Four Different Decor Schemes On A Crisp White Base

We are taking a look at a collection of four modern decor schemes today, which are each built upon a clean and crisp white base. Our first tour takes us around a monochrome setting that is given lift by a small sprinkling of elegant gold accessories. The second stop we make is in a fresh apartment that is dashed with zesty lime green features. The third home on the list is a design that has been inspired by the beauty of nature and all natural tones. Finally we take a walk through a home that is defined by dark hued accent pieces in teal, red, and rich shades of brown.


Designer: LOFT Magdalena Adamus  

A metal coffee table set introduces small slivers of gold into our first white based home decor scheme; the black and white pair also create contrast in the centre of the space. At the side of the open plan living room, two custom fit wooden cabinets bring warm rich tone to the alcoves on either side of a white chimney breast.




There is a modern sofa on each side of the lounge, facing each other in a conversational arrangement. Scatter cushions bring texture to the designer duo.




The white coffee table has a marble top that adds to the air of luxury in the room.




A linear suspension lamp hangs in the white dining room above a simple table design. Light grey comfortable dining chairs with arms gather around the rectangular table. A modern dresser provides a dark backdrop to the scene.




A white galley kitchen runs the width of the living room. Branches in glass vases decorate a crisp white cooking peninsula. A glass door, which leads out to a terrace, fills the modern kitchen with bright natural light that bounces off the glossy white cabinet fronts.




Sheer grey drapes draw across the glass doors by the lounge space.




The same curtain style is repeated inside the master bedroom. A cool monochrome striped pouf sits by the window along with a couple of decorative items. Black and gold accent cushions line up along the headboard.




Black bathroom vanity lighting descends over a white linear vanity unit. Stone tiles provide a textured backdrop.

Next up, this 48 square metre soft white interior holds a surprising accent colour…




… Lime green accents liven up this blank canvas, like these acidic kitchen cabinet doors. A white dining area sits by the green and white kitchen, featuring a chunky column dining table and a Drop chair duo.




A white swing arm wall lamp provides illumination over the round dining table.




More Drop chairs appear at double workspaces situated just outside of the master bedroom.




A pocket door can be pulled shut between the home office and the bedroom when required.




There is a cosy reading nook by a window, made up by a small wooden table, a neat black floor reading lamp, and a white accent chair. See more comfortable reading chairs here.




The white bedroom is furnished with built-in closets and wall cupboards–and a child’s bed as well as the double. The kid’s bed is situated in a nook with a curtain available to pull across at nap time.




When the double bed is not in use, it can be folded away into the closet niche to make more space for play.




One white kid’s chair sits by the junior daybed.




A slice of lime green adds interest to a white bathroom.




Single bed floor plan, featuring Murphy bed and cosleeping arrangement.



Visualizer: Mariia Borysova  

Our third tour takes place in a home filled with indoor plants, botanical art and natural tones.




Cut logs add to the natural decor elements in the home, stacked tall to fuel a modern log burning fire.




The dining pendant light design complements the organic leaf silhouettes that fill the home. White dining chairs gather around a beautiful timber dining table.




The kitchen runs alongside the white dining room, in sleek white units.




A modern staircase design runs straight off the airy open plan room.




A white chimney cooker hood hangs quietly over the kitchen peninsula. An integrated wine cooler is tucked into the end of the cabinet run.




The minimalist kitchen almost disappears in the white room scheme.




Wooden accents pepper the white built-in storage solutions.



Visualizer: Mohamed Mousa  

Our fourth tour is a 135 square metre home that has a collection of white based rooms with deep coloured accent pieces, like the teal seating in this minimalist living room.




A striped rug provides interest in the simple arrangement.




Wall art makes a splash of colour in this lounge area in the dining room.




Black dining room pendant lights match with a black dining table and chairs.




The L-shaped kitchen features dark chocolate brown cabinets, topped with white linear wall tiles.




The wall tiles continue all the way up to the ceiling.




A floating shelf underlines a white framed mirror at the end of an all white hallway.




Bold red closets make a surprising addition to white bedroom decor.




A red dressing table and drawers match the closets. A black modern wall sconce accessorises each side of the white bed.




