Interior Design StudioA country house or cottage almost never happens without a fireplace, especially in our climate with dank autumn and cold winter. In this regard, more and more serious demands are made in the development of fireplace inserts in the trend of the latest progressive technologies and not in changes in design and dimensions.
To adequately respond to the new challenges of the modern world, Stûv has developed a new model of the energy-saving fireplace insert Stûv µM.
The volume of the combustion chamber is reduced in the new furnace, and a 4-level afterburning is implemented, due to which a higher temperature is reached inside the furnace part and, as a result, the combustion of firewood improves and the efficiency of the glass self-cleaning system increases. Thanks to the new design and new solutions, the work of the furnace allows you to get more thermal energy to heat the house, and less emissions into the atmosphere.
The combustion chamber, as it were, borders the firewood laid in the form of a camp fire. Firewood length: up to 50 cm. We recommend using 30 cm firewood.
REASONABLE FIREPLACE SIZE
The design of the µM firebox is designed to have reasonable overall dimensions and a wide view of the flame, which in turn influenced its design features. The sealing system ensures that the firebox is completely airtight.
CONNECTIONS OF THE FIREPLACE WITH THE FIREPLACE1. It is possible to connect a chimney
vertically up or back (Ø 180 mm).2. The deflector can be easily retracted for cleaning.3. The fireplace can be equipped (as an additional
options) with a fan to increase air circulation.
This fan is easily accessible for maintenance of the interior of the oven.
Service hatch is not required.4. Direct communication with outside air, even during operation
ovens on open fire. BUILT-IN BBQ µM Firebox in BBQ mode provides a completely new way of cooking, which is as follows: the food being cooked is not laid out in a horizontal position above the embers, but is located in front of the flames. Foods are cooked under radiant heat and unlike horizontal grilling, the melted fat does not cause flashes of flame. It takes a matter of seconds to install the grill in the firebox. The stainless steel fat and juice drip tray allows you to turn over cooked food without contaminating the floor of the oven or the floor in the room. Odors from cooking do not spread throughout the house, but are removed through the chimney.PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICSThe µM firebox design is designed in accordance with the requirements of the strictest European standards and quality marks: DIN + (Germany), 15A (Austria), etc. .A distinctive feature of this firebox is that it retains its performance characteristics even when operating at half power (50% of the rated power). This also applies to the performance of the furnace in terms of emissions of carbon monoxide, fine particles and aerosols (Austrian Standard 15A)
Specifications:
ionosfera specialists, developing interior design of country houses and cottages, offer customers to use µM firebox not only as the most efficient and energy-efficient heating and cooking system, but also as a stylish piece of furniture.

The professional development of three-room apartment interior design is quite in demand and popular today. And there is nothing surprising in this! After all, it is a three-room apartment, as a rule, that has a fairly large area, which is why a number of additional difficulties arise in the process of searching for new solutions and developing a design project.
The design of a three-room apartment, as well as design of a 2-room apartment or a one-room apartment, has its own characteristics. So, for example, in the process of creating a design project for a small-sized “one-room apartment”, the designer needs to use literally every square centimeter of the area for the good of the cause. The dimensions of a three-room apartment provide a unique opportunity for global experiments with layout, interior, finishing materials, furniture, accessories, etc.
However, the impressive size of the “three rubles” at the same time requires the designer to have special skills and professionalism. Indeed, in this case, it is necessary not only to give each room an individual look, but also to unite them with a common style, a single leitmotif of a certain solution. Therefore, it is almost impossible to master such a task without sufficient experience.
When designing a three-room apartment, it is important to take into account many nuances. Every moment is important: the layout, the number of windows, their location relative to the cardinal points, the presence of a balcony or loggia, etc. The opinions of the designers are unanimous that it is most difficult to work with apartments in which all rooms are adjacent. However, this problem is also quite simply solved with the help of such a design technique as redevelopment, as well as by transferring internal partitions and walls.
When developing a three-ruble note interior project, the designer first of all takes into account how many people plan to live in it. Of course, the design of an apartment in which only one person will live is much easier to develop, because the space of the apartment was initially divided into several isolated zones. In such a case, the largest room can be equipped for relaxation and receiving guests, the second – for a bedroom, and the third, for example, for a study.
