Light and Dark Apartment Design Inspiration

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:48 AM PDT

Many modern apartment designs, including those featured on this site, rely on bright neon pops of color to give the rooms a more playful feel. However, there is always something to be said for the more subdued and sophisticated choice of monochromatic design. In the first of these two urban apartments, both photographed by the ever reliable Hey!Cheese, we can see that black, white, and shades of grey can create an almost zen-like modern atmosphere. In the second home, while dark colors pervade, earthy accent walls manage to warm up the design.

The marble half wall, where an LCD television is mounted, creates a comfortable office nook that is separate from the living area, but not closed off from the house. This makes it easy to forget about work, but equally easy to jump into it comfortably.

The massive built-in storage unit in the living room creates a black accent wall when closed, and tons of hidden storage space when every door opens up.

The green accent wall in the dining area is the only color focus. The darker, almost forest green shade gives it a more neutral and natural appeal.

The narrow bedroom with a subtly blue wall behind the bed is a little more playful than the other rooms, including a cozy window seat and interesting paneled wall.
