Ch. 5: Pancakesss

----

     The next hour or so (you weren’t really paying attention at this point) went by okay. It could’ve gone faster but it wasn’t too slow. Most of the ride anyway, was just you and Ben jamming out to music. You and Ben both had a similar taste in music. You both liked the oldies but couldn’t stay away from some of the more popular music now. When you both weren’t jamming out, you would be grubbing on food over in the back. Of course you had to bring your trail mix because trail mix slaps. Ben just decided to bring some chips because he said that raisins are gross, especially mixed with salted peanuts. He was so goddamn picky that it got on your nerves sometimes. Like who would turn down a perfectly good bag of trail mix? Which ultimately lead to your next argument. 

     “Trail mix is the superior snack, it has saltiness from the peanuts, sweetness from the M&M’s, and the raisins just add more fucking flavor! Mr. Jones, you are in the wrong here!” You looked over at him for his response. 

     “The peanuts are okay, but it just doesn’t mix with M&M’s because who likes salty chocolate? And who even likes RAISINS?!”

     “Actually, get your facts straight sir, many people like salty chocolate. Also I LIKE RAISINS! I’M LIVING PROOF!” 

     “Your not a fucking raisin, Y/n.” Ben rolled his eyes at you but looked back towards the road because it was getting pretty dangerous now that you were driving through the mountains. 

     “THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!” You huffed in frustration. “What’s so great about your cHiPs that make it so much better compared to my trail mix? Hmmmmmm?” 

     “Chips are just an easier snack, dear.”

     “The fuck you mean EaSiEr?” 

     Ben sighed. “I mean more portable and they don’t make such a mess with the chocolate melting and they just taste better.” 

     “Point not proven. Trail mix is superior, end of story.” You turned back to your trail mix and continued eating. 

     You hated driving through the mountains because it terrified you. Everything about it was scary. The fact that if you made one wrong turn you could plummet to your ultimate death, that you were scared of heights, and that rocks could just come tumbling down at any moment. Which is why Ben tried to distract you from it because he knew that you would have a panic attack. It’s happened before. It was on a family trip to California with Ben’s family, of course, and you started having a mental breakdown and started hyperventilating. Poor Ben had seen it happen so many times to the point that he knows exactly what to do if it ever happened again. 

     Luckily though, you were okay this time which was weird. You weren’t about to go into full freak out mode. You felt… fine. You snuggled into Ben’s sweater some more and laid back to relax. Before you knew it, you passed out. 

------------------------------------------------------

     When you finally woke up, you weren’t in the mountain range anymore. You were on your way to your Uncle’s house. Driving through the big neighborhood and streets. The streets were really confusing. Ben looked like he didn’t know where he was going. Luckily, you had already pulled out your phone to use the GPS. If you didn’t, you both would have been lost in the never ending streets and houses. Ben pulled up into your Uncle’s driveway and parked. The house was huge, at least 2 stories tall. You’ve been here before when you were like five but you can’t remember much. And everything you did remember was mostly a blur. Your thoughts were cut short when Ben called from outside the SUV to get out or at least hand him the keys to get in. 

     You grabbed the keys, jumped out of the car and sprinted over to the front door where Ben was. You ran through the grass and up the porch steps until you were face to face with the door. You were way too excited for this. 

     “Took you long enough.” Ben said as he walked up behind you. You didn’t notice that you passed him on the way. 

     “Sorry, got caught in my thoughts.” You were good at running but right now, you were too tired. 

     “Well? You going to open the door love?” 

     “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.” You huffed as you put the keys in and finally opened the door. Of course the first thing you noticed about the house was the smell. The smell of the house was mixed in with the breeze of the ocean and the beach. You loved it. Ben on the other hand didn’t really care. He just walked in and was amazed by how big it was. You closed the door behind you and turned left to see Ben looking around amazed by the living room. You walked into the living room after him. There was a fireplace with the flat screen TV above it. There was a couch facing the fireplace with one small couch chair on the east and west side of it, facing each other with a rectangular coffee table in the middle of it. On the west side of the couches, there was a giant window to see out to the front lawn. On the east side, it led into the dining room. There were sliding wooden doors that separated the dining room and the living room. You opened the doors and walked in. There was a long rectangular dining table in the center with 3 chairs on the longer sides while one chair on each of the smaller sides of the table. To your left, there were two doors that lead to your Uncle’s office, but he told you not to go in there. On the opposite end of you and the long dining table was the kitchen. It had a bar top that had all the information like the wifi password and rules to the house that your uncle had left you two. The fridge was one of those double door ones, you forgot the name of it. On the right side of the dining table, there was the stairs that lead up to the bedrooms and everything. You decide not to go up there just yet because you wanted to check out the backyard. The door to the backyard was through the kitchen. 

     You had completely forgotten about Ben until he appeared beside you in the kitchen, you make your way to the back door and open it. The backyard was beautiful, there was a wooden plank cover over the rustic looking porch chairs and coffee table. Along the backyard walls were beautiful vines going up and down. There was even a palm tree in the back corner of the yard. The grass was actually green unlike back in Arizona where most grass died from the heat. The string lights that hung everywhere matched so well. You were definitely going to turn them on tonight. And maybe Ben too. 

     “So, you gonna stand here and look at the grass all day or are we going to get the stuff from the car and claim rooms?” Ben’s sudden statement made you jump, you were so lost in thought. You’ve been doing that a lot today. 

     “Awww, I was planning on just looking at the grass, why you gotta ruin my fun?” You pouted but of course he always caught your sarcasm so it didn’t matter. You stepped down to the porch from the steps and walked up to the gate that lead into the driveway. The gate was rusty so it made an awful creeking sound that made your face scrunch up in disgust. Ben just covered his ears in pain. 

     “We need to get oil for that, ‘cause there’s no way I can deal with that for the next two months.” Ben walked passed you towards the car to get the stuff out of the trunk. 

     “I think I got some in the car somewhere and if not then maybe my Uncle got some.” You walked over to the trunk and opened the back door. Grabbing both yours and Ben’s suitcases and placing them on the concrete and climbed in and crawled inside the SUV to check if anything else was left. You turned around and sat on the edge of the car and just dangle your legs around. Ben came back from the driver's seat and saw you just sitting there. You put your elbows on your knees and your head in your hands. You looked… sad and he didn’t know why. 

     “Hey, what’s wrong love?” Ben walked closer to you and put a hand on your thigh. 

     “Nothing, I’m just thinking, I guess.” You looked up at him but didn’t move your head. Ben decided to grab both of your hands in his. You sat up at his touch and looked him in the eyes. Those fucking green orbs were really going to kill you. 

     “Thinking about what? I know that when you think too much, you tend to get caught in your feelings.” And he was right, because right now your feelings were caught for him. But you couldn’t tell him that. 

     “I’m fine, really, I was just thinking about the next two months.” You give a sly smile but it quickly disappears. Ben gets in between your legs now and his face is just mere inches from you. You can feel his hot breath on your face. Your hands are still in his. 

     “Are you though?” Every second Ben kept getting closer and closer until his stupid phone went off. He let go of your hands and grabbed his phone. His mom was calling, you loved her to death like your own mother but wrong time to be calling. At least for you. 