For a family consisting of only two people, in such an apartment you can create a true paradise – a spacious living room, a cozy boudoir bedroom, and also make an office, guest room or a compact gym. If several generations live in the apartment at the same time, then the interior design concept of the “three rubles” will be fundamentally different. After all, the designer needs to provide separate rooms for parents and children, as well as rooms in which all households can gather. As a rule, in such cases, such a design technique is used as combining the kitchen and living room into a single whole.
To develop the design of a 3-room apartment, they begin with those rooms that are most often used by family members: kitchen, bathroom, living room, corridor. It is here that the designer needs to take into account the wishes of each of the household members as much as possible, select the necessary finishes, furniture, etc.
If we talk about the style of the interior of a three-room apartment, then there is no single standard technique. Depending on individual preferences, the design of a three-room apartment can be made in a classic, ethnic or romantic style, as well as in high-tech, art deco or country style. You can also use the details of several stylistic directions in the interior at the same time.
In any case, before contacting interior designer, look at thematic websites, magazines or books on interiors, mark the most interesting for yourself solutions, so that later it would be easier for you to express your wishes, and the specialist could create a really comfortable and cozy space for your family to live.
Interior design is one of the most important stages in the process of renovating an apartment. The comfort and coziness in your apartment directly depends on how competently the interior design project is developed.
In order for apartment interior design to fully satisfy all your requirements, you should trust its development to professionals. After all, only a true expert in his field will be able to bring to life all your ideas and wishes, while not disregarding the side of the aesthetic perception of space and the aspect of functionality.
Living in a beautiful, comfortable apartment, enjoying a pleasant environment, as well as organizing the living space as rationally as possible – all this can be done only as a result of a competent and thoughtful approach to apartment design. Unfortunately, many of us believe that we can handle this difficult task ourselves and independently develop the interior design of our own home. However, few people know that in order to develop the design of an apartment on their own, it is necessary to study a lot of specialized literature, clearly think over the entire course of repair work, present, or better execute a project on paper or electronic media, so that in the future the repair team or you yourself can perform everything that was planned and control the progress of work.
Of course, your independent design and repair achievements will not create an additional line in the estimate of repair costs. But as they say, a miser pays twice, and a free apartment design may well become another problem for you, the solution of which will be quite expensive. Therefore, so that after the repair you do not have to puzzle over how to create more comfortable conditions, you should decide in advance to whom you entrust the development of the interior of your own apartment. Moreover, a truly original, stylish design always requires a professional approach. After all, only an experienced specialist is able to present you the project in the smallest detail, as well as a clear estimate of its implementation even before the start of direct repair work. Otherwise, it will be almost impossible to avoid rework, additional financial costs and loss of time.
Interior design of apartments is a responsible and time-consuming task. The physical and psychological comfort of homeowners largely depends on how correctly it will be executed and developed. Shaping interior design always involves the correct use of accents. And for each apartment they will be different.
The interior design of a studio apartment, small apartment or “Khrushchev” has several main tasks at once:
If the design of panel apartments, studio apartments, small-sized or other types of apartments is developed by a specialist with experience and an excellent reputation, all these troubles can be easily avoided. In addition, he will be able to think over and implement any idea in the interior, including original “freehand” solutions, and guarantee a positive result in the end.
Trust the interior design of your apartment to professionals, and the result will pleasantly surprise you!
