A sense of serenity gently trickles through these two modern Japanese style interiors, one large and luxurious, one small and neatly formed. A muted palette of cream, ivory, beige, and light wood tone creates calm cohesivity. Isolated appearances of colour shake up property number one, in the shape of an inviting blush pink sofa, coral pink accented wall art and an à la mode terrazzo bathroom design. Clusters of living greenery breathe life into beautiful vistas around the luxury pad, conjuring zen energy. Wood clad walls and smoothly concealed storage volumes line the walls of the second, narrow property, where a wall of textured tile adds a shimmering focal point.
This contemporary urban home home is shaped with a beautiful Japanese essence that instils a peace and tranquility. The elegant interior features the spatial qualities of the Japanese style, creating a warm and relaxing environment. A plethora of indoor plants secure a revitalising connection between daily home life and the effects of nature.
A soft blush pink sofa creates gentle contrast with the green elements around the perimeter of the living room. A large living room rug spans the width of the room toward a second sofa in neutral cream upholstery. A modern round coffee table stylishly occupies the space between.
An open fireplace heats the large living room. A textural design creates a pale lace-like pattern across the chimney breast and flanking walls. Decorative vases cluster on the dark hearth.
An imperial bonsai tree grows inside an indoor courtyard, which is accessed via traditional Japanese Shōji screen doors. A second set of paper doors are situated on the opposite side of the indoor garden, allowing sunlight to gently filter in.
More indoor plant beds overspill at each side of a modern staircase design, which features cantilevered wood treads and clear glass balustrades.
An informal reading area has been fashioned right beside the doors that lead into the courtyard. When the Shōji screen doors are drawn back, the simple reading area gains spectacular scenery.
A paper bedroom pendant light suspends a delicate white orb against an entirely wood clad backdrop, whilst glass pendant lights illuminate the bedside tables. Wood clad walls spread below the wood ceiling treatment, and mature indoor plants complement the natural tone. A thick bedroom rug is rolled out alongside a bedroom Chabudai table.
A set of two Zaisu floor chairs furnish the opposite side of the table.
Floating bookshelves serve as bedside tables.

The blush pink accent that’s used inside of the home translates into four modern pink stools around the outdoor bar.
A fun pink vase adds a pop of coordinating colour onto the outdoor coffee table.
