An elegant modern furniture selection gives this 123 square metre apartment a chic and sophisticated aesthetic. Designed by Julya Chernova, colourful accent walls, curtains, and statement pieces infuse beats of bold personality. Along with the colourful interludes comes an explosion of energised pattern, in the form of botanical prints, geometric designs, and trendy terrazzo finishes. The combination of elements makes an interesting space that is welcoming and invigorating. We’ll also discover beautiful home lighting ideas, a cool bedroom design with a colour-blocked ceiling, plus practical layouts for small bathrooms and a compact kitchen. You can find the full floor plan for this home design at the end of the tour.
Green botanical wallpaper makes an instant impact in the living room, extending bold pattern behind the TV. A black sofa table splits the lounge from a formal dining area, and provides a place to display books and ornaments.

Two large windows fill the living space with natural light. More daylight streams through a set of glazed doors that lead to the kitchen.
The lounge furniture arrangement is rounded out with a curved wicker chair design that complements a freestanding bookcase and a wooden media unit beneath the TV.
A set of display shelves decorate a blank wall beside the formal dining area. At the centre of the unit, a shallow storage cabinet opens to reveal a small writing desk.

A dining room pendant light hangs low to the table, providing a visual anchor that separates it from the adjacent kitchen installation.
Walnut base cabinets and appliance housing units give the kitchen a rich tone. White wall cabinets give the kitchen a more open and spacious appeal.
The home entryway is cheerfully defined from the rest of the hallway by a trendy terrazzo floor treatment.
A small entryway table is teamed with an indoor plant and a couple of decorative mirrors to form an attractive vignette.

Pale grey paintwork defines the doors.
A comfortable teal accent chair and a floor lamp make a cosy reading nook in the corner of the bedroom.

Moving on to the bathroom, we enter a strong, earthy yellow ochre colour scheme. Striking geometric tiles pattern the bathroom floor, creating a big design statement in the compact space.

The geometric floor tiles carry on into the shower area to achieve an uninterrupted flow.
Fluted panels form a textural wet wall inside the shower enclosure. Recessed shelves hold toiletries conveniently to hand.

Made characterful with colour, these three modern home designs are bright and bold. Whilst each one communicates a very different aesthetic, all are connected by green accents. The green elements conjure a revitalising essence that feels close to nature. Our first featured tour is a scene of creative contrast. Clashing colours make a vibrant setting filled with artistic energy and vigour. The second house tour is a journey of discovery through quirky design elements that meld into a truly unique apartment. Last of all, we journey to a home with a decidedly more sophisticated vibe, where neoclassical elements are reimagined under crisp colour-blocking and polished terrazzo.
Inside our first home tour, tangerine, coral, yellow, and pink accents cause a riot of colourful contrast with a wall of mint green storage units. The bright combination conjures an aesthetic fun factor that’s enveloping and warm.
An oval coffee table makes a small centrepiece in the middle of the room, with no living room rug beneath to anchor it. Instead, a luxe white marble floor treatment is celebrated in all of its glossy glory.
Elliptical panels form a stylish room divider between the colourful lounge and the bedroom of the apartment. The panels turn on their axis to provide privacy when required.
A number of mint green units in the living space constitute the kitchen. Pink fish scale-like wall tiles make a bold backsplash with a tropical vibe.
The run of green storage units flows all the way into the bedroom, where the units serve as wardrobes. A tangerine ceiling treatment marks the walkway through the home. It also helps to zone the one-wall kitchen from the lounge.
Behind the room divider, a greige upholstered bed is flanked by eye-catching modern wall sconces. A recessed shelving nook introduces a shock of bright tangerine into the serene bedroom scheme.
Our second home tour is a unique space that’s full of surprises. An inviting tufted sofa is shaped like a curvaceous pod behind two sculptural coffee tables.
Instead of the obligatory living room TV wall, a focal point of archways is arranged alongside illuminated green wall shelves.
Terrazzo flooring defines the kitchen area from the rest of the open-plan living space.
The terrazzo floor treatment snakes around from the kitchen to the home entryway. A green console table design makes a colourful focal point in a small alcove.
A yellow arched doorway makes a cheerful entryway into the bedroom. Its curves are echoed in an undulating headboard design. A floating canopy crosses the ceiling above the bed, illuminated by soft perimeter lighting.
A linear media unit strikes a green underline beneath the bedroom TV.
Inside the bathroom, a green vanity unit is paired with an arched vanity mirror. The whole ensemble is encapsulated within an arch-shaped recess, which is lit around its edges to dramatic effect.
Home tour number three is blessed with sophisticated neoclassical flair. This sage green interior design is formal yet fresh, classical yet youthful.
The modular tufted sofa design introduces a brighter shade of green to create interest and energy.
The TV wall carries a distinctly neoclassical vibe with decorative boiserie moulding.
A curved media unit sweeps underneath the living room TV in a clean white finish.
The curvaceous furniture design complements an interior archway that leads to the home entryway. A pretty stained glass window colours the front door.
A low room divider between the lounge and the dining room is smartly clad in green panelling and a terrazzo top. Decorative glass panels reflect the curves of an arch-shaped dining room chandelier.
The room divider is also a breakfast bar/coffee bar.
Glass base units are backlit to make atmospheric mood lighting around the dining room. The unit lights also draw attention to the racetrack-shaped cutouts in the cabinet doors, which beautifully echo the fluted glass room divider panels.
Abstract wall art carries the green accent onto pale wall decor.
A beautiful ceiling rose explodes a ring of decorative stucco around the dining room ceiling light. The upper cabinets in the kitchen are glass fronted to help the compact kitchen diner to appear more open and spacious. LED strips illuminate the contents of the cupboards to create an attractive feature.
A glass vase and modern fruit bowl make a simple dining table centrepiece. See more ideas for modern fruit bowls.
Inside the master bedroom, dark green accents colour the neoclassical decor scheme. The colour palette continues into an attached home office area.
Green colour-blocking runs behind the headboard and bedside units to create a colourful statement. A pleated floor lamp draws an elegantly curved silhouette in front.
Small gold wall sconces complement the dark green paintwork around the headboard. A bank of fitted wardrobes continues the emerald green theme across an adjacent bedroom wall. The bedside units and the bed itself strike a rich note of deep espresso.

