A crisp white sofa makes a light center point in our first modern home design. The light upholstery brings a breath of fresh, contemporary air to the cream and wood-tone backdrop.

A wood coffee table adds just a hint of color down in front of the sofa, and houses an array of interesting ornaments. The pale gray living room rug softens the floor underfoot and offers a cool counterbalance to the chevron wood floor treatment.

There is a swathe of wood paneling and cabinet doors in the living room that add a dominating force of warmth, tone, and texture.

Behind the couch, a small dining area is accessorized with a dainty black and pearl-white glass pendant light.

A cantilevered media unit makes a wooden accent in front of a textured glass wall. Both the glass and the wood are finely reeded to establish a common theme.

A glass teapot and matching glass tea cups make a pretty dining table addition.

The compact dining area is furnished with just two black dining chairs. However, the rear of the sofa doubles as a dining room banquette.

The living room stands open to the home entryway, which gives the modest apartment a more spacious appearance. A large, full-length mirror increases the perception of space in the open-plan entryway. Wooden storage units line the opposite side.

A round pouf makes a convenient dressing area by the door for putting on shoes. The frameless front door is color-coordinated with the neutral walls to lessen its imposition.

The home office is a narrow space but a large window makes it feel welcoming and open. A bespoke computer desk is installed directly across the window where the workspace will benefit from the most natural light. A white ergonomic desk chair provides comfort and style.

A unique table lamp drops a pop of orange into the neutral home office decor scheme, adding a touch of fun.

Wooden storage units stow away office paraphernalia and fill the room with a comforting visual warmth. A narrow bookcase and a soft lounge chair come together to create a cosy reading nook.

The bathroom has a magical warmth, thanks to thoughtful mood lighting and a deep orange decor scheme.

Perimeter LEDs bring dark orange tiles to life inside the walk-in shower area.

The orange tiles are balanced by beige counterparts to create added dimension and depth.

Inside the beige bedroom, a row of fitted walnut wardrobes features a neat built-in nightstand. A matching walnut bedside unit wings the other side.

The end of bed bench strikes a clean white note across the furniture arrangement.

A chic bedside table lamp complements a pair of round wall sconces above the headboard. The headboard has a split design, placing a cushioned strip independently from the bedstead.

Wood paneling clads the foot of the bedroom layout. A small, minimalist dressing table extrudes from the smooth panels.

A round vanity stool ties in with a circular vanity mirror.

Our second featured home design has a sophisticated appeal. Graceful pendant lights float above an open-plan sitting area, adding a sculptural element to the interior.

The TV wall is framed by a wooden media unit and bookcase. Ribbons of LED light burn softly around the wall-mounted screen.

The light gray small sofa is contrasted by a dainty black side table and a matching black coffee table.

A designer table lamp adorns the black side table, adding a small glow of ambient light.

Framed artwork makes a large but serenely neutral splash across the living room wall.

A chunky white marble countertop crowns the wood-slatted kitchen island with a slice of luxury.

The oval dining table is decorated with wood-slatted legs to make a textural connection with the kitchen island.

A black console table and a designer lamp underline and highlight 3D artwork, elegantly completing the formal dining room ensemble.

The L-shaped kitchen installation is extended to the ceiling line, making a wonderful wooden backdrop for the open-plan dining room and sitting area. See more ideas for an L-shaped kitchen with kitchen island.

The upper kitchen cabinets are textured with slatted doors, which adds interest to the smooth installation. Open kitchen shelving displays a refined collection of decorative vases and bowls.

A reeded glass vase makes a kitchen island centerpiece. Its ribbed texture complements the slatted cabinet doors and dining table design.

Saddle-seated bar stools emit a distinctive Japanese inspired aesthetic.

A linear suspension light runs the full length of the wooden kitchen island, brightly illuminating its luxe white marble countertop.

The modern kitchen faucet adds a touch of black and metallic luster to the setup.

Wooden herringbone flooring ties the open plan living space together with beautiful tone and grain.
