A Bright and Colourful Kadriorg Apartment

Located in the heart of the Kadriorg neighbourhood in Tallinn, this one-bedroom duplex was crying out for some colour to bring its many quirky features to life. Thankfully, the owner was looking for a colourful approach — starting with a pink kitchen.

PINK, BRASS & TERRAZZO

This landmark building had been entirely renovated prior to the client moving in, but the finish was mostly flat and grey. The client began by saying she wanted a pink kitchen with a colourful terrazzo, and we suggested adding some brass to the mix to bring everything together.

MID-CENTURY MODERN LINES

The client already owned a few pieces with a very mid-century modern aesthetic, so we furnished the rest of the space along the same lines, adding some palm patterns and brighter colours to anchor it in 2020.

BRIGHT DINING ROOM

The dining room/office faces north-east and does not get much light, so the idea was to bring light in by colouring the walls a bright yellow and balancing that with some blue on the lower half.

STYLISH BRICK WALLS

The bedroom on the lower level is the only part where the original grey brick wall is exposed, so we played with it and added tasteful touches of colour for a soothing yet stylish master bedroom.
