- Conclusion: the house as a symphony where every element knows its part
A house is not a box with separate rooms. A house is an organism where the facade and interior are connected by invisible threads of visual language. Polyurethane window casings on the facade and molding frames on living room walls repeat the same profile. The cornice under the roof and the interior ceiling cornice rhyme in width and proportions. Balusters of the staircase leading from the porch into the house and balusters of the interior staircase between floors are turned on the same lathe, from the same oak, by the same craftsman.Modern furniture to buyand place in a living room with panoramic windows, framed outside bypolyurethane molding for house facades— means creating a dialogue between interior and exterior space, where architecture speaks one language of forms. In this article, we explore how facade molding connects with interior finishing, how modern furniture combines with classical architectural elements, how a staircase becomes a bridge between exterior and interior, how wooden baseboard completes the composition from inside, echoing the plinth outside. Prepare for a journey beyond the usual division into facade and interior. Prepare for integrity.
The facade as the business card of the house's philosophy
Molding for facades: windows as the eyes of architecture
Windows are not technical openings in a wall. Windows are the eyes of a house, through which it looks at the world and through which the world looks at it. Framing windows with facade molding transforms a technical opening into an architectural element with character, style, and emotion.
Classical window framing scheme: casings on the sides and top of the opening (vertical planks 150-250 mm wide with a cavetto + torus profile or more complex relief), a window sill cornice at the bottom (a horizontal plank 180-300 mm wide, projecting 80-120 mm from the facade, protecting the wall under the window from running water while simultaneously creating a visual base for the window), a keystone in the center of the top casing (a decorative trapezoidal element 250-400 mm high, projecting 40-80 mm from the plane of the casing, imitating the central stone of an arch).
The profile of casings and the window sill cornice must be coordinated with the overall style of the house. For a house in a neoclassical style (restrained proportions, symmetry, moderate decor): casings with a cavetto + torus profile, without abundant ornamentation. For a house in the Art Nouveau style (flowing lines, asymmetry, floral ornaments): casings with a wavy profile, floral ornamentation. For a modern minimalist house (clean lines, geometry, absence of decor): casings with a rectangular cross-section without a profile or with a single 45° bevel.
Installation of facade molding is performed using polyurethane adhesive + mechanical fasteners (anchors, dowels through the element into the wall). Joints between elements (casing corners, the joint between casing and window sill cornice) are filled with weather-resistant sealant, which is sanded after drying, making the joint invisible. All molding is painted with facade acrylic or silicone paint (two-three coats), which protects the polyurethane from UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
Color of facade molding: white (classic, contrasts with any wall color), matching the wall color (creates relief without color contrast, more restrained), contrasting (dark gray casings on light beige walls, creates a graphic effect). The choice depends on the desired degree of expressiveness: white molding on a colored facade is maximally noticeable, molding matching the wall color is noticeable only by its relief.

Cornices and portals: horizontals and entrance accents
The facade cornice under the roof is a horizontal element 300-500 mm wide, running along the perimeter of the house at the junction of the wall and roof. Functions: protects the upper part of the wall from water running off the roof, visually completes the facade from above, creates a horizontal line that ties disparate vertical elements (windows, pilasters) into a unified composition.
The profile of the facade cornice should be complex: several levels (cavetto, torus, shelf, dentils or modillions). The taller the building, the wider and more complex the cornice (for a two-story house with wall height 6-7 meters, cornice 350-400 mm; for a three-story house with wall height 9-10 meters, cornice 450-500 mm). A narrow cornice on a tall building gets lost and fails to create the necessary termination.
The cornice is installed on brackets or modillions (decorative consoles, projecting 120-180 mm from the wall, on which the cornice visually rests, although physically it is attached to the wall with anchors). Modillions spaced 80-120 cm apart create rhythm and enhance monumentality. The space between modillions can be filled with dentils (a row of small rectangular projections) or left smooth.
The entrance portal is the framing of the entrance door, turning it into an architectural accent. A classical portal consists of: pilasters or columns on the sides of the door (vertical elements from the level of the porch to a point above the door where the pediment or arch begins), an entablature above the door (a horizontal projection resting on the capitals of the pilasters), a pediment (a triangular or semicircular finishing element above the entablature).
The portal creates a sense of grandeur, emphasizes the main entrance, and sets the scale for the entire facade. Portal height: 2.8-4.5 meters (depends on building height), width: 1.8-2.8 meters (depends on door width + side offsets). A portal that is too narrow looks disproportionate, one that is too wide is overwhelming.

