Design studio Dihome has created a colourful industrial-style interior for this compact 15th-floor apartment in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Named Suprematism, this 42-square-metre apartment was adapted for a young couple who wanted a bright, colourful apartment with the most functional use of space.
"I wanted to dress the interior in a modern, bold way to give it a young and relaxed theme," Dihome founder Yevheniia Sytnik told Dezeen.

Existing walls were removed to create an open-plan layout, while glass bricks and panels were added to create spatial zoning without obstructing natural light.
"Glass blocks, plywood and concrete are the DNA of this project," said Sytnik. "The glass blocks in the living room required the builders to take them for grinding three times to ensure they fit perfectly," she continued.
The colour scheme is based on a palette of orange, blue, yellow and red
Set against a backdrop of painted white walls, colour was introduced through furnishings and decorative pieces, including an orange coffee table and a deep blue velvet sofa in the living space.
Above hangs a burnt orange wall panel by Ukrainian artist Tasha Oro, whose work references the early 20th-century art movement Suprematism ? which the apartment is named after.
"Suprematism is characterised by simple abstract forms such as squares, circles, and rectangles," said Sytnik.
