A Bright White Color Palette Covers this Chic Living Space

With its bright white walls and accents, this modern living room is a vibrant space offering a myriad of modern elements, including the unique pendant light, framed wall art, and comfortable contemporary furniture.

Gorgeous tall windows flood this living space with natural light, and the thick shag rug featuring a modern design gives it an added sense of warmth. The gallery wall above the sofa features an assortment of unusual works of art, all neatly framed in wood.

The comfy couch is also featured in a bright white color, but assorted throw pillows in soft colors of pink and brown add a playful pop of color. The uniquely modern coffee table features a sturdy marble top, large wooden legs, and a fun oval shape.

White Continues in the Light and Airy Kitchen

The bright white theme carries into the eat-in kitchen, where the walls, cabinets, and trim are also painted white. A tall window adds more natural light to the space, while a soft beige curtain gives it shade and privacy as needed. The tall white cabinet features ample storage, and upper glass doors allow for the display of dishware and other objects.

Sleek silver hardware on the cabinetry gives this classic kitchen a slight modern touch along with the darker countertops and the white square ceramic tile backsplash. The simple design gives it a clean aesthetic without sacrificing functionality.

Dark Wallpaper Creates a Cozy Cave

While the flooring, wall color, and accents in this home are mostly bright white, large French doors with mottled glass panes lead you into the cozy bedroom featuring dark floral wallpaper.

A botanical theme on the walls makes this bedroom a calming, warm space for sleep and relaxation. The comfortable bed is nestled just in front of a tall window with sheer curtains. A row of wooden wall hooks provides a convenient place to hang bags, towels, and pajamas.

12 contemporary kitchen ideas with curved kitchen cabinets

post

Curved shapes bring modern appeal to virtually any room. From furniture to artwork, this iconic design brings a bold trend to your interior. When it comes to the kitchen, a curvy silhouette adds contemporary elegance to the home’s busiest and most often used space.

Suppose you’re thinking of making changes to your kitchen. In that case, these inspiring curved kitchen island layouts and cabinet ideas are here to give you some new and exciting inspiration for your big renovation.

A Curved Island Creates an Elegant Space

In this kitchen, the curved island opposite the tall, white cabinets adds an elegant vibe to the space. Note the two-toned design of the island with a light tan wood base and marbled gray and white stone top, giving it a luxe aesthetic appeal.

Rather than adding boxy-looking cabinets to the island, the curvaceous silhouette gives the entire space a much more appealing aura.

Bring in New Colors

Not only is this curved cabinetry beautiful in terms of shape, but the bold, orange terra cotta-inspired colors give the kitchen a playful pop. The island with rounded edges is featured in a darker brown color, creating a fun, whimsical vibe in this open and airy modern cooking space.

Incorporating curves into galley kitchens helps to make the space flow in a fresh, new way without feeling overcrowded.

Add in Natural Elements

This curved kitchen layout features classic white cabinets and a dark brown semi-circular island for a fun component.

The wooden herringbone floors bring in a sense of natural warmth, creating an earthy contrast against the rest of the white in this distinctively modern kitchen. Modern metal handle hardware on the built-in appliances also gives the kitchen design an extra dose of contemporary flair.

Choose a Curved Feature Cabinet

This unique kitchen boasts lively orange colors and one shorter end cabinet featuring rounded edges. The absence of sharp corners at the end of the cabinets adds a playful, whimsical touch to this space.

Note the large windows flood in natural light, and the white walls and floors let the cabinets become the star of the show. A simple granite countertop also gives the overall kitchen design a luxe finishing touch.

Incorporate Curved Design Into a Classic Kitchen

The oversized herringbone wood floors and ivory paint colors give this warm, inviting kitchen a classic look. However, built-in appliances and curvy lower cabinets bring in a splash of modern style. This design proves you can enjoy the curved trend without giving up a more traditional look overall.

Keep Things Simple

You don’t need to go overboard with curved cabinets, like in this example. Light blue colors and a classic square ceramic tile backsplash bring the space a traditional feel.

Still, the subtly softer edges of the lower cabinets bring visual interest to the kitchen design. An abundance of drawers also provides plenty of storage capacity for cookware and more.

Kitchen Cabinets as Art

The curved cabinets against the wall, as seen here, serve as a unique focal point in this ultra-modern kitchen. No upper cabinets give the space a much larger overall look as you enter the room directly from the living area.

Elements like black contemporary light fixtures also bring it bold sophistication.

Use Metallics for a Sleek, Modern Look

Instead of using more traditional cabinet materials like wood, this curved kitchen island is crafted of sleek stainless steel. A funky, multicolored glass pendant light hangs over the center bar.

