Interior Design Sense

These new dining chairs by EGO Zeroventiquattro are so super fun, we couldn’t help posting about them. EGO is about combining tradition and modernity and theses chairs embody that concept. A traditional shape modernized by fun finishes and bright colors. They’re a bit exaggerated but in a good way, you can’t help but smile at them. They could make a classical dining room hip and casual while staying true to the original style. How fun! Visit EGO Zeroventiquattro for more information.

Ethos, a kitchen by Lando, was made to go along with our modern lifestyles by promoting an open kitchen design concept. Open plan living is not declining in popularity and more and more people look for this kind of freeing, adaptable layout in interior spaces. Often, it’s the kitchen, dining room and living room that people want to combine into an open space. The Ethos kitchen is a perfect solution. With freestanding cabinets and a multifunctional island, this kitchen accommodates cooking, eating and gathering, all in one place. It’s available in a Walnut or Larch finish. Go to Lando for more information.

Just another quick home before we head into the weekend. The owners of this one are not afraid of colour. The colours they chose for their walls are beautiful. But oddly enough they left the easiest rooms to bathe in colour (in my humble opinion anyway) in neutrals – kitchen, bathroom and dining room. My favourite is the magenta bedroom. SWOON!

My brother-in-law Dave sent me a link to a really cool office warehouse makeover in Brazil. It’s the office of a sports marketing company and they asked architect Simone Tasca to work some magic. Some very clever ideas were introduced that are awesome for folks dealing with small spaces. First, there is the lounge room, with seating made up of painted pallets (and on the wall to hang the TV).

Then there’s the dining room with an expandable dining table created by 2 tables of almost the same size on casters where one has it’s legs cut slightly shorter so it can roll under the other. LOVE THAT!

This bathroom is adorable. A whole bunch of mirrors for visual interest, a concrete slab (?) counter made to fit in an awkward corner and a pail for a sink. Industrial chic! (Love that wall-mount faucet!)
