Transforming Minimalism: A Modern Apartment with Character

Minimal and boring? Not anymore… and this apartment shows us how. Its clean lines and neutral color palette are complemented by clever design choices, making it an apartment with real character. Think organically flowing shapes and attractive patterns, bringing the otherwise minimalist space to life. Pasteli Interior Design’s expertise in modern minimalism truly shines in every corner of the apartment!

As you walk into this apartment, you will be greeted by a welcoming living room. The main feature is a large, chunky sofa inviting you to sink in. Mismatched, textured, and colored cushions add character to the setting. This is paired with a small table, perfect to hold the book you’re reading. The entertainment complex features a textured wall, with the television mounted on top.

Behind the living area is the open kitchen and dining space. This features a textured wooden dining table paired with sleek white chairs. The beige backdrop accentuates the matte black lighting fixture—coming together to form a subtle focal point.

This compact bedroom maintains visual interest with the patterned wall. The secret to keeping the space from feeling overwhelming? Using a neutral color scheme—even with bold patterns. We see a small bed and bean bag for seating, while the standout feature is the workstation, featuring a brown and white desk topped with a flowerpot lamp. The ergonomic chair is great for working hours on end. Finally, character is added through the uniquely shaped bookshelves holding books.

Bedrooms don’t need to go overboard with accessories to look interesting, and this space shows us how. The ambiance is incredibly futuristic, especially with the illuminated circular wall art pieces. These lighted disks feature soft shades of green and white.

Plenty of texture is added through the plush rug and headboard as well as similar framing for the mirror. The curved ends, as seen on the cabinetry and mirror, evoke feelings of calm and relaxation. With the large windows and translucent draperies, the room remains nice and bright.

A (pleasantly) dark aspect is added to the apartment with this intriguing room. A pair of pendant lights hang in front of the brown accent wall. This is paired with a potted plant and plenty of natural light, adding some much-needed natural elements. Next to the window is a plush white accent chair and floor lamp—making for the perfect reading corner.

The standout feature in this bedroom is the walk-in wardrobe. This features open shelving, displaying all the residents’ belongings. The wardrobe is segregated from the room with a sleek mirror.

Terrazzo flooring sets an interesting base for this bathroom. This is paired with striped tiles for the walls. These direct the eye upwards, creating an illusion of a taller ceiling. We see a sleek, longitudinal mirror paired with a wall-mounted vanity. The shower cubicle uses glass—keeping water from splashing over other parts of the bathroom while still allowing you to see through. These are all smart tricks to visually open up compact spaces.

A sleek and modern bathroom sure can’t get any better! The secret to that spa-like feel is the freestanding tub. And the stylish alcove behind the toilet (with backlighting) is as stylish as is functional! A special mention for the terrazzo tile feature wall. Talking about adding soft tones—with just a few darker flecks.
