The canopy can be created in a lot of different ways. If you’re happy with just the impression of a canopy without bothering with all the structural details, all you need is some chiffon fabric, wall hooks and some clamps to transform your bedroom. Find the center of the fabric and clamp down. Then figure out where you want it to drape and put the wall hooks into the wall. Center the fabric onto the hooks and drape it. You can use a garland as a helper if you want. It’s a very simple project but in case you need more details you can check out creatingwithklc.

If you want the canopy to look more authentic, it would be better to attach it to the ceiling than to a wall. There’s a nice description of the process on making-our-nest. The small canopy featured here was actually designed for an armchair but you get the idea. To create something similar you’ll need curtain panels, some ribbon, pom-pom trim and twine, a large embroidery hoop and netting.

To stay as close to the classical bed canopy idea as possible, you could try something similar to what’s described on takeitfrom-me. This canopy actually has a solid frame installed on the ceiling and building that required a few things like PVC pipes and elbows, clamps and spray paint. A drill, a saw and some sandpaper are also required to complete the project. The frame you build should have a size and form that match those of the bed.

Building the frame is sometimes easier than crafting the canopy itself. That has a lot to do with the style and design you’ve chosen for your canopy bed. If you head over to huntedinterior you’ll find a tutorial showing you how to make a canopy out of fabric panels. It’s a whole process and it’s important to be organized and to have a clear image in mind of how you want the canopy to look like at the end.

The canopy of this bed doubles as a headboard. It’s a very ingenious idea so if you’re missing a headboard you should definitely check out designsponge to see how you can make a two-in-one piece. The project is not too complicated. The supplies needed include fabric, adjustable curtain rods, curtain brackets and anchors.

Repurposing and recycling can be fun when you’re creating something useful. Let’s say you want to build a canopy for your bed. One of the things you could repurpose in that sense is a ladder. You’ll also need some scrap wood and screws to build the supports for the ladder. In case you’re curious how that would work out, have a look at the ladder canopy featured on chippingwithcharm.

Another idea can be to repurpose a few tree branches to build a support structure for the new bed canopy you’re about to make. Use a branch to hang the canopy from the ceiling with chain and two other ones to shape it so it frames part of the bed. It’s a really cool design idea especially for a coastal home or a beach-themed bedroom decor. We were inspired by the bed canopy featured on remodelista.

An old lampshade can only come in handy when you’re building a bed canopy. You can even customize it and make it look like a flower. That’s exactly what the tutorial featured on skooksplayground teaches. Here are the supplies needed: an old lampshade, a glue gun, green felt, pink felt, cord, a large paperclip, fabric and a ceiling hook. Feel free to choose other colors in case you prefer to customize the flower canopy differently.

The DIY bed canopy showed on lifeannstyle is pretty great too. It’s both good-looking and easy to make and it adds a romantic touch to the room. The main things you’ll need if you want to make something similar is two dowels and some fabric. First of all, you should pick a fabric that suits your style. A breezy fabric is better-suited for the project.

Instead of going out to get new fabric for the bed canopy you’re about to make, you could simply repurpose a tablecloth. If you follow the tutorial on vintageromancestyle there’s no need to even sew anything. Get some thick ribbon and cut it into strips. Glue them to the back of the tablecloth as shown. Two curtain rods will need to be installed on the ceiling to get the desired result. Two chandelier swag hooks will also be needed.

If you make the canopy too small or too heavy you could risk creating a claustrophobic ambiance in the bedroom. You could try instead to keep the design simple, airy and breezy. There’s a very good tutorial on onekingslane which would help in this case. This is the list of supplies you’ll need in case you decide to make a canopy just like that one: four wooden dowels, 12 copper U brackets, 4 copper elbows, 4 copper Ts, 8 copper caps, 8 drapes, a saw, glue, screws and anchors. Make sure that the drapes are long enough to reach the floor.

Of course, if you don’t want a full canopy you can just make something symbolic. You don’t need a lot of things for that. Some wooden dowels and sheer fabric should be enough to get you started. You can use thumb tacks to secure the canopy to the ceiling or, if you’d prefer something sturdier, you can use screws and anchors and you can even replace the dowels with pipes for an industrial touch. {found on rosyredbuttons}.

In a way, a canopy makes the bed feel like a tent…and that can inspire some interesting projects and designs like the one you can find on theraggedwren. The idea suggested here is that you can use fabric to surround the bed on three sides and to create a cozy, tent-like space. It’s something that the kids would surely love. It’s like camping but indoors and more comfortable.

Actually, you don’t even need a bed to make a cozy tent-like nook. You can simply hang the canopy and put a soft blanket on the floor. Check out the chic canopy tent featured on Thriftyandchic. It’s so pretty and, best of all, it’s very easy to put together. You can use a curtain rod section or hooks and rope. Either way, corners are great because they make the project a lot easier.

It could be fun to put together a small canopy tent for the kids and to attach it to the ceiling with a hook. Make it removable so you can take it down when you’re cleaning the room or when you need the space for something else. The hook can stay there. If you want to make the tent look magical, use some string lights and sheer curtains. Check out Handmadetales for reference.

This greenery sofa was introduced here by Krakvik & D’Orazio as a focal point. It stands out against the gray wall and the pastel-colored area rug and it’s beautifully coordinated with the indoor plants and other green accents strategically spread throughout the room. What’s also great is the fact that there’s actually a palette of green tones and they’re not all perfectly matched with each other.

The sofa is not the only furniture piece that can help you turn greenery into a focal point for your home. A green living room is a pretty broad concept, especially when you have an open floor plan. The products you can choose from include pretty much everything you’d put in a social area. Greenery chairs, ottomans, benches and even pendant lamps or rugs are all valid options.

A great way to emphasize a color is by placing it displaying it along a contrasting tone. Two colors are sometimes better than one as they can complement each other in great way. The green and brown tones featured by the BB-1430 armchairs evoke a very comfortable environment.

Sometimes color is there just to enhance an already interesting design. The Chaplin chairs, for example, are very playful, fun and versatile. Their seats and backrests can be adjusted in order to make each user comfortable and they stand out no matter where you put them. This is just one of the many examples of modern furniture that uses form and color to its advantage.

A classical and iconic chair can be revived by a trendy color and greenery does the trick for the Bird Lounge Chair. What started out as an experiment ended up being a timeless piece of furniture.

With Combine you have the option to make your sofa suit your style. You have a certain amount of control over the design, being able to make choices related to the style, the material from which the legs are made and the accent cushions. The color of the sofa can be the detail that makes it all come together beautifully.

