Plotting An Interior Around Panoramic Views From The 29th Floor

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

On the 29th floor, you get a pretty great view of the trendy neighbourhood at the heart of Kyiv, Ukraine. In fact, it was the fabulous panoramic view that sold this 150 square metre apartment to its young female homeowner. Close collaboration between the client and architects at Balbek Bureau resulted in a home layout that’s geared toward appreciating and accentuating the view. A dual aspect grand dining room is wrapped by the skyscape, and awash with its light. A high contrast kitchen design features a floating bench that frees up the window area. Even the walk-in closet pauses to accomodate a window seat against the vista.

The modern apartment interior features references to classicism. Jewel coloured minimalist furniture pieces come together in rich contrast, under smooth white ceiling moldings. The book lover’s living room is situated toward the back of the apartment so that bookcases don’t obstruct an inch of the view.

Between atmospheric glowing book stacks, a flickering modern fireplace and TV are centred on a clean white chimney breast.

A floor lamp throws reading light over a comfortable modern chaise lounge, which is accented with an emerald green scatter cushion to complement the green coffee table.

A houndstooth comfortable reading chair and matching footstool bring pattern to the living room ensemble. A garnet sofa adds a spike of bright heat to the palette.

Behind the red accent sofa, a small niche offers a perfect landing spot for a home workspace, furnished with a traditional style desk and modern table lamp.

The window side of the living room is dedicated to a grand formal dining area with an eight place dining set. Minimalist dining room pendant lights cascade down from a ceiling recess in varying sizes and lengths. Dual aspect windows pull the diners into the skyscape.

Wild florals explode from a large glass vase on the tabletop, springing up to meet the light fixtures.

A modern fruit bowl and decorative candles dress each end of the long rectangular table.

The unusual modern kitchen design features a freestanding island that overlaps open doorways on either side. A marble countertop extension forms a bridge in front of the window wall.

Even the kitchen extractor slightly overlaps the doorway, which forms a black frame around the kitchen’s cubist composition.

Contrasting colour makes sharp framework around the cabinets and flooring. Shimmering floor tiles add a luxe modern touch.

Another modern fruit bowl marks the bridging countertop as a dining peninsula, where kitchen bar stools can face in towards the chef, or flip around to the other side to take in the city panorama.

A black backsplash sets a glossy backdrop behind the kitchen sink and a professional set of knives.

Copper refrigerator handles inspire the chic colorway of a unique faucet.

The copper accents lustre on into the home entryway, in the form of a contemporary sputnik chandelier. A freestanding room divider is fashioned to form a vanity area with an edge-to-edge mirror, floating shelf and an elegant sapphire blue vanity stool. Wooden closets offer a huge storage space, and richly complement the warm metallic home accents.

Calming white walls paint a peaceful bedroom space. Panel molding adds a classical element behind the headboard of a pale platform bed.

The rounded bedside table is finished with petite brass handles.

The designer table lamp that complements the bedside unit’s curves is the Atollo lamp.

An ensuite bathroom utilises the back of the layout so as not to waste the view.

Small sprigs of fresh greenery pop up around the bedroom scheme, on the bedsides, the dresser, and in enchanting wall art.

A lounge chair brings in a darker emerald green hue, under a black modern floor reading lamp. A corner of panel molding gives the small reading area an air of grounded sophistication.

The large master suite also includes an impressively sized walk-in wardrobe. The green bedroom accent is carried through into this space as muted sage green paintwork over a bank of bespoke closets, storage cubbies and drawer units. Brass handles finish off the high-end look.

A tower of wooden wall shelves display the homeowner’s large and beloved shoe collection.

Never missing an opportunity to cash in on that view, a window seat has been installed inside the walk-in wardrobe. Cushions stack at both ends of the bench to make a cosy reading nook.

Drawers underneath the bench can be used for extra clothes storage.

A small modern wall sconce lights the serene little bolthole after dark.

The master bathroom takes on a different character from powdery light blue wall panels and luxurious marble flooring, which became the apartment owner’s favourite combination. A traditional bathtub draws a graceful silhouette.

The IC wall light by Michael Anastassiades for FLOS complements stunning gold bath taps.

Beautiful gold fixtures kit out the shower too, making a strong statement against a white marble wet wall.

A frameless shower screen allows the finer details of the shower enclosure to sing.

The apartment also has a neat guest bathroom just off the home entryway.

Black and white geometric floor tiles and matt black fixtures make a bold statement in the small space.

The floor plan shows how spaces have been prioritised with the panoramic view. We can also see the interesting flow of space, with dual doorways leading into the living room and the kitchen. A laundry room is accessed outside of the huge walk-in closet, which is revealed as the entrance to the entire master suite.

Capturing The Cosy Home Vibe In Apartments Under 80 Sqm (Includes Floor Plans)

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

There are many ways to style our beloved nests, but most of all we want them to feel welcoming, warm and cosy. This pair of single bedroom apartment interiors explores two different approaches to hitting a modern cosy vibe, in homes each measuring around the 80 square metre mark. Our first home is a mid century modern inspired interior, filled with plenty of warm retro vibes and a cheerful bright blue kitchen. Our second inspirational living space is a plant filled sage green space, textured with natural woven furniture, lighting and wall decor. We’ve included the layouts at the end of each cosy home tour for extra home styling inspiration.

Mid century modern silhouettes rule in this cosy 73.6 square metre home, located in Novosibirsk, Russia. Rich brown furniture hues warm a predominantly white mid century modern living room, peppered with lush plant greenery. A tasselled rug design sets down a playful base with an uplifting creamy colourway.

The lounge’s angular room shape encourages a conversational style furniture layout.

A glass wall shares natural light and a sense of space between the mid century modern lounge and its neighbouring kitchen diner.

A floor lamp with an oversized shade has been teamed up with a pale olive green armchair, forming a comfortable reading area up against the kitchen’s glass wall.

Retro accessories and books decorate the mid century modern furniture.

Small niches are filled with neatly styled vistas to give the home a much loved and lived in feel.

The most awkward angular space in the living room happens to be the perfect fit for an old piano and an antique rustic stool. A small decorative wall mirror adds a spot of light to the shaded nook.

The glass wall kitchen leaks its cheerful bright blue accent into the neutral lounge.

Black framed double doors swing open in a grand gesture that connects the two living spaces via the kitchen’s central dining island.

The solid wood herringbone floor seamlessly interlocks the two rooms.

Natural timber elements balance out the bright blue kitchen cabinets, and create a sunny quality.

Open kitchen shelves and easily accessible plate racks instill a homey atmosphere, where everyday life shapes design rather than bends to it.

The kitchen island provides a comfortably spacious rectangle dining table for family gatherings.

Moving on into the bedroom, a yellow ochre throw adds sunshine to a pine platform bed.

Mid century modern tension pole shelving units create an attractive frame all around the bedroom doorway.

A bedroom chair is layered with a soft cream throw and comfy accent cushion. An indoor plant freshens the natural palette.

An art print above the mid century modern dresser makes a neat height match with the full length bedroom mirror.

A glass vase of dried florals and an animal statuette make a tonal grouping with the art frame. Candles and plants break up the book library.

The narrow closet has been best utilised with a pull out clothes rail on wheels. A Henri Matisse Blue Nude II print serves as an echo of the kitchen’s colour theme.

In the bathroom, a black framed shower enclosure is a dead ringer for the kitchen’s glass wall design.

White metro tiles are repeated in this space too, to create one cohesive aesthetic through the apartment.

A unique faucet and elegant wall sconces introduce golden elements around the vanity.

Black and white tiles lay down a permanent doormat in the home entryway.

Visualizer: Between The Walls

Our next interior is an 80 square metre two-room apartment for a young couple in Kyiv, Ukraine. indoor plants, botanical wall art and a muted green sofa colour the fresh living room scheme.

Decorative baskets create a rustic wall display over an electric piano.

Sage green paintwork fills a statement wall opposite the sofa, which creates zoning for a modern home workspace. A low timber console unit and a tower of floating shelves serve as home office storage. The stylish desk chair is a Flow Slim chair designed by Jean-Marie Massaud.

The enclosed balcony has been fashioned into a chic little light-filled tea room. A grey teapot and cups set make a smart addition to the mini table. A pair of wireframe Bertoia style modern outdoor chairs sit lightly in the compact space.

Inside the kitchen, a small dining table and four woven chairs set out a bohemian style eating spot. The perfectly accompanying wicker dining room pendant light is the IKEA Sinnerlig.

A metal plant stand elevates a small leafy friend to table height.

