Each measuring just under 80 square metres, these modern one bed apartment interiors are fresh and welcoming, with a crisp sense of style. The three interiors each have their own personality and colour scheme going on, but what they do have in common is a great attention to how decor can be utilised to create a cohesive environment, and increase the perception of scale. The designs are also great examples of how space is best sectioned - keep scrolling to the end of each apartment tour to see floor plans, including an inspiring before and after layout for home interior number three.
Apartment number one is a Brooklyn apartment, measuring in at 70.5 square metres. An abundance of natural wood tone and jute fill the interior with colour warmth and serene vibes. Small black accents keep everything looking crisp, like the bar stools at the kitchen breakfast bar, a round coffee table in the lounge area, and the lighting throughout.
