Pink accent kitchen

In the Scandi-inspired kitchen, the walls are clad entirely in white tiles. The sleek white countertop further adds to the polished look of the space. As a way to brighten things up without being too loud, the designers painted the ceiling as well as the tile grouts in pink, giving the cooking space a wow factor.

“With an all-white, glossy kitchen, there’s a risk of it looking stark and clinical. However, we didn’t want to put too many colours in a small cookspace, so we applied just enough pink to spruce up the space,” say the designers. “As one of the owners loves cooking and adores the colour pink, this was the perfect place to infuse this feminine colour.”

Soft colour tones in bedroom

The colourful approach continues in the master bedroom, but only tranquil shades were used. Here, woody tones and soft textures work together harmoniously, conjuring an atmosphere of serenity.

The bedroom is kept simple yet stylish via the use of an open wardrobe system that comes with cabinets painted in grey.