Timber kitchen base units make a mellow match for the rattan dining arrangement.

White wall cabinets open up the top of the space, whilst a black fridge freezer balances out an integrated oven in the L-shaped kitchen.

A small jungle of indoor plants embrace the bedroom layout.

A comfortable reading chair roots an earthy brown accent by the window and a small side table.

Another birch IKEA FROSTA stool makes a bedside table on the other side.

A repetition of the living room home workspace is made inside the bedroom, with an identical tower of timber wall shelves making home for plants and books.

The same minimalist home office desk pairs with a Flow Slim desk chair by Jean-Marie Massaud.

A black desk lamp completes the twinning.

Harnessing Arid Land With Amazing Desert Homes

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

The arid desert isn’t your typical landscape for a white picket fence, but these aren’t your typical family homes. These magnificent examples of modern architecture carve something special into these wide and wild landscapes, something that transforms the desolate and inhospitable country into a place that dreams are made of. Check out this series of four exceptional home tours that feature blissful outdoor pools to wash away the desert dust, and unique interiors that will wow. Would you choose an embedded mansion amongst the tent rock, a linear LA abode with cacti laden terraces, an arcing lair of elegance in the wilderness, or a brutalist feat of desert architecture?

Visualizer: Bartosz Domiczek

Tucked into the bedrock among striking tent rock formations, Hoodoo House is a mysterious arrangement of embedded volumes and protruding white vents.

The towering white vents communicate a sleek translation of the surrounding geology. They also serve a practical purpose in bringing diffused light into the deeply recessed rooms.

A spectacular pool stretches away from the Hoodoo House, carving a man-made crystal blue river through the red rocky desert. The shaded pool valley supports natural circulation of cooled air to the home.

Inside, a modular sofa continues the cool blue meets rocky red contrast, with a blue toned modular sofa and protruding rock face feature walls. Light shafts square up along the length of the room to increase the influx of natural daylight.

Blue pools permeate the interior of the house to counteract the dry desert ambiance.

A small waterfall rushes down into one of the pools, creating a refreshing soundtrack for the home.

The unique front door of the home has been erected in a minimalist interpretation of the tent rock formations.

Glowing lights add intrigue and mystery around the entryway, which continues within the home.

Home layout and side elevation.

Architect: Studio AR&D Architects Visualizer: Hālō Studio

Our next luxury home is a linear stretch of modern architecture, situated in the hot LA climate. A landscape of cacti and rock brings the desert to its doors.

Large sheets of glass break up the home’s boxy volumes, breaking open interior spaces to magnificent mountainous views.

The L-shaped structure wraps a stepped terrace, which descends toward a two car garage.

Rich wood grain cocoons the luxurious home interior, which is furnished with shades of grey and tonal brown accents. An Oda floor lamp adds a designer touch by the large sectional sofa.

As is typical in Los Angeles, much of the entertaining is done outdoors. Expansive interior spaces open up to connect the two living zones.

The outdoor living areas spill onto the pool terrace, where family and friends can take a dip to cool down from the blazing sun.

An outdoor bar/dining table is situated poolside, perfect for a spot of R&R with an iced drink in hand.

When approaching the outdoor dining table from the raised patio off the house, a seat pad and scattered floor cushions create a relaxed aesthetic.

The dining table cantilevers over the bench seat and modern chairs.

An outdoor lounge area sits snug in the space behind the al fresco dining spot.

A built-in planter of cactuses adds a touch of desert chic to the table.

Stacked bowls add a rustic decoration to the stylish outdoor coffee table, which complements solid wood lounge chairs.

If the sun gets too much for outdoor recreation, a shaded kitchen awaits with open arms and a huge kitchen island for dining.

The kitchen’s stunning timber ceiling is extended across the architectural overhang.

Rustic wooden stools skip the indoor-outdoor boundary.

The rich ceiling feature continues on into the bedrooms in one cohesive sweep.

Dual aspect windows dissolve the corner of the master bedroom, making it one with layered desert landscaping.

A dipped sun terrace scoops up the pool’s blue waters.

The feature creates a cooling path of shallows across the patio.

Modern concrete crashes into natural rock to create textural contrast.

Desert plants have been bedded around the borders to feather the home’s harsh linear edges.

A cast concrete rocking chair adds a cool feature to the bedroom patio.

The clean cut swimming pool mirrors the clear sky.

Visualizer: Atelier Monolit

Our third tour takes place under glorious arches, a form that silently instills a hushed spiritual atmosphere. A round rug, coffee table and circular wall art echo the architecture’s curvature.

A round pedestal dining table confidently carries the shape theme amid contemporary green dining chairs.

A clustered dining room chandelier bursts over the table, framed by the view.

On the terrace, an angular outdoor chaise lounge counteracts a curvaceous pool design, and connects with the hot desert sands. A small lounge area is positioned close enough to the water’s edge to dip a toe.

Visualizer: Deniz Taylan

Our last featured home is a crisp concrete creation with an elegant pool terrace. Modern outdoor furniture makes comfortable exterior living spaces around the deck.

The brutalist house exterior is formed as one teetering volume over another, ending in opposing acute and obtuse angles.

The desert lines up obediently along the entry pathway, delicately framing the front entrance door.

The upper volume overhangs the backward sloping ground floor windows to afford them some shade without encroaching too far onto the spectacular view. Side windows slice along the length of both the living spaces and the bedrooms module to drink in the desert panorama.

Waimarino Lodge features properties along a lakefront wilderness in Bob’s Cove, just outside of Queenstown CBD, New Zealand. Designed by award-winning architects Fearon Hay, Waimarino is a stunning getaway with expansive shared living spaces, luxury bedrooms and breathtaking views from every angle. Choose from a glorious ‘Owners Residence’, a pristine ‘Premium Villa’, or a refined and understated ‘Luxury Villa’ wrapped in the lush greenery of the sloping landscape. Endless adventure awaits outside the villa’s doors, along Lake Wakatipu and over the surrounding mountain ranges. Or maybe the outdoor bathtub under clear blue skies will be just too inviting to leave behind.

Situated on 18,093 square metres of land in the beautifully sheltered bay, the modern home exterior of the ‘Owner’s Residence’ encompasses a huge 201 square metre sun terrace with a 40 square metre heated infinity pool. A comfortable conversation pit is sunken into the side of the concrete patio, heated by a modern firepit. The perfect place to chat about the day’s adventures of heli-skiing, scenic backcountry hikes and vineyard wine tastings.

How’s this for a living room with a spectacular view? The 495 square metre Owner’s Residence sits at the very front of the property, where majestic mountains and tranquil waters layout a magnificent welcome. Native birdlife calls from the surrounding bush, building on nature’s blissful ambiance.

A ceiling mounted modern fireplace keeps the luxurious villa toasty in wintertime, when the mountains are snow capped. In green Spring and Summertime the piece simply presents a cool sculptural addition to the contemporary monochrome lounge scheme. Pale grey lounge furniture and a matching area rug keep the decor palette restful, whilst the fireplace and a chunky black rectangle coffee table provide punchy accents.

The tasteful lounge opens up to a huge dining room and a kitchen with a butler’s pantry. The impressive rectangle dining table can seat a large party of ten, which is where the optional private chef service and fully stocked wine and whiskey cellar comes in very handy.

The sloping site affords stunning lake and mountain views from every aspect of the villa, which is why outdoor living areas have been bestowed with the same considerations as the interiors.

Decor is minimal to honor the magnificent picture perfect views. A clear glass carafe ghosts against the vista.

Behind the dining area, a lengthy white granite island stretches the kitchen layout. A linear suspension light highlights the kitchen dining bar, where black bar stools silhouette crisply against the clean stone. The back of the kitchen is arranged with a darkly contrasting cabinetry and a slick glossy black backsplash. Wine storage is backlit enticingly at one end of the layout, whilst a pair of pure white vases sculpt interest at the other.

A simple glass vase makes a crystal clear decor addition to the top of the kitchen island. A matt black kitchen faucet and undermount sink disrupt the smooth white countertop.

An outdoor dining table and modern outdoor chairs offer a closer connection with Mother Nature at breakfast, lunch or dinner. A bed of grass attractively breaks the dining area apart from the swimming pool, and serves as a subtle guide toward the top of the pool’s underwater steps.

An outdoor fireplace chases off the chill in the colder months.

In one of the holiday home’s four spacious king size bedroom suites, a modern platform bed is situated to look out upon the panorama, along with a set of stylish bedroom chairs.

Outside of edge-to-edge glass doors, an outdoor lounge chair and footstool recline under the sun.