Color is important in interior design and decor. It’s what brings spaces to life. Green is special because we usually associate it with nature. It looks beautiful when combined with brown and even better when wood is involved.

Pick the shade of green based on the function of the space, the ambiance and the mood you want to create and the other colors involved in the decor. The meaning of green as a color has a lot to do with the context where it’s used.

If you’re trying to create a connection with nature, color isn’t your only accessory. Consider using organic forms or designs with fluid shapes and irregular lines and patterns.

Used alone, this shade of green would definitely be eye-catching but a lot less interesting than when mixed with the red accents. There’s a trio of colors here and together they’re a perfect match. The white and the green are used in similar amounts while the small touches of pink are the perfect addition, creating the contrast that the room needed to feel complete.

Isn’t it great how green was used here to draw the eye upward and to make the room seem larger and fresher? This is a very clever and harmonious use of greenery.

As mentioned before, greenery (and green in general) is a really cool color for walls. It is, however, pretty powerful and it can become overwhelming if used in big proportions.

We love the use of green in the kitchen. It’s a color that looks exquisite when paired with white, especially in a modern or contemporary context defined by clean and minimalist lines.

It’s often nice to tone down a cool color such as green with warm accent tones or with materials and textures that can have a similar effect. Here, the green kitchen island and shelves are complemented by wood accents.

A cheerful green island can make a small or dark kitchen seem larger and more open. This is a color tones that brightens up the room and stands out regardless of the context.

Greenery furniture is wonderfully suited for children’s rooms. It’s a bold and cheerful color, full of energy and it can become the secondary tone in a decor defined by dynamism and fun combos.

There’s something about this color and texture combination that makes this series irresistible. The look is reminiscent of green grass fields and the series oozes with comfort and coziness.

The estate was abandoned after Pablo Escobar’s death in 1993. It was later returned to its original owner in 2003 and then, in 2012, it was discovered by its current owner who is a prominent art dealer. A plan was created that was meant to transform the estate into a luxury hotel. In 2015 the initial part of the transformation was complete and the five-star hotel opened. At that moment it only offered nine bedrooms.

In time, the hotel grew. A series of two-storey structures were built along the beach, raising the total number of suites to 35, with plans to add even more. These structures have only one guest suite per floor.

The main entrance into the primary building is pretty impressive. It features two very large doors that, when closed, look like a wall covered in tree bark. Inside, the decor is interesting in the sense that the walls are white and the floor is covered in polished concrete and the neutral decor is decorated with contemporary paintings, sculptures and designer furniture. The artwork is frequently rotated across the hotel to offer guests the opportunity to enjoy new pieces.

Inside the main building on the ground floor there’s a bar. This area has walls covered with graphical black and white wallpaper which stands out on its own without the need for artwork or decorations. The bar counter, the stools and everything else is kept simple.

The proximity of the property to the beach and the ocean allowed the creation of a series of beautiful lounge spaces, some with pergola roofs, others nestled under the trees. Hammocks and swings let the guests relax and enjoy the views and the tranquil ambiance. A swimming pool is also present and a hidden underground steam room is directly connected to it.

Chandeliers

The space over a dining table is the easiest place to incorporate rectangular lighting. Chandeliers come in all sort of styles to match any type of vibe you want to create in your dining area. AB Home’s Avedon Chandelier has an understated matte black exterior and modest cutouts, but enough gold and crystal drops on the inside to provide a good bling factor.

For those who want serious glamour and glitz, this chandelier from Lavai is an especially posh example of rectangular lighting. The golden base anchors rows of clear or gold-embellished Murano glass leaves. They are so delicate looking and the fixture looks like they are growing from the luminous center.

Also glitzy, but much more modern, Light and Living has rectangular lighting that could work in a slightly less formal, more contemporary setting. The light is enhanced by the thick beveled glass rectangles that lend an air of heft to the fixture.  The rectangular shape would also be appropriate over a large square table as well.

IDL has rectangular lighting that presents a much slimmer profile. The frame has the appearance of woven metal and the interior sports just a select snubber of small rectangular drops that keep the fixture thin. A chandelier like this is perfect for a modern space as it does not have the frou-frou that is typical of more traditional, round chandeliers.

Paolo Castelli’s My Lamp Suspension Rectangular is a more avant-garde fixture, composed of a mass of Venetian borosilicate glass tubes. The simple glass forms create a complex fixture when grouped. The combination of simple tubes and an unembellished gold frame allows this piece of rectangular lighting to be used in almost any decor style.

Similarly, this rectangular chandelier called Alto by CTL has a plain gold base, and the focus is on the glass pieces. The bulk of the fixture is composed of round glass circles in graduated sizes. The use of round discs instead of bulbs, drops or fuller forms is a very different treatment.

All made from ceramic, Stylnove Ceramiche has some very amazing rectangular lighting fixtures, like this one. The seams and golden bolts are reminiscent of something industrial or ship-like. It’s a substantial piece that will dominate the dining space and is best paired with minimalist or clean-lined furnishings.

At the rustic end of the spectrum, a wide variety of options also exists for rectangular lighting. Bramble’s rectangular chandelier looks like it was fashioned from an upcycled crate or wooden storage box and features distressed wood. The rope-covered arms and natural colored base add to the rustic look of the fixture.  It is a good choice for a country chic space, or simply a casual space where a touch of the rustic is desired.

Equally casual but a little more refined, Steven Shell’s version of rustic rectangular lighting features a crackle paint finish on the wood and a lattice frame. The bulbs inside are also old-fashioned. Together, these laments make for a rustic and chic lighting fixture. It could be a casual touch in a family dining area or in a sunroom. The cream color keeps it easy to adapt to an existing decor scheme.

Galvanized metal is a great material to include in a rustic room, especially when its used in a rectangular lighting fixture like this one from Go Home. The tub-like chandelier is illuminated by three old-fashioned bulbs that enhance the feel.

These two chandeliers from Indus function as one large rectangular lighting fixture. The style is casual but a little more precise than the previous examples. The light emanating from the chandelier is cast downward on the table as well as filtering through the slatted frame.

Pendants

Rectangular lighting fixtures can also be had as pendants in some cases.These can be long or small, and, as with other fixtures, can be of a modern or more conservative style. The thinner the profile of the fixture, the better suited it is to hang in multiples, like these from Inarchi. A modern, open-frame fixture features an LED strip along the bottom edge of the frame. The style of the design allows them to be joined into larger configurations.