Large open shelving on the opposite side of the room provides a perfect spot for small appliances and home decor. No matter this kitchen’s dimensions, incorporating a large kitchen island that also serves as a bar and cooking area maximizes the square footage in the best possible way.

Create a Cohesive Kitchen Design with Curved Cabinets

Although there are various kitchen styles to choose from, this one in particular has a unique element. The built-in wall cubbies match the wood of the lower cabinets, and the countertop coordinates with the upper cabinetry in a bright white hue.

Using built-ins is a smart choice for open concept spaces because it helps make the kitchen feel as large and unobstructed as possible.

Use a Simple Curved Cabinet For Storage

This chic, modern kitchen features a tall white cabinet and a much shorter, low-profile one with a curved edge. Adding that subtle curve lends the room a fresh, contemporary vibe. The large black and white modern framed wall art above it contributes to the artsy aesthetic.

Have Fun with Curvy Cutouts

This white, bright kitchen boasts a unique curved end cabinet with shelving, making it an ideal spot for home decor, small appliances, dishware, and more. Instead of a curved kitchen island that most might expect, the homeowner chose to make these end cabinets the star.

Use Curves to Make a Statement

The stairstep-style cabinets lead you to the door that takes you outside, creating a unique focal point in this sleek, modern kitchen. Lower placed end cabinets and drawers with a curvy design make it a perfect entryway in and out of the space.

No upper cabinetry and simple artwork proves that less is sometimes more.

A white buffet cabinet against the wall next to the sofa is an ideal place for storage of books and other items. Here, the owner chose to place a small lamp on top for more lighting. The modern abstract wall art above the cabinet adds a touch of personal flair, and the light, neutral wall color makes the living room/dining room/kitchen combo look and feel larger.

Note how the kitchen can be separated or closed off by a curtain.

Directly next to the bed is a built-in bookcase that gives this small apartment even more storage. A small brass wall sconce above the bed adds another light so the owner can easily read a good book before dozing off.

19 vertical subway tile bathroom ideas to add height to a small space

post

With a classic rectangular shape, subway tile is a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. While traditionally installed horizontally, this tile also looks stunning when positioned vertically as well.

When subway tile is added vertically, it can create the illusion of a larger space. If you’re looking for inspiration for a small bathroom, here are the most inspiring vertical subway tile bathroom ideas designed to add height to your space.

Use White Vertical Tile From Floor to Ceiling

Installing white subway tile from the floor to the ceiling gives this bathroom a sleek, distinctive look. By installing vertical stacked tile throughout the space, the bathroom looks larger and feels like it has higher ceilings, even if the ceilings are standard or low height.

A window brings in natural light, adding a feeling of openness and airiness to the bathroom. Larger standard tiles on the bathroom floor “ground” the space, and the large round mirror above the floating vanity adds functionality and modern style.

Get Creative with Color

A warm, green subway tile covers the shower walls in this cozy modern bathroom. Black tile on the ceiling and white tile on the shower floors add a bold contrast and give the space a uniquely modern look.

However, the green subway tile makes this bathroom stand out and gives it visual interest. The small nook next to the shower also features contrasting black tile, while potted plants lend it a touch of earthy, natural appeal.

Keep it Classic with Black and White Tile

Classic white subway tiles adorn the upper half of the bathroom walls around the tub and shower in a vertical stack pattern, while larger black tiles below add a fun, two-toned element. This bathroom is a prime example of classic subway tile, but the black grout adds a slightly fun, modern touch to the space.

The bold black marble tile not only surrounds the wall of the tub, but it’s also carried through to the exterior and onto the floors, adding a dramatic touch to what might be an otherwise all white bathroom.

Add Playful Pops with Cheery Colored Tile

This whimsical bathroom space boasts a peachy salmon colored subway tile that goes from the floor to the ceiling and into the shower. The black shower trim, showerhead, and cabinets bring in a dark contrast that helps the colorful tile stand out for an eye-catching look.

Another fun feature in this bathroom is the black and white Victorian floor tile, while a black and white toilet finishes the space to bring everything together in seamless fashion.

Make Things Moody with Dark Colored Subway Tile and Bold Features

If you want to create a mood, choose subway tile in a deep, dark hue like the subway tile shower in this bathroom. Brushed brass lighting, hardware, and fixtures stand apart against the darker colors and give the space a uniquely bold component.

Solid stone patterned tiles on the shower floor give this bathroom a sense of high-end luxury. All of the cabinetry is painted to match the tile color perfectly, while the solid stone countertop coordinates with the floor.

Mix and Match Tiles in Different Styles

While this bathroom features a vertical layout for the gorgeous gray stone subway shower tile, pebble-style tiles adorn the shower walls and floor. Black metal surrounds the clear glass shower enclosure and is also found on the faucets and hardware.