The 69 square metre, 1 bed ‘Premium Villa’ creates an unmatched sense of connection with nature with 180 degree views out to the lake and surrounding mountain ranges.

A full length 30 square metre sundeck provides the perfect viewing platform, perfect with a glass of wine in hand.

If you can’t bear to leave the view, no worries, an outdoor shower will keep you fresh and connected. Industrial style plumbing fixtures and finishes blend easily with the dark exterior cladding, and become enveloped by its deeply corrugated texture.

Alternatively, enjoy a soak under the stars in the deck’s sunken bathtub by candlelight.

You’ll also find a hidden bathtub in the marginally smaller deck of the 52 square metre ‘Luxury Villa’, along with a indoor/outdoor daybed for soaking up the dreamy views.

Modern planters serve nature up onto the deck, whilst you serve the wine. The soft glow of interior lights filter through sheer drapes at the windows, providing enough illumination for an evening read.

Eye catching artwork makes a sophisticated addition to the bedroom’s dramatically dark walls.

Off-grid technology and green practises make Waimarino a high-end eco-centric accommodation. Conscious sustainable development decisions from initial planning to daily servicing minimise Waimarino’s footprint on the planet.

Nature envelops the lodge, pushing up around the al fresco dining area. An outdoor fireplace makes the outdoor eating spot into an inviting and romantic experience.

Back inside the modestly proportioned villa, the rooms open wide to the extraordinary landscape. Even the indoor rainfall shower thunders down in front of a sweeping mountainous scene. A mirror above the double sink bathroom vanity draws the awesome views further inside and builds on the impact.

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

Brave colour lovers will relish the high contrast of these four inspiring red, yellow and blue interiors. Using the three primary colours will always result in a strong impact, and this set of designs explores how to toy with the busy balance. Introducing negative spaces of white, grey and black in between gives the eyes a quiet place to rest, and gives the brights space to really pop out. We’re going to explore a full range of saturation, from uplifting splashes and solid slices of the red, blue and yellow accent colours, through to eye-catching abstract shape infusions and a kooky dream-like Piet Mondrian inspired riot.

Designer: SNKH Studio

Our first tour takes place in an apartment located in Yerevan, Armenia. An acid yellow L-shaped sofa outlines the living space, contrasted by a blue statement wall and blue geometric area rug.

Dark red accents push forward from the home entryway to complement a striking red TV stand. The modern outdoor chairs are the black Acapulco chair.

The round coffee tables are void of colour, instead offering a peaceful pause of white on the busy blue rug.

The smooth wood tone of the living room’s herringbone floor is replaced by a sharp red and white geometric design in the foyer.

Garnet triangles look like shards that have shattered down from the red roof above.

Contrasting paintwork draws attention to architectural details and composition.

In the dining room, a small round dining table is closely encircled by a party of six deep blue chairs.

Moody blue walls are pierced by a crisp white wall sconce. A matching white dining pendant light floats above the eating area in rippling concentric circles.

The kitchen is a combination of ink blue and clean white cabinets. A dark inky kitchen island commands the centre of the space with a wide dining extension.

Kitchen bar stools pull up at the bar in a conversational arrangement with the cook.

Tall blue kitchen units build a bold kitchen feature wall.

Visualizer: Brani & Desi

This Mondrian inspired interior design, entitled “Breakfast with Mondrian” is an experimental concept. The use of line, form and colour provokes modern living, like a dance. Bright active white and passive black shading creates intervals between a solid red modern sofa and a yellow accent chair.

‘”I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects.”–Piet Mondrian.

Just like the Dutch painter’s abstract paintings, oppositions of color and line depicts plastic expression of relationship in the open plan. Whilst each zone has its own function, they are always connected. Horizontal and vertical tracks pull a side chair and table set magnetically into the mix.

Red, blue, yellow accents slice and dice the layout, disguising conventional elements.

Circular pendant lights receive a floating black outline to define them in the chaos of colour.

Interconnective elements mean that the dining room cannot be without the kitchen, and the kitchen cannot be without the lounge. As in nature, everything exists in unity. Solid black slabs pick out the eating area and the main wall of kitchen appliances. Yellow outlines and yellow seated mid century modern chairs lighten the look.

Horizontal lines stabilize the dining room backdrop, inline with the rectangle dining table.

Clear globe pendant lights drift above, like bubbles lost on the wind.

A higher density of red marks the entryway to the lounge, and is pulled back in the kitchen diner.

Floor colours create a dance.

A modern fruit bowl adds an extra beat of colour to the black dining table.

Bright yellow outlines define the edges and openings of a gloss black kitchen run.

A unique staircase design climbs rights up alongside the kitchen base cabinets, in a blast of multicolour.

Every detail is electrified with pixelated vividity.

Visualizer: Monika Machnicka

A simpler communication of abstract shape brings our third home interior to life. Wide red, blue and yellow elements interlock behind a blue channel tufted sofa and red accent chair. A sputnik chandelier and matching floor lamp add bright layers to the shape theme.

In the master, twin bedroom pendant lights and a huge modern chandelier sketch smooth black outlines across a colour blocked wall.

A yellow platform bed extends from a bespoke channel tufted headboard. A blue archway paints a holding device around the bedroom vanity and paired wall sconces.

Designer: PAINTIT Photographer: Shurpenkov Andriy

Lastly, we come to a 52 square metre studio located in Kyiv, Ukraine. Yellow falls away as a tiny accent spike in this darker scheme, whilst red and blue elements strongly compete with the moody grey and rich wood grain backdrop. A smoky modular sofa builds the heart of the living space.

Throw pillows pull in a pop of red.

On one side of the central sofa, a blue framed 4 poster defines the bedroom…

… The other side of the double sided couch looks onto a red one wall kitchen. A yellow pouf adds extra interest.

A small dining area is set off to one side in the shadows of a monochrome palette.

A lantern dining room pendant light hangs a full moon over the small dining table.

White wall cabinets balance out the red kitchen base units.

Dark wood grain builds a wall of storage in the studio.

A blue closet interior complements the distinctive blue 4 poster bed.

However, there is an even larger walk in wardrobe hidden away within the large wood grain volume, which is accessed just off the home entryway.

A red and white mosaic makes a unique bathroom feature.

Seductive Belgian Home Interior (With Floor Plans)

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

A seductive grey, black, brown and wood tone decor theme runs through this luxurious 561 square metre home located in Gent, Belgium, visualised by Chub Architects. Don’t let the dark accents fool you though–this is a bright home that’s cut open by floor to ceiling glass doors that lead onto a courtyard design at ground level, and onto bedroom balconies from the second story. Book lovers will appreciate the unique bookcases that characterise modern interiors here, bringing a sophisticated vibe. Creative implementation of dividing walls shape an enviable master bedroom layout, fashioning a huge walk-in wardrobe, a niche makeup table area and a sleek glass wall ensuite.

Floor to ceiling windows break open a luxury living room, making way for a courtyard interlude between here and the neighbouring kitchen diner. The space is brightened further still with crisp white walls and cool white LED perimeter lighting.

A square coffee table layers up tonal grey elements with a graphic grey area rug.

One side of the large L-shaped sofa becomes a comfy reading spot with the introduction of an arc floor lamp.

An entire wall of unique bookshelves stretch out across the back wall of the lounge, where the home library becomes a piece of industrial art.

Dark wood and black stone effect panels decorate the room’s sleek TV wall.

Slatted installations and textured art create moments of intrigue that keep the eye continually moving around the spacious room.

Tan accent leather chairs introduce visual warmth in a sophisticated modern silhouette.

The lounge and kitchen diner establish connection via the peaceful courtyard design, whilst cleanly maintaining their boundaries.

The luxurious kitchen is clad with copious swathes of grey granite, which covers all of its walls, its soffit, cabinets, and a long kitchen island design.

Soft lighting spills down a walnut wall, highlighting its beautiful grain.

Contemporary kitchen bar stools strike a stylish pose in black powder coated metal and deep chestnut seats.

An impossibly thin linear suspension light threads a minimalist light source above the island and its dining bar.

A more formal dining area is situated to one side of the expansive kitchen, with a black table and brown seated chairs to complement the island setup.

Golden mini pendant lights hang like a row of chimes over the eating area, as though they could sing out in unison to announce that dinner is served.

In the master bedroom suite, a dividing wall has been erected in the space to make a huge walk-in wardrobe design behind the bed. Open doorways make the closet accessible from either side, and invite closet lighting and fixtures to become a part of the overall aesthetic. A swing arm wall lamp establishes the room divider as a headboard wall, throwing reading light over the pillows and one of the bedside tables. An Atollo lamp serves the other side.

