HollyC Estudio Guto Requena has created a real urban style interior design in Sao Paulo. Exposed concrete, concrete spiral stairs, fully white tiled kitchen, bright yellow dining table, zig zag fluorescents, vintage decor, wood paneled ceilings, special ambient lighting, ultra modern pieces alongside shabby ones, pink rubber duckies, an out of this world shower and a secret bathroom in the master suite - this apartment is just overflowing with unique ideas and fun details. It's a hip, relaxed yet highly stylish sort of interior - gritty and glamorous design all at once.]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2012:/interiors//5.6084 2012-02-10T01:44:45Z 2012-02-10T01:44:44Z

HollyC The fun kids room designs you see here were created by Dan Pearlman for the kids' psychiatry ward at a German hospital - a great example of thoughtful, appropriate and wellness promoting design. Architects worked along with doctors to devise this interior concept that facilitates communication and promotes comfort and enjoyment. The goal is to avoid this clinical atmosphere and instead introduce color and life. The color scheme is what struck me right away. On a backdrop of neutral colors, green, orange and blue play the major roles. With good reason, too. Green, orange and blue are all colors that have been linked to calmness, healing and cooperation - the perfect message you want to be sending in such a space. Notice there is no purple or fire engine red. Purple is an introspective color and bright red is very exciting - so you can see these are not appropriate colors for this environment. Next, the furniture choices are great - soft, curved, modular, playful - allowing for an adaptable, safe, and lively yet comfortable environment. These room designs are so great, and really appropriate for any kid - in a hospital, at home or at school.]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2012:/interiors//5.6141 2012-02-10T00:31:54Z 2012-02-10T00:32:37Z

HollyC It's the colorful personality of this Barcelona apartment that jumps out at you first, and that offers many interesting ideas. All kinds of lively hues coexisting harmoniously with each other and with the equally lively diversity of patterns and shapes. It would be safe to assume that this design combination may end up looking a bit chaotic, but the neutral white walls and tall ceilings of this space help to keep things in check. If you look carefully, you'll see that all the bold colors and patterns come mainly from the decor (rugs, pillows, art...) - most of the furniture is white and neutral with the exception of a few accent pieces. You could spend quite some time absorbing all the details here. For example, it took me a little while to discover it and I don't want you to miss it, but notice the pattern on the stairs? Upon further inspection (on the architect's website), I realized that the only the tread holds the pattern, which is then reflected by the mirrored risers. That's right, the risers are covered by mirror. It's a great idea that impacts the whole room. This very interesting space was designed by Miel Architects. via: MiCasa.]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2012:/interiors//5.6113 2012-02-09T06:23:55Z 2012-02-09T06:23:26Z

HollyC The curtain design in this modern home gives it a real elegant vibe, even though it's clearly quite a simple concept. The long, sheer, flowing curtains (found consistently throughout the home) create this soft drama and unify the individual spaces. The curtains frame some extremely beautiful views, while at the same time responding to the breezes, blurring the distinction between the outdoors and the interior. The space is open, transparent and flowing - that feeling is enhanced but the curtains ... they play a big role. Imagine the spaces without them. See? This sophisticated home was designed by Burgers Architecture Inc.]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2012:/interiors//5.6104 2012-02-09T06:12:11Z 2012-02-09T06:12:28Z

HollyC Sometimes there's an image that just captures your attention and you are instantly in awe - like this kitchen design displaying major wow factor. A shiny pink backsplash against the clean white linear kitchen. The orchid ties in perfectly and that funky, yet delicate chandelier is quite something. This kitchen shows that modern minimal need not be boring and cold. This design is totally fun (mr. octopus seems to agree) , in an elegant, sort of grown up way. We are really enjoying it. This kitchen and the house it belongs to was designed by Metaform. via 2Modern.]]>
