White and gray modern home interiors appear clean and fresh but sometimes lack warmth. In these two contemporary home designs, we’ll see how pale wooden accents add subtle visual heat to the palette, without pushing the aesthetic into the rustic realm. Our first featured home interior includes an airy open plan layout with a dual height living space. Light wood accents soften the monochrome meld, adding areas of texture and interest. Our second home tour takes place in a smaller home with a cozy ambiance. Here, pale wood elements are complemented by an injection of earthy olive green, which threads a cohesive color story through the entire apartment.
At the heart of our first featured living space, nesting coffee tables create a warm moment of wood tone and texture upon a large area rug.
A greige tufted sofa complements the light wood tone elements in the room. Opposite the couch, a modern fireplace burns brightly within a wood surround. A wooden hearth underlines the fireplace wall in its entirety, whilst fluted wood paneling adds a brief crown of texture to the top of the chimney breast.
The double-height living room has a predominantly white decor scheme, which creates a cool and airy aesthetic. The wooden elements counteract the coolness of the blank backdrop.
A modern staircase design cuts through the crisp white decor scheme with natural wood treads and risers. Glass vases are filled with a floral display to create an understated botanical table centerpiece.
Under the staircase, the white wall render is cut away with a decorative scalloped edge.
Wooden Venetian blinds dress the windows.
A wine storage wall decorates the formal dining area. Gray upholstered chairs flank a trendy racetrack-shaped dining table.
Across the room, a casual dining spot is decorated with vibrant artwork and a more simple wooden dining set. Two modern wall sconces and a contemporary linear suspension light illuminate the space. See more ideas for stylish linear suspension lights.
A large kitchen island serves the center of a spacious white and wood kitchen design. Stainless steel kitchen appliances add metallic shimmer.
A small scullery hides away food messes when guests are present in the large open plan living space.
The kitchen ceiling is warmed by wood cladding. The cladding also serves as a visual zoning technique to separate the culinary space from the dining room and sitting area.
Wood herringbone flooring is switched out for durable black tiles in the home entryway. A large planter pot buffers the sudden transition.
A home office space is set up for several people to use at once, facilitating business and homework.
A bespoke bookcase bridges the main workspace, whilst a double workspace is built into a bright spot below the home office windows. See more inspiration for double workspaces.
The bathroom is clad in a combination of small white tiles and large marble counterparts. A wood vanity unit and a pair of bathroom vanity lights warm the look.
A second bathroom is characterized by an attractive arched ceiling. Terracotta floor tiles warmly complement a wooden vanity cabinet.
In this smaller home design, light wood accents are combined with olive green elements to expand the earthy interludes. A gray modular sofa is set out in a two-sided arrangement. One side looks upon the TV, whilst the other forms a conversational setting along with a modern lounge chair.
The living room is devoid of area rugs, which leaves focus on the wooden floor treatment.
Two small side tables tuck around the edges of the couch.
The kitchen island features an olive green support column, which matches the kitchen base units.
The cooktop is located on the dining island, bringing the chef closer to their dinner guests.
A wide column of color is formed by a wall of green kitchen units and a green-paneled bathroom block.
A textured backsplash wall builds interest at the back of the open plan living space.
The raised floor area that leads into the bathroom is clad in tiny green mosaic tiles, providing playful definition from the rest of the apartment. Modern wall sconces illuminate the windowless area.
A curved wall creates a cozy cocoon around the home entryway. A unique full-length mirror stands next to the front door.
LED strips highlight the raised floor area for both safety and aesthetics.
A matching globe floor lamp illuminates the opposite side of the room.
Green tiles floor the entry into a vanity area and an ensuite bathroom.
A wood slatted door separates the bedroom vanity area from a private shower zone and WC.
A luxurious white marble basin overhangs the edge of a modern wooden vanity unit.
The second double bedroom in the apartment is colored by a green upholstered headboard and a matching throw.
