When you consider the design of an apartment, our recommendation is to keep simplicity in mind, especially if you want the final result to be a bright, airy but also functional decor. And this must be applied to all spaces in the apartment so that the final result will be coherent. To exemplify, we chose to showcase a recently completed project, the design of an apartment in Dubai for a family with a child. They wanted a bright and functional home, a simple and minimalist one, but with pastel accents. The entire space is outlined by minimalist furniture and simple finishes that highlight the rooms, pastel accents and storage solutions in order not to clutter the space.
3-Bedroom Apartment Design in Dubai – Minimalist Decor with Pastel Accents
The kitchen is a separate space, not being openly connected to the living room. In the building’s apartment, the kitchens are not large at all, which made us opt for a furniture made up to the ceiling, with milled handles, in tones of green and white, so as not to weigh down the space. We did all that without giving up the generous storage spaces. The finishes that we used are unitary and simple, perfectly complementing the space.
The living room, complemented by the dining area, features plenty of storage space, both at the TV stand level and at the high furniture level with doors that reach the ceiling. The whole ensemble is not massive at all, but simply treated, with white, handleless furniture, thus becoming the perfect backdrop for the entire space. The overall image of the living room is an airy and tidy one.
Additionally, natural-looking elements, such as the chair legs in the dining area, the dining table, and the wooden ribbing in the TV stand area, create warmth, defining a welcoming, minimalist space. The dining area complements the kitchen in terms of chosen shades – tones of green, white and natural brown. The living room is enhanced by a pale pink sofa that provides dynamism to the space and complements the entire color palette.
The master bedroom is airy, bright and simple. Although the room is small, the warm shades of green, the white of the furniture and the generous window contribute to creating an airy, restful and welcoming environment. The bed is integrated into the white furniture with green accents and milled handles, creating a sense of order.
The child’s bedroom is arranged according to the age and interests of the little one, adapting the color palette. The main color here is pale pink, which we chose for the walls in the bed area, as well as for the ceiling and decorative objects. The room is divided into the rest area where we placed the bed, and the play area, bright and playful, arranged in the same pale pink tones. All the furniture in the room was custom-made and was placed in a manner which allows that the center of the room remains as free as possible.
One of the main requirements of the owners was to arrange a separate room for an office meant for two people. For this space we chose shades of beige and gray, decorating one of the walls with striped wallpaper to give dynamism to the space. The mirror on the wall decorated with wallpaper and the large windows visually enlarge the space.
One of the two bathrooms has a simple design with ceramic finishes, but the wall in the bathtub area features wood-like finishes, giving the bathroom a unique look. The white furniture, with milled handles, was designed in a manner that provides maximum storage. The wooden accents of the furniture give the space a refined and orderly look.
The second bathroom is fitted with ceramic finishes. For the wall in the toilet area we opted for three-dimensional ceramic tiles that provide a spectacular look to the entire bathroom. For additional dynamism, the wall behind the bathtub was fitted with striped ceramic tiles, in two shades – grey and white. Here, we opted for white furniture with wooden accents as well, offering maximum storage and functionality.
In the end, the space is bright, modern and welcoming. This arrangement is proof that generous storage spaces can be achieved even if the rooms are small. The secret lies in the type of furniture chosen. – it should be as discreet as possible, with furniture that serves as the perfect backdrop for the entire space.
