This Home Was Created To Wrap Around An Apple Tree
This place is stunning.Montreal-based studio ACDF Architecture created a low-slung contemporary home that was designed to wrap around an apple tree. Even cooler, residents of the house will get a glimpse of the tree from all rooms around the living space! It’s like a modern and stylish version of a fairy grove, where cool mystical beings gather. The home also has an all-black exterior, which is quite unique compared to other homes out on the market. Additionally, ACDF Architecture designed the home for its residents to experience and enhance a deeper connection with nature. The owner of the home, who commissioned the project, wanted the apple tree to be part of his home. “The owner embraced vivid childhood memories of growing up in an orchard environment. The apple tree was symbolic of his earliest encounters with nature as a child, and of the continuity of that connection years later while picking apples with his own children,” the company explained.Image credit: ACDF Architecture #homes #architecture #interiordesign #realestate
The $100 Mural That Made This Bathroom Look Expensive
There are certain steps that we can take to make our house look more expensive! Some of them can just involve our DIY and artistic skills.This is what artist and muralist Kelly Aiken of Copeley Designs did as she renovated her bathroom. She decided to add some accent walls to spice up the said room.Accent walls can be done to recreate a vibe of a luxury hotel room or store. Additionally, creating this kind of decoration on your own can lead you to add anything that you’d like. To create an accent wall for your chosen space, you just need to pick one side of the wall to paint a different color in comparison to the rest or do what Aiken did. For Aiken, she decided to paint a mural over the blank, citrus green colored wall. Wanting it to be a bit more glam and serene, she took the time to paint a mural with blended colors, textures, and a bit of shimmer to make the room pop, so to speak. It reminds us of the fancy, luxurious store windows we see. “I love to paint murals for my art business and thought I would try my signature drip and gold leaf wall look using colors from other rooms in my home,” Aiken shared. “I love this new twist to an accent wall. it creates more texture and depth in the room as well,” Check more before and after photos of Aiken’s work below!

The Colors You Should Have in Your Home
Look around your home. Does it have a color theme? Does it have too much of a color theme? Is it an apartment with landlord white walls and IKEA furniture? Is it all dark antique wood? Does each room have a different color theme? It's time to mix things up and add some color to make it pop! It doesn't have to be your "favorite" color that you've been loyal to since childhood, because they all have a place and a way to add to the beauty of your decor. Even combinations that you'd never mix when you get dressed in the morning can look great in a room together Jacqueline Clair at Apartment Therapy talked to 12 different interior designers and asked them what colors they wished that their clients used more of. Yes, orange and pink are there, and there are ways to use them that you don't have to be afraid of. See how they all can give your home a lift in this article.(Image credit: Kate Smith Interiors) #interiordesign #interiordecor #color
"Room-Like" Furniture for a Japanese Corporation Dorm
Takenaka Corporation, a Japanese general contracting firm requires its new hires to spend a year at its live-in training facility. The goal for the year is to learn the ropes, so to speak. You’d live in a company dormitory while training. This kind of business practice is common in Japan, by the way.The company had its training-employee dormitory redesigned in 2019. Under the creative vision of design consultancy Taiji Fujimori Atelier, the place was given a minimalistic, clean look through the furniture they provided. The common areas were adorned with comfortable sitting areas, where employees can do their work sitting on the soft, elevated, floor cushions. The highlight of the Atelier’s work is in the dorm rooms of the building. Equipped with unique sliding doors, the rooms allow the person inside to open the upper door to let in some fresh air while having their room still hidden from public view. The interior is composed of furniture that can be described as super minimal, or as the design consultancy described it, “room-like furniture.” This kind of style combines shelves, closets, beds, and desks as a single unit that looks like a one-stroke line. “While making a small room practical and functional, the unit still keeps the appearance as one piece of furniture," they added.

Design magazine Dezeen has selected the best home interiors they've featured in 2021. What they have in common: they are all minimalist, uncluttered, and modern. They all take advantage of available light. Otherwise, they each have their own charms. One has curved forms instead of conventional walls and ceiling, to deliberately rebel against preconceived notions of what a room is. Some are cleanly monochromatic, while others are quite colorful without being busy. None display any printed fabric or personal collections, and few pieces of art are on display in any of them.