Inarchi also presents this slim, rectangular lighting fixture that is actually made of ultra-thin marble. The stone is cut with a water jet, and the veining in the stone is highlighted by the interior LED light source. The fixture is also available in the form of rectangular frame.

This rectangular pendant from Go Home has a very different feel and a more substantial look. The old-fashioned lighting fixture is appropriate for a shabby chic, retro or eclectic living space.  It’s a distinctive light fixture that needs the right kind of decor to accompany it.

Table Lamps

Another easy way to include a rectangular lighting fixture into a rooms decor is with a table lamp. The rectangular profile can be achieved with a rectangular base or with a rectangular shade — or both. This lamp by Alba is a grand example of a textured rectangular base paired with a standard round drum shade.  The geometry of the base dominates the overall look.

Chelini’s table lamp has a mid-century modern feel thanks to the open box frame that supports the cube-shaped shade. Either alone or as a set, the rectangular lighting fixture casts light from the bottom as well as the top, and the bottom frame projects fascinating lines on the wall and surroundings.

A similar design that looks a bit more modern is this one from Oly Studio. The open rectangular base is topped off with a textured resin cube. It is a mood light rather than a task light and adds color as well as illumination.

Another style of rectangular accent lighting are these vertical stick shapes by Contardi. They also are accent lighting rather than task lighting, but add a wonderful glow to room thanks to the geometric lines in the glass.

Laura Meroni designed this very modern, metal rectangular lighting fixture. The various brass planes creating the rectangular mental shade that sits atop a rectangular base come together in a very minimal and geometric table lamp. It is unusual and elegant at the same time, appropriate for a sophisticated space.

A rectangular profile with a triangular shape, a linen-shaded table lamp from Revelations is modern and elegant and would be perfect for a living room where the lighting needs to be refined but unobtrusive. The gold and plexiglass base adds a small dose go glitz to the rectangular lighting fixture.

Floor Lamps

If they aren’t round, then most shades on floor lamps are rectangular. The shape and profile makes them easy to use in the corners of rooms and alongside furniture, where light is generally most needed. Jeffa’s floor lamp is a rectangular lighting fixture the features a base as well as a shade in the same shape.  The trunk-like pieces that form the base give the lamp a natural feel.

UMA’s metal base has a similar construction as the wooden floor lamp, but this rectangular lighting fixture gets its profile from the shade, even though the base is of the same shape. The metal fixture is more polished than the rustic wood version.

The vertical style of this rectangular floor lamp from the Phillips Collection is very different — and very glitzy. The heavy, angular crystal pieces, all edged in metal lend a more substantial feel to the piece. Called the Vermeer, it is a really glamorous piece and while it would be perfect in a living room, it would really make a luxe bedroom extra special.

Designs that Defy Categorization

Rectangular lighting fixtures lend themselves to designs that go far beyond the norm when it comes to shapes and leading-edge designs. They can be funky, colorful, weird or elegant. It’s an opportunity to have a little fun with your lighting decor scheme. These fixtures from Design Heure add color, shine and fun to any room. The rounded rectangles are wide and modern.

For a futuristic look, the Graffiti fixture by Kazuhiro Yamanaka fits the bill.  A slim rectangular body housing the light source is punctuated by wires that look like them have been scribbled in the air. The extensions accent the light and add dimension to a wide-open space.

A real novelty, this thin, rectangular lighting fixture from Quasar is a suspension light the features a real film strip around the edge. Named “Still Moving,” it casts light downward but also illuminates the film strip, adding another visual dimension to the fixture. It’s a really fun piece that’s perfect for a film buff!

Quasar’s Ruby fixture is a rectangular lighting fixture for the wall. Designed to be displayed vertically, it could also be installed horizontally. The play on the link and chain design allows it to have the light come out of the sides of the pieces as well as the front. It’s like a piece of jewelry for your wall.

Like slices of ice, these rectangles of light by Serip glow from an internal LED light source at the base. Hung in an artful grouping, these are a spectacular arrangement and could be used to fill any space, round or otherwise. The texture in the glass, as well as on the metal base, are a n interesting counterpoint to the sever rectangular shape.

Ok, so it might be a stretch to call these wall lights from AxoLight rectangular, but they do have the general shape, even though they support rounded corners. The array of spare lights and the variety of directions the light is pointed make for lovely wall display. We could see these accenting a long hallway, casting light in all directions.

In the case of the Lady Hio tables designed by Philippe Starck and S. Schito the legs are the eye-catching element. The tables come in transparent colors such as yellow cedar, warm gray and pinky orange and their tops can be rectangular or round. The legs are made of blown glass with metal hardware and they make the tables look lightweight.

The Shimmer tables are part of a very special series designed by Patricia Urquiola. The collection includes a range of small and large tables all defined by an iridescent multi-chromatic finish. The color of the table changes depending on the angle at which the touches as well as the point where the viewer stands. They’re available in frosted of transparent glass and they’re meant to stand out, being excellent statement pieces

The round glass top of the Rock dining table contrasts with the base which is made of wood and has a robust and faceted form. The base is inspired by the irregular nature of rocks which also inspired the name. Each table is handmade this ensuring the uniqueness of each piece.

Massino Castagna designed a very elegant dining table called Haumea-T. It’s a table that has a 15 mm transparent glass top and a cylindrical wooden base with a very smooth finish and either a black or rust lacquered finish. There’s a very nice continuity between the base and the top and it has to do with the presence of a removable tray which sits at the center. It coordinates with the top layers of the base in a very natural manner.

The combination of wood and glass is not exactly special. As always, it’s all in the details and the way in which these two materials complement each other. This is what makes a dining table special. This one, for example, is designed by Giulio Iacchetti and what we love about it is how slick and lightweight the composition is and how the wood, although not used in big proportions, impregnate its warmth onto the whole design.

The Infinity table by S. Gigi is definitely the type to stand out. Its top is made of transparent glass and offers a full view of the base which is made of solid canaletta walnut and sits on a metal disc. The base has this artistic and sculptural design which turns it into the focal point of the table and the entire dining setting.

There are tables, such as Fili d’Erba for example, that not only have a top made of glass but a base crafted from the same material as well. This table’s Murano glass base is available in a variety of different colors such as frosted blue, turquoise, white, black or grey while the top is always transparent.

The base of the Aenigma table has a continuous and fluid form with curves that soften the look of metal. It can be made of shiny copper or shiny black nickel but there’s also a version is antiqued dark brass. The top is made of 15 mm thick transparent glass.

