Interior Design Sense

Custom Metal Home is a company located in Addison, Illinois. For today we would like to introduce you to their fresh and highly resistant collection of Stainless Steel Twist Bases & Table Tops which we consider innovative and intriguing. Here is more from the official press release they sent us:  ‘Expert engineering & a clever design allow Twist Bases to be displayed independently as a pedestal, end table, nightstand, coffee table, or simply a piece of art unlike any other. To reach the base’s full potential, Custom Metal Home offers an array of Glass and Stainless Steel Table Tops in various shapes & sizes to complement the base. This will give it more surface area and transform the Stainless Steel Twist Base into a larger coffee table, entry table, end table, nightstand, or dining table. The interior decorating possibilities are practically endless! Twist Bases are fabricated with only the highest quality stainless steel, giving them unmatched strength and the durability to last a lifetime, guaranteed! Bases and Table Tops come in a variety of sizes and are sold separately to meet the customer’s exact needs.’ Even though we salute the originality of these products, we have to ask: Freshome readers, would go for this type of furniture or do you prefer less daring designs ?

Their style can be seen from every angle and enjoyed by those who want a completely modern and contemporary architectural piece and a gorgeous interior design. This Black beauty is a newly introduced modular architectural product based on the principles of industrialized construction: production takes place in a factory and the assembly on the spot. And the best part is that even the interior design, decorations and equipment can be made available. The black exterior gives this home a mysterious look and the shine takes it up a notch. Its simplicity lies in the modular construction mode but also in the beautiful interior decorating in black and white, a signature look for A-cero. The gray parts of the decorating unite the two predominant non-colours and the green grass outside makes a striking discordance with the rest, upgrading the standards for all modern homes. Bright lights make all the perfectly fitted elements stand out.

The bright red dots in the kids room is a reminder of a child`s expectations from life: powerful perfection splashed with a hint of colour. To give more livelihood to the kids quarters the designers used bubbles to experiment with the feeling of simple joys. Surprisingly beautiful is the pool, a perfect simple form that holds the most important element: water. All in all, this house is one of the most beautiful ones in a modular form. And there is a secret: A-cero intend to give everyone a chance to have a gorgeous home like this by popularising design and constructive quality in architecture that will not leave you broke.

Designer Paola Navone has created this versatile collection of bathroom furniture – the Coco Collection – for Italian company Falper. Beautiful unique pieces of furniture stand out with their textured facade in black and white to give the idea of soft simplicity. These sophisticated designs combine white textured fronts with black lacquered sides and backs to form a refined look that best suits a woman`s sense of style. The two colours of this collection – black and white – can be used to create the idea of a Breakfast at Tiffany`s scene. The feminine Coco Collection suggests an amazing everlasting creativeness that will never go out of style. The primary inspiration for these pieces of furniture was the famous Coco Chanel – hence the collection`s name.

Spacious units offer a lot of room for bathroom necessities and the beautiful oval mirrors keep the sophisticated look clean and neat.

Part 1: Contemporary Christmas Decorating and Choosing The Right Christmas Tree

Have A Cool Contemporary Christmas

As the old song goes, Christmas is the happiest time of the year, but it’s also the busiest.  Not only do you have to do all the shopping, baking, cleaning, card sending and attend and host holiday get-togethers, you also have to decorate your home – and you want it all to be perfect.  While we may not be able to help you with your other holiday tasks, we can lend you a hand with your decorating.

One surefire way to be confident your holiday decorations look just right in your home is to use decorations that reflect the style of your other decor choices.  Is your home cool and contemporary, dressed with minimalistic furnishings and modern art pieces?  Or are you surrounded by cozy, country appeal?  Do you prefer a more formal, traditional feeling or is your home a Victorian charmer?  Whichever style you’ve used throughout your home, continuing the theme in your Christmas decor will guarantee a harmonious flow.  Let’s take a peek at a few decorating styles and see how they are accomplished.

Part 1: Contemporary Christmas Decorating and Choosing a Christmas Tree

Modern Contemporary Christmast Interior Decorating

When you’ve created a sleek, sophisticated space, often the bright colors and heartily embellished decorations used in traditional Christmas decor just don’t seem to feel right in your home. Luckily, there are some great alternatives that will fit beautifully into your contemporary decorating scheme.

The tree is usually the showpiece of the Christmas decorations, but no one says it has to be decorated in red and green.  Instead, choose a monochromatic scheme of silver and white, with just the occasional spot of scarlet or another favorite color.  A twig tree is the perfect choice. 

If you like, use clear line to hang sparkling snowflakes from the branches or add a scattering of silver or clear acrylic or glass ornaments.

Continue the theme throughout your home by framing a mirror with tiny white fairy lights that reflect in the mirrored glass or stand a collection of twigs painted white in a clear vase and add a hint of glittery spray paint to the branches to create a cool, frosty touch.

Want a little more color?  How about a pink, purple or blue theme?  Buy an artificial tree or purchase a real tree and have it flocked a pretty color.   You can even find black trees that make a dramatic statement. 

Or here’s a Christmas tree that is contemporary and colorful.  Called the tytree, after it’s designer, Ty Arnold, this tree is made from acrylic and brings a fun and festive touch to any modern space.  Check out TyTree for more.

Here is an interesting idea.  An upside down christmas tree? 

Upside down Christmas TreeFor other decorating touches, keep it simple.  A glass bowl filled with water and topped with tea light candles or cranberries floating on the surface makes a beautiful addition to a contemporary table or hang a few glass icicles across a curtain rod.

Here is another project designed by Danielle Mac Innes from Fuse Interiors, awarded ‘Best Newcomer’ at Ireland’s premier interiors show, Interior Design 2008, she has been widely recognized by the media for her fresh and unique style. This apartment was part of a new residential development situated in Dublin. The client was a large property developer and the brief was to create a unique, contemporary look that would appeal to a young market while bringing a fresh feel to the development. Fuse Interiors started with a shell and developed a strong design concept which was implemented from start to finish. The apartment has fantastic living space and now has a great individual contemporary interior style!

Almost the same as everything else we showed you from Sweden, check out a new find in Goteburg’s Lorensburg.

A special place with a sexy kitchen, a small balcony with great views of the city, stylish accessories and refined lighting to go along with the rest of the apartment, that’s one dream place to consider if you need to move in Sweden. All that white, looks incredible … – via

Kirsten Gabriëls and James Webb are the guys behind the IJburg House. Located in the Netherlands, only 20 minutes of central Amsterdam, it has the similarities of a typical canal house. With a beautiful layout and a contemporary design that charms on a first glance, the 285 sqm building features a lowered level for the children, an upper level for the parents and a bufferzone or the social area, at the ground floor. With sharp edges, a large full height glass door on the facade and elegant wood furnishings, it definitely looks like the dream home for someone ready to move in Amsterdam.

Varie Vanity designed by G. Azzarello for Porada, is what I call a killer piece of furniture. When I first saw it I’ve immediately said to myself …I want this piece of furniture, is so cool. You can use this little piece of furniture as a small office, and when you’re not using the chair you can hide it, and nobody will notice it. This idea from Porada is a great solution for small places don’t you think ?