A wall mounted desk creates a bedroom workspace that doubles as a dressing table. A small table lamp provides focussed task lighting. See more ideas for unique table lamps.
The final double bedroom in the apartment receives an unexpected splash of red.
The red desk chair coordinates with red framework on the modern desk design.
A spacious white bathroom is furnished with a floating wood vanity unit. A racetrack-shaped bathtub sets out a smooth silhouette.

This comfortable minimalist interior is a haven of calm with pure, warm white walls, matching plush furniture, and soft floor coverings. Visualized by Z Vision, this home design is large and luxurious whilst retaining a serenely laconic and pared-back scheme. The living space is an inviting open concept with an impressive double-height void. Towering windows fill the space with natural light that gently diffuses through sheer white voiles. A modernly styled Asian tea room dips below the mezzanine level, though it still boasts a generous ceiling height above its stunning travertine table. The home also features a remarkable cinema room with a star-like light installation, and a cute balcony full of adventure for the homeowners’ cat.
The double-height living room is both impressive and comforting in its generous dimensions and peaceful color scheme. The sofa is situated in the brightest spot, stretched out between massive dual-aspect windows. The tea room nestles cozily underneath the overhanging mezzanine.
A round rug helps to zone the main living space from the open-plan tea room. A modern lounge chair and a unique bench seat edge the area rug, alongside the curved couch. The TV wall stands opposite, with decorative log storage tucked in its base.
A round glass coffee table adds natural wood tone to the center of the white living room with spherical walnut feet. On top of the table, an ornamental ring echoes its outline. A stack of coffee table books provides more casual adornment.
The log storage nook is clad with travertine that subtly warms the white home interior, and complements the light wood tone floor.
A ceiling-mounted fireplace descends from the underside of the mezzanine floor. In this position, it warms both the lounge area and the adjacent tea room. Behind the tea table, LED strips strike a warm glow around a wall of storage cabinets. This feature is echoed in the mezzanine room above.
The minimalist kitchen is a U-shaped installation of units with a dining island at its core.
Four modern dining chairs add a sculptural element to the stark room.
A decorative bowl provides a textural dining table centerpiece.
The first minimalist bedroom design is fashioned with warm shades of white and slender black accents.
A circular light installation adds a unique feature to the simple room design.
The walk in wardrobe is a luxurious space filled with bespoke garment cabinets, drawers, shoe storage shelves, and custom-cut mirrors.
LED strips bring the closet to life.
The master bathroom is a generously sized space with an eye-catching stone bathroom sink and a fabulous half-moon vanity mirror. A ribbon of LED light accentuates the mirror’s widely curved edge.
A glass bathtub adds a warm hint of espresso to the space, softly illuminated in natural light from the floor-to-ceiling bathroom window.
In the shower enclosure, a rainfall shower head appears to extrude from the ceiling itself.
The second bedroom design conveys a more tailored approach, with a sleek wall of headboard paneling behind the platform bed. An orb bedside table lamp is set on a striking stone ledge, which bridges the gap between the bed and the dressing room.
The modern home office offers another wall of custom storage, which helps to keep the minimalist home free from clutter. Marble shelves cut through the center of the storage wall, applying a beautiful touch of luxe. A black desk has a commanding presence against the light backdrop.
In the modern kid’s room, a unique kid’s chair is shaped to look like a cozy porthole. For the first time in this home, a flash of green injects uplifting energy. A set of steps lead to platforms above the built-in chair and bed to increase play space in the room. See more ideas for kids’ beds.
The kid’s bathroom design is small and succinct. A floating vanity unit makes the floor space appear larger by keeping it clear. A wide vanity mirror increases the sense of space.
In the home theater, the light decor palette prevails with white walls and a white curved sofa design. A white projector camouflages into the ceiling color.
A round faux skylight glows above the curved sofa, whilst a galaxy of star-like spotlights shine beside the projector wall.