The second minimalist bedroom is calmer in colour.




Shades of taupe contrast with the white backdrop in here; pale taupe curtains pool at the window and a darker shade colours the upholstery on the platform bed.




The minimalist bathroom is a monochrome affair.




Two bed floor plan.

A Studio Loft Which Is A Home And Art Gallery

Located on a quiet street that is parallel to a busy boulevard in Alsancak, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods of Izmir, Turkey, stands an unusual interior conversion. Originally the brief called for the ground and upper floor of this building (which is part of a five story block of flats) to be made into a dedicated photo studio only. During the course of the design process, the client and architect teams Zaas, and Yerce, reimagined the space and agreed that this could go beyond being just a studio. The end result is a unique place that encompasses a home, a professional photo studio, and a public art gallery.



Located right at the back of the first floor, there lies a private living area. A ceiling tv mount allows a flat screen television to be suspended in front of the window glass, which has a view out onto the quiet street.




A double workspace also resides inside the living room, with the desk pushed up against an internal glass wall, looking out. A trio of floating wall shelves hold some books and pictures.




An unusual feature wall lines the opposite side of the living room, behind a run of white base units. Ambient lighting glows from behind the cabinets to illuminate the installation.




The residential first floor is reached via a floating staircase design from the photographic studio and gallery space. Each step is a metal 3D parallelogram frame, mounted individually to the studio wall to form the ascent to the mezzanine platform. The modern handrail design is lit by LED strip lights.




Just beneath the lip of the mezzanine, a guest reception desk is situated by a small storage wall with a bright yellow niche. A black accent chair rocks in the centre of the studio space on the ground floor, offering a spot to relax between photo shoots.




A small side table, beside the black and wood lounge chair, provides a spot to put down a mug of coffee during work breaks – or even to burn a relaxing candle on. The chair and its partner are positioned toward the view of the peaceful street, seen through huge black framed glass doors.




A grey gallery wall jags around the opposite side of the studio to the staircase. Perimeter lighting beams along its upper and lower edge. A work table is set up behind the guest reception desk, in front of a kitchenette and the door to the gallery’s bathroom.




Just beyond the landing at the top of the floating staircase, there is a relaxation area with a flickering modern fireplace and two comfortable contemporary armchairs. At design stage, the question was raised as to how a simple department could be transformed into a multifunctional area where different functions and settings for life could coexist. Solutions were sought to establish permeability within these functions, to create free flow between use and life.




The first floor landing joins with industrial style platform, which is a walkway to a home library area. Because one of the main objectives of the remodel was to maximise creative space for a photo studio, the mezzanine and first floor are designed to serve as extra space for photographic shoots if desired. The functions of working, living, exhibiting all intertwined under the roof of a photographic studio come together to fashion a ‘loft’ kind of lifestyle.




A chunky stone hearth underlines the modern fireplace in the relaxation area. The hearth is dressed with a grouping of clear decorative vases that catch the light from the flames.




Moving past the fireplace, large windows line the wall of a kitchen dining area, in which an island that combines both cooking and dining functions is centric.




A shining chrome cooker hood crowns the kitchen island with dining extension. A stainless steel sink is located in the middle of the island’s wooden worktop.




Sliding doors open the kitchen up to a terrace, which runs the length of the kitchen diner and relaxation space.




A jungle of plants line the long terrace.




Just off the mezzanine, a modern home office setup resides in its own private room.




The private bathroom is accessed via the bedroom.




Guest cloakroom facilities, on the gallery floor, have an edgy industrial vibe.




Bifold glass doors open up the entire front of the building. Visitors of busy exhibition openings can overflow out to the street foyer, on a wide sidewalk that belongs to the city and the department.




When an exhibition can flow freely between interior space and the street, potential visitors of the exhibition may pass by and peruse without filter. The area becomes a social platform where people can mingle in the comfort of the open air street, instead of being boxed inside the covered gallery.




The clever design configuration has resulted in the ultimate balance between separation and mingling of functions. The result is a fun space that can be open to the public, yet still offer the necessary privacy where it is needed.
