With a calming colour palette and spacious, open-plan layout, this home has a easy, livable feel. I'm currently deciding on new lighting for our dining area, and the round Japanese paper lights are up there on my wish list. There are some affordable options like the one in this home, but I would be happy to invest in one of the Akari Light Sculptures by Isamu Noguchi. This apartment has two more of my lighting favourites, the Lampe Gras No.210 wall lamp above the kitchen bench, and gorgeous Mobil 100 Pendant light by by Monika Mulder for Swedish brand Pholc in the living room.
The stylish kitchen renovation side by side with vintage dining and living room furniture provides a nice mix of old and new. A generous collection of books and plants further enhance the calm, relaxed feel.
