The Warm White Apartment is a simple yet elegant three-bedroom home. It features a crisp white color palette, with small splashes of color to add warmth. In the living room, flippable mirror fins offer a visual twist while creating privacy for the dining area. Moreover, the dining space includes a convenient backing counter that integrates the oven into the storage unit. Meanwhile, a French door with Georgian bars reveals a glimpse of the welcoming balcony. Soft botanical art ties together the accent cushions and dining chairs, while Chinar leaf inlays add a subtle artistic touch to the floor.
A Balcony That Blends Indoors and Outdoors
The balcony connects the living room’s white flooring to cement flooring in a seamless hexagonal pattern. Furthermore, a faux-wood ceiling with concealed starry lights creates a magical glow at night. In addition, lush plants and blooming bougainvillea liven up the barbecue counter, which can fold neatly against the wall when not in use.
Bright Kitchen and Cozy Bedrooms
The kitchen shines with its pristine white counters, white dado, and white back-painted glass shutters. These reflective surfaces make the linear layout feel spacious. In the master bedroom, pastel green wallpaper pairs with warm wooden bed-back paneling, creating a snug retreat. Embroidered fabric by Sarita Handa, displayed as wall art, adds texture and charm. Meanwhile, the master bathroom uses rose gold fittings and a black-and-white inlay, making a stylish statement.
Kids’ Room: Where Imagination Thrives
In the kids’ bedroom, a white base color meets a pale yellow niche that stores toys. This cheerful setting includes a blackboard-painted elephant for playful scribbles. Additionally, a refurbished bunk bed doubles as a mini-house, giving children their own fun hideaway. The kids’ bathroom features a checkered floor with lively graphics to spark creativity.
Guest Room: Art Inspired by Nature
Finally, the guest bedroom highlights a large 3D contour artwork, reflecting the client’s mountain origins. These contours flow across the wardrobe’s back-painted glass, ensuring design continuity. Altogether, the Warm White Apartment presents a serene living space that balances simplicity, comfort, and subtle elegance.