Progressive trends in the development of building and finishing materials for apartment design and houses affect the entire range of such products. Let’s highlight one of the areas – parquet – and consider what innovations are observed here. The development of the global parquet fashion is steadily moving towards increasing the size of the parquet element. It should be noted that not every house and, especially, not every room can be fitted with large-format parquet. Usually a room of 20 sq.m looks harmonious with a maximum lamella size of 90 * 1100mm. A larger size, taking into account the installation of furniture, carpets and other interior items, will simply be lost. In rooms with an area of more than 40 sq.m, one of the most stylish solutions will be parquet with a size of 180 * 2000mm. However, there are even more unique solutions for large halls – this is gigantic parquet. Here are just some of the facts. The length of the Villa parquet board can reach 14 meters (!!!). Width – from 200mm to 550mm. Such products are used both in the restoration of ancient European castles, and to create unique interiors in country style, loft, and ethnic style. The Austrian company Signatur is the oldest manufactory in the world, producing gigantic massive boards. To give greater stability, they use a technology in which raw materials from oak edged boards are thoroughly dried for 6 months, and then subjected to planing. After exposure in a special chamber, re-planing is carried out, which guarantees absolute accuracy of geometric dimensions. Separately, it must be said about the thickness. With a width of 270 mm or more, manufacturers strongly recommend a massive board with a thickness of 25 mm or more for our latitude. A hall with such parquet will look simply fantastically stylish and modern. The variety of color solutions will please the most demanding consumer. For example, a combination of thermowood with white pores or natural oak parquet with blackened “defects”. Also in the tool kit of modern parquet production there are a lot of options, and the most popular today of them are deep 3D brushing and applying various patterns, filling cracks with colored sealants.
to name a parquet made of very old wood, usually from elements of houses of the 16th-18th centuries. It is not only prestigious, but also practical. Such parquet does not react to climate changes in the room, it is resistant to changes in temperature and humidity.
The second, no less interesting innovation is the successful launch by the Dutch company Bolefloor of the production of large-sized curved parquet from an array of valuable rocks tree. Several projects have already been successfully implemented. The quality and accuracy of manufacturing elements is confirmed.
Of course, work is carried out only for projects with a minimum volume of 20 sq.m. The project is implemented within 3-4 weeks, and its technological map will be stored at the plant for 10 years (in case the element needs to be re-executed). The maximum length of the boards reaches 3000 mm with a width of 150-300 mm (there are natural fluctuations in the width). Solid wood thickness – 20 mm or 13 mm, multilayer parquet – 18 mm or 15 mm. By special order, boards up to 6000 mm long and up to 450 mm wide are made.
The described innovations in parquet fashion in interior design of apartments and houses give the premises an unsurpassed individuality and beauty.
The life of a modern person is full of stress, fuss and anxiety. Therefore, the apartment often becomes the only place where each of us can feel calm and as secure as possible. Comfort and coziness in the apartment largely depend on the design of its interior. After all, there is nothing worse when housing does not meet our requirements and taste, and the layout of the apartment and its decoration do not meet individual preferences. In this case, only a professionally executed interior design can help.
In modern practice, interior design appears to be a unique way to create a cozy, comfortable space in which every detail is in harmony with the rest of the furnishings, and in general it fully meets the preferences of its owner.
There are several basic rules that should be considered when developing interior design for apartments of various styles and purposes:
These rules are extremely important for a harmonious combination of functionality and aesthetics of housing.
It may seem that the process of creating apartment design does not include anything complicated. However, a serious approach to the implementation of a truly comfortable interior often leads us to a dead end. There are doubts about what materials are better to use, what furniture to choose, what color to choose, textiles, accessories … In the future, many other controversial issues arise in practice. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that the concept of “apartment design” is more than capacious and contains a lot of nuances.
The process of developing a comprehensive apartment design project consists of several successive stages:
The purpose of the first stage is to develop an interior design project, as well as to collect all the information necessary for the implementation of the project about the functional purpose of the object, family composition, owners’ preferences, etc.
The development of the design project is transferred only after the approval of the terms of reference. Design project of an apartment allows you to see how the room will look like, what lighting, furniture, accessories, textiles, etc. The design project can be absolutely anything, it all depends on the tastes and preferences of the owner of the apartment. It can be made in the style that is closest to you, for example, classic, art deco, hi-tech, modern, eclectic, or combine the details of several directions at once.
Then the most ambitious process begins – the direct implementation of the project in the interior. In each case, the result of the work carried out directly depends on what materials were used and how accurately all the requirements of the design project were met.
The design of apartments, photos of which you can find in various thematic publications and on our website, is a complex process, which can best be carried out by people with professional education and experience in this field. If everything is done correctly, it allows you to create an original interior, which is always based on the comfort and preferences of the apartment owners.
