A free-flowing layout creates a connected sense of family in this 112 square metre apartment project in the south of Moscow, Russia. Designed by Julia Khabarova, for a young couple with a child, the home was created to include an autonomous master block that avoids the inclusion of dead ends around the main living spaces. A central “cube” forces new scenarios of movement around the apartment in answer to an immovable riser. The material palette of slatted oak veneer, suede upholstery, cool concrete and reflective metals create an earthy aesthetic, alongside tonal shades of grey and warm umber accents. The full floor plan is included at the end of the tour.
Gray living room decor is warmed through with wood clad feature walls formed with layers of slatted texture. The lounge area is lined with heavy drapes that create a soft backdrop for an L-shaped sectional sofa arrangement.
The clients requested the inclusion of a bio fireplace in the living room. The flames ficker openly across a hearth that protrudes toward the adjacent kitchen diner area.
A table for four is adjoined to a central kitchen island. The table can also be extended to accommodate extra dinner guests, serving up to a party of six.
The open plan living space also includes the hallway area. Here, a generous storage system lines the walls, flowing toward the laundry room. Wood panels and slats of different widths form floor-to-ceiling handles on the hallway cabinets. This aesthetic is repeated to create interest across the TV wall in the lounge too, which creates a cohesive look through the open concept.
The modern fireplace is reflected in full length mirrors that are embedded into the opposite wall of the walkway.
A floating bookcase is fashioned into the back of the wall mounted TV cabinet.
The homeowners chose to make the kitchen island countertop deeper, at 750 millimeters, to allow them to comfortably cook and prep on both sides of the worktop.
Oak veneer column units house integrated appliances.
At the end of the kitchen island, a floating sink section allows direct access from three sides. Two-sided pull-out sections offer practical sized drawers that are not too heavy or too deep.
The decor scheme uses an earthy material palette of oak veneer, suede, concrete and metal, alongside shades of grey and warm umber.
A central “cube” was fashioned to accommodate a riser in the apartment. Decorative blue-gray plaster and a recessed lighting strip makes a feature of the volume, which contains the guest bathroom.
The central cube creates diversity in the space, and causes different scenarios of movement.
The laundry room is revealed from behind a sliding door that can be left open without causing obstruction. When drawn back, an umber feature wall adds colour to the hallway.
The door to the guest bathroom is concealed with the dark plasterwork of the “cube”.
The private master bedroom suite sees a repeat of the layered, slatted wall panel treatment. The umber accent returns in the shape of a modern upholstered bed.
A swing arm wall lamp produces focussed reading light over the pillows. A stylish bedroom chair offers another comfortable reading spot in the corner of the room.
Blue artwork brightens the bedroom palette.
A grey bedroom rug brings a cosy factor to the oak laminate flooring.
Grey bedroom curtains copy the plush drapes in the living room.
A glass vase filled with stems adds a splash of greenery by the bed.
Mini bedroom pendant lights are paired at varying height over the bedside table, which compliments its tiered silhouette.
A recessed LED strip cuts down the bedroom focal wall, drawing attention to the artwork and a clean white linear console unit.
The ensuite bathroom is accessed via the dressing area, where smooth oak veneer wardrobes line the walls.
Black fixtures punctuate the guest bathroom, where blue-gray plaster contrasts with a white wet zone and floor tiles. The recessed floor-to-ceiling mirrors are the same inclusions that reflect the modern fireplace out in the living area. The mirrors help build an open, airy and lighter feel inside the compact area.
Built-in shelves thread an element of textural wood grain through the toilet cistern concealment wall.
A slatted room divider marks the entryway into the shower area.
The pedestal sink is positioned up against the slatted shower wall, where its black faucet becomes lost against the dark plaster backdrop. A slimline shelf cuts through the sink unit, extending to the side to hold toiletries and a decorative vase. A perspex stool injects a translucent umber accent into the shower enclosure.
Atmospheric light extends the warming umber accent colour through the entire shower area at night, creating a restful ambiance for unwinding at the end of a long and tiring day.
The floor plan illustrates the flow of family life around the apartment, and the peaceful divide between the private master suite and the kid’s bedroom on the other side of the layout. The laundry room provides an extra sound buffer from the youngest member of the household.