Material for facade molding: why polyurethane
Polyurethane for facade molding possesses characteristics critical for exterior application:
Moisture resistance: polyurethane does not absorb water (water absorption less than 1% by volume), does not rot, does not deform from getting wet. Plaster molding on a facade deteriorates within one or two seasons (plaster absorbs water, freezes, expands, cracks).
Frost resistance: withstands more than 200 freeze-thaw cycles without loss of strength. For the Russian climate (winter with temperatures down to -30°C, multiple freeze-thaw cycles) this is critical.
Light weight: density of facade polyurethane is 400-600 kg/m³ (compared to 1200-1800 kg/m³ for plaster, 2200-2600 kg/m³ for concrete). Lightweight elements create less load on the wall, are easier to install (a 2-meter long cornice made of polyurethane weighs 12-18 kg, of plaster 40-65 kg, of concrete 70-110 kg).
Dimensional stability: polyurethane does not shrink, does not expand from temperature (coefficient of linear expansion 0.00012 per degree Celsius, which with a temperature change from -30°C to +50°C results in a length change of a 2-meter element of only 1.9 mm — practically unnoticeable).
Durability: with proper installation and painting, it lasts 40-60 years without deformations, delamination, or cracking.
Interior as a continuation of the architectural theme
Modern furniture: functional base
The interior begins with furniture.Modern furniture to buyand placing it in the living room means creating a functional base onto which architectural decor (moldings, cornices, baseboards) is overlaid.
Modular sofa 3.2 meters long (four elements: two straight 90 cm each, one corner, one ottoman), raised on metal legs 15 cm high, upholstery gray textile or light beige leather. Modularity allows changing the configuration (today a corner sofa, tomorrow two straight sofas for different zones). Being raised on legs creates visual lightness, air under the sofa, ease of cleaning.
Shelving unit 2.6×2.0 meters made of a black metal frame and oak veneer shelves. An open shelving unit (without doors, all shelves visible) creates transparency, does not overload the space, allows for displaying books, decorative objects, plants. The shelving unit stands against a wall, above which molding frames are installed — the shelving unit fills the lower zone of the wall, the moldings structure the upper zone.
Coffee table diameter 100 cm, tabletop of white marble 20 mm thick, three thin metal brass legs. The round shape softens the geometry of the rectangular sofa and shelving unit, marble adds luxury, brass legs create a connection with possible gilding of molding elements (if the molding is partially gilded).
TV console width 2.0 meters, wall-mounted (attached to the wall, without visible supports, floating effect), fronts smooth white enamel with a push-to-open system (no handles). The console is visually light, does not overload the wall, above which a molding frame or cornice can be installed.
Moldings on walls: minimalist frames
In an interior with modern furniture, moldings should be restrained: not abundant Baroque ornamentation, but clean geometric profiles. Molding 60-80 mm wide with a simple profile (one cavetto or one 45° bevel) creates frames on walls sized 100×140 cm, 120×160 cm, arranged symmetrically.
Inside the frames, the wall is painted the same color as outside the frames (relief without color contrast) or in a contrasting color (inside the frame dark gray, outside light gray). The molding is painted white. Effect: the wall is structured, has architectural depth, but is not overloaded with decor, which corresponds to the minimalism of modern furniture.
The profile of interior moldings should echo the profile of the casings on the facade. If facade casings have a cavetto profile, interior moldings should also have a cavetto (can be slightly simpler, but stylistically related). This creates a connection between the facade and the interior at the level of details.
Ceiling Cornice: The Interior Echo of the Façade
A ceiling cornice 120-150 mm wide is installed around the perimeter of the living room. The cornice profile should be proportional to the façade cornice: if the façade cornice is 400 mm, the interior one is 140-160 mm (approximately 35-40% of the façade width). If the façade cornice has dentils, the interior one should also have dentils (smaller in size but stylistically identical).
Connection: A person entering the house sees the façade cornice from the outside (looking up at the cornice under the roof), then enters the living room and sees the ceiling cornice (looking up at the cornice under the ceiling). The two cornices are visually linked in proportion and profile, creating a sense that the interior space is a continuation of the external architecture.
Painting: The façade cornice is painted white, the interior cornice is also painted white. Color unity enhances the connection. If the façade cornice is painted the color of the house walls (creating relief without color contrast), the interior cornice is also painted the color of the living room walls.
