Interior Design Inspiration from Paola Lenti - transparent living room

Another refreshing interior design from Paola Lenti Atollo collection – this living room lets the outside take centre stage inside! A transparent glass wall means that the beautiful view outside is visible from anywhere in the room. Perfect for entertaining, a long, neutral sofa is positioned to occupy the entire room, matching the ‘U’ shape of the glass walls cleverly. The signature shape of Paola Lenti furniture – straight lines and defined edges makes the look of the whole room so sharp... Deep red cushions add a dash of color inside, whilst the vital green of the trees outside is like having a living, constantly evolving painting. Various textures of rugs and flooring complete the look, giving a cozy feel. Consider this look when you’ve a view you want to savour both inside and out.

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.

Stunning Stone Art Divider Wall with Roche Bobois Salto Sofa

Open-concept designs are sought after these days. However, despite their airy and freeing atmosphere, it can be difficult to define each living space due to the wide area and endless possibilities. This design incorporates a spectacular stone art as divider wall to separate the rooms. It is nowhere near as imposing as a regular wall and offers more visual appeal through its ripple or tree ring effect. The stone divider combines the idea of wall and art into a unique mural that more than defines the perimeter of the space – it becomes the focal point and governs the overall design. The shaggy rug adds texture to the sleekness of the space, and the globular accessories provide an interesting contrast of shape and dimension. This design also includes a contemporary Salto sofa by Roche Bobois made of smooth Tendresse leather in a snow white colour. To see a short video of the sofa, click here.

Contemporary furniture by Roche Bobois inside traditional walls

Rich, romantic, elaborate and….. modern? This design is a perfect example of the blending of two separate decorative styles – in this case, two styles from separate centuries. The striking walls are reminiscent of eighteen century France with its high ceilings, plastered walls and ornate carvings. The furniture is undoubtedly very modern, and includes pieces by Studio Roche Bobois. The leather hide from the Cinephile sofas (Collection Particulière) directly opposes the romantic and grandiose setting. Sleek side table pieces and smooth accessories are used throughout the room, which are in contrast with the traditional carved and gilded motifs in low relief on the wall. A pure white and dark brown palette with silver accents is sure to stand out against the soft pale colours of the wood and plaster surrounding it. The result is a look that transcends centuries and challenges our perception of contemporary.
