With a simple, minimal style, the interior of this Italian home cuts back on both color and excesses. White is the go-to hue here with furniture in darker colors bringing contrast and anchoring the open living space. A fireplace made of Pietra Pernice enhances this idea of dark and lighter tones coming together even as an ultra-modern kitchen filled with natural light and the bathroom benefit from the presence of Bianco Thassos tiles.

Beyond the use of both natural and composite marble finishes, it is the cheerful, classy and sophisticated vibe of this Italian home that stands out visually.
