Designed by Iya Turabelidze , Emil Dervish , and Katerina Bandura, this 175-square-meter apartment is located in the historical district of Lipki in Kyiv, Ukraine. It’s situated on the second floor of a house designed by the architect Verbytskyi in 1908, which tucks cozily amongst old linden trees. The renovated property belongs to a couple with two children, who wanted to see the place restored to its former glory. Over the course of two months, modern additions were peeled away to reveal wider doorways and a fireplace from 1941. Aged plaster and rotten beams were refreshed. The design team tracked down the original plan from 1908 to follow, while being mindful of the family’s modern needs.

The homeowners desired an authentic classic space that would complement their minimalist living style. They keep a pristine home, so a palette of fresh white was a clear choice for the backdrop of a clean white sofa . The living room was attached to the kitchen to make an open-plan living hub. An archway preserves the classical plan and the stucco ceiling contours. It also hides built-in kitchen cupboards and an air conditioning unit.
A wall of windows brings sunlight streaming into the 64-square-meter living space. A door leads out onto a beautiful balcony.
A Fiddle leaf fig drinks in the glorious sunshine. The flourishing indoor plant adds a burst of uplifting greenery to the plain white room.
The overhead light is a work of Italian mid-century art. Its brass finish complements the traditional surroundings, while matt black shades add modernity.
1960s wine red accent chairs are positioned at each side of the rediscovered fireplace from 1941. Small, modern wall sconces subtly flank a simple, wooden mirror above the mantelpiece.
A miniature decorative vase perches on the narrow ledge of the mantelshelf, along with a mini rattan basket and book.
A wooden bench extends the living room seating arrangement without blocking the view through the balcony doors.
One wall of the living room is dedicated to a home workspace. A system of adjustable shelving rails supports a floating desk and storage cabinets. A magazine shelf runs above the workspace, with bookshelves situated up top.
In the kitchen, modern appliances were hidden away to preserve the historical feel of the apartment. The dimensions of the wooden dining table were modified to fit perfectly with six vintage chairs from France.
Italian travertine builds a complementary beige backsplash between stark white kitchen cabinets and monochrome walls.
A ledge on top of the backsplash holds an array of vintage art and glass tumblers .
A brass kitchen faucet matches the warm tone of the travertine countertop.
The remaining apartment is divided into an adults’ block and a children’s block. In the master bedroom, two bedside table lamps stand on timeless wooden nightstands.
An original double doorway links the bedroom to the living space, opening up a 17-meter-long perspective.
Windows and doors were crafted to represent those depicted in the classic drawings of the building.
A pure white upholstered bed contrasts with the parquet checkerboard floor, which is typical of Art Nouveau buildings in Kyiv.
Four-meter high ceilings give the apartment a spacious feel.
Lightweight white drapes brush the floor. A vintage wooden chest stores bed linen.
Just like in the living room, the wall texture in the bedroom and hallway is raw and rough. The warm white stucco was custom-made to replicate the stucco style of the Art Nouveau period.
Rounded walls give the hallway a smooth, open flow.
In the children’s block, two bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a vast walk-in wardrobe/storage space are joined by a separate hallway. The warm white, natural wood, and vintage brass decor palette continues here. Large paper bedroom pendant lights from HAY hang from the high ceilings.
The small guest bathroom design is playfully overblown with a theatrical red velvet curtain, which conceals laundry equipment. A modern hand soap holder accessorizes a traditional basin.
In the children’s bathroom, a unique shower space design was created with a recessed wall arch and mosaic tiles. The mosaic tile treatment expands outward beyond the shower enclosure to form a half-height border around the room.
The final minimalist bedroom design forgoes nightstands altogether. Instead, a simple wooden wall shelf holds just a couple of key pieces.
The bedroom furniture plan is dominated by a black oak desk design. The bespoke desk spans the full width of the bedroom, creating plenty of room for study and craft projects.
Linen curtains drop behind the desk to rest on the floor. Creating one continuous line of fabric from floor to ceiling highlights the impressive height of the room.
White mosaic tiles reappear inside the master bathroom. A ceramic robe hook is integrated into the wall treatment to maintain the classic look.
A vintage wooden bathroom vanity is topped with a luxe white marble countertop.
The brass bathroom faucet was chosen to acquire a natural patina over time.
A rare, pre-revolutionary Austrian bathtub was restored for this project. The bathtub features detailed claw feet and a roll-top profile, which adds a sense of romance to the bathroom scheme.
Wall-mounted toiletry holders keep bathroom surfaces free from clutter.
A natural wood bath shelf is matched by a wooden towel ladder. The white marble floor is made with differently shaped tiles, each set at different angles, to achieve an interesting finish.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation
1. Make it an All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:Design At Sketch
Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.
2. Add Wooden Elements
Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy
This black beauty edges towards wooden elements. We see a speckled floor, a white wall, and a central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over the island, providing functionality and style. If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!
3. Complement the Black Kitchen with Orange

A bit of curve rounds out the hard edges—adding some much-needed warmth. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior. The burnt orange sure makes a design statement (apart from the unique central island).
4. Keep Your Dark Modern Kitchen Simple
Visualizer:Panda Fox Studios
A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.
5. Make it Dark… Or Not?
Visualizer:Who Cares Design
If you’re eyeing a dark kitchen aesthetic but are hesitant to make the change, this is it. Introducing more light, this black kitchen is hardly dark at all. Black benches, cabinetry, fixtures and stools are intersected by large-panel windows, a white shelving stand and light flooring.

Visualizer:Visual Method
This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

An instant way to brighten up a dark kitchen (we mean, get the best of both worlds)? This kitchen space shows us how by using a white island on a black floor. The backsplash further enhances this dark-and-light effect, while the cowhide rug adds just the right amount of coziness.
9. Make Marble Your Best Friend

If you’re looking to create a modern luxury black kitchen, you know what you’ve got to do: Go big on marble! This natural stone adds the luxe factor to any space, especially as a large, central island, as seen in the kitchen above. You can also add it through the backsplash.
10. Make it Mysterious

You can double the visual intrigue in your all black kitchen by adding some mystery. In this kitchen, mood-lighting sets the scene in black and grey, while a marbled bench acts as the hero.

11. Layer Gray and Gold
Visualizer:Mitaka Dimov
Black kitchens are cool, but what if we layer in gray and add accents of gold? This stunning kitchen space uses gray flooring to add diversity to the otherwise black palette. The thick gold panel is one way that makes the space look incredibly high-end.

Visualizer:Aeroslon
Make your kitchen both modern and French with traditional black cabinetry. In this space, standing armoires act as sinks, and all other displayed items remain black. The stark white clock can surely act as the focal point of the space!
13. Consider Soft Elements

Rough, light wood and low-hanging white lights set this kitchen interior a world apart. You can also notice a layer of light gray cabinetry, adding variation to the otherwise dark color palette. These elements factor in softness to the black kitchen design.
14. Let the Accessories Do the Talking
Photographer:Mikko Ryhänen
In this black-and-wood creation, the accessories take center stage in adorning the interior. We love the houseplant, but the crockery deserves a special mention for doubling as decor. The light oakwood backdrop further warms the space up.
15. Consider a Matte All Black Kitchen

Neat square panels perfectly line up to emphasize the stark black minimalism that is at play here. We love how the cabinetry is matte black with no hardware, adding a sense of simplicity. The herb planters are a healthy green addition to bring the otherwise simple space.

If you’re wondering how the intrigue in this space is working… It’s the gradients from black, to charcoal, to light grey. White surrounds in the walls and a monochromatic hanging light.
