White plank floors and white walls in a small studio apartment

post

This all-white studio apartment features white plank floors, white walls, and white furniture for a crisp and bright-looking interior design that makes this small space look more spacious. All the white surfaces in this studio apartment reflect the daylight coming in, which is an especially effective way of brightening up interiors that don’t get a lot of daylight.

A crisp white living space with lots of textiles for a soft yet bright look

Other than the white walls, white ceilings, and white plank floors, this living space is characterized by a beautiful combination of a lot of textiles that add a lot of texture and coziness to the interior design.

The white curtains on each side of the rather small window form the perfect backdrop for the white Ikea Soderhamn sofa with a custom Bemz cover* and the large white area rug. This all-white setting has been complemented with a black coffee table, black floor lamp, and a beautiful mixture of darker green and beige tones in the throw pillows.

The living space features a built-in closet space, which has been enhanced with a peg rail next to it for hanging clothes. The curved standing mirror is perfect in this wardrobe section, yet it also reflects the room to make it appear bigger.

A bedroom section in the living space

The bedroom section of the living space features a mixture of white, dark grey, and orange tones in the bedding and beige tones in the art print on the wall.

The area rug in the sofa area is placed so it ends right where the bedroom section starts, to visually separate the functional areas from each other.

The black shelf behind the bed contrasts nicely with the white plank floor and visually separates the bed when entering the space from the doorway.

A bright white kitchen with wood tones and black accents in the dining area

The kitchen shares the same bright white color palette as the living space, featured by white walls and white plank floors. Even though the kitchen itself is a bit outdated, the dining area and the small accessories make the design work.

The beautiful vintage round dining table in front of the window is paired up with a black pendant light and a long peg rail for a cozy and characterful setting.

The white plank floors in the hallway are covered with a natural rug that adds a lot of warmth to the space. The height of the hallway has been used for extra storage opportunity above the entrance door and the other wall has been filled with a beautiful gallery wall in neutral tones to spruce up this white hallway.

A beige color palette in a turn-of-the-century home

post

This beautiful turn-of-the-century Swedish home features a mainly beige color palette combined with warm wood tones for an elegant interior design that complements so nicely with the historic architectural features in the building.

The different rooms in this spacious apartment have been painted in tones of beige, combined with nude pink and blue in the guest bedroom and kids’ room. The beige color palette is continued in the kitchen cabinets and the custom built-ins, and even the guest bathroom has beautiful pops of beige.

The kitchen combines minimal beige kitchen cabinets with beige limestone on the waterfall kitchen island, countertops, and backsplash. The subtle beige wall color matches perfectly with the color of the cabinets and the chrome hardware adds a modern appearance to the space.

The asymmetrical floor plan of the kitchen allows for the module of the appliances to be used from both sides and I love the way open shelving is integrated on the side of the closed cabinets.

The modern and minimal appearance of the kitchen is contrasted by a vintage dining table and a Mona Lisa reproduction on the wall in between the windows. The Ay Illuminate fabric pendant light is the perfect choice above the dining table.

Warm beige living room walls and a custom solution for the TV

The warm beige living room walls bring out the white crown molding and the white floorboards in a perfect way. The combination of the two off-white fabric sofas with the white fluffy area rug lightens up the beige color palette and the beige marble coffee table fits this look perfectly.

The Spanish lounge chair functions as a classic eye-catcher in front of the angled living room wall featuring a large rounded mirror that reflects the space and the daylight coming into these large windows.

The TV is placed on a custom bookshelf featuring closed storage space on the bottom. The impressive wall shelf fills almost the entire wall and by painting it in the same beige paint color as the walls, it blends in with the interior of the living room perfectly.

A subtle beige color palette in the master bedroom

The master bedroom has been painted in a subtle beige wall color that makes the white wardrobe and the white textiles on both the bed and in front of the windows stand out. A large off-white area rug underneath the bed partially covers the dark hardwood flooring for a brighter effect in the room that softens the beige color palette.

Nude pink walls in the guest bedroom

The guest room has been painted in a subtle pink wall color, which gives it a very elegant touch enhanced by the mixture of beiges and pinks in the accessories.

The String shelf on the wall functions as a workspace as well and integrates smoothly with the curved walls in this space.

The third bedroom has been painted in a subtle grey-blue wall color that makes the white furniture pieces stand out. Rather than working with neutral tones, a few black and dark grey elements finish off this room nicely for a contrasting effect.

