With the inability to move or remove the panel structures that segment this apartment, the challenge was on to arrange functional areas to best serve the new homeowners. Visualised by Viktoriia Aloshyna, the 35.3 square meter apartment features an entry hall with wardrobe, a kitchen and dining room, a compact bathroom and utility combo, and a living room that merges with the bedroom, main wardrobe, and a dressing table area. The interior is a pure white and light greige aesthetic with a soft and cosy vibe. Storage has been installed in every nook and cranny to maintain a clear and open appeal without visual noise or overwhelm.
We begin our tour of this cosy apartment in the living room, where soft greige walls, a small sofa, and a complementary upholstered stool build a calming colour base alongside crisp white elements. Framed wall art sets a warm visual anchor upon the sofa focal wall.
A black side table and a matching black floor lamp place dark contrast around one end of the sofa, where they fashion a comfortable and practical reading area. A small textured rug lays down a light pause upon the wood laminate flooring.
The window end of the living room switches function into a cozy bedroom nook. A solid white podium bed base serves to visually separate the bedroom area from the lounge and offers a large storage space too. Olive accent pillows and a matching throw add a muted splash of colour.
The podium bed and master wardrobe form a single cube that can be sectioned off behind a portiere curtain. The drape is sheer so that natural light from the window still falls upon the lounge when the bedroom is closed off.
A decorative vase adds a contrasting black accent to a white radiator cover under the window, where a sweet bird figurine peers out toward a city view.
An open shelving unit makes a decorative end to the run of white wardrobes in the bedroom cube. A minimalist book collection and a few understated candles lightly adorn the tower of shelves. A floating vanity table is tucked up alongside the bedroom cube to form a dressing area with a large mirror.
A small TV is wall-mounted beside the vanity area, where it can be viewed from both the sofa and the bed.
The custom-cut floor-to-ceiling vanity mirror boosts light and the perception of space in the small room.
The kitchen diner is isolated from the living room/bedroom, separated by the entry hall. The kitchen is a compact room and so plain white kitchen units have been utilised to help the space feel larger and brighter.
A small dining table tucks into the corner of the room beside the window. Modern white dining chairs with olive seat cushions seat two. A small dining table pendant light attractively anchors the mini dining set in place.
Open kitchen shelves provide the opportunity to add a little decor to the minimalist kitchen installation.
Black fixtures make stark contrast with the white cabinets in the small kitchen. A light grey countertop subtly shades the prep area.
Originally the apartment featured a very long balcony area. To make better use of this additional space, the outdoor balcony area was halved in favour of a new indoor part that can accommodate the young homeowners in all weathers.
In the ample home entryway, a tufted cube pouf sets a deep olive accent next to a mirrored wall. The seat and mirror make a useful dressing spot for slipping on shoes and making a last minute check on appearance before dashing out the door.
An LED strip light draws along the top edge of the custom-cut mirror to offer bright illumination where there are no windows.
The floor-to-ceiling mirror widens the look of the hallway on one side, whilst a small entryway shelf makes a handy location in which to put down keys and phones. A small lamp adds a soft glow to the shelf, which serves as a hallway nightlight after dark.
The enclosed balcony makes a cosy reading nook and functions as valuable storage space too. A hidden storage drawer tucks away into the deep base of the built-in reading chair, and shallow overhead cabinets extend all the way up to the ceiling line. Narrow shelves add a decorative element.
The remaining outdoor balcony serves the couple well in warmer weather. A set of modern outdoor chairs and a small side table fashion a great place to take coffee.
Vertical subway tiles clad the walls from the vanity backsplash to the shower wall. An ultra narrow towel heater and a fabric laundry basket squeeze into a tight nook in-between. A corner shower cubicle clears a walkway across the small bathroom whilst offering adequate space inside.
The bathroom doubles as a utility room, An olive green appliance housing unit contains the washer-dryer and neatly hides away laundry supplies above.
The 3D floor plan illustrates the new division of balcony space between outdoor and indoor use.
The outdoor balcony area is accessed via the new indoor section, where the door can be propped open to create a gentle breeze into the reading nook.

A sense of calm and tranquillity washes over all who enter this ethereal white abode. Visualised by Z Vision, this spacious and light-filled home interior features smoothly curved wall detailing and elegant archways. Storage furniture neatly wraps the curved contours of the living room, where lounge furniture is minimal and modern with soft silhouettes. White marble elements introduce moments of luxe, whilst natural wood tone accents instil a gentle visual warmth. Intriguing lighting installations wrap the edges of doorways and shelves to create highlights and an atmospheric glow inside the master bedroom design. Slatted wall panels add eye-catching texture to a chic and welcoming modern bathroom.
