Uplifting, calm and just a little bit quirky, these two modern interiors are dressed in bright colour palettes of light blue, pink and shades of red, designed by . Each of the homes, located in Kiev, Ukraine, also use a motif to create continuity through the interiors.

The second apartment explores the use of shape and texture, with focus shifting between angular and curvaceous form. Both places include a kids room design too, so there is inspiration for an entire family of needs.
