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.

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.]]> http://www.trendir.com/interiors/gorgeous-living-rooms-ideas-and-decor-by-cattelan-italia.html http://www.trendir.com/interiors/gorgeous-living-rooms-ideas-and-decor-by-cattelan-italia.html Living Room Tue, 19 May 2009 09:13:23 -0600 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. Also by Cattelan, check out these luxury bedrooms ...]]> http://www.trendir.com/interiors/luxury-dining-room-ideas-gothic-decor-by-cattelan-italia.html http://www.trendir.com/interiors/luxury-dining-room-ideas-gothic-decor-by-cattelan-italia.html Dining Room Sat, 16 May 2009 17:40:07 -0600 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.]]> http://www.trendir.com/interiors/luxury-bedrooms-ideas-and-decor-by-cattelan-italia.html http://www.trendir.com/interiors/luxury-bedrooms-ideas-and-decor-by-cattelan-italia.html Bedroom Sat, 16 May 2009 17:30:18 -0600 These dramatic, classic bathroom ideas from Lineatre have a winning theatrical flair. Modular elements are the key to the success of the sumptuous design, allowing you to furnish large or small spaces using the classic bathroom furniture shown here. Totally luxurious, the Gold Modular collection comes finished in a silver leaf finish or a lacquered patina finish with floral embellishments. This richness of hue is carried around these bathroom designs, using the detailing and accessories of another, more refined age. Indeed, the elegant drapes across the tubs and windows are elements we would normally expect to find in a living room. Likewise for the crystal chandeliers, heavy gilt frames and coffee table. Even beautifully upholstered chairs and footstools find their own space in Lineatre’s classic bathrooms. No detail is overlooked – the taps boast crystal knobs, the vanities are marble-topped, and the lampshades are gem-encrusted. Why not live like Royalty?

Two key elements work together to make these bathroom pictures so visually arresting. First, the use of bold and brilliant color. Deep reds and blackcurrants create a rich, sensual flavor; whereas zingy yellows, oranges and pinks have the refreshing effect of a citrus sorbet! Secondly, tiny mosaic tiles are used throughout this bathroom design gallery to give rise to an exceptionally precious look. The mosaic tiles shine in metallic and iridescent shades: eye-catching and practical, too. With their unusual mix of elements, these bathrooms seem truly timeless. Although bursting with the ‘wow’ factor, the design ideas feel entirely livable due to the careful attention to detail. A vase of fresh flowers here, some candles there, and stack of fluffy towels in the corner make these chic bathroom pictures by Delpha the kind of place where we’d like to picture ourselves… Visit Trendir's Home Decor channel for more pictures and information about these modern bathrooms ... ]]> http://www.trendir.com/interiors/bathroom-design-ideas-gallery-chic-bathroom-pictures-by-delpha.html http://www.trendir.com/interiors/bathroom-design-ideas-gallery-chic-bathroom-pictures-by-delpha.html Bathroom Fri, 01 May 2009 08:31:52 -0600 This amazing modern bar design in Lima, Peru features a number of unique and totally unconventional elements that really make it stand out. Chilean architect Felipe Assadi's design, El Tubo occupies one of Lima’s historical sites – an abandoned building, circa 1820. Here, old meets new in what is now an elegant, ultra modern space. The tube-shaped structure for which the bar is named features modern rounded corners, and has been drilled with holes to allow a gentle violet light to permeate the space. Inside, this long funky volume houses everything abstract – a simple, clean-lined, white bar complemented by minimal bar stools and chairs. Overhead, a collection of contemporary lighting fixtures is a sculptural, artistic addition, creating a stunning focal point. Underfoot, loose gravel makes an ultra-chic and unexpected natural statement. Mimic the design at home, or draw from the architect’s ideas to create your own stunning entertaining space at home, or simply contact Felipe Assadi. ]]> http://www.trendir.com/interiors/amazing-modern-bar-designs-ideas-by-felipe-assadi.html http://www.trendir.com/interiors/amazing-modern-bar-designs-ideas-by-felipe-assadi.html Modern Bar Sun, 05 Apr 2009 15:59:40 -0600 Get great ideas from these hot pink bathrooms by Laufen.

So different, yet each so luxurious… In the first design shown here the glamorous shower takes centre stage – quite literally – surrounded by dramatic red drapes. Located within the bedroom itself, the heavy, sensual drapes further separate the showering area and provide a touch of privacy. The Piatto oversized circular shower base adds to the impact with its unusual lightweight aspect. Turned up at the edge, the shower plate practically floats. Next, Kaldewei focuses on the relaxing effects of colored built-in LED lights in a whirlpool bathtub. The modern, rectangular bathtub has a stone finish that blends it into the wall itself. An attractive slated panel also continues around the room from over the tub to unite the decor. The whole corner area is illuminated from the LED light within the Vivo Turbo bathtub, adding a futuristic ambiance. The last featured bathroom idea from Kaldewei involves a lot of water everywhere. This bathroom looks simply amazing – water within water within water. The seascape outside is the beginning. Then, there is a shallow pool which unites the inside and outside. And finally, the Bassino bathtub appears to be floating in this pool, giving a sensation of boundless freedom to bathing... ]]> http://www.trendir.com/interiors/bathroom-design-ideas-from-kaldewei.html http://www.trendir.com/interiors/bathroom-design-ideas-from-kaldewei.html Bathroom Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:28:07 -0600 Unify your luxury interiors with matching light fittings… a great concept in these modern lighting ideas from Italian company, Lamp.

A private courtyard or garden can take on an air of intimacy and beauty with the right lighting and furniture. It’s so unusual to see a lamp with a traditional shade outdoors – but these resin glass shades are made to withstand the weather.

Or, line a path with a row of the standing lamps to welcome and guide your guests. Simply add some casual, yet classy chairs to complete the look. The chairs shown here combine a certain elegance with an open, criss-cross construction – a look which complements the refinement the Miami light can add outside.
