Grey pad number one belongs to a male homeowner who prefers a paired back living style. A low slung grey modern sofa stretches out along the width of the open plan living room, effectively dividing the lounge from a kitchen diner behind it. Wood grain warms and texturises accent walls and floor sections.

An even lower coffee table takes the floor in front of the contemporary linear sofa, without an area rug beneath it that might soften its sharp edged design.

The wood laminate in the lounge ends as the floor transitions into the kitchen diner area. Here, the wood effect planks are swapped out for a hardier tile under a one wall kitchen with island.

The dining table is situated directly up against the kitchen island with no breathing space left between.

The close pairing of the modern dining table with the island saves space in the combined use room, as well as creating a simplified layout. The tv in the lounge can be viewed from the dining area during casual meals for one or two.

A concrete bedroom design awaits in the master suite, manifested as a concrete tile headboard wall and ceiling. A black bedroom pendant light descends in front of one side of the accent wall, with a matching bedside table lamp taking up the opposite spot.

A wood slat wall has been incorporated to divide the closet contents from the sleeping area without fully cutting off the visual, or the light, from either side.

Our second grey apartment design is a 53 square metre apartment in Chisinau, Moldova. A marshmallow soft modern sofa fills the lounge space, where a sleek floor lamp stands poised to cast a spotlight.
A huge expanse of windows run the length of the open plan living room. Glass is a strong theme in this home – we can see the first peek of a glass wall bedroom in this shot.
By night, the textured wood slat feature wall and dark kitchen design take on a dramatic appearance.

Since the bedroom has no windows of its own, the glass walls serve a practical purpose in allowing natural light to come through from the main living space.

Two cast iron radiators warm the cool air from the windows.

A wall hung toilet is located opposite the shower, with its cistern concealed in a false wall with an illuminated shelf nook.

The opposite end of the toilet wall is utilised for storage.
Vivid wall art provides relief from the sombre scheme of grey living room number three – almost evoking a stained glass window effect.

A large indoor plant also adds vibrancy to the dark dining corner.
