A modern home interior with carefully chosen furnishings and design accents.

Ami McKay of PURE Design Inc. has completed the interior design of a modern home in Vancouver, Canada, with carefully chosen furnishings and design accents.

Stepping inside, there’s a small entryway furnished with a wood bench that has a black upholstered cushion.

Adjacent to the entryway is the living room. An abundance of windows allows for natural light to flood the interior and at the same time provides views of the street.

Separating the living room from the kitchen is the dining room. A black dining table with gold accents is anchored in the open floor plan by two glass pendant lights.

Throughout the home, there are heated porcelain floor tiles that look like beachy white-washed wood.

In the kitchen, minimalist wood cabinets provide ample storage and incorporate the fridge, while matte blue cabinets hide the extraction fan and contrast the light backsplash, countertops, and island.

In another bedroom, a pink and white color palette has been chosen. Floral accents adorn the walls, a striped pink rug is located at the end of the bed, and a home work station with floating shelves makes use of a small alcove.

The home has three bathrooms, with the first bathroom acting as the main bathroom. The vanity has been designed with a split layout, allowing a dropped down section between the two sinks. Penny tiles with contrasting grout cover the wall, while the round mirrors complement the hanging pendant lamps, and white subway tiles with dark grout are featured in the shower.
