Side chairs are a versatile essential. At the dining table, they are prized for their compact footprints – ideal for the sides of a table where elbow room is tighter and where armchairs may not fit. But they also have value elsewhere around the home as well. Stylish side chairs are often used in lieu of a bench at the entryway , easily moved out of the way when needed.

The work of Frank Lloyd Wright was abundantly influential in shaping America’s architectural legacy, with his projects leaving their mark on almost every US state. These historically and architecturally significant projects have now been interpreted into colourful artistic depictions, expertly illustrated by artist Muhammed Sajid for Home Advisor . Some of the featured properties have now been demolished, damaged or renovated, but these powerful representations restore each original concept in precise tonal graphic form. The evocative collection stands to remind us of how the iconic designer’s tremendous portfolio will forever be entangled with American culture… “The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization”– Frank Lloyd Wright.
Running alphabetically through 37 states of Frank Lloyd Wright legacy, we begin our gallery in Alabama. The Rosenbaum House was the first design to draw from the Usonian Jacobs House prototype. 63 years later, the house became a museum for original Wright designed furniture.
In Arizona, one of Wright’s rare spiral designs was built for the architect’s son and daughter-in-law, David & Gladys Wright. The house plays upon a shape that would later evolve into the 1959 Guggenheim Museum.
Wright’s Usonian and Prairie designs were key in changing the way that domestic houses were constructed. This Usonian Bachman-Wilson House was relocated away from flood threat by the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas.
The Hollyhock House in California was Wright’s first West Coast design. It showcases a style born from Asian, Aztec, Maya and Egyptian architecture that Wright coined California Romanza.
The Rayward-Shepherd House in Connecticut is a horseshoe-shaped house, idyllically situated beside a waterfall on the Noroton River. The house’s official name is ‘Tirranna’, an aboriginal Australian word for running waters.
A cantilevered roof overhangs coursed fieldstone at the Usonian style Dudley Spencer residence, Delaware.
This pod-shaped home was Wright’s sole residence in Florida. The Lewis Spring House shares curvaceous characteristics with the Guggenheim museum, which was created at the same time.
This example of Wright’s passively heated & naturally cooled solar hemicycle design was brought to life in Hawaii in 1995, decades after Wright’s death.
The parallelogram-shaped Archie Teater Studio in Idaho, AKA Teater’s Knoll, is a single open plan room.
The long horizontal lines of the Avery Coonley House was designed to mirror the flat vastness of the Illinois prairie. Its exterior of colored patterns precedes Wright’s textile block houses of the 1920s.
Inspired by Wright’s first trip to Japan, Indiana’s K.C. DeRhodes House features a sloping roof like those in traditional Japanese architecture.
Eye catching dark-wood framework attractively wraps the corners of Iowa’s Stockman House. The house would later become a museum after being saved from demolition by a proud local community.
A hint of Japanese aesthetic weaves through the Allen–Lambe House in Kansas, as Wright was simultaneously designing the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
After meeting Wright during a ship voyage, Reverend Jesse R. Zeigler commissioned this Prairie-style house in Kentucky based on Wright’s article “A Fireproof House for $5000” published in the Ladies’ Home Journal in 1907.
Designed for Wright’s own son, this hemicycle home in Maryland features concentric and intersecting curves around an almond-shape structure.
Prefabricated materials and Usonian design shape the Theodore Baird House in Massachusetts.
Of four homes that Wright built in the Upjohn pharmaceutical company’s cooperative community in Michigan, the Robert & Rae Levin House was the first.
Although Wright never visited the site of this house in Minnesota, the notable Elam House is the second-largest Usonian design ever built.
Operable windows distributed cooling breezes around the elegant Charnley-Norwood House, Mississippi, on which Wright worked as a draftsman alongside designer Louis Sullivan.
Modular concrete blocks constructed The Pappas House in Missouri, in the Usonian Automatic style.
It was third time lucky on the design of the Harvey P. and Eliza Sutton House in Nebraska, after Eliza rejected the first two.

