Punchy, colourful accents send a current of youthful fun throughout this modern home interior. Visualised by One More Buro, this 186 square metre private apartment was designed for a young couple and their pet cat. The spacious home features four large panoramic windows that flood the open living space with light. A bright orange home office area forms a prominent feature within the living space, which allows the homeowners to spend time together even when involved in different tasks. A second, private home office space is combined with the guest bedroom for times of deeper concentration, and a home gym offers the owners a space in which to stretch their muscles and decompress.

The client’s principal requirement was that a workspace be included within the open plan living space, so that he wouldn’t be cut off from his home life. The workspace had to be a bespoke unit that could accommodate all of the equipment needed. In answer, the home office area became an entire wall of cabinets with a prominent orange finish. This colourful piece sets the tone for the rest of the youthful interior.

With punchy accent pieces dominating the decor scheme, areas of peaceful white breathing space take on added importance. A creamy white upholstered sofa is framed by matching drapes and fresh white walls. A black tripod floor lamp adds a moment of dark difference.