When developing design of an apartment or house, one of the first questions that arises is about the kitchen and, accordingly, which wall panel to use in the work surface area.
The wall panel in the kitchen, the so-called kitchen apron, is a panel that closes the wall from the countertop to the wall cabinets.
The following requirements are imposed on the apron: so that it is easy to wash, does not scratch, does not crack, is not afraid of moisture, goes well with kitchen furniture, as well as walls, so that the apron is the highlight of your kitchen and looks bright and catchy against the background of everything around.
All these requirements are met by decorative acrylic panels with natural filling as leaves, marine stars and shells, herbs, flowers, stones and much more that nature has to offer us.
Acrylic panels have an aesthetic appearance, are easy to process and install.
Excellent light transmission of the panel allows you to illuminate the panel, both from the ends and from the wall. In this case, the apron will play the role of not only a beautiful practical panel that closes the wall, but at the same time it is a lamp that will add coziness to your kitchen.
If the wall at the installation site of the apron is not painted and has an unaesthetic appearance, the installation of a transparent acrylic panel is carried out with preliminary gluing of a self-adhesive colored film. A huge range of colors will make the apron an excellent continuation of the kitchen and become that very bright highlight in the interior.
Comparing acrylic panels with glass, it can be noted that they are 2 times lighter than glass, 5 times stronger than glass, and in case of destruction they do not form sharp fragments.
Acrylic panels are an environmentally friendly product, there is a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion and are recommended for use in premises of any purpose.
Finishing materials of the future – what are they? How do they differ from the usual and traditional ones? And how much more acceptable are they for finishing apartments, renovating a new building or performing an elite renovation? Let’s try to answer these questions…
Before starting any repair, each of us makes an estimate. What will be the estimate for the repair of an apartment or house, office or industrial premises, depends solely on preferences for the quality of work and the type of finishing materials. These preferences can be many. But we are united in the main thing: we all want finishing materials to be as affordable as possible, as durable and safe as possible.
These are the finishing materials of the new generation. And if earlier a tree that does not burn, glass that does not break, and tiles that do not break upon impact were fantastic, today they can be used to carry out a major overhaul of apartments and offices, build cottages and forget about the need for updates in interior.
So, what finishing materials of the “future” can be used in repair of an apartment or cottage? Here are a few examples of such materials that are gaining popularity in the construction market from year to year.
The main distinguishing feature of these and other new generation finishing materials is their safety. They are made from environmentally friendly components, thereby contributing to the creation of a clean living or working space. And besides, the service life of these materials usually exceeds 25 years. Agree, a fairly respectable indicator for interior decoration.
How much do you think it is possible to reduce the consumption of electricity and heat in a house or office if modern energy-saving techniques are applied? At 5, 10, 15%? Didn’t guess. Energy-saving technologies introduced into the design or decoration of a building for any purpose can increase its energy efficiency up to 70%. Impressive? Undoubtedly.
Energy efficiency measures are included in the overhaul of an apartment or at the design stage are provided during the construction of cottages. With high-quality performance, they provide a critical reduction in the thermal conductivity of structures: walls, ceilings, roofs, windows, etc. They also take into account the amount of energy consumed for daily household needs.
It is important to understand that it is impossible to make your home energy efficient by doing just finishing work. But by including one or more options for energy-saving techniques in the apartment renovation estimate, you will achieve amazing results. At the same time, the cost of repairing an apartment will depend on their varieties.
To achieve the maximum effect, the complex use of several technologies is possible. But the decision regarding this or that technique, which can be used in your case, should be taken only by a specialist. Otherwise, you risk wasting money and not seeing the expected effect.
It’s no secret that glass has long been a key element in building architecture and interior design. Today, a glass house is not a figment of the imagination, but a reality! Moreover, everything can be made of glass, from tables and chairs to floors and roofs.
For the manufacture of glass doors and partitions, tempered glass with a thickness of 8-12mm is used. Glass can be clear, tinted or patterned. Doors can be hinged or sliding.
In the manufacture of glass doors and partitions, special fittings for all-glass structures are used. The color of the accessories can be any. Standard colors: polished and brushed stainless hardware. These glassware are more suitable for interior design high-tech and minimalist.
