Colorful decor accents, rich wooden design elements, and eye-catching modern art create exciting moments of interest around this 200 sqm family apartment in Kyiv, Ukraine. Created by architects Yevheniia Dubrovska and Valeria Rezukova, this engaging home has two floors that accommodate the homeowners and their two teenagers. The upper floor contains the family living room, a kitchen diner, and an impressive walk-in closet. The bedrooms are situated downstairs away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. As we tour the apartment, we’ll discover an array of inspirational vignettes, from the bar area in the living room with a wood-slatted feature wall to a memorable modern bathroom with a soft pink aesthetic.
We begin our tour in the living room of this modern apartment in the center of Kyiv. A dark green velvet accent chair injects the first shot of color against a background of fresh white paintwork. A modern fireplace brings in a cozy glow underneath the wall-mounted TV.
At the back of the living room, there is a home bar area, complete with a handy wine cooler and wood shelves for decorative items.
A wood-slatted feature wall defines the small home bar area, stopping just short of the open stairwell. Wooden balustrades complement the living room material palette.
A guest bathroom is located just off the family living space. Inside, a black and white mosaic tile floor creates a statement while an arched bathroom mirror makes an elegant focal point.
Modern abstract art, by Slava Khomytsky, introduces red black and white accent colors into the mix. Two globe wall sconces illuminate the bold artwork and add mood lighting to the room.
A red accent table draws color to the side of a modern greige sofa. Parquet flooring lays a geometric wood pattern from the living room into the hallway.
The white marble coffee table introduces a striking moment of dramatic black veining into the center of the light living room design.
An open doorway leads into the kitchen and dining area. Pale gray cabinets shade the kitchen wall above rich wooden base units. Wooden salt and pepper shakers accessorize the white stone worktop.
Hidden behind closed doors, a walk-in closet unfolds. The walk-in closet organizers are colored a soothing blue-gray tone that makes cool contrast with a warm wood closet island.
Recessed spotlights illuminate the clothing shelves and garment rails. Mirror closet doors reflect light into the large dressing area.
The modern staircase design features heavy wooden treads with a gently floating effect, which is achieved by a slight recess in the riser.
Precious storage space is salvaged from under the staircase by installing a made-to-measure closet.
Wooden risers stretch from tread to ceiling to fashion a custom design. Natural light plays through the bars, casting shadow play upon the white walls.
Wooden double doors create a striking visual alongside a wall of wooden tension shelves. A neat collection of books and small table lamps adorn the stack.
Striking wall art by Vova Keno brings color and life to the home. Shades of blue and coral pink fill the narrow hallway and inspire accent colors in the bedrooms and bathrooms of the lower floor.
The same parquet flooring runs throughout the apartment to achieve a cohesive finish. Dark edging calls attention to the boundary of each zone.
The first bathroom we stumble upon downstairs is clad edge-to-edge with white mosaic tiles. They wrap curved walls that flank a fitted bathtub, creating a tactile frame.
A bright blue bathroom vanity unit adds a shocking stripe of color to the predominantly white bathroom decor scheme. Black bathroom faucets, fittings, and matching light switches complement the modern vibe. A round bathroom mirror fills the wall.
Recessed shower shelves are on hand to receive soap and lotion dispensers.
In the master bedroom, textured, silver-gray wallpaper covers the headboard feature wall with a subtle pattern. A wooden headboard provides dark contrast.
A gold-framed full-length mirror adds a glimmer of luxe beside the window, where it reflects natural light deeper into the bedroom. Soft gray drapes frame a floor-to-ceiling window.
A round pendant light provides reading light over the pillows and highlights a luxe white marble nightstand.
The master ensuite has a soft pink aesthetic, which glows warmly through the doorway of the cool gray master bedroom.
Soft pink mosaic tiles engulf the bathtub area, covering the flanking walls, the ceiling, and the raised floor beneath. The tiles cover a floating shelf above the bath, where a concealed LED light strip illuminates an elegant gold faucet below.
A chunky wooden vanity unit balances out the sweetness of the pink aesthetic and the dainty mosaic tiles.
A mirrored wall unit spans the length of the bathroom, doubling the perception of space.
This teenager's bedroom design receives color in the form of a navy blue upholstered bed. Custom-made closets are constructed in light wood.
Floating bedsides appear to extrude from the wood cladding. Display shelves are set back into the timber to continue the simplified concept.
A wood pattern wall has been constructed at the foot of the bed to create an interesting focal point. A floating desk crosses the window, making the most of the light. The hanging desk design also makes room for a radiator to tuck underneath.
The final bedroom has a minimalist gray palette with light wood accent furniture.
In the modern home office, a navy blue desk and matching blue shelf are teamed with a smart gray desk chair.
A blue velvet armchair is set up in the opposite corner to create an area for reading and contemplation.
