In this episode of NEVER TOO SMALL, we meet Julia Kropovinska and Artem Kropovinsky, the dynamic duo behind Arsight Interior Design studio in the heart of New York City. Hailing all the way from Ukraine, this talented pair has transformed their rented Brooklyn apartment into a functional yet stunning space that exudes both versatility and beauty. Drawing inspiration from nature and their multicultural surroundings, Julia and Artem have curated a living space that seamlessly blends American and Italian influences, creating a vibrant and cozy atmosphere.
From the moment you step into their abode, you are greeted by a carefully curated gallery wall and a cleverly placed mirror that enhances the sense of space and brightness. The living area is a testament to their design prowess, with open storage solutions that showcase accessories while keeping clutter at bay. Their attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the camouflaged pantry door adorned with personal photos to the hidden storage space above the shelving unit.
One of the highlights of their apartment is the expansive balcony, divided into a lounge area and a dining space complete with a barbecue—an urban oasis in the bustling city of New York. The kitchen, equipped with modern amenities, features open cabinets for easy access and a large dining table that doubles as a workspace. In the bedroom, Julia and Artem have created a warm and inviting retreat by removing closets to make space for a larger wardrobe and adding soft touches like a plush rug and a projector screen between the windows.
Despite the limitations of renting, Julia and Artem have managed to infuse their personal style into every aspect of their home, from the carefully selected wooden objects to the lush greenery that brings a touch of nature indoors. Their apartment is not just a living space but a reflection of their design philosophy, creativity, and deep connection to their surroundings—a true masterpiece in the world of interior design.
