I love raspberries especially when they are not quite ripe.  All the promise of that distinctive red but just a little tart, fresh not cloyingly sweet. Fresh on the palette and in a colour palette. But this is no one note wonder. Colours switch to deep moody greys through to rich deep blues and warming neutrals. Eclectic yet timeless, luxurious yet comfortable, industrial yet glamourous.

London-based Kinnersley Kent Design have taken a tired and disjointed 1930’s house and created an understated yet luxurious home. Fresh and modern with its minimalist, no fuss lines the rooms now feel united  and have a zen like calm to them. Light floods in through open plan spaces while the simple period details have been celebrated, albeit quietly.

I must admit I was fooled at first. You see I fell for the ornate architectural shell juxtaposed with the severely curated interiors. Luxury held on a very tight rein. Very intoxicating in its minimalism. But it’s not real. It’s a rendering by Ukraine-based Evgeniy Bulatnikov. Now if it was only real and not a beautiful dream. Sigh.

I’m finishing the week the way I started it with a dark and moody Copenhagen apartment by Rue Verte. Stylish modern living in a pared back classic shell.

If you like your colour more dark and brooding and less cacophonous then this Danish penthouse apartment might just be the place for you. I love how the few rich colour accents pop against the moody backdrop. Design by Rue Verte, a high-end interior design shop in Copenhagen.
