Modern Bathroom Idea from Jacuzzi - Aura Bath is your choice for relaxation

Overall, there is something chic, urban and faintly Oriental about this modern bathroom idea from Jacuzzi. The rectangular shape of the Aura bath gives it an exotic, Eastern feel, as does the black rim that puts the idea of a piece of exquisite lacquerware in mind. Decking allows the bathtub to be recessed and creates a dramatic touch… The ascent to the decked platform on which the bath is mounted gives a sense of ritual, and cares melt away as you slip into the water. Stark black open shelving provides a sophisticated and inclusive divider from the bedroom. Echoing the geometric shape of the tub is the Aura sink, which is itself mounted on a high-gloss platform to great effect. The combination of red and black also reveals the bathroom’s Eastern inspiration, but with a touch of olive green, the look becomes distinctly urban… the colors complementing the cityscape out the window!

Bathroom Design Idea from Jacuzzi - Versa bath

It’s clear that this bathroom design idea from Jacuzzi is for living in, not just for looking at! The centrepiece of the bathroom is, of course, the gorgeous Versa bath which is raised up on a plinth to accentuate its status. The Versa bath is a contemporary whirlpool bath which offers powerful Jacuzzi jets for a hydromassage experience. You can fully recline in the generously sized bath and rest your head on the comfy, contrasting headrests. Lighting plays a key part in this bathroom design; the wall behind the bath reflects the lighting on the opposite wall for a subtle but illuminating effect, and the Hollywood-style mirror with light bulbs all round adds a touch of glamour which is also highly practical. The red wall gives a spicy theme colour which is picked up on all over the bathroom for a unified look. Bright and bold, this welcoming bathroom design is from Jacuzzi.

Bathroom Design Inspiration from Jacuzzi - Morphosis bath

The amazing, futuristic Morphosis bath inspired bathroom design pictured here is presented by Jacuzzi. A fascinating and unusual room, most striking of all here is the floor which incorporates two very different looks: a smooth, shiny surface cuts into the more rustic grey, wooden flooring for a paradoxical coupling. The Morphosis bathroom is a place of development, and changes happen as you move around the clearly delineated areas of the bathroom. The basin and the toilet/bidet areas are separated each by their own curved wall, which further separate the bathtub area. The Morphosis bathtub stands alone against the curved outer wall of the room, which features regularly spaced rectangular windows all around. It stands out in its gleaming whiteness against the muted colours. An interpretation of the bathroom that has a singularly strong impact: the Morphosis bath design from Jacuzzi requires a shift in your beliefs of what is really possible!

Patio Design Idea from Paola Lenti - The Dominance of the Gray

The color gray brings to mind pebbles, stormy skies, and seagull’s wings. Indeed, soothing shades of gray are anything but boring. A patio design from the Paola Lenti Aqua Collection proves gray can be endlessly intriguing with stunning pieces of furniture that create a calming, earthy feel outdoors. Sofas from the Cove and Frame product lines look welcoming and shady in the midday sun. Soft textile floor coverings in different textures complement the natural aged gray of an old wooden floor, as well as a contemporary concrete floor. The whole theme accentuates the rustic beauty of the rough stone walls; they draw attention as the viewer begins to appreciate the subtle variety of hues and textures of each individual stone. Who would have thought gray could be so fascinating? A gorgeous grey patio style that grows better every time you look – with furniture and floor coverings by Paola Lenti.

Dramatic Kitchen Interior Design by Alessi - Rustic and Ultra Modern combine

The look of this remarkable kitchen interior would work well in an art studio or loft, with the unexpectedly exciting pairing of rather rustic and ultra-modern! A great example of the hot trend of mixing the very new with the very old, we see a bright and shiny, totally up-to-date Alessi kitchen against pale, mottled, unfinished walls. The contrast in age is heightened with the dated brick fireplace in the corner, which also brings a certain coziness to the kitchen. The slightly battered wooden floors that may have seen better days now possess a charm and character that a newer floor wouldn’t develop for many years. High-tech equipment including the television and satellite dish, however, bring us firmly back to the 21st century. A dramatic kitchen interior design for those who respect the past, but relish the now.

A Place to Meet: Interior Design Inspiration from Eldridge Smerin Architects

Do you dream of a living space entirely free of distractions? This inspired interior design from Eldridge Smerin Architects is totally free from unnecessary complications. The Zen-like simplicity will grow on you, as you focus only on the most important thing: the people around you.

Innovative Kitchen Concept by Lago - the 36e8 Kitchen Suites

Have fun creating your kitchen! Lago has released an innovative kitchen concept that draws on creative forms and dimensions to shape your kitchen. These 36e8 kitchen "non-kitchen" suites are incredibly attractive, not only in their stunning colours and sleek surfaces, but also in their versatility: The Lago storage units can be positioned horizontally or vertically and can be combined in a variety of ways to create your perfect kitchen. For example, you can stack the units like building blocks to produce forms such as trees, lobsters, etc! Thanks to extra-clear plate crystal supports, the bases can also be suspended and can extend into the middle of the room, creating the illusion of a floating counter. The design also incorporates the use of the N.O.W (Not Only White) system through the accessories and equipment, as well as through the possibility of internal integration of refrigerators and ovens. The premise of these innovative kitchen suites resides in warmth and practicality, and seeks to remove the over-loaded kitchens of the past.

Finish custom-made fireplace from NunnaUuni: kitchen - fireplace concept

Ready for an evening dinner by the fireplace? This NunnaUuni custom made fireplace, inspired by the open fireplaces seen in ski resorts in Central Europe, is so much more than a source of heat and visual beauty – it creates a spectacular centrepiece in this rustic home. The texture of the stone stands out proudly against the warm tones of the wood and tiled floor. What makes this design so special is the placement of the fireplace – right in the middle of the space. This allows for the back end of the fireplace to be utilized for some other means – in this instance, a kitchen. In fact, a ceramic range has been installed at the back of the fireplace, with the chimney hood mimicking the fireplace chimney. This back-to-back setting is not only practical, it is visually appealing in its mirror effect of contemporary versus nostalgic.
These particular pictures are from a villa on the shore of Lake Saimaa in Finland.

Unusual Contemporary Bathroom Design by Bette

Lie back in this glorious tub and relax in a bathroom that makes you want to stay forever. The eye-catching uniqueness of this space lies in the raised deck made of wood slats, which give a sauna or spa quality to the bathroom. The wood warms the room as opposed to traditional tile and offers a pleasing visual effect in the lateral placement across the room. The Bette sinking tub – which is quite honestly, extremely inviting – boasts fabulous modern fixtures with a touch of LED lighting in combination with natural light from the windows to set the mood. The unenclosed shower stands open and off to the side, with all the attention focused on the tub. Red cube ottomans offer a luxurious pampering area and add a bit of colour to this tranquil and soothing personal spa. This design is by Bette
