Brown, white, and gray decor communicates a serene and contemporary design aesthetic that fills interiors with a mellow modernity. When skillfully interwoven, these neutral tones offer timeless elegance that transcends trends, demonstrating the power of understated elegance in modern design. Designed by Babayants Architects, this modern home design features warm, earthy shades of brown that infuse a cozy, inviting ambiance, which creates a harmonious contrast against the freshness and purity of white. Shades of gray act as a delicate bridge between the two, lending a touch of sophistication and balance. Come with us as we tour a chic brown, white, and gray open-plan living room, three stylish bedrooms, and a compact guest bathroom.
A light brown sofa adds an instant boost of visual warmth to the predominantly white living space. Its soft, cushiony design is sectioned around a square coffee table that delivers stark black accents.
Wooden panels construct a half-height TV wall. Lightweight floating shelves flank the TV, which rests on a long, linear media console. A ribbon of LED light causes a cozy glow to flood from beneath the unit, which builds upon the warming appeal of the wood tone.
A small side table displays an elegant designer table lamp between the sofa sections. It illuminates several stacks of coffee table books which build upon the homely feel of the sitting area.
The bespoke wooden TV mount curves around the corners of the living room, creating a softened effect. Interior doors in the apartment are frameless and fit floor-to-ceiling to lessen visual clutter.
Herringbone flooring covers the living room with a light blonde tone. A soft beige living room rug melds with the light wood floor.
An open doorway connects the airy living room with a welcoming home entryway.
Beside the front door, a letterbox-shaped shoe storage niche is backlit. The glow creates the impression of an inviting fireplace.
The shoe storage area is situated underneath a bank of freestanding wardrobes that store coats and bags. The freestanding volume creates a dividing wall between the home entryway and the kitchen diner. Modern wall art adds to the calming nature of neutral decor palette.
In the home entryway, wood herringbone flooring is switched out for hardwearing tile. A small entryway table bridges an open gap between the front door and the kitchen. A round, upholstered stool tucks neatly underneath to assist in putting on shoes.
The wooden storage volume is curved around its corners to create an easy flow.
The modern kitchen is dominated by a gray stone island with tactile, curved columns. A small wooden dining table runs off the island, creating a streamlined layout. See more inspiration for modern kitchens.
Two black bar stools furnish the breakfast bar.
Sheer white voiles lightly frame the windows.
Wooden kitchen cabinets are recessed into the clean white kitchen walls. Stainless steel kitchen appliances coolly complement the gray stone kitchen island.
A modern chandelier illuminates the small dining area. See more ideas for stylish dining room pendant lights.
White wall cabinets align smoothly with the kitchen walls, achieving a minimalistic finish.
Gray marble backsplashes match the luxe kitchen island.
Open kitchen shelving provides a pop of visual interest in the minimalist setting.
Inside the master bedroom, a plush pale gray platform bed contrasts a rich wooden headboard design.
A tall floor vase fetches greenery into the peaceful gray, white, and brown bedroom decor scheme.
A modern wall sconce highlights a floating nightstand.
Raised flooring creates zoning between the sleep space and a small sitting area by the window.
Bedroom wall decor is minimal to promote rest and relaxation.
The kid’s bedroom receives a pop of color in the form of a modern green desk chair. Origami animal sculptures playfully decorate the modern bedroom furniture.
A bespoke, cushioned headboard brings a warm, light brown accent into the white bedroom decor scheme. Round, 3D relief wall art is backlit to form a creative modern wall sconce over the bedside table. A round gray rug encircles and contrasts the brown upholstered bed.
The floating kid’s desk crosses beneath the window, where its owner can benefit from natural light. A unique desk lamp is on hand for when the sun goes down. A floating bookshelf hugs one end of the desk, alongside two wall-mounted storage units.
A second bookshelf punctuates the end of the storage wall; it causes a clean, visual divide between the sleeping area and the workspace. A white, picture frame TV matches the shelving unit, while a wood-slatted TV mount coordinates with the textured storage unit.
The compact guest bathroom is enriched with wooden panels on three walls. The remainder of the room is decorated with contrasting cool gray tile and fresh white paintwork. Heated towel bars keep bathroom linens dry in the windowless room.
A unique, round mirror is tinted with a rosy haze of pink. A small wall sconce lights the wooden vanity unit. An integrated basin dips into the crisp white bathroom countertop.
Bathroom accessories and the toilet are wall-mounted to leave the limited floor space clean and clear.
On the floor plan, we can see that the modern apartment boasts a third bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. A large closet fills the hallway in the bedroom wing. The guest bathroom is accessed just off the living room and home entryway.
