If you love the look of beautifully smooth grey and white interiors as we do, then this is a great set of inspirational home designs for you. Ranging from a dark moody grey apartment, moving through a couple of more balanced schemes and finishing off with a much lighter and brighter example of a space. This spectrum really has something to suit everybody’s grey loving tastes. Each of these four contemporary interiors also follow a minimalist style that fits with a modern lifestyle. Open plan living rooms where a sociable kitchen and dining space overlook a lounge area; serious home offices for working around the clock, large bedrooms and spacious bathrooms.
House interior number one holds an all star grey composition. A cosy yet modern sofa, a soft area rug, curtains and wall paintwork are all smooth shades of grey. The single hued composition could fall flat if not for the purity of white elements that pepper the scene. White decorative vases, scatter cushions and a coffee table tray are all presented as unpatterned accents that lift the scheme by their very simplicity.

Cool swing arm wall lamps are the wall adornment of choice right now, and here above the grey sofa we find the Flos Mod 265 model.

The dining area is also a vision of pure uninterrupted white.

A white dining table and dining chairs are situated directly by a white kitchen island. Above the square table, a cluster of suspension dining room pendant lights are coated in black with white interiors, which ties in with the high contrast monochrome scheme. The Flos Aim light has 3 LED light points to brighten the whole dining area.
In the dark grey bedroom we find singular bedroom pendant lights that match the Flos Aim seen out in the dining room. They light the two white bedside units that run into the bed frame. At the headboard, a large piece of modern art adds another flash of white against the dark wall, and contrasts with textured heavy grey curtains.
Our second modern home pulls back on the grey in favour of more white. All white walls and a pale floor lay backdrop to a light grey sofa and pouffe, and a unique floor lamp with a charcoal shade.

The modern sofa is an L-shape that acts as a divide between the lounge and kitchen space. In this home the dining room is slightly offset to one side of an open plan layout, yet still fully visible through large glazed exterior doors.

A white breakfast bar is accented with two dark kitchen stools.

In the master bedroom, a chair has a cushioned grey liner to complement smart dark grey bedclothes.
A dreamy white and shiny welcome awaits in our third home tour. A very light grey sofa gives the scheme some weight, along with a small gallery of black and white photography, monochrome scatter cushions and a matching black fruit bowl.

On the TV wall there is another selection of eye-catching monochrome art and a group of decorative vases.

The lounge area has been divided from the home entryway with a built-in closet that has been fitted with mirrored doors. The floor in the entryway is white marble, which is replaced with white plank flooring as we move through into the lounge.

A chest of drawers, shoe bench and coat rack are all matching in white.

The kitchen is completely white with plain fronted units stacked floor to ceiling.

The only accents in the minimalist kitchen are a black oven, hob and extractor.
Our fourth and last snoop around is in an apartment that throws a good dose of black in amongst the balance of grey and white.

Oversized dining table pendant lights plus a swing arm wall lamp in the lounge bring a darker tone to the proceedings. A wall of brown-black wood tone adds to the darker vibe.

Eight grey dining chairs nestle around the circular dining table in front of a white kitchen.

The wall opposite the bed provides some light relief.