     “Sorry, I got to take this.” Ben whispered as he answered the phone. He put it between his ear and his shoulder to keep it in place as he grabbed his suitcases and headed for the back gate. You huffed in frustration, so close but so goddamn far. You jumped out from the back of the SUV and slammed the doors. You grabbed your luggage and start heading for the house, your grip was so tight on the handle of the case that your knuckles were turning white. 

     Once you entered onto the back porch, you let go of the suitcases and closed the gate, forgetting about the horrible screeching sound it made. Once it was locked you turned back to the backyard door and sighed. You had it so bad for that man but oh boy was it so complicated. You grabbed your things and made your way to the door and walked in. Ben was nowhere to be seen, maybe he was already upstairs. You passed through the kitchen and up the stairs you went. The stairs had five steps leading up and then a platform, then going to the left up another fifteen or so steps and then another stupid platform with five or six more steps turning left leading to the second floor. It wouldn’t be so difficult if it was just you but no, you had to carry two suitcases up with you. 

     Once you got up there, your legs were about to give out. The first bedroom on your right was your Uncle’s and it had two giant white doors to it. The second door on the other side of it was one of the rooms you or Ben would be staying in. It was a bright pink color and it had a queen size bed with a window on the wall with the bed frame. The closet was on your left and it was a small one but it would do. The dresser was on the wall near the door and it had a big mirror. Then on the right side of the room, there was a door that lead to the bathroom. You decide to leave your stuff in here for now until you explored the rest of the house. You walked further down the hall. There was another room on your right but you weren’t too worried about it because it was more of a kids room. And next to it was another bathroom. Between your Uncle’s room and the kids room was the laundry room. At the end of the hall were two other doors. One on the right, it leads to a small living room with a balcony. It had a futon and a TV along with a small table in the middle. The room on the left was closed so you decide to open the door. It was a light baby blue color and basically identical to the pink room besides the balcony it had on the right side. The closet was a walk in on the left wall near the bathroom door. Ben was lying on the bed, all sprawled out. 

     “Hey Benny Boy, you still on the phone?” You walked in slowly only to find out that he was passed out. “Okay then…” 

     You walk through his bathroom into your room since they were connected. You walked over to your pink fluffy bed and belly flopped onto it. You were so tired from everything and all you wanted to do was take a nap but you knew you couldn’t. You had to unpack and get everything situated. Then you could sink into your new pretty pink bed and fall fast asleep. 

     You get up and groan. It wasn’t even that late yet, it was barely 4:30 pm. The sun was still out and luckily, it gave some natural lighting in your room. You sit down next to your bags and start to go through them. You put your bras, underwear, and socks in the top drawer of the dresser, your shirts in the middle drawer, and your pants in the bottom one. Your nice clothes on the other hand, were going to go in the closet to hang up. You brought a couple colorful sundresses in case you decide to go out somewhere and a couple of late night dresses in case you wanted to go out and have some fun. You place your shoes, sandals, and fuzzy slippers at the bottom of the closet. After, you went and put all of your makeup, brushes, and whatever you had for your skin care routine. You had finally finished unpacking when you checked the time on your phone to see it was 5:30 now. You didn’t realize you took that long. You really wanted to go out on the first night but you were just being lazy at this point. Maybe you and Ben would get some Postmates since you really didn’t feel like driving. 

     You walk through your bathroom and into Ben’s room. He’s still in the same place as he was an hour ago. You walk over and violently shake him until you hear him groan. 

     “What do you want love? I’m trying to sleep.” He rubbed his eyes with his fists and looked at you. 

     “I want to sleep too but you need to get unpacked and I’m hungry, should we get Postmates?” Ben scooches over to make room for you to sit down on the bed. You sit down and the next thing you know, Ben’s arms wrap around your waist and he pulls you down with him onto the bed to lay down. You should have known by now that he would do this. 

     “Ben! C’mon, we gotta get you unpacked!” You try to snake away from his grasp on you but it doesn’t work. Now your back is against chest and he’s breathing down your neck once again like back at the hotel. 

     “Your not going anywhere sweetheart. Let’s just relax for a bit… Hmmmm… How does that sound?” You can tell that he’s dozing off so you try to break from his arms. This time you actually get out. Once your free you shake Ben and push him off the bed. 

     “Fine! I’m up!” Ben pushes himself up from the floor and sits back against the bed. 

     “Took you long enough.” Mocking his words from earlier. You turn back to the door and open it. 

     “What do you want from Postmates?” You call back as you walk down the hall. 

     “I don’t know, your choice, surprise me!” Ben yelled back from his room. 

-------------------------------------------------------------

     Ben had finished unpacking when the food arrived. You just decided to get some chinese food because you were craving it all day. You got Ben his usual and even then he was complaining. 

     “You didn’t surprise me!” He whined like a little child.

     “If I did, you would complain anyway about how the food was different.” You said back from the living room while stuffing food in your mouth. 

     “Whatever, I’ll still eat it, I guess.” Ben said as he walked into the living room and sat next to you on the couch. You decided to put Netflix on and binge watch Sugar Rush. Ben loved this show and so did you. You both loved baking shows and it was quite odd since neither of you could bake. 

     “Stop being a prick Benny. You know I’m right.” 

     “Sure, keep telling yourself that, sweetheart.” Ben’s little nicknames for you were cute but sometimes you felt like his little pet. It didn’t really matter to you, sometimes you would give Ben little nicknames too like Benny Boy or Benji. 

     “Okay well anyways, I put on Sugar Rush.”

     “Is this really how we’re spending our Thursday night? Watching Sugar Rush while eating Postmates and being lazy bums?”

     “Yeah, I guess so. I don’t care. We can just go out tomorrow night.” You shoved more food into your mouth and looked over at Ben. 

     “M’sure but we just got here and I’m so ready to go and do something.” Ben said as he stuffed his face with food. You poked Ben to make him look at you. When he turned his head to face you, you had stuffed your mouth with noodles and they were just dangling from your lips. Ben started to laugh uncontrollably and almost choked on his own food. 

     The next hour went by pretty quickly and the next thing you know, you and Ben had finished your food and wandered into the kitchen to find something to do. Ultimately though, you found nothing and just ended back on the couch, watching Sugar Rush. It got cold pretty quickly so you got up and went upstairs to get yours and Ben’s blankets that your grandma had given the both of you. You ran back down stairs and sat back down next to Ben. You handed him his blanket and snuggled into yours. Even with the blanket though, you were still freezing. 

     “Hey Benny?”

     “Yes love?” He looked over you. You were on the opposite end of the couch, nearest to the window while Ben was on the other end. 

     “Am I the only one freezing to death?”

     “Your cold? I’m fine,” Ben said as he snuggled into his blanket some more. “Do you want me to keep you warm Y/n/n?” 

     “Please!” You basically threw yourself at him when he said that. You snuggled up against his side while he draped his arm around your shoulders. Ben’s body heat made you ten times warmer. You rested your head on him and dozed off. 

     Ben didn’t realize you fell asleep until he started getting tired too. He tried to get up but you wouldn’t budge. Usually he would just pick you up and carry you to your room. Instead he just let you sleep there and soon enough, he fell asleep too. 

