Completing the design project implementation in early Autumn 2022, Bezmirno architectural studio reinvented a space of 106 square meters in the Tetris Hall complex in Kyiv, Ukraine. The primary aim of the project was to develop an elegant interior with a cozy ambiance. This was achieved by implementing a warm, neutral color palette and a combination of natural materials. Only minor changes were made to the layout of the home, which involved the inclusion of a small, convenient dressing room off the master bedroom. In its entirety, the home includes two bedrooms, plus two dressing rooms, one shower room, one bathroom, and an open plan living space with a spacious feel.
Upon entering this stylish apartment in Kyiv, we’re met with a comfortable open plan living space with a warm and welcoming appeal. The layout is spacious and practical, with a dining table and kitchen area situated behind an L-shaped couch.
A wooden sofa table overlaps the edge of the couch. The stylish living room table lamp is a black Atollo lamp.
Several small stacks of coffee table books provide neat adornment on top of a white marble coffee table. One is laid open to display inspiring design.
The marble coffee table creates a light-reflective core at the center of the sitting area. Opposite the sofa, a long, slimline media console unit underlines the TV and a wall-mounted storage unit. Much of the cabinetry and wall paneling in the apartment is bespoke to the project.
The modular sofa arrangement includes a side table in its makeup, which provides a handy spot to set down drinks close to hand. There is also room in the base of the table to tidy away magazines and remote controls.
Brown scatter cushions and a matching brown throw add moments of rich contrast onto the pale sofa upholstery.
Over in the dining area, a long rectangular table runs almost the full length of the kitchen. A simple glass vase filled with flowers creates a pretty dining table centerpiece under the bright glow of a linear suspension light.
Comfortable upholstered dining chairs accommodate up to eight diners.
A stylish living room lounge chair adds a contrasting chocolate accent to the pale living room decor scheme. The rich chair upholstery complements the dark parquet flooring that peeps from the edges of a custom-made Belgian rug.
Two different floor treatments are applied to create zoning. Large format porcelain floor tiles define a clear walkway from the main living space. A wooden ceiling treatment above the walkway provides added spatial definition. A guest bathroom is accessed just off the hallway.
Dipped just out of plain sight behind the living room furniture, perforated wooden panels hide away the radiators. Elsewhere in the apartment, there is underfloor heating. Ducted air conditioner units are tucked away in the two bathrooms and dressing rooms.
Black track lights provide a flexible lighting solution across the living room ceiling and hallway. Accent lamps facilitate a more cozy ambiance to suit different scenarios.
The hallway is clad with wooden wall panels to create a perfectly smooth aesthetic with a warm appearance. The master bedroom is located at the end of the hallway. Neighboring doors lead to dressing rooms, bathrooms, and a second bedroom.
The home entryway displays the same smooth wood-paneled aesthetic. Porcelain tiles lay down a hard-wearing floor.
Inside the master bedroom, a soothing gray decor scheme promotes rest and relaxation. Heavy gray drapes frame the window. Beside the gray upholstered bed, a round bedside table is illuminated under a low-hanging mini pendant light.
Fitted wardrobes spread a pale gray colorway across one whole wall.
Opposite the end of the bed, a floating desk design adds a visually warming wooden element to the gray room scheme. A slender black floor lamp provides task lighting over the home workspace, which also doubles as a dressing table. A TV is mounted above the desk area, in a prime viewing position for the bed.
A spacious walk in wardrobe/dressing room is fitted with clothing rails, garment shelves, and floating chests of drawers on two sides. A wall of mirrored panels further increases the sense of space and light inside the closet.
The second dressing room contains a laundry area. The washing machine and tumble dryer are concealed behind closed doors. Upper shelves provide a convenient storage area for detergent and fabric softener.
Inside the bathroom, wood-slatted panels create a continuous run of deep texture around the small space. An illuminated bathroom mirror is set into a bank of mirrored wall cabinets.
LED strip lights send out an atmospheric glow above the cabinet and shed task lighting onto the vanity countertop.
A small bathtub fits perfectly into the compact bathroom space.
Inside the second bedroom, a black and wood bedside unit darkly contrasts a beige upholstered bed and headboard. The stylish bedside table lamp is the Flos Snoopy Lamp.
There is a dressing table set up by the window to take advantage of natural light.
A round vanity chair pulls up at the chic modern dressing table.
A small floor lamp provides reading light over the pillows.
The shower room is compact. A luxe decor scheme of gray marble and rich wood tone builds a high-end look.
A cylindrical pedestal sink unit is complemented by a round bathroom mirror.
