Classic Contemporary Interior Design Inspirations by Pietro Carlo Pellegrini

This classic contemporary interior design by Pietro Carlo Pellegrini brings new life (and love!) to an old attic of a historic building located in Lucca, Italy. An urban-style living room is occupied by two chic sofas – a regal blue “Mex Cube Sofa” by designer Piero Lissoni and the crisp, white Philippe Starck “Private” sofa – facing the piece de resistance, a black Bisazza mosaic wall dubbed Napoleon, designed by Carlo Dal Bianco. (Love the white Cactus sculpture by Gufram!) Light oak floors and an exposed-beam white-painted ceiling lend the space a Nordic style. Through deceivingly small windows, natural light filters through gauzy white curtains and floods this large space. The kitchen is enclosed behind an ultra-modern folding glass wall. White cabinets line the remaining walls and at the center, a black table-style island provides prep space, a cooktop and eating area. An intriguing blue-lit hallway leads you from the living and dining areas to the bedrooms. The master suite is a dreamy space furnished with a cool, white LIPL bed by Jean Marie Massaud and Cloud end tables by Piero Lissoni. The ensuite bathroom, also a black Bisazza masterpiece, is accessorized by an unusual mirror hovering over a chic Bull stone sink by Antonio Luppi. Inspirations via At Casa

Bathroom Design Idea: Rustic vs. Modern Style

Rustic meets modern in a most unusual place – this unique bathroom design idea, featured by Spanish houseware guru Gunni, is built in what looks like a well-worn attic or barn. The four-piece bathroom suite by Duravit stands center stage of this weathered but beautiful space, bathed in a haze of natural sunlight streaming in through the knotty barn-board walls under exposed-beam ceilings. A flickering fireplace adds warmth and authenticity. The clean, white palette, the cool porcelain and the contemporary minimalist look of the sink, tub, toilet and bidet are an unlikely but ideal complement (or contrast?) to this earthy bathroom with a Zen atmosphere that promotes wellness, meditation, rejuvenation, and of course, good taste. Gunni.

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.

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.
