A Minimalist Home: Earthy, Modern & Masculine

Concrete, stone, wood, metal, and glass. This modern home tells quite the story with its array of elements effortlessly mingling together. The smorgasbord of contrasting texture is a big part of what makes this house’s design so irresistible, but that’s not the only thing to love. From the spacious walk-in closets to the earthy tones highlighted by ambient lighting, every inch of this humble dwelling is a simplistic masterpiece. Visualized by Johny Mrazko and designed by Studioe, we commend these designers for creating a home that proves that minimalistic means less stuff, not less style!

Light and airy, this modern living room is brimming with an elegant charm. The mix of concrete, leather, and wood gives off a masculine vibe, but without the full-on man cave feel. We especially love the unexpected touches, like the unique floor lamp and the way the firewood is openly displayed to create a floor level work of art.

The low to the ground setup lends the contemporary white chairs an opportunity to pop in this modern meets rustic living room. The light brown chairs not only contrast in color, but material as well with their leather upholstery.

The open-concept dining room is graced with a table and chairs that contrast beautifully against the pale floors with their dark, rich tones. We’re sure those dining pendant lights would look stunning in many rooms, but they look especially fierce when paired with this simple dining room table.

Champagne or Cabernet? The elements of glass and wood are carried off on to the back wall to create built-in curio cabinets. The cabinets elegantly house wine glasses and champagne flutes, adding a certain sophistication to the room.

Dark hues can be a fickle to work with, but this black kitchen pulls it off effortlessly with its edgy, minimalist style.

Open sesame! The inside of the cupboards reveal a delightful contrast with their light wooden interiors. We can definitely imagine enjoying breakfast perched on top one of those ultra sleek kitchen bar stools.

A great view of the genius elemental combo in this home. The abundance of contrasting texture and hues make a bold impact that is overflowing with contemporary charm.

The unique wood accent wall infuses this room with a subtle motif, while the built-in lightning and wall sconces weave in a trickle of ambiance. And of course, we can’t miss the plush, oversized sectional. It looks like the perfect place to catch up on your favorite books or TV shows.

All style and no play, makes for a very dull home. Luckily, this house definitely doesn’t have that problem. Fitted with a large screen TV, surround sound, and a huge couch, there is plenty of room for fun in this rec room.

Pull down the projector screen to upsize your viewing experience. It’s even Mother of Dragons approved!

Whether you are unwinding in the king sized bed or relaxing on the gray chaise lounger, the industrious swing arm wall lamp will reach you. The unique design perched atop the black and white abstract art is an innovative addition to this modern bedroom.

From a different angle, we discover that this bedroom also has a master bathroom. The large, sliding door offers up some privacy, all while keeping the open-concept feel when it is not in use.

On the other side of the bedroom wall, we discover the walk-in closet flooded with natural and artificial light. Drawers, shelves, and a hanging bar are all harmoniously utilized to make this design stylishly practical.

The luxury soaker tub basking in nature’s glow bathes this peaceful bathroom in a hospitable warmth. The in floor lighting and wooden bath table only further the serene aesthetic. Who needs a getaway spa retreat when you have one right in your home!?

The modern bathroom vanity, reminiscent of the the black kitchen cupboards, beautifully contrasts against the lightly colored stone wall. The ceiling hung towel racks, which can be seen on both sides of this bathroom, truly embody the notion of unexpected elegance.

Another piece of black and white wall art can be seen dramatizing the entrance way. Parallel to it we discover the same stunning wooden accent wall found in the rec room. And at the end of the hallway? Storage heaven! An oversized closet with copious amounts of room for both shoes and outerwear.

Everything your entrance needs in one purposeful corner. Two ottomans, a full length mirror, and playful hooks make this the ideal place to get bundled up before heading out the door.

A good look at the closet and it’s even better than we imagined. Not only is it spacious, but it is fitted with wooden drawers and shelves that amplify its style and practicality.

Wooden cabinetry and neutral tones lend this room an earthy aura, all while the square vessel sink, wall-mounted toilet, and integrated lighting make sure it has a distinct, modern feel.

Turn around and we stumble upon a walk-in shower with a rain shower head. This bathroom is simple and functional, but does it with high style.

The wood and metal staircase design is on par with the rest of this home’s elemental pairings. Being able to view the curio cabinets from this side of the wall is unexpected, yet highly poignant.

The low cabinetry in this kid’s bedroom is great for staying organized, stashing away toys, and maintaining the clean, minimalist feel of a room. Overall, not much color has been used in this home, so the teal bed and yellow action figure really give this room a more youthful vibe.

Black shelving, a chunky wooden desk, and a flat file cabinet create this modern workspace. The perfect place to do homework or indulge in some computer time.