A modern villa design with a private pool

post

Renowned design and architecture agency Norm Architects just finished this beautiful modern villa design with a private pool just north of Barcelona. The private family home features minimalistic lines and natural materials for an honest design language with an airy expression that blurs the lines between the interior design and the outdoor area.

Norm Architects take on a Spanish villa design shares a resemblance with their use of oak and concrete in this Japandi-style family home, yet in a more minimal and stripped-down fashion,.

A wall of windows combined with a private pool

The large windows on the clean white lines of the facade of the modern villa design look out onto a private pool that shapes the minimal design language of the outdoor area. The windows can all be opened, to merge the interior with the outdoor area, which is a great feature in the Spanish climate.

An elegant oak and concrete kitchen that matches the modern villa design

The minimal kitchen design contains Norm Architects’ own Profile design for Reform in oak with brass accents in the integrated handles and a modern concrete countertop.

The oak wood comes back in the large dining table and chairs for a cohesive look that adds warmth to the white walls and concrete surfaces of this modern villa design.

The dining table is placed right next to the module containing the fireplace, which can be adorned from both sides of the wall.

On the other side of the fireplace module, you can find a modern living room decorated in a neutral color palette with a round oak coffee table to finish the look off.

The structured white area rug and the sheer white curtains add a certain elegance to the architecture, without compromising its powerful minimalistic lines and material features.

While one side of the modern villa design looks out on the private pool, from the windows in the living room and kitchen, you have a great view over the village.

Light grey kitchen cabinets and a sage green bedroom in an eclectic Scandinavian home

post

This beautiful Swedish apartment has a mix of eclectic influences, combined with Scandinavian touches and a shaker kitchen with light grey kitchen cabinets that takes front and center in the interior design of the space.

The bedroom has rounded walls, which are painted in a beautiful sage green wall color, and an improvised hallway section is finished off with a statement wallpaper that finishes off the look of this gorgeous place.

Light grey kitchen cabinets with white subway tiles and wood hardware

The shaker kitchen lies in between the bedroom and the living room and takes a central position in the layout of the apartment. The shaker design of the light grey kitchen cabinets fits the historic character and architectural details of the apartment very well and complements the white walls and the soap-washed hardwood flooring perfectly.

The original crown molding on the ceiling has been extended on top of the upper cabinets of the floor-to-ceiling kitchen to make the layout integrate perfectly with its environment.

The light grey kitchen cabinets are finished off with wood hardware and black appliances, while the white subway tile backsplash finishes this classic look off nicely. The black and white art print above the kitchen backsplash adds character and the brass peg rail is an elegant finishing touch to the look.

A minimal farmhouse-style dining area with a vintage table

The area by the kitchen window has been used for a beautiful dining area that consists of a vintage dining table combined with a variation of bentwood chairs in different wood tones for a characterful look.

The vintage ladder in combination with the Frida Kahlo art print adds a personal touch and the Golden Pothos plant is guided around the window for an interesting visual element in the space.

The wall by the dining table is decorated with two botanical art prints and a warm wood open shelf above it to finish off this beautiful farmhouse-style dining room look.

An eclectic mix of objects in a living room with light grey walls

The light grey walls of the living room complement the light grey kitchen cabinets in the adjacent kitchen. The grey complements the subtle warm tones in the flooring and accentuates the crown molding and the white window frames in this well-lit space.

The combination of the round wood coffee tables with the bookshelf in between the windows ad the vintage cabinet against the wall works wonderfully with the simple grey sofa and the faded oriental area rug in the room.

The cozy reading corner wedged in between the hallway and the vintage cabinet is made to look very cozy with the art prints on the wall and the vintage floor lamp. The magazine holder on the wall combined with the small wall shelf complements this small section of the living room perfectly.

A sage green bedroom with curved walls

The rounded walls of the bedroom make this space a one-of-a-kind interior to start with. The bedroom walls are painted in a sage green wall color which makes it round shape and the white crown molding stand out in an obvious way.

I love the way a custom headboard behind the bed offers a spot for a bedside lamp, plants, and some small deco objects.

The headboard has been painted in the same sage green color as the walls, which integrates this module perfectly in the space. The sockets have been moved onto the headboard as well, which is a nice touch.