A black framed oval wall mirror above the vanity and two pendant lights add a touch of brightness to the space. Combining two different styles of tile gives this bathroom added texture and helps to create a unique design.

Make the Bathroom Modern with Updated Details

Classic white subway tile easily gives any bathroom a classic look, but this example uses darker gray hues and larger-sized tile for a fresh update. The sleek gray subway tile on the shower and walls creates a modern edge that gives the room a sense of style and sophistication.

Black trim across the wall draws attention to the white pedestal sink and black mirrored medicine cabinet. Elements of stainless steel help to break up the space.

Use Grout Lines to Create a Pattern

This fresh, cheerful bathroom features vertical subway tile on the walls, while visible grout lines add a playful visual pattern. A different design is featured on the adjacent wall, and tiny square floor tiles add another element of interest that creates a unique offset pattern.

The large frameless mirror above the floating white ceramic sink makes the space feel larger, and touches of warm wood and natural elements keep it from feeling too cold.

Add Instant Interest with Textured Subway Tile

Rather than installing classic ceramic or marble subway tiles, the homeowner opted for something a bit bolder. This vertical tile has a unique texture that creates an almost crinkled, wallpaper-like appearance.

Combined with a large round mirror and a beautiful vanity and sink, this bathroom design makes the wall the focal point and main attraction. Black wall hooks and a black metal shelf nestled against the wall add a pop of contrasting color and lots of functionality to the space.

Use Vertical Subway Tile to Create a Calming Oasis

Although this bathroom is small, the large white subway tile with dark grout gives it a spa-like, seamless appearance. The black ceiling and black fixtures in the shower help to create a calming sense that this space is a truly relaxing retreat.

The use of straight lines in a vertical pattern like this, along with the straight lines of the rectangular mirror and vanity, all work together for a seamless look and a comforting, cohesive effect.

Add Neutral Hues for a Soothing Color Scheme

In this bathroom, soft, clay-colored subway tile on the walls contributes to the overall neutral color scheme for a warm, timeless look. Using neutral colors like this helps to create a blank canvas that can easily be punctuated with artwork and other items.

A unique soaker tub with a wooden surround and large floor tiles all feature similar tones, yet they vary enough to give the bathroom a subtly different look throughout. This bathroom design proves that you don’t always need bold, dark, or vibrant colors to make a statement.

Elevate the Bathroom with Original Subway Tile Designs

In this bathroom, original subway tiles give it a timeless aesthetic, but the combination of both vertical and horizontal tile layouts adds a uniquely whimsical effect. The crisp white tile is offset by the dark grout that makes it easy to distinguish the tiles’ varying shapes and patterns.

Note how the horizontal tile is the main attraction, but the vertical pattern is featured on the tub-side wall, helping to create a stark distinction between the two different areas within the bathroom.

Install Large Tile for a Sense of Drama

Large, elongated black subway tile in a vertical pattern makes this bathroom a true standout. The sleek black tile covers the walls, while the wood floors and angled wooden ceiling bring in a more rustic, natural touch.

A unique metal soaker tub adds to the unusual components in this small bathroom. Choosing to install the tile from the floor to the ceiling helps draw the eye upward, giving the illusion of a larger space. The white floating vanity and medicine cabinet bring it a pop of brightness to break up the room.

via Vipp

Combine Subway Tile Patterns

While this bathroom is completely covered in white subway tile, the different patterns give it a touch of distinction. Note how the walls have a vertical stacked layout, but the floors use the same tile in a herringbone pattern.

Mixing and matching the same tile in a different pattern is a smart, budget-friendly way to get a dramatic effect without breaking the bank. Stainless steel fixtures, a small wood stool, and a live potted plant are added to give this bathroom a few more elements that warm things up.

Have Fun with Different Colors

This small bathroom proves that you don’t have to use tile and other design elements all in the same color. The luscious green subway tile adds a fresh, earthy component to the room, and a wood floating vanity topped with white round sinks gives it a fun modern touch.

The oval-shaped mirror, black faucets, and a pair of wall sconces look fun while adding functionality. Large square stone floor tiles in a neutral beige help to create a grounded effect.

Stay Focused on Materials

Installing vertical subway tile is an easy way to make a small bathroom look and feel larger. However, the type of tile you choose also plays a role in the overall design.

Here, the bathroom features gray and white marble subway tile that adds a sense of luxury. A different type of subway tile on the ceiling gives another touch of uniqueness to this modern bathroom.

Put Subway Tile in the Spotlight

Small white vertical subway tile covers practically every surface in this bathroom. Although the floor tile features a different shape, material, and color, it’s clear that the white subway tile is the star of the show. Using simple stainless steel fixtures and avoiding too many additional colors helps the subway tile truly shine.

