It’s the details that dominate these two modern home interiors, each measuring just under 45 square metres (500 square feet). Wall decor is a plain white affair and the larger furniture silhouettes are kept simple, which gives smaller features their moment to shine. Our first tour explores small bursts of burgundy accent colour and classic art reproductions under a rustic wooden ceiling, all stretched into a long and narrow home layout. Our second featured home employs clear glass partition walls to open up the floor plan, and light wood tone elements to bring in a soft natural vibe. Floor plans included at the end of each tour.
