Funky Modern Interior with Natural Accents And Geometric Decor

Life, energy and vitality; this modern interior design visualised by Zarysy exudes them all. A vivacious colour scheme takes inspiration from the beautifully up-close views of nature, which is just about tapping against the outside of the window panes with its outstretched branches. The uplifting green, blue, yellow and wood tone colour palette is teamed with unabashed geometric styling across area rugs in each room, contemporary pendant lighting, geo floor tiles and unique wall decorations. The home, an area of 52 square metres in Warsaw, also holds a whole host of book shelving ideas that stash tomes in just about every nook and cranny the home has to offer.



An inviting open plan living room awaits, filled with natural light from large windows. A deep window seat runs the length of the treetop view, wide enough to lounge on and stay a while – perhaps with one of those books opportunely stored beneath.




In fact, this is a perfect living room for a book lover, with even more volumes stacked up and over the window frames, in a cosy wooden surround. A neat wall sconce is mounted in the resulting nook, to light the pages as nighttime falls.




A unique end table situated between the sofa and the reading nook provides an opportune place for perching a steamy cup of tea or cocoa, to be enjoyed whilst soaking up the outside view or the words from the pages. A geometric wall decoration displays photographs above the modern sofa.




A simple central coffee table sits atop a bold geo rug in a monochrome colour way. The seating in the room is also in shades of grey to balance out the brighter elements in the room.




Two accent chairs are upholstered in lush leaf-green fabric, beside a smooth grey television console unit.




The coffee tables are matched by a long wooden console unit on the opposite side to the window seat. A selection of wall shelves, three short and two long, are fixed above it in an undulating formation for displaying more books and knick-knacks.




A duo of large white pendant lights hang low over the centre of the lounge.




Two black wire framed dining room pendant lights illuminate a table for four.




Aqua blue is the accent colour of choice in the eating area, where blue dining chair cushions are matched by coated table legs.




Also in black wirework, a geometric wall decoration above the table end matches the one seen over in the lounge, giving the two areas some common design ground despite the alternate colour scheme. A large botanical themed print adorns the opposite wall to the geo mural to draw a little natural green tone in from the sitting area and the great view.




Behind the eating area, a change in flooring visually marks out a hallway. In this hallway, a bespoke build of bookshelves has been fitted along the length and full height of the space. The installation is designed as three columns that fit between and either side of two internal doors.




The floor of the home entryway is covered in an eye-catching aqua, taupe and white geometric pattern tile. The front door is finished in black; the walls around it and ceiling above it are painted a solid warm grey to give the small spot it’s own separate sense of space.




A built-in seat furnishes one side of the home entryway, with a seat cushion upholstered in a light aqua fabric. The seating nook is lined in solid yellow in contrast.




The nook is backed by a mirror over its entire height, making the feature appear as though it stretches further back into the wall than is physically possible. A trendy exposed bulb pendant light brightens the narrow space.




The kitchen backsplash introduces another stripe of cool aqua to the decor scheme, illuminated at its upper edge by a strip of white LED lighting. Connecting kitchen cabinets provide a yellow hue in their wood tone.




The upper cupboards are charcoal in contrast, as are the drawers of a central kitchen island that sits beneath three large matching kitchen pendant lights. A sprig of greenery is found at the end of the generously sized island, in a set of three indoor herb planters. The planters bring a little hint of nature indoors from what’s seen beyond the windows at the same end of the room.




A light floor keeps the look airy in the black, white and wood themed kitchen. A smooth white surround hugs the floating island, which reaches higher than the worktop. The surround creates a taller mounting wall for the flat screen television bracket in the lounge; it also shields the living room from an undesirable view of potential kitchen messes, and protects from food splashes.




In the master bedroom, two black anglepoise bedside table lamps sit atop wooden drawers units.




Another geometric rug is laid beneath the bed, in shades of grey to match the completely upholstered headboard feature wall. A yellow knitted throw matches yellow wood tone.




Light aqua wardrobes add a breezy note to the grey and wood tone bedroom scheme. Two planters of grasses by the window bring in greenery.




At the foot of the double bed, a simple home office setup sits below a bank of wall shelves. A wooden chair matches the wooden desk.

Colourful Interiors With Connection: Green, Coral, Blue And Yellow Decor

It’s easy to go all out with colour in our homes. We pick a few shades and boom! There it is; a cheerful concoction of paintwork, furniture and accessories. If we can stick to only a few hues then it might come out pretty cohesive, but are there any tricks for stylishly connecting the whole look together? Can you walk a colour story all the way through each and every room of an apartment without things becoming samey and predictable? You betcha there is, and we’ve got three gorgeous home tours that show us how to do exactly that, using shades of botanical green, blue, coral and occasional pops of yellow.


