Orange is a warm, passionate and brilliant color of fire and sun. Do you want to always feel yourself happy and cheerful person? Then you should add some orange color to the interior! Scientists proved that this color has healthy influence on the human’s organism. It warms, stimulates and excites. But, unlike the red, it is not an external excitation, but soft and pleasant. Orange creates a sense of fun, joy, prosperity, enhances vitality, strengthens the will and makes a person more tolerant of others. So this color perfectly fits for any room where you arrange parties and receive guests. Orange color is an embodiment of warmth and coziness.

The previously reviewed house by Suppose Design Office had the unique glass roof providing generous illumination and the night sky views. This time they created the unusual solution for specific building site that was on a lower level than the driveway. The house itself is two floors below the parking so you would literally park your car on the roof. The living floors can be accessed from two stairways on the sides of the house. It has only a few auxiliary windows on the facade; however on the backside there are large floor-to-ceiling windows opening gorgeous panoramic views to the city. Typically for Japan the interior of the house is a sober and contemporary one – it’s even a little bit too cold due to concrete walls. Check out the Suppose Design Office web site for more information.

Cozy Interior with Country Style
| Mary | Share: |
Urban bustle, constant stresses are familiar to every inhabitant of the city. And so when we come home, we want comfort, quietness and closeness to nature first of all. Country style helps us to create coziness. This style appeared in England in the early last century. Cozy and beautiful houses in the English villages, with their hedges, flower gardens and paved paths have been decorated in this style. And now it’s also popular. To create interior of the country style you should use natural materials, such as paving tiles or decorative stone, massive wooden floorboards for floor and decorative plaster or wood for walls. Accessories are very important. There are lots of interesting objects: lamp shades, porcelain figurines, dishes with floral ornaments that will bring sense of warmth and coziness. And don’t forget about lots of flowers.
Mural Azur Fresh Interior Theme by Jorge Aguilar
| James | Share: |
Jorge Aguilar is a very talented artist that seems to enjoy experimenting very much. His web site here has a large set of mind blowing art pieces but what interests us the most is this great project, when he had a hand in interior decorating. Considering how talented Jorge as an artist, it’s not surprising how stylish and holistic his interior is. We only see one wall with the shelves and couches here that complement each other very well, but this theme could easily be extrapolated and build up to a very fresh and modern residence design. Of course the rest of the interior would have to be less detailed to avoid driving it’s inhabitants crazy by the riot of colors.

| James | Share: |
The Brick House is a web blog started by Morgan Satterfield and her boyfriend Jeremy Chlebik. They are writing about their own house and what they do to make it better. Remodeling began back in 2008, still goes on and to Morgan it seems like she would like to do that forever. And why not if this hobby makes her house better and doesn’t costs too much – she has a rule of $100 which means that she doesn’t spends more than that on one item. But most of the thing they do themselves and with the help of their family and friends. It’s hard to believe all that when you look at the pictures – the interior Morgan created is great and it’s amazing how many great ideas she found. If you are going to remodel your home in near future you should definitely refer to her blog here.

A Home That You Make
| James | Share: |
Sometimes when you move into a new place it does not feels that it is your home for days, or weeks, or month… Its hard to catch the moment when you stop missing your old place and start to feel relaxed. What makes you grow roots and start feeling home? Surely there are many things, but in the first place it’s the interior that you create and the things that surround you.
The modest flat that you can see below is a home for a family of five artistic people, that like to create. Mother and daughter created all those nice knit things from sheets and cushions to rugs. Father of this family is a carpenter and he made most of the furniture – just take a look of this natural newspaper table made of a large slice of wood. Some of the things like the chair and floor lamp are still from Ikea, but still this home is a good proof that cozy home is not about the cost at all.
