PURPLE HAZE In small city spaces, there’s
often a tendency to eschew color in favor of neutrals, but the owner of this apartment has instead applied shades of green, cobalt blue, red, and even electric pink – among others – to the walls of his home. Far from making it seem cramped, his graphic color- blocking tendencies bring individual rooms to life – and define them. The brilliant lilac kitchen walls, for example, create a sense of separation from the hallway leading directly into it, as well as the adjacent living room. Tip The homeowner describes his use of color in the kitchen as “completely instinctive” and designed to add a sense of drama. The countertops are made from cast concrete, and the carved wooden stools were made by an Afro-French artisan in Paris.