A round coffee table places a weighty black accent at the center of the room. The coffee table provides a visual anchor in the white space until the lights go down. Then, the black table fades away into the shadows rather than distracting from the movie.
The covered balcony is used as a haven for the feline members of the family. Stylish cat furniture is applied at each end of the small balcony to build a playroom and relaxation space.
A variety of open-sided and closed-in nooks are available to suit the cat’s moods and needs.
Modern landscaping includes clean white pebbles, stepping stones, and render, plus a majestic tree.
A garden statue appears to dance across a bridge above the water feature in the courtyard, illuminated by outdoor lamps.

Light and luxurious and full of exquisite detail, this modern home design is a high-end haven. Visualised by Idunic Studio, this elegant interior design unfolds under a delicate palette of pale greige and shades of white. The laconic colour story shapes spaces that are quietly confident, where design must come alive by originality of silhouette rather than hue. Luxury furniture pieces are joined by artistic interludes, classic wall panelling, chic lighting installations, and bespoke storage solutions. Traces of gold thread a warm metallic accent through the serene white and greige base, whilst hints of blue add the merest suggestion of pastel.
In the white and greige living room design, a large area rug quietens the acoustics of the large area. Two white sofas and a pair of elegant lounge chairs draw around the edge of the white rug to form a conversational arrangement.
A round white marble coffee table forms the core of the lounge layout, which reflects the circular silhouette of a beautiful white chandelier.
The living room chandelier reflects light from a series of windows that form a dual aspect view. Crisp white drapes frame each one, causing a deeply textural backdrop.
A small side table places a flash of metallic gold at each end of the sofa, which are complemented by chic gold wall sconces. Wall moulding adds a classic air to the decor scheme. Textile panels add a sumptuous element.
As an alternative to the overhead glow from the living room chandelier, several table lamps are placed around the room to make softer mood lighting.
Each sofa table stands on a gleaming gold base that ties in with the small side tables around the room.
The TV wall is framed by 3D relief panels that slide aside to reveal shelving behind them.
The modern white fireplace features a fashionably ribbed bronze firebox. Above it, an eye-catching gilded mirror gleams brightly.
The design object that adorns the white marble coffee table conveys two links of matching white stone with gilded banding.
More beautiful decorative items adorn a narrow shelving unit beside the fireplace. The ornaments are interspersed between books and a series of picture frames.
When the 3D relief panels are slid to conceal the TV screen from view, two beautiful, bespoke shelving units come to the forefront.
The two panels of relief art become a single entity, which forms an artistic backdrop behind a stylish bench seat.
A smaller piece of wall mounted 3D relief art is mounted on a neighbouring wall to extend the theme.
In the base of each storage unit, a set of drawers are faced with stunning white marble.
Decorative vases and bowls add gems of visual interest onto the shelves of the built-in units. Subtly patterned wallpaper makes a lightly dappled, tonal background that complements the elegant display pieces.
The master bedroom is a large and spacious suite with a generously proportioned lounge area. Two sofas face each other across the room.
The bed is teamed with an oversized wooden headboard design that incorporates two wall sconces. The sconces provide focussed reading light, whilst two unique bedside table lamps shed soft mood light.
Four framed canvases cross the top of the headboard, filling the space between two striking arched doorways.
Black bedside units float clear of the floor, further increasing the sense of space in the large room.
An enormous rug stretches from beneath the bed to encompass the entire bedroom lounge area. The rug provides a continuous plush feeling underfoot and softens sound.
The bedroom TV is mounted on a wood effect wall panel that defines it from the fireplace.
The sheep sculpture in the corner of the bedroom is inspired by François-Xavier Lalanne’s “Moutons de Laine”.
A glass coffee table brings a flourish of metallic gold to the blue and white bedroom decor scheme. Grey scatter cushions add dark contrast to the white sofas.
The grey sofa cushions are matched by a grey decorative candle on the coffee table. A small ceramic vase completes the dainty vignette.