Although we appreciate round tables for the way they bring people together, there’s also something really beautiful about rectangular table tops. In the case of the Porada Infinity table, the beauty comes from the connection between the top and the sculptural double base. It looks almost as if the glass top hovers over the two wooden bases, that’s how delicate and lightweight it seems.

As the previous examples showed, there’s no standard to follow when designing a glass dining table. The designs are very diversified and each one has its own way of standing out. This particular table, for instance, has this highly glamorous look given by all the gold.

A lot of times when the desire is to make a table look lightweight, the top is made of glass only. In contrast, this table has a glass top surrounded by a frame that runs along its edges. It still looks lightweight but it also has an enhanced sense of durability.

It’s a good idea to choose a glass top dining table if you plan on surrounding it by high-back chairs or armchairs that look solid and robust. This way the ensemble will be well-balanced and nicely proportioned.

Tables made entirely of glass are quite rare. We have one right here. It’s quite difficult to spot it, especially when surrounded by rich colors and patterns.

A dining table with a glass top also allows the area tug to stand out instead of being almost completely covered up by all the furniture. You could turn the rug into a focal point for the space.

A table that has a glass top, whether it’s round, square or rectangular, allows the chairs placed around the table to be more visible, hence to stand out more.

Obviously, it’s also possible for a glass table maintain a lightweight and open look even when it’s surrounded by robust furniture or covered in centerpieces and decorations.

Trestle dining tables usually look good in traditional interior designs. You can see one here, in an open plan social space which integrates three different functions. The dining table appears to be the central piece, highlighted by two hanging pendant lamps. This is an interior planned by Mitch Wise Design.

Awad+koontz chose a trestle table for this cozy and stylish dining nook. The table is complemented by an L-shaped bench that has built-in storage and by a set of individual chairs.

It seems that trestle dining tables go well with benches, as demonstrated here by Deep River Partners. In this large dining room the focal point is the live-edge table which is framed by chairs on two sides and which has unique live-edge at either end.

Because trestle tables are usually more closely linked to rustic or traditional decors than to minimalist modern design, they look nice when complemented by classical chairs and candle chandeliers like this one featured in the dining room designed by BCV Architects.

A trestle table is usually large because otherwise the design wouldn’t really make sense. The table is solid but that doesn’t stop it from also being practical and easy to put together or to store. In fact, that’s what made this style so popular in the first place. Klondike Contracting designed this dining area with both looks and function in mind.

Other style can bring out the best in trestle tables too. For example, studio Oliver Burns designed this dining room using a combination of modern, rustic and industrial elements and the table brings it all together harmoniously.

Given how robust and solid a trestle table usually looks, it can be a nice idea to complement it with chairs that look lightweight, with see-through backrests or with slick and thin frames. Pay attention to the style as well. This dining room designed by Siamasko + Verbridge can serve as a source of inspiration.

This dining area designed by ZeroEnergy is wonderfully balanced. The trestle table is the piece of resistance. With slick and lightweight chairs on one side and a built-in white bench on the other, the decor is perfectly-balanced.

AMW Design Studio chose a different strategy. In this dining area they preferred a decor and an ambiance that are a bit formal and where solid and heavy furniture makes perfect sense.

We love the architectural look of the trestle table used here by Charlie & Co Design. It establishes a sense of symmetry with the island and the cabinetry and it blend sin nicely with the wooden floor. It has a strong presence and that makes it stand out in an elegant way.

The team at Polhemus Savery Dasilva (psd) is known for the timeless designs it creates and for the attention to detail. You can see that here, in a dining area that’s small but bright and cheerful, with just the right amount of color and a solid trestle dining table to ground it all.

Not all trestle tables are heavy and robust and not all are large either. The one photographed here by Elad Gonen is actually quite delicate-looking. It adds warmth and charm to the room.

Somehow a trestle table is simply perfect for this dining room created by Gregory Carmichael Interior Design. It’s the element that brings the room together and the chairs and bench contrast with each other but look beautiful when combined around the table.

Don’t you just love how cozy this little dining nook is? It’s small and it looks very comfortable. The sofa is perfect for the space and the table matches the room perfectly. This is a space designed by Hann Builders.

Wondering where you could find such a table? Well, there are plenty of options. This particular one, for example, comes from Zin Home. It’s made of oak wood and it’s simple enough to be versatile. The design is inspired by the classic furnishings of 18th century France.

This is a space designed by the Refined Group, a studio appreciated for the ability to mix contrasting styles and to put together historical and modern elements to create timeless and sophisticated spaces. This is one of those projects.

The Refined Group also created this gorgeous interior design which puts the spotlight on the trestle table used in the dining area. The whole design is wonderful, especially after taking into consideration the different types of chairs used around the table.

The most notable element of a trestle dining table is obviously the structure of the base which usually features large wooden pieces. These can be coordinated with exposed beams for a cohesive decor of the room. You can see such a design photographed here by Lanny Nagler.

A robust dining table like the one photographed by Thomas Grimes needs to be surrounded by elements that suggest lightness or by light colors and breezy fabrics. Everything has its own role in the design, including the chairs, the rug, the wall color and the light fixtures.

DIY trestle tables

We’ve talked and talked about how versatile and practical a trestle table is and it’s clear that assembly is simple so it shouldn’t be that difficult to build such a table from scratch. The design is pretty straight-forward and once you figure out the exact dimensions it’s more or less a puzzle. You can add your own touch to the design, like this metal pipe support beam for example. It given the table featured on cherishedbliss an industrial twist.

Putting together a rustic table is easy, especially if you use ready-made trestle legs. It’s all just a big puzzle. You have to put the pieces together and there’s some room for customization. On lipstickandwhitetee you can find some suggestions, tips and instructions on how to construct a table that looks just like this one.

It’s a bit unusual to see a trestle table with a round top. The combination is not common and the design is quite interesting. In case you want to build such a table yourself from scratch, be sure to check out rogueengineer for the list of materials required but also for detailed instructions to help you every step of the way.

It might seem easiest to give it up to the kids for an out of the way playroom that they can destroy, but there is a simple way to make your basement adult friendly too. Behold the basement bar. Adult friends and family will love hanging out in your basement, drinking cocktails and playing ping pong or watching the big game. Take a look at these 12 essential elements for your basement bar and your basement will be a constant source of entertainment all year long.

There are two must have elements to make a basement bar work for you: storage space and surface space. Installing a few kitchen cabinets in the basement is the perfect way to create a bar that is efficient in size and available space. Plus you get another spot to decorate and who can say no to that?

