Interior Design Sense

How’s this for “body shop chic?” This cool tire table from Tavomatico features two circular discs of plexiglass – one on the top and one on the bottom, turning a tire into a tabletop with storage space inside. Four small wheels mounted to the bottom let you roll this unusual table to your desired location – in the living room or den, home office, studio, or to the man cave – this piece is certainly dressed the part! The thick, chunky tire tread brings a bit of built-in texture to the design, but it’s all been finished to make it smooth, odorless and resistant to wear and tear. But with its original intended use for the road, there’s not much this little table can’t take. The traditional black finish screams industrial chic, or opt for a vibrant color to transform this former auto element into a fabulous furniture piece. An optional LED light takes this modern table to the next level. The tire table is available in a range of sizes and color options. Check it out by visiting Tavomatico.

The Napali sectional sofa from German company Bretz Wohntraume is what contemporary customizable comfort is all about. This cozy corner couch comes with three basic components: the extension element (outfitted with one backrest), the corner section (with two backrests placed at a right angle), and an ottoman. From here, it’s entirely up to you how you will piece these versatile parts together, or separately – cozy loveseat for two or a straight sofa for 20, a corner configuration, a U-shaped lounging area, or plan out your living room with coordinated seating to accommodate as many people as your room can hold! And if you can’t commit to one particular set-up. you can rearrange these pieces as often as you’d like. These modular components are accented by large, plush cushions that call you to sit, lean, lie back and lounge. The luxurious velvet upholstery comes together in an eclectic yet cohesive patchwork of complementary colors and patterns. We don’t know which we love more – the rich purple shade with gold-toned pattern, or the deep blue accented with shimmering emerald green. Visit Bretz Wohntraume for more info.

If you’d like to send me photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow my basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off…and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it’s dark or fuzzy then it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.com and PLEASE don’t send closeups of your pet! Thanks!

We were preparing to leave for a wedding the other day and after preparing the dogs, my brother in law took this beautiful picture in our living room. The photographer’s name is Fernando Toledo and Nena and Pablo are posing for him.