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Bold

Sleek, shiny dark green subway tile with white grout adds a bold pattern in modern, straight lines to this bathroom. Classic black-and-white checkerboard floor tile brings a playful, whimsical touch.

Copper fixtures throughout the space shine against the stark black tile and give this contemporary bathroom a fun component.

This stylish design features glossy vertical subway tiles in a taupe color that draw the eye upward, adding height and dimension. A floating vanity with a marble countertop, accompanied by a large round mirror and built-in lighting, enhances the room’s modern aesthetic.

A walnut kitchen paired with a pastel color palette in a historic flat

post

This light-filled historic flat (for sale via Susanne Persson) features a warm walnut kitchen paired with a pastel color palette for a charming, whimsical space.

Dental crown molding pairs beautifully with the light blue wall color of this bright and airy kitchen. The walnut wood cabinets add warmth, and large windows flood the space with natural light. Natural wood floors also add to the eclectic feel, and modern wall sconces replace the upper cabinets to make the space feel even larger.

A rectangular dining table, paired with wood and woven chairs, creates a dining space in the kitchen that accommodates an entire family or a large group of guests. The table overlooks the pair of windows, which lead to an iconic view of neighboring homes. The simplicity of this kitchen lends it a soothing and inviting vibe.

Directly next to the walnut cabinets and built-in oven is a door that leads to a charming foyer. The lower walnut cabinets, positioned against the main wall, are attached to the larger, taller cabinets on the opposite side of the kitchen, creating a sense of fluidity.

The pastel theme continues into the main living area, as tones of powder pink create a candy-coated, dreamy effect. A large work of modern art in a similar color palette brings everything together without feeling forced.

Equally charming is the black and white polka-dotted couch and crystal pendant light in the living space. A modern leather swivel chair, glass coffee table, and potted tree in the corner add a fun combination of textures and styles, as do the throw pillows featured in a combination of polka dots and stripes.

The bedroom brings the powder blue hue back into focus as it covers the walls, ceiling, and roomy wood built-ins that go from the ceiling to the floor and surround the cozy bed. A pair of glass doors leads back to the living space and can be closed for privacy and quiet. Wood slats attached to the wall serve as a unique headboard.

Designed in a minimalist style, this bedroom is nothing less than calming, creating a peaceful oasis that’s perfect for sleeping. A square cubby cut into the built-ins beside the bed can easily serve as a nightstand or a place for books.

The foyer features a light, minty green color and has plenty of hooks for coats and bags, a small bench for seating, and a convenient umbrella holder for rainy days. The shell pendant light gives this simple space a touch of charm.

This modern tone-on-tone grey apartment (Styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Henrik Linden for Alvhem) features a large window between the bedroom and hallway with a myriad of textures for an inviting vibe.

This apartment’s open floor plan features an eat-in kitchen, dining area, and living area. The light gray cabinets match the walls, giving the space a monotone yet modern aesthetic.

A large window floods this space with natural light, and sheer ceiling-to-floor curtains add privacy. A boucle-upholstered accent chair and jute area rug add texture.

Mixing dark, medium, and light wood-toned tables and chairs gives this cozy corner of the apartment a unique touch. The oversized wall art echoes the gray tones of the walls, while the black frame helps it stand out and matches the black flush-mount ceiling fixtures.

A simple kitchen with gray cabinetry and a modern hood fan creates a compact, yet open space to cook meals. Across from the kitchen is a couch and coffee table, offering a space to sit down and relax after eating.

Ultra-light grey wood floors carry the grey theme throughout this apartment, and a bedroom with glass French doors gives privacy and separation without feeling closed in.

Curved gray walls and an indoor window between the kitchen and bedroom

The curved wall next to the bedroom adds character to the apartment and provides a comfortable, cozy nook perfect for reading a book or placing everyday items like shoes, jackets, and purses.

Thanks to the large window, the entire apartment is filled with natural light during the daytime. Fresh white flowers nestled in a vase breathe life into this otherwise modern space.

Wall panels with open shelving above the bed near the ceiling bring storage and character to the quaint bedroom. A simple side table, lamp, and plant life give the bedroom a cozy, calming vibe.

Rather than hanging wall art everywhere, only distinguished pieces are hung strategically in the home, including this framed still life of a woman featured in the bedroom.

The hallway leads to a convenient foyer with plenty of hooks for hats, coats, umbrellas, and bags. A comfortable upholstered bench provides a place to sit down and take your shoes off or put them on before heading out.

In contrast to the rest of the space, the bathroom features an all-white design with large white subway tile installed from the floor to the ceiling. The floor tile is slightly darker and boasts a subtle beige tone, while the glass shower enclosure helps to make the bathroom look and feel larger.