Transition: How to Physically Link the Façade and Interior
Entrance Area: Porch and Foyer
The porch is the physical transition from the external to the internal space. The architectural design of the porch sets the tone for the entire transition. A porch with a canopy supported by two polyurethane columns (imitation stone columns 300-400 mm in diameter, 2.5-3.0 meters high, with base, shaft, and capital), steps made of stone or porcelain stoneware, railings withbuy balusters turned wooden balusters.
Porch balusters are the first element linking the exterior and interior through material (wood) and shape (turned profile). Porch baluster height is 900-1000 mm (standard for railings), cross-section 60×60 mm or diameter 70-80 mm (if round turned), installation spacing 120-150 mm. Wood is oak or larch (resistant to external influences), finish is exterior oil or varnish with UV filters (protects from sun, moisture).
The shape of the porch balusters should be identical or related to the shape of the interior staircase balusters (if there is a staircase to the second floor in the house). Ideally: balusters are turned on the same machine using the same program, from the same wood species, and coated with the same finish. A person, climbing the porch steps and holding onto the railing with balusters, then entering the house and climbing the interior staircase with identical balusters, feels continuity, a unity of architectural language.
The foyer is the first interior room. It should contain elements that are simultaneously linked to the façade and the interior. The foyer walls are decorated with moldings of the same profile as the moldings in the living room (link to the interior). The foyer baseboard is of the same profile and color as the living room baseboard (link to the interior). But the foyer wall color can be close to the façade color (link to the exterior): if the façade is beige, the foyer walls are light beige, the living room walls are white — a smooth color transition from the façade to the interior through the foyer.
Panoramic Windows: Visual Connection
Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows (or almost to the ceiling, with glass height of 2.4-2.6 meters) create a visual connection between the interior and exterior: sitting on the sofa in the living room, you see the garden, forest, lake outside the window, see the façade molding around the window from the outside, see how the interior space flows into the exterior.
Framing panoramic windows from the inside: no heavy curtains that hide the window architecture. Light transparent curtains made of tulle or no curtains at all (if the property is shielded from prying eyes). Or roller blinds that retract into a box above the window (during the day the window is completely open, in the evening the blind is lowered for privacy).
The molding frame around the panoramic window from the inside (around the perimeter of the opening) should repeat the profile of the exterior window casings. If the exterior casings are 200 mm wide with a profile of ovolo + bead, the interior molding is 80-100 mm wide with the same profile (scale is smaller, but the shape is identical). Effect: the window is perceived as a portal, identically framed on both sides, linking the interior and exterior.
Terrace: Intermediate Space
A terrace is an open or partially covered space adjacent to the house, serving as an intermediate zone between the interior and the garden. The terrace floor is decking (boards of larch, thermally modified wood, or composite), laid with 5-8 mm gaps for water drainage. Terrace railings with balusters identical to those of the porch and interior staircase (connection through element repetition).
Outdoor furniture (sofa, armchairs, table) is placed on the terrace, which should stylistically echo the furniture in the living room. If there is a modern modular sofa on metal legs in the living room, the outdoor sofa on the terrace should also be on a metal frame (stainless steel or aluminum with powder coating), with cushions made of outdoor fabric (acrylic, polyester, resistant to moisture and fading). The shape of the terrace sofa does not have to be identical to the living room sofa, but the style (minimalist forms, clean lines, raised on legs) should match.
The terrace canopy is supported by polyurethane columns or pilasters identical to the columns of the entrance portal (link to the façade). The canopy cornice repeats the profile of the building's façade cornice (link to the façade). A person sitting on the terrace sees above them a cornice identical to the cornice under the house roof, sees columns identical to the portal columns, and feels that the terrace is part of the house's architectural system.
Balusters and Staircase: Vertical Connection
Balusters as a Repeating Motif
A baluster is a vertical railing element filling the space between the handrail and the steps (or floor). Balusters serve two functions: structural (support the handrail, ensure safety, prevent falling from the stairs) and decorative (create rhythm, decorate the staircase, set the style).
In a house where the unity of exterior and interior is maintained, balusters are present in three places: the porch (railing of the entrance stairs), the interior staircase to the second floor, and the second-floor balcony or terrace (if present). All balusters should be identical or related in shape.
