Light and love exude from these two family focussed home interiors, created by DSEN. Wide open living spaces encourage family members to come together and interact whilst partaking in separate activities, whether that be cooking or catching up on a little TV. In each of these large open plan living rooms, there is also an additional function added to the standard lounge kitchen diner combo. Family home number one includes a very open modern home office, where mum or dad can get a little work done without being locked far away. In the second welcoming family home, it’s all about creating memories together in an elegant open plan music room.
A double height window brings sunlight rushing into the open plan living room of our first modern family home interior. Dark grey curtains frame and accentuate its impressive height.
A second large window cracks open a home workspace behind the lounge, making a single story room feel just as light and loved.
Greenery fills a natural timber round coffee table in front of the modern sofa, creating an interior garden to compensate for the grey built-up view.
Under the staircase, the space has been utilised as storage and as a TV wall. Wood cladding melds the multipurpose pieces together as one stylish accent.
A glass balustrade makes a light addition to the top of the wood clad wall, with white hardware pulling it together.
The open mezzanine landing creates a valuable connection, allowing family members on the upper and lower stories to communicate easily.
A curved protrusion on the landing forms a romantic balcony-like addition.
The mezzanine also serves as a mounting point for lighting over the double height lounge. Down in the living room, indoor plants revel in the generous spill of natural sunlight.
Wood grain elements move the eye around the predominantly white space, creating a reassuring flow of warmth and natural texture.
In the modern home office, an L-shaped installation of bookcases pull around the desk like a warm hug. A comfortable reading chair and floor lamp make a cosy addition to the workspace.
Drawer inserts optimise the bookcase storage, providing convenient stow away spots for stationery.
A stylish table lamp and a glass vase subtly decorate the desktop.
A much smaller book cabinet furnishes the opposite end of the lounge. Exterior book ledges sweetly display a child’s favourite books.
Over in the kitchen diner section of the open plan living room, a white dining room pendant light crisply announces the family eating area.
A single platform bed and a modern dressing table put wooden accents into the first bedroom. A frosted glass closet reveals a very organised clothing collection.
A number of unique planters dot the space.
The concrete planters and unique plant stands build layers of texture.
Plant life wakes up a tranquil kids bedroom design too.
Sporadic inclusions of soft colour enliven the white and wood tone modern kid's room.
Climbing holds scale a wood clad statement wall. A wooden kid's chair and table set complement the fun feature.
Our second family focussed home interior is a wide open city apartment with wall to wall windows. A long floating tv stand draws attention to the generous room dimensions.
There is no area rug present in the living room, which makes the space feel even bigger. A set of contrasting coffee tables and a side table drift in the sea of open space.
The area behind the sofa has been fashioned into a music room.
Bespoke bookshelves and subtle wall units frame a treasured electric piano.
The music area sits back into the walls, giving it a streamlined appearance that doesn’t encroach upon the adjacent lounge.
A family friendly kitchen diner occupies the final aspect of the large room. The white walls and ceiling ensure that natural light bounces all the way to the back.
The wood laminate floor has been cut away to define the kitchen diner space from the lounge and music room. A sweeping pathway creates a faux hallway effect.
Two Muuto Ambit dining room pendant lights pair up to throw spotlight onto the rectangle dining table.
Mismatched dining chairs create an eclectic look–like a modern take on The Three Bears house...
...Though in this Scandinavian style dining setup, Goldilocks would have to break Baby Bear’s dining bench.
A wall of kitchen cabinets are fitted flush up to a soffit behind the dining area, which gives the installation a clean custom finish.
A Hay Analog wall clock passes the time upon sleek white wall panelling.
The kitchen countertop is a unique curved design that cuts around the corner of the arrangement. A ribbed fascia adds an interesting design element into the room.
Beige base cabinets warm up the inside of the kitchen prep area. Indoor plants add colour and softness to the space.
Brass trims add a luxe touch to open kitchen shelves and cabinet hardware.
A made-to-measure headboard has modern wall sconces added for a smart hotel-like finish. Small bedside tables are delicately adorned with decorative vases and greenery.
Black framed windows add some weight to the light bedroom decor scheme.
The bedroom door is camouflaged within a wood effect wardrobe run.
In the single bedroom, a double workspace makes a perfect setup for mum or dad to help out with homework.
