Gray and Black Indulgence: Indulgent Bachelor Pad in Kiev

The design rules for most modern homes and those for a bachelor pad often see to be at odds with one another. And the most obvious of differences comes in the form of the colors used for the backdrop in each of these spaces. In modern family homes, it is often light, neutral colors like white, light gray, brown and beige that set the mood both in public and private spaces. In the bachelor pad, it is black, deep grays and other darker hues that make a grand statement. And this seems to be the case inside the gorgeous ‘For Gentleman Only’ apartment in Kiev that feels both sophisticated and relaxing.