Simplified luxury sweeps through this elegant modern home design, which comes filled with multiple relaxation spaces. Visualised by ArtPartner Architects, this tranquil home design puts focus on self-care with a home sauna, steam room, and several spa-like bathroom interiors. The impressive yet understated interior also features an airy and light-filled double height living room with expansive views over the cityscape and sky. The lofty living room forms a wide connective column that unites the glass-sided upper volumes of the dwelling, creating the ultimate open plan living experience. A coordinated colour and material palette of soothing neutrals, marble vein and modern slatted texture form calming cohesiveness.
A cascade of orb pendant lights rain down from the lofty ceiling of double height living room. Even when switched off, the glass globes magically catch the sunlight from stacked windows that blow open the side of the home to the impressive panorama.
At the centre of the room, an understated glass coffee table echoes the black framed window aesthetic.
A grey modular sofa pulls around the edge of the lounge, looking in toward a stylishly slatted TV wall. Perimeter lighting accentuates the textured wall panels. A modern fireplace flickers gently along the top of a sleek floating media unit.
The opposite side of the modular sofa arrangement is directed toward the fabulous city view, creating a second and very different lounging experience that is more meditative for reflection or reading.
The airy double height lounge area flows directly into the kitchen diner, which is tucked cosily underneath the upper level of the home.
A modern kitchen island is situated to take advantage of the view. Repositionable track lights illuminate the prep area and dining countertop.
A marble kitchen backsplash rises up around double banked wall units. Integrated appliances recess into a wall of dark slatted texture.
Inside the modern home office, the desk is directed away from the wall. Facing the desk toward the door creates good Feng Shui, and establishes a commanding presence.
The L-shaped desk features plentiful storage in its base to avoid visual office clutter. A backlit bookcase offers a place to display a curated collection of decorative items.
The floating media unit in the living room melds into a minimalistic cantilevered staircase design. LED stair lights illuminate the treads, whilst a large orb lamp emits an atmospheric glow underneath.
Upstairs, a glass sauna room offers a welcoming spot for self-care at home.
There is also a home photographic/video production studio, equipped with a white-screen, box light and a full length mirror. Linear wall lights are spaced all around the perimeter of the round room, distributing even illumination.
A small lounge area is set up next to the sauna room. A piece of textural wall art makes a statement behind the modern tufted sofa, whilst a square coffee table and ottoman fills out the remaining floor area.
The sauna area leads straight into a luxurious bathroom.
A narrow privacy wall screens the toilet from the bathtub and the rest of the open concept space.
LED strip lights brighten the shaded corner.
The bathtub has a view out over the open plan living room below, and to the skyscape beyond the double height windows.
Inside the luxury bedroom, eye-catching bedroom pendant lights bring a metallic accent into the dark walnut and black decor theme. An illuminated marble headboard is set in an asymmetrical arrangement with a modern platform bed.
A glass wall makes a clear connection with the ensuite shower room.
A black ceiling gives the shower area an intimate feel despite its open sides.
The toilet cistern concealment wall features beautifully illuminated inset marble panels.
A basin unit is lit around the base to match the glow of the bathroom feature wall.
The glass wall ensuite gives added depth to the bedroom.
The second beautiful bedroom is decorated with a dramatic rock feature wall behind a towering headboard design. A swing arm wall lamp is affixed to a section of wood panelling that contrasts smoothly with the rugged rock.
A grey bedroom rug creates grey layers with the low bed base and grey bed covers.
Grey window drapes gather in the corner of the room, creating a cosy backdrop for the bedroom reading nook.
Another textural feature wall adds character to the third bedroom.
On one side of the upholstered bed, a group of unique pendant lights bring a lustrous brass accent. A simple wall lamp adds reading light to the other side.
Floating bedside units affix to the textured art wall.
A home work space/dressing table fits into the bedroom alcove.
Another vanity table resides inside of a luxurious walk-in wardrobe, alongside a beautifully custom fitted system of shelving, garment rails, and floating drawer units.
Inside the laundry room, a washing machine and tumble dryer stack tall to save space. Vertical shelving units flank either side, storing laundry supplies and household cleaning items.
Tiny LEDs sparkle like starlight over the vaulted ceiling of a dreamy steam room.
All of the bathrooms in the home are equally spa-like, clad in smooth marble, atmospherically lit and custom fitted.
The repeated combination of materials and colours throughout each room creates a cohesive calm.
Despite the repetition in materials, each space has its own unique twist.

