Silky smooth modern finishes, light and calming backdrops, arches and creative curves fill these two modern home interiors with a restrained sense of luxury. Visualised by 吴 振宇, this duo of interesting interiors spark intrigue with dashes of the unexpected. Wall and ceiling stucco takes on a life of its own as it rises and falls in subtly curvaceous focal points, room dividers, and zoning devices. Thoughtful lighting schemes draw attention to the details and set the mood. Furniture is contemporary with an emphasis on comfort and stylish practicality. Built-in cabinetry offers entirely bespoke arrangements that neatly hug the edges of room layouts, making the most of void spaces.
Our first featured home design has a living room with a spectacular view. The large edge-to-edge window inspires a sunken lounge area, so that the panorama may be enjoyed all the way into the back of the apartment.
A curved ceiling bows overhead, which adds to the light and airy atmosphere of the living room. Back down on the floor of the lounge, a pair of round coffee tables complement the arched ceiling line.
Behind the sunken lounge, a second seating area is situated towards the back of the apartment where there is less natural light. To combat the shadows, a recessed LED lighting system has been installed along the perimeter of the room. The thin ribbon of light also accentuates a smoothly curved canopy that scoops to its end behind a built-in bookcase.
The large living room rug adds texture underfoot. A unique coffee table features a glass extension that allows the eye-catching rug pattern to shine through.
A Tom Dixon Opal Arcfloor lamp can be switched between powerful and diffused light to suit the situation or task at hand. Behind the cushiony modular sofa, a row of built-in bookcases are backlit to set a cosy mood.
More LED strip lights cast a subtle glow across the TV wall and underneath a bank of floating storage cabinets.
Rich walnut fills the floors and feature walls.
A passageway between the living room and the dining room comes alive with the flickering flame of a sleek letterbox fireplace.
Above the modern fireplace, concave circles sink inside the wall stucco to create a beautiful focal point.

Inside the walk-in wardrobe, smoked glass wardrobes moodily line one wall, whilst a modern vanity table is customised to overlap the deep window sill.
In here, a curved ceiling line complements an arched upholstered headboard. A raised platform around the bed fashions a split-level layout.
The final bedroom, located just off the living room, is a large and light-filled space. A round rug peeps playfully from beneath the upholstered bed to support the interesting asymmetrical layout.
Inside the shower room, a similar materials palette ensures cohesivity throughout.
A decorative tray adorns the cool white marble vanity with a touch of warming wood tone.

Back in the master bedroom, a tinted glass bathtub leads the way into the open plan ensuite.
Punchy, colourful accents send a current of youthful fun throughout this modern home interior. Visualised by One More Buro, this 186 square metre private apartment was designed for a young couple and their pet cat. The spacious home features four large panoramic windows that flood the open living space with light. A bright orange home office area forms a prominent feature within the living space, which allows the homeowners to spend time together even when involved in different tasks. A second, private home office space is combined with the guest bedroom for times of deeper concentration, and a home gym offers the owners a space in which to stretch their muscles and decompress.
The client's principal requirement was that a workspace be included within the open plan living space, so that he wouldn't be cut off from his home life. The workspace had to be a bespoke unit that could accommodate all of the equipment needed. In answer, the home office area became an entire wall of cabinets with a prominent orange finish. This colourful piece sets the tone for the rest of the youthful interior.
With punchy accent pieces dominating the decor scheme, areas of peaceful white breathing space take on added importance. A creamy white upholstered sofa is framed by matching drapes and fresh white walls. A black tripod floor lamp adds a moment of dark difference.
