One of the simple and economical ways to add some character into your home is by adding a splash of colour on the walls.
However, in this case, the designer chose to paint the ceiling of each space in the house a different colour and kept the walls white. Besides giving the house a modern look, this also offers a feeling of spaciousness and comfort.

  • Interior designer: Turn Design Interior

Promote the double height ceiling with a designer light installation. Add a striking carpet and a substantial sofa to anchor the vastness of the living area.
Even with such a big space, it is unwise to use bulky decorations and accessories. Opt for different textures rather than size to keep the look classy and not overwhelming.
