blue highlights and metallic finishes define beauty salon by HVYLYA design in barcelona

HVYLYA Design’s interior draws from barcelona’s historic facades

HVYLYA Design completes the interior for GxBar, the newest location of a Ukrainian beauty salon brand in Barcelona. The 98-square-meter space reflects the Mediterranean charm of its surroundings while staying true to the aesthetic of the branding. The design draws on the historic sandy facades of Barcelona, soft textures, and vibrant hues, mixing warm beige tones with rich blue accents and metallic details. 

The design team divides the space into functional zones, catering to a variety of beauty treatments. The front-facing area, visible from the street, is dynamic and open, featuring a reception desk, manicure stations, makeup counters, and hairstyling zones. For client privacy, the display windows are partially screened, offering a glimpse into the beauty salon interior.

bespoke furnishings anchor GxBar beauty salon

Bespoke furnishings and decorative elements highlight Kyiv-based HVYLYA Design’s attention to detail. The Oito mirror by industrial designer Vania Voitovych and Sled chairs by architect Vlad Tolochko, crafted by the 4 Corners furniture factory, complete the makeup area. Toward the rear, private areas are dedicated to pedicures, facials, and relaxation, including a soundproof skincare room that adopts a subdued palette and tactile finishes. The pedicure zone of the GxBar features recliner chairs for maximum comfort, creating an experience reminiscent of a cozy home theater. Walls and ceilings are finished with warm, sandy-toned decorative plaster, which contrasts with deep blue accents, while muted tones in other areas ensure spatial flow.
