Everybody knows that first impressions are everything, and that’s true for our homes too. If the front of your house doesn’t look great, people will assume the inside doesn’t either. To get you inspired to spruce up your home’s curb appeal, here’s an epic roundup of gorgeous exteriors organized by style.
This selection of calmly laconic interiors comes from the works of Anastasia Zhurikova. Whilst these visualisations do not depict a singular home design, they sport a connected colour palette of warm greige and natural wood tone around a similarly smooth minimalist style. Rounded furniture silhouettes and naturalistic pieces give these interior spaces a welcoming and relaxed essence that promotes a feeling of well-being. The light, soft neutral colour palette quiets the mind and brings peace to the soul. Soothing and serene, this gallery of greige offers inspiration for open plan living spaces, tranquil bedroom designs with a mild modern flavour, and contemporary minimalist bathroom designs.
This subdued greige living room design has an easy flow from lounge to kitchen diner. A bespoke mirrored room divider makes a light-reflective partition that increases the sense of space despite the visual block. In front of the mirrored divider, a greige sectional sofa melds quietly with the surroundings, whilst the living room rug introduces subtle texture.
A modern living room floor lamp appears sculptural in the minimalist living room layout, free from the visual clutter of any additional decorative items. The TV too is mounted in solitude, bar a low linear media unit that skims close to the floor.

On the bathroom wall that stands opposite the twin basins, a series of unique wall shelves echo the racetrack-shaped silhouette of the vanity unit. The three long shelves offer generous storage space for all of the homeowner’s favourite lotions and cosmetics.
Muted red accents add visual heat to the plain white expanses of this large, minimalist abode.

The mind is allowed to peacefully rest in spaces with clean-lined storage solutions, sharp furniture silhouettes, and reserved modern light installations.

The minimalist mood can be effectively communicated through a stark and sharp aesthetic that makes a bold impact, or can be more gently conveyed through a soothing natural setting that settles the soul. The two home interiors that we feature here today are rounded out with tactile curved edges, beautiful natural wood tone, and cushiony soft furnishings.