Located in a residential area of São Paulo, Brazil, the design concept for this luxury 1280 square metre home all started with the swimming pool. Designed by Matheus Farah + Manoel Maia Arquitetura, this luxurious home design centres around a huge pool that can be seen from the majority of rooms in the house, where the easy indoor-outdoor living style is bestowed. The architecture of Ibsen House was created to facilitate shared moments and connected living by way of impressively large sliding walls, whilst also providing intimate privacy. The home’s most private space is located underground, where special neon lighting and acoustic treatments shape the Redroom, the ultimate party hideaway.
Retractable walls break open the large open plan living space, fully connecting the luxurious living room with the expansive pool terrace and gardens.
A wooden volume is suspended above the kitchen diner area. Its solid wooden facade peels back with two sets of bifold shutters to reveal a modern home office space. To maintain the suspended wooden block appearance, the ceiling of the home office is also completely wood clad. Bookshelves draw colour across the back wall.
At dusk, the vast vertical garden walls are illuminated to surround the open sided home with lush greenery even after dark. The tropical leaves grow dramatic texture and form to feather the edges of the linear modern architecture.
The open layout is a coordinated plan of colour, materials and connected functionality that maintains a close relationship with the outer environment.
The layout is almost free of fixed walls. The vertical gardens and large sliding panels divide the living spaces, creating tranquil hybrid areas that cause crossed encounters.
At one end of the luxurious living room, a TV lounge is furnished with a massive bookcase that explodes colour into the grey white and wood tone decor scheme. Deep blue accent pieces provide further disruption from the neutral palette, by way of scatter cushions and statement chairs.
A large area rug defines the comfortable lounge area from the rest of the open plan by forming a cosy island of light colour and soft texture underfoot.
A formal dining area runs alongside the lengthy kitchen island at the other side of the room.
The underside of the wood-clad suspended home office volume is reflected by a solid wood kitchen island countertop. A concrete base builds cool contrast.
A second lounge is situated out on the decked terrace, right up by the swimming pool.
A piece of modern art basks in the sunlight.
The exterior arrangement of commanding blocks are interrupted by more vertical gardens that harmoniously meld the volumes with the tropical surroundings.
The architecture and planting guarantee intimate discretion.
Red outdoor furniture upholstery marks the change in zone from the cool blue accented interior.
A rooftop deck adds to the house’s leisure areas.
On the other side of the social volume, doors on longitudinal tracks open to connect with an outdoor dining room.
Moving to the upper floor, we see the suspended home office from the inside. When closed, the wood slatted shutters create a private cocoon.
A bespoke built-in desk, storage units and wall shelves fill the full length of the narrow workspace.
A small indoor lounge and kitchen adjoin with the roof terrace.
The rooftop social areas offer a privileged view over the local neighbourhood. Guest rooms and other private facilities overlook the pool through large windows.
An outdoor dining set, outdoor sofas and a large jacuzzi are set upon a parade of wood decking, whilst a set of sun loungers recline upon a grassy verge.
Going underground, not only does the house hold a fitness room and a large garage but there is access to the hidden Redroom. Atmospheric red lighting and special acoustic treatments facilitate an ideal location for the homeowner’s private parties.
Red neon lights stripe the ceiling and walls of the party room, creating a glitzy nightclub appearance. An illuminated bar brightly strikes down the length of the space, making backlit silhouettes of the modern bar stools. A big TV screen is set in place for sports and events.
The wood slatted shutters that reinstate privacy cross the wide open sided volumes cause attractive light play upon the interiors.
Vertical gardens and tall tropical trees afford glass walled rooms with sunlight-filled privacy.
Exterior stairs link the terraces.
The ground floor plan makes an L-shaped arrangement around the edge of the rectangular swimming pool, placing the master suite perpendicular to the main living room.
Two stylish lounge chairs and a small table make a perfect spot for morning coffee on the bedroom deck.
The suspended deck is created by the supporting structure of the bedroom’s wide wood slatted privacy shutters.
Sleek white marble fashions a luxe bathroom interior, where black fixtures & fittings and a black toilet pan provide dark accents. A square skylight opens up the ceiling to natural daylight.
Clad in honey-toned timber, the contemporary home exterior warmly contrasts the clear blue skies.

Chic and sophisticated in its clean modernity, this pristine home design puts family life through a serene filter. Designed by Darya Maiorova, this family home interior features soft upholstery and rugs that are bravely light to uplift an open plan living space. Black accents are used to add depth and gloss to the neutral surroundings, across a statement kitchen backsplash and black accented window reveals. The kids’ bedrooms themselves are light, crisp and stylish, with bespoke kids’ desk designs and decorative shelving walls. The parental room is a place for restful recuperation from the children, with its own quiet workspace. Bathroom inspiration comes by way of contemporary vanity units and boldly contrasting black fixtures.
