Who ever said minimalism couldn’t be fun? Actress and writer Mindy Kaling proves that minimalist design can be cheerful and comfortable in her beautiful NYC apartment. The home is clad in white walls and pops of color that give it personality. The furniture is mostly mid-century modern pieces that make it stylish, classic, and understated.

Wood tones and pretty textiles bring a sense of warmth to the space despite the streamlined nature of the decor. It’s a great example of how clean lines and lots of white space can feel cozy and charming with the right accents. There are lots of beautiful design elements at work in the apartment, from dark floors contrasting with the white walls to well-placed shapes and patterns that supply plenty of visual interest.

Lots of white makes the apartment feel clean, refreshing, and open while also allowing any colorful accents to really pop.

An L-shaped sofa perfectly fits the living room, offering plenty of seating for entertaining as well as drawing your eye to the beautiful view out the window.

Dark wood floors create a beautiful contrast with the white walls while minimalist modern furniture keeps the small space feeling very open.

The accents Mindy has chosen are eclectic and eye-catching. Simple shapes mixed with vibrant colors make for interesting visual elements that are still streamlined.

Modern elements, like this mid-century console table, are chic and clean.

Simple black bar stools create a striking contrast with the white cabinets in the kitchen. A touch of gold brings some glamour to the space, too.

Deep red accents are warm and stylish in the bedroom, popping off the black and white palette.

I love the interesting arrangement of art on this console table. The one leaning against the wall brings a relaxed feel to it and the decorative items balance it out.

What a great apartment!

Warm regards,