A bordered area rug anchors the platform bed in the minimalist space.

A comfortable bedroom chair pulls up at a full wall of balcony doors. The L-shaped balcony connects the master to a second double bedroom, but leaves a cutaway for daylight to find the courtyard’s tree.

Another dividing wall fashions a separate spot for a makeup vanity in the master suite. This wall also creates a hallway between the bedroom entry door and closet, without disrupting the sleeping zone.

In the master’s ensuite bathroom, a double sink dips inside a monolithic vanity unit. Matching faucets face each other from either side.

Stem pendant lights double up at the end of the bathroom vanity to highlight a decorative display. An inlay of black glass reflects the shower enclosure.

The spacious shower enclosure divides the room.

A linear shelf recess above a freestanding bathtub mirrors the black glass insert on the vanity side of the room. Its minimalist faucet design echoes the line of the vanity taps.

The bathtub is positioned next to a glass wall that looks into the master bedroom’s walk-in closet.

Grey granite engulfs the space.

A simple rustic wooden stool serves up soap and sponges by the tub.

In the double bedroom across the balcony from the master suite, a set of bookshelves defines the feel of the space, filling it with decorative items and select tomes. A second, private, balcony area stretches out beyond another wall of glass.

A low stone slab fashions a minimalist bedside shelf. A modern wall sconce lights a higgledy row of bedtime reading books, like a full moon over a derelict little village.

Muted tones keep the open shelves of many accessories looking tidily cohesive. Drawers offer a line of more practical concealed storage across the lower section.

A comfortable reading chair, matching cream footstool and a contrasting round coffee table have been teamed up under natural light from the balcony doors.

Back downstairs, a small powder room is given a luxe look with edge-to-edge wood wall panelling and another solid stone vanity piece. Floating shelves hold hand soaps and lotion, next to a tall backlit mirror that toys with the perception of space.

A charcoal toilet melds darkly into the rich panelling.

Ground floor plan with lounge, kitchen diner with butler kitchen and walk-in pantry, entryway walk-in closet and powder room, terrace and dividing courtyard.

Upper floor plan, with two luxurious double bedrooms and one single, plus three private ensuite bathrooms.

Fashioning Friendly Scandinavian Interiors

Wed, 06 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

Home is a place where we feel that we belong, somewhere we enjoy spending time–just like hanging out with a good friend. And, just like seeing a friendly face, cheerful spaces uplift our mood and affect how we go about our day. These four Scandinavian home interiors embody that welcoming feeling, with easy going breezy white decor, cosy textures, the natural touch of timber, uplifting indoor plant life and joyful modern pattern. We’ll also wander around a light-filled glass wall home office design, a tranquil balcony retreat, a balanced bedroom and lounge combo, plus an energised black and white arrangement with lively greenery and boho touches.

Visualizer: Quang Dũng

Cosy textures envelop our first Scandinavian living room like a friendly hug.

A knitted pouf nibbles at the edge of a geometric rug, and deep cushions make a den of comfort on the sofa.

A dual headed floor lamp and a knitted throw makes an ideal spot to settle down with a good book and a cup of coffee.

Wooden ladder shelves house a family of plants against the TV wall. The dining set carries the beech accent through.

In the minimalist dining room, an AIM pendant light makes a match for the lounge floor lamp. An adjustable shelving unit forms an attractive backdrop with books, plants and monochrome prints.

A glazed volume sections off one corner of the living space to make a dedicated workspace with library. The modern home office desk is positioned socially up against the glass.

The minimalist home library is furnished with a comfortable reading chair in a rich honey hue. A small side table holds a mini planter of succulents–just in case the several shelf plants weren’t quite enough.

Wood herringbone flooring comes to a stop at the kitchen, where it is replaced by a contemporary geometric tile.

Mosaic tiles pattern a cheerful Scandi backsplash along the prep area of the white kitchen. Wooden shelf inserts disrupt the cool surrounds with comforting moments of natural texture and warmth.

Visualizer: Walk the Room

Pops of blue change up the vibe on our next home tour. The deep colour contrasts against rich brown and burgundy elements, giving the living room confident character. A set of decorative wall hooks throw pattern against a clean white wall.

The mixture of scatter cushions, soft knitted throw, ribbed area rug and wicker coffee table come together in a party of homey textures.

An eclectic array of modern dining chairs enliven the small dining area off the kitchen.

Bamboo topped kitchenware and a wooden chopping board add earthy elements to the kitchen.

Blue & burgundy artwork and accents frame a grey platform bed in the master. Sheer grey drapes filter the sunlight and billow at a balcony door.

A quiet white headboard wall allows the modern wall sconces’ vibrant burgundy colourway to gain due attention.

Out on the balcony, a menagerie of planters and outdoor furniture fashion a tranquil retreat. Lavender plants release a relaxing scent to promote rest and rejuvenation. A cushioned bench reclines by the outdoor chairs, aimed purposefully at the sunset view.

Decorative mood lights scatter around the terrace like glowing pebbles.

Evening refreshments are served on an outdoor coffee table.

Visualizer: Johannes Lindqvist

In a 3D project designed to explore photo realism, we see a replica of a real-estate photoshoot by “Entrence Mäkleri”. This white living room is also the bedroom of the home, whilst the kitchen and dining area command their own separate room.

A glass coffee table keeps the centre of the small room looking open and more spacious.

Black and white prints add a bold point of interest to the clean white room.

A clear glass vase and its metallic friend top off a collection of coffee table books.

A pair of brown leather chairs warmly offset the cool black and white decor.

Over in the bedroom half of the room, a swing arm lamp blends with the white headboard wall.

Upon entering the kitchen, we’re met with the bright welcome of a red persian rug, which defines the small dining area from the galley kitchen. Clear perspex dining chairs maximise the sense of space and light, whereas the black dining room pendant light gives the area substance.

A modern candlestick holder is set on the window sill, ready to light up cosy candle lit dinners.

The dividing wall between the lounge/bedroom combo and the entryway has been utilised as a shoe storage wall, with the help of a simple ladder shelf. Mirrored doors over the coat closet make the entryway look double its actual size.

A radiator cover makes a handy entryway shelf for keys and such.

Open shelving replaces upper cabinets in the kitchen to push out the walls.

White kitchen units fall back into matching walls.

White subway tiles lightly texture the backsplash to combat the plainness of the scheme, whilst a black countertop adds some visual weight.

Monochrome decor adds punchy dark accents.

Visualizer: Ślusarczyk 3D

Finally, we end with a tour that seems alive with the bustle of black and white elements, an abundance of indoor plants and some earthy bohemian touches. Two sets of wall shelves cover the entire sofa wall with greenery and an aesthetically pleasing black and white book collection.

The nursery of plant babies doesn’t end there though–another alcove of shelves puts several more to bed. Macramé wall hangings up the boho vibe.

Tactile wicker chairs encircle a round dining table by the woven wall decor.

The small kitchen interior is a heart warming display of natural wood, lush greenery and sunlight.

White wall cabinets reflect natural light along the length of the galley layout.

Solid oak floors connect the rooms.

The only break from oak flooring occurs in the bathroom, where a decorative black and white tile better serves the wet zone.

A minimalist bathroom vanity light suits the simplicity of the layout, which also serves as a laundry room.

Personalising A Modern Interior With Green, Blue, Pink & Yellow Accent Decor

Mon, 04 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

The colours we choose for our interiors can say a lot about our personalities: Dark, sombre and serious, vivid and vivacious, a monochrome minimalist. This 146 square metre home in Kyiv, Ukraine, is filled with a bright and playful palette that vibes with quirky displays of modern art. Designer Nadya Chabannaya has used green, blue, pink & yellow accent decor to energise kids’ rooms and adult living spaces alike. Common accent shades thread through each area but appear original and exciting as they’re used in new and eye catching ways. A cool grey backdrop softly soothes the space around punchy accent pieces, creating a balanced and harmonious scheme.

Photographer: Yevhenii Avramenko

Panel molding adds character to a pure white TV wall, to pull it forward into a room of eye catching pink, blue and green accents.

A modular sofa sets down a royal blue anchor in the lounge. A taupe throw pulls the statement piece together with light wood tone elements in the room.

A Tom Ford coffee table book accessorises the round coffee table, which contrasts darkly upon a natural woven rug.

Chevron wood flooring adds subtle contemporary pattern to the room. A plant stand on legs gives indoor plants an elegant boost.

Tall green kitchen cabinets separate the living room from the home entryway to create a useful hallway. A pink accent chair challenges the kitchen’s bright saturation.

