To find a happy medium, Egue y Seta, the designers of this apartment in Barcelona, randomly color blocked small areas throughout the otherwise all white space.

Using bright colors, like yellow, blue, and green, they injected the apartment with a fun vibe – reflective of the young family living in it.

Although the majority of the walls remain white, the use of an easy and inexpensive method to include pops of color brings the apartment to life, and creates a space that feels cheerful and inviting.
