladders – not less strong and reliable, than other types of ladders.
You can verify this by looking a little at its design.
For the manufacture of steps of staircases, various materials are used, both natural wood and imitating it: glued boards made of hardwood (larch, oak, ash, beech, cherry, maple), material veneered with valuable wood veneer (mahogany, walnut, etc.). .d.), a new laminated material CPL (Kenngott), imitating the texture of wood.
Also, the steps of the bolt stairs are made of stone (marble, granite, gneiss, quartzite) and reinforced concrete treads 3-4 cm thick, lined with decorative stone.
To achieve the “airiness” and “transparency” of stairs, steps made of acrylic or laminated high-strength glass 36-38 mm thick are used. To prevent the treads from slipping, their upper plane is made corrugated and / or covered with a special invisible material that roughens the glass or plastic.
Despite the apparent weightlessness, the structures on the rails are able to withstand a distributed load of up to 1800 kg. Such stairs are usually equipped with an elegant balustrade made of wood and metal, glass railings, etc. depending on the interior design concept.
From the above, it is clear that the ladders on the rails belong to the category of building products of industrial production.
After all, bolts, despite their apparent simplicity, are a mini-fixing system, which can only be made in industrial conditions. And to install such a system, professional installers are also needed. First of all, a staircase is a functional element that ensures the safety and comfort of movement for residents of the house. And in the case of a bolt staircase, beauty and originality of design are added here.
As soon as the idea of repair in the apartment has matured in our head, we immediately face the question: find design company (studio, bureau, individual)? Or do your own repairs?
The sad previous experience of your own design “creativity”, lack of time or a simple desire to surround yourself with a really interesting design and high-quality repairs does not give even a shadow of doubt in favor of trusting professionals. And here another, already more global question arises: to whom to entrust your most intimate square meters? The question, it must be said, is not an easy one, since the choice in the market for design services is currently more than diverse.
So, you need to approach this issue in detail, so that later you don’t grab your head, remembering: “What did it take so much money for?” or “How could a designer choose such a color for the walls?”
First of all, when choosing a designer, you need to consider the following points:
• Interesting, beautiful design, and then repair depends not only on one designer, but also on ourselves. How clearly, clearly, we will form our desires in the design of the apartment and will serve as the basis for the future design project. The success of the project depends on how mutual your cooperation with the designer will be.
• You need to understand that the designer creates a space for life, and how it will look can affect many things: our mood, attitude, and indirectly even our actions. It’s good when there is trust between you and the designer, this is the key to creative design solutions that will suit both parties.
• Not always the quality of design services depends on the price. Sometimes prices are “inflated”, and the result at the same time leaves much to be desired. There are designers who work as freelancers, but working in a company gives you the opportunity to communicate with your colleagues, consult when making a decision, delegate responsibilities, and this accordingly saves time and improves the quality of services.
• Equally important is the qualifications and experience of the designer. There are times when an insanely talented student who comes up with a seemingly brilliant design project can make a mistake in choosing materials, and at the same time the overall picture is not at all what was expected.
• When creating the interior of an apartment, it is advisable to deal with an architectural and construction company, where both planners (designers) and builders work. The interaction between these specialists directly affects the final result.
Of course, there are many more nuances when choosing a designer, and you can learn them already in the process of working on apartment design.
Good luck choosing!
Developing a project designer of apartments and eco-friendly paints for interiors.
The creation of environmentally friendly finishing materials for walls and ceilings is becoming the subject of scientific research by the world’s leading companies.
The high quality of the products combined with their environmental friendliness leaves no room for compromise.
Renovation of an apartment or house using StoColor Climasan paint involves air purification based on the principle of photocatalysis.
Gases and volatiles , which are present in the air of any room, collide with the surface of the wall or ceiling, painted with paint StoColor Climasan.
Light activates the catalyst, present in the paint, which on the boundary surface begins to continuously decompose substances into their constituent elements.
Result:
A measurable improvement in indoor air quality.
To breathe clean air, just turn on the light. Under the action of the catalyst, which is part of the paint, organic compounds contained in the air are neutralized, pollutant molecules are decomposed into separate harmless particles.
Active interior paint StoColor Climasan eliminates odors and dirt. The greatest effect is achieved in residential premises, restaurants and cafes, medical institutions.
This paint from Germany has a certificate confirming low emission of volatile substances, the absence of solvents and plasticizers, as well as a control system for the selection of raw materials.
We spend most of our lives indoors – we live, work, relax. That is why eco-friendly finishing materials, used in the renovation of apartments and houses, make our living environment not only beautiful, but also safe and comfortable. Interior Designer Services by ionosfera.
