Affable and loyal, Vitsœ has a long-term commitment to enabling more people to live better, with less, that lasts longer. It is a modest way of thinking that values the consumer as an individual. The classic and iconic 606 Universal Shelving System was designed by Dieter Rams in 1960 and has been made by Vitsœ ever since. With its clean industrial aesthetic, flexibility and versatility, the 606 is a lifetime companion. The Royal System, designed by Poul Cadovius in 1948, is handsome, simple and practical. Much admired in the 1950s and 60s, dk3 acquired the rights to revive and reintroduce this Danish classic, doing so in 2010. The Royal System®, one of the first wall-hung furniture systems, is available in materials such as walnut, oak and compact laminate with steel.

The terms ‘contemporary’ and ‘modern’ are often used interchangeably when describing design. It’s a common faux pas and one of which this writer is certainly guilty. In design lexicon the two words have contrasting and quite distinct meanings. Describing their difference at a somewhat rudimentary level: contemporary makes reference to the present-day – that which is current and of the time – whereas modern alludes to the past, specifically that of Modernism (post the First World War) and mid-20th century modern design and architecture.

Emerald is a color that has consistently topped trend charts in recent times and its jewel-toned glamor is perfect for bedrooms with Hollywood Regency style. Malachite pattern and color is also a smart choice if you love that luxurious look in the bedroom while eclectic bedrooms drenched in green goodness steal the show with sheer audacity and flair.

Painting the walls might be the easiest way to add green to the bedroom along with bedding and accessories in matching hue, but think beyond the obvious if you want a truly captivating room. Painting the ceiling in green can be a fun alternative and by leaving the walls white, you will still have a neutral and versatile backdrop that will beautifully showcase wall art and sculptural décor additions. And for those who really want a personalized solution, mixing different shades to come with your own custom green hue is indeed an exciting and enjoyable alternative. This will assure that you are proud owner of a one-of-a-kind bedroom with a shade of green that you came up with.

A vanity bench can always help if you spend a lot of time in the bathroom putting on makeup or doing your hair. Have a look at this incredibly elegant tufted bench from Alice Lane Home that could do the trick. A more compact option is a simple stool, like this gorgeously elegant selection (again from Home Bunch) that matches the style of this bathroom. This vanity from APD Architects actually has its own seated area, with a matching cushioned stool. Even a regular ottoman can work in a bathroom. This one featured on HGTV has a space against a wall right across from the vanity. This next very interesting bench featured on BHG stems out from the vanity beside it, where there’s a window. If the size and architecture of your bathroom make it work, then why not?

You can never have enough storage in the kitchen. If you lack cabinet space but have just enough room along an area of a wall, an armoire can serve as a wonderful pantry. Check out this great example from Decoholic. Alternatively, you could use the same idea as above, but for coffee instead. Ever Evolving Life 4-5 shows the complete transformation this armoire went through to become a cute little coffee bar.

If you believe that green does not work in a trendy and minimal contemporary bedroom, then think again! A green accent wall is easy to shape and it brings that much needed warmth to an otherwise cool and mundane interior. Just repeat the color in the room using vivacious bedding, accessories, nightstands or even a couple of lovely vases and you have an inviting bedroom that is both energetic and relaxing. Those who feel that an accent wall in green or décor are not your thing can still add the color by placing a couple of potted plants to fill up those empty corners. It is an easy, eco-friendly and healthy choice to turn to that will instantly alter the mood in the bedroom.

 Lovely Apartment in Poland Showcasing an Industrial Design Scheme

This 150 sqm apartment is conveniently located in the Pole Mokotoskie Park neighborhood in Warsaw. The owners wanted the design to reflect their independent way of thinking. They shared some photos of American lofts and remodeled European tenement house apartments with the project developers. Since this was not their first crib, they also wanted some pieces of furniture they loved to be integrated in the new home scheme. A comfortable purple bedroom bed and a blue living room sofa needed to be the essential part of a new-industrial design approach.
The apartment includes a spacious living room, separate kitchen, two bathrooms, bedroom and a home office. Designers form Warsaw-based architectural studio Soma Architekci only employed austere materials: solid concrete, exposed white brick, rough oak floor, cold white and grey colors. All the furniture was made from natural materials. This resulted in a unique composition of industrial and cozy pieces of decoration. [Photos and information provided via e-mail by Soma Architekci]

 Re-Framing Family Life in Updated Victorian Terrace House

When re-framing your lifestyle, a new architectural language soon follows. Sometimes it’s adding or subtracting furniture, other times it’s adding and altering the architecture of the home itself. In the case of this particular home owner, the existing outdated one bedroom Victorian terrace house in Australia needed to become larger and brighter in preparation for a modern family life. Located in one of Melbourne’s suburbs named Elsternwick, this formerly crowded Victorian home became bright, comfortable and contemporary thanks to local studio Sketch Building Design.
In order to accommodate a young family, the design had to include alterations and additions that increased the living area, as well as added a second story serving as private spaces. The Elsternwick addition now features two bedrooms on the second level and a fabulous way of enjoying the backyard through folding glass doors. Taking advantage of natural light to illuminate even the darkest corners of this new elegant home, designers also restored the facade and opened the house out to the small backyard.
“The project required a full town planning permit, including heritage assessment. The design brief was to create a large open plan living zone, with the entire upper level to be a parents’ retreat. The client placed a large emphasis on maximising the amount of natural light and space. This was successfully achieved through the creation of an architectural form that challenges conventional renovation design. The distinctive and clean built form, coupled with elegant interiors provides a striking contemporary addition that is in harmony with the original Victorian terrace.”
The limited 149 square meters ensured the new architectural extension would only go up and thus offered the family a bright and cheery three bedroom family home…
