Eclectic City Farmhouse

LMOH Home

A 700 square foot space in the city gets a farmhouse makeover while preserving the clients’ love for all things colorfully eclectic and showcasing their favorite flea market finds! Featuring an entry way, living room, dining room and great room, the entire design and color scheme was inspired by the clients’ nostalgic painting of East Coast sunflower fields and a vintage console in bold colors. Shown in this Photo: the custom red media armoire tucks neatly into a corner while a custom conversation sofa, custom pillows, tweed ottoman and leather recliner are anchored by a richly textured turquoise area rug to create multiple seating areas in this small space. A vintage curio cabinet, placed in a niche, serves as a dry bar for storing drinkware and alcohol. Farmhouse accessories complete the design. | Photography Joshua Caldwell.

Contemporary Kitchen

Archaeo Architects

The clients wanted a “solid, old-world feel”, like an old Mexican hacienda, small yet energy-efficient. They wanted a house that was warm and comfortable, with monastic simplicity; the sense of a house as a haven, a retreat. The project’s design origins come from a combination of the traditional Mexican hacienda and the regional Northern New Mexican style. Room proportions, sizes and volume were determined by assessing traditional homes of this character. This was combined with a more contemporary geometric clarity of rooms and their interrelationship. The overall intent was to achieve what Mario Botta called “A newness of the old and an archaeology of the new…a sense both of historic continuity and of present day innovation”.

This Adobe Brick product is featured in the color Sienna. Images were supplied by Standard Pacific Homes, Phoenix. See more Architectural Thin Brick Veneer projects from Coronado Stone Products

У самого синего черного моря

Шакирова Ксюша

Проект "У самого синего чёрного моря" "Некоторые вещи могут завладеть вашим вниманием, но сосредоточьтесь лучше на тех, что завладевают вашим сердцем." Индийская поговорка. Возможен ли интеллектуальный интерьер? Я отвечу «да». Именно таким я задумала интерьер проекта «у самого синего чёрного моря». Но по достоинству его смог бы оценить лишь тот, кто способен увидеть суть. Кто разделяет с тобой философию твоего проекта и в любом возрасте верит в чудеса. Мой заказчик один из таких уникальных людей, считающий, что именно идея - начало всех начал. Все началось с моря. Глубокого, синего, мощного и умиротворяющего. Я стояла на террасе объекта, а подо мной разливалось оно. Три метра до кромки воды… три. Так близко разрешено строить только эллинги и это был один из них. Хозяин - владелец крупного металлургического бизнеса, волевой, умный, активный и нестандартно мыслящий человек. «Сделаем тебе интерьер со смыслом?» - спрашиваю я. По лёгкой улыбке и искорке в глазах понимаю - иного он бы и не принял. Не его уровень. Я провожу на объекте лето. Напитываюсь рельефами гор, изучаю цвета земли под ногами и всматриваюсь в блики солнца на волнах. Я собираю крохотные степные цветы и сушу ароматные травы с полей. Все это трансформируется во мне и я понимаю, что этот проект должен быть частью этого места. Его зеркалом. И начинаю работу. В природе нет острых углов, я убираю их, оставляя вместо них скруглённые падуги. В природе нет синтетических материалов - я использую дерево, мрамор, натуральный шпон и текстиль. Природа лишена суеты и нагромождений - я запускаю в пространство пустоту и лёгкость, обыгрывая это ахроматичными оттенками и различными текстурами стен и мебели. Я смотрю под воду и вижу, как море волнами уложило песок на дне. Я беру этот рисунок и переношу его на фронтальную часть камина. С помощью гипса и штукатурки вношу рисунок природы в свой интерьер. Я снова смотрю под воду. И вижу, как на фоне песка стайки маленьких рыбок играют в лучах солнца. Я интерпретирую их игру, вешая золотой мобиль Kinetic Levi над камином. И теперь, каждый раз, когда хозяин растапливает камин, потоки тёплого воздуха приводят мобиль в движение, и мои «рыбки" оживают. Я вижу, как на горизонте порой мелькают белые парусники. Наполненные ветром, солнцем и жаждой приключений. Я бережно беру их и трансформирую в люстру, желая хозяевам попутного ветра. Я встаю с рассветом и вижу, как солнце поднимаясь над водой заглядывает в комнату, скользя по скруглёнными углам и играя с «рыбками» над камином. И в самом светлом углу, где лучи солнца по касательной проходят зону столовой, я вешаю большое зеркало- солнце. Его магия заключается в том, что когда рассветные лучи касаются его поверхности, оно отбрасывает невероятные солнечные зайчики на стены, потолок и предметы мебели. Этот волшебный момент возможно увидеть только в летнее время года и длится он около 7-ми минут, пока солнце не поднимется выше. Я могла бы сделать его вечным. Установить точечную подсветку, направив луч на зеркало, и получить желанный отблеск на потолке и стенах. Но тогда исчез бы момент. Тогда хозяин не смог бы остановится на семь минут, обратить внимание на ту красоту, которая происходит здесь и сейчас. Этим жестом, я хотела показать, что не все подвластно человеку. И чтобы что-то «завладело вашим сердцем» нужно уметь выжидать и созидать.

Living Room Design Photos with Travertine Floors

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.
