Beach House Living Room - Watch Hill, RI

Burrow & Nest

The room is designed with the palette of a Conch shell in mind. Pale pink silk-look wallpaper lines the walls, while a Florentine inspired watercolor mural adorns the ceiling and backsplash of the custom built bookcases. A French caned daybed centers the room-- a place to relax and take an afternoon nap, while a silk velvet clad chaise is ideal for reading. Books of natural wonders adorn the lacquered oak table in the corner. A vintage mirror coffee table reflects the light. Shagreen end tables add a bit of texture befitting the coastal atmosphere.

栗東の家リノベーション

ALTS DESIGN OFFICE (アルツデザインオフィス)

住み継いだ家本計画は、築32年の古家のリノベーションの計画です。昔ながらの住宅のため、脱衣室がなく、田の字型に区切られた住宅でした。 1F部分は、スケルトン状態とし、水廻りの大きな改修を行いました。既存の和室部を改修し、キッチンスペースにリノベーションしました。キッチンは壁掛けとし、アイランドカウンターを設け趣味である料理などを楽しめるスペースとしました。洋室だった部分をリビングスペースに変更し、LDKの一体となったスペースを確保しました。リビングスペースは、6畳のスペースだったため、造作でベンチを設けて狭さを解消しました。もともとダイニングであったスペースの一角には、寝室スペースを設けほとんどの生活スペースを1Fで完結できる間取りとしました。また、猫との生活も想定されていましたので、ペットの性格にも配慮した計画としました。内部のデザインは、合板やアイアン、アンティークな床タイルなどを仕様し、新しさの中にもなつかしさのある落ち着いた空間となっています。断熱材から改修された空間は、機能性もデザイン性にも配慮された、居心地の良い空間となっています。

長浜の家（NAGAHAMA　HOUSE）

ALTS DESIGN OFFICE (アルツデザインオフィス)

非日常を味わう暮らし今回の計画は、滋賀県長浜市の分譲地の一画にある角地の敷地、周囲はほぼ同時期に建てられた住宅街で本敷地は分譲地の入り口付近にある。クライアントの要望は、開放的で明るく非日常を感じることのできる暮らしであった。そこで、外観は分譲地の入り口付近の角地ということと、要望にもあった非日常を感じる暮らしということもあり、白とグレーを基調とし、開口部を大胆にとった印象的な外観とした。建物を印象づけることにより日常から非日常へ自然と意識させるデザインとなっている。周囲からは、程よくプライバシーを確保できるよう中庭空間をもうけた。内部の計画は、南面に大きく開けたリビングスペースを設け奥に入ればプライバシー空間となっており外に向かって開放的で明るい空間が広がっている。天井高もオープンスペースに行くほど高くなるよう設計し、より広がりを感じることができる。オープンスペースとプライベートスペースを空間として分けることにより、日常では味わうことのできないゆったりとした空間となっている。内部空間のしつらえは、グレーのモノトーンで配色を抑え、タイルやセラミック素材を使い落ち着きのある空間とした。日々の生活に追われた日常の生活と、旅行などで感じることのできる非日常のリラックスした空間、現状、なかなか外出することもできない時代のなかで、住居部分に非日常を感じゆったりと過ごすことのできる空間を設けることで、より豊かに暮らすことのできる住宅となった。

Appartement Jouffroy d'Abbans-

Agence KP-Architecte d'intérieur

Assis dans le cœur d'un appartement haussmannien, où l'histoire rencontre l'élégance, se trouve un fauteuil qui raconte une histoire à part. Un fauteuil Pierre Paulin, avec ses courbes séduisantes et sa promesse de confort. Devant un mur audacieusement peint en bleu profond, il n'est pas simplement un objet, mais une émotion. En tant que designer d'intérieur, mon objectif est toujours d'harmoniser l'ancien et le nouveau, de trouver ce point d'équilibre où les époques se croisent et se complètent. Ici, le choix du fauteuil et la nuance de bleu ont été méticuleusement réfléchis pour magnifier l'espace tout en respectant son essence originelle. Chaque détail, chaque choix de couleur ou de meuble, est un pas de plus vers la création d'un intérieur qui n'est pas seulement beau à regarder, mais aussi à vivre. Ce fauteuil devant ce mur, c'est plus qu'une association esthétique. C'est une invitation à s'asseoir, à prendre un moment pour soi, à s'imprégner de la beauté qui nous entoure. J'espère que cette vision vous inspire autant qu'elle m'a inspiré en la créant. Et vous, que ressentez-vous devant cette fusion entre le design contemporain et l'architecture classique ?

Living Room Design Photos with a Library and Wallpaper

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks. For even more living room ideas, check out the Stories section on Houzz.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