In new New Jersey, the pitched roof of the J.A. Sweeton Residence is only four feet from the ground at its lowest point.
The intriguing Arnold Friedman House in New Mexico features Wright’s first attempt at a teepee concept, roofed with cedar shakes.
The elongated ‘T’ shape of the E.E. Boynton House in New York was the result of a successful collaboration with the owner’s 21 year old daughter, Beulah.
A solid example of Wright’s Prairie style, Ohio’s Westcott House has a linear silhouette with a long roofline.
Built for the architect’s cousin, the 10,000 square feet Richard L. Jones House in Oklahoma is a larger example of Wright’s work, which features a pool, fish pond and fountain.
In Oregon, the Gordon House was saved from destruction to be opened as a museum for unique fretwork.
“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you” said Wright, and the Fallingwater masterpiece in Pennsylvania conveys this harmonious mindset perhaps more than most of his works.
In tune with the old oak trees around the 4,000-acre Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina, the exterior house walls climb at a gentle slope.
Planted at the top of a hill with views of the Tennessee River and Lookout Mountain, the Usonian Seamour and Gerte Shavin house has stonework reminiscent of Fallingwater.
A hexagonal copper dome tops the grand living room of the Gillin residence, Texas. This was the very last home completed before Wright’s death.
The angular roof of the Don M. Stromquist House soars into the Utah skyscape.
An L-shaped Usonian design, the Virginian Pope–Leighey House has moved position twice! The first move was to escape the expansion of Highway 66, the second a move of just 30 feet to escape soil instability.
The imposing Chauncey L. Griggs Property covers 3,700 square feet in Washington.
The F.G. Bogk House in Wisconsin was another home designed on the same timeline as the Imperial Hotel in Japan. Japanese design influence is clear in the broad overhang of the green-tiled hip roof.
An almost flat roof flares over the living room of the Quintin Blair House in Wyoming.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation
1. Make it an All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:Design At Sketch
Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.
2. Add Wooden Elements
Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy
This black beauty edges towards wooden elements. We see a speckled floor, a white wall, and a central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over the island, providing functionality and style. If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!
3. Complement the Black Kitchen with Orange

A bit of curve rounds out the hard edges—adding some much-needed warmth. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior. The burnt orange sure makes a design statement (apart from the unique central island).
4. Keep Your Dark Modern Kitchen Simple

A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.

An instant way to brighten up a dark kitchen (we mean, get the best of both worlds)? This kitchen space shows us how by using a white island on a black floor. The backsplash further enhances this dark-and-light effect, while the cowhide rug adds just the right amount of coziness.
9. Make Marble Your Best Friend
Architect:Chamberlain Javens Architects
If you’re looking to create a modern luxury black kitchen, you know what you’ve got to do: Go big on marble! This natural stone adds the luxe factor to any space, especially as a large, central island, as seen in the kitchen above. You can also add it through the backsplash.
10. Make it Mysterious

You can double the visual intrigue in your all black kitchen by adding some mystery. In this kitchen, mood-lighting sets the scene in black and grey, while a marbled bench acts as the hero.

11. Layer Gray and Gold

Black kitchens are cool, but what if we layer in gray and add accents of gold? This stunning kitchen space uses gray flooring to add diversity to the otherwise black palette. The thick gold panel is one way that makes the space look incredibly high-end.

Make your kitchen both modern and French with traditional black cabinetry. In this space, standing armoires act as sinks, and all other displayed items remain black. The stark white clock can surely act as the focal point of the space!
13. Consider Soft Elements

Rough, light wood and low-hanging white lights set this kitchen interior a world apart. You can also notice a layer of light gray cabinetry, adding variation to the otherwise dark color palette. These elements factor in softness to the black kitchen design.
14. Let the Accessories Do the Talking
Photographer:Mikko Ryhänen
In this black-and-wood creation, the accessories take center stage in adorning the interior. We love the houseplant, but the crockery deserves a special mention for doubling as decor. The light oakwood backdrop further warms the space up.
15. Consider a Matte All Black Kitchen

Neat square panels perfectly line up to emphasize the stark black minimalism that is at play here. We love how the cabinetry is matte black with no hardware, adding a sense of simplicity. The herb planters are a healthy green addition to bring the otherwise simple space.

Visualizer:Huso
18. Create a Modern Dark Kitchen with Gradients
Visualizer:Mario Nogueira
If you’re wondering how the intrigue in this space is working… It’s the gradients from black, to charcoal, to light grey. White surrounds in the walls and a monochromatic hanging light.

29. Let the Lighting Make a Statement in the All Black Kitchen