The living room is a peaceful white space with calming contours. Elegant arched doorways melt into curvaceous edge detail under soft white stucco. A huge edge-to-edge, floor-to-ceiling window floods the large living room with natural light and opens up a view of the city via a balcony.
The archway motif inspires other curvaceous elements in the room design, like the rounded living room floor lamp and a modern coffee table design. A soft, upholstered sofa melds tonally with the pale wall stucco.
A large area rug holds the minimalist lounge layout together on a pale greige platform. At one corner of the rug, a wooden bookstand meekly rounds out the arrangement.
A marble side table adds a small dark anchor by the side of the contrasting pale sofa, which ties in with the black coffee table finish.
The accent lounge chair adds a beat of yellow ochre to the otherwise neutral home interior. Situated by the bright window, the cushiony chair makes a comfortable reading nook.
The open plan lounge area flows seamlessly into the dining room and on into the kitchen area. A paper dining room pendant light emulates the shape of the fluted wooden pedestal table stand to make a cohesive pairing. A wet bar serves the dining area under a crisp white and luxe marble finish.
Curved bolster walls house kitchen appliances and visually separate the open plan dining room from the long white galley kitchen.
Back on the dining room wet bar, a fluted carafe is kept on hand to fill matching glass tumblers for the table.
The round dining table top is a marble finish to complement the white marble backsplash in the kitchen. A black extractor unit cuts down through the stark white kitchen backdrop to create a solid moment of contrast.
The kitchen units are trimmed with a curved border that creates a gentle arch over the kitchen hob area, creating a modern vignette.
An arched doorway leads off the living room into a minimalist home office space. A wide white marble panel fashions a luxurious focal wall, which is brightly accentuated by the glow of two long illuminated wall shelves. A row of office storage cabinets is lifted off the floor to maintain the fuss-free aesthetic.
Minimal decor adorns the wall shelves, leaving the marble vein to provide all of the interest. A modern desk stands out in front, in a soothing light wood grain. Wooden stools furnish one side of the minimalist desk, while a curvaceous desk chair pulls up in command.
Inside the master bedroom, a channel tufted upholstered bed is paired with a bespoke headboard design, which is brightly outlined by a thin ribbon of LED light. To the left of the headboard, an arch-shaped shelving unit is built into a run of white wardrobes in a contrasting finish. The doorway that lies within the dressing area is picked out by a razor-sharp halo of LED light.
The bedside unit is a custom-made piece that is designed to navigate around a structural support column. On the side furthest away from the bed, the wall mounted unit becomes a handy bookshelf for nighttime reading material.
A marble panel decorates the wall behind the floating bedside unit, which matches a small marble bedside table at the opposite edge of the headboard.
At the foot of the bed, a floating desk touches lightly upon a chest of drawers at one end.
Illuminated bookshelves decorate the wall above the bedroom workspace, which can work double duty as a dressing table.
Decorative stone panels back the bedroom workspace to create an attractive, high-end focal wall. A unique stool tucks underneath the desk, where it introduces a fashionable fluted texture.
The playful orange accent chair beside the window is the Seung Jin Yang Blowing chair, constructed from party balloons and a hard resin coating. A unique linear wall lamp stretches down the wall beside the chair to make a practical reading nook.
The bathroom is a clean white space with a chic minimalistic essence.
A tower shelving unit beside the bathtub introduces a slice of warm apricot, whilst the marble bathroom vanity unit stands out with a busy black vein. The shelving unit holds an array of toiletries within easy reach of both the tub and the shower area.
Slatted wall panels introduce texture between smooth counterparts, adding just a sliver of visual interest that is doubled in the bathroom vanity mirror.
A black-framed shower screen separates the sink area from the wet zone, which includes the freestanding bathtub beside the window.
Black shower fixtures and a rainfall showerhead make bold contrast against the soft white bathroom wall treatment.

Unique furniture designs add stylish wow factor turn after turn inside these two unusual minimalist home designs. Visualised by Indifference Studio, each attention-grabbing interior is styled upon a simple, pure white base that allows the more prominent pieces to proudly sing out. The designer furniture pieces take on a sculptural appeal within the gallerylike surroundings, which instils a feeling of reverence toward the extraordinary creations. With the perimeter decor taking a back seat, the eye is able to fall upon small detailing, unusual finishes, and quality workmanship. Come with us as we tour remarkable lounges, show-stopping dining rooms, minimalist bedrooms, and beautiful bathrooms.
