A project by NK Interior , the Ethereal Escape is where elegance meets tranquility. From the soft curves to the interplay of natural light, every detail plays its part in redefining modern luxury. This space blends minimalist aesthetics with organic elements, creating a personal retreat that gives residents a break from the chaos of the world. The thoughtfully designed living area uses oversized, modular sofas. These take up a good portion of visual estate but remain low to the floor to maintain the sleek vibe....

This architectural creation, by firm Medveczky & Gothárd , entitled the SZB House, is decorated in warm earthy tones, rich woods and creamy ceramics that all work together in perfect harmony to create and cool understated calm amongst the distinctly high spec finishes.

Sometimes all it takes is some carefully placed splashes of color to really bring a space to life. In these two apartments, meticulously designed by the Ukraine-based team at Mooseberry Design , we can see just what a difference some vibrance can make. In the living room, the use of color is eye-popping. In the custom sofa design, we almost get the illusion of three separate sofas in one while proving that ‘coordinating’ isn’t synonymous with ‘matching....

How many ways could you think to decorate the same 24 square meter apartment? Martin Architects set the stage with a tidy layout, and designer Landusheva Nastia took to the drawing board to explore a range of styles that would work well with the interior.

The wall mounted faucet takes the form of a neat glass shelf, complete with a place for a small floral display....

Commissioned by Lord Rothschild and located on the expansive grounds of a Buckinghamshire estate, it effortlessly adapts to the distinctive surrounding landscape, both in terms of its stepped profile and rugged material composition....

Barbies and young girls. We will probably never understand the connection between them but that doesn’t make us not appreciate the creativity involved in this structure that is devoted to the world’s most famous and loved doll. Mattel, the parent company that own some of the world’s top toy brands, (including Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fischer Price & American Girl) has gifted this amazing toy store called ‘House of Barbie’ to Shanghai city in China....

These gorgeous minimalist interiors – both by Oporski Architektura – demonstrate that high contrast themes are just as good at looking soft and casual as they are creating visual drama. Both enjoy the warmth of light-colored wood cladding carefully balanced with white walls. The first home goes heavy with black details by integrating them with semi-permanent features like countertops and large furniture, while the second home goes with a more flexible approach by using darker colors only on superficial elements like pendant lamps....

Brick is undeniably warm, beautiful, and timeless. But those who are lucky enough to have brick walls may face one of several common dilemmas like the desire to brighten a room with a fresh coat of paint, the struggle involved with restoring brick in disrepair, or the inability to hang a picture with a standard nail. In cases like these, leaving a single accent wall untouched can offer the best of both worlds....

While you could certainly argue that even the most monochromatic interiors are using color in a creative way, there is something particularly satisfying about the bold look of very bright colors, used shamelessly. In these three apartments from designer Sergey Makhno , color and playfulness is in the foreground at every turn. From wild Moroccan-inspired patterns and textured walls to the bold blues of oceanscape paintings, these homes are so full of life they look as though they might start breathing at any moment....

Luckily, there are multifunctional pieces of furniture that can help keep your interior decor at its best. Cue storage ottomans. Not only are storage ottomans great at stashing away odd and ends, but they can also provide extra table space, more seating, and tons of additional style....

With sleek lines and neutral color palettes, modern design can sometimes stand in stark contrast to surrounding nature. However, when a designer like Anton Biytsev is able to take the most important tenets of modern beauty and bring in natural elements as well, it can really bring a space to life. The five Kiev apartments here were each designed by Biytsev. They include a lot of grey, white, and natural wood but each also features an interior vertical garden....

Entertainment walls have become an important living room feature, and now provide stiff competition for the traditional feature fireplace. TV lovers want their box in pride of place to achieve the optimum viewing angle, so increasingly the lounge fireplace is being bumped to a side wall or corner adornment. This interior reshuffle leaves space to imagine a new living room feature wall with the TV at its centre. It also presents extra requirements for storage of receiver and recorder equipment, plus movie media, consoles and games....
