Sophisticated interior design depends on a harmony among many different elements. A home needs to use space efficiently, be comfortable for its inhabitants as well as guests, and create this atmosphere with style. By combining sleek modern elements, such as exposed concrete and low profile platform beds, with playful colors and surprising splashes of fun, architect Sergey Makhno has successful turned this Kiev apartment into the perfect sanctuary for a small, urban family.

It doesn’t take a lot of pieces to decorate a modern living room successfully. Just a few stylish ones, starting with the cozy white sofa.

A coffee table made from reclaimed wood is indicative of the warm industrial style that pervades much of the 383 square meter (4000 square foot) home.

A second seating area carries on with the white furniture theme, but uses more angular lines.

These white pieces can be slid around, connected, and moved apart to create different arrangements on a whim.

The oversized art pops against the otherwise black and white palette in this room.

And a makeshift indoor rock garden adds a bit of Asian flair.

A small, uncluttered computer area is conducive to work when necessary but not too distracting during non-work hours.

The dining room takes the required elements – from a large table to overhead lighting – and makes each piece fit within the modern decor, even eschewing a tablecloth.
