Welcome to a cool Kyiv apartment, visualized by ater.architects, where fashion meets music in perfect harmony. This 100-square-meter, two-level home redefines contemporary living with an artistic twist. Bold colors, funky furniture, and mesmerizing artwork fill every corner with an expression of individuality. The living area is a music-lovers paradise, showcasing an envy-inducing vinyl collection and an electric piano for impromptu jam sessions. The pink-accented kitchen is a delight when entertaining and hanging out with the family. Upstairs, bedrooms are splashed with bright and colorful elements, fabulous art, and imaginative home accessories. Bathrooms are just as daring, flaunting neon accents against raw concrete walls for a contemporary, edgy touch.
Developed for a young couple with a child, this home design promotes good energy and quality time together. The projector-friendly living room is ideal for family movie nights. A 3000-piece library of vinyl sets the music soundtrack for daily life.
The living room also serves as a piano room. The electric piano is paired with a sculptural accent Mustache chair that delivers a punch of purple to the scheme. Artwork by Françoise Oz, an Odesa-based artist, adds a hit of hot pink to the concrete living room wall.
A black and white rug lays pattern underneath the living room couch and a bright cobalt blue side table. Blue and bush pink scatter cushions color the gray sofa upholstery. Industrial gray concrete walls and a matching raw ceiling treatment counterbalance the brighter elements in the decor scheme.
