Muted colours make mellow, happy melds inside these three inspirational modern home designs, to promote relaxation and rejuvenation. In sunny home design number one, we see an immediate influx of colour via a curvaceous terrazzo clad feature wall and TV mount, which are swiftly joined by sweet pink, blue, and yellow accents.

Lastly, we conclude our collection with a crisp modern apartment interior, where muted colour clashes instil unique personality and joyous moments.
