Light and Dark Apartment Design Inspiration

Many modern apartment designs, including those featured on this site, rely on bright neon pops of color to give the rooms a more playful feel. However, there is always something to be said for the more subdued and sophisticated choice of monochromatic design. In the first of these two urban apartments, both photographed by the ever reliable Hey!Cheese, we can see that black, white, and shades of grey can create an almost zen-like modern atmosphere. In the second home, while dark colors pervade, earthy accent walls manage to warm up the design.


 With a crisp white bedroom that opens up onto a cozy balcony covered in greenery, we see a wonderful space to relax and unwind at any time of day.




 The marble half wall, where an LCD television is mounted, creates a comfortable office nook that is separate from the living area, but not closed off from the house. This makes it easy to forget about work, but equally easy to jump into it comfortably.



 While the kitchen is typically a place that bursts of color find their home, this one has been kept a gleaming white from cabinetry to countertop.

 The light wood breakfast table that is nestled up against the marble bar makes it easy to entertain larger groups, or have a cozy family meal, even without a lot of square footage.








 The massive built-in storage unit in the living room creates a black accent wall when closed, and tons of hidden storage space when every door opens up.







  
Of course, what bedroom is complete with a slightly funky rabbit lamp on the bedside table.

Master on the Main



In the 1970�s a group of architects, designers and engineers began to develop a series of guidelines meant to revolutionize the design of our cities, towns and homes.  They sought an approach to design that would make the built environment more useful to more people for a greater period of time.  They gave voice to the concept of Universal Design.

Now, here we are forty years later and you probably have never heard of Universal Design and you probably don�t care to now.  So I�ll spare you the history lesson, but I will say that even if you haven�t heard of it, you are seeing the concepts of Universal Design infiltrate your home.

Master Bedroom Addition on the Main Level
One of the most commonly requested additions onto a home is the addition of a master bedroom and bathroom located on the main level.  Homeowners have begun to realize the benefits of such an arrangement.  They see the value of having a bedroom space that is accessible without going up or down a flight of stairs or one that is removed from the other bedrooms to provide privacy.  They see what designers who ascribe to universal design concepts have seen all along; that a home with accessible living and sleeping spaces has a much greater appeal to a much wider audience.

This is why most new homes being constructed in the United States have a master bedroom suite on the main level of the home.  It makes good sense and serves a family well through all seasons of life.  For example, when a young family moves into a home, they typically want all the bedrooms grouped on the same level of the house so the parents have easy access to the children.  They also realize that when they have overnight guests, it is best for the guests to be removed from the sometimes chaotic nighttime rituals of young children.  A separated bedroom on the main level of the house is perfect for guests and for aging grandparents to use while visiting.  When the kids have grown and developed their independence, the parents often find that some separation is good for everyone and they move into the main level bedroom suite.  Planned correctly, this main level master suite can also make late night sneak-ins and sneak-outs more difficult.  Finally, when the kids have moved out and now send monthly stipends to their cherished parents, the parents can remain comfortably in their main level bedroom suite.  They don�t even have to heat or cool the upstairs until their children and grandchildren arrive for a visit.  When they do arrive they all get to stay upstairs and the parents maintain their privacy and sanity in their main level bedroom.  Sounds great, right?  Well, this client thought so.

Master Bath Addition on the Main Level
Curbless Shower is Accessible
Here is an example of a renovation project to add a master suite onto the main level of the house.  The homeowners wanted a master suite on the main even though they have a young child whom they want to be near right now.  So this new bedroom suite currently serves as the guest suite for visitors and occasionally a retreat from a snoring spouse.  The bedroom is open and airy with a vaulted ceiling and timber beam accents.  The bay window helps to flood the space with natural light.   

The adjoining bathroom is designed for two.  The double vanity is spacious and provides great storage space.  The walk-in closet is accessible from the bathroom and the shower floor is recessed to allow a zero threshold entry.  The skylight provides natural lighting while maintaining privacy.  Multiple shower heads and a built-in bench seat in the over sized shower provide a soothing place to just sit and relax.

Everything the homeowner needs to live and thrive in this home for years and years to come has been provided.  This simple, yet well designed addition will serve the needs of this family both now and in the future.  It is a design that is customized to the personality and character of the homeowner, yet it takes advantage of universal design elements that can be applied to most any project you have in mind.