Modern art makes a quirky splash of colour over a chic entryway bench.

A velvety black throw and a decorative tray make a cosy feature on the hallway seat.

A suspension light with planter complements the green colourway of the kitchen.

The solid green L-shaped kitchen makes a colourblocked corner in the open plan living room.

A pale wood tone kitchen island and pink bar stools lift and lighten the green dominant scheme.

The softly curved spouts of the kitchen taps complement the rounded silhouette of the globe pendant lights.

A pale concrete backsplash and countertop sit back in the scheme, allowing the brighter moments to shine.

Decorative vases and trays meld with the kitchen’s grey background.

See more ideas for eye catching kitchen bar stools here.

A deep lipstick pink console unit matches the curve of the living room window wall.

A round dining table slots smoothly into the semi-circular augmentation of the room. Grey Gubi Beetle chairs complement the curved aesthetic.

Tiered dining room pendant lights are strung like pearls over the eating spot.

On top of the rich coloured console table, a large glass vase adds height to the dining room. Circular marble wall sconces dot the space around it.

Natural accessories make tasteful table decorations.

As we enter the master bedroom, we’re met by a scene of mustard yellow bedside drawer units and a muted pink accent pillow. The contrasting colour combination makes an unusual modern statement.

A minimalist modern wall sconce can be directed over the small side table or over the headboard for reading.

A spherical pendant light makes a more decorative addition to the other bedside. See more ideas for modern bedroom pendant lights here.

Black bordered cushions sharpen the bed set. A woven tray complements the waffle weave bed cover.

Pink and blue pastels compete with deep mustard decor in the modern kid’s room. Chequered pattern and curved motifs making an exciting play environment.

A cute bunny themed kid’s chair pulls up at a kid’s table with matching dipped feet.

The Tolemeo lamp adds a dark accent to the kids workspace. A spare Gubi Beetle chair from the dining room makes a stylish desk chair.

Stuffed animals make a fun wall display by the floating desk and baby blue bookcase.

A floating balloon lamp makes a whimsical reading light over the window bench. Storage drawers utilise the space beneath the bench and the bunk bed.

A dedicated home office is flooded with shades of purple, blue and yellow decor. Circular wall art pulls all of the colourful accents together.

Wooden closets stow away office supplies. A double headed floor lamp sports a matching wooden stand.

A light blue desk melds with identical hued wall paint. The striking designer table lamp design is a Tizio.

Colour coordinated storage systems are revealed inside the office cabinets.

The master bedroom has its own enclosed balcony space, which has been repurposed as a reading nook. A mid century modern chair and side table gather on a geometric floor.

A Bauhaus print adds an interesting designer touch alongside twin tinted glass vases.

The dimensions of the walk in closet are visually expanded with a pitch black and pistachio green interior.

Blue geometric bathroom tiles clad the side of the bathtub and the wet wall of the family bathroom.

A white modern bathroom vanity pales into a wall of white mosaic effect tiles, which allows a bright multicoloured floor treatment to take the spotlight.

This darker bathroom scheme has a more luxurious atmosphere, derived from black marble wall tiles and a jade green vanity unit.

A deep framed vanity mirror projects from the marbled wall. A unique bathroom faucet draws an angular arc over an integrated green sink.

The floor plan better illustrates the beautiful curve of the dining area behind the lounge, and the added balcony space on the master bedroom. We can also see the copious amount of closet space in the apartment.

Building Warm Luxe With Brown Accent Decor & Stunning Natural Stone

Fri, 01 Jan 2021 14:45:00 GMT

Stunning natural stone elements and rich brown accents construct a luxurious 210 square metre apartment interior, located in St. Petersburg, Russia. Designed by Chub Architects, this is a space that’s set to wow all who visit with its unabashed use of expensive materials and its free flowing layout. Wood slatted room dividers and window shutters instil a transparency into the home that hardly wavers. Almost every area is viewable by another, whether that be a stylish ensuite bathroom, a lavish dressing room, or an open ended modern kitchen design. Get the full lowdown with the detailed floor plan at the end of the apartment tour.

The living room is an elegant contemporary arrangement, with linear modern sofas and a cluster of low level coffee tables. Light granite slabs with large chunks of quartz nudge at the edges of the minimalist scheme, adding compact but luxurious focal points.

Tan accents add warmth to the pale grey and white room decor.

Modern wall shelves make a striking black criss-cross design across a plain living room wall.

Tan scatter cushions on the sofas complement a designer lounge chair across the room. A small side table and a unique lamp complete the reading area.

A console table is worked into the bookcase to create one cohesive wall of stylish storage.

The coffee table set can also be reconfigured to serve as handy end tables.

A large eye catching granite panel provides the showcase piece for the living room, right in the centre spot.

The floating granite slab conceals a secret TV, which is revealed by smoothly sliding the glorious panel aside.

Tiny track lights highlight the ribbed backboard of the TV mount wall.

At the back of the living room dining room combo, a modern dining set sits lightly in the scheme.

A pair of jet black dining pendant lights give the area some tonal oomph.

A granite clad niche echoes the outline of the rectangle dining table.

Decorative vases cluster in a chic black and white table centrepiece.

Cinnamon seat pads tie in with the warm brown accents that sprinkle the neighbouring lounge.

A dividing wall solidly splits the kitchen from the dining room and lounge, though walkways remain open on either side of it. A kitchen island fills the centre of the generously sized room.

Tall larder units and oven housing are set back into the deep dividing wall.

Wood slatted shades draw across all of the tall windows in the living spaces.

Stainless steel stem pendants streak down to the kitchen island, balancing out the modern kitchen faucet at the other end.

On a smaller scale, unique salt and pepper shakers seem to mirror the side by side arrangement of the vertical pendants. Nothing else complicates a stunning white and grey marble wall, which is more like a piece of art than a backsplash.

In the master suite, a cognac headboard warmly disrupts an all white bedroom scheme. The black bedroom pendant lights that flank each side of the platform bed are a smaller take on the cone pendants used in the dining area. Ribbed white wall panelling harks back to the living room’s TV wall too. The homogeneity of silhouette and textures create one fluid mood throughout the home.

A bench seat pulls the cognac accent out of the bedframe and into the floor space. Books stack at one end of the seat to make it a multifunctional piece in the minimalist layout.

A Fia carafe tops a boxy bedside table.

Great glass doors open up to give access to a spectacular ensuite.

The luxury bathroom is also the entryway to a dressing room. Wood slatted doors are set at either end of the ensuite, with backlit garnet rails and shelves gleaming from within.

Glamorous white marble swirls across the walls of the vanity area, and inside the showers wet zone. A small side table displays select toiletries inside the large enclosure.

A more rustic side table adds a natural wooden accent over by the freestanding bathtub.

The timber table makes an ideal accompaniment to a set of wood slatted window shutters behind the tub.

Inside the dressing room, a marble makeup table floats against a floor to ceiling marble panel. A designer vanity stool makes a shapely addition to the glam station.

A huge slab of granite greets you at the door of bedroom number two.

The granite boundary is split in the middle to make way for a wood slatted section and some light sharing. Natural light filters through into a dressing area on the other side of the sleep space. The bedside light is the String Lights Cone Pendant by Flos.

The bedside unit drops in a casual rustic crate aesthetic.

An Eames bird hops to work over a floating desk.

More wood slats create a light sharing screen between the bedroom’s workspace and an ensuite bathroom. A low level bathroom vanity boosts a unique basin design.

The favoured cone pendant silhouette has been dropped in the home entryway, to be replaced by a spherical piece in the same black colourway.

A smart pouf brings in the brown accent thread.

The granite decor element makes up a lavish entryway table, which seems to be missing a headphone stand.

The guest bathroom just off the entryway is awash with glorious granite. Modern wall sconces are mounted on white vertical slats.

A neat shower enclosure squeezes into the narrow layout.

A wall hung toilet increases visible floor space.

The floor plan gives us access to the full scale glory of the master suite, with its huge shower and extensive walk-in wardrobe.

Green & Brown Interior Decor Palettes Inspired by Nature

Thu, 31 Dec 2020 14:45:00 GMT

Does any colour palette speak more of nature than shades of green & tonal brown? Foliage green and rich earth accents remind us of walks deep in the forest and spending peaceful time in landscaped gardens. This connection with the outdoors makes the palette a soothing choice for decorating modern interiors too. In exploration of this revitalising combo, we’re featuring two homes with contemporary room designs that still remind us of our natural roots. Take a stroll through green, brown and wood tone living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms that are designed to settle your soul with mother nature’s most loved shades, without ever leaving the confines of home.

