Peaceful in their resolute minimalism, these four modern home designs are a picture of harmonious decor and simplicity. Each one of the home layouts are pared back to only what is necessary whilst remaining stylish, sophisticated and oh so comfortable. The calming living room schemes revolve around crisp contemporary sofa designs rather than a multitude of extras, though none appear uncomfortably underdressed. The minimalist kitchens installed inside these homes are ultimately focussed on their prime function, yet remain curiously upmarket. Light bedrooms are sleek and inviting without a single shred of ostentatiousness, perfectly tranquil havens in which to clear the mind and settle the soul.
Located in Odessa, Ukraine this home has a light and cool aesthetic. A minimalist layout of modern furniture pieces leaves the open plan living room feeling clean and free flowing. It is a place where the stresses of the day are cleared out and filed neatly away.
