A Compact 65m2 Apartment in Kyiv Separated by Blue Curtains

A young couple in Kyiv, Ukraine, enlisted the help of ater.architects to renovate their 65m2 apartment with a dysfunctional layout. To utilize the space better, walls were removed leaving only the bedroom and bathroom as separate rooms. In place of the walls, vibrant cobalt blue curtains were installed creating dramatic backdrops and adjustable division as needed. The result is the EGR apartment, complete with a limited mix of furnishings and bold accent colors.

The kitchen is finished out with black lower cabinets and counters balanced with oak veneer elements for a cozier feel. The black ceramic tiles used as a backsplash are flanked with pink seams that complement the base of the kitchen table.

The living room feels bright and airy with a powder pink sofa resting in front of a blue curtain. A single chair and coffee table round out the furniture with a Flos 265 wall sconce suspended overhead.

A corner of the apartment is set aside for the homeowner to create electronic music.
