Striking design statements sharpen the layout of this 250 square metre apartment, located in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Designed by Almaty Vilnius Architects, the space is arranged around hero pieces that captivate the eye and engage the imagination. Whilst the home decor scheme is primarily a clean and crisp white backdrop, colourful accents of blue, yellow and green create a ripple in the calm setting. The home boasts a stylish living/dining room combo, a large dining kitchen complete with breakfast table and an island bar, a quirkily coloured home office with a custom desk design, an atmospheric home cinema, three gorgeous modern bedrooms and two inspirational marble bathroom designs.

The versatile coffee table set can be placed edge-to-edge as one sleek piece, or split apart into three small side tables.

A Serie Up 2000 chair by Gaetano Pesce for B&B Italia anchors a bold black accent in the light room. The designer chair also serves as a visual divide between the lounge and the home entryway. A transition of wood to tile flooring further accentuates the division of zones.

The modern home office is a generously proportioned space with statement yellow lounge furniture and clashing solid green area rug. In contrast, the work area itself is a sophisticated neutral affair with a bespoke white & wood desk design and slick black & chrome desk chair.
Heavy black drapes build drama around the masterful desk, cutting darkly between huge windows.
