This apartment on Budyonny Street in Minsk is from the series "better to see once". Because describing this flight of fancy in words is quite difficult.
Looking at a typical Stalin-era apartment, built in 1955, you would never say that it could be a portal to an alternative reality. The 40 square meters feature such a unique renovation that even "Kufar" decided to make a video review of it.
From the Soviet stairwell, you enter either a Pushkin fairy tale or a fantasy world. The blogger who did the review immediately began to quote: "By the Lukomorye, a green oak tree..." — because part of the apartment is occupied by a voluminous decorative tree. Its roots emerge from the floor, and its branches reach the ceiling.
On one of them, you can see a squirrel figurine. The girl joked that this is the ideal apartment for Snow White.
The walls are painted with scenes of European city streets. You can also see a bas-relief — a headless angel-woman.
The floor is self-leveling — imitating wood. And a huge flower has been created to zone the space. The brick window sills with street names also attract attention.
Against this backdrop, the ceiling, painted like a sky with clouds, is no longer surprising. By the way, you can look at it from a round bed.
However, the kitchen furniture looks traditional — they say it's Italian and very expensive.
The owner, Dmitry, assures that all decorative elements are made by hand. But he cannot characterize the style: he says it's "designer, individual." And he assures: everything looks better in real life than in the photos.
By the way, Dmitry is a future police officer. He studies at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He is asking $89,500 for the one-room apartment.