The entrance of the bedroom has been used for a custom wardrobe module, and just like in the case of the light grey kitchen cabinets, the crown molding has been applied on top of the wardrobe modules for a seamless appearance. The vintage mirror on the wall adds a classic element to the bedroom decor.

A functional hallway section with an eye-catching wallpaper

Since you enter the apartment straight into the living room, an additional wall was constructed to create a separate hallway section. On the other side, this section has been visually separated by placing a custom wardrobe similar to the one in the bedroom.

To visually separate the hallway and living room, a statement wallpaper was applied to the hallway walls, turning it into a characterful section of the apartment.

A small white apartment with subtle pink details

post

This small one-bedroom white apartment has a separate kitchen, yet the living room and the bedroom are combined into one room. The walls of the interior have all been painted white, combined with white furniture and white soft furnishings, and finished off with a subtle touch of pink details here and there.

These pink details tie the kitchen together with the living space, and they also add a certain warmth to the interior design.

The living room also has a bed in the same space, yet these two functionalities are combined in a nice way, without making the space feel too cramped.

In the sofa area, the white apartment walls have been complemented with a white sofa, white area rug, white curtains, and even a subtle white artwork on the wall for a very bright appearance that makes this small white apartment look more spacious. A white palette is ideal for small interiors or studio apartments, as it makes the floor plan appear more spacious.

The round wood coffee table, terracotta vase on the window sill, and the subtle pink and brown tones in the textiles really jump out against this white backdrop and add a lovely mix of tones and textures to the palette.

The bed has been placed on the opposite wall, away from the sofa area next to the doorway to the hallway. By adding art prints on both walls next to the bed, this area is visually separated from the rest of the space and the open shelving for the TV by the sofa is continued exactly until the end of the bed which makes the layout work in a nice way.

On the other side of the doorway, an Ikea Pax wardrobe fills the wall, allowing for ample storage space in this small white apartment.

A kitchen dining area with white walls and pink curtains

This kitchen also has white walls, just like the rest of this apartment, yet the windows are finished off with beautiful pink curtains that warm up the daylight coming in. The round white dining table combined with the oak dining chairs is placed on top of an off-white area rug that brightens up the whole space.

The combination of the oak wood peg rail and the small gallery wall above it finish this cozy dining room setting off nicely and I love the way the wood tones complement the white walls and pink details.

A small yet functional hallway

The hallway is small, yet used optimally to store away the essentials. A peg rail combined with open shelving makes use of the vertical space available, while the light wood bench finishes off the hallway look perfectly.

Black and white kitchen and a dark blue bedroom wall

post

This beautiful Swedish apartment features a black and white kitchen that has been built in the same space as the living room for an open plan layout that makes smart use of the kitchen island to separate the functional areas.

The mainly white look of the living kitchen is enhanced with subtle black accents and natural wood tones in the furniture. The bedroom on the other hand has a deep dark blue wall that sets this space apart from the rest of the apartment.

A minimal dining and living room with white walls

The living room has a minimal appearance with white walls and white built-ins combined with white-soaped hardwood flooring for a light look. The round white dining table combined with the warm wood wishbone chairs and the bar stools in the same color gives this white space a little bit of warmth.

The custom-built TV cabinet goes over into the white marble kitchen island and breakfast bar. Making both surfaces flow into each other, has a very integrated effect on the room.

The XL wall mirror adds extra dimension to the dining area and it reflects the daylight coming in through the balcony window.

On the other side of the living room, a custom desk is hidden behind a curtain. The desk area consists of floating shelving and a floating surface for the desk itself, which is an elegant solution for this area next to the sofa.

A black and white kitchen with marble countertops

The minimal kitchen with white kitchen cabinets is combined with black hardware and a chrome faucet for a contrasting look. The kitchen is built on a rather small surface, so a combination of both upper and lower cabinets is used to ensure ample storage space.

One large ceiling-high kitchen cupboard is used by the window, which includes the appliances all on top of each other. Additionally, more storage space is provided on the backside of the kitchen island.

In the corner by the window an additional small dining table is placed which can be used for having coffee in the morning.

Dark blue walls in the bedroom

The bedroom has a deep blue wall color combined with black curtains that give the space a little bit of a moody effect. The black and white kitchen cabinets are brought back into the custom-built bedroom wardrobe, which is spread over the length of the entire bedroom wall.