Visualizer: Trang Le  

Our first gloriously colourful home incorporates coral and yellow elements along with a summery botanical theme. Plant themed art prints make a gallery wall above a coral sofa scattered with mint and lemon pillows. Living indoor plants bring the theme to life, like this bushy Fiddle Leaf Fig. The wild palette is made earthy by the introduction of a beige panelled feature wall, area rug and cushions.




This cosy mid century modern look has plenty of wood tone at play. Only a slatted dividing wall separates the lounge from the kitchen so the colour story carries right on through.




In the kitchen, a coral coloured SMEG fridge fills an alcove next to matching patterned tiles. All shelving is wooden, as is the breakfast bar that has been finished off with a Swiss Cheese Plant.




Mint and yellow kitchen stools brighten up the dining area, bringing the hues through from the lounge. A couple of opportunely placed matching dishes complete the look.

Our second home tour is a 67 square metre apartment with splashes of blue and turquoise in the lounge.




A quirky plant wall mural creates a focal point on the far wall, growing out from behind a set of white backless shelves. A neighbouring green door and doorframe carry the accent colour along.




Blue paintwork has been applied at half height along the TV wall, implementing a splash of colour without going the whole hog. The cool blue forms a backdrop for a gold floor lamp, and strong monochrome wall art adds a base note to the breezy look.




The lounge leads straight into a dining area and on to a sleep space. In the dining room, one side of the table has a small banquet bench seat in lieu of more chairs to save space. The table legs are dipped in coral paint. A small dining pendant light illuminates the eating surface, and a simplistic mural of a house is applied behind it.




A slice of blue runs off the quaint house mural, cutting all the way up through the platform bedroom. The blue colour backs a small study area situated beneath the high bed, helping it appear as its own mini room.




The half height blue stripe seen behind the TV carries around into the kitchen, where we find further doors and door frames painted in the green treatment. Kickboards have been kept white in contrast.




A set of floating shelves up one kitchen wall are all white except for one blue standout.




The utility area is comprised of neat wooden cubbies.




A bespoke platform bed contains drawer storage space beneath it, with cabinets situated below a window at the foot end. A single bright yellow shelf and chair add zing.




Botanical art and coral coloured pillows subtly carry hues through from the living room.




The other elements in the room are white, wood tone and natural.




The closets have a minimalist facia.




Another take on the same bedroom layout using the same platform bed design. This time the bedroom scheme has a much stronger botanical influence. Green paintwork tapers away from a solid feature wall as a geometric design behind the unique bed. The floating shelf matches the shade exactly.




This double bedroom decor scheme mixes green and soft grey.




The small space between the foot of the bed and the closets has been utilised to fit a tiny dressing table.




An inlay of green appears in the front of the white closet.




A modern bathroom vanity is wall hung beneath green metro tiles, above a floor of geometric black tiles.




The geo look is splashed across a cloakroom in a dazzling monochromatic design.

A blue living room awaits us in home design number three.




The crisp shade continues into the kitchen diner.




Two blue framed chairs and two white chairs surround a small dining table, all nestled beneath two natural coloured dining pendant lights.




A blue shelving unit acts as a pleasant visual stop after a run of white units and a plain white wall.




Pastel blue kitchen units make a sweet statement.




The home entryway in this tiny apartment has been defined with a covering of monochrome pattern floor tiles, which sing out against the smooth wood covering over the rest of the open area. A smart selection of units, wall hooks and a storage bench seat equip the area.




The bedroom continues the use of blue accents but with a much stronger punch. Deep green, yellow ochre and warm terracotta join to make high contrast.




A dressing table stool matches the hue of the bed throw.




This house shaped shelving unit provides opportunity for introducing more splashes of colour, in shelf inlays and over cupboard doors.




A floating seat on the balcony holds a couple of colourful scatter cushions, taking the decor scheme all the way outside. A few rattan planters bring out some of the more natural elements too.




The utility is clean and white.




The bathroom is a blue and green scene, connecting with the other rooms.




The kids’ decor utilises blue with a happy blast of yellow. The shades are lighter than those found in the adult bedroom, adjusted to better suit the age and taste of the inhabitant.




Other elements in the room are soft grey and white.




Character decals are mixed with popular mountain mural walls, incorporating fun with fashion.




Under the mountain wall mural, an activity/display wall includes a whiteboard, peg board and pin board at kid height.




The kids bathroom has the same tile as the adult bathroom – a tile this eye-catching spans the ages.