----------------------------------------

     When you had finally woken up, Ben wasn’t there anymore like back at the hotel. You didn’t care this time though, because he can’t be flirting with some random desk girl here. The sunlight shone through the white curtains of the living room window giving the room a soft and angelic feeling and look to it. What really caught your attention though was the smell of pancakes and fresh fruit. You flipped over to look into the dining room but the doors were closed. You got up and wrapped your blanket around your shoulders as you made your way to the sliding wooden doors. You parted them slightly to just have a peak, your eyes wandered until they fell onto Ben cooking. Your heart melted at the fact that he had an apron on. He looked adorable in it and his cooking was quite good too. You moved the doors to step into the dining room before entering the kitchen with Ben. You snaked around him to grab some fresh strawberries from the bowl he left on the counter. 

     “Hey! Those strawberries are for breakfast!” Benny said as he swatted your hand away from the bowl, but not before you could grab a couple. 

     “Free for all.” You turned back around and went on the other side of the bar top to watch him and his skills at cooking. As Ben continued cooking, you looked over everything your Uncle had left you. You had forgotten to go over it yesterday since you were so tired from unpacking everything. Your Uncle had left you a note that read: 

Dear Y/n, 

If you’re reading this(which I hope you are!) then you have finally made it to my house. All of the papers under this note are of some importance so make sure you read through them carefully! The wifi password shouldn’t be too hard to remember and if anything happens make sure to call and tell me. I will be away for three months but you are planning to only be here for two so I probably won’t see you when I get back. I have a groundskeeper so don’t call the police when you see a random guy walking around the backyard. That would be bad! Anyways, I hope you and Ben have a great time in San Diego and don’t do anything stupid! 

-Sincerely, Your Uncle

P.S.: I forgot to mention to not go into my office or my master bedroom because privacy! Bye!

     “What you reading over there love?” Ben said as he flipped the pancake that was in the grey pan. 

     “Just reading a note my Uncle left us.” You looked through the papers under the note and they got long and boring so you decided you’ll go through them later. Right now though, the smell of the pancakes really had your attention. Before you could say anything Ben saw that look in your eyes. 

     “No, you can’t have any pancakes until I’m done!” Ben swung the spatula in the air. You sighed in defeat. 

     “Fine, I’ll just go upstairs” You grumbled as you heaved your way up the flight of stairs to your bedroom. All you wanted was some of Ben’s pancakes but no, you had to wait until he was finished in the kitchen. Whatever, you’ll just find something to do in the meantime. And that something was going through Ben’s stuff. When you were back home, or Ben’s home to be exact, you would rummage through his clothes and play dress up. Ben was your judge, he critiqued you on your sense of style and how good you look. You loved how big his clothes were on you, baggy shirts and his basketball shorts were your favorite out of them all. Even though he didn’t play the sport, he still owned a few pairs like every basic teenage boy out there. 

     You walked into his closet which was bigger than yours but you couldn’t do anything about it. The first thing you looked for was a t-shirt. You went through his many drawers but you couldn’t make up your mind on which one to take. Until you find his soccer jersey, you decide to change your shirt for it. After finding that one, you look into his other clothes to find his basketball shorts. You didn’t really have to choose because they were just different colors so you chose the black ones. You looked like a bumble bee with Ben’s yellow jersey and black shorts but now all you had to get was his socks. You liked his socks more than your own, you called them his soccer socks since you couldn’t remember the name of them, but they were long and usually black. You tried to hurry and find his socks before Ben came up here to look at what you were doing. As you were digging through his sock drawer, you hit something hard, like a book. You digged through his collection of soccer socks until you found it. 

     It was a plain baby blue journal that said Ben on the cover. You didn’t want to invade Ben’s privacy but it was already in your hands so who cares? You open up to the first page which read: DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER! -Love, Ben’s Diary.

     Ben had a diary?! That you didn’t know about? Impossible! Ben’s not very good at keeping secrets so it really was a shocker to find out that he had this tucked away in his sock drawer. You wanted to continue reading but before you could even turn the page, Ben called you that the pancakes were ready. Nothing was going to stop you from getting those pancakes, even if it meant leaving Ben’s diary. You would come back for it later anyways. You quickly closed the book and covered it back into the sock drawer. Before you left, you also grabbed a pair of his soccer socks and slipped them on. You jumped up and slid down the hall to the stairs. 

     Ben saw you coming from a mile away, what he didn’t expect was you dressed in his clothes. What really caught his attention was the socks. You went through his sock drawer? Usually he wouldn’t mind but he had his diary in there! He didn’t have much time to think until you came into the kitchen. 

     “Pancakes!” You sounded like a five year old. 

     “Yeah, I know. Here,” Ben said as he handed you your plate of food. “I can see you decided to play dress up again, love.”

     “I did!” You scurried over to the table and sat down and started munching away at the pancakes, Ben even gave you most of the strawberries from earlier. At least the ones he didn’t put into the pancakes. 

     “Alright well, I’m going to go change myself. I’ll be back in a bit.” He said as he ran off to his room, tripping over some of the steps on the way. Ben sprinted to his room and into his closet. He went through his sock drawer and found his diary at the very bottom. He knew that you knew that it was here. What he didn’t know was how much of it you read. He closed the drawer and stuffed it into the top shelf. 

     You were stuffed from the food and still kinda curious about Ben’s diary. Of course you weren’t going to bring it up to him because you didn’t want him to not let you dress up anymore. Once you rinsed off your plate and silverware, you made your way up stairs to where Ben was. You slowly opened the door but to no avail, he wasn’t there. You decided to just flop on his bed instead and snuggle in his blankets which surprisingly already smelled liked him. He didn’t even sleep in the stupid bed yet. You started to doze off until you fell asleep. 

     What Ben didn’t expect when he came out of the bathroom, was you wrapped in his blankets, sound asleep. God, he just wanted to snuggle next to you all day but if that happened, neither of you would wake up until 7 pm. It was only noon, maybe a little nap wouldn’t hurt. Ben decided to climb into his bed with you and pulled you into a cuddle except this time, your head was on his chest while his arms still wrapped around your waist. You put your arms in and cuddled in some more. It made Ben’s heart skip a beat or two, he never wanted this to end.

4 Apartments That Absolutely Nail The Grey Shade

Grey decor has never been so popular. As far as neutral shades go, grey reins supreme right now as a seriously chic and mature choice for homes big and small, from modest to amazing. Grey provides the ideal backdrop for a brighter splash of colour, or can be used as a stand alone shade. These four gorgeous home interiors have a combination of these two approaches. They also couple smooth shades of grey with textured pieces and natural elements for a varied visual, with lighting schemes that add drama and focus attention on special features. Many think of grey as a cold shade, but in these homes it is warm, welcoming and simply gorgeous.

Visualizer: Z Design   This living room is like a dark grey cocoon of cosiness. It is an open plan room where the kitchen runs straight into the dining space and on into the lounge area. Despite the multiple uses of the room, the space feels completely calm and cohesive thanks to one serene colour choice.

A grid of hundreds of niches make up the tv wall decor and a feature wall by the dining spot. Mood lighting creates interesting light and shade over the installation.

The minimalist living room contains a super smooth sofas that are reminiscent of huge grey pebbles. A subtly textured rug adds dimension underfoot, beneath a low level white coffee table.

The dining set is made up of a wooden table and dining benches which bring a beautiful gentle warmth to the whole scheme. A couple of white dining chairs lighten up the set at the head and foot of the table.

A slimline linear suspension light illuminates the eating spot without drawing any attention to itself.

The razor edge of the suspension light almost disappears in front of the light kitchen.

Inside a grey bedroom, the warm glow of an LED strip light cuts the headboard wall in half.

