I absolutely love everything about this 60 m² bar in Kiev, Ukraine called Pink Room designed by Circle Line Interiors. From the colour scheme and the glamorous vibe to how it operates. Bar is situated in a historic part of building of old cinema “Kiev” in the centre of the city. Owners of the place wanted to create something that differs from the rest of speakeasy bars which already exist in the city. It was supposed to become the secret place for all cool underground music lovers, for those who appreciate art of cocktail culture, of silent cinema performances and for those who appreciate french style of the beginning of 20th century. Pink room is placed at an old stairway of the cinema, which was closed for the last 10 years. The entrance is behind the replica of Jules Chéret’s poster “Exposition universelle de 1889 : Le pays des fées”. Instead of Paris our designers painted Kiev’s historic Sofia square. To enter speakeasy one has to know secret code on a door, which can be obtained only from the owner of Pink Room. The overall size of the place is 60 square meters.  

Above the exit neon sign “Shhh…” reminds guests of Pink Room’s secrets that they should keep to themselves after leaving it.

On a lower floor we placed bar which is the main focal point of the space. On an opposite side from it is the row of cinema chairs where guests can enjoy view at the playful work of mistress of Pink Room – beautiful bartender Yasya.

Room with bar is teeny tiny and we had to search for solutions to visually enlarge it. To achieve this we covered ceiling and wall behind the bar with antique mirrors. In front of cinema chairs we placed copper cocktail tables with mirrored tops. Together with ceiling they play as a favourite spot for selfie pictures by creating double reflection.

On the second floor is situated DJ booth, large sofa, small tables and lounge chairs – everything is vintage. This is the space where they play silent movies and enjoy music sets from guest deejays. 

I could not help but notice Catherine and Patricia of Maven seem to have a crush on pale pink so I thought I would do a little round-up of their spaces featuring this colour. A lovely reminder why I love my dining room painted in Farrow & Ball’s Calamine so much. 🙂

“A forceful feminine approach was counterbalanced through the array of exquisite furniture & soft furnishings used with a striking sense of personality.” 

Hollywood Regency with a high end 80s vibe. A rich mix of pinks and burgundies played against black and grey. Brass and stone and feathers. What else could your glam heart desire? St. Ives Residence by Sydney-based interior design firm Designers in the City.

(A Galah, in case you do not know, is a beautiful grey and pink parrot native to Australia. If you look closely you can see a painting of one hanging beside the fireplace.)

Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl of LA-based interior design firm Life.Style. are all about bold statements. Bright colours often used in large doses, graphic tiles and shiny brass make for some sexy spaces that are fun and dramatic. The bathroom above is everything and then some.

It may only be 5 metres wide but as the architectural firm Dan Gayfer Design explains it’s all about “… a high level of functionality, flexibility, interaction and detail in a house with high ceilings, a high roofline and high levels of natural light.” It’s also high on style. The perfect partnering of spatial design and good looks. What can I say. It really is a High House.