Visualizer: Studio VAE

Located in Minsk, Belarus, the open plan living space of this 113 square metre apartment is characterised by golden brown accents over a linear modern sofa and a modern wooden kitchen.

A rounded rectangle coffee table grows a refreshing green accent into the centre of the room, placed upon a tonal brown area rug.

The earthy rug compliments the warmth of wood chevron flooring.

Forest green paintwork shades the walls of the lounge, where panel moulding provides definition around the TV wall.

Minimalist dining room pendant lights make a low key trio over the black dining table. Unique black and ruddy brown dining chairs warm the combo.

Above the wooden kitchen base units, a matching timber panel provides a backdrop for open kitchen shelving. More panelling warmly frames out the one wall kitchen to give it added presence in the open plan.

Wood chevron flooring is replaced by hard wearing tile in the home entryway, making it a practical spot to kick off muddy boots after being in the real outdoors.

Slate grey and natural wood grain join together to create a sophisticated bedroom scheme.

A small bedside table rests by a grey city view, which makes the natural interior palette feel like a warm hug.

A modern wall sconce adds an eclipse to the bathroom vanity wall, in orbit of a round mirror. Rustic wood grain is combined with a linear modern aesthetic to create an attractive floating unit.

Narrow wooden cabinets make clever use of a leftover niche by the cistern wall.

The green and brown interior palette gives an interesting take on a modern kid’s room. The mature palette tames the more childish elements to create a space that all the family can feel at home with.

A unique kids bed slots into a wall of storage by the double workspace. Find more imaginative options for kids’ beds here.

Custom made bunk beds furnish the second kids’ bedroom, painted in a saturated matte green finish.

Brown and slate scatter cushions accessorise the bunks.

Decorative wall hooks and adjustable shelves provide flexible storage options across a huge pegboard wall. Wooden toys make a fun display up top, whilst the hooks hold backpacks and floor cushions where they’re most easily accessible.

Green shelves slot into a white volume cabinets by the desk.

A pacman shelf chomps at the window wall.

Light green bathroom tiles make a minty fresh stripe around the bathroom, lit softly by a spherical bathroom vanity light.

A granite inlay wraps the wet wall around a matching granite clad bathtub.

Visualizer: Kseniya Vinokurova

Our second tour takes place at a home located in Moscow, Russia. Frosty green sofa upholstery gains warmth from brown accent cushions, and tonal shading from grey pillows and a throw. One wooden round coffee table melds quietly with the natural wood flooring, whilst a second brings a beat of jet black into the mix.

Sage green paintwork smooths the TV wall with a restful hue.

Black dining room pendant lights hang in a set of five over the six place dining set.

A leather Eames lounge chair gives the lounge area a chic designer touch.

Black lighting, black tables, and black appliances create a cohesive dark thread through the open plan that draws attention to zoning.

Slatted panels push pattern through a wood clad wall.

Green kitchen wall cabinets camouflage into matching wall paint to give the kitchen a more open and spacious feel around head height.

Beige dining chairs pull lighter tones from the wooden kitchen base units.

Striking and original geometric floor pattern fades from dark green through to mint, white and wood tone to encompass all elements of the room palette.

A wooden headboard panel expends the grandeur of a modern platform bed in the master.

Patterned panels give the room a cosy feel.

Brass wall sconces flank the upholstered bedstead.

Twin beds are divided into equal spaces to avoid sibling rivalry. See more smart ideas for shared kids’ rooms.

The room divider between the kids’ beds is fitted with bookshelves for bedtime reads and favourite toys.

Perforated wooden doors define a corner closet, extending the dotty aesthetic of a neighbouring climbing wall.

The kids’s indoor activities don’t just stop at a climbing wall, but unfold as a full gym wall with climbing rungs and rope, gymnastic rings and monkey bars. Crash mats keep everyone safe from injury below.

A child’s table and pair of kid’s chairs make a comfy reading and crafts area by the window.

Brown and beige tiling makes a mellow match in the bathroom.

Vertical tiles encase the bathtub and wet zone.

Narrow wooden shelves accentuate the vertical arrangement of the bathroom wall tiles, and exaggerate the height of the tall ceiling.

Confident Monochrome Interiors With Slick Form & Functionality

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 14:45:57 GMT

High contrast black and white decor makes up these four confident interior designs, where sleek form equals slick functionality. The simplicity of the colour theme leaves all attention on the abstract nature of modern furniture shapes, the complexity of textile, and the intrinsic relationship between home layout and daily living. Come with us as we take a tour of a high-end apartment with a forever changing layout of designer pieces and sculpture. Follow on with a home given over to stretched linear form, and another with polished details under a halo of light. Then, fInish off with a place that promotes rest and recovery, amidst a halftone textural feast.

Visualizer: Hot Walls

Located in one of the most expensive buildings in Moscow, within the residential complex Polyanka 44, this premium apartment design has been changed around seven times. In this latest version, the minimalist white living room is disrupted by heavy black accent pieces that make abstract silhouettes.

A round coffee table stands out in the centre spot of a large rug that shades the floor with the slightest whisper of grey. Grey scatter cushions break up the L-shaped white expanse of couch.

A floating tv stand wraps the edge of the TV mount wall to create an offbeat asymmetrical feature.

There is a dividing wall of cabinets between the lounge and home entryway that seem to glide into the layout, giving the impression that elements of the room are shifting.

The TV wall and the cabinets behind the sectional sofa rise to only half the room height, which increases the feeling of spaciousness.

Black frames call attention to huge double height windows.

The eye catching lounge chair that challenges the view is the Armchair Serie Up 2000, which has an Armchair Serie Up 2000 with an interesting history.

The chair’s form is inspired by silhouettes of ancient fertility goddesses, accompanied by an attached ottoman that resembles an oppressive ball and chain.

Decorative black vases and trays create a sculptural extension to the coffee table.

A unique floor lamp makes a bright reading spot at one end of the crisp couch.

A square lobby sets up an impressive first impression. A large luxury pouf forces footfall to circulate around it.

Sculptural art has been changed out during the many redesigns of this space. A stone Buddah has been swapped for a Jesus statue in the entryway’s metal wireframe display case, like a metamorphic gallery exhibition.

Opposite the lounge, an ultra-modern dining area has been configured with high contrast black and white dining chairs, a clean white table and a striking black linear suspension light.

A second black linear suspension light highlights the neighbouring minimalist kitchen island, creating a strong visual link between the two.

The futuristic island is sliced into a unique angular form that manipulates negative space.

A black sink and hob are complemented by dark trim under the kitchen island countertop.

A countertop extractor unit keeps the island arrangement streamlined.

Resembling a mini kitchen island, a unique DJ stand rocks the same chiselled geometric profile.

Visualizer: Eugene Shkilnyuk

Our next interior is a home of stretched linear form. The low profile of the modern sofa exaggerates its stretch, whilst the kitchen island is bumped out with a sleek dining table extension.

Grey carpeting cosily connects the couch with the TV wall.

A smooth TV stand floats the width of the living room toward an indoor plant, which sprouts mature greenery from a tactile concrete pot.

The solo plant is large to make up for lack of plant life in the rest of the space.

A tray table nestles within the modern sofa design to keep the rest of the lounge floor area completely clear.

A white linear suspension light spans the entire length of the kitchen island and dining table extension, pulling them together as one fluid piece.

Uniform vertical lines segment the clean white kitchen run. Find more inspiration for stylish modern kitchens here.

Unique dining chairs disrupt the kitchen’s simplicity with curvaceous sculptural form.

Visualizer: Seeuhauz Architects

Our third crisp and confident interior unfolds under a sharp halo of perimeter light.

The overhead light reflects in a set of chic nesting coffee tables.

A comfortable white armchair creates a light and curvaceous contrast with the graphite linear sofa design.

An open coffee table book styles the lower of the two nesting coffee tables, leaving the bridging table free for setting down refreshments.

Custom TV cabinets make up a solid wall of storage around a recessed screen.

A modern floor lamp puts task lighting over one arm of the sofa.

At the other side of the couch, a wraparound end table hugs a chaise extension.

A broad walkway passes between the back of the couch and the kitchen diner, which keeps the room size feeling generous and each area clearly zoned.

The concrete kitchen island melds simply with the concrete floor, so that the eye moves easily over its large bulk.

Black cabinets and a short black backsplash provide a dark core to the kitchen design.

The dark sink area counterbalances the paleness of the island and its matching kitchen bar stools. A clear glass vase makes another light addition.