The bedroom lighting promotes a restful atmosphere.

Visualizer: Anna Zarechnaya & Andrei Erokhin   This living room dining room combo illustrates how to use a statement colour against a grey backdrop without overpowering it. This dusky pink shade tends to tone with the grey rather than cancel it out.

Beige has also been introduced to add lighter notes to the room, in the sofa upholstery and a modern area rug.

Raw concrete tv wall decor helps balance out the sweetness of the pink notes. A grey console unit sits beneath the wall mounted tv, blending in with its backdrop.

Above the sofa, a set of pink and grey shelves have been recessed into a nook. LEDs light the shelves. A swing arm wall lamp extends as a reading light over the sofa.

Wood and white nesting coffee tables perch atop the rug.

Framed mirrors have been given the dusky pink treatment in the dining area. The mirrored glass helps the room feel bigger too.

Grey marbled floor tiles run the length of the hallway, where grey closets line the walls.

Dusky pink base units and wooden wall cabinets make up the kitchen.

The L-shaped kitchen also contains a concrete breakfast bar, which is positioned to divide the kitchen from the lounge and formal dining area.

Visualizer: Kupinkskiy & Partners   Green scatter cushions add a dash of the unexpected to this grey living room.

A red plant provides further contrasting colour at the other side of a monochrome area rug.

Padded seats top a dining bench at the breakfast bar.

A reading nook has been fashioned along the window wall. A wooden bench supports green seat cushions to lounge on.

A low grey console unit equips the tv wall, which divides the main living room from the bedroom.

The glass wall bedroom allows an unobstructed visual flow, and maximises the sense of space in compact living quarters.

Inside the bedroom the decor is ethereal. An all white bed set, throw, rug and feature wall add up to a clean and calming space.

However, the closets and a chest of drawers bring charcoal grey base notes to the light and airy ensemble.

Visualizer: Wu Design   We’re met with a rustic living space inside this Kiev apartment.

Tree stump coffee tables nestle as a trio in front of a light grey couch.

The modern sofa is a sectional design which has been arranged in a U-shape to hug the lounge space, and keep the kitchen diner separate.

Stone clad tv wall decor reaches up to the rafters.

Gold statuettes decorate the console unit.

Seating has been arranged around a fireplace to create a cosy snug.

A comfortable reading chair with footstool and a rocking chair face into the modern fireplace, awaiting the spectacle of leaping flame.

A live edge dining table and brown dining chairs make up an earthy set.

The run of modern grey kitchen units pause at the centre of the wall, where a large window looks onto rolling green fields.

Lampshades are suspended from branches to make the rustic chandelier.

Black tableware suits the heavy rustic charm of the table.

Four swivel bar stools at the kitchen island have a industrial rustic charm.

A full length decorative wall mirror backs each of two pink stools in the hallway.

Sculptural art plays on the peaceful theme of the decor scheme that lies within the home.

The home layout plan better shows the location of the pink stools and sculpture plinth in the home entryway. We can see the two stools here next to a small sofa by the entry door.

Upmarket Pads With Industrial Vibes

Slick home styling puts polish on industrial vibe base decor in these four modern interiors. Raw concrete, exposed brick and natural wood crash together to make rugged rooms with soul and vintage charm. Industrial chic light fixtures made from metals become the crowning glory of deep shaded, high texture schemes. Soft cushiony modern furniture counteracts the rough backdrop, piling in an extra layer of comfort that turns the design concept into a home. We cover all different sized homes here too, from one impressively large and lofty apartment with towering feature windows, all the way through to a compact studio apartment with a space saving Murphy bed setup.

Visualizer: Bit Studio   In Romania, Oradea, black powder coated metal elements strike dark anchors through a white walled industrial style living room. Raw concrete ceilings weight down the light room scheme, and give the borders crisp definition.

A glass wall divides the lounge from the kitchen/dining room. This allows natural light to be shared between the two rooms and doubles the sense of space in the apartment, without sharing the cooking smells.

The kids’ room is creative space full of fun and adventure. An indoor climbing wall ascends next to a wooden mountain mural and a 3D aeroplane.

Two steps up and the split level bedroom changes from a place of exercise & play to a zone of rest and relaxation. Two huge bean bag chairs settle by a Montessori house frame bed.

Monochrome chevrons pattern a fabric teepee in the window. Natural timber slatted walls and furniture give the bedroom a woodland ambiance to match the forest themed wallpaper.

Wooden decor is used heavily inside the bathroom too. This time, indoor plants build on the natural theme.

A copper faucet accessorises a rustic vanity unit. See more unique faucets.

An unusual pendant light shines down above a unique toilet paper holder.

Designer: Roman Plyus   Our final industrial style interior tour is a compact studio, with a Murphy bed setup.

A chalkboard wall adds a touch of utilitarian character, pointing out all of the small apartments amenities.

A mint coloured SMEG fridge-freezer livens up the wooden L-shaped kitchen.

The allocated ‘chill out area’ of the studio is a lounge and dining room combo.

The compact sofa can be wheeled on its castors right underneath the dining table, making more sitting space around it for up to five dinner guests. A set of glass dining pendant lights give it formal adornment.

The mint colour accent threads through the studio in various forms.

A unique ceiling fan cools the compact area.

What appears as a TV unit actually opens up to reveal a utility cupboard, complete with drying racks and an ironing board.

When not in use at the dining table, the two extra chairs are repositioned at the double home workspace. The double Murphy bed shuts away into a simple white closet.

Upmarket Pads With Industrial Vibes

Slick home styling puts polish on industrial vibe base decor in these four modern interiors. Raw concrete, exposed brick and natural wood crash together to make rugged rooms with soul and vintage charm. Industrial chic light fixtures made from metals become the crowning glory of deep shaded, high texture schemes. Soft cushiony modern furniture counteracts the rough backdrop, piling in an extra layer of comfort that turns the design concept into a home. We cover all different sized homes here too, from one impressively large and lofty apartment with towering feature windows, all the way through to a compact studio apartment with a space saving Murphy bed setup.

Visualizer: Bit Studio   In Romania, Oradea, black powder coated metal elements strike dark anchors through a white walled industrial style living room. Raw concrete ceilings weight down the light room scheme, and give the borders crisp definition.

The Spirit Of Wabi-Sabi Interiors

Capturing the spirit of Wabi-Sabi in the home, with all of its sweet imperfections, leads to a sense of peace and a balanced sense of self. These four Japanese influenced interiors range from an ultra rustic aesthetic that toys with transience through aged wood, right through to a clean modern places with softer wabi-sabi moments. Raw timber, rustic stone, discoloured concrete, woven rugs, and hand-made rattan pieces thread through all the spaces in between, generating the reassuring lived-in look that defines the aesthetic.

Visualizer: Yana Prydalna   Rugged wooden pillars and beams dominate the first of our four home tours, alive with beautiful imperfections around their bark. The tree trunk structures build a sense of walking through the forest itself. A monochrome rug plants a freshness in the room that offsets the natural composition. The modernity is carried through in tidy contemporary seating and stylish throw cushions.

Double doors open the rustic living room out onto a terrace with a Japanese tea table.

The tree trunk support columns are like a living piece of the house, growing around the open plan.

A modern bench seat divides the lounge area from the kitchen diner. The cushions are a tonal addition that link the piece with the darker natural wood components.

