A Little Inspiration From The City!

Here are some great loft apartments! Check these fabulous city spaces!

(www.yochicago.com)
I love the charm of this space. It has a great contemporary feel with rustic hints. The ceiling with the exposed duct work is also a great part of the overall feel of this space.



(www.xar126-monsterlinks.blogspot.com)
This space is one of my favorites. I love the exposed brick, and the huge windows. The flooring is beautiful and that rug is fabulous. Love how intimate this seating area feels, while still maintaining an open airy feel. Really fun space.

How amazing is this space! This loft is several floors of fabulousness! I love how you can see down from the floor above, and the mix of contemporary and traditional aspects. The dark woods mixed with the glass and metal accents really make each aspect pop individually.

This is a loft space in New York City. This shows the living room of the apartment, it is smaller in size but how gorgeous are those windows? Absolutely breathtaking! I also love the bright red wall. The simple feel works great in this space because it doesn't take away from the view.

Here are some great spaces with a Moroccan touch! Check them out!

This space is contemporary with a little touch of Moroccan. It is soft, elegant, and hints at the Moroccan feel. I love the how they have incorporated the arched doorways, as well as the Moroccan hanging pendants. Very tastefully done.


(Interiordesignsworld.com)
This space is beautiful. Again, with a touch of tasteful Moroccan style, this space is brought to life. The vibrant colors make this room really pop. Especially against the white painted walls. The brick ceiling is absolutely gorgeous and the lantern pendant chandelier adds a great touch as well.

I love how soothing and calming this space looks and feels. The light drapery treatment over the bed adds a hint of Moroccan style as well as the mirror hung on the wall. The design around the mirror is a beautiful Moroccan design, as well as the pillows, great finishing touches!




(Saffronandsilk.blogspot.com)
I love the eclectic feel of this space, it brings in a classic Moroccan feel with the furniture, tile around the fireplace, and the architectural detail. The colors are beautiful, and it really has an overall calming feel.

T.V.s In the Kitchen!

Today's technology is getting greater and greater, we are now using the greatest innovations in our kitchens, here's some kitchens incorporate T.V.s! Check these great spaces out!

(kitchendesignidea.blogspot.com)
This is an updated kitchen, this TV is used in a nice way, its just the right size. It allows the eat in part of the kitchen to view the television, and it is finished in a white which allows it to blend in with the cabinets.




(kitchendesignidea.blogspot.com)
This is another great idea of ways to incorporate a television into your kitchen. Here is showcases an undercabinet, flip down television. This is great to keep it almost hidden or out of the way. This is a great idea for cooks that like to watch their cooking shows or tutorials as they are cooking their meals.



(www.ubergizmo.com)
Here is a contemporary kitchen with a built in television into the cabinet. How great is this? With the sleek design of this kitchen, the television fits in almost as part of the hardware with the cabinet. Plus, the great part about a built in cabinet TV, is the size.



17" Breakfast Bar TV - Click Image to Close
(waterprooftvs-direct.com)
This is a really nice looking addition to this space. This is a traditional space, with a updated feel. The television really adds a cool look to this kitchen, as well as being functional. The reason this works, over the stove? Waterproof covered television unit. Almost gives any option  the placement of the television in your kitchen. Great again for those cooking shows or videos.
 
 
 
17" Kitchen Splashback TV - Click Image to Close
(waterprooftvs-direct.com)
This television is incorporated within the backsplash. For a super contemporary kitchen this look really works. It almost appears hidden, great look, and can be installed on a slider so it can move back and forth.

Backsplash Ideas!

Here are some great backsplash ideas to think about and maybe utilize in your own space! Spice up or update your kitchen with some of these great ideas! 


stainless backsplashes mosaic sink
(HGTV.com )
Stainless steel is seen here in the form of small tiles, it gives the glass mosaic feel but with a different texture. This is a really sleek look, and one that is timeless. Stainless steal is easy to maintain and gives off a crisp, sharp look. With the high sheen and silver finish, the white countertops really start to pop in this space! 




metal backsplashes bronze decorative
(HGTV.com)
This is a really great look, with a bronze finish, it adds a super unique look to the backsplash. The metal plates and ribbon at the bottom add decorative flare, and the tiles are turned horizontally, really beautiful! Its great they carried that same bronze finish to the sink. Great look!





metal backsplashes mixed metals
(HGTV.com)
This is a great look, again done in bronze. However, here the tiles are turned in a random pattern to create visual interest. Super sleek and unique look. This way you can get creative with the selection of where the tiles go, or just place them at random to give you a great look no matter what! One of my favorites!




(HGTV.com)
This is a super unique look that I haven't seen done in a kitchen before. This gives off a vintage look, while adding so much character to the space. Cost effective to if your budget it small. Gives off a super crisp and clean look, and is really simple. Great idea!

Wallcoverings!

Yes, Wall-paper is back my friends! You heard correct! Here is a look at some of my favorite installations. Enjoy!

(www.pepperjackinteriors.wordpress.com)


This is a fabulous wall covering done with a metallic silver and lime green. The way the accessories pick up on the lime green of the wall paper makes both the paper itself and the accessories really pop. I love the overall design, vintage yet contemporary. Love the mix!

This wall covering installation is super unique, as it doesn't cover the whole wall as a normal installation would. It is used as a background or backdrop for the bed. The way it becomes a 3-D like structure is very innovative. The crisp of the white with the creamy neutrals make this space breathtaking and beautiful.


interior design wallpaper
(www.buynoworegon.org/interior-design-wallpaper)

Wallpaper can be used in different ways, here it is used on an accent wall. This helps the overall feel of the space. The damask black wall covering itself is fabulous, but when mixed with the contemporary furniture it really makes a statement. It takes a more traditional wall covering and makes it super contemporary looking. Love the use of black in this wall covering and space.


(www.homeklondike.com)

Wallpaper can be used in many areas, bathrooms are a great space to utilize wallpaper in. Here the wallpaper makes a subtle statement, it is elegant and beautiful. The colors are just stunning, and the freestanding, vintage tub, and the sleek finish on the wallpaper really make this space into something great. This space is absolutely beautiful.
