This luxurious home in Kiev is the work of designers Vitaly Yurov and
Iryna Dzhemesiuk, a cozy and comfortable space decorated with rich
textures
in high contrast grayscale. Grayscale color themes are fun to work with
because they're easy to adapt as trends change, as there's always a
great variety of relevant accent colors that look great against a dark
neutral
background. Within this flat, a great deal of personality comes from
the dramatic textures rather than any extraneous decoration - creative
blend of modern and classic materials with just the right hint of wood
thrown in for warmth.
Alternating matte and gloss checkerboard wall panels offer a subtle
style that softens the interior. Rounded pillows, spherical lamps, and
flowing curtains also take some of the edge out of the straight lines
that make up the overall structure of the furniture.
Low profile sofa and table are arranged above a dark rug, its somewhat
off-center placement making the space feel a little more open and less
rigid.
Adorable miniaturized wing chairs still embody the idea of opulence with
their diamond-tufted leather and velvet upholstery. These are from the
Monster collection by Marcel Wanders.
A large and detailed portrait serves as an engaging focal point.
This angle really showcases the layers and distribution of texture throughout the living room and
kitchen.
Floor to ceiling curtains make the space feel slightly taller. The
polished white ceiling helps preserve some of the light from the
windows, which do not reach from floor to ceiling.
