Interior Design Sense

More and more homes these days have a color theme. We would like to show you Maison NW, a work studio located in Saint-Ouen, near Paris, but also a private colorful home. The huge workshop spreads over an area of 1,937 square feet and has three levels. Architect Nathalie Wolberg is the owner of this place which is said to carry “her own personality, own desires, passions, even pathological deficiencies”. We think the living space looks really cool and unusual. The approach is a modern one, and the lighting effects are quite spectacular. The stairs connecting the three floors are also unusual, some might say a bit dangerous, due to the fact that there is no hand-grab available. We absolutely love the net in the forth picture and we think it is an idea that could be applied at a large scale.-via Archinect

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?

Located in one of Stockholm’s most attractive and exclusive areas,this small apartment is an example of how to make the best of a limited living space.This well-planned apartment features large windows giving good natural light, wide spaces and excellent storage opportunities, including a large basement. The living room is airy and decorated in light materials. On the floor lies a very beautiful Dutch patterned parquet floor. The wall-mounted lockers are welcomed in a space like this.The kitchen is located between the hall and the room and it offers plenty of cooking space.  There is an ingenious built-in-wardrobe in the hall way. As you can see, the secret to this arrangement is finding creative storage spaces. It is amazing how things are not crowded, even though we are dealing with a one-room home. -via Innerstadsspecialisten

Who doesn’t love the idea of large windows, sometimes so wide that they they become the house’s walls? This is the main thing we liked about this place, but as we discovered it, many interesting elements surfaced. The Ansley Park Glass House belongs to architects  Brian Bell and David Yocum and is located in a historic neighborhood in Atlanta. The project consisted in a renovation of a 1910’s house which the architecture company turned into a contemporary, comfortable living space. Due to the dark colors, the house gives away a mysterious feeling that is only softened by the presence of the large windows, allowing the visitor to glimpse inside. Interiors as, as expected, very spacious. However, the wooden furniture and the color palette strengthen the idea of a “dark”‘, enigmatic residence-via SwipeLife

This apartment is a great example of red interior design. The contrast between white and red is played throughout the living space and does a great job of offsetting each color and creating overall decorative balance. The pictures made me first think of the famous Henri Matisse painting at the MOMA in New York called “The Red Studio”. In the painting the artist’s interpretation of red is spread throughout the design of the room much like the pictures of this living space. Via.

These modern kitchens by Effeti will renew your appetite for hot trends – from their contemporary lines to their saturated hue, these two new designs are what’s really cooking in the kitchen in 2010. The Segno kitchen features a modern, minimalist look with streamlined cabinets and handles, seamless countertops and furniture melding into a combined eating-entertaining-living space. A simple white finish gives these cabinets unlimited longevity, and to get your color fix you can paint your walls the “it” shade of the season. But if you’re teetering on the edge of a color dive, the Sinuosa kitchen looks as stunning in vivid yellow as in its cool, contemporary counterpart of pure white, illustrating the versatility of this modern collection. Taking that one step further, this customizable, flexible kitchen design can be angled at 45 degrees, so its configurations can take many twists and turns. Both kitchens are by designer Giancarlo Vegni. For more information visit Effeti.

If you’re looking to add a bit of organic, natural feel to your living space, I suggest you take a look at this Signature Shelf. The Korean studio Metaconcrete constructed the shelving unit from a single piece of metal plate. This is pieced by vertical metal columns which act as both support and delineate sections of the bookshelf. This stylish and sleek shelf will surely form part of any home’s interior design whilst keeping our books and other small items all together and in order. – Via – Homedosh
