Dark, Dashing and Full of Surprises: Ravishing Artist’s Apartment in Kyiv

ByMyProperty Life

Modern apartment are spaces that are often filled with neutral hues and you have a curated blend of color and style in here. Most often it is white, light grays and beige that fashion the backdrop and there is no shortage of bright hues in here as well. But this Artist’s Apartment in Kyiv, Ukraine feels drastically different with a dramatic interior that I anchored in deep, dark grays and black. It is more akin to an urbane bachelor pad and yet every room offers something different with textural contrast and edgy decorative elements that leave you pleasantly surprised. It is an apartment that showcases the personality of its homeowner and his taste.

You would normally not expect a home this polished and modern to have unfinished finishes and yet with rugged stone, concrete ceiling and exposed pipes, there is an undeniable industrial flavor in here. This is accentuated by the use of track lights and custom pendant that have a distinct industrial style. Use of deep shades of gray and dark sheer curtains also add to the masculine appeal and for those who are skeptical about using such colors, this apartment showcases the perfect way to do it. It is barely a surprise to find fabulous art pieces in here that have been seamlessly combined with comfortable décor pieces.

  • 1110 apartment

    Measuring just 62m2, the apartment is located in a new building in Hanoi. Every unit of this building is small and is designed for young families. The original plan contains two bedrooms with compressed functions. The whole space is divided into small rooms. The renovated concept is to break the stifling sensation of closed rooms to create a new space where functions intertwine softly, flexibly and the natural light can enter the deepest corners. In the new design, a bedroom is removed to expand living space. A bathroom is converted into the washing room and storage. The balcony became a green space, connecting living space and bedroom. Finishing materials and furniture aim for simplicity, natural and rustication. Furniture are made to serve their very purposes, and not to put pressure on the space. Many old wooden parts have been reconfigured into two tables. Glass is used to show the structure of the tables and to avoid casting shadows on the wooden floor. The indigo plywood cabinet and the yellow cement wall cover the kitchen and are the highlight of the living space. With a small area, good quality of life can be achieved just by balancing the functions in a harmonious way; accepting to abandon some needs and to change our lifestyle.
