Adding Interest to Neutral Decor

Posted: 30 Oct 2012 09:04 AM PDT

Designed by Yu Ken Space Design in Taiwan, this predominantly neutral toned interior exhibits an interesting edge not always found in such schemes; we take a closer study on how this refreshing result can be achieved.

Sophisticated living room

Neutral living room diner

In the open plan kitchen a subtle yet shiny egg shell blue backsplash sings out from under simple white wall cabinets, and sits playfully against the small green feature wall at the end of an adjacent hallway. Both introductions of color cover only a small space within the otherwise neutral palette but are enough to tantalize the eye. Across the hallway a beige pillar gathers interest in a different way, with the subtle sheen of a fleurs de lis paper.

White kitchen layout

Throughout the space, bright recessed ceiling lights shed sparkle over everything, and their square shape picks up on the black diamond feature tiles dotted in the floor.

Black kitchen worktop

Textured fabric bar stools provide a warm welcome break from the smooth expanse of cool kitchen worktops and high shine flooring.

In the living area a huge piece of black marble looms behind the entertainment area to provide pattern, and a large piece of wall art hangs above a simple sofa that has been decorated with rich fabric throw cushions.

Asian Inspired Decor and Accessories

Posted: 26 Oct 2012 08:29 AM PDT

Following on from our other asian inspired interiors and our exploration of a modern asian minimalistic apartment, we have been wowed by these designs from Indonesian designer Romi that are filled with Eastern charm and modern Asian aesthetics.

The monochrome geometric pattern of this wallpaper brings a distinctive contemporary edge to this living space, and yet the bold print works beautifully behind traditional china display plates. The crisp pattern of the alcove wall covering also keeps the adjacent vintage chair and footstool appearing fresh and edgy.

Hard-edged metal pieces work in contrast to the softer wood tones in this home to present a balanced feel.

White coffee table

The kitchen diner area places the curvaceous legs of traditional dining furniture against the slick glossy planes of contemporary minimalist cabinets and brick tiles for a stunning contrast. Two low hanging pendant lights create warm mood lighting over the eating-place, and the sparkle is reflected in a huge sunburst mirror.

Blossoming bonsai tree

A bonsai tree is the perfect addition to an Eastern inspired space to promote sense of calm and wellbeing, and a classic Asian statue is the cherry on the cake.

Although the space is heavily accessorized, every piece has its place to create a well-organized and together look.
