White foundations, textural wooden elements and small green plant accents fuse into peaceful living spaces with style and sophistication. You can’t go far wrong with this palette, but it can fall flat if the room content is decidedly uninspired. In an ideal world, the finished product would be a space that is impressive whilst minimalist, luxe yet understated. This can be easier said than done. So, we’ve gathered together three expert home designs that show how to carry out this look with effortless perfection, without even the slightest hint of humdrum.
The open line of this living area extends to a balcony through floor to ceiling glass, allowing the sun’s temperature to radiate into the space. Light wood interacts with a cool white foundation, creating a gentle atmosphere in the room. Black and grey furnishings thread through the simple minimalist layout. A brassfloor lamp and plant stand assemble a chic dynamic.

A textured white cabinet adds another three-dimensional level to the space. The storage unit serves a reading area/workspace that can also be utilised as a large dining table–though there are multiple dining options attached to the kitchen island.

Wood laminate flooring ends as we enter the kitchen domain, where crisp tiling takes over.

Brass pieces come into play again here too, with the same floor lamp as featured in the lounge, and an eye catching brass bedside table.

Wood panelling also marks out a music wall in the living room, forming the backdrop for a collection of electric guitars. The media unit runs right underneath, linking the music area with a framework TV mount.
A black decorative vase gives the stark one wall kitchen a friendly touch and a splash of greenery. Flat white cabinet doors are cut with vents to reveal glimpses of wooden interiors.
Wood storage units run from the guitar wall of the lounge to the entryway of the bedroom. Shelving is integrated into the end of the units for fluid transition between spaces.

A wooden bathroom stool complements the vanity’s wooden drawer fronts.
Our last tour is a sophisticated space with a hint of mid century modern essence. A wooden media cabinet stands on tapered legs, next to a slouchy brown leather-look armchair. Contemporary style comes back in a geometric rug design and a modern rectangle coffee table.
