The soft morning sunshine passes through the honeycomb blinds, enriching the warmth and stability of the gray color palette and deep wooden layout. The vivid light and shadow flow like dynamic rhythms bursting into every corner. When night falls, underneath the warm yellow lighting, the homeowner loves to play piano and be enchanted with the beautiful music.



We adopt a gray and white color scheme to set the overall space. For instance, coat the interior walls with a decorative painting-an elegant-textured gray faux finish to present a varied layering look. In addition, pave light-colored wooden floor to correspond with the main tone. Then, exploit dark Walnut veneers with mountain grains to set the TV wall, the wall beside the desk, and the storage cabinets in the dining area. The whole space reveals a strong contrasting charm via the dark and light elements.



We utilize glass sliding doors to set the spatial partitions of the compact, long-patterned layout, ingeniously keeping the residents' privacy and preserving lighting transparency. Moreover, we set up an elevated plain white ceiling that supplements the natural sunshine, excellently bringing a well-lit and spacious view.



We trim the edges of the TV wall with semi-circular shapes to present retro touches and improve safety. Then, we adopt the identical feature to set a sleek transition ceiling of the mezzanine. The streamlined design brings a dynamic perception that seems to echo the melody of the piano played by the homeowner. Also, the wood veneer interior finishes and black iron shelves result in a fashionable and mature style through simple lines and sober colors.



We take both ambiance and functionality into consideration to arrange lighting fixtures. Such as installing LED strip lights above the piano to supplement illumination and serve as ambient lighting to the wall-mounted display shelves. And the recessed stair lights ensure the safety of walking at night. Moreover, we introduce a homely vibe into the chill-toned space via the indirect lighting behind the sofa.
