These smooth renders, by Anton Valiev, depict an apartment in St.Petersburg awash with a soft neutral palette and a pristine traditional finish.

In the master bedroom suite, feminine fleur-de-lis wallpaper in powder blue freshens cream furniture and trims, along with matching blue bedcover and sofa accent cushions, to tie the whole scheme together from top to toe. The ornate decadence continues across the ceiling with a duo of shaded chandeliers for a cozy glow.

A masculine themed den-cum-study complete with Chesterfield sofa, muted plaid wallcovering, roaring fireplace, and artwork pertaining to world travel and adventure, evokes the secrecy of an old-world gentlemen’s lodge.

Shades of taupe cover the second bedroom, and are lifted by the introduction of wall pattern, and two-tone furniture. The head of the bed is swathed with a romantic canopy, echoing the sheer window dressing and adding further luxury to the scheme.

White painted kitchen cabinets continue the elegant traditional look of the home design whilst still housing all of the required mod cons like an integrated chrome coffee maker. Wall paneling is picked out in cream to brighten the biscuit tone walls and curtains.

Even a cloakroom is given a statement look in more of the striking plaid pattern, which compliments the deep wood tones and classic style of sanitary ware.

Classic furniture fills a lavish master bathroom suite, taking the decor back to a bygone era, whilst the mirror shine of chrome fixtures and fittings brings a freshness, and prevents the décor from appearing outdated.