White walls, ceiling and floor make a reflective box in which natural light is maximised. Fitted white storage cabinets continue the pure, gallery-white theme along the entire length of a TV wall in the lounge. Their handle-free, slab-fronted finish melds peacefully with the understated minimalist backdrop.
A unique, triangular floor lamp sets a cosy glow alongside the living room sofa, whilst LED ribbons paint soft perimeter light along the ceiling line.
The upholstery of the white, tufted sofa blends into the wall decor but an unusual hot red framework adds bolts of bright contrast along its base. A small side table places a moment of luxurious white marble by the arm of the couch to hold drinks but not clutter.
A white, vertical radiator fits neatly down the side of the wide living room window, adding a textural accent.
A white marble coffee table is centred in the lounge space, like a monolithic blank plinth awaiting a piece of artwork.
Matching the sofa, a modern lounge chair is adorned with red framework, which cuts vividly through the pale room palette.
In contrast to the hot red accents in the lounge area, the neighbouring dining space is cooled with blue wall art.
The blue artwork is centred above a modern dining set that sports an all-white finish.
Smooth curves shape inviting dining chairs and a modern dining table.
Marble slabs and fluted glass make up a chic partition wall between the dining room and a hallway that leads to the bedrooms and bathroom. An entryway bench is fashioned here to create a handy perch/bag shelf by the front door.
A razor-thin strip of light draws a halo around the portal to the hallway.
The halo creates an optical illusion, in that it resembles a mirror’s edge. However, the illusion is shattered by a modern wall sconce that threads from the hallway to the living space.
Inside the minimalist master bedroom, the pure white decor scheme continues.
A modern bedside unit places prominent ribbed texture against the smooth white headboard design. A deep storage drawer keeps the top of the unit entirely free from clutter; only a minimalist bedside lamp is permitted.
A wall of glass bricks share natural light from the bedroom window with the neighbouring bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, a modern linear vanity unit draws across the base of the glass brick partition wall.
The second bedroom gains subtle shading from a grey upholstered bed and a geometric rug design.
Beechwood bedside units are wall-mounted to keep the floor clear and spacious.
The living room of this home design is dominated by an extraordinary neon green sofa that knots and twists across a plain white large area rug.
On the opposite side of the large area rug, a stylish tan leather lounge chair offers a comfortable reading nook.
A small side table pulls up subtly alongside the sofa, whilst a large black coffee table commands out in front.
Black and white photographic art adds interest to the clean white living room walls.
Behind the sofa, a few decorative items dot the top of a white sideboard.
The TV wall sports a textured black finish that complements a stylish Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A9 speaker. Unique black and white poufs boldly pattern the lounge layout.
A decorative vase, candles, and a record player pull black decor accents onto the white sideboard.
The white kitchen is largely concealed behind floor-to-ceiling cabinet doors.
A white kitchen island stretches out in front, holding the sink and the hob.
In front of the kitchen island, a white dining room decor scheme comes alive with elements of natural wood tone and swirling black pattern.
The upholstered dining chairs perfectly match the design of the patterned poufs in the open concept lounge.
A simple glass vase and a sprig of greenery provide a minimalist dining table centrepiece.
As we glance into the bathroom, we discover a unique stool design, wherein a rustic wooden stool is encased within clear perspex.
Modern artwork echoes the curvaceous silhouette of the rug design.
A white bedside unit contrasts sharply against the black tufted headboard design. A strip of LEDs highlight the edge of the black headboard against the white wall, elevating the high-contrast aesthetic.
Bedtime reading is stored on a sleek white sideboard that offers a balanced combination of display shelves and concealed storage.
The bathtub area is accessorised with a small round bathroom rug and a convenient robe hook. Built-in storage units stow away fresh towels and extra toiletries.

Blending clean white decor accents with warm wooden elements creates soothing and serene home interiors that quiet the mind and soothe the soul.

We’ve sourced two inspirational home tours that we think hit the balance between tranquil and impactful just right. Join us as we wander through chic white and wood lounges, impressive dining rooms, elegant kitchen installations, and peaceful bedroom designs with standout style. We’ll discover creative contrasts between fresh white furniture and wood slatted feature walls, rounded wooden wall panels that create flow, and high-end home styling ideas.
