2. A great way to visually segment an open concept space without being too intrusive, platforms are a stylish addition to your home – just like this minimalist interior. In the kitchen, an island counter that doubles as a dining area helps to save space while creating a more open interior.

3. This kitchen owes its striking look to the use of matte-black laminates that form a perfect contrast with natural wood tones. But what we're really in love with are those dark, stone-look tiles that match beautifully with the kitchen's lightwood carpentry.
