Even for the most design-minded, it can get tiring to look at beautiful spaces that feel like they would be impossible to actually live in. But luckily, beautiful design does not have to be minimalist or impractical. It is possible to design a home that has plenty of storage for more than 3 shirts, that has pops of pretty colors but plenty of clean surfaces that are both attractive and useful. In this post, you’ll get to take a look inside a home from the design team at Nordico with photography from Hey!Cheese Photography . The house uses a lot of white, but does not have the monochromatic offputting style that some designs do. Instead, the space is practical. It is so easy to imagine coming home to this design, sinking into the sofa, and living a comfortable but stylish life.

Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.

2. Add Wooden Elements