Another modern bathroom with flush mount cabinets, a walk-in shower, and a rain shower head. Not dissimilar from the other ones we have already explored in this home.

This color block ladder is a great example of dip dye decor. The design creates both visual interest and assists in tying it in with the modern vanity. We see that they added a hand towel rod beside the sink, but a ladder is also a wonderful way to hang towels for those bathrooms sans towel racks.

Blush, Black And White Decor In A Modern Family Apartment

Neutral decor is a safe and soft interior design solution, but to prevent neutrals from falling flat it’s beneficial to inject some darker notes too. This soft grey and white apartment has a decor scheme that does just that – by incorporating some bold black base notes the look is sharpened and given more weight. A few pastels come into play here too, as sparingly placed blue hued, biscuit and blush scatter cushions. The modern home, designed and visualised by Konst, also has a kid’s room that revels a little more in the pink to mauve colour spectrum. Bathrooms and connecting spaces are kept strictly monochrome and crisp.

The open plan living room holds two white sofas in an L-shaped formation around a nesting coffee table set. A grey modern accent chair sits opposite to complete the cosy lounge section of the room.

The black and white living room is peppered with subtle blue and biscuit coloured accent cushions over the two white sofas. Perimeter LEDs, a recessed track lighting system and modern wall sconces illuminate the adjacent walkway to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

A black arc floor lamp lights the centre of the lounge arrangement. The tv wall decor creates a focal point of monochrome geometric pattern, concealed media storage cupboards and display shelving units.

The living room dining room combo flows straight into the kitchen at the far end of the free-flowing space. Low hanging dining pendant lights visually anchor the eating area in its spot behind the couch, and to one side of the breakfasting kitchen. The glass top of the round dining table is perched on a sculptural white support column. Four simple grey dining chairs complete the ensemble.

A decorative ceiling light focuses over the lounge area.

Two hoop shaped pendant lights provide task lighting along the peninsula of the U-shaped kitchen, situated over the sink and breakfast bar. Two black bar stools equip the casual eating spot.

The master bedroom centres around a low slung black platform bed, dressed with soft blush coloured pillows and a grey throw. A grey bedroom chair accessorises the look, and is paired with a small side table to hold books, and an anglepoise floor reading lamp.

A white chevron area rug softens the look of the wood flooring in the bedroom. On the other side of the bed, sliding glass doors reveal a walk-in closet.

Chic bedroom pendant lights dangle over floating bedsides. LED strips around the edge of the platform bed create a levitation illusion.

At the foot of the bed, a wall mounted media unit below the tv runs directly beneath a floating vanity unit. The beautiful vanity chair seems to be a Kartell Masters chair style one.

The black and white bathroom is styled in hard edges and linear forms. A cube stool sits at a long slice of mirror, in front of a very cuboid bathtub. A hard edged toilet pan protrudes from a wall clad in tiny black rectangular tile. A monochrome striped rug dresses the room.

On the opposite wall of the bathroom, a linear modern bathroom vanity links with a bank of tall bathroom storage cabinets in two tones of grey.

A frameless shower screen contains the splash zone of an over-bath shower.

A black heated towel rail contrasts against a white tile wall.

Moving away from the adults quarters, a pink kids’ bed stands out against soft grey wallpaper with white polka dots in this girl’s room.

The kid’s decor incorporates a sheer bed curtain that is suspended from a slatted ceiling installation running the length of the bed. A pair of pendant lights and a trio of mauve paper ball decorations are also suspended from the unique ceiling feature to make the sleep space cute and cosy. A faux sheepskin rug warms the wood floor underfoot.

The opposite side of the kid’s bedroom has gloss white wardrobes that have been adorned with a personalised height chart decal. More kids’ wall decor spans the gap between a vanity area and a study.

A pastel pink chair sits at the kid’s study desk. Wooden house shaped shelves dress the worktop. Light pink drapes pool at the foot of two floor to ceiling windows.

The kids bathroom is decorated in a monochrome decor scheme to match the rest of the apartment, but a single baby pink hand towel sweetens the vanity area – bringing in just a hint of the kid’s bedroom colours.

The vanity unit itself is a black cabinet with a crisp white top and rectangular countertop basin. Chrome fixtures reflect the light, and settle subtly into the white surroundings.

Smooth white doors conceal generous storage space in the home’s hallway. A set of black shelves allow for a neat selection of decorative items to be displayed – just enough to take the plainness off the space.

A white gloss shoe cabinet and a modern umbrella rack inhabit the end of the hall, beneath a piece of modern art.

Black and white cube stools sit in front of a full length mirror by the front door.

A series of five small orb pendant lights twinkle over the little hallway seating area, making a special feature of a transient spot.

A closer look at the walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom suite – with the glass doors drawn all the way back.
