I've always leaned towards browns, blacks, creams and earthy colors in home decoration, that's the boring in me. But, I don't know, I'm kind of starting to like bright colors more. Kaleidoscope kind of colors, like turquoise, fuchsia, pink, aqua, violet, yellow, orange... all combined together.
I admit that could be a bit retina-searing sometimes, but if expertly put together... it looks something like this... I am absolutely in love with the "Jester" sofa, and the paper lanterns. Even the fruit matches! Wonderful chair covers. And chest and bed covers! I don''t think we've had enough fuchsia and pink yet, so here is more. Striking! Love this blue combined with brown. A total fairy tale. Outdoors too? And on a completely unrelated note... How about this lunch box?
Much love and color! Xoxoxo {photos via coastal living, mc maison, home sweet home. and I couldn't remember where this lunch box came from, if anybody knows, let me know} Kyu Sung Woo. Called The Interlocking Puzzle Loft, architect Kyu Sung Woo have created a surprisingly spacious two-bedroom palace crammed into 700 square feet. How did he do it? By using his creativity, he built two stories into a one-story apartment. Level Up: Sloped Hillside Home has Super-Slanted Floors. Stairs and ramps have slopes and slants, but building floors are precision-tuned to be as flat as they can be constructed … right?
This topsy-turvy rural dwelling inverts tradition and flips our architectural expectations upside-down – or at least sets them sharply on edge (Photos by Ester Havlova). Usually, building a hillside home means compensating for the exterior slopes – finding places where the natural environment can be adjusted to fit the needs of our flat-footed species. In this case, however, Sepka Architects (with client consent) worked with rather than against the grain of the surrounding topography and made most of the interior spaces steeply sloped just like the surrounding landscape. Working upward through the spiral of angled floors, residences pass storage, cooking and sleeping areas that prove exceptions to the rule. Nonetheless, most of the floor space is slanted at angles sure to appeal to the children living and playing along them.
Less is the New More: Making the Most of Small Spaces. Good Design For Living in Small ApartmentsAs people migrate to smaller spaces, good design helps a lot. This is something they figured out in Europe long ago, that if you don't have a lot of horizontal room you can go vertical. Tumidei in Italy makes some of the nicest stuff, like this unit with lots of storage under the bed.
This unit just raises the floor high enough for beds to slide under. This one looks a bit clinical, but has two single beds plus a pull-out double bed in between. When you read in the New York Times that professional couples with children are moving into small one-bedroom apartments in Manhattan and sleeping in closets, perhaps this stuff could be useful.
None of this stuff is cheap, nor, as far as I can tell is it available in North America, but there are ideas here that demonstrate how people can share a space and still get a little privacy, a good place to work and a lot of storage in a very small envelope.
