Urban living can be extremely hectic. The busy lights, sounds, and schedules of a major city is inherently stressful, even for those that thrive in such an environment. This apartment, from designer Anton Medvedev, manages to quite literally rise above this atmosphere. The stunning interior is perfectly minimal with calming materials, smooth, clean lines, and a color palette that is so neutral you can almost hear the silence of the apartment.
The living room and kitchen are open to one another and both utilize a white, gray, and natural wood look. The slick hardwood floors are certainly notable, serving to unify each part of the apartment. The endtables that flank the soft sofa are hollow, creating simple but elegant lines. This design extends to the kitchen where barstools mimic the same shape.
In the dining room, natural light floods over the beautiful wood table, bouncing off the smooth white walls, for an ethereal and appetizing feeling. The modern windowseat consists of a wood slat bench with two simple trees, bringing a bit of nature up to the high floor.
Rather than use area rugs, the interiors where barefeet may be preferred have soft panels that fit together, creating another level of flooring. The resulting look is very minimalist with none of the eccentricity of a furry, soft carpet.
In the bedroom, white and gray are still pervasive. The low platform bed is flanked on either side with creative end tables. These surfaces extend from the ceiling to the floor, drawing the eye up and helping to elevate the apartment's ceilings even further.
Closet space and other storage options can never truly be minimal, but the walk-in closet here has plenty of nooks, crannies, and simple wood hangers to keep things are organized as possible. Of course, images with the closet devoid of clothes are not exactly indicative of how a person might live, but they do add to the overall impression of the space.
Finally, the bathroom is a cool, white retreat covered in stone and outfitted with elegant porcelain. From a deep, dreamy soaking tub to matching porcelain sinks and mirrors, it is a beautiful private space.
