Apartment Therapy

A tone-on-tone colour scheme coupled with mirrored panels magnifies natural light and space in this cosy apartment, Client Brief: They asked for a minimalist-style home that has a tinge of international flavour to it. To make the house look bigger and brighter, we played with different textures and shades of white throughout the house. We further maximised the space by concealing storage in custom-built furniture, as well as making key design changes, such as replacing a solid wall in the living area with full-length mirrored shutters to amplify natural light.
Given that it is a city home, few people would opt for a minimalist decor. However, the young couple was clear that they wanted a space that was uplifting and had a white-and-grey colour palette.”
An example of unique design solutions used in this space is the hemispherical table made from Corian with a teak veneer top. Instead of lining the walls with cabinets, which would defeat the minimalist look, we created innovative storage, like that inside the centre table. we had to think of smarter ways to incorporate storage that didn’t look heavy on the eye and which was stylish at the same time
Apart from a few accent pieces and the bedroom essentials, the space is kept spartan. The only art showcased is what the owners have picked up on their travels.
