A Pair Of Super Small Apartments With Dazzling Neon Accents

Vivid colors are an easy way to make an unforgettable impression within any interior. But using bold color schemes within a small space is a little more difficult – too much can overwhelm the eye and too little can make the theme look incidental. Add the extra challenge of coordinating bright accent colors across an open layout home and the project starts to require a sharp eye and a strong sense of creativity....

An Amazing Mansion In Madrid

First of all… WOW. Chew on these images while we take a moment to catch our breath here. We like how A-Cero architects keep churning out hit after hit . Located in the Pozuelo de Alarcón suburb near Madrid, this magic mansion by them is the kind of stuff that dreams are built of. Their emphasis was on 3 simple principles - beauty, firmness and utility. And with these they have created a symphony of sculpture, earth and water....

If you were to ask us to associate thoughts with Ukraine, we might think of wheat farming, or perogies (Yum!!) or even the current crisis around Crimea but we probably would not immediately have said, “Cutting edge interior design!”. These two apartments, rendered by Dnepropetrovsk-based Svoya studio are the epitome of where interior design is going next. While clean sparse modernism dominates the ‘bones’ of the design, Svoya has achieved a warm welcoming feeling by throwing in a little bit of plaid, and using wood plank flooring that looks like it has a long story to tell....

Colour

Small apartments offer a homely haven from the outside world – but also less space for decorative self-expression. Bedrooms, lounges, bathrooms and kitchens are not afforded the luxury of space to accentuate fixtures, features and panelling; it is here that crafty design innovations take centre stage. Clever colouring, supporting accents and mixed-purpose spaces are the hero in these apartments and hotels. Sleek storage spaces hide behind large art deco pieces to bestow breadth to limited room....

We’ll discover a small open concept living space with a calculated clash of orange and green accent colours, a confidently coloured lounge with an artistically painted TV wall, a colour-blocked abode with pink panache in the bedroom, and an elegant apricot infused city pad....

Cute And Groovy Small Space Apartment Designs