Black window blinds balance out the shaded feature wall.

A pair of mini pendant lights provide a minimalist lighting solution to the dining bar that doesn’t interfere with the kitchen aesthetic.

Tall units close around the island in a clean white L-shaped layout.

Moving around to the back of the living room TV wall, we find that the flip side of the cabinets morph into a home workspace.

Dark wooden cabinets bridge the minimalist home office niche.

A modern swivel chair wheels up to the computer desk, which is subtly illuminated with a ribbon of LED light.

The grey bedroom is a plush cushiony cocoon with sound softening wall panelling.

Glass lantern-like bedroom pendant lights add interesting form.

Round bedside tables align with the large pendant shades, adding to their impact.

The master bedroom opens into a luxurious dressing room.

A large round pouf and circular rug divide the walk in wardrobe from an ensuite bathroom on the other side.

Backlit garment rails give the dressing room a boutique essence.

White marble cladding marks the ensuite’s wet zone.

We enter the ensuite via a frameless shower enclosure and a unique pedestal sink.

Perimeter lighting drops an atmospheric glow.

A floor to ceiling mirror increases the sense of space in the compact room.

Sharp lines slice up the next white and grey bathroom scheme in the home.

A linear marble clad vanity is a custom fit, whilst a square toilet adds a boxy minimalist touch.

Visualizer: Nom Bureau

Lastly, we arrive in Kyiv, Ukraine, to the Full Moon project. This concept is born out of a combination of countless shades and textures of one color. An expanse of black wood grain and matching paintwork makes up an especially dark interior that’s pierced with lighter accents.

The monochrome solution was arrived upon to promote relaxation, rest and recovery. The high contrast palette is the main feature of the interior, which at the same time starkly emphasises the exquisite detail in furniture, the nature of textiles, and homes in on tiny decor elements. A square coffee table lifts sharply away from a dark rug design, whilst the lounge chair’s rounded shape really pops.

Halftones and shading bring the monochrome space to life. Black scatter cushions break up the soft grey small sectional sofa.

The round lounge chair is a modern take on the papasan chair.

A designer table lamp brightens a console table, whereas LED strips highlight the wall shelves. Lighting here is not just a source of illumination, but an atmospheric element of design.

The dining area comes alive beneath the fluid line of an extraordinary dining room chandelier.

Modern dining chairs make a dark accompaniment to a black glossy dining table.

A textural feast of glossy and matte surfaces, stone, wood and metals reveal the monochrome range of the interior.

Glass modern fruit bowls delicately catch the light.

The ever so slightly lighter tone of the modern dining chairs creates a level of layering against the black kitchen wall behind. Closeness of shade but difference in texture helps express the detail too.

Moving out of the living space and into the master bedroom, we enter equally dark territory. Two modern wall sconces do their best to light the way.

Wall mounted bedside units fade away in a matt black finish.

Underneath the bedstead, one continuous strip of LED light gives the platform bed a floating illusion.

Ribbon LEDs make an illuminating headboard feature too.

Dark drapes meld with the walls.

Light wood flooring lifts the shadowy decor scheme.

A single shelf underlines the TV.

Decorative vases provide visual interest.

The bathroom is an impressive spa-like space with a built-in tub.

The black bathtub appears to have sunk naturally into a monolithic slab.

A black toilet camouflages against an ebony wall.

Coppery wall tiles warm the space.

Sloping sinks make shallow waterfalls in the double sink bathroom vanity.

Super Small Homes With Sleek Interior Styling (Plus Floor Plans Under 30 Sqm)

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 14:45:00 GMT

Super small and characterised by sleek interior styling, these two modern apartment designs truly master their very limited 30 square metre footprints. Made-to-measure furniture makes perhaps the biggest impact on these small spaces, providing solutions that not only hide away life’s luggage, but make visually enlarging contributions with bright white and mirrored finishes. Bedrooms are tackled in two entirely different ways in each space, with one compact side layout, and another Murphy bed solution for the lounge. The kitchens in each home feel surprisingly spacious, luxurious even, with added dining peninsulas and slick decorative touches. Study detailed floor plans at the end of each tour for more inspo.

Designer: JD Architects

Green accents invigorate the white living room of this clean compact 28 square metre apartment in Gdansk, Poland. A bottle green accent chair is completed by mint splashed artwork, and green shelf inserts around the room.

Wall cabinets above the sofa form a connective element with the neighbouring kitchen. This seamless connection affords both areas a strong presence in the space.

A clean white finish unites the storage elements in the room, which also brightly pushes out the walls to make the compact space feel larger and lighter. An indoor plant thrives by a balcony door, which is the room’s sole source of sunlight.

Mirrored doors create the illusion of extended floor area.

A linear suspension light elongates the look of a small dining peninsula on the side of the kitchen. A wooden countertop gives the dining area a unique look from the rest of the white installation.

Camouflaging white doors conceal the kitchen shelves when cooking is not in action, to instantly clean up the multipurpose room.

A decorative tower of open kitchen shelving is complemented by green framed kitchen bar stools and a saturated green entryway.

The underside of the dining peninsula has been left open to let the line of flooring flow and visually expand the room.

On the other side of the mirrored doorway, we find ourselves in the bedroom.

A green bedroom workspace breaks up the sleek white decor.

Bookshelves cut into the end of the wardrobe wall, starting off a ripple of green accent handles along their length.

A green radiator cover lets heat out of vents in its top to allow the bed to be pushed flush against the wall.

An alarm clock and bedside lamp utilises the radiator cover’s solid side as a bedside table. The piece flows straight into a narrow green bookcase at one end to form one fluid line.

The bedroom is a minimalist pale grey solution with modern perimeter lighting.

A single green vase brings in the home’s accent colour.

Apartment floor plan.

Visualizer: Simple Forms Interiors

Our next tour takes place in a private residence located in Moscow, Russia. A different vibe grows in this 30 square metre interior, born from snug furniture under rich brown and warm grey colourways. Glass walls draw across two sides of the living room, sandwiching a small sofa at its centre.

A Murphy bed drops down in place of the sofa after dark. Lounge side tables become bedside cabinets.

The fluffy deep pile rug suits both of the cosy room functions, and lays down a soft track between adjoined spaces.

On the other side of the lounge/bedroom combo, an enclosed balcony contains a dressing table and a single futon.

The lightweight round coffee table is easily moved aside for the room transformation.

The kitchen layout tracks around in a shallow C-shape, which opens to the lounge when the glass doors are drawn back.

The glass divides share natural light all the way to the back of the narrow apartment.

Wooden tv wall decor matches the kitchen’s upper cabinets, creating one cohesive visual.

Black framework around the doors establishes clear divides in the apartment space when the panels are shut–despite their clear panes.

Modern kitchen bar stools stand in a light reflecting mirrored hallway. The stools’ black colourway balances out the integrated oven opposite.

A pegboard wall provides additional shelving and wall hook options going into the home entryway.

The mirrored walls hide away a generous amount of closet space.

Wine storage slots into the end of the upper kitchen cabinets, making them an easy grab from the dining peninsula.

A grey vanity stool makes a neat companion for the custom-made dressing table. A recessed bookshelf slots in beside the vanity mirror for a decorative touch.

At the other side of the enclosed balcony, a comfortable futon warms the grey space with its burnt orange upholstery. A vase of orange flowers accentuates the chair’s accent colour.

Decorative and useful shelving units are used to break up a run of storage in the home entryway too, where sleek grey cabinets meet attractive wood grain.

The bathroom is accessed from the entryway of the apartment, through a frameless door that disappears into colour coordinated grey walls.

Black track lights push through the apartment, guiding the way in.

Inside the small bathroom design, a unique bathroom sink stands out from the rest of the grey wall decor on a smooth wood tone vanity.

Wood effect tiles clad the back of the bathtub and shower wet zone, and continue across a concealed toilet cistern wall. Grey concrete tiles create cool intervals.

The apartment floor plan better illustrates the linear flow of living areas, and the good amount of storage on offer within secretive cabinetry.

Two Family Focussed Home Interiors Filled With Light & Love

Fri, 25 Dec 2020 14:45:38 GMT

Light and love exude from these two family focussed home interiors, created by DSEN. Wide open living spaces encourage family members to come together and interact whilst partaking in separate activities, whether that be cooking or catching up on a little TV. In each of these large open plan living rooms, there is also an additional function added to the standard lounge kitchen diner combo. Family home number one includes a very open modern home office, where mum or dad can get a little work done without being locked far away. In the second welcoming family home, it’s all about creating memories together in an elegant open plan music room.

