Coming home to a door within a hidden door life can be filled with surprises! More like a versatile concealed glass sliding door and wall that cleverly separate the main door from the kitchen and dining space. Infused in pristine white is balanced with a warm but dark undertone walnut brown found as an extended, joined dining table and inner open storage units.

What if the dining space can be a literal combination as a two-in-one island bar? Customised for a minimalist sophisticated living, the “cut-out” long island bar topped with luxurious white grey marble, is stacked on a wooden layer while its base is given additional storage space at one side. Meanwhile, a chunk of pastel mint green transforms the ambience as the door slides right.

A minimalist vision, modern luxury yet not too rustic for a tropical beach themed interior; doors opened to a room based in purely white. Blended with beautiful streaks of wooden tones decked from the hallway to the living, dining and kitchen spaces. Not to mention, the wainscoted walls set sail as a classical English holiday lifestyle.

Filled with natural lighting, the dining space is integrated with the social space, where a versatile in-built island and its storage drawer are given a marine, navy blue shade. A subtle addition to the deep colour, a few interesting pastel hues instilled into the colour wheel—fresh minty green paired with gold handles for the wet kitchen, while a sweet bashful blush the lady’s bedroom.

There is just something about the Scandinavian décor. The appeal lies in how aspirational this specific design style feels – that uncluttered nature and brightness evoke a sense of calm. Focusing on minimalism, clean lines and functionality without sacrificing beauty, this bright and airy living space falls heavy on the neutral scheme.

Natural wood pieces and tones are instilled to give a boost, where the vertically-stripped wood plane holds the television in place, stretching out as a feature wall where a white storage cabinet is fixed onto the other end of the black backdrop, while the exposed cabinet, wittily concealed in between. Making things interesting, the apartment comes splendidly with bizarre furniture, framed handwritten words, sketchy graphics and, of course, a pop of colours!

When an apartment is an old unit and has an odd angle, it is a tall order with a need for a major refurbishment. A fresh outlook altogether, the interior is given a novel approach of a mixed Scandinavian and contemporary suave. With the love of using wood in any Scandinavian design, the minimal scheme of white, grey and dark tones blend in appealingly, along with touches of blush for a softer look.

Maximising space to its full potential, the living and dining space make room for the private office space, where a partition strip-line texture glass doors slide in between. Fusing elements out of the ordinary, the artificial plants incorporated at the living’s feature wall did turn out as a fitting ingenious idea.

Designed with a contemporary intent, this apartment carries a look that is of sophistication with a taste of luxury. Additionally, its uncluttered nature of clean lines, is a pragmatic solution and aesthetic outlook. The colour scheme is set with a white flooring paired with dark tones, combined with dark wood to match with Aria’s overall design direction.

For a luxury stance, white marble textured panels are fixed along the in-built television console area, as the blush lounge softens the masculine look. Masked as part of the cabinets, the door unexpectedly opens to the master room, imbued with dark turquoise green wall as the bed is placed against it. All in all, a perfect blend of minimalist, sophistication and luxury yet not over-the-top.
