These fabulous examples of home designs, interior and exterior, come to us courtesy of the extremely talented Ando Studio, where home visualizations exude class, style and elegance.

Using cool neutral bases, the studio manage to evoke an air of calm and serenity in their designs, making their visualized homes somewhere a person could find relaxing sanctuary at the end of a hectic day. Some of the schemes tease you with tiny punctuations of sophisticated color, dashed in just one accent cushion, a painting or a set of contrasting armchairs.

Each space is kept open and airy with the use of low-level furniture, wicker pieces, and loose fretwork screens to allow the eye to wander from area to area unobstructed.

A large mirror propped against a bare wall helps move the natural light around the space, and make walls disappear.

Storage is kept slick, light, and without handles, so that the cupboard surfaces blend in with the surrounding walls, maintaining the maximum visual proportions of the room.

Exposed brickwork has been adopted here and there to add a little texture to the pale rooms, and has been lit with cleverly situated down lighters for impact.