Reuleaux-triangle nesting coffee tables overlap at the centre of the peaceful, light modern living room arrangement, adding a moment of smooth wood tone.
Two open ended modular sofas shape a connected, free-flowing layout. Dark accent cushions punctuate their light upholstery.
At the other side of the large area rug, a modern TV stand is flanked by windows on either side. Pale drapes contrast with black painted window reveals and colour coordinated radiators.
Two fresh white lounge chairs form a third wall of seating, teamed with two darkly contrasting small side tables.
A small tree has been introduced behind the lounge area to incorporate a touch of nature, a splash of enlivening greenery, and an element of elegant height.
The kitchen and dining area unfold across the back of the open concept. Wood effect panels encase a beautifully curved feature wall at the end of the kitchen run, which echoes a curvaceous microcement wall on the opposite side of the walkway.
The small side table at this end of the lounge has a rounded silhouette to complement the curved walls.
A black backsplash and countertop cuts through the wood effect kitchen, disrupting the smooth, warm aesthetic with a dramatic sweep of deep shadow.
A round pedestal dining table draws upon the black accent theme, and introduces en vogue ribbed texture. Four modern white dining chairs encircle the black dining table with moments of light relief. Decorative bowls arrange a stylish table centrepiece.
The kitchen “backsplash” is actually a set of shallow smoked glass-fronted cabinets, which reveal softly lit glimpses of flatware, coffee mugs and kitchen appliances. The surrounding wooden cabinets extend all the way to the ceiling line to capitalise on vertical space and to build a clean, streamlined finish.
Modern linear wall lights cast a warm glow at either side of the headboard design, where integrated switches and sockets are embedded directly into the cushioned upholstery.
Contemporary bedside units carry curves into the scheme.
A large indoor plant is included here in the bedroom too, growing a sense of serenity in this adult haven away from the children of the household.
The black window reveal treatment is repeated here, giving the light bedroom greater depth and interest. Sheer voiles breezily frame the large windows.
A third linear wall light illuminates a bedroom workspace.
The bespoke desk design is expertly shaped to follow the inner curve of the wall.
An understated modern desk chair accompanies the unique floating desk.
Beside the bed, a door leads into a well-proportioned walk-in closet. Thin LED strips highlight the edges of a smart closet system that’s stacked with shelves, clothes rails and built-in chests of drawers.
In the minimalist master bathroom, a unique bathroom sink crosses a custom cut floor-to-ceiling vanity mirror. A black bathroom faucet protrudes from the glass.
A small rustic stool adds a natural touch to the shower area.
A frameless shower screen leaves the bathroom window completely unobstructed.
The shared kids’ room is given a child-friendly twist with a cool space-themed wall mural. A single channel tufted headboard design links twin beds together beneath a black track light.
A light bedroom rug links the beds together at the foot.
Flush-fitting, frameless interior doors extend all the way to the ceiling line throughout the home.
Decorative wall shelves dot a modern pattern across the window wall.
Twin wardrobes flank a kid’s study area, where more storage is revealed from behind sliding wooden doors.
Black paintwork around the bedroom window draws attention to a small, cosy window seat above the radiator.
The second kids’ space in this home is a single bedroom with a gentle touch of colour. A cushioned wall panel extends the kids’ upholstered bed across the length of the room, creating a cosy backing.
Two square ottomans provide occasional seating for friends or siblings.
A small wall sconce shines focussed reading light over the pillows.
The kids’ desk design in this room works double duty as a bedside unit. An icy blue finish accentuates its attractively rounded drawer shape.
The pale blue accent is repeated in a floating storage unit on the adjacent wall, and across a series of decorative pegboard shelves.
Kids wall art extends the blue palette.
The family bathroom is geared toward sibling harmony with a double sink vanity unit. Wicker laundry baskets tuck away underneath.
Wood panels conceal the toilet cistern.
Microcement neatly encases the fitted bathtub, merging it with the coordinating walls.
Black bathroom fittings stand out darkly against the pale wall treatment.
Wood panelling frames the end of the hallway.