A unique chandelier circles the bedroom ceiling. The curved sofas complement the chandelier’s round outline.
Elegant white wall lights flank an art wall. Framed abstract paintings are carefully propped on a floating white marble shelf. A decorative arched mirror design drops blush pink textile into the mix.
The bedroom rug brings cool hints of pastel blue into the decor scheme, as well as darker notes that tie in with the black and white bedroom fireplace design.
The home office has a splendidly sophisticated appearance, with prominent wall panelling, art, and tasteful furniture.
Home office storage is built into the room layout under finishes that perfectly match the wall panelling.
A lounge area is the main focus of the home office, creating a place for conversation and collaboration.
A notable TV wall is created with layered wall panels and moulding.
Two fabulous lounge chairs are arranged around the TV, where they add a twist of gold. A small side table sits between to receive drinks.
Two more side tables flank the sofa in the office. One holds a stunning stone table lamp with a unique geometric shade.
Cube-shaped wall sconces light up the perimeter of the room under mesmerising stone and satin gold finishes.
Each modern wall sconce is mounted at the centre of a wooden wall panel, where they softly illuminate the beautiful grain.

Calming white, pale grey, and soothing wood tone decor instils a sense of peace into these two Asian-inspired home designs. Wooden storage furniture is crafted around the perimeter of the interior to include decorative lattice sections, which give a stylistic nod to shoji screens. Rattan accents and wooden furniture pieces span both traditional and modern aesthetics that make a gentle tonal accompaniment for the natural timber elements. Each apartment design creates a spacious and welcoming abode with a minimalist yet warm approach. Lighting is soft and relaxing to ensure that nothing in the home is jarring nor dominant, so that everything flows in a serene balance.
In home design number one, the Asian influence is present from the get-go with a shoji-screen-inspired storage wall that stands as a focal point behind the living room couch.
The living room is a large and spacious design with a warm and welcoming appeal. The built-in wooden storage cabinets that trim the perimeter of the living room spread visual warmth and natural beauty.
A rustic coffee table brings the warm wood tone accent to the centre of the lounge layout. A clean white tufted sofa wraps around the wooden coffee table in an inviting L-shape that promotes interaction and conversation.
A large area rug holds the lounge furniture layout together on one light and textural island.
Intriguing ornaments, a collection of coffee table books, and a wooden fruit bowl attractively adorn the wooden coffee table with equally earthy tones.
A cushioned lounge chair rounds out the lounge furniture arrangement. Its white upholstery uniformly matches the modular sofa design and tones with the jute rug.
Opposite the tufted sofa, a large wooden media unit is recessed into the wall stucco. In contrast to the rest of the living room, the wall stucco in this area is tinted a soft shade of brown to create a warm focal point. Bookshelves flank each side of the wall-mounted TV to create an attractive border and visual balance.
The wall of wooden storage that draws around the back of the living room in an L-shape is actually the kitchen. Much of the kitchen is concealed behind flat-fronted wooden panels, leaving just the kitchen sink area open for immediate access.
A line of storage cupboards underlines the TV unit, providing neat hideaways for DVDs, gaming devices, and remote controls.
A tall living room floor lamp stands like an elegant paper lantern over in the corner of the room, where it gently chases away the shadows at dusk.
The rest of the lounge area is illuminated by directional track lights, which cut a thin black line across the ceiling. The edge-to-edge, floor-to-ceiling window is dressed with a translucent covering that allows natural daylight to filter into the living room whilst still providing a sense of privacy.
Recessed perimeter lights emit a pleasant glow around the edges of the living room, which allows the homeowners to create different atmospheric settings within their lighting plan. More books stack between the two lounge chairs in this book lovers’ living room.
An open doorway leads off the living room into the home entryway so that natural light may be shared between the lounge and the hallway. A built-in bench gives the homeowners somewhere to sit whilst putting on shoes.