The black Vertigo lamp fits perfectly underneath these high ceilings and adds another contrasting touch of black to the space.

The white historic fireplace and the white armchair really stand out against the dark blue wall color. The white trim underneath the ceiling is a nice touch and it makes the ceilings seem higher.

Sage green walls and white marble in the bathroom

The bathroom combines a rich color and material palette with a dark sage green wall color as the base for this look. The shower and bathroom floor have been finished with white marble tiles and the brass wall lamps and bathroom fixtures add an elegant touch to the space.

Casa Vipp Andorra: a small guesthouse for the design-conscious

post

With the introduction of a small Andorra guesthouse, Danish design brand Vipp has expanded its list of high-end hotel concepts for the design-conscious. Like the Chimney House, Pencil Case, and the Vipp shelter, this hotel concept carries a unique identity combined with a carefully curated aesthetic including the V1 kitchen and the Vipp furniture collection.

The lodge-style setting is a collaboration between Vipp and the design consultancy Bau Studio. The characteristic features of this small 1950s building are contrasted by the serene Scandinavian design aesthetic brought forth by the Vipp collection.

The ground floor of this two-story duplex features an open kitchen with a dining and living room including a fireplace. The rich and warm color palette of the living room matches perfectly with the V1 kitchen in black metal combined with white porcelain tiles on the wall.

When going up the custom metal staircase, you arrive in the bedroom combined with a large bathroom. The simple bedroom design is placed underneath the original wood beams of the building and through those porthole windows, you can catch a glimpse of the Pyrenees.

At the top of the staircase, you can find a small home office space, from which you can look down onto the living room and kitchen.

The freestanding tub and open shower add a modern yet classic look and feel to the cement-covered bathroom space and the contrast between the white tub and the white bathroom module against the black tiles is very powerful.

The cement shower includes a built-in bench inside a niche where towels and bathroom products can be stored within reach. The black fixtures stand out powerfully against the concrete shower wall treatment.

While the rest of the bathroom has a modern appearance, the white freestanding tub adds a bit of classic touch to the setting with black tiles in the wall. The white tub is complemented by a white wall-mounted faucet to finish off the look.

White shaker kitchen cabinets and white walls in an elegant turn-of-the-century home

post

The design of this beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by @vasakvadrat, sold via Sjรถman Frisk) revolves around the beautiful white shaker kitchen cabinets that provide the apartment with a minimal touch that fits so wonderfully well with the ornate historic detailing in the architecture of the place.

The beautiful custom carpentry of the kitchen cabinets comes back in the design of the wardrobes in the bedrooms as well, one of which even includes a built-in desk in such an elegant way.

The overall design of the interior is elegant yet minimal, to not distract from the beautiful features of the apartment itself.

The large marble dining table in front of the window is a true-eye catcher in the space, paired up with classic CH24 wishbone chairs to finish off the look. The voluminous beige curtains warm up the daylight coming through those tall windows and they match the warm look of the herringbone hardwood flooring.

The heaters are covered with custom covers that match the style of the architectural features and the Ferm Living Pond mirror reflects the daylight coming from the windows throughout the space.

The white kitchen design features elegant shaker cabinets on the top and bottom. The tall upper cabinets don’t go all the way up to the ceiling, however, to make sure the crown molding is still visible.

The white shaker kitchen cabinets are paired up with a white marble countertop, brass hardware, and a brass faucet for a clean and elegant look that is coherent with the rest of the interior. The marble countertops are continued in a low marble backsplash for a minimal appearance.

While the living room and kitchen have white walls, the master bedroom has been painted in a soft beige wall color highlighting the beautiful crown molding in such a nice way.

The wall color has been continued on the custom-built wardrobes in the room for a tone-on-tone look and the rattan sideboard and bench add some warm tones to the otherwise beige look.

A wood panel room divider and a solid wood kitchen

post

A wood panel room divider is a great way to create different functional areas in small homes or studio apartments. When the wood panels are spaced out from each other, the daylight can flow from one room into the other, while also giving the interior a modern look and feel.

A solid wood kitchen with white granite countertops

The solid wood kitchen cabinets in this living space match perfectly with the wood panel room divider and add such a warm touch to the interior. The layout of the kitchen consists of upper and lower cabinets combined with a kitchen island in the middle of the space that offers a spot to sit and at the same time visually separates the kitchen from the sofa area.

