How The Modern Grid Apartment Uses Geometry and Color to Redefine Small-Space Living

The Modern Grid Apartment, a design by Be Esthete Studio and Kate Gavryliuk, feels full of intention. Every line, every color, every surface has purpose. Bold blue cabinetry anchors the layout, and soft light floods the rooms. Warm wood floors add comfort without losing the modern edge. It’s simple, but it stands out. And once you walk through the rooms, the structure of the entire home starts to reveal itself; clean & calm.

The hallway sets the tone for the apartment, where black-framed doorways create clean graphic lines. Warm wood wardrobes stretch across one wall, giving you plenty of hidden storage; their tall black handles echo the apartment’s modern grid theme.

As you move through the corridor, the mix of grey, black, and natural wood stays consistent. The matte-black door blends into the cabinetry wall, with a small wall sconce casting a soft glow. Simple but inviting.

The living room feels easy to settle into. A grey sectional shapes the seating area, also adding balance to the darker shades around. The low blue console creates a striking contrast with the bold black accent wall, and ties the space into the apartment’s signature hue. Oversized windows let plenty of natural light fall onto the warm wood flooring, and the lightly patterned rug brings just the right amount of texture.

The kitchen sits quietly along the wall, keeping the space feeling airy. There’s ample storage but minimal visual weight, thanks to the soft grey cabinetry that runs up to the ceiling.

The countertops and sink faucet are kept minimal so the speckled backsplash can stand out. A slim black shelf sits above it, holding just a few glasses and warm wood accents.

Designers have used the dining table as the focal point here to bridge the kitchen and living room seamlessly. Finally, clever, strategic placement of the statement black lamp gives height to the corner, and the leather seating helps it all come together.

Calmness takes over when you step into the bedroom of the Modern Grid Apartment. Blue is on the lead here, wrapping the headboard wall and the shelving divider in a rich, modern tone. Furniture is kept low to create a relaxed, easy feel.

The tall shelving unit, also a statement feature here, does more than divide the room- it hides the sleek white workspace + provides useful storage without clutter. A trailing plant and a white reading light finish off the decor while adding extra functionality.

Things are looking crisp & modern in the bathroom. Light grey tiles prevent the interior from feeling too boxed-in, while the blue vanity ties back to the palette used throughout the apartment. White subway tiles break up the grey and make the sink area feel brighter.

A simple walk-in shower sits behind a soft grey curtain. The warm LED strip above it adds just enough glow to make the space feel inviting. Fixtures stay sleek and minimal, so the room feels open despite its compact size.
