This city apartment distills coastal tranquility into a minimalist urban retreat, designed for a young couple craving warmth and comfort. A symphony of layered lighting—curtain rail LEDs, bedside wall lamps for reading, sculptural floor lamps, and discreet downlights—replaces harsh overheads, casting a perpetual golden-hour glow. The electric fireplace adds both visual and physical warmth, while a palette of warm whites, oatmeals, and whisper-light blues evokes breezy serenity. Custom bleached oak joinery and linen textiles bring organic texture, with built-ins maintaining clutter-free calm. The result? A space that feels like a deep exhale—where every detail whispers relaxation without literal coastal motifs.
