Bright blue and grey decor fills these three small home interiors with a cool and breezy vibe. These chilled interior designs come along with warm accents to build spaces that feel welcoming and homey. Rattan pendant shades, natural timber elements and floors, and even some splashes of gold and red turn up the heat. A scattering of indoor plants add another beat of colour to the palette, and paint a picture of a more lived in, more loved place. Modern furniture silhouettes and stylish light choices come together in bold and confident arrangements that make the most of the compact quarters they are assigned to.
Our first blue and grey home interior is warmed by pale gold scatter cushions on the sofa. The sofa is a small two seater design so as not to overwhelm the compact room dimensions, space is left around the couch on each side so that there can be an easy flow of footfall between the living room and the glass wall bedroom located behind.
The glass wall draws back in a bifold action to open up extra living space for the couple and their child. This is a half studio home that measures in at a neat 62 square metres.
The grey and blue colour scheme, paired with chic modern furniture, creates a crispness of style that makes the home feel much more than its measure. A sizeable plant stand serves as a transition piece between the sitting area and a home workspace in the corner.
A square coffee table stands on large format square floor tiles. A grey area rug warms up the floor around the sofa.
A trio of kitchen bar stools is made up of two blue stools and one grey to shake off uniformity.
In the dark grey kitchen design, the upper cabinets have been faced with wood effect doors for added warmth.
Wooden elements warm the grey and blue bedroom design too. Natural pendant shades and wood effect bedside units make a beautiful overlay to a grey panelled feature wall.
Frameless wall mirrors give the illusion of added space in the apartment.
The bathroom and utility are combined as one.
Wood cladding and blue feature walls break up the space.
The same marble floor tiles run throughout the entire apartment…
… Except for an awesome kid’s room design. In here, a warmer wood laminate floor has been laid to make playing on the floor more comfortable. The ever popular Mr Fox wallpaper brings humour and cuteness to the kids’ wall decor.
A fox cushion adds a flash of orange to the blue bed set.
Toy storage and balloon lights add more energised orange accents to the blue kid’s room. A mountain themed chalkboard climbs a sky blue wall.
A kid’s chair pulls up to a homework desk with colour coordinated blue and orange drawers.
Our second stop is a 56 square metre apartment, designed for a young male homeowner.
It’s the dining pendant lights that float like brightly coloured balloons in this home, or perhaps more like baubles under their metallic sheen. Their spherical nature ties in with a modern round dining table below.
A couple of blue throws soften the wooden dining chairs.
Additional chairs hang in a bright blue arrangement over one white wall.
In the bedroom, an industrial style light installation has been created across a smart blue feature wall.
Another blast of bright colour strikes around the frame of a desk chair by the window.
A red shelf boldly underlines the TV.
In the hallway, it’s a small red stool that steals attention. A walk through closet leads into the bedroom on its other side.
A red, white and blue bathroom scheme feels warm and inviting.
Red bathroom paint surrounds the bathtub, whilst blue paint covers the cistern wall.
Vertical white marble tiles cross behind a round vanity mirror and floating unit.
The end wall is painted blue to make the bathroom feel pulled together and cosy. A natural timber table and a rattan basket up the tonal temperature.
Thirdly, we come to a 66.4 square metre home, designed for clients with a fondness for the maritime theme and travel. This is hinted at in the artwork in the home, and in the style of the gold wall lights that cross the grey living room wall.
Only two large windows let daylight into the home, so designers took on a challenge in including a children’s bedroom, master bedroom, and a living room with kitchen, without losing the feeling of spaciousness. <
