A sense of serenity gently trickles through these two modern Japanese style interiors, one large and luxurious, one small and neatly formed. A muted palette of cream, ivory, beige, and light wood tone creates calm cohesivity. Isolated appearances of colour shake up property number one, in the shape of an inviting blush pink sofa, coral pink accented wall art and an à la mode terrazzo bathroom design. Clusters of living greenery breathe life into beautiful vistas around the luxury pad, conjuring zen energy. Wood clad walls and smoothly concealed storage volumes line the walls of the second, narrow property, where a wall of textured tile adds a shimmering focal point.
This contemporary urban home home is shaped with a beautiful Japanese essence that instils a peace and tranquility. The elegant interior features the spatial qualities of the Japanese style, creating a warm and relaxing environment. A plethora of indoor plants secure a revitalising connection between daily home life and the effects of nature.

A paper bedroom pendant light suspends a delicate white orb against an entirely wood clad backdrop, whilst glass pendant lights illuminate the bedside tables.