Looking for simple and affordable storage for your basement bar? Go for a bookcase. All those shelves will be perfect for holding all your glasses and bottles and little signs with quotes about wine.

Depending on your beverage consumption, you want to be sure you have the right kind of space for storing your bottles. Having a cabinet for all the hard liquors and another space for wine storage can make your basement bar look really professional.

Seating is important no matter what room you’re designing, but in a basement, you want it to be especially inviting. Add a counter to your bar with stools to create the bar-like experience right in your own home.

Is your home a haven of rusticity? Keep those vibes going in your basement too. Build your bar out of rustic barn wood and avoid staining or sealing to keep that wonderful grainy texture. Bonus points if you get your wood for free.

If you want to make your bar stand out, you want to have it set in. Build a little cubby or use one you already have to really highlight your basement bar as it’s own special area. Line with barstools and you have a space that’s a safe grownup hangout while the kids play beside you.

Maybe you have the bar counter ready to go and you just have to figure out storage. Head to the hardware store and install some simple open shelves yourself. You can be filling them and styling them by the end of the night with just a screwdriver and an extra pair of hands.

If you really want your basement bar to be efficient, you’ll want to splurge on some extra luxuries. A small fridge will help you keep drinks at their desired temperature and a sink will make cleanup simple and fast. Even just those two amenities will make your life easier before and after the party.

If you’re wanting your basement bar to have a more formal look, you must install backsplash. Backsplash immediately means business. You can have a wild party and easily wipe away splashes and spills after the guests leave.{found on woodinc}.

Many basements have cool features like old wood beams and brick walls. Use those things to your advantage to give your basement bar some personality. Even the most modern bar will feel like it belongs to the house when it’s up against an old original brick wall.

Have you thought about making your basement bar more than only a bar? If you have guests quarters in your basement, consider adding an oven and large fridge to create a kitchenette alongside your bar accessories. It will also make hosting a breeze since you can do all your prep where the party will be instead of running up and down stairs.

Are you lamenting over your lack of floor space in your basement? A basement bar doesn’t have to take up even a whole wall. One set of cabinets and a wine cooler will provide you the perfect little basement bar that serves it’s purpose without taking up too much space.

This unusual apartment, if we’re to call it this way, measures a total of 61.6 square meters. Its interior was designed in 2016 by La Erreria, a studio with a holistic approach to every project and an inspiring way of reconstructing their strategies to adapt to new scenarios in order to ensure satisfying results for each and every client. This constant reinvention of the designs means that no two projects are the same.

The limited floor space was an impediment but also the thing that empowered the designers to find custom solutions and to come up with new and clever design ideas. For instance, they chose a wall bed instead of a typical one and this allowed them to fulfill their plan of giving the attic a versatile and flexible floor plan. As the bed folds up during the day, the space can become a lounge area or an extension of the living area.

The interior as a whole is very bright and open, with full-height windows, sliding glass doors and a color palette based on white as the main tone combined with light wood accents and touches of yellow, green and blue. There’s a duality that makes this project quite interesting. On one hand the space is small although it doesn’t look or feel tiny. On the other hand, there’s a strong connection to the outdoors even if there’s no uninterrupted view of the surroundings.

Unlike typical attic apartments, this one lacks the slanted walls and ceiling and features instead a very open layout, with straight, large windows and a surprising connection to a terrace that surrounds it. like a yard. The low walls that surround it offer a sense of comfort and security without completely hiding the views.

Firstly, you’ll want to choose your base color. The color you paint the walls will greatly influence how your kitchen feels in the end. Once that is decided, you can choose which cabinet orientation gives the best flow and which flooring is the easiest to clean and if you should hang your pots and pans or store them in a cabinet. There are a lot of decisions to make so take some time to scroll through these 100 beautiful kitchens to inspire your own kitchen makeover. You’ll end up with the kitchen you’ve always dreamed of.

White Kitchens

White would be considered one of the go to colors for kitchens, but that shouldn’t always be the case. Designer Ann Decker knows that big windows make a white kitchen look bright and fresh, the way that white should look. So make sure you have plenty of natural light in your kitchen to really set off those white walls.

If you can say yes to marble, then say a big enthusiastic yes. McIntosh Moorman Interior Design shows us that marble paired with white can be an incredibly chic kitchen combination. Especially with that tiled marble backsplash.

la SHED should be applauded for creating this lovely white kitchen. Focused on simplicity, it is a prime example of how neutral colors can complement each other so well and complete a room without a brighter shade.

Of course there is no harm in putting a brighter shade into your neutral colored kitchen. They chose a bright yellow stove to contrast against dark cabinets and white walls. Such an unexpected pop can bring a smile to your kitchen space.

Can we talk about cabinets for a second? Just because your walls are white doesn’t mean your cabinets must be white too. In fact, choosing a darker color for cabinets like Brittany’s navy cabinets can set your kitchen apart from the basic Joe kitchen.

Shiplap is trending hard at the moment, which is a good thing for country kitchens. Most shiplap is white so when you cover your kitchen walls in it, you instantly create that clean rustic look without all those differing wood tones. Courtney Bishop even covers cabinet fronts in shiplap to give more continuity.

Speaking of rustic, let’s spend a moment appreciating the beams in this white kitchen. Danish design company, Garde Hvalsoe, uses wood of different shades to bring warmth into this kitchen. They have successfully created a space where everyone wants to spend their slow Saturday mornings.

Wood floors are popular in all kitchens, no matter the color. But by choosing wood for your white kitchen, you’re using a creative avenue to bring depth and texture into an otherwise plain space. Jen Langston chose a lighter stain for the floor to keep things feeling fresh.

You probably know already that white actually comes in different shades. Those undertones say more than you think. If you’re are convinced to have white in your kitchen with shadowy corners, opt for a white with warmer undertones to make your space feel cozy and not dingy.

Naturally we should all take a page out of POCO Designs‘ book and consider going white on white on white in our kitchens. White walls with a white floor and white cabinets put the focus where it really counts, on the people and the food. So if you’re thinking of ditching color altogether, you have our permission.

Gray Kitchens

Oh gray. The color of rainy days, comfy sweaters and grandma’s lovely hair. Gray gives us all the warm fuzzies with it’s homey color. So painting your kitchen in a shade of gray might just be the best option for a neutral but cozy kitchen that the whole family will flock to.(image from Ryan Wicks Photography)

When you’re wanting to create a modern kitchen that is also family friendly, black or white are too stark when it comes to your color choices. Loves Interiors shows us that gray is much softer and yet still neutral enough to give your metallic pops and modern sensibilities.

