Inspired by the life aquatic, this contemporary bathroom features a new ceramic tile collection by Italian designer Franco Pecchioli that’s sure to provide you with some great ideas. For your inspiration, we've included many images with the amazing tile designs ... Drenched in vivid oceanic shades of aquamarine speckled with black and white, the bathroom is bathed in the soothing tones of the deep. Bringing water and earth together, these ceramic bathroom tiles incorporate organic materials like metals and mosaics for a raw yet refined look. The layering of pattern and color – one of the year’s hottest trends – comes to life in this chic space. Square tiles adorn floors and walls, while mosaic motif tiles add further interest to the walls. Surrounding this amazing sink and matching fixtures by Ideal Standard, a continuous aquamarine slab countertop features a glossy, wet finish that resembles the water’s surface. The piece de resistance of this elegant bathroom is the bathtub, finished inside and out with a blend of mixed motifs – ceramic slabs on the exterior, square ceramic tiles lining the interior, and flower-pattern tiles at the very bottom.

Although undeniably glamorous, these gorgeous living rooms ideas by Cattelan Italia don’t shout… they whisper sensuously into your ear. Much is made of period features and ornate detailing - but the look remains youthful and fresh. Colors are muted, rich, precious… warm beiges and crisp whites paired with mysterious blacks and velvety browns. Walls and furnishing blend together to give a feeling of space, and grand framed mirrors add to the effect, brightening the living space. Ornate and sophisticated patterns are used sparingly. The larger-than-life grandeur of the living rooms come though with Cattelan Italia’s characteristic attention to detail. Gorgeous crystal lamps cast sparkle around the room. Sofas are peppered with cosy cushions ready to sink into. Free-standing classical sculpture accents the period moulding, fireplace, staircases, and other classic features of the rooms. Sumptuous living room decor ideas that you'll love to entertain in, by Cattelan Italia.

A lingering hint of contemporary gothic pervades these luxury dining room ideas by Cattelan Italia. Black and white color schemes throughout simply demand attention… hints of sparkle add glitz and glamour. Imposing chairs and large tables offer an unexpected combination of angles and curves; the jutting metallic legs of the furniture are topped with ball-shaped protuberances. But this is a very modern gothic concept – each dining room decor idea offers startling contrasts. In the first look, it is the nature references that catch you off guard. A long painting of a reptile and a poised-to-pinch crab sculpture add an element of danger. Next, a huge black and white photo portrait contrasts with the highly ornate, delicately sculpted ceiling. Elegant, contemporary crystal chandeliers deliver a dazzling, heavy opulence to the dining rooms. Decor that is once seen and never forgotten… we love the dramatic impact and tantalising detailing.

Step into a modern fairytale with these luxury bedroom ideas by Cattelan Italia. Everything is on a grand scale here – oversized beds that look just like ‘grown-up’ sofas take centre stage! These bedrooms decor ideas are, of course, all about the beds… portrayed as pristine, yet subtly sensual. Massive, sumptuous details such as huge mirrors, floor lamps and regal statues complete the look. All is rendered in subtle hues of white, ivory and biscuit, so as to focus attention firmly on the luxurious materials used for drapes and upholstery. A touch of gold and silver is splashed here and there – in the form of cushions, weaves and patterns to add an overall richness. A versatile look, you can translate the ideas to a traditional country house setting - complete with wall and ceiling mouldings, or keep it simple in a contemporary urban apartment. Either way, these bedrooms will set romance free.
