In the kitchen, candy-pink cabinetry juxtaposes watermelon-green vinyl on the floor, while lilac carpet in the dining room is meant to recall icing on a sponge cake. There are also "zesty" lemon-yellow fixtures in the bathrooms.

Waterfront Nikis Apartment, Greece, by Stamatios Giannikis Architect Stamatios Giannikis selected three hues to organise living spaces within this Grecian apartment.
