Meet Kyrylo Kyrychenko | Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kyrylo Kyrychenko and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kyrylo, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I think it’s the little details that work together to make the finished product of success– it’s not one single thing.

We start by responding quickly (first impression) and then follow that up with clear communication. Then people see the quality of our documentation, which makes them feel more at ease: for example, our pricing is standard (not guessed). We also educate clients on what they should expect, based on their wallpaper choices.

When we arrive at a site, we do so on time… and we clean our work space as we go. All these things lead up to the quality of our installation, which is superb.

If there are issues, we address them. The entire experience is the type of thing worthy of a luxury dining experience, and that’s why people consider us a successful brand in our field.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
We work closely with interior designers, who are the creative force behind what we do (wallpaper installation).

Personally, I love color, patterns, materials, and the idea that transforming a space with these three items can affect a person(s)’ life day to day. Whether living or working space, walking into a place that sets the mood and tone for whatever it is clients do is fascinating.

In our field, we have to take a more passive role on creativity but that doesn’t mean our hands are completely tied. We choose where a pattern starts based on the very first place your eyes will land after, say, walking through a door or an archway. We can also advise that a certain material might not perform well under direct sunlight for hours per day, or the reflection it can generate towards a computer monitor.

Overall, the hardest thing is accepting that we are the ‘help’, creatively speaking. Nevertheless, the finished product indeed feels like a piece of art that is being delivered as though it were an artistic commission. When we finish a job, we turn around and take one last look at our work, no different than any other artist would. And not being recognized as artists is something we have to negotiate daily, deep within ourselves.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I think I’d start them off with breakfast at Versailles in Little Havana, that way their first impression would be the warmth of the culture, with the hats, the havanera shirts… the sounds of dishes and utensils clanking, along with conversations and the aroma of feel-good food. Afterwards, I’d take them on a stroll of downtown Coral Gables, so they can get a feel for the rich tropical colors in all manner of small-business store fronts, especially the ones dealing with furniture, clothing, and art galleries showcasing our coastal themes. We’d be lucky to see Gables Gallery Night on the first Friday of the month, where places such as H. Benitez Fine Art Gallery open their doors along with other galleries along with musicians and street vendors.

For dinner, Colombian food in Miami rivals that of the country itself, so a visit to Pueblito Viejo for a Vandeja Paisa is a must.

It would be great to catch some music at ZeyZey Miami, where you will get a feel for live Salsa all the way to your bones, Afterwards, Miami’s Bayside Marketplace at night, with the sprawling and awe-inspiring views of both the water (picture yachts and cruise liners) and our skyline is sure to impress even the most well-traveled person in your circle of friends.

I’m not one to engage with nightlife, but booking a stay at the Radisson Resort Miami Beach would be a sensible option… that way we could walk along the Art Deco design district night clubs, get some daiquiris and fall asleep without having to drive afterwards.

The next morning, access to the pool and the beach would add to a great memory of the myriad of things our city has to offer.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We always look to align ourselves with professionals. It doesn’t matter what your role is with the company… if your only job is to flick a switch, but you do it dependably and with a smile, then you are a professional. That said, I want to thank my entire team for expecting a better future for themselves and reflecting that with their work.

I come from Ukraine, so obviously I feel the need to be thankful for my background, which prepared me for the harshest of environments. Ukrainians demand quality work with few resources… and I can’t think of any better mentorship than that!