The minimal wood cabinets with integrated handles are complemented by granite countertops and a chrome faucet that adds a bit of a modern touch to the kitchen design.

Wood tones and a warm color palette in the sofa area

The wood tones of the kitchen cabinets and the warm herringbone flooring add a lot of warmth to the living kitchen, which has been accentuated by the choice of furniture and soft furnishings in the sofa area. The white sofa and chequered area rug combined with the light beige walls give the interior a light impression, which has been contrasted by the black Bertoia diamond lounge chair.

The wood tones of the kitchen come back in the bookshelf and the coffee table and the heaters are covered with a custom rattan element that matches the warm palette of the interior. To finish things off, the brown wall rug adds a lot of character to the space.

While you can also achieve a similar result with a glass partition wall to separate functional areas, the bedroom in this beautiful apartment uses a custom-built solution made out of wood panels to visually distinguish the different spaces from each other. The wood panels are combined with a curtain behind it to provide extra privacy, but when you leave the curtains open, daylight can flow from one space into the other.

The bedroom itself has a subtle greige wall color combined with crisp bedding and eye-catching blue pendant lights on each side of the bed, which really stand out against the wall color and the subtle wood tones of the bedroom.

The same cabinet fronts as the ones used in the kitchen are also brought back into the hallway, where ceiling-high cupboards provide a lot of storage opportunities. The combination of the warm wood of the cabinets with the simple opal shade lamp and the statement mirror gives this small space a minimal and sophisticated look.

The light wood floor and the ornate moldings on the ceiling, door frames, and windows stay true to the history of the building, while the light grey wall color adds an elegant touch to the space.

To match the color of the walls, the shaker cabinets in the kitchen have been picked out in the same light grey color for a modest look that is minimal yet elegant at the same time.

Light wood tones in the dining area in front of the windows

The spacious living space contains both a dining and a lounge area. The spot between the two large windows has been reserved for a large dining table combined with light oak CH24 wishbone chairs that match perfectly with the color of the hardwood floor.

The arched mirror on the wall in between the two windows works wonderfully in this spot and the black table legs, black metal chandelier, and black accessories stand out in this white and natural color palette.

A living room with a statement dusty pink fluffy area rug

Right next to the dining area, you can find a lounge space with tints of beige on the sofa and in the soft furnishings. What sets the design of this living area apart is the pink fluffy area rug that also comes back in the nude pink throw pillows on the sofa.

The warm wood tones in the armchair and the combination of brown and beige tones in the artwork on the wall finish this section off nicely and give it a bit more depth.

Light grey cabinets in a kitchen with an angled floorplan

The kitchen has light grey cabinets that match the wall color for an elegant and minimal tone-on-tone effect. The floor plan of the kitchen is quite a challenging one, yet by placing lower cabinets on either side of the space and following the angled wall towards the window, the designer came up with a balanced layout that looks light since there are no upper cabinets on the wall.

The light grey kitchen cabinets have a subtle shaker design, which gives them a classy touch, while still maintaining a minimal look. The stainless steel hardware and faucet and the black details add contrast to the subtle grey kitchen cabinets and the white marble countertops finish this elegant look off nicely.

A breakfast bar has been built in next to the sink and a small dining table has been added right next to the kitchen window. The round black table adds some more contrast to the light grey kitchen cabinets, while the light wood Thonet bentwood chairs complement the classy touch of the shaker cabinets.

Light grey walls and a bedroom wardrobe in the same color

The neutral color scheme has been continued in the bedroom, where the same light grey paint color is used both on the walls and on the custom-built wardrobe, which uses the same shaker cabinets as the ones in the kitchen.

The wall-to-wall white curtains combined with white bedding add a lot of texture to the space, while the black rattan bedside tables stand out against the grey and white walls. The black details in the artwork add some character and the subtle gold hardware on the shaker cabinets of the wardrobe finish this elegant bedroom look off nicely. The double interior doors frame the bedroom style in a perfect way.

A beige tile floor and wall in the bathroom

The minimal yet elegant look has been continued in the bathroom, where beige tiles cover both the walls and floor for a smooth look. The clean lines of the freestanding tub and the chrome fittings give the space a modern look and the natural oak cabinetry adds more warmth to the interior design of the space. The horizontal shower niche extends over towards the bathroom for extra depth added to the bathroom design.