Chocolate brown kitchen bar stools contrast richly with the light kitchen island. Three unique kitchen pendant lights add a sculptural element to the room, chic yet organic in silhouette.

A striking fireplace opens its fiery mouth beside a mesmerising mountain view.

Weather beaten wood and handmade Macrame set a boho vibe in the bedroom. Sculptural bedroom pendant lights hang heavily at each side of the bed.

A natural rug encircles the bed area, and the circle theme is continued into the rustic ensuite bathroom by an illuminated vanity mirror. The glow from around its edge highlights the imperfection in the concrete wall, building texture and depth.

The soft light glitters across the bathtub.

Visualizer: Yana Prydalna   Cactuses give height to living room layout number two. Neutral couches rest easy amidst stony walls. Heat builds in an orange woven rug and matching accent cushions. A round coffee table set brings in black pit stops to balance out the black bulk of a wall mounted TV.

Oversize wicker bell pendants hang low in the vertical plane. Wooden sections carve out great sections of the ceiling.

Buddhist busts make a majestic display across a black console table.

Plant stands line up in varying heights along the concrete window wall, bringing cactuses close to the sunshine. The modern fireplace has a 360º design, allowing it to blaze in two neighbouring living spaces. See ideas for modern fireplace screens here.

The opposite side of the fireplace wall is home to a kitchen diner. A terrazzo kitchen backsplash pulls together tones from the wooden cabinets and concrete floor. Dining chairs are teamed with a chunky wooden dining bench and a live-edge table to build a relaxed lived-in look.

A vase of twigs and some wooden chopping boards accessorise the room with natural charm.

Ceramic decorative vases stand tall on a floor bed design. Swing arm wall lamps cross a wall rug of uplifting blue.

Sand coloured walls add grit to a minimalist bathroom scheme. Modern wall sconces match with black bathroom furniture and fixtures.

Designer: Killing Matt Woods   Visualizer: Melissa More Flores   Our third home is an intimate yet utilitarian apartment, inspired by Brutalism and the local warehouse vernacular. A curved sofa sweeps in with a soft blue hue, which completely changes the dynamic of the square living room.

A square coffee table counteracts the sofas curve, bringing the layout back in line with a custom concrete topped console unit.

A tan accent chair floats between the lounge and the kitchen diner. A high-polish concrete floor exaggerates the textured effect of a ribbed kitchen island feature.

The concrete mezzanine balustrade provides a mount for a wall light, which descends elegantly over the circular island feature.

Ribbed wall units ripple across the back wall of the kitchen.

Matching panel work textures the side of the modern staircase.

A console table carries curves to complement the crescent sofa.

Visualizer: Prodan Design   Our last tour is a back to roots interior filled with natural texture and soft earth tones. A mix of new and traditional elements mingle minimalism, wabi-sabi and ethnic styles in peaceful harmony. A modern sofa and round coffee table settle on a tribal print rug. A vase of Pampas grass adds height and a gentle tactile element.

The room has a simple geometry. A low bench trims the base of a projection wall, a stack of display shelves cut into the corner, and roller blinds complete the wraparound linearity.

Walls, ceiling, doors, floor, and furniture all pull from the same colour palette, giving the eyes rest.

Raw timber builds the shelves, which give home to rustic bowls and pots.

The wooden floor of the lounge ends at concrete kitchen tile.

A white washed wood dining bench, table and chairs make a cool combination with the pale kitchen.

The L-shaped kitchen seems to extrude directly from colour matched walls.

The earthy master reminds us of the gorgeous bedroom in this Japanese inspired house.. A similar pairing of bedroom pendant lights brightens the bedside tables too.

A crisp white ceramic vase accessories one Japanese inspired table.

Wabi-sabi essence is dappled in the concrete bedroom walls.

A unique wall mirror, pouf and timber shelf make up a small vanity area in the corner of the room.

In contrast to soft neutrals throughout the rest of the interior, the bathroom is awash with black.

The kids’ room is a staggered layout of two sleep areas. Two poufs span a large floor rug.

An Ikea PS 2017 table lamp brightens a custom bedside unit.

A comfortable swivel chair and floating desk make a neat kids’ study area.

Floor plan.

40 Stylish Living Rooms That Use Concrete To Stand Out

Modern Rustic Interiors & Contemporary Country House Charm

Cool, Edgy And Comic Book Art Filled Interiors

Edgy comic book art peppers the rooms of these cool home interior concepts, each space imaginatively visualised by Pavel Alekseev. The interiors are designed to appeal to the young homeowner–or the young and wild at heart. Bright colours enliven industrial style backdrops, blazing from eye catching art and sculpture, and slick modern furniture designs. Unique pieces build an offbeat vibe that jostles for attention against chilled concrete floors and rugged exposed brickwork walls. Patinated panels give the modern interiors a strike of interesting aged character and distinctive flair. The eye is led through the spaces, layer by layer, without a single moment of bland.

The ‘superpowered’ living room of home concept number one is a colour rich space with a huge piece of comic art. Modern wall sconces light the piece, along with the expanse of beautifully patinated wall panels behind it.

A wooden bench seat adds natural charm.

A log store is cut into the chimney breast as a tall niche. The modern fireplace stretches along a concrete hearth, flaming behind a glass fireplace screen.

Concrete floor tiles fill the large living room. A swing arm wall lamp extends from a towering concrete column. A Flos Arco floor lamp bows an elegant silhouette across the window.

Red siding is clad on the concrete chimney breast, drawing colour inspiration from the Supergirl artwork on the adjacent wall. An authentic Japanese kokeshi doll takes the red accent to the TV wall.

Turquoise and yellow strike through the room in the form of a double sided sectional sofa arrangement and its contrasting accent cushions. A stunning modern chandelier burns rings of light over the lounge.

A graphic area rug adds a soft spot to the room, along with a number of other rug designs.

Lightweight side tables slot into the gaps between the modern sofa sections, making the whole group easily repositionable.

Gaetano Pesce’s controversial Up armchair poses at the edge of the living room in its red colourway. A low square coffee table lines up in front of the unique furniture.

More modern wall sconces shine down over another contemporary couch, and a cluster of huge indoor plants.

Giant glass cactuses form a fabulously unique room divider.

A modern staircase design rises above the glass room divider. Open risers let daylight push through over wooden treads. Stair lights accompany the climb.

The cactus room divider separates the double sided lounge layout from a formal dining area. A circular rug forms an island for the modern dining set.

The black dining room area rug compliments the depth of the neighbouring black kitchen. A modern chandelier releases pin pricks of warm light over a black kitchen island and attached wooden dining bar.

Waiting comically in the corner of the kitchen, a bright yellow robot sculpture looks ready to serve the table. The imaginative piece uplifts very serious black and concrete grey kitchen decor.

A huge hob extractor unit descends over the central kitchen island, encased in a simplistic minimalist block.

Interior two kicks off with another piece of tribute art to Supergirl. Recessed LEDs spill light over the art’s industrial brick effect background.

Lengths of timber build an attractive TV feature wall with rustic charm.

A light yellow console table is anchored with a punchy black designer table lamp, which is the stylish Atollo lamp.

Metres away, a round coffee table pulls the yellow accent to the centre of the lounge setup.

A smaller coffee table pulls up by the opposite sofa, on top of a two-tone area rug.

