    This episode was filmed on February 12th 2022, 12 days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We have been asked by the designer of this apartment, Olga Bondar, and our NTS team in Kyiv to share the beauty of Ukrainian design in hope that it will bring further attention and support for the people of Ukraine and the inhumanity of their situation.
    Located in the middle of the most densely populated district in Kyiv, Ukraine, Fayna town is a modern and vibrant residential complex built in place of a derelict vegetable factory and greenhouse. Inside one of the apartment blocks is the aptly named Pinkyellow, a bright and colourful space by Ukrainian designer Olga Bondar. Originally an empty shell, Bondar cleverly adjusted the floor plan, creating a compact, comfortable space using bespoke furniture and cleverly concealed rooms and appliances. In the open plan living space, a full size low back sofa was carefully selected for comfort and to reduce visual clutter, whilst a framed TV appears like artwork on the wall. In the compact but full kitchen, the fridge blends into the kitchen's pink walls, and a small bar counter divides the kitchen from the living room; while also creating a work space. Behind a hidden door opposite the living room the bedroom features floating furniture and a custom made podium storage bed, whilst the dressing room lies neatly tucked away behind a curtain, allowing the client to open up the space or close it away to hide clutter.

    This is one of my favourite tiny apartment designs. They managed to fit a comfy sofa, TV that you can actually watch from the sofa and loads of storage without having to climb up a ladder to get to the bed, have a big cube right in the middle of the room or have to rearrange the furniture multiple times a day. Also looks beautiful.

I hope the war will end soon, the life of all Ukrainians has changed drastically in one moment.. Please, to all who reads it, I just want you to know, that Ukraine didn’t want war, we didn’t kill Russian speaking people, the half of the population is Russian speaking, and they lived without any problems, everyone is confirming that, and of course, when in 2014 Russian army invaded Crimea and then Donbass region, Ukraine had to send troops to Donbass to fight against Russian military, not against people, who lived there! That the manipulation, that Russian propaganda tell’s everywhere. Don’t believe them, Ukrainians know better what is going on in Ukraine, than Russia, it’s logical!

Strange thing is, the UK cut back its aid to Yemen last year at a time when aid agencies were warning that Covid, the war and famine was killing kids in the thousands. The UK claimed it could only spare £87 million for Yemen for the whole year in 2021, but suddenly IN 4 DAYS, the UK has been able to raise £100 million for Ukraine. It speaks volumes.

    Creating your own sunny feeling is so important when there are long, dark, grey days.
    I also think the very light pink walls help to give the apartment a warm feeling (without the pink being too overwhelmingly pink). If they had been white it would have very easily looked too cold.

    I love the soft colors in the apartment. I usually need color in my home to give it a feeling of warmth and life/energy. The choices of the placement of the furniture, appliances, and basic needs was able to give an airy feel and coziness without feeling cluttered/clostrophobic with the clever ideas of either embedding items in the wall, floating or arranging the furniture or set-up pf the rooms so perfectly. I loved it. I would love to live in a place setup like that. Side note: I'm hoping that the people of Kyiv and the rest of Ukraine can survive this attack from Russia. I wish them continued strength and hoping that the worldwide support for them continues and helps stop this war against them and can bring peace.