The Pokemon Company has teamed up with Japanese furniture and interior furnishings company Karimoku to produce a line of furniture that looks sleek and minimalistic at times. These new pieces of furniture are inspired by the cute pocket monsters we all love and are familiar with, but not to the point that it either looks childish or too in your face.At first glance, the items in the collection look like abstract patterns, fooling people into thinking they are not inspired by the popular franchise. On a closer inspection, one can spot the Pokemon designs on the curtains, sheet, and floor mat.The collection features a Pikachu sofa, a two-seater sofa model with bright colors, and a Pikachu pattern. In addition to that, there is also a one-person easy chair, a Poke Ball side table, and a gigantic Snorlax rug that looks elegant enough to be placed in your main living room.The collection can be purchased through the Pokemon Center Online store starting October 14. Don’t worry, these can be placed within your very adult home without anyone complaining about its ‘childishness’ or campiness (then again it’s your home, so who cares if you want an over-the-top Pikachu sofa? You do you!).Image credit: via JapanToday#Pokemon #Furniture #HomeDecor #InteriorDesign #Karimoku #Pikachu #Sofa

Loads and Loads of Colorful Laundry Room Design Fun
Who says laundry rooms have to be purely utilitarian and boring? Just because a space has a practical purpose doesn't mean it has to be humdrum and lifeless. Why not make that place a truly happy space?Tina Bousu of @eclectic_twist turned her tired laundry space into a bright and playful work of art. The small room now features an adventurous and colorful style. The cabinets have been painted a radiant coral pink. Furniture style hardware adorns the cheerful cabinetry. Oval shaped mirrors have been placed above the counter. Those mirrors are perfectly mounted to suggest that this location in the house is larger than its actual size. Perhaps most noteworthy, however, is the use of a flower bouquet-shaped light fixture in the center of the room. This surprising element helps elevate the boho tropical feel of the design. Laundry rooms are the perfect space to have some good clean fun with interior design. The rooms tend to be small. Therefore, projects tend not to spin out of control. Working on this type of space in fact can actually be loads and loads of fun! #laundryroom #interiordesign #coralcolor #pinkcabinets #wallpaper

Bringing the Garden in With Trellis Decorated Walls
Dallas interior design firm Dunbar Road is responsible for the creation of this adorable and whimsical space. The room uses an abundance of trellis shaped molding and other trim work to give the room an airy conservatory feel. The color pallet is striking, but not shocking. The use of pale green, bright whites, yellows, and pops of pink remind someone of sitting in the garden. Sometimes a great amount of molding in a room can make it feel stuffy. This room, however, feels airy and light. Perhaps that is due to the proliferation of bright whites and the moderate amount of furniture used. This is a bold and happy room. One could easily imagine sitting down at that table with friends. Perchance have few cups of tea, a smattering of pastries, and a good deal of belly laughs. #trellis #gardenroom #diningspace #diningroom #homedecor #interiordesign #greenandwhite #gardentheme #whimsicalspaces

Feeling Positively Green With Envy Over These Bold Emerald Colored Walls
Many of us shy away from bold colors. We instead lean into shades of whites, blacks, and grays. Kate Arbuthnott Interiors, based in the United Kingdom, however isn't afraid to be adventurous. Just take a look at this striking emerald green room they are creating.The emerald green adds an unexpected amount of brightness to the room. The contrast is striking against the beautiful white millwork. A darker shade would have made the room feel dated, but this particular hue feels fresh and almost whimsical.While we may not all have the ability to live in such an architecturally beautiful abode in Scotland, this image does remind us of one thing. It emphasizes that it is okay to play with color. The picture nudges us to remember that paint is such a simple way to liven up and personalize a space. #Scotland #interiordesign #boldcolors #emerald #green #UnitedKingdom
Modern Bungalow Minimalist Home Comes With Glass Conservatory That Juts Out Of The House Walls
Skylights are wonderful architectural features, but Ukrainian architect and interior designer Alex Svyryd really takes it to the next level. Svyryd has designed Chalet-2, a modern, bungalow-style house that combines a Scandinavian-inspired clean and minimalist design with a huge glass conservatory in the middle of the house. The unusual conservatory juts out of the wall, stretches from floor to ceiling and then continues on above the roofline as if it were a crystal jutting out of a rock. Clad in black, the exterior of the house seems to hint at secrecy and privacy of the interior space within. At the same time, the glass conservatory bisects the solid walls of the house on one side, thus providing a clear view inside (and the occupants, a clear view of the outside as well as a great source of natural light).Images: Alex Svyryd#skylight #conservatory #architecture #interiordesign #Scandinavian #bungalow #minimalist
