This 155.4 square meter apartment is a quiet haven in the city of Krakow. White microcement walls give the minimalist interior a hint of texture while leaving the overall visual clean and bright. Built-in storage cabinets keep belongings concealed and tidy, while their wood-tone doors add tonal warmth to the white room. Open shelves hold books and decorative knick-knacks.

The TV wall is clad in matching light wood tone paneling to draw the eye through the open plan. A large wall-mounted TV is underlined by a long modern fireplace, which brings movement and light. Open doorways flank either side of the focal wall, offering an uninterrupted circuit around the living space.

Behind the media wall, there is an adjoined kitchen and dining area. In the dining room, a huge, statement pendant light is suspended low over the black dining table. Its huge profile spans much of the six-seater table, spreading even illumination.

The clean-cut kitchen arrangement has a distinctly luxurious essence. Sleek white marble clads the backsplash wall and drapes the central kitchen island with a waterfall countertop. White kitchen wall cabinets keep a clean visual up top while wooden base units merge with the matching flooring.

Under-cabinet lighting spills down the kitchen backsplash, illuminating the marble’s stunning gray vein. Smoked glass carafes add unique decoration.

Track lights and recessed spotlights illuminate the cooking area in the open-plan kitchen diner, leaving the oversized dining room pendant light as the star of the show.

Black wall art adorns the dining room wall, making a punchy dark focal point.

A black balance-arm floor lamp fashions a reading area over the chaise sofa. A round rug complements the curvaceous couch.

At the central kitchen island, a bold black accent comes in the shape of a unique kitchen bar stool with a sculptural design.

A white marble coffee table forms a material link with the marble kitchen installation.

Modern wooden dining chairs are deeply cushioned and upholstered, prioritizing both comfort and style.

In the bedroom, wood paneling builds texture across the headboard wall. A full-length mirror by the bedside reflects natural light into the room.

The home entryway features custom-cut floor-to-ceiling mirrors, which form a space-enhancing backdrop for an entryway shelf. A wooden wall panel backs decorative wall hooks that keep the family’s coats and bags picked up off the floor.

A floating bench adds a cool slice of white marble to the mix. A black front door makes a bold statement in the narrow hallway, complemented by a black mushroom table lamp. Opposite, custom-built storage units complete the entrance hall with warm gray panel doors. The floor-to-ceiling fit creates slots of concealed space for bulky jackets and outdoor kit.

In Saudi Arabia, we discover an elegant apartment filled with neutral cozy living room ideas. Archways give the open-plan living space an intimate atmosphere.

The open archways allow line of sight to travel unobstructed from one area to the next while defining the change in zone.

Sculptural pendant lights shape softly organic forms above a modular sofa and two round coffee tables.

An Oda lamp, designed by Sebastian Herkner, adds mood lighting and flair to a small side table. The lamp stand sets a lightweight, wireframe contrast against the chunky table.

Illuminated steps approach the arched front door, creating a theatrical entryway. A second arched door leads to the private quarters.

A cozy armchair is set in the sunlight that streams through the huge living room windows, making a warm reading spot.

A stone console table is accessorized with black metal candle holders, books, and a pair of table lamps. Each stone lamp stand echoes the table's white, textural finish.
