After all, in such a room you can take over from prying eyes, to make yourself smart or try with new hairstyle and makeup. For such purposes, a room of un usual form has been decorated.

Century-Old History and Modernity

Unusual symbiosis of various styles and trends have made the dressing room lovely and unique at the same time. It joins the Greek meander, decoration of the wall with the mosaic, being inherent in this style, and a large glass vase in Minimalism style. Oriental theme: arabesques, ceiling mural painting with floral motifs and monochrome fresco of the Renaissance era. Majestic fireplace portal in the Empire style and geometric floor layout.

Naturalness and Beauty

Neutral color scheme has been ideally fit for decoration. Iconic elements, parts, decorative techniques do not dominate, not distract attention. This is exactly what was necessary: to be surrounded by beauty, which becomes the background, but not an attractive picture.

Classical Decorating Techniques

The room is not very high, but of non-standard round shape. To make it higher and more harmoniously, the experience gained over the years have been applied. A part of the ceiling has been painted into white color, and the center has been decorated with mural painting. This technique has served to change the perspective, and a part of the ceiling has become continuation of the wall. In addition, the walls are decorated with vertical friezes with Oriental ornament painting, this has divided the space, made it more harmonious, feeling of closed space has disappeared. At the same time, these improvised columns have visually raised the ceiling and have made the walls higher.

An interesting backlighting method has been applied. Spotlights mounted on the mirror frame, give remarkable lighting. This is exactly what is necessary for applying proper makeup.

Eclecticism is an interesting style that subtly gathers in various trends. But it is not possible to take and just for no reason to combine the ceiling mural painting of certain theme and the grandmother's dresser, classical fireplace portals and décor elements in the style of Pop Art. The Interior has not turned into kitsch, knowledge of the history of styles, their basic principles, delicate taste and mastery have been applied.
