Bilderrahmen FRAME von Moebe

HolzDesignPur

Das richtige Bild zu finden ist zumeist einfacher als es gekonnt in Szene zu setzen. Der Bilderrahmen aus dem Hause Moebe macht es einem in dieser Hinsicht aber sehr einfach, ganz nach dem Motto des Designlabels aus Kopenhagen “keep things simple”. Bestehend aus zwei Plexiglasplatten und vier filigranen Leisten aus hellem Eichenholz überzeugt FRAME mit Einfachheit und Übersichtlichkeit. Die einzelnen Elemente zusammensteckend, komplettiert diese ein schwarzes, den gesamten Rahmen umlaufendes Gummiband, welches gleichzeitig als Aufhängung dient. Einen stärkeren Kontrast bietet FRAME mit direkten Vergleich zur Ausführung aus Holz mit schwarzen Rahmenteilen aus Alumnium. Dem eigenen Ausstellungsstück kommt der zurückhaltende Charakter FRAMEs in jedem Fall zugute. Ob ein Bild, getrocknete, florale Elemente oder andere flache Kunstwerke das Innere des Holzrahmens zieren, ist der eigenen Fantasie überlassen. Die freie, unberührte und zudem durchsichtige Glasfläche lädt von Beginn zum eigenen kreativen Schaffen ein. Erhältlich in vier verschiedenen Größen, entsprechen die angegebenen Maße des Bilderrahmens den jeweiligen DIN-Formaten A2, A3, A4 und A5. Für eine Präsentation im Stil eines Passepartouts ist ein Bild mit geringeren Abmaßen zu wählen. Im Bilderrahmenformat A4 eignet sich beispielsweise ein A5 Print, eine Postkarte ziert den kleinsten der angebotenen Rahmen FRAME. Besonders reizend ist dabei die bestehende transparente Freifläche, die dem Ausstellungsstück zusätzlichen Raum gibt und einen nahezu schwebenden Charakter verleiht. Mittels des beiliegendes Bandes leicht an der Wand zu befestigen, überzeugt das Designerstück von Moebe zweifelsfrei in puncto Design, Funktionalität und Individualität - eine wahre Bereicherung für das eigene Zuhause.

Mid-century Preservation

Everywhere you look in this home, there is a surprise to be had and a detail worth preserving. One of the more iconic interior features was this original copper fireplace shroud that was beautifully restored back to it's shiny glory. The sofa was custom made to fit "just so" into the drop down space/ bench wall separating the family room from the dining space. Not wanting to distract from the design of the space by hanging a TV on the wall - there is a concealed projector and screen that drop down from the ceiling when desired. Flooded with natural light from both directions from the original sliding glass doors - this home glows day and night - by sun or by fire. From this view you can see the relationship of the kitchen which was originally in this location, but previously closed off with walls. It's compact and efficient, and allows seamless interaction between hosts and guests.

Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Living Room

Diane Plesset, CMKBD, NCIDQ, C.A.P.S.

View showing the great room connection between the living room, dining room, kitchen, and main hallway. Millgard windows and french doors provide balanced daylighting, with dimmable fluorescent trough lighting and LED fixtures provide fill and accent lighting. This living room illustrates Frank Lloyd Wright's influence, with rift-oak paneling on the walls and ceiling, accentuated by hemlock battens. Custom stepped crown moulding, stepped casing and basebards, and stepped accent lights on the brush-broom concrete columns convey the home's Art Deco style. Cork flooring was used throughout the home, over hydronic radiant heating.

Living Design Ideas with Cork Floors

The best room for gathering with your family and friends in a cosy environment is your living room or family room. You want to hang out where the lounge furniture is the most comfortable and sofas or chairs create a sense of homeliness. Filling this important space with cheap furniture is unlikely to bring you the same long-lasting comfort as a quality chaise lounge or a couch. These choices will directly affect the quality of your evenings as you wind down from the daily grind. While planning a renovation or redesign, weigh up the priorities of seating, heating, an entertainment unit and bookcases. Identify your main activity in the room and and design around that. Many living rooms aren't complete without a fireplace, but if you can't accommodate that, invest in built-in or furniture that suits your home. Common trends include Danish furniture and other kinds of Scandinavian furniture. Plush sofas, recliner chairs and sofa beds will always be popular. Finally, when the big components are planned out, think about what colour scheme and decor will best suit you and your family. If needed, an interior designer can help here.

Should I include a fireplace in my living room or family room?

Depending on your climate, a fireplace might be a great way to add warmth and interest to your living space. Even if your location is warm year-round, you can always add a faux fireplace or nonfunctioning fireplace as part of your decor. There are many options to choose from, so be sure to check them out. A wood-burning fireplace gives an authentic experience, though a gas one still emits heat without the mess. A double-sided or corner unit strays from the ordinary, or you can go with a wood stove fireplace if you're looking for a piece of art. If you want a contemporary touch, veer away from the traditional wood or tile mantel by going with stone, concrete or metal instead.

What kind of built-ins should I add to my living room?

Although it might not seem glamorous, having enough storage is instrumental when it comes to keeping the room organised and practical. Built-in bookcases, shelves and cabinets are a great way to add hidden, functional storage for all the knickknacks you accumulate. Movie and gaming buffs will love a custom entertainment centre, with enough cabinets for movies, speakers and electronic accessories; you can even create a media room with a projector and lounge chairs! If you still have room to spare, include a booth for homework or craft projects.

How do I decorate my home interiors?

When it comes to decorating, neutrals are always the safe option because they look good and never go out of style. They also give any artwork you hang enough breathing space. If you do want to try out a bolder colour scheme, add colour with walls and accessories. That way, if you get sick of a colour, you can quickly repaint the walls and find new knickknacks, instead of having to replace your sofas every time trends change. Popular colours include blue, green and grey, but don't be afraid to try bright colours like red or yellow, even if it's just on an accent wall. Finally, make sure there is plenty of light. Recessed or track lighting are great ways to hit every corner — better yet, add more natural light by installing additional windows or a skylight.