Dark spaces set a strong image with a heavy mood. They appear dramatic and serious, cool and confident. So, what happens when you inject a little colour… Or a lot? These two modern home designs explore the combination of colourful brights in dark spaces, showing how to hit the balance just right. Our first home tour takes place in a charcoal grey home interior that is uplifted with an array of punchy furniture pieces to achieve a 50/50 blend. In contrast, home design number two employs just a couple of electric blue interludes to shake off the shadows of a grey and black backdrop. Each offers a different ratio of colour to achieve exciting aesthetics.
This two-room apartment design was created for a young and enthusiastic homeowner who teaches art history at a university. Therefore the interior was shaped upon a concept of modern style that meets historical elements. In this dark interior concept, a modular sofa and an ottoman coffee table set introduce punchy green, salmon, and yellow interruptions.
Dark walls are cut with bright paint features that form an artistic background for statues and paintings of ancient Greek culture.
Mature indoor plants feather the edges of the room, where they merge into heavy green drapes.
One life-sized statue beside the TV has been given a modern paint treatment that incorporates it into the surroundings more effectively.
The rest of the TV wall offers no media storage but comes alive with a shapely salmon pink painted circle that contrasts against dark grey wall stucco.
A small vase of flowers brightens the coffee table with its all-white arrangement.
The lounge forms an open plan concept with the kitchen and dining area, which each offer a cohesive collection of contrasting colours and tones.
Behind the teal sofa, a small pedestal dining table is encircled by green upholstered dining chairs. A marble vase brings a few glossy green fronds to the dining table centrepiece.
The kitchen is a colour-blocked design, with coniferous green base and wall cabinets and a matching green countertop.
Under cabinet lighting reflects brightly against a reflective black backsplash. A marble utensil holder and serving stand place white accents against the dark background.
A copper kitchen tap warmly complements the dining room pendant light finish.
Inside the bedroom, the riot of colourful interruptions continues with more modern paint effects across a focal wall and a colour-treated greek statue.
The bedroom is divided by a green portiere behind the headboard. The curtain separates the sleeping zone from a home workspace and a dressing area with a custom-cut full-length mirror.
In the home office area, a custom-made green desk is contrasted by an eye-catching yellow desk chair. The workspace runs directly beneath the window and is flanked on either side by two open-fronted wardrobes. An LED desk lamp provides focussed task light to the study area when the sun goes down, and a potted plant delivers light decoration.
A small bedside table holds a vase of contrasting botanical plumes and a modern table lamp for reading.
Scatter cushions and bedclothes are layered to achieve a creatively colourful combination.
In our second featured home design, an electric blue sectional sofa strikes through a dark grey and black living space, creating a visual buzz.
An ornate ceiling rose emerges from a shadowy grey ceiling. Small, recessed spotlights dot across the grey stucco in trios to disperse pockets of illumination. Down below, a small side table and coffee tables echo its circular outline.
The living room floor lamp cuts a sharper silhouette over the sofa, replacing curves with a slimline angular form. Tall interior doors disappear into the grey walls, free from any framework, discernible only by modern back hardware.
The nesting coffee tables bear a unique and bold minimalist aesthetic that strongly competes with the strike of colour.
Surfaces in the room are clear from clutter, which evokes a sculptural feel.
The modular sofa itself looks like a piece of installation art.
The couch is arranged to face two directions in the living room. One faces toward the kitchen diner, whilst the other looks at a TV and wall-mounted media units. The wall-hung cabinets are black wood grain to darkly meld with the moody grey backdrop. A contrasting silver shelving unit catches the sunlight by the window.
Sheer white voiles keep the windows bright. Shallow radiators keep off the chill from the glass.
The fabulous blue light installation flares above a black dining table and six modern chairs.
A glass fruit bowl makes a light-reflective dining table centrepiece.
Behind the contemporary dining set, a modern kitchen works around the back of the living room in an L-shape.
A wall of floating black base units and metallic wall units run into a solid wall of appliance housing units.
An integrated black oven fits sleekly into the wall of black wood grain.
The silver wall units reflect natural light from the kitchen window in a modern linear installation.
The bright blue dining room pendant lights are the first thing the eye focuses on when rounding the corner into the black and grey kitchen diner space. Their bold presence makes a startling effect that builds intrigue and wonder.
