Robert and Cortney Novogratz have more than one reason to be famous. Besides being self-taught designers they have 7 kids all under the age of 13! Well, actually it is not just that; while coping up with the battalion, they manage to work on their design projects and also star in a reality television series! Needless to say, the house is massive, with several rooms amongst which include a gym, a basketball court and spaces that show plenty of personality....

Russian artist and art theorist, Vasily Kandinsky once described the color white as “a great silence that shrouds its life from our understanding…not a dead silence but one pregnant with possibilities”. He lived generations ago, but we feel that this contemporary villa by Beel and Achtergael Architects would have befitted a true art enthusiast like him. The fort like exterior provides privacy from the street and does not prepare you for the openness, clever use of shape and size, nor the resulting tranquility that awaits through the doors....

Step into the serene embrace of this open-plan Nordic home in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, where four spacious bedrooms promise rest and respite.

Taking architectural chances is not uncommon in the homes we feature on this site, but this spacious house on Oak Pass in Beverly Hills is perhaps one of the most creative - and most beautiful. Aside from its stark and stylish modern choices, the house is built with an upside down program. Instead of ascending to the houses’ private spaces, bedrooms are hidden in the hillside and covered with a roof that grows edible herbs....

This set of sophisticated home designs, rendered by designer Art Ann , displays a distinct taste for the finer things in life, with quality upholstery and top class finishes these interiors would not be cheap to come by, but inspirational elements can be adapted to a more modest home too. This soft black leather bed is a wonderful statement piece, but you don’t have to break the bank to get a similar look; there is a whole host of convincing leatherette beds on the market at a fraction of the price of their cow hide cousins....

For years, gray dominated the world of interiors. Cool tones were everywhere, from flooring to furniture to walls. But trends move in cycles, and now brown, the earthy neutral we once associated with the ‘70s and early 2000s, is making a stylish comeback. Unlike before, today’s brown interior design is anything but dated. With its rich, grounding quality, brown brings warmth, sophistication, and a sense of timelessness that feels refreshing after decades of cooler palettes....

It is not unusual to hear the phrase, “I need a holiday to recover from my holiday!” There are obviously many alternatives to a whirlwind tour that spans continents and takes in as many sights as possible, but the Como Shambhala Estate in Bali offers more than superficial rest and relaxation: it offers a very real opportunity to change a life. Assisted by a Yogi, Nutritionist and Ayurvedic Doctor, guests are invited to learn what it means to truly unwind and reconnect with their bodies through the use of a state-of-the-art gym and exploration of their stunning surroundings by means of various engaging outdoor activities....

give us an enormous amount of leeway when it comes to the creativity we put into designing them. There are are certain rules of compliance in order for one to function properly but once that is established, the plethora of ideas and aesthetics available to materialize it are virtually endless. And when food is the central focus of family life, the openness needed to interact with those outside of the kitchen is becoming just as essential as the space needed to float around freely within it....

Update: We have compiled a more comprehensive list taking into account several new ceiling fan models which have come out recently. You can view it here: 50 Unique Ceiling Fans That Help You Underscore Any Style You Choose I have seen interior designers cringe at the mention of the term ‘ceiling fan’. Majority of designers despise them for a reason. They believe that ceiling fans(at least the usual ones) severely compromise the aesthetics of a room and act somewhat as a sour spot....

The Alder Apartment by Anastasiia Korpaleva is instantly calming. The space feels fresh yet grounded, like a cool breeze moving through a sunlit forest. This space is designed for a young couple and their dog, and, as such, it’s the perfect balance between function and feeling. In this space, cool colors meet warm wood tones in perfect harmony. Think soft white walls, pistachio accents, touches of sky blue, and deep blueberry hues, all resting against a foundation of natural oak....

Grey interiors, whilst gorgeous, can slide easily into a cool spectrum that appears a little chilly and even uninviting. There are many ways to combat this, from attractively encasing walls with modern textured wall panelling and employing lush soft furnishings to adding small pops of contrasting accent colours and modern artwork. In this pair of inspirational home designs, we’re looking at how to warm up cool grey home interiors with welcoming warm lighting schemes, including unique table lamps, stylish floor reading lamps, atmospheric courtyard lighting, and quietly recessed perimeter mood lighting....

Craft rooms and home studios are usually busy places buzzing with activity. These are the home offices of creative people whose spaces often reveal so much about themselves. In this post we limit the images to those that feature rooms that are not too high tech. No cool computer setups , ergonomic workstations or geeky decor in them; just plain old school creative rooms!

Ventilation is key in super hot climates, which is exactly why the perforated cobogo block was dreamed into existence back in the 1920s. Based on wooden muxarabis, these are an inheritance of Arab culture, and so make a poetic twist in this monolithic elevation redesign in Funaitees, Kuwait. Created by Bab.nimnim Design Studio , the 400 square metre Cobogo house contains a luxurious interior, with an uplifting range of accent colours and modern art....

A grey day is dreary and cool and can put you into a bit of a funk. So why would you want to bring that drizzly, damp color into your home? Because it can actually be a beautiful and seductive neutral. After all, it’s no mistake that the hit book-turned-film 50 Shades of Grey uses the color right there in its title. There are so many different shades and textures that can really bring grey to life, letting an interior feel like a soft, comfortable embrace....

Ever-popular vizualist, Vic Nguyen has once again proved to be an enduring source of inspiration with this collection of interiors that are quintessentially modern, yet delve deeper into Nguyen’s experimentation with that, which is both, organic and industrial. This exercise in a fusion of philosophies is particularly evident in these, the first two of the spaces to follow. They each build on a white canvas using blonde wood and natural elements such as timber cladding, stone and marble, but begin to diverge in their employment of styling....

There are so many different pieces that go into the creation of a film. From the first keystroke that starts to write a story, characters with all their inherent quirks, traits, and personality are spun from thin air. When a film actually starts to take shape on-screen, those traits have to be reflected not just in the actor chosen to portray the character, but in the scenery, design, and every image....

John Huff, the inventor of the Floating Bed thought, “What would the ideal bed look like, feel like, and what benefits would it provide?” What features would make everyone really LOVE their bed?“… After considering the special relaxation of a gentle rocking motion, which has been scientifically proven as beneficial to us, but ruling out the back bending, and unstable, poor solution that is the hammock, the waterbed and the four point hanging bed-all of which Huff deems as “simply not that good to sleep on, because their motion is all wrong”-the inventor realized that the key to the ideal bed was the Omni-Pendulum or “Floating” Motion....

This urban modern house was designed by Bassam el Okeily and Karla Menten in Bilzen, Belgium. The architects did an amazing job bringing a transparent mysteriousness to the facade of this home which is made entirely of glass and behind it layered and protruding angles, cut outs for the two balconies. Their philosophy is rooted with the concept of suspending time to strip environments down and appreciate the beauty of simplicity....

It is nothing new and we have seen them before . Google offices do make people go green with envy and at times make them rethink their choice of a workplace. This awe that it creates on a viewer is no accident. In fact, it is part of a bigger business plan. Google is one of the first companies in the valley that focused on an ‘ultimate employee experience’ and it is one of the reasons why the industry elites flocked to it in huge numbers during its early days....
