Editor's Choice: Interiors That We Liked Most in 2022

Throughout the year, we published interiors of apartments and houses of various sizes in different styles. Naturally, the editorial team also had its favorites. We chose the very best.

Apartment with terrazzo tiles, colorful facades, and Scandinavian wallpapers

This bright interior with bold accents was designed for a young family with two daughters by the studio Sova Interiors. The clients wanted to fill the space with interesting details and add more natural light to the central part of the apartment, where the kitchen, living room, and hallway are located.

The kitchen is the highlight of the apartment: pink cabinets, real terrazzo made to order, cylindrical hood, and matching appliances.
