Located on a quiet street that is parallel to a busy boulevard in Alsancak, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods of Izmir, Turkey, stands an unusual interior conversion. Originally the brief called for the ground and upper floor of this building (which is part of a five story block of flats) to be made into a dedicated photo studio only. During the course of the design process, the client and architect teams Zaas , and Yerce , reimagined the space and agreed that this could go beyond being just a studio....

Stylish white decor schemes aren’t as simple or easy to get right as some may think. Sure, a blank palette takes away the margin for error in terms of clashing colour but go too plain and you’re in danger of living inside of a bland box. There are actually quite a few white shades out there ! Paint pots come labelled with curiosities like: Navajo White, Seed Pearl, Silver Lining and Whisper....

These two separate apartment designs explore décor solutions for one young bachelor and one young bachelorette. The first apartment is a chic and sleek affair that edges on the more masculine side, but overall the result is a gorgeous space that would be enjoyed by either gender. Home number two is an extremely feminine concoction that might even be too girly for some girls! Visualizer:Andrey Volkov Designed by visualizer Andrey Volkov, the look builds slowly with a minimalistic living room scheme that gathers its warmth from the rich wood tone of the entertainment feature wall....

The owners of this remarkable house hit a stage in life where they could redefine their needs and reimagine their surroundings.

By Rebecca Macaulay This collaborative design effort features the genius of Stephan Jaklitsch of Jaklitsch/ Gardner Architects and challenges how studio spaces are thought of. It does comply with a fundamentally open plan principle, but not out of space-maximizing necessity. It is defiantly grand and reflects a freedom of choice rather than an adherence to convention. This space unapologetically and luxuriously accommodates the modern professional couple, while exuding a family-friendly warmth....

With a neighboring pine tree forest, this home had to embrace a little wood tone within its walls, but on this occasion we don’t find the yellow tones of highstreet pine pieces, but more of a rich walnut hue spanning huge areas of wall paneling, along with matching tables of different sizes. With an overall area of 440 square meter (4736 square feet), this smart but simple interior, designed by Alexey Obrazcov, embraces an open plan living, dining and cooking area where the dwellers and their guests can wander freely between the zones....

In an era where modern designs are often praised for lack of clutter and clean precise lines, many artists are afraid to include the real elements of living, like family photos, souvenirs and other everyday comforts. However, Romi Volentino has taken his considerable 3D visualization skill and added vibrant colorful elements wherever he can. These interiors still have a modern aesthetic, but with a funky bohemian vibe that make them stand out from much of the design crowd....

Inspired by the character of a fine art-loving homeowner and realized by the creative vision of Between The Walls , this Ukrainian home features a colorful meld of Provençal and Scandi twists. The 94-square-meter home in Kyiv is a white canvas, splashed with bold patterns and mixed textures. No element corresponds to the next, yet there is visual harmony that delights and charms. Adding to the welcoming eclectic allure is an eco-friendly essence, which emphasizes the homeowner’s commitment to sustainable living....

This magnetically levitating modern planter can help you add some whimsy to any space you choose for it. When designing a kids room, it is easy to slip into the old tropes of blue, pink, and yellow. The designs featured in this post take a different stance. By incorporating dark navy blue, black, and red these designers do not take away from the youthfulness of their designs, they just add a bit more personality to them....

Cozy bohemian character shapes these two welcoming home designs, one buzzing with Mediterranean colour, the other chilled in monochrome. The element that these two interiors do have in common is a plethora of enlivening botanical beauty. Indoor plants and dried displays bring feathered texture and height to eclectic layouts. Wood and rattan components make earthy accessories to the green botanics, natural pieces that could have been sourced from anywhere in the world or brought home from far flung adventures....

Tonal grey decor and wooden accents culminate into a cosy-chic aesthetic within these three modern home interiors. In our first inspirational home design, we visit a living room with a textural decor scheme and a host of high-end furniture. The stylish living space, however, is completely overshadowed by a striking entryway design with a punchy orange colour blocked treatment and a cool modern staircase design. Our second featured home interior is a deeply shaded design with atmospheric mood lighting, a plethora of indoor plants, and an industrial feel....

Gentle and soothing, yet textured and interesting, this 89 square metre apartment interior offers the ideal space in which to regroup and rejuvenate. Located in Baku, Azerbaijan, the home design was visualised by Kamran Karimov to include a warm and light colour palette for psychologically calming effects.

Ribbed wall panels and glass fixtures create a recurring theme throughout each and every room of the modern home, creating comforting cohesivity....

Impressively large rooms with high ceilings and wide windows build these two exceptional rustic Mediterranean style villa designs. A warming palette of natural materials covers each room in the shape of relaxed rattan furniture, jute rugs, rustic wicker pendant light shades, burlap drapes, and hessian throws. Visualised by Anastasia Bulycheva , the texture-rich accessories are met by raw wall render and fresh infusions of indoor plants. Sliding glass doors adjoin indoor and outdoor living spaces to make the most of warm and glorious weather....

There is nothing more exciting than walking into a kid’s room for that radical splash of color, cool toys and a feeling of nostalgia us grown ups often long for. Modern themed rooms however, are typically less intuitive and more focused on injecting color and molding interesting forms and hidden compartments out of the furniture itself. Now if kids knew anything about the quality of Italian products, they would probably lay off the Chef Boyardee (and Dora the Explorer for that matter....