When your home has wood floors, many times it just makes sense to keep the rest of your decor on the warm side. Like when Johnston Park Interiors used a lovely warm gray for both the walls and the cabinet. It’s a perfect kitchen for lingering over your morning coffee.

Is your kitchen basically wall to wall cabinet space? That shouldn’t inhibit you at all. This kitchen by Modulnova Twenty painted all the sleek cabinet fronts a stormy gray to make them feel more accessible though no less modern.

Since gray is basically pastel black, it seems only natural that you would lean towards other pastel colors in your gray kitchen. Light green, like the backsplash in this kitchen, is a lovely calming choice. Or you could go with a blending light blue or even the trendy blush pink. Whatever you choose, it will be beautiful against your gray walls.

Gray can definitely be an invitation to infuse your space with bright colors as well. If you’re feeling like the gray is too overwhelming, take a note from this happy Swedish kitchen and paint your cabinets a bright color that will complement your dusky walls.

Did you know that not all bricks are rusty red? Yes, there are bricks that show off colors of black and cream and gray as well. When you’re dealing with those bricks in your kitchen, Dawn Hearn Interior Design teaches us to go for gray in the areas without bricks. Walls cabinets, they’ll all look stunning against your brick pattern.

When you think of gray and chic, you probably come up with marble. Design practice De Rosee Sa uses marble to the fullest extent in this lovely gray kitchen. It doesn’t get much better than a completely marble kitchen island with seating and waterfall ends.

Of course it’s easy to add touches of boho style to your chic kitchen if you want to. Jill Frey Kitchen Design adds the basket shades to hanging pendants to give this kitchen a touch of personality. They’re definitely one of the most eye catching things against those gray cabinets.

Concrete is the new design medium and Rob Mills Architects would definitely agree. Their kitchen design is basically all concrete, which is actually a warmer gray than you’d think. You could let your kids cook and do homework and play soccer in your indestructible kitchen without losing a wink of sleep.

Blue Kitchens

Blue is such a popular color nowadays, it could almost be considered a neutral shade. Except it isn’t because it evokes feelings of peace and calm, exactly what you want in your kitchen while you’re trying to get the cake out of the bundt pan without cracking. Howell’s Architecture and Design covered the walls of this kitchen with lovely blue tiles to really bring out the relaxation.

Blue tile might not be an option for your kitchen so you’ll have to find another way to get the color. Like painting your cabinet fronts blue. This kitchen shows us just how effective that can be when most of your kitchen space is covered by cabinets.

Famous painter Claude Monet knew his colors. His kitchen is a prime example of how different shades of the same color can give your space lots of interest without feeling overwhelming. Something to pay attention to especially when working with blue.

Navy is often overlooked and labelled too dark for many spaces. However, like EMI Interior Design suggests, being a darker color that isn’t black can make other elements in your kitchen really pop. Plus marble looks stunning against deep tones.

On the other end of the spectrum, many think that light blue only belongs in a nursery. Angie Keyes uses a pale blue to infuse this kitchen with some serious cottage vibes. If Peter Rabbit’s mother had a kitchen, this would be it.

Sometimes you find a shade of blue that you just love so much and wish you could paint everything in sight that color. The question is… why not? Plain English Design used the same shade to paint both walls and cabinets to create a very traditional feel in this traditional kitchen.

When you have kids, it’s important to have surfaces that are easy to keep clean. Here’s a kitchen that gets it right by giving the counter and backsplash a seamless surface. You can even have your kids help you keep that pretty blue countertop clean.

You might think that smaller tiles belong in the bathroom, but Wynne Taylor Ford shows us otherwise. The backsplash in this kitchen is just stunning while the other blue accents pull the whole room together. There is simplicity and style in the same space that you just can’t ignore.

Blue looks great in texture too. The wavy surface and gradient tones of this backsplash really brings out the rusticity of the kitchen. Alexander and Co. definitely chose well when deciding what works best with those wood cabinets.

Let’s not leave out turquoise. Such a popular color is a great option for the kitchen as well. Greg Terbrock Design Build really went all out on this bright and happy kitchen. You would almost believe it’s a beach house!

Red Kitchens

When many people think of a red kitchen, a country kitchen comes to mind, complete with plaid valance and rooster cookie jar. But this inspiring kitchen by Roselind Wilson Design shows us that red can absolutely complete a modern kitchen too. With minimal lines and shiny cabinet fronts, it banishes all thoughts of roosters from our minds.

Red is definitely a fun color for eclectic kitchens as well. Amazing Spaces’ choice of the bright lipstick red for these kitchen cabinets is a bright invitation to hang out and create together as a family.

Maybe you like red but you’re worried about putting it in your kitchen. Opt for a darker wine red instead. The backsplash in this Chai Design kitchen is just dark enough to feel chic and classy instead of bright and punchy.

Speaking of chic and classy, Rysso Peters knows how to take chic to the next level. This contemporary kitchen uses red and black to give your eyes a good contrast. It will make you feel like your kitchen is much more expensive than it is.

For a lighter look with the same eye drawing red, try this trick like Nissen Richards Studio. Paint the wall above your counter in your chosen shade of red and install sleek clear panels over top. You’ll get exactly the red you want in the modern style you want and still get the easy cleaning.

Not the DIY type? Then go for the tiled backsplash instead. Martins Camisuli Architects knows that just the pop of red will allow you to add all the red accents you want.

There’s just something about a Spanish styled kitchen that makes you want all those spicy nachos. These red cabinets in this Cheryl Ketner Interiors kitchen lay the foundation for the best Spanish styled kitchen you’ve ever seen. Just add terra cotta.

Of course if the bright red doesn’t appeal to you, add a touch of purple to the paint for a deeper wine red color like these Harvey Jones Kitchen cabinets. Suddenly your kitchen will become the space for all your selfies.

From lipstick colored convertibles to I Love Lucy’s nail polish, bright red is the color of retro. That’s probably why they chose to install the lipstick red appliances in this retro kitchen. And it was a wonderful choice.

But we can’t leave out that red french country kitchen because it’s not all bad. The kitchen in this Johnson Berman lodge is the perfect mix of deep country red and natural wood tones. Just where you want to be, sipping hot chocolate on a snowy evening.

Green Kitchens

Green, like blue, is a color many people gravitate to due to its calming properties. So if you are an experimental cook, painting your kitchen a lovely shade of green like this kitchen from Carlyn and Company Interiors and Design can help you relax while you’re working out the perfect cake.