While these two distinctive home interiors differ in scale and colour palette, they find common ground in sleek modern decor, industrial accent walls, and open concept bedroom designs. The first of our two featured home designs is a soothing pale grey interior with rugged exposed brickwork and a slatted wall bedroom design directly off the living room. In colourful contrast, our second featured home interior comes alive with teal and bright yellow accent pieces that warm and uplift cool concrete industrial feature walls. A glass wall bedroom design opens up on two sides to fully meld it with the neighbouring lounge and kitchen diner spaces.
Located in Kyiv, Ukraine, this 83 square metre apartment features an open plan lounge, kitchen diner combo. The soft grey modern sofa melds tranquilly with colour matched living room walls.
A slatted wall clearly divides the bedroom from the main living space without obstructing its view altogether. The open concept increases the sense of space and light in the home, and achieves an easy flow. A rugged brick feature wall builds an aged, industrial effect across one side of the room, drawing focus to the TV.
The dark and sculptural lamp duo by the end of the sofa are Muffins floor lamps by Dan Yeffet for Brokis.
A light grey round rug almost disappears against the smooth grey microcement floor.
An arrangement of two small side tables and a rustic coffee table lay down solid black accents across the sea of grey.
A wide kitchen island draws across the open plan living room, with a dining table extension taking advantage of natural light by the window.
The dining table extension can be retracted over the sink in the kitchen island when not in use. This shift brings prep surface area close to the hob and clears floor space when the kitchen diner is not in use. A push down faucet descends under the cover.
A lengthy floor lamp stretches across the multifunctional island countertop.
A smaller version of the floor lamp draws the same linear aesthetic across the lounge area.
Open kitchen shelving displays organised rows of flatware, wine glasses and serving bowls.
Inside the master bedroom, a floor bed design incorporates an upholstered bedside unit. On the other side, a small side table is teamed with the Sampei floor lamp designed by Davide Groppi and Enzo Calabrese.
The industrial vibe is dominant inside the bathroom. The rugged, white-washed brick wall treatment we originally encountered in the living room now creates a feature wall behind the tub. Microcement floods the floor in here too, creating smooth contrast with the aged brickwork.
An illuminated bathroom mirror emits a fresh white glow onto the vertical tile behind the vanity. Black grout accentuates the precise tilework.
A slender floor lamp leans elegantly toward the bathtub, providing focussed reading light for long soaks.
Black fixtures complement the unique black marble bathtub.
The modern bathroom fixtures and Sampei floor lamp create sleek contrast with the rough brickwork.
Inside the kids’ room, an upholstered kids’ bed provides a soft landing for pillow fights.
Modern wood effect wall panelling builds a cosy wraparound with hidden storage spaces.
A Baymax plush toy leans up against a built-in bookcase, which is given contrast with black shelves & backing material.
A kid’s study area occupies the industrial style wall. A floating desk cuts cleanly across the brickwork.
This 57 square metre home in Moscow, Russia, is styled with raw concrete feature walls and colourful accents.
A round coffee table smoothly fills in the centre of the small space, without any sharp corners to knock into.
A short, central wall has been installed to accommodate the TV set and a floating tv stand. The TV wall’s small stature only partially obscures the glass wall bedroom design, enabling plentiful light share.
The plush grey area rug echoes the tone and shading of the living room’s concrete feature wall.
Following the L-shaped living room layout around the corner of the glass wall bedroom design, we come to the kitchen diner.
Directional kitchen pendant lights descend on a walnut dining bar, which achieves a floating effect on a transparent support leg.
Deep teal paintwork darkens the home entryway, whilst a small pouf provides a cheerful pop of bright yellow.
Floor-to-ceiling frameless mirrors climb behind the pouf and beside the entry door, increasing the sense of space in the small foyer.
A teal headboard wall continues the cohesive colour palette inside the bedroom. A grey upholstered platform bed carries the soothing grey element.
An extended headboard design fills the width of the room, and provides a mount for a floating bedroom vanity table.
The teal accent continues over the ceiling, fashioning a darkened, cosy cocoon. The glass walls of the bedroom open on two sides to create one square open living space.
A bright yellow vanity stool pulls up to the wall mounted makeup table. Industrial style pendant lights fall in front of the round mirror.
A walk-in wardrobe stands just off the home entryway, with space to stow away some cleaning equipment.
Yellow accents bring mellow warmth to the bathroom through a statement vanity unit and stunning, patterned wall tiles.
Wood effect wall tiles clad the wet wall.
A double workspace has been installed at one side of the lounge, alongside office storage units and a custom-built floor-to-ceiling bookcase. See more ideas for double seat workspaces.
