Fresh, clean, airy and spacious, a white decor scheme achieves all of these desirable aesthetics but can sometimes project a cold and sterile environment. With that said, there are plenty of ways in which to offset the coolness of the clean white colour palette, and these two inspirational home interiors demonstrate one of the most subtle approaches to the task. In order to gently warm the look without compromising the minimalist mood, these white interior designs incorporate areas of light wood tone and a delicate blend of beige accents. Dainty black anchor points weight the breezy white decor palette in tiny doses, just enough to sharpen and define.

Measuring 140 square metres, this modern apartment in Chisinau, Moldova, features a white interior with industrial-style concrete statement walls. A modular sofa threads a warming beige accent through the centre of the open plan living space. Wood effect kitchen cabinets match the mellow hue.

Opposite the modern sofa, a TV wall is clad with attractive wood grain panelling to increase the visual temperature, and to neatly conceal media storage.

White upholstered dining chairs and an ice white dining table keep the look uber clean and bright over by the floor-to-ceiling windows. White wire mesh dining room pendant lights perfectly complement the airy aesthetic.

A luxurious white marble backsplash builds a half-height room divider between the living room sofa and a kitchen peninsula. A linear suspension light draws an even line of illumination along the kitchen countertop and provides reading light to the couch at the same time.

The pure white kitchen comes to an abrupt stop at a bold, raw concrete statement wall. A black shelving unit and black appliances add visual weight to the spacious white room.

The layout flows openly into the first bedroom.

A whisper of grey plays across the upholstered bed, which draws a colour connection with the raw concrete wall treatment. A modern wall light strikes a strong black line against a white headboard wall framed with traditional panel beading.

There is a portiere to give privacy to the bedroom when desired.

A low, linear bedside table lays subtly upon the oak floor boards.

Heavy drapes add an exaggerated sense of comfort into the cool bedroom design scheme.

The second bedroom in the apartment is lined with beautiful wood slatted wall panels.

The textured wall panels also provide a practical function, in that they provide acoustic value in the bedroom’s second role as a piano room.

In the third double bedroom, a yellow 4 poster bed hits like a beam of sunshine into the surrounding white and grey decor scheme.

Bespoke storage cabinets float above the bedside unit in a clean white finish.

Smooth grey wet walls in the shower area provide peaceful contrast with modern matt white shower fixtures.

The grey wall treatment flows around onto the adjacent wall, where a simple white wall hung toilet and bidet set are coordinated with a white vertical radiator

In the second of our two white interior designs, a wooden coffee table provides pleasing visual warmth.

A black and white woven area rug adds visual weight underneath the wood table.

Beige ceramic bud vases arch across the tabletop.

A wooden dining set establishes a material link with the coffee table across the open living room dining room combo.

Across the room, a modern media unit stripes a moment of wood tone across the TV wall. The contemporary little lamp on the console is the Ware table lamp by MSDS Studio for New Works.

The living space flows directly into a wide hallway that leads to the home entryway.

An entryway bench and full length mirror make up a convenient dressing area at one side of the entry hall.

Built-in units stow away coats and bags

Back inside the kitchen diner, the round wooden dining table makes gentle contrast with a streamlined white kitchen.

A slimline dining pendant light keeps a low profile.

Beige drapes fall in luxurious folds at the dining room window.

A modern carafe, glass tumblers, and fruit bowl make a simple table centrepiece.

Black kitchen fixtures and integrated appliances punctuate the white minimalist kitchen.

A black console table, unique pendant light, and monochrome artwork fashion a smart vignette against a clean white entryway wall.

Black mini pendant lights flank the bed in the master.

The slender light stems drip brief contrast around a white upholstered bed and a plain white headboard wall.

A floor lamp matches with the stark black finish of the bedside pendant lights, and provides task light over a home workspace.

In the bedroom entryway, a full length mirror increases the sense of space

A black bedside table stands at each side of the room, complemented by a black and white area rug beneath the bed.

The walk-in wardrobe is a cosy cocoon of wooden closet units.

Wood slatted panels texture the bathroom vanity area, adding a honey coloured hue behind a clean white basin and a black bathroom mirror.

A beige modern bathroom vanity storage unit melds easily with the wood backdrop.

The wood slatted wall treatment returns in the shower room, behind another racetrack-shaped vanity mirror and a unique pedestal sink.

Concrete tiles subtly contrast the white wall hung toilet, and provide a cool industrial-style base for a contemporary black-framed shower enclosure.
