TONE ON TONE
Situated in an apartment with a layered aesthetic that is designed for laid-back family holidays, this living room's original period features - including traditional floor tiles and pressed ceilings - enliven a neutral palette of creams, beiges and pale bamboo tones. An inviting L-shaped couch prompts thoughts of lazy lounging, and the walls have been plastered but left unpainted, giving them a textured look.
INTERIOR DIALOGUE
The formal living room of a home that mixes classic elements with vintage and modern pieces features a high ceiling emphasised by off-white walls and full-length curtains in a matching shade of pale, with the entire scheme anchored by a chic Carrara marble coffee table. Inside this refined frame, carefully selected fixtures and furnishings - such as an expansively luxurious yet clean-lined couch, a vintage chandelier and a contemporary standing lamp - make for a very sophisticated space.
SERENITY RULES
The living room of an urban cottage reveals its creative owner's passion for layering earthy elements into a serene, monochrome palette. Light floods the space thanks to large windows, white-painted concrete floors and the high, open-truss ceiling - and the eye-catching centrepiece is a beautiful contemporary chandelier made from clay beads. The wall-mounted mirror is inspired by the form of an anemone and made of coconut sticks, and adds further natural texture to the space, as does the rustic wood side table.
