Sunshine Accent: How They Dared to Style a Bright Kitchen in Trash

The interior of a three-bedroom apartment in a new building was developed for a young family with a child. The clients wanted to get a spacious, functional and emotionally rich space where it would be comfortable to live, relax and host guests. Designers from Collage.Studio built the project on contrasts of color and textures, added unusual decorative elements, glass blocks and arched passages.

The kitchen-living room became the center of visual and planning composition while maintaining practicality.

The kitchen and living room merged into a single space — this allowed creating an area of almost 40 m². The layout enabled placing a large oval table and arranging a full kitchen system along the wall with two refrigerators, oven, sink and island.

Instead of one bulky side-by-side, they chose a pair of built-in refrigerators with symmetrical opening — this makes the facades look minimalist and keeps the kitchen light. The accent on symmetry and rhythm gives structure to the interior and visually calms down vivid hues.

The main character of the kitchen is the rich yellow cabinet: it occupies the entire lower line of cabinets, the column with appliances and the island. The color was chosen not by accident: it gives a feeling of warmth and sunlight all year round, especially when combined with a green backsplash made from textured tiles. To balance the intensity, upper cabinets were made neutral — white, without handles and with a simple geometric rhythm.

The kitchen island became an important element both from an aesthetic and functional point of view. On the side of the kitchen, it is closed off and used for storage and serving, while on the dining room side it has glass display cases where beautiful dishes and decorative items are displayed.

It adds comfort and individuality to the interior, as well as visually connects the food preparation zone with the dining area. The island countertop is in a light shade — it emphasizes the intensity of the facades.

The backsplash made of green tiles with an expressive pattern — another distinctive detail. It works as a contrasting background and supports the theme of natural, saturated tones that can be noticed throughout the apartment. Together with red and blue details in the living room, green and yellow set a color rhythm that echoes between different zones. This solution makes the space feel whole and harmonious, despite its vibrant palette.

Pay attention to the video:

The kitchen here is not just a place for cooking, but a full-fledged interior center of the apartment. It combines emotional appeal and carefully designed ergonomics. And it also remains convenient, spacious and practical — the perfect solution for an active family.