Turned oak balusters 70 mm in diameter, 900 mm high, with a profile: base (cylinder 70 mm in diameter, 100 mm high) + transition (cone, tapering from 70 to 50 mm, 80 mm high) + shaft (a series of alternating convex and concave elements — beads, ovolos, barrels, total height 600 mm) + capital (flaring element from 50 to 70 mm, 120 mm high). Such a profile is turned on a lathe using a program in 15-20 minutes per baluster, ensuring the identity of all balusters.
Baluster painting: natural wood under oil (oak retains its golden-brown color, grain is visible), tinted dark brown or black (creates contrast with light steps), painted white (a classic solution where balusters blend with the walls, but rhythm remains due to relief). Important: all balusters (on the porch, interior staircase, balcony) are painted the same, creating color unity.
Interior Staircase: Central Element
A staircase to the second floor in a private house is not a technical object, but a central interior element, often visible from the living room. Staircase structure: stringer (side load-bearing beam on which steps rest) or carriage (saw-toothed load-bearing beam on whose teeth steps are laid), steps (tread — horizontal part, riser — vertical part), railing (balusters + handrail).
Steps made of solid oak 40-50 mm thick, 300-320 mm wide, 1000-1200 mm long (depends on staircase width). Steps are coated with oil or anti-slip varnish. Risers made of solid oak 20-25 mm thick, 180-200 mm high (standard for comfortable ascent), painted white or the color of the steps.
Stringer or carriage made of solid oak 300-350 mm wide, 60-80 mm thick (load-bearing structure, must withstand load). The stringer can be open (visible from the side of the staircase, becomes a decorative element) or closed (covered with panels). An open stringer is painted to match the steps or white.
Balusters are installed with a spacing of 120-150 mm (optimal for safety and visual rhythm). For a staircase with 14 steps (standard for climbing to a height of 2.7-2.8 meters) with a staircase width of 1.0 meter and baluster spacing of 130 mm, approximately 70-85 balusters are needed. The cost of a turned oak baluster is 1200-2200 rubles/piece, totaling 84,000-187,000 rubles for balusters. This is 30-40% of the total staircase cost, but it is the balusters that define the visual impression.
Handrail made of solid oak with a cross-section of 60×90 mm (oval shape, comfortable for hand grip), attached to the balusters from above. The handrail must be smoothly sanded (hand glides without splinters), coated with oil or varnish. The color of the handrail should match the tone of the steps (creates unity among the horizontal elements of the staircase).
Staircase as a connection between the house levels
The staircase connects the first and second floors not only physically but also visually and stylistically. If the first floor has a living room with modern furniture and minimalist moldings, the second-floor bedrooms also have modern furniture and moldings (stylistic unity vertically). The staircase with turned balusters introduces a classical element, which is acceptable on both levels as a connecting link (classical balusters + modern furniture = eclecticism that works if the proportions are coordinated).
wooden skirting for the flooron the first floor and on the second floor must be identical (one profile, one height, one color). The baseboard runs along the perimeter of all rooms, including the second-floor landing where the staircase ends. Visually: the staircase balusters + baseboards on both floors create a system of vertical and horizontal wooden elements that structure the space.
Baseboard: completing the composition from the inside
Height and profile: coordination with the plinth
The house plinth is the lower part of the facade from the ground to the level of the first floor, usually 400-600 mm high, finished with stone, clinker, plaster. Visually, the plinth is the base of the house, heavy, massive, on which the entire building stands.
The baseboard inside the house is an analogue of the exterior plinth: the base of the interior, a horizontal line along the perimeter of all rooms, visually weighing down the bottom on which the interior 'stands'. The height of the baseboard should be proportional to the height of the plinth: if the plinth is 500 mm, the baseboard is 120-140 mm (approximately 25-28% of the plinth height). A baseboard that is too low (60-80 mm) with a high plinth creates imbalance.
Baseboard profile: classical ogee + bead or modern with a single 45° bevel. The choice depends on the interior style (classical profile for interiors with stucco and classical elements, modern profile for minimalist interiors). Important: the baseboard profile should echo the profile of the wall moldings (if the moldings have an ogee, the baseboard should also have an ogee).
Baseboard material: solid oak, beech, ash. Wooden baseboard connects the interior with the wooden staircase balusters through the material, creating unity. MDF baseboard is cheaper but less authentic tactilely, it does not create the same connection with the balusters that solid wood does.
