Lake House in Latvia
Interior Design Buro By Alena Bulataya and Maria Brish have implemented lake house decorating ideas and provided interior design services for the house in Latvia, located on the slope of a forest and a lake shore at the same time.
The lake house owner and his family live in several countries, so he took his time with the project implementation: about 9 years have passed from the initial stage to a fully finished lake house interior with home decor.
The family had been looking for a suitable plot of land for a long time: the owner wanted to build a house in the woods, and his wife dreamed of a house by the beautiful lake. As a result, there was a place that combined both. The house has its own pond, surrounded from the west by an impressive, picturesque forest. From the eastern facade, you can admire the lake view.
There is enough space for creativity and design ideas: the house area is more than 790 m2 and includes four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a spacious common area with an outdoor terrace, an office, and a swimming pool located in the basement of the lake house, along with a wine room, a lounge area and a billiard room.
The designers decorated the simple, monochrome, air-filled spaces in a calm color palette with a carefully selected collection of paintings and art objects brought from different countries. With an abundance of decor ideas, the lake house interior does not look cluttered, but on the contrary, gives an impression of an airy and fresh space.
LIVINGROOM / KITCHEN
The entrance to the house begins with a glass hallway, which opens a view of the living room with a high sloping ceiling, combined with the kitchen and dining area. One of the walls of the room seems to dissolve, letting into the house interior a picturesque area with plantings and a pond, and opening a view of the forest. The living room is separated from the kitchen and dining room by several columns, which are important structural supports and, at the same time, decor ideas and zoning elements. The dining area is light-flooded thanks to several windows.
Right in the center of the living room is an important lighting element – the fireplace. Its facades are lined with a thin slice of marble, which, letting in the light, floods the living room with soft light throughout the entire facade – from floor to ceiling.
The kitchen looks airy and laconic, and there is an elevator for transporting various things, and it connects all three floors of the house. You won’t find an extractor hood over the hob – it’s changed beyond recognition, although it performs its function.
TERRACE
From the main hallway you can access the guest room and the bathroom. The guest bathroom looks playful due to the unusual shape of the washbasin and a picturesque wall made of natural white stone.
QUEST ZONE

The guest room is made in a more contrasting palette. The angular mirror above the faceted chest of drawers and bold paintings add special charisma to it.
The first and second floors are united by an elegant angular staircase. It leads to an airy hallway and several private rooms. In the lobby, a large painting in the style of street art is on one wall, on the opposite side, there is an accent chair.
MASTER Bedroom
The isolated area is the master’s and includes a bedroom, a dressing room, and a bathroom.
At first glance, the bathroom interior design looks ascetic: the walls are lined with natural matte stone, but when the lights are turned on in some parts, you may see 3d-volume in the form of waves, which gives the room a special charm. Soft textiles, airy lighting, and an unusually shaped double washbasin add to the romance.

The geometric staircase to the lake house basement is accompanied by concealed wall lighting. The basement hosts a billiard room, a lounge area, a swimming pool, and other rooms. They are all united by an angular design resembling clefts in the rock. This effect creates the impression of being underground where the light can only penetrate through the cracks.