The first smart home systems in Ukraine began to be implemented in the late 90s. As a rule, they came down to controlling lighting, curtains and Home Theater equipment. To date, thousands of projects have been implemented in our country that have a much higher degree of integration with building engineering systems.
There are also some fundamental differences in the ideas of introducing a “smart” home abroad and in Ukraine.
The main goal of home automation in Europe or in the USA is, above all, energy saving. After all, such technologies can significantly save electricity and water – the main resources necessary for the functioning of a modern human dwelling. Additional comfort, although important, is still in second place. Whereas in Ukraine it is the opposite: in the first place is the comfort and prestige of the owner of the home. Only a few of us still think about energy saving.
Let’s try to briefly list the main functions and capabilities of modern smart home systems:
To control a huge number of functions that the “Smart House” is capable of performing, special remote controls are used. Usually in each of the Smart House systems there are several types of them:
The simplest wall controls are somewhat similar to ordinary light switches, but can be equipped with small LCD displays that display the necessary information. Wall panels are usually programmed to control the main functions of the multi-room system, to control light and climate. In addition, microphones are often built into wall consoles for communication within the home.
More sophisticated portable learning remote controls can be used to control all the audio-video equipment in your home even without the use of a central control processor. They are able to replace dozens of conventional remote controls, as they can be programmed to control equipment from any manufacturer. Recently, the use of modern tablets and smartphones as portable remote controls has become widespread.
Finally, the most complex and, as a result, the most expensive – touch panels – allow you to control all the functions of your home smart system. These panels can be programmed in such a way as to schematically display a house plan on the screen, which is very convenient when controlling a “multi-room” system, light and microclimate in different rooms. The control panel can display the image from a DVD player or VCR, the table of contents of the discs loaded in the CD/DVD changer. In addition, the panel can feed images from security cameras, increasing the image size to the maximum size by simply pressing your finger on the touch screen.
It should be noted that remotes and control panels play a very important role in the smart home system. Much depends on their ease of use, functionality and programming capabilities in the operation of an “intelligent” system.
Theoretically, today the possibilities of the “intellectual system” are unlimited. If desired, you can automate the management of anything, from a vacuum cleaner to a pet feeder. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary to stuff the home with absolutely all the “bells and whistles” described above. The concept of a modern “smart” home allows the use of only those systems that are needed in each specific case.
The development of automation systems is optimally performed at the design stage, simultaneously with the development of all engineering systems, this will reduce alterations and not disturb the decoration of the premises. In the case when the intellectual filling is included in the building design even before the start of construction, all systems will be initially connected together, and the return on technology will be maximum.
Prices for installing smart home components vary. They depend on what technology is used, what level of automation is planned. Naturally, the cost also varies depending on how global the system is planned. If at the construction stage it is necessary to bring “to mind” a three-story country cottage, providing for the automation of as many processes as possible – this is one thing. And if you just want to have a fashionable and convenient lighting system in the apartment (with the ability to automatically adjust the brightness, turn it on and off “by cotton”, etc.) – this is completely different.
Today, even the most conservative people in the field of technology have heard, at least out of the corner of their ear, such concepts as “Multiroom”, “Smart House”, “Smart House”.
Unfortunately, hearing is one thing, but having a clear idea of what it really is is quite another.
The very concept of “smart” home (English smart house) is not so young. It arose in the United States in the early 70s of the last century, in the depths of the “Institute of Intelligent Buildings”. At that time, a smart home meant “a building that provides productive and efficient use of the workspace …”.
However, the year of birth of the modern “smart” home can be considered 1978, when in the USA companies X10 USA and Leviton developed a technology called X10 and began production of devices for controlling household appliances via household power wires.
At that time, these developments were distributed only in the United States, since the equipment operated at a voltage of 110 V and a mains frequency of 60 Hz (American power grid standard). Nevertheless, it is to these firms that mankind owes the appearance of “incredible miracles of progress” – automatically opening doors, lights that turn on by the clap and other “tricks” with which wealthy Americans surprised their guests.
At that time, X10 technology (which still exists) was revolutionary. But its capabilities were very limited, and it was mainly used to control lighting. But in connection with the growing demands of users, there was a need for new features. This led to the Consumer Electronic Bus (CEBus) standard in 1992. Today, the CEBus communication protocol provides for the transmission of a control signal over household power wires, twisted pair, coaxial cable, in the radio frequency or infrared range.
In our time, in addition to the technologies mentioned here (modernized, but still rather “slow” X10, as well as CEBus), there are others on the basis of which the concept of an “intelligent” home can be implemented.
As an example of the most powerful functionally and at the same time flexible system of this kind, we can cite the equipment of the American company Crestron, which meets the requirements of the most demanding customers.