Baseboard painting: color connection
Three main approaches to baseboard painting:
Baseboard in the color of the floor: if the floor is natural oak parquet, the baseboard is natural oak with oil. The baseboard is perceived as an extension of the floor, visually increasing the floor area. A classic option, works in 60-70% of cases.
Baseboard in the color of the walls: if the walls are light gray, the baseboard is painted light gray. The baseboard blends with the walls, creating a single vertical from floor to ceiling, visually increasing the room height. A modern option, works in minimalist interiors.
Contrast baseboard: if the floor is dark oak, the walls are white, the baseboard is white. The baseboard creates a clear boundary between the floor and walls, is graphic, expressive. Works in interiors where clarity of boundaries is important.
Important: the color of the baseboard on the first and second floors (if the house is two-story) must be identical, creating vertical unity.
Baseboard and facade plinth: parallels
Visual parallel: the facade plinth outside is massive, dark (often clad with dark stone, clinker), creating a base. The baseboard inside is high (120-140 mm), dark (if painted the color of a dark floor or stained dark brown), creating a base. Parallel: dark base outside and inside, visually linking the exterior and interior through color and function (base).
Alternative parallel: the facade plinth is light (clad with light stone, plaster), the baseboard is light (painted white or light gray). Parallel: light base outside and inside, creating lightness, airiness.
The choice depends on the overall concept: if the house should be perceived as monumental, solid, heavy, the plinth and baseboard are dark. If the house should be perceived as light, airy, modern, the plinth and baseboard are light.
Frequently asked questions
How to choose the color of facade stucco so that it matches the interior?
If the facade stucco is white (classic), the interior stucco (moldings, cornices) is also white — a direct connection through color. If the facade stucco is the color of the house walls (creates relief without color contrast), the interior stucco can be white (contrast with colored walls) or also the color of the walls (relief without contrast). Golden rule: the same principle of stucco painting outside and inside (if outside is contrast, inside is contrast; if outside is tone-on-tone, inside is tone-on-tone).
Is it mandatory to make the porch balusters and interior staircase balusters identical?
Not mandatory, but desirable for creating unity. If the balusters are identical (shape, material, color), the connection is obvious, read immediately. If the balusters are different but stylistically related (both turned, but different profiles; or one turned, the other carved, but from the same wood of the same color), the connection is subtler but present. If the balusters are completely different (porch metal, interior staircase wooden), there is no connection, the elements are perceived independently.
What height should the baseboard be in a house with modern furniture and facade stucco?
For a modern interior, a baseboard of 100-120 mm is optimal (not too high, does not overload). For an interior with classical elements (moldings, cornices), a baseboard of 120-160 mm is optimal (more massive, agrees with the stucco). Connection with the facade: if the facade plinth is high (500-600 mm), the baseboard is also high (140-160 mm), creating proportionality.
How much does comprehensive design of a 200 m² house with facade stucco, modern furniture, and a staircase with balusters cost?
Facade stucco: casings for 12 windows + entrance portal + cornice under the roof along the house perimeter = 480,000-720,000 rubles (materials + installation + painting). Modern furniture for living room, dining room, three bedrooms: sofas, armchairs, tables, shelving, beds = 1,850,000-3,200,000 rubles. Oak staircase with balusters to the second floor: steps, stringer, 75 balusters, handrail, installation = 520,000-780,000 rubles. Balusters for porch 18 pcs + railings = 65,000-95,000 rubles. Wooden baseboard 180 linear meters (perimeter of all rooms on two floors) + painting = 410,000-560,000 rubles. Interior stucco (wall moldings, ceiling cornices) = 285,000-420,000 rubles. Total 3,610,000-5,775,000 rubles turnkey.
Can polyurethane stucco be used for both the facade and interior simultaneously?
Yes, and it is recommended for creating unity. Facade stucco is made from denser polyurethane (density 500-900 kg/m³, resistant to frost, moisture), interior stucco from less dense (density 250-350 kg/m³, lighter, cheaper). But the profiles of the facade and interior stucco can be identical (the same cornice profile outside and inside, but outside made of dense polyurethane, inside made of lightweight). This creates a visual connection.
How to care for wooden porch balusters (outdoors)?
Porch balusters are coated with facade oil or varnish with UV filters. Care: once a year (in spring) wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt, let dry, apply an additional layer of oil (if oil coating) or varnish (if varnish coating). Oil restores the protective layer, which gradually washes away with rain. Every 5-7 years, complete re-sanding and repainting (if the wood has darkened, the coating has worn out).