Glass floors today are a sought-after attribute in interior design of apartments, office and shopping centers. Glass floors are made of laminated glass – triplex. Triplex is two or more panes of glass glued together. Glass can be clear, tinted or patterned. Such floors look even more beautiful and unusual if you use internal LED lighting.
Glass tables, tables, reception stands are made of glass 12-19mm thick. Glass can be clear, tinted or patterned. Thanks to the UV bonding of the glass, the tables have no visible fasteners and look airy. Another advantage of such tables is the lack of restrictions in size. Product dimensions can be customized for any interior project.
Glass stairs and railings will add lightness and elegance to any room. These stylish and modern designs have long been an integral attribute of country houses and shopping centers. There are no stylistic restrictions for glass stairs. You can create a project and make a staircase that is equally well suited for both classic and modern interiors.
Glass shower cabins are made of glass 8-10 mm thick. In the manufacture of shower cabins, specialized moisture-resistant fittings are used. Hardware color: polished or brushed chrome. Glasses can be tinted, satin and patterned. Such shower cabins are exclusive and belong to the category of author’s works.
Additional opportunities for using glass in the design and creation of interiors for apartments and houses can be found in the section Decorative glass.

Modern interior design is an incredibly flexible and malleable direction in design art, in which old rules are easily replaced by new ones. What yesterday looked out of place and was considered bad manners in it, tomorrow becomes original, bright and organic. In contemporary art interior design there are many directions and styles, which gives each of us the opportunity to use the characteristic features of different cultures and architectural currents. Depending on your preferences, you can choose any style and apply it in the interior as a whole, or take only individual details from it and create your own unique interior that will express your inner world as much as possible, as well as ideas of comfort and beauty.
If the question of choosing the style of the interior of an apartment is important for you, you will probably be interested to know what styles are most relevant today. To create original and one-of-a-kind interiors, designers use various apartment design styles, among which there are several main ones: traditional, historical , ethnic, modern and country.
In interior design, the traditional style is the most common. Its characteristic feature is a mixture of strict solemnity and everyday simplicity, and the degree of the former is quite easily reduced with the help of unusual accessories. In the interior, the traditional style is represented by antique furniture in brown and red tones, natural leather, expensive natural fabrics in discreet light and dark tones with floral or geometric prints. The most commonly used traditional styles are English and French.
Modern style is the most functional and comfortable. Often it seems ordinary, but it is not so at all. Modern interior design apartments create a combination of bright colors, clear lines and a fairly large number of accessories from different styles and eras – from retro and urban to chic style. The modern style is characterized by the use of metal, polished natural wood, ceramic tiles. Today, such modern styles as hi-tech, art deco, minimalism, techno and kitsch are most often embodied in interiors.
The historical style is characterized by a commonality of images, means and creative techniques that existed in a certain historical era. An apartment decorated in this style, as a rule, emphasizes the success and high social status of its owner. However, it is for certain impossible to reproduce the historical style in a modern interior. Modern technology, designs and materials absolutely do not fit into the historical context. Therefore, today the historical style in the interior appears only as a stylization of one or another architectural trend.
This style is characterized by the use of natural finishing materials, furniture made of precious woods, expensive fabrics, sculptures and paintings. Today, such historical styles as Empire, Rococo, Gothic, Classicism, Baroque are popular.
Ethnic style is the embodiment in the interior of the national characteristics of various countries, due to their cultural traditions, geographical location and climate. The interior, stylized in ethnic style, contains the beauty of the sky, the brightness of the sun, the greenery of the grass, the transparency of the water and the warmth of the earth. African, Indian, Scandinavian, Japanese – these many other ethnic styles are embodied in the design of apartments today.
Country style is a soft style that can create a welcoming atmosphere of warmth and comfort in absolutely any room. Subdued pastel colors, “clunky” light wood furniture, vintage printed fabrics, floral prints are the hallmarks of a country-style interior.
In theory, this list of styles is exhaustive. But no one forbids you to experiment and create something new in your apartment. And let your interior be truly comfortable!