Photographer: Hey! Cheese

A double height window brings sunlight rushing into the open plan living room of our first modern family home interior. Dark grey curtains frame and accentuate its impressive height.

A second large window cracks open a home workspace behind the lounge, making a single story room feel just as light and loved.

Greenery fills a natural timber round coffee table in front of the modern sofa, creating an interior garden to compensate for the grey built-up view.

Under the staircase, the space has been utilised as storage and as a TV wall. Wood cladding melds the multipurpose pieces together as one stylish accent.

A glass balustrade makes a light addition to the top of the wood clad wall, with white hardware pulling it together.

The open mezzanine landing creates a valuable connection, allowing family members on the upper and lower stories to communicate easily.

A curved protrusion on the landing forms a romantic balcony-like addition.

The mezzanine also serves as a mounting point for lighting over the double height lounge. Down in the living room, indoor plants revel in the generous spill of natural sunlight.

Wood grain elements move the eye around the predominantly white space, creating a reassuring flow of warmth and natural texture.

In the modern home office, an L-shaped installation of bookcases pull around the desk like a warm hug. A comfortable reading chair and floor lamp make a cosy addition to the workspace.

Drawer inserts optimise the bookcase storage, providing convenient stow away spots for stationery.

A stylish table lamp and a glass vase subtly decorate the desktop.

A much smaller book cabinet furnishes the opposite end of the lounge. Exterior book ledges sweetly display a child’s favourite books.

Over in the kitchen diner section of the open plan living room, a white dining room pendant light crisply announces the family eating area.

A single platform bed and a modern dressing table put wooden accents into the first bedroom. A frosted glass closet reveals a very organised clothing collection.

A number of unique planters dot the space.

The concrete planters and unique plant stands build layers of texture.

Plant life wakes up a tranquil kids bedroom design too.

Sporadic inclusions of soft colour enliven the white and wood tone modern kid’s room.

Climbing holds scale a wood clad statement wall. A wooden kid’s chair and table set complement the fun feature.

Our second family focussed home interior is a wide open city apartment with wall to wall windows. A long floating tv stand draws attention to the generous room dimensions.

There is no area rug present in the living room, which makes the space feel even bigger. A set of contrasting coffee tables and a side table drift in the sea of open space.

The area behind the sofa has been fashioned into a music room.

Bespoke bookshelves and subtle wall units frame a treasured electric piano.

The music area sits back into the walls, giving it a streamlined appearance that doesn’t encroach upon the adjacent lounge.

A family friendly kitchen diner occupies the final aspect of the large room. The white walls and ceiling ensure that natural light bounces all the way to the back.

The wood laminate floor has been cut away to define the kitchen diner space from the lounge and music room. A sweeping pathway creates a faux hallway effect.

Two Muuto Ambit dining room pendant lights pair up to throw spotlight onto the rectangle dining table.

Mismatched dining chairs create an eclectic look–like a modern take on The Three Bears house…

…Though in this Scandinavian style dining setup, Goldilocks would have to break Baby Bear’s dining bench.

A wall of kitchen cabinets are fitted flush up to a soffit behind the dining area, which gives the installation a clean custom finish.

A Hay Analog wall clock passes the time upon sleek white wall panelling.

The kitchen countertop is a unique curved design that cuts around the corner of the arrangement. A ribbed fascia adds an interesting design element into the room.

Beige base cabinets warm up the inside of the kitchen prep area. Indoor plants add colour and softness to the space.

Brass trims add a luxe touch to open kitchen shelves and cabinet hardware.

A made-to-measure headboard has modern wall sconces added for a smart hotel-like finish. Small bedside tables are delicately adorned with decorative vases and greenery.

Black framed windows add some weight to the light bedroom decor scheme.

The bedroom door is camouflaged within a wood effect wardrobe run.

In the single bedroom, a double workspace makes a perfect setup for mum or dad to help out with homework.

Four Different Approaches To The Minimalist Interior Style

Thu, 24 Dec 2020 14:45:19 GMT

When we think of the minimalist style, we think of clean simplicity and crisp lines. For sure these characteristics embody the minimalist way, but there is more than one way to crack an egg. These four home designs each explore an entirely different approach to minimalism in interiors, offering takes on abstract Russian minimalism, brutalist inspired spaces, mid century vibes and cutting edge modernity. We look at the use of shading within neutral spaces too, exploring a palette with deep tonal accents and black anchors, the contrast of concrete against natural timber elements, zoning with rich brown intervals, and ethereal white surrounds with the lightest whisper of grey.

Designer: Inga Harisova   Visualizer: Nikolay Limanskiy

Displaying links with Suprematism, this example of Russian minimalism uses abstract shape to construct a stylised modern living space. If you like this look, then be sure to check out this modern take on soviet minimalism too.

Designer lounge furniture gains due attention in simple surroundings. Decor items are pared back to only what is useful for sitting, lighting, or providing a surface to set things down on.

The only exception to the utilitarian rule of this room is a single decorative wall mirror. The organic shaped glass makes a tinted reflection of the wall light over the leather sofa.

Sheer white voiles softly diffuse sunlight from huge windows.

A chic reading area is fashioned with a chestnut accent lounge chair, shapely floor lamp and a small side table with a freshly filled water carafe.

The modern fireplace sweeps into view like a piece of sculptural abstract art. A groove splits the face of the unique chimney breast, slicing down to the narrow opening.

Earthy brown tones continue into the dining room, where a modern wooden dining table is paired with a set of contemporary brown dining chairs.

An accent chair and floor lamp elegantly furnish the corner of the dining room, along with a piece of textured wall art.

A minimalist dining room light contorts into an asymmetrical cross above the table.

The kitchen unfolds at one side of the room to make a complete entertaining space.

Bespoke wooden cabinets fill in a niche with useful storage space, which allows the minimalist room to remain perfectly clear.

The rectangle dining table is positioned to benefit from natural light at the tall window.

Glass modern fruit bowls reflect the daylight.

Wooden base units unite the one wall kitchen with the dining area, creating one cohesive and warm aesthetic.

In Minsk, Belarus, our second featured home displays more of a brutalist vibe.

White concrete floods the floors and builds the walls of this space. Highly modern furniture stands in block-like silhouettes, as though carved from concrete too.

The modern sofa forms a two-sided arrangement. It’s monolithic base juts out from beneath the cushions to form a wide side table.

An extraordinary sculptural dining room chandelier commands the open plan room, hanging a seemingly impossibly large form in the centre of the kitchen.

With one side of the sofa facing toward the kitchen diner, its reverse side faces toward a bedroom that is revealed from behind a portiere.

In the minimalist bedroom, a spherical tension pole lamp complements the dining room’s unique chandelier.

Visualizer: Mohamed Mousa

The Cumulus apartment is a 160 square metre home in Mivida, Cairo, Egypt. Brown accent colours and distinctive silhouettes give this space mid-century vibes. A curved back sofa is joined by curvaceous chairs, a round coffee table and wall art with a circular motif.

The dark looped legs of the round coffee table stand prominently against a pale area rug.

The floor melds lightly into the walls of the room, which are topped with classic crown molding.

Flos 2097 30 LED dining room chandelier dominates a dark dining setup in the open plan.

The round pedestal dining table forms a black pool under the dramatic chandelier, encircled by matt black dining chairs.

Colour is unwelcome in the galley kitchen, where simple handle-free cabinets line up in clean quietude.

Caramel bedcovers enrich a light grey and white decor scheme. Wood bedside tables and tonal artwork extend the brown accent.

A winged bedstead has great presence in the second double bedroom, framed by dark drawer units and black bedside table lamps.

Vertical tiles add interest to a white wetroom. An eye-catching black showerhead empties over a freestanding bathtub.

Visualizer: Eugene Shkilnyuk

Our final tour takes place in a modern minimalist home that’s decorated with the softest whisper of grey on white. The modern sofa bridges the tonal gap between white wall decor and a smokey area rug.

A grey throw and matching scatter cushions cosy up the sofa’s linear silhouette.

Light furniture and bare walls create an ethereal living room dining room combo.

A frameless interior door disappears in the plain white TV wall.

Smooth grey laminate flooring creates a tranquil base for the scheme.

A tray table is integrated into the sofa design, putting it right between the cushions and keeping the floor space clear.

Behind the lounge, an oversized dining room pendant light crowns a large dining island.

Minimalist kitchen cabinets set out a clean white arrangement at the back of the room, separated from the home entryway by a shallow room divide.

A floating entryway shelf extends across a custom cut mirror on one side, and the end of the marble clad kitchen island on the other to create seamless flow.