Conclusion: a house as a symphony, where every element knows its part
The unity of the house inside and out is not a decorative whim, but a philosophy of integrity. When facade trims and interior moldings speak the same language of profiles. When the facade cornice under the roof and the ceiling cornice in the living room are proportional to each other. When porch balusters and interior staircase balusters are turned on the same lathe. When the color of the facade plinth echoes the color of the floor skirting board. When modern furniture inside combines with minimalist trims outside through a common principle of clean lines.
Creating such unity requires planning at the project stage: an architect or designer must simultaneously design the facade and interior, coordinating profiles, proportions, colors. You cannot first make the facade (hire one company, choose stucco arbitrarily), then do the interior (hire another company, choose moldings arbitrarily) — there will be no connection. A single supplier is needed, who will provide facade stucco, interior stucco, balusters, skirting boards, furniture, coordinating all this into a unified system.
Company STAVROS has been creating homes for over two decades where the exterior and interior are a single organism. Facade stucco made of high-density polyurethane — window trims (width from 150 to 300 mm, profiles from simple to complex with ornaments), window sill cornices (width from 180 to 350 mm, projection from facade 80-150 mm), facade cornices under the roof (width from 300 to 600 mm, with modillions, dentils, complex multi-level profiles), entrance door portals (pilasters, columns, entablatures, pediments), rustication and keystones (imitation of stone masonry). Density of facade polyurethane 500-900 kg/m³, water absorption less than 1%, frost resistance over 200 cycles, durability 50-70 years. Installation is performed by specialized teams using polyurethane adhesive + mechanical fastening with anchors, joints are sealed with weather-resistant compounds, all stucco is painted with facade paints in two to three layers. Cost of facade stucco 1200-4500 rub/m depending on width, complexity, material density.
Interior stucco made of standard density polyurethane — moldings (width from 40 to 150 mm, profiles from simple geometric to complex with ornaments), ceiling cornices (width from 80 to 250 mm, with dentils, modillions, multi-level profiles), rosettes (diameter from 50 to 180 cm, with ornaments from restrained to baroque), pilasters and capitals (height from 2.0 to 3.5 meters). Profiles of interior stucco are coordinated with profiles of facade stucco, creating a visual connection. Cost 380-1800 rub/m depending on width, complexity.
Wooden balusters made of solid oak, beech, larch — turned (diameter from 60 to 90 mm, height from 700 to 1100 mm, profiles from simple cylindrical to complex with alternating beads, fillets, barrels), carved (with plant ornaments, geometric patterns), square planed (cross-section from 50×50 to 80×80 mm, with or without chamfer). Porch balusters are made of larch (resistant to moisture and rot) or oak with facade oil coating. Interior staircase balusters are made of oak or beech with oil or varnish coating. Possibility to manufacture identical balusters for the porch and interior staircase using the same lathe program. Cost 950-3200 rub/piece depending on wood species, diameter, profile complexity.
Wooden skirting boards made of solid oak, beech, ash — height from 80 to 220 mm, profiles from simple (one chamfer) to complex (fillet + bead + grooves), with or without milled ornament. Skirting board is planed, sanded, moisture content 8-10%, ready for installation and finishing. Painting is done in floor color, wall color, or contrasting. Cost 1100-2400 rub/m depending on wood species, height, profile complexity. Painting 600-1200 rub/m.
Modern furniture for all rooms of the house — living rooms (modular sofas, shelving units, coffee tables, TV stands), dining rooms (extendable dining tables, chairs, sideboards), bedrooms (beds, dressers, nightstands, wardrobes), studies (writing desks, armchairs, bookcases). Materials: solid oak, beech, ash with oil or varnish coating, MDF with veneer or enamel coating, metal frames (black, brass, stainless steel), tempered glass, marble, granite for countertops. Styling: minimalism (clean lines, no decor, functionality), Scandinavian style (light wood, simple shapes, coziness), loft (industrial aesthetic, metal + wood), neoclassical (classical proportions + modern materials). Possibility to manufacture furniture according to individual projects considering the architectural features of the house. Cost depends on complexity, dimensions, materials: modular sofa from 185000 rub, shelving unit from 75000 rub, dining table from 95000 rub, bed from 125000 rub.
STAVROS design bureau develops house projects with unity of exterior and interior.