Rustic kitchens that contain a lot of natural textures like wood and stone can really benefit with a calming color to balance out the busyness. JKA Design infused this kitchen with a pale leafy green by giving the wood cabinets a once over, but only a once over so the wood grain still peeks through.

Green is also a great shade for modern kitchens. Just raise the brightness a bit to get more pop against your modern style and, like Kitchen Designs by Ken Kelly Inc. already knows, you’ll have the best kitchen on the block.

You’ve probably already figured it out, but marble pairs so well with cooler colors. Greg Natale uses green for the cabinets in this marble covered kitchen which creates a very classic feel. Proof that green can solve so many problems.

If you’re really serious about marble, you’ll be thrilled to see this green tinted countertops. Elegant Kitchens and Baths Inc. found an unexpected way to put more green into this kitchen and still keep the clean white look. A win win for everyone involved.

Balt Atelier Limited opted for a deeper green than you see in most kitchens. But the dusky hue totally complements the modern additions without losing the traditional feel. It’s the perfect shade for a kitchen in an older home.

Farmhouse kitchens might be one of the most fun to decorate due to the simplicity and practicality of the space. Donald Lococo Architects covered everything in the same pale shade of green to create the image of continuity while still being the cutest kitchen ever.

There’s nothing like a bright backsplash to stand out against your wooden cabinets. The bright green of this Nico van der Meulen Architects kitchen really stands out and makes the modern space seem more friendly.

If walls, cabinets and backsplash weren’t enough, you can also put green on your kitchen floor. Design Studio West wisely uses green and white linoleum to keep the retro feel in this kitchen but the green creates less of a contrast than using black and white.

When all else fails in your little beach cottage, go for a sea green theme. This Mark Williams Design Associates kitchen is just the place you want to come into after a romp at the beach.

Black Kitchens

When you hear the word chic, most likely you think of something the color of black. So when we say that black kitchens are the chicest you can get, you probably have no trouble believing us. This black kitchen by Surroundings creates a space that feels close and cozy.

Black and marble? You betcha. Blakes London takes a dusty black and covers the beadboard of this kitchen with it. With those marble countertops and backsplash, you can have date night in a kitchen like this no problem.

Now here’s a kitchen that embraces all the black. Not only did they paint their walls in the blackest shade they could find, they also swathed the cabinets in it. It creates the perfect space to host cocktails on summer evenings and nurse hangovers the next morning.

Opting for a black floor instead of black walls will definitely help ground your space. In this kitchen they even installed black cabinets and appliances. When you’re wanting to make a statement, this is how to do it.

So many modern kitchens are styled in white and stainless steel for a clean cut effect. But what if you used black to make your kitchen stand out from the rest of your home, like this one by William Burton Leopardi? You would definitely bring a new level to your modern styling ideas.

Even rustic kitchens can boast black in some pretty spectacular ways. Katrin Arens embraces the shade in lieu of backsplash in this rustic space. Next to the wood, it brings a bit of industrial style to the table.

While most people resort to white to show off a popping color, maybe you should consider black instead. Especially if you have a bright shade like the yellow in this Atticus and Milo kitchen, black can really give your favorite color the punch in needs.

Oh it’s blackest black, but those tiles have a wavy surface that make the black seem more approachable. Francois Berube Interiors uses them to make a statement among the glowing white cabinetry.

We just can’t put down the black backsplash yet. In a rustic kitchen that needs a inky statement, you don’t really want the smooth black subway tile. So Erin Swift had the right idea when she chose a black backsplash with all that texture.

Standard Studio definitely puts together kitchens that are anything but standard. All the sleek black cabinetry gives off the most modern vibes with just a touch of industrial charm. Perfect for the homeowner who’s looking for contemporary and natural at the same time.

Orange Kitchens

There is a slight problem for certain homeowners. When your favorite color is orange, it seems rather discouraged to decorate with it. However, the kitchen can be the perfect place to infuse with such a happy color, like this beauty with sleek cabinets from Applegate Interior Design Project.

This kitchen by Dyna Contracting is proof that you can get tile in any color you like. The orange here is not too bright to be glaring against the white cabinets but not too dark as to look like bricks either.

On the flip side, when your cabinets are a darker shade like these wood ones, you can get away with the brightest shade you can find. The popping orange of this kitchen makes the whole space feel bright and modern, a place to make you smile first thing in the morning.

Orange is the reigning color of midcentury modern decor. But instead of covering the walls with it, Kropat Interior Design opted for orange countertops instead. We still get the midcentury modern feel but we aren’t accosted by orange either.

Orange doesn’t have to feel midcentury modern. It can definitely be just plain ol’ modern, like in this sleek kitchen. The reddish orange paired with wood cabinets feels warm and welcoming for all your entertaining needs.

Backsplash isn’t the only way to put orange in your kitchen. Orange cabinets like these in this Mark English Architects kitchen can be a great way to use your favorite shade in a space you inhabit for many hours in a week.

For the diehard orange enthusiasts, did you know that they make orange appliances? Kingston Design Remodeling did and they utilized that resource to find a fridge that perfectly matches the orange backsplash in this tiny kitchen.

With a bit of orange paint, you probably can’t go wrong. By giving your kitchen an orange focal wall like this Covenant Kitchens & Baths, Inc. kitchen, you can easily imagine it’s summertime all year round in your bright happy space.

Isn’t that tile just glorious? The orange design chosen by Blossom Studio for this kitchen goes perfectly with the rest of the pastel shades in the home. It’s a great example of how orange really can match with anything.

Copper has been the in metal for a long time. Lucky for you orange people, it can give off an orange glow in your kitchen. Get stylish with this idea from Murdock Solon Architects and use copper as your backsplash. No need to decorate the rest of your kitchen because the copper alone will take your breath away.

Brown Kitchens

Yes, beige is gone and done. But if you’re not quite ready to let it go, consider a gray tinted brown for your kitchen. Greige is a beautiful soft shade that will seemingly wrap you in a hug while you cook for your family, exactly like this kitchen by Carter Kay Interiors.

If you look hard enough, you’ll noticed that this kitchen is basically a work of art. Put white cabinet doors on dark brown cabinets for a spectacular contrast against against all that chocolatey brown.

Marigo Design utilizes brown in several different shades in this lovely traditional kitchen. The light brown backsplash complements the cream cabinetry while the deep brown island table really stands out. And then there’s the wood floor underneath to bring it all together.