Chequerboard pattern makes a high-contrast statement across the living room of our first featured home design. A modular sofa lays fresh white upholstery on top, alongside matching white ottomans and crisp white coffee tables.
The large area rug holds the fragmented furniture items together as one cohesive lounge layout.
A tartan throw lays tonal contrast onto the plain, light sofa upholstery to create added interest.
The base of the square coffee tables are designed to store books and extra throws, which leave the surface clear for drinks and snacks, or more decorative items like candle holders.
A wooden bench rounds out the seating arrangement and serves as a subtle visual stop between the main lounge and a second seating area. A modern fireplace forms a cosy focal point for the room.
The second seating area makes use of a wide walkway that leads to the bedroom.
A pair of large pendant light shades give the small seating area elevated status.
Sliding wood slatted doors allow the bedroom to be joined with the mini lounge area. The light-permeable door design also allows natural daylight from the living space to be shared with the windowless bedroom location.

Fresh, clean, airy and spacious, a white decor scheme achieves all of these desirable aesthetics but can sometimes project a cold and sterile environment. With that said, there are plenty of ways in which to offset the coolness of the clean white colour palette, and these two inspirational home interiors demonstrate one of the most subtle approaches to the task. In order to gently warm the look without compromising the minimalist mood, these white interior designs incorporate areas of light wood tone and a delicate blend of beige accents. Dainty black anchor points weight the breezy white decor palette in tiny doses, just enough to sharpen and define.
Measuring 140 square metres, this modern apartment in Chisinau, Moldova, features a white interior with industrial-style concrete statement walls. A modular sofa threads a warming beige accent through the centre of the open plan living space. Wood effect kitchen cabinets match the mellow hue.
Opposite the modern sofa, a TV wall is clad with attractive wood grain panelling to increase the visual temperature, and to neatly conceal media storage.
A luxurious white marble backsplash builds a half-height room divider between the living room sofa and a kitchen peninsula. A linear suspension light draws an even line of illumination along the kitchen countertop and provides reading light to the couch at the same time.
The pure white kitchen comes to an abrupt stop at a bold, raw concrete statement wall. A black shelving unit and black appliances add visual weight to the spacious white room.
The layout flows openly into the first bedroom.
A whisper of grey plays across the upholstered bed, which draws a colour connection with the raw concrete wall treatment. A modern wall light strikes a strong black line against a white headboard wall framed with traditional panel beading.
There is a portiere to give privacy to the bedroom when desired.
A low, linear bedside table lays subtly upon the oak floor boards.
Heavy drapes add an exaggerated sense of comfort into the cool bedroom design scheme.
The second bedroom in the apartment is lined with beautiful wood slatted wall panels.
The textured wall panels also provide a practical function, in that they provide acoustic value in the bedroom’s second role as a piano room.
In the third double bedroom, a yellow 4 poster bed hits like a beam of sunshine into the surrounding white and grey decor scheme.
Bespoke storage cabinets float above the bedside unit in a clean white finish.
Smooth grey wet walls in the shower area provide peaceful contrast with modern matt white shower fixtures.
The grey wall treatment flows around onto the adjacent wall, where a simple white wall hung toilet and bidet set are coordinated with a white vertical radiator
In the second of our two white interior designs, a wooden coffee table provides pleasing visual warmth.
A black and white woven area rug adds visual weight underneath the wood table.
Beige ceramic bud vases arch across the tabletop.
Across the room, a modern media unit stripes a moment of wood tone across the TV wall. The contemporary little lamp on the console is the Ware table lamp by MSDS Studio for New Works.
The living space flows directly into a wide hallway that leads to the home entryway.
Built-in units stow away coats and bags
Beige drapes fall in luxurious folds at the dining room window.
A black console table, unique pendant light, and monochrome artwork fashion a smart vignette against a clean white entryway wall.
The slender light stems drip brief contrast around a white upholstered bed and a plain white headboard wall.
A floor lamp matches with the stark black finish of the bedside pendant lights, and provides task light over a home workspace.
In the bedroom entryway, a full length mirror increases the sense of space
A black bedside table stands at each side of the room, complemented by a black and white area rug beneath the bed.
The walk-in wardrobe is a cosy cocoon of wooden closet units.
Wood slatted panels texture the bathroom vanity area, adding a honey coloured hue behind a clean white basin and a black bathroom mirror.
The wood slatted wall treatment returns in the shower room, behind another racetrack-shaped vanity mirror and a unique pedestal sink.