Tobacco brown lounge chairs add an earthy tone to the decor palette. Matching accent cushions are scattered across the stone grey sofas.

The rectangular dining table comfortably seats eight on cushioned modern dining chairs. Wicker dining room pendant lights build texture.

Various colour upholstery shakes up the dining set design.

Another seat of colourful dining chairs stand within an L-shaped kitchen design.

A simple glass vase decorates the small dining table.

A patinated kitchen backsplash draws between wooden base units and white uppers. Tall cabinets strike a stronger note in matt black.

The hallway is home to floating storage and vanity units, with undermounted LED ribbons to exaggerate the weightless effect. A large decorative wall mirror cuts a circle into the wood clad wall.

Digital illustration art by dvrkshines peers into the mirror from the other side of the entryway.

Last up, this grey home interior has some very unusual additions.

A hanging seat swings in the lounge, forming a third side of seating without physical bulk and encroachment on floor space.

A unique wall clock puts a fun primary yellow accent onto an exposed brick wall.

There is a mix of styles at play in this apartment. Here, a chic Eames bird ornament is placed right by a humorous oversized Medicom Batman Bearbrick.

Another bear figurine is positioned under the spotlight of a modern floor lamp.

Bug eyes peer up from a novelty magazine holder.

Comic book art explodes from the TV wall. Harley Quinn and Joker figurines stand on a stickered media unit.

Glued to the sticker style, the kitchen is a riot of graphic art.

Paris themed graphic tiles jostle with life across the kitchen backsplash.

No need to collect souvenir magnets with this fridge freezer, the work is already done.

A small bathroom is clad with concrete tiles, contrasting cooly with its hot red brick approach.

Luxury Modern Interior With Unified Wood Clad Decor

Sophisticated walnut wall panels, recessed lighting tracks & perimeter light installations, luxurious black marble volumes and high end furniture make up this modern home interior. The upscale contemporary apartment, visualised by MONO Architects is a grownups only kind of place, where sticky fingers would cause havoc on tinted glass walls, and should steer clear of a low slung contemporary open flame fireplace. The kitchen has been designed to meld with the wood wall cladding, becoming almost camouflaged in the backdrop of the large open plan main living room. The cohesive decor theme runs through into the master bedroom and bathroom, effectively uniting all the spaces together as one free-flowing volume.

Two grey modern sofas are arranged in an L-shape in the lounge, and teamed with a couple of deep moss green accent chairs. The back of one of the couches is equipped with a slide on cuff that supports shelves for books. A series of slender floor lamps surround the living room layout to provide focussed task lighting.

The TV wall is a ceiling mounted volume clad in black marble. The half wall floats above a modern fireplace hearth, where open flame leaps up into the gap between.

A set of nesting coffee tables serve the longest of the two sofas. A couple of area rugs, in subtly different shades, overlap on the floor to pull the large living room layout together.

One small side table stands nearby the smaller of the two couches, next to the hearth of the open flame fireplace. Black scatter cushions match with the occasional tables.

The outermost walls of the room are clad in walnut panelling, which creates a warm and smooth looking skin around the entire home interior. Perimeter lighting highlights the attractive grain.

The floor treatment changes from wood plank to grey tile as it transitions away from the main living room area. Stripes of adjustable track lighting run the length of the ceiling space.

The ceiling mounted tv wall is double sided to serve the dining room end also, and of course, the sophisticated fireplace can be enjoyed from every aspect of the room through its open sides. At the end of the floating TV volume, recessed shelving holds a neat collection of books and nicknacks.

Opposite the dining room stands a kitchen with breakfast bar.

The luxury dining room seats ten for dinner. Panoramic windows bring natural light flooding into the spacious apartment; taupe curtains hang at the glass to keep things cosy at night.

Indoor plants soften the edges of the interior design, and bring in some much needed natural greenery in lack of a real garden view. A tinted glass balcony balustrade obscures a cityscape beyond.

The super modern dining set has been teamed with an equally contemporary lighting installation.

A series of unique kitchen pendant lights hang at various lengths over the kitchen breakfast bar to create an interesting undulating effect. Four kitchen bar stools line up along the marble clad peninsula, awaiting the chef’s creation. The kitchen cabinets behind the counter are finished in the same walnut effect as the interior walls of the apartment, so that it flows seamlessly. Even the kitchen ceiling has been covered to match the wood panelling. Tall wine storage racks are left on display though, with two of them peeping through tinted glass doors.

In the master bedroom, the wood clad walls continue. Cylindrical bedside units flank each side of the fabric covered double bed. A slimline gold pendant lights one unit, whilst the eye-catching bedside table lamp on the other is the Snoopy table lamp.

Large tropical plants dress the airy room, their luscious green leaves contrasting freshly with the rich dark brown decor.

A pale rectangular rug covers the floor beneath the bed, whilst a circular rug marks out a modest sitting area by the windows. Two tan accent chairs meet at a marble and gold coffee table, accompanied by a very tall floor lamp.

An open doorway leads into a walk-in closet/dressing room with a generous amount of space and storage. An upholstered bench seat occupies the centre of the space.

On the opposite side, a makeup table and vanity chair are poised in front of a custom cut mirror.

The dressing room is divided into two domains, one for each homeowner. Rectangular lighting tracks mark each ceiling space.

Dark marble and white tile decorate the luxury bathroom. Another custom made mirror stretches the full length of a long bathroom wall above a double sink vanity unit. Wall mounted storage units stow away the clutter, whilst leaving the floor looking clear, clean and spacious. The orb lights above the vanity unit design are the IC Lights S Style Pendant. The original is available here.

On the opposite side of the bathroom you’ll find the shower, which is backed in black marble and a shallow shelf to hold shampoos and soap dispensers. A rainfall showerhead pours onto a wetroom floor, which is left open to the rest of the room. The tinted glass enclosure you see here has been built to keep the toilet and a matching wall hung bidet separate from the main space; it is accessed by an almost undetectable door at its centre.

A freestanding bathtub stands by the window. A heater towers up an adjacent wall, and a small metallic side table stands by to hold bath time potions – or a nice glass of wine to sip.

Beside the head of the bath, a rail descends all the way from the ceiling to hold a dry towel exactly where it is needed.

Luxury Modern Interior With Unified Wood Clad Decor

Sophisticated walnut wall panels, recessed lighting tracks & perimeter light installations, luxurious black marble volumes and high end furniture make up this modern home interior. The upscale contemporary apartment, visualised by MONO Architects is a grownups only kind of place, where sticky fingers would cause havoc on tinted glass walls, and should steer clear of a low slung contemporary open flame fireplace. The kitchen has been designed to meld with the wood wall cladding, becoming almost camouflaged in the backdrop of the large open plan main living room. The cohesive decor theme runs through into the master bedroom and bathroom, effectively uniting all the spaces together as one free-flowing volume.

Two grey modern sofas are arranged in an L-shape in the lounge, and teamed with a couple of deep moss green accent chairs. The back of one of the couches is equipped with a slide on cuff that supports shelves for books. A series of slender floor lamps surround the living room layout to provide focussed task lighting.

The TV wall is a ceiling mounted volume clad in black marble. The half wall floats above a modern fireplace hearth, where open flame leaps up into the gap between.

A set of nesting coffee tables serve the longest of the two sofas. A couple of area rugs, in subtly different shades, overlap on the floor to pull the large living room layout together.

