"Much of my project is connected to taste, references to cooking and food. Therefore, the color palette turned into choosing kind of ingredients for a carefully orchestrated visual celebration," Furman said.

Minimal Fantasy apartment, Spain

All rooms and most surfaces in this leisure apartment in Madrid are done in one or another shade of pink — right down to the kitchen sink.

The local studio Patricia Bustos Studio stepped back from the color palette only when it came to cabinet facades, which are complemented with brass details and geometric forms in denim and soft blue tones.

Mixtape Apartment, Spain

Light pink walls and cabinet doors help breathe new life into a 1960s kitchen in an apartment renovated by Spanish architectural studio Azab for a retiree in Bilbao.

Mixed floor tiles-Christmas tree not only unite the color palette but also add small touches of mint-green and cherry-red along with muted beige — this allowed harmoniously combine the bright palette and wooden facades.

Studio11 Office, Belarus

When designing their own workspace in Minsk, Studio11 aimed to avoid simple industrial aesthetics preferred by many design and architectural bureaus.

This meant combining raw concrete and plastered surfaces in the interior with bright accents. For example, with an abstract portrait of Belarusian artist Zakhar Kudin or a blush-colored counter placed in front of half-painted blue walls in the common kitchen.

Design Exhibition Hall Remix, Denmark

The Danish brand Reform, specializing in creating kitchen units like IKEA, drew inspiration from color palettes and gradients of cosmetic pallets while designing the relaxation area in a trendy showroom in Copenhagen.

Here, kitchen facades from the Basis collection by Reform are executed in deeper pastel tones — from peach to rose and deep pink. They contrast beautifully with a coal-black sink and faucet.

House and the River, Lithuania

White walls, floors and ceiling create a bright, modern background in this house by the stream on northern Lithuania designed by After Party studio. A unique character is created thanks to Soviet-era antiques and unexpected color accents.

The monochromatic kitchen is hidden under a mezzanine. The highlight of the space — a salmon-colored island with a countertop in pink tones from terrazzo.

Apartment in El Borde, Spain

At first glance, this apartment draws attention to an unusual arched volumetric structure in coral-pink shade behind which a second bathroom is hidden, located next to the kitchen. The design was handled by Colombo and Serboli Architecture: compact housing is located in a 13th-century residential building in Barcelona's historic district.

The same motif repeats on the breakfast island with a curved countertop from pink quartz and an dining table in pink tones.