Wood panelling matches the concealed kitchen to create an even run of wood tone across the living room entry.
A home workspace tucks tidily behind the sofa.
Wood flooring spans the entire open plan living space to maintain cohesivity, whilst the flooring in the hallway switches to a hard-wearing grey surface.
A rustic side table is teamed with decorative bowls and a small floor lamp to fashion an attractive vignette.
A side table fashioned from wooden crates accompanies the desk area, providing a home for more books and an indoor plant.
The desk is accessorised with a traditional table lamp.
Rattan doors conceal a stock of office supplies.
The second of our two featured home designs is an equally inviting residence, wrapped in natural wood tone cabinets.
A stem light draws attention to a plinth by the window.
In the centre of the lounge, a round coffee table sets down a wooden core. A modular gray sofa is arranged in a double-sided formation.
One side of the sofa looks upon an open bookcase and a bank of floating wooden cabinets to create a restful reading nook.
The opposite side of the sofa faces toward a drop-down projector screen.
The screen falls in front of a gallery wall, which gives the space an attractive focal point when the screen is retracted.
A light area rug gives the sofa area a soft anchor.
The living room draws around in an L-shape to adjoin the kitchen diner. A breakfast bar is crafted around a structural support column to create a positive out of a potential negative layout issue. Two wooden bar stools pull up alongside.
Three elegant pendant lights draw along the length of the bar. See more ideas for island lighting.
Behind the support column, the kitchen island is amalgamated with the dining table.
The master bedroom is a minimalist space with a bespoke wooden headboard design.
Slatted detailing gives the headboard a modern twist.
A small bedroom pendant light hangs above a floating bedside unit that appears to extrude from the wooden headboard.
Two facing walls of wardrobes create a dressing area.
A dressing table island makes good use of the wide space.

Located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this chic contemporary home interior project is entitled “Living Curve” in response to its elegantly arched ceiling shape and arched interior details. Designed by Pins Studio, a blanket of white drapes the entire interior to create a peaceful visual.

A white sectional sofa is aligned with the edge of a grey living room rug to fashion a lounge area within the open concept living space. A small side table and white knitted pouf expand upon the white furniture theme, whilst a wooden coffee table offers a visually warm contrast at the centre of the space.
A small indoor plant makes a simple coffee table centrepiece. An upholstered lounge chair rounds out the furniture arrangement in a tan colour that complements the wooden table.
Opposite the modern sofa, the tv wall decor is composed of slatted panels that not only look beautiful but help with the acoustics in the room too.
Greige drapes frame the living room windows, whilst sheer white voiles softly filter direct sunlight, offer privacy, and billow prettily in the breeze from the balcony. A modern white ceiling fan cools the living room from the inside. See more inspiration for unique ceiling fans.
A stunning white grand piano is housed at the back of the space. Minimalist art and a floor planter provide quiet decor for the piano room, leaving all eyes on the pianist.
The kitchen diner runs perpendicular to the lounge and piano areas to promote family interactions.
The dining table is smoothly integrated into the kitchen island, where its wooden table top is sandwiched beneath a thick marble slab. The kitchen sink looks out upon the living room so that the cook can chat with the family during food prep tasks.
A modern dining chandelier hangs low to the dining table. Black track lights cross the rest of the room, dispersing even illumination from directional heads.
The side of the kitchen island features a spectacular marble grain that paints an artistic essence. The marble island is matched by the kitchen backsplash on the neighbouring wall and a coordinating wall treatment by the entryway.
The gold kitchen tap is matched by a boiling water tap on the island, making hot beverages a breeze.
An attractive, black-framed archway marks the entryway into the home office/craft room, where the children of the family like to spend time whilst their parents cook.
A wine cooler is situated in the base of the kitchen island, within close proximity of the dining table.
Inside the home office, two workspaces are arranged side by side to encourage collaboration. See more double workspaces.
