The apartment — designed by architecture firm Normless — will no doubt have lots of useful design ideas. It is home to a young couple and their newborn girl. The homeowners had requested for a classic atmosphere, so the architects combined this elegant look — made up of chevron flooring and molded walls — with minimalist functionality.

Chevron tiles create “V” patterns on the floor, and is often found in elegant buildings in Europe (especially France). It’s a clever way to give the impression that a room is a lot bigger than it is, as it create an optical illusion to make a space appear wider or longer.

A workspace was carved out in the living room. The dark and natural wood furnishings create a timeless and unfussy look.

The marble dining and kitchen counter feature simple forms. These contemporary touches prevent the classical influence from appearing too dated.

The children’s room also features warm timber flooring and wall moldings. The decorative lamp and wallpaper add a playful ambience.

The master bedroom features a wooden glass divider, much like a classic window frame, that leads to the walk-in closet. This allows natural light to stream in, despite the enclosed space.

Mirrored doors on the wardrobe create the illusion of a space. 

To create a sense of luxury in the bathroom, the designers used white and black marble tiles.

Timber, which is a great element to include when you want to create an inviting space, balances out this luxe factor.
