Project Overview
This design project was created by Simpeks Design, an interior design studio based in Kyiv, Ukraine. The project entailed designing a one-room apartment or studio space measuring 50 square meters located in an elite residential building on Lesya Ukrainka Boulevard in Kyiv.
Client Profile
The clients for whom this project was designed are a busy business couple who spend much of their time traveling for work. While they enjoy their careers and travel, they also value having a comfortable home base where they can relax during their limited downtime in the city.
Design Goals and Aesthetic
With the clients’ busy lifestyle in mind, the design goals for this project emphasized creating a light, calming space with nothing superfluous. The primary design elements included light colors, exquisite yet minimalist furniture, and a concise overall layout to keep the space feeling open and relaxing.
Key Design Features
Some of the key design features implemented to achieve the project goals included:
A neutral light gray palette used throughout for the walls, flooring, and built-in storage elements to make the space feel bright and airy.
A modular white sectional sofa to serve as the main seating area, with additional poufs and throw pillows for flexibility.
A floating wood-top dining table with chrome base and upholstered dining chairs, positioned near the kitchen for easy meals at home.
A fully equipped galley-style kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances to allow for easy meal prep.
Built-in shelving and storage throughout to maximize storage while maintaining the open feel.
Strategic task and accent lighting to make the space feel welcoming day or night.
Large windows along one wall to allow for plenty of natural light and views of the city.
Original artwork in muted tones throughout to add visual interest without clutter.
Client Feedback and Project Outcome
The clients were thrilled with the final result, commenting that the design team at Simpeks Design had perfectly captured their vision of a light, calm, uncluttered space to retreat to after long trips away. The concise, minimalist design allowed them to fully relax and recharge in their home without feeling overwhelmed by excess visual stimuli. The project was deemed a complete success.