Some people don’t have the money to completely revamp their currently beige kitchen. So take advantage of the light brown and install dark brown cabinets to give yourself a break from beige, like in this kitchen.

Of course you aren’t stuck with only light browns and dark cabinets for brown options in your kitchen. Feel free to follow A3‘s design and paint your walls a darker shade of brown to stand out against your white tile.

We just have to revisit the brown backsplash concept for a second because this kitchen is on point. Charisma chose a tile backsplash that includes probably five different shades of brown to really pull together all the other shades in the room.

Modern kitchens require creative kitchen layout designs to help you keep a warm and homey feeling without losing the contemporary beauty. This kitchen by Rob Kennon Architects utilizes plywood to bring that textured brown into the space but keep things light and airy.

Rustic kitchens might be the best examples for brown kitchens. Holmes Hole Builders covered these kitchen walls in rustic wood for a quaint and cabin feel. The variating brown shades and all that wood grain really gives this place a family friendly vibe.

Talk about cabin vibes. This kitchen by Jersey Ice Cream Co. took basically a whole barn’s worth of rustic wood to put in the kitchen. It’s such a unique warm look that’s perfect for a little house in the woods.

This Dorrington Atcheson Architects kitchen has a very midcentury modern feel to it. The perfect shade of wood against those bright cabinet fronts would encourage anyone to spend a little more time cooking for family instead of eating out.

Yellow Kitchens

Yellow kitchens just belong in happy houses, like this kitchen from Cottage Company. That butter yellow is the perfect shade tone to drink your coffee to every morning.

MN Builders proves that yellow can work even in the contemporary kitchens. It’s a color that will seamlessly combine the sleek lines of modern design with the traditional look of an older home.

Think outside the box when you’re putting yellow in your kitchen like McCall Design. Instead of painting the walls, they painted the cabinets so they could add a nice clean subway tile backsplash. Now that’s thinking.

Or… just find yourself a pretty yellow tile pattern to serve as your backsplash and all your food pictures on social media will include a dose of yellow. In this Adrienne DeRosa kitchen, there is two shades of yellow to bring some happiness to the eyes as well as the soul.

Kitchens might be the best places to take advantage of the statement wall, probably because there isn’t much wall to begin with. Go for a brighter shade of yellow like this Lynda Miehe Associates kitchen and you’ll never be short of smiles while you cook.

If you aren’t a shy decorator, follow the lead of this contemporary kitchen and find the brightest yellow you can muster for your main kitchen color. This works especially for small kitchens that occupy a little corner of the house.

Retro doesn’t have to mean red. In this retro kitchen, designed by Jackson Design & Remodeling, butter yellow swaths the walls, backsplash, countertop and floor. They even found pale yellow appliances to match, the real retro way.

Wanting to give your classic old home a contemporary lift? Yellow is the way to go. Hendricks Churchill used a bright sunny shade to cover the cabinets and trim of this farmhouse to bring a real family friendly flair to the space.

Adeeni Design Group took a kitchen and breakfast nook and brought them together with pale yellow cabinets. Against that marble countertop, it feels so classic and traditional, like it was always meant to be that way.

When simplicity is your friend, you can get away with a lot of different colors. In this case, honey yellow cabinets are perfection because they only span the bottom of the kitchen.

Pink Kitchens

Pink has been a trendy color for the past year or two, so it makes sense that there are pink kitchens to be found! This beauty by Jessica Buckley Interiors is extremely girly with it’s striped cushions and floral shade. Just right for a bachelorette’s apartment.

Remember what we said about kitchen statement walls? Pink is another great color for that. Here’s a kitchen that utilizes clear panels for the illusion of pink backsplash when it’s really the wall behind them.

If you can get away with pink walls, why not pink cabinets instead? The glossy finish on the pink cabinets in this Leicht Westchester-Greenwich kitchen take the feeling from baby nursery to modern chic.

Speaking of baby nursery, if you’re afraid that pink will make your kitchen look too much like a nursery, you can always tone it down to a lovely blush. Middleton Bespoke Interiors knew that the warmer shade of pink will blend with the wood tones in this rustic kitchen.

Take your blush, add a little orange tint and you’ve got a pink that’s very close to millennial pink, punchy and pretty at the same time. Gisbert Poeppler pairs their pink with chic shades like black for a grown up look in an otherwise girly space.

Hot pink is definitely a rare color when it comes to home interiors, however maybe it shouldn’t be. The two tone cabinets in this Mal Corboy Design kitchen feel extremely minimal and modern. Maybe it’s all that shine.

Putting together wood and pink is possibly the best idea we’ve ever heard. This kitchen takes the same sleek hot pink element and puts it on the backsplash. It’s like creating the best accent wall you’ve ever seen.

If you’re gonna have a pink surface, this kitchen by Mal Corboy Design makes you wonder why not put a pattern on it? It adds some texture to the space without making any surface hard to clean.

Maybe you actually like the pale nursery pink. If that’s just your style, take a note from A1 Lofts and Extensions and embrace it. You’ll be happy to know that they even make pink appliances to fill your need.

Some of us have a non-pink-loving significant other. When you’re making decorating decisions with someone else, compromise is key. Harvey Jones Kitchens shows us that it doesn’t have to be a lot of pink to make a big impact. Settle for a pink island and some pink kitchen accents instead of a full fledge pink walls situation. You won’t be disappointed.

The apartment is a loft with a total living area of 80 square metes. Its interior was redesigned in 2016 by Metaforma. It was transformed into a stylish bachelor pad with a decor that’s simple and full of character. The walls at the entrance was taken down and this way the apartment become more open and the usable space was maximized.

The overall openness of the space is also ensured by the presence of large windows. The apartment has views of the large old trees in the neighborhood. They played an important role when choosing the palette of colors and materials. The designers went with a combination of earthy colors and natural materials.

The staircase which was originally curved was modified by the designers and given a more linear structure. It’s now partially placed along the glass facade and the stairs are wider. This new form also allowed the living room to be better organized, creating more space for the dining table and chairs. At the same time, it opened up the room visually, putting an emphasis on the windows, the views and the light that enters the apartment.

The apartment was also personalized to show the clients’ interests. One of them is a collector of red Ferrari cars and you can see them showcased along the living room wall by the stairs while the other is a collector of music discs. These little details enrich the decor and make it feel like a home. At the same time, they add a touch of color to an otherwise mostly neutral space. Even though simple, the apartment’s interior design is very expressive and we love that about it. Its man cave decor is simply charming.