In Europe, the most common is the EIB protocol (an abbreviation for the English European Installation Bus). Today, perhaps, this is the main European platform on which the construction of “smart” houses is carried out. Its other name is Instabus.
Equipment of this standard is produced by leading European manufacturers in the field of electrical engineering and automation: ABB, Siemens, Gira, Merten, Berker, Jung, etc.
A global trend in the world of furniture can be called eco-design. This trend sets the direction for the development of the entire furniture industry, from the production of materials from natural and environmentally friendly raw materials to the shaping and promotion strategy of furniture items on the market. Ecological or otherwise ‘green design’ can now be found in the catalog of any major European manufacturer. There are also factories on the market that focus entirely on making furniture only from natural materials. Together with ecological cleanliness and safety, such furniture brings an additional atmosphere of warmth, comfort, and simplicity to the house.
When we choose a sofa, we pay attention to many aspects: its design, the quality of the frame from which it is made, and it is desirable to have a hygiene certificate that certifies its environmental friendliness. However, as a rule, we look first of all at the upholstery.
And now, in our world of rapid development in science and industry, there has been a major shift towards artificial materials, in addition to reducing the final cost of a finished piece of furniture, but also increasing its shelf life. For example, before, if there was a choice between upholstered furniture made of leatherette or genuine leather, any person unconditionally preferred the second. This was due to the fact that leatherette was something unintelligible and little resembling leather. Today, everything has changed, because, thanks to the development of modern technologies, artificial leather has become like its natural prototype, and in some respects even surpassed it.
Eco-leather perfectly copies the texture of the skin and it is difficult to distinguish it from natural in appearance. unpretentious in care, vapor-permeable, resistant to tearing and abrasion, demonstrates good tactile characteristics, perfectly fits and drapes, is not subject to adverse weather factors, environmentally friendly, non-allergenic, non-toxic. Eco-leather is based on cotton fabric, which is quite durable and hygienic. That allows you to use it in children’s furniture. Velor, Nubuck, Pamela, Santa, being varieties of eco-leather, are produced in a wide range of colors, which allowed furniture designers not to restrain the flight of their own imagination, while performing the most complex drapery elements.
And here’s another updated version, brought to royal chic in interior design.
Microvelour (or microvelour) is a type of flock patented by the aforementioned MICROFIBRES company. Under this name, many different options for matter are produced, differing in the way the surface is decorated (using various embossing and dyeing technologies). Microvelour has high consumer qualities. The peculiarity of the original material is its glue. When it hardens, it turns into an elastic “breathable” structure, which at the same time firmly holds the pile, so that the fabric can even be washed.
However, the trend of our time, the time, so to speak, the struggle for environmental friendliness, has become relevant fabrics either 100% natural or to a greater extent. For example: Wool, linen, cotton … and despite the “capriciousness” of such material, the furniture, on the contrary, began to look much more comfortable.
The Luxury segment also has some nice updates. First of all, it should be noted that the textile industry is increasingly blurring the boundaries between the worlds of interior and fashion industries. Increasingly, you can find fabrics that come in the atelier of leading couturiers and in the studio of famous designers. As a result: the fashion for interior fabrics is becoming more and more dynamic. As you know, the Loro Piana brand ranks first in the world in terms of the quality of cashmere, wool, silk and linen fabrics. In addition, Loro Piana has the exclusive right to the world’s most expensive wool, the Peruvian vicuña. Loro Piana has obtained the exclusive right to acquire this precious fiber under the patronage of the Peruvian government. The fabric made from the wool of this animal has been known since the time of the Incas; it was she who was considered the fabric of the gods. Today, under the Loro Piana brand, not only clothing collections are produced, but also high-quality, expensive, exclusive fabrics made from natural fibers with innovative components for upholstery and home interiors. One of the “symbioses” of high art, the noble Giorgetti furniture in the home collection of Loro Piana Interiors. This combination is unique for the world market today.
In general, Italian furniture manufacturers have always been considered trendsetters in the furniture world. The secret of such success lies in the ability to apply the carefully preserved traditions of the masters of the past and combine them with modern materials, new technologies and artistic thought. In the modern production of furniture masterpieces, the Italians still prefer valuable tree species, the list of which includes dozens of both rare and more common well-known names. However, in the creation of almost any Italian furniture, there are some rules. For the manufacture of the base, selected pine, beech, poplar or oak wood is used, thoroughly dried and impregnated with a special solution that prevents possible deformation of wood fibers, as well as chipboard and MDF (in less expensive furniture). MDF, which is wood shavings glued together with a certain component, is easy to use in the manufacture of curly furniture parts. However, for flat rounding of large planes, multilayer plywood is more often used. Veneer, plastic, laminate, melamine are chosen as finishing when creating furniture – that is, the widest range of both natural and artificial materials.
