We are sure that you do not know all American politicians. We do not know all of our own people. However, there are those of them whose, if not names, then persons, are known to the majority. For example, Benjamin Franklin. This is because his portrait adorns the $ 100 banknote.
...............................................................................................................................................
How did Franklin deserve this honor? He alone secured with his signature all three of the most important documents for America - the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of Versailles, which ended the war for the independence of the American states from Great Britain. Benjamin Franklin, like Leonardo da Vinci, who lived before him, was one of the most famous and successful polymates, a man whose interests and activities were not limited to one area. Judge for yourself - Franklin designed the Great Seal of the United States, invented bifocals and a lightning rod, improved the rocking chair, explored the Gulf Stream and lightning. And this is just a small fraction of his interests.
...............................................................................................................................................
Franklin was the first to think of placing a fireplace in the center of the room, lengthening the chimney to increase the heated area, and turning it into a cast iron stove. Later, his compatriot Earl Rumford in the 18th century made the firebox higher and the shape of the chimney more streamlined, which made it possible to build the fireplace directly into the wall.
...............................................................................................................................................
The fireplace is one of the oldest human inventions, which accompanied him from the very first attempts made in the Stone Age to build and heat housing. In the Middle Ages, the fireplace was the lot of nobles, and in the dwellings of commoners it appeared in the 15-16 centuries. It served not only to heat the room, but also to prepare food. This is how the concept of a hearth was formed, not only a place where you can warm up and eat, but also places where people are always waiting for you.
...............................................................................................................................................
Perhaps, with the desire to return to the days when every house had a fireplace, and, therefore, the warmth of a meeting, the increased number of our customers who want a fireplace in their home is connected. So "time is money," as Benjamin Franklin once wrote. It is he who owns these words, which he wrote in 1748 in his work "Advice to a Young Merchant".
...............................................................................................................................................
Time is money, let's not waste it and see how the best interior designers in Kiev, designers of the Belik studio, have integrated a fireplace into a modern space. And in order not to waste time, call our studio, we will tell you about the cost of an apartment design project, what is the price for apartment renovation in Kiev and what is included in the services of an apartment interior designer.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
The apartment is located in a building located on Vaclav Havel Street. Its area is 100.3 square meters. Living room area - 20.5 square meters. We placed the biofireplace in it, installing it in a pilaster made of natural slate.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
Sapphire has been considered a symbol of fidelity since the time when people first noticed it. It was often used in engagement rings. The most famous of these rings is of course Princess Diana's ring. We have chosen a sapphire blue to enliven the calm palette of the entire interior.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
The living room is separated from the rest of the apartment by sliding doors, which look invisible against the background of the wall due to the fact that they were made of the same wood as the wall plates. Sliding doors, especially in public areas, give the room a grand atmosphere, bringing them closer to traditional reception rooms.
...............................................................................................................................................
Many of us love Belgian waffles. Someone is a fan of the Belgian griffins. And our designers prefer Belgian laminate. For the living room interior, we have selected Quick-Step flooring from the Impressive collection. Laminate in classic oak color favorably sets off the darker wood from which the storage systems and wall panels are made.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
A small dining area was organized in the kitchen, since the owners are not inclined to large receptions and spend the evenings three together - the family of our customers consists of a 32-year-old head of the family, his 21-year-old wife and their one-year-old son. Their plans for the future also include a dog that will appear when the child grows up.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
Facade materials allow you to diversify the interior space of the apartment. We suggested using a facade decorative stone from the Königsberg Brik collection of the Ukrainian factory Einhorn for the wall in the kitchen, which has high wear resistance, which is important for the kitchen space, and frost resistance, which is an additional bonus.
...............................................................................................................................................
We have chosen an interesting decorative solution for the kitchen apron. It was painted and then covered with a sheet of glass. The light from the LED strip hidden under the upper kitchen drawers creates an additional play of shadows and reflections.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
We positioned the dressing table so that natural light falls from the left, which is very convenient when working. The owner of the apartment is fond of handicrafts and needs the right lighting for her.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
The area of the bedroom is 17.9 square meters, of which a little more than two square meters we allocated for the built-in wardrobe, which is located to the right of the bed.
...............................................................................................................................................
For the bedroom, a vinyl covering from the Belgian manufacturer Quick-Step of the Pulse Click Plus collection was proposed with a very cute color name - Pure Blush Oak. However, in addition to the name, we were also attracted by its technical characteristics - thanks to the upper protective layer, it is protected from scratches, stains, moisture and abrasions for a long time.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
A house in a house - this is how you can call an installation developed by our designers. They have combined a work and relaxation area under one roof. Roofs created by their imagination.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
The Belgian manufacturer Quick-Step and his Eligna collection in Venice Oak Gray were chosen for the children's room flooring. It has an extra-matte texture, a high level of wear resistance, suitable even for commercial spaces, which is very important for a children's room.
...............................................................................................................................................
To inspire children to be creative, and to reassure parents that the walls will not be covered with drawings, we create a space for kids to draw. The slate paint of the Finnish company Tikkurila helps us in this. It covers the wall with a matte even layer, and children can paint on it as much as their imagination allows.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
For the entrance lobby, matte brown porcelain stoneware from the Ukrainian factory Gold Tile of the Alpina Wood collection was chosen.
...............................................................................................................................................
In a narrower part of the corridor, we put it across to make it visually appear wider than it really is. The pronounced stripes of porcelain stoneware harmonize with the light stripes created by the LED strips.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
This interior has a distinct industrial flavor. This is due to the owner's passion for technology. We accentuated it with simple doors that we used to install in repair hangars and warehouses.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
It so happened that the finishing coatings for this apartment were divided between Ukrainian and Belgian factories. The bathroom is no exception. Ukrainian brands helped us create a modern interior with a touch of industrial chic.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
The bright brown tiles of the Yasmin collection in brown color were created by the Ukrainian factory Cersanit. It looks even more "fiery" against the background of cold gray tiles.
...............................................................................................................................................
The gray floor tiles imitating the texture of natural stone were also created by the Ukrainian factory Cersanit. In this case we have chosen the Desto collection in graffite color.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
The head of the family is fond of cycling. For him, we created a bicycle storage rack in the dressing room.
...............................................................................................................................................
He also needed a place to store tools, climbing equipment. We combined this space with a dressing room.
...............................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................
In a small bathroom located right at the entrance, we created the necessary plumbing installation and organized a place for a washing machine and for storing washed linen.
...............................................................................................................................................
The impressive floor tiles, whose texture is identical to natural onyx, were created by the Ukrainian factory Golden Tile. It is part of a collection with the expected name Onyx Classic.
...............................................................................................................................................
The layout of this apartment clearly defines the public areas where guests will enter, and private ones, which are located on the left side of the apartment, and where access will be open only to its residents.
