Black and white apartment in Copenhagen

This apartment is located in Copenhagen and belongs to a graphic designer and a head chef of the gourmet restaurant. They both like the order and different beautiful things. The building itself is quite old so the apartment was renovated when current owners had got it. The whole apartment’s area is 120 square meters. It is divided for two zones: a living space and a bathroom with a room for a washing machine and a dryer. A lot of woodwork were done for the apartment during the renovation. It’s got completely black wood floors with several furniture pieces from the same wood. These black floors and furniture were mixed with white walls and white furniture pieces so the interior doesn’t look too dark. Thanks to large windows there are a lot of natural light during the day and that also helps to make the apartment more livable. Among other things in the apartment you could find interesting bringt decorations that catch attention in the black and white background.

Swedish interior design usually is very comfortable and practical. This open floor apartment is great example of that. It’s located in small but very beautiful city Linnéstaden. The building where it’s located is quite old but the apartment is renovated so the contemporary interior design in addition to 3.40 meter ceilings make these 58 square meters of the living space very comfortable for those who own it. Four windows facing west brings a lot of natural light into the apartment so it look much bigger than it is. The open floor plan is perfect for socializing and social interaction for owners and their friends. White painted walls and boarded wood floors are things that leaves an outstanding impression of cleanness and naturalism .

Home Bathroom Fixtures: 10 Ideas for Tile, Tubs & Toilets

It is easy to be misled by designer products into thinking that your own bathroom will be as cool, contemporary, clean and serene as those shown in the picture-perfect catalog photos. That disclaimer aside, however, here are some inspirational images of ten tile, toilet, tub designs combined with sink, shower and lighting layouts that illustrate not only bathroom-specific design ideas but more general strategies and solutions for professional as well as DIY redesign projects.

Whether or not you choose these particularly products, these pictures contain embedded design ideas you could well use for your own do-it-yourself home bathroom remodel. Large, solid, white and round fixtures, for example, are shown looking quite nice against small, simple and square black wall tile. If you have space to do so, setting a single central fixture apart from its surroundings (such as a bathtub in the middle of a room) is a clever way to create a sense of hierarchy in an otherwise cluttered bathroom.

Cold industrial metal wall panels work well with elegant white sinks and toilets hanging from them and a warm wood-slat flooring below. As a kind of inverse strategy, a warmly-textured, white-painted brick wall functions as a friendly-feeling counterpart to a clean, sleek and shiny poured-concrete floor surface.

A combination of soft and hard, direct and indirect, natural and artificial light can lend a sense of dynamism and change to a room typically more private and enclosed than most.

These compositional techniques are not entirely unique or new – they are common in other forms of contemporary (visual and physical) industrial, home interior, furniture, furnishing and fixture design as well – in many ways, timeless design strategies rendered as specific solutions for remodeling one of the most universal home spaces: your bathroom.

Master Bathrooms Gallery: 10 Modern Design Idea Photos

Some of the best designs have a dramatic twist, a hidden surprise that makes them worthy of note. Others are simply remarkably for their elegant simplicity, even if they are clean, perfect and idealized beyond the realm of real-life possibility – like the great (but expensive) ideas in these designer bathroom pictures.

Still, while you may not have as much room as the bathrooms in these images do, some of these strategies still apply. Diffuse natural (or even artificial) lighting around a shower or bath tub, for example, can make for a more intimate bathroom space. A basin also often looks more contemporary and clean than a built-in sunken sink.

Simple black and white works well in the background with wood and mirror accents, and simple partitions even in smaller bathroom spaces can assist in compartmentalizing various functions and zones. Done right, these kinds of tricks avoid the need for excessive decorating as well – the painting and materials make up the decor.

Extra shelving, wall-hung mirrors, cabinets and vanities can help a space feel more open, light and free of clutter

owerful Interior Design Based on Pattern and Color

Who says you need elaborate faux ornamentation or ostentatious luxury furniture to make an interior design unique and amazing? Not only does a focus on coloring and patterning a space save money but it can make at least as much of a statement as most furniture-centric interior designs.

Inspired by the changing of seasons outside of this apartment, from winter grays and blacks through summer greens and autumn oranges – from one room to the next throughout this vast series of interior spaces.

