This project showcases a minimalist whole-house customization design. Join BOSNIE’s editorial team as we walk you through this inspiring case study.
The entryway is very small—just one square meter—making it impossible to fit a large cabinet for storing the shoes of our ‘centipede spirit.’ Instead, we carved out a compact wall-mounted entryway cabinet.
The living room faces south and enjoys abundant natural light. Even in winter, warmth radiates through the glass windows. The ceiling features a perimeter soffit with three sets of overhead lighting: a linear fixture above the TV console provides soft, diffused ambient light; three dual-head surface-mounted spotlights highlight the coffee table area; and black wall-washer lights illuminate the mural.
The TV console spans the entire wall. To avoid the oppressive feeling of fully enclosing the TV within cabinetry, we opted for an open shelving design above the screen—finished in black—to create a more spacious, airy impression. This eliminates any sense of visual weight on the TV and offers space for curated decorative objects that add personality and charm.
The dining area includes a sideboard cabinet, designed specifically to house kitchen appliances—making it convenient to reheat meals, brew coffee, or steep tea.
From the living room, you can see into the dining area—and also catch glimpses of the entryway and the powder room’s dry zone. Though we initially fretted over the slight level difference between the dining and living areas upon taking possession of the property, the finished result reveals how this subtle elevation change adds welcome visual depth and dimension.
Kitchen
A full-width wardrobe runs along the foot of the master bed, divided by a black open shelving unit: the left section serves the female homeowner, the right the male homeowner. Though there’s no dedicated walk-in closet, the custom-designed internal layout—paired with thoughtfully selected storage accessories—ensures all clothing remains neatly organized.
The bathroom features strict dry/wet separation. Since the female homeowner prefers not to use a shower enclosure, we installed only an ultra-thin-framed, ultra-clear glass panel as a minimalist, transparent partition.
That concludes our presentation of this minimalist whole-house customization project. If you enjoyed it, feel free to leave a comment or message BOSNIE’s editorial team—we’d love to hear from you!