One small side table stands nearby the smaller of the two couches, next to the hearth of the open flame fireplace. Black scatter cushions match with the occasional tables.

The outermost walls of the room are clad in walnut panelling, which creates a warm and smooth looking skin around the entire home interior. Perimeter lighting highlights the attractive grain.

The floor treatment changes from wood plank to grey tile as it transitions away from the main living room area. Stripes of adjustable track lighting run the length of the ceiling space.

The ceiling mounted tv wall is double sided to serve the dining room end also, and of course, the sophisticated fireplace can be enjoyed from every aspect of the room through its open sides. At the end of the floating TV volume, recessed shelving holds a neat collection of books and nicknacks.

4 Interiors Where Wood And Concrete Meet

Modern Single Story Forest House With Pool in Ukraine

Come with us to this 195 square metre Forest House in Kyiv, Ukraine, designed and visualised by Bezmirno Architects. Past the towering trees, we find the outside of the single story house standing a beautiful combination of wood and stone. The natural materials of the forest house continue inside of the home too, where rich wooden walls make up the majority of the decor. Stacked stone builds one of the fireplaces and a peaceful courtyard forms a majestic core. Besides the beautiful rusticity throughout the interior, the furniture design follows a clear chic and contemporary nature, which makes for a gorgeous mix of modern and natural styles.

Outdoor lounge chairs stretch out on a poolside patio that connects the volumes of the home.

Pool lights shimmer across the waters surface. Post lights illuminate the patio slabs.

Concrete steps climb to an elevated platform along the side of the modern home exterior.

Mature trees tower all around the forest home, shrouding it from the outside world.

A car port stands in the same grey stacked stone and rich wood cladding as the main house.

Another set of concrete steps lead up to the front entrance of the house from the direction of the car port, and of the front pathway.

Some forest trees stand in the grounds of the house, shooting up to the sky from manicured lawns, pebbled pathways and borders.

Cultivated shrubs fill the void beneath the exterior staircase design, and feather the edge of a platform to the home entry door.

Outdoor spotlights twinkle down from wooden shelters above the pool patio.

The recessed spotlights line the edges of each overhang on the building, allowing the entire exterior to be lit up at dusk.

Concrete stepping stones make a pathway around the perimeter of the home, where the homeowners can stroll by the natural stone and wooden volumes of architecture whilst admiring the surrounding forest canopy.

The exterior lighting accentuates the beautiful natural textures used to construct the special home exterior, and the linearity of its composition.

Large floor to ceiling windows slice great chunks out of the walls of the home. Curtains gather at the glass to give shade from the hot sun.

Beyond the gather of white curtains, the interior of the home sports the same wood cladding as the exterior. A modern sofa hugs the wooden walls of the living room, bordering a square coffee table. A linear floor lamp spreads a long line of light over the contemporary couch.

A small black accent chair makes up the other side of the living room, allowing the view of a serene courtyard to be delivered to the lounge with minimal obstruction.

The chimney breast of a modern fireplace is suspended from the ceiling, with LED strips recessed around its anchor point in the rafters. Open flames dance along a wide white hearth below it, adding to the glamorous floating effect. A flat screen TV makes use of the suspended wall space.

On the other side of the unusual fireplace there is a formal dining room. A linear suspension lamp addresses the full length of the table.

The chimney breast on the dining room side is left blank, which gives the dining setup a clean and simple setting.

A white minimalist kitchen with island stands to the back of the dining room arrangement.

The rich wood dining table set matches the deep tone of the wood panelled walls.

Just near the end of the dining room table, the kitchen island is a concrete clad affair, topped with a crisp white worktop. Appliances are set into one wall of full height units that run from window to window along the width of the room.

The courtyard that was viewable from the lounge is also visible in the kitchen diner.

Along with stunning forest views through exterior windows, the interior courtyard design means the main living space is completely surrounded by a revitalising connection with nature.

The courtyard also serves purpose as a divider of interior space; a hallway runs along the opposite side of the courtyard to the living room, which is also where the entry door to the courtyard is situated.

The property also has a self contained living space, which features a lounge and a kitchen diner in one room.

A set of nesting coffee tables is made up of a wood square coffee table overlapped by a similarly proportioned round coffee table in pale stone. Their colour combination perfectly complements the grey and brown tones of the room.

Atmospheric lighting makes the wooden room feel like a cosy cabin, but the sleek grey minimalist kitchen and sofa keep things cool and contemporary.

The fireplace is set into a chimney breast of grey stone–the same stone that features around the modern home exterior.

In the bedroom, a platform bed has integrated side units, topped with designer bedside table lamps.

A huge headboard backs the full width of the bed and attached bedside units to exaggerate the effect.

An ensuite bathroom is accessible through a sliding glass door.

Folded sheet metal makes a media shelf below a wall mounted TV.

The TV wall fronts a walk-in wardrobe design.

Inside another double bedroom, a rustic tree stump side table makes a charactful addition to the forest house.

A grey bed and bed runner is teamed with an earthy brown bed set.

There is a kids’ room onsite too.

A study desk is amalgamated into the TV wall decor.

Stone tiles floor the hallway.

One tree towers right through an opening made in the outer canopy of the house.

Modern Mediterranean Style Interior Design

Envision the sun in the sky and the glittering Mediterranean Sea lapping against a beach just down the road, as we take a long meander through five homes with modern Mediterranean style interior design. In true Med style, much of these homes are decorated with a cooling white backdrop and relaxed neutrals – but these chic spaces offer high-end styling that’s not found in a typical beachside villa. The rooms are uncluttered yet homey, with quality wooden furniture and natural accent pieces. Picking through this gallery of five inspirational home tours, we’ll see a mixture of new and old, like traditional wicker decor put with shiny modern lighting ideas, rustic stone feature walls and contemporary white concrete interiors.

Designer: Office4   Visualizer: Office4   Starting off with a summer house in Rhodes, Greece, we find a beautifully carved wooden coffee table in the centre of a white living room with yellow ochre accents. A macramé wall hanging echoes the natural coloured rectangular silhouette of the coffee table, and adds interest to a crisp white wall.

The modern L-shaped sofa has a built in side table at one end; it’s wooden top complements the other wood tone and natural elements in the room scheme.

The yellow ochre scatter cushions on the sofa are mixed with plain and patterned white pillows to give the room a more relaxed vibe.

A modern chandelier descends over the centre of the lounge area. LED strip lights are recessed into the ceiling and wall at one edge of the room, to distribute extra illumination along its whole length. The lighting strip also defines the walkway through the room, which leads from the entry door, past the lounge and into the kitchen diner.

Wood panelling wraps the lower half of a curvaceous concrete tv wall in the lounge.

A narrow tower of display shelves dress the blunt edge of the curvy tv wall.

Wood slats make a deep frame around a wooden doorway, giving it a unique and cosy effect.

Whitewashed rustic stone builds a kitchen diner feature wall. A tight cluster of smooth metallic dining pendant lights dangle in front of the rough stone wall. A touch of subtle colour is introduced via a pink accent dining chair at the round dining table.

Fruit bowls fill the wooden centrepiece of the white marble dining table.

A circular rattan rug fills the floor of the white L-shaped kitchen.

