Interior designer Julie Charbonneau lives in a Montreal, Quebec, penthouse that she designed as an open loft. The contemporary penthouse feels open and friendly, capturing a sense of calm and urban elegance through its bright, carefully edited interior.
Penthouse decorated in neutral tones

The comfortably furnished penthouse apartment impresses with refined interiors and simple decoration. The lounge, dining area and kitchen flow together in a spacious open plan with built-in furniture. The refrigerator disappears into a niche, and the living area opens into a generous hall. The overall feeling is light, calm and simple.

White-painted brick walls make the rooms feel elegant, spacious and bright while adding subtle texture and a studio atmosphere. Personal decorative pieces bring comfort and warmth. Large windows allow plenty of sunlight into the space.
Apartment minimalist

Designer Julie Charbonneau created the penthouse as a place to live and work. The rooms present a thoughtful mix of materials. Concrete columns act as strong aesthetic accents and help divide the open plan into different areas. Glossy white floors and handle-free doors support the minimalist look, while wood paneling in the bathroom adds warmth and comfort.
