This weekend home in the Kiev suburbs comes from the talented designers at Yo Dezeen . The appearance and feel of luxury was achieved for this particular family home without breaking the bank. The resulting space is a perfect retreat for a family of five that each has their own unique tastes but must figure out how to live - and relax - together.

And this home rendered out(computer generated) by Garciarchitek is a glowing example of what we are trying to point out here....

In fact, this season has become a playground for new materials, unexpected color stories, sculptural forms, and inventive ways to express warmth that feel more personal than traditional décor ever could.

We thought long and hard before giving this a go and it was the sheer beauty of these photos that finally tempted us to feature this.

I recently got to see Ocean’s Twelve again and this time I seriously decided to pursue an aspect of the movie that intrigued me so much the first time I saw it. Remember the Francois Toulour’s (aka Nightfox, the ace french thief) stunning residence they show somewhere in the middle of the movie? I have always wanted to know the whereabouts of the place but it is only this encore of the movie that actually gave me the motivation to find it....

This one is for the craft lovers among you. If you want into step into the delightful world of creating flowers from paper, this is the perfect book to start you off.

If you fancy art in your rooms, you would love the work of Italian visualization artist Michelle Damian. Michelle’s studio Pixel3D produces some great concepts that revolve around art and sculpture. Imagine a lifeless blank canvas, an empty white box, an apartment that has nothing inside coming to life with addition of simple, yet unique pieces.