Moving into the master bedroom we find another rustic stone feature wall, this time with climbing plants forging a green border where it meets the ceiling. LED perimeter lights shine down over the emerald leaves. More soft illumination is cast upward from a wide headboard design, accentuating the white painted stonework. A modern wall sconce glows against the wooden headboard, above a built-in bedside shelf.

A dressing table is positioned opposite the foot of the bed.

The bedroom lighting scheme also includes recessed LEDs below the bed base, and a pair of beautiful bedroom pendant lights suspended at one side.

The bedroom vanity setup that faces the foot of the bed serves as a tv wall on its opposite side.

Duotone curtains hang from a recess in the dropped ceiling.

Back behind the makeup vanity, Hollywood lights border the vanity mirror, which features a jewellery bar at the bottom of its frame. The vanity chair used here is the Wishbone chair.

Designer: Office4   Visualizer: Office4   The second of our five Mediterranean home tours has inspiration for a much narrower living room layout. An L-shaped sofa faces into a modern tv unit, adorned simply with white decorative vases against a white backdrop. Keeping the colour scheme simple prevents the room from appearing cluttered and closed in.

A freeform rug design edges across the room, spreading blocks of neutral colour below a brown pouf, and a wall mounted sideboard against a stone wall.

Six modern dining chairs line up along an unusual marble and glass dining table. A trio of dining pendant lights visually anchor the eating area in the open plan.

Recessed strip lights glow at the centre of the living room ceiling.

Designer: Office4   Visualizer: Office4   Our third stop is a living room with a decidedly circular theme. Rattan baskets dot one of the white concrete walls, a large circular tray holds candles by the sofa, and round coffee tables stand on a round area rug.

The decorative woven baskets are scattered in descending sizes across the blank wall.

Gold pendant lights hang at the end of the modern L-shaped sofa, highlighting its extended concrete base that’s used as a side table for the candles. The media unit opposite the sofa has a matching concrete base–and the same style of black seat cushions make a comfy bench at one end of it, which serves as seating for the dining table.

The dining ‘table’ is a suspended countertop. A pair of dining pendant lights hang low above its surface. Behind, a cane ceiling feature brings rustic texture and colour to the white kitchen.

Visualizer: Amir Cherni   We go next to a highly textured and mood lit rustic abode. The studio layout holds the bed upon a raised level of the open plan space. Down in the lower lounge area, a modern sofa is arranged in an L-shape with its twin.

Uplighters exaggerate a deeply textured stone wall in the living room.

Tree trunk columns tower around the bed, bringing the interior closer to nature.

Two concrete steps lead up to a faux fur covered bed. Rattan bedroom pendant lights hover at each side.

By day the textured decor may not appear quite as rugged but this remains a unique place, with something interesting to admire in every direction. The stonework from the lounge wall ebbs away by the foot of the bed, replaced by white concrete. The plainer walls allow the beauty of the natural log columns to take the spotlight.

Rustic wall decor hangs above the pillows in place of a headboard; a rattan side table echoes the circular form. A raw timber side table matches the bedroom columns.

Mature cacti push a refreshing green accent colour through the room.

Visualizer: Anna Sergeeva   Our last tour takes leave from the rough and rustic Mediterranean style, in favour of a more crisp and contemporary Med vibe. A simple round coffee table stands at a modern sofa in the lounge. At one side of the couch, two unique accent chairs sit as smooth as pebbles on the beach.

Two wooden accent chairs furnish the other side of the lounge arrangement, along with a small side table.

A dual headed swing arm wall lamp provides focussed lighting over the sofa.

Dried pampas grass plumes from a decorative vase; it’s impact is doubled by a decorative mirror propped behind it.

An ultra modern chaise lounge keeps a low profile in front of glass doors, so as not to obstruct the view.

A second lounge area opens up on the opposite side of a modern fireplace. A Vertigo pendant hangs above a crescent sofa.

Figurines decorate a side table.

The dining table set is pushed into the corner where two sets of patio doors meet. With the doors open, this becomes an al fresco dining spot.

The dining room stands open to a kitchen with an island.

Another set of figurines dress the dining table.

Black bar stools contrast with the ice white kitchen island. A white marble kitchen backsplash introduces subtle pattern and movement.

The black kitchen bar stools are complemented by a black decorative vase on the countertop and a black faucet.

Wine glasses sit right at home on an outdoor side table, next to some lounge chairs by the pool.

Patio doors retract to adjoin the interior and exterior spaces.

An olive platform bed features a winged headboard design inside the master bedroom, to keep the sleep space feeling cosy. Two simple wall sconces provide reading light above it.

An indoor plant dresses a plain corner.

The glass vase set on the floating media cabinet are the Échasse vases by Menu.

An artists mannequin poses at the opposite end.

Inside the bathroom, beige and mocha tiles pattern the shower enclosure. A mocha vanity unit floats against a smooth white marble clad wall.

Neutral colours fill a second double bedroom.

A feathered light shade adds a whimsical touch to the room. See more bedroom pendant lights.

Slimline pendants drop at each side of the bed.

A full length mirror is suspended from a rail that spans the width of the room.

Decorative items are displayed inside a wooden tray on the sideboard.

Stunning views stretch out in front of a freestanding bathtub.

A double sink bathroom vanity floats above a pebble floor.

The bathroom door is camouflaged with the wall for a streamlined look.

4 Apartments That Absolutely Nail The Grey Shade

Grey decor has never been so popular. As far as neutral shades go, grey reins supreme right now as a seriously chic and mature choice for homes big and small, from modest to amazing. Grey provides the ideal backdrop for a brighter splash of colour, or can be used as a stand alone shade. These four gorgeous home interiors have a combination of these two approaches. They also couple smooth shades of grey with textured pieces and natural elements for a varied visual, with lighting schemes that add drama and focus attention on special features. Many think of grey as a cold shade, but in these homes it is warm, welcoming and simply gorgeous.

Visualizer: Z Design   This living room is like a dark grey cocoon of cosiness. It is an open plan room where the kitchen runs straight into the dining space and on into the lounge area. Despite the multiple uses of the room, the space feels completely calm and cohesive thanks to one serene colour choice.

A grid of hundreds of niches make up the tv wall decor and a feature wall by the dining spot. Mood lighting creates interesting light and shade over the installation.

The minimalist living room contains a super smooth sofas that are reminiscent of huge grey pebbles. A subtly textured rug adds dimension underfoot, beneath a low level white coffee table.

The dining set is made up of a wooden table and dining benches which bring a beautiful gentle warmth to the whole scheme. A couple of white dining chairs lighten up the set at the head and foot of the table.

A slimline linear suspension light illuminates the eating spot without drawing any attention to itself.

The razor edge of the suspension light almost disappears in front of the light kitchen.

Inside a grey bedroom, the warm glow of an LED strip light cuts the headboard wall in half.

The bedroom lighting promotes a restful atmosphere.

Visualizer: Anna Zarechnaya & Andrei Erokhin   This living room dining room combo illustrates how to use a statement colour against a grey backdrop without overpowering it. This dusky pink shade tends to tone with the grey rather than cancel it out.

Beige has also been introduced to add lighter notes to the room, in the sofa upholstery and a modern area rug.

Raw concrete tv wall decor helps balance out the sweetness of the pink notes. A grey console unit sits beneath the wall mounted tv, blending in with its backdrop.

Above the sofa, a set of pink and grey shelves have been recessed into a nook. LEDs light the shelves. A swing arm wall lamp extends as a reading light over the sofa.
