Interior Design Sense

These amazing interiors belong to in a beautiful apartment in Lisbon, Portugal, a place which dates back to the year 1850. However, the more interesting part is that the home was redecorated by a family and the work was done without consulting any specialists. Sure, by the way things look, you might say this is a job well done and perhaps the owners are design specialists their selves. Some of the rooms have a white theme, preserving the 1980’s style. The living room is modern and vivid, with bright colors and plenty of good taste. Interesting furniture items such as a wooden cabinet with a vintage feel are a reminder of the apartment’s “age”. You could say this is a nice mix between old and new and a very successful approach to interior design. Do you agree?-via The White Sheet

We have a special treat for you today. We found a beautiful three room apartment with inspiring interiors and we would like to share it with you.  In the images below you will notice that light is treated with a great deal of respect. Every room has large windows so that the need for artificial lighting is minimum. The living room has a young feel, is very spacious and homey. An interesting pendant lamp is the focal point of this interior and also the item that makes it stand out. The kitchen has an interesting color choice, it features appliances in stainless steel and a lot of storage space. Don’t miss out on  the really cool details such as the flower arrangements or the hung colorful paintings. As usual, in the end we invite you to share your opinions.-via Alvhem

We found this inspiring idea that could solve some of your storage problems. This suspended corner cabinet could easily fit in any apartment, has a really interesting shape and a lot of available space. Some of the items can be hidden behind the doors and others could be placed on top of it. Something like this could also be used in the entrance hall for clothing and footwear. When placed in the living-room or bedroom, the shelving system can be customized in order to best fit the storage needs. The possibilities are endless: you could use it as a bookcase, a normal cabinet or a locker. What we like most about it is the fact that it is suspended, which brings a plus of originality to the room.  Could you think of other ways of integrating this item?

This beautiful and unusual house was created by architect Tetsuya Nakazono from  Naf Architect & Design and is located in Hiroshima, Japan. The residence has a total living surface of 172, 55 square meters and it has three floors. The black cedar  material was chosen because the construction was built in a traditional Japanese area, with similar cedar projects and even cedar sake distilleries. The first level houses an entrance hall, the master bedroom, the tatami room and a bathroom. An elegant spiral staircase leads to the upper floors. As you start going up, a semi-opened space follows. We really like this concept as it offers a place where you have an unobstructed panoramic view of the surroundings. This is also a great place for a terrace. At the third floor is where the action is:  the living-room, dining room and kitchen complete this amazing home. Do you find this project as interesting as we do?-via Platforma Arquitectura

Books bring a very special feeling to a place and if you think about it, they also offer nobility. We are major book fans here and up to now, we tried to find interesting storage places for them. Recently we’ve ran across yet another great design for a bookcase. We know you might not remember this, but this is quite similar to another post that we had published on Freshome a while ago.  It is a design that brakes the usual pattern of books on horizontal shelves and brings something new to the table. It is also very aesthetic and practical. You could use each shelf for a particular letter of the alphabet in order to find the books a lot easier. For a residence that has a lot of living space, a whole room could be used in this manner. We imagine it would be a great place for reading and relaxation. What do you think?