With little of the traditional interior decoration left from this 1800s apartment space, they were forced to use outside inspiration to fill in what had become a rather dull and plain set of rooms.

Stark white furniture was used through as a way to set it apart from the brightly-colored floors and walls, keeping the design from becoming too busy and emphasizing the distinction between object and context.

While the patterns at any one location might seem playful and random there is a very rigorous overall pattern to the colors used from one space to the next, creating a series of complex spatial sequences that were planned from the outset.

Green Conversion: Religious Space to Spacious Loft Condo

What were once spaces for worship remain places for reflection, but where windows were adorned with colored glass clear glazing now allows for amazing views out on the East Village from this elegant three-story home.

A synagogue until a few decades ago, the building was first divided into multiple living units before being reopened, reconnected and turned into a wonderful multi-story adaptive reuse residence in a beautiful building right in the heart of Manhattan.

21 Rooms in 1 Flat: Creative Space Saving Condo Design

On a budget in a big city, how do you work 350 square feet of apartment space into luxury living quarters?

This fascinating experiment with transforming interior spaces includes a steam room, home cinema and many other high-end amenities not found in most living spaces of comparable seize. A series of sliding walls contain spaces within them but also hide drawers, shelves and other useful storage places for DVDs, CDs and other objects that normally displace interior space. In short: they define space as walls but also double as doors and dividers.

Fold-down desks and other fold-out design elements are another essential part of his space-saving strategy, converting empty space into seating, surfaces and beds as needed. Instead of using valuable wall space for his big-screen TV, the designer put the moving screen over an existing window to give that limited square footage a dual purpose. Originally a cramped rental unit shared by Chang and his parents, he has since purchased this property in order to develop it into a transforming dream home.

Small Space Living + Giant Interior Design & Decor Ideas

Living with small apartment square-footage or a cramped condo layout does not have to mean thinking small about constructing and decorating your space, as illustrated by glacier-inspired interior design idea. Contemporary and classy at a glance, modern in color and material, this remodeled apartment is clearly cool in more ways than one – and the back-lit white surfaces do almost seem like sheets of ice between a resident and the outside world.

The design idea carries throughout the space, making the entire place seem more like a landscape than a series of individual rooms and thus bigger and rendering detailed decor largely unnecessary. This design thread culminates in a tiered series of white steps leading up to a rooftop deck from which the rest of the city and mountains can be seen all around.

More than simply tying the spaces together visually, the use of these tiered forms and layered structures makes for a surprisingly dynamic and customizable living experience – nooks and crannies are spread around for seating purposes and as storage niches. The visual complexity of the entire composition makes for an ever-changing interior landscape where the decor is inherent in the architecture itself and the once small-seeming space becomes a larger place for all kinds of interaction. The entry area, living room, kitchen, dining, bedroom and even the bathroom become an amorphous collection of spaces strung together that can be closed off or left open to connect the entire interior design.

Small Apartment Design + Dramatic Interior Decorating

Pop Art meets Modernism meets Minimalism in this remarkable small apartment design, at once unified through a common theme of curves but still exceedingly eclectic in the set of colors, shapes and lights that vary throughout. One could imagine anyone from a 1920s mob boss to a 1940s film noir star or even a 1980s pop rock celebrity feeling right at home in this unusual series of interior spaces.

The architects of A.A. Studio were able to visit before construction of the interior room partitions were finished. They were inspired by the small space despite (or perhaps because) of its limited layout, the unusual sizes of structural beams and uncomfortably low ceilings – the architectural results of their inspection were (as these photos show) surprising, strange, sublime and surreal.

Instead of reacting against these spatial limitations, they played with exaggerating and transforming them using subtle lighting strategies but also cheap-but-effective construction tricks – like a plywood panel cut-out over the hallway bookcases.

Except for the splashes of patterned light and ominous colors that emerge from some of the lamps, there is very little in the living room area of this apartment by way of decor. A small Pop Art panel above the bed and colorfully faced cabinets give the bedroom and bathroom, respectively, a sense of being something else while still fitting them somehow within the overall visual themes of the entire set of rooms.
