Sharp black & grey decor is a go to in modern interiors, but sometimes comes across a little cold and harsh. We don’t have to turn our back on the monochrome palette, but we can introduce a softer hue into the mix… Soft pink is a colour that represents peace, compassion, love, and nurturing. It’s easy to go overboard on a good thing though, so how do we introduce such a sweet shade without compromising the confidence of a darker design? The trick is to balance out pink accented rooms with a generous anchor of black and graphite, just like this smart 110 square metre family home interior, designed and visualised by Interior Workshop.
A pink dining set centres in the modern living room design, which sports a predominantly black and white base. However, the corner of the room comes alive in pink ribbed panelling that melds into gathered drapes of the same salmon pink hue. A black wall sconce dots a modern pattern down the colourful wall feature, and highlights its deep texture.
A charcoal L-shaped sofa creates a dark anchor around the base of the pink feature walls, along with a grey area rug that helps visually separate the lounge from the dining area. The wall opposite is occupied with a fitted kitchen. Dark cabinets are sleek and handle-free to build a streamlined look along the limited space.
A large projector screen drops down in front of the kitchen. The projector unit itself descends on a platform that stores inside a ceiling recess.
Coordinating artwork strengthens the colour theme of the room.
Grey concrete builds an elongated hearth for a modern fireplace. A log storage cube slots in beside the stove.
A fireplace screen could come in useful when smaller family members are running around.
Grey kitchen cabinets and a black backsplash balance out the depth of shade in the facing lounge. The pink dining set becomes a colourful core that the whole room design revolves around.
The round dining table stands on a ribbed column that ties in identically with the panelling behind the sofa. Use of coordinating materials creates a ripple of harmony across the room.
Cylindrical legs and backrests on the modern dining chairs continue the commonality.
An optical illusion wall mural brings added depth and dimension to a dedicated meditation room on the ground floor. Realistic pebble pillows stack and scatter on the floor to bring in an element of nature.
The living room’s concrete hearth rounds the corner to become the first step in a modern staircase design.
Upstairs, more ribbed panelling creates a pink bedroom border. The panel stretches across a headboard feature, and links with a row of pink base cabinets on the adjoining wall.
Stacked books and a Marshall speaker sit safely behind the raised lip of a shelf, set on top of the pink cupboards. A green hanging plant adds an extra shot of colour to the mix.
A neat black bedside table is just large enough to hold the book that’s currently in progress–and a pair of reading specs.
The kid’s bedroom is a super stylish space set in graphite grey, and a circular shape theme. The bed hides away behind a partially dividing wall, where a round cutout window reveals an upper bunk for added play. A grey ladder scales to the top of the tower.
Behind the dividing wall, we discover a cosy hideout held safe by a rope screen. Small modern wall sconces light the bed below the play platform, and show off a pink headboard.
