Brighton East Coastal Style Kitchen & Bathroom Renovation

Whilst the main focus for this renovation was the kitchen and bathrooms, the clients used the opportunity to instil some better functionality and modern influences in some adjoining rooms. This bespoke entertainment unit was designed and built to house a new gas fireplace, with the tv wall mounted above. Once again, the stunning porcelain in the cladding of this fireplace, makes for a real focal point in the living room.

Французское настроение и мотивы шинуазри: семейная квартира

Студия дизайна Елены и Ярослава Алдошиных

Из исходных данный у нас было, отделённое монолитной стеной, пространство кухни, зона спальни с большой светлой лоджией и панорамными окнами, дающими хорошее естественное освещение и общий санузел, который мы разделили на два. И довольно обширная зона с двумя окнами посередине квартиры, которая и представляла основную загвоздку. Из этого пространства нам нужно было создать, по заданию заказчиков, две вместительные детские комнаты и из оставшегося пространство создать холл-гостиную. Так же рядом со входом в квартиру необходимо было расположить гардеробную комнату. Исходя из этих условия мы и провели всю перепланировку. Главная идея проекта - создать лёгкий и светлый интерьер с настроением французской современной квартиры, артистическими азиатскими деталями и цветными пятнами. Спроектировать традиционное пространство на основе классических элементов, наполнив его азиатскими нотками, которые очень любят владельцы, ведь Азия - их излюбленное направление для путешествий, хоть в душе, по характеру и стилю жизни они «утончённые европейцы». Гостиная - светлое обволакивающее пространство с обтекаемой элегантной мебелью, и графичными тёмными линиями декора и подвесного светильника, перекликающихся с росчерками искусства. Монотонное умиротворяюще пространство, где по вечерам собирается семья. Здесь мы отдали предпочтение контрасту фактур рыхлого текстиля мебели и гладких поверхностей. В спальне мы создали более экстравагантную атмосферу. Внесли на чистую классическую основу штрихи азиатского колорита, который так любят владельцы. Ширму-изголовье кровати украшает ручная роспись на шёлке по мотивам шинуазри, а подвесные светильники в изголовье кровати напоминают завитки иероглифов. Кухня так же имеет восточные элементы. Светильники авторства Alexis Dornier, изготовленные ограниченным тиражом из переработанной рисовой бумаги, расположенные над столом, мы собственноручно привезли с острова Бали в чемодане. Чего не сделаешь для любимых заказчиков! Кухонная мебель выполнена в двух оттенках - коралловом и ментоловом. Массивный тёмный стол и граничные силуэты стульев задают ритм, создают контраст и продолжают тему, заданную в гостиной. Так же в квартире расположены два санузла - ванная комната и душевая. Ванная комната «для девочек» декорирована мрамором и выполнена в нежных пудровых оттенках. Санузел для главы семейства - яркий, а душевая напоминает открытый балийский душ в тропических зарослях. Детские комнаты для двух девочек тоже спроектированы в нежных оттенках, имеют много места для хранения и письменные столы для занятий и кровати, изголовье которых расположено в нише, для создания ощущения защищённости и комфорта. Подвесные светильники авторства ONG CEN KUANG, созданные из текстильных молний для одежды мы так же привезли сами для заказчиков с острова Бали. Цветовая палитра проекта разнообразна, но в то же время отчасти сдержана. Нам хотелось добавить цветовые акценты, создать радостный, сочный интерьер, так подходящий по темпераменту заказчикам. Мы использовали несколько цветовых схем, но в тоже время собирая пространство воедино, с помощью нейтральных фоновых оттенков стен во всех комнатах, это хорошая основа для воплощения любого интерьера и соединения всех пространств в единый образ. В гостевом санузле мы позволили себе шалость и покрасили стены в глубокий оттенок зелени. Далее через время и исходя из своих ощущений, меняющихся с течением жизни, заказчики смогут изменять настроение интерьера заменяя искусство в интерьере, текстиль и некоторые предметы, для этого мы намеренно оставили такую возможность. Во всей квартире мы используем приточно-вытяжную вентиляцию и кондиционирования. На наш взгляд это очень важно с точки зрения здоровья и комфорта жильцов. Так же в кухне мы отказались от навесной верхней вытяжки, использую варочную поверхность Elica NIKOLATESLA со встроенной в неё вытяжкой, это визуально облегчает композицию, убирая верхние шкафы. Как мы рассказывали ранее, 5 светильников для наших заказчиков мы привезли с острова Бали. Мы очень сдружились со всем семейством и нам захотелось привнести что-то необычное и эксклюзивное в интерьер. Поэтому находясь в командировке на другом нашем Балийском объекте, мы выделили несколько дней на поиски и подобрали для интерьера эти классные предметы с другого конца света, которые в итоге еле-еле поместились в огромный чемодан и были заботливо доставлены нами собственноручно в Москву.

West Highlands Home Renovation

TVL Creative Ltd.

This 1910 West Highlands home was so compartmentalized that you couldn't help to notice you were constantly entering a new room every 8-10 feet. There was also a 500 SF addition put on the back of the home to accommodate a living room, 3/4 bath, laundry room and back foyer - 350 SF of that was for the living room. Needless to say, the house needed to be gutted and replanned. Kitchen+Dining+Laundry-Like most of these early 1900's homes, the kitchen was not the heartbeat of the home like they are today. This kitchen was tucked away in the back and smaller than any other social rooms in the house. We knocked out the walls of the dining room to expand and created an open floor plan suitable for any type of gathering. As a nod to the history of the home, we used butcherblock for all the countertops and shelving which was accented by tones of brass, dusty blues and light-warm greys. This room had no storage before so creating ample storage and a variety of storage types was a critical ask for the client. One of my favorite details is the blue crown that draws from one end of the space to the other, accenting a ceiling that was otherwise forgotten. Primary Bath-This did not exist prior to the remodel and the client wanted a more neutral space with strong visual details. We split the walls in half with a datum line that transitions from penny gap molding to the tile in the shower. To provide some more visual drama, we did a chevron tile arrangement on the floor, gridded the shower enclosure for some deep contrast an array of brass and quartz to elevate the finishes. Powder Bath-This is always a fun place to let your vision get out of the box a bit. All the elements were familiar to the space but modernized and more playful. The floor has a wood look tile in a herringbone arrangement, a navy vanity, gold fixtures that are all servants to the star of the room - the blue and white deco wall tile behind the vanity. Full Bath-This was a quirky little bathroom that you'd always keep the door closed when guests are over. Now we have brought the blue tones into the space and accented it with bronze fixtures and a playful southwestern floor tile. Living Room & Office-This room was too big for its own good and now serves multiple purposes. We condensed the space to provide a living area for the whole family plus other guests and left enough room to explain the space with floor cushions. The office was a bonus to the project as it provided privacy to a room that otherwise had none before.

Our San Francisco studio designed this beautiful four-story home for a young newlywed couple to create a warm, welcoming haven for entertaining family and friends. In the living spaces, we chose a beautiful neutral palette with light beige and added comfortable furnishings in soft materials. The kitchen is designed to look elegant and functional, and the breakfast nook with beautiful rust-toned chairs adds a pop of fun, breaking the neutrality of the space. In the game room, we added a gorgeous fireplace which creates a stunning focal point, and the elegant furniture provides a classy appeal. On the second floor, we went with elegant, sophisticated decor for the couple's bedroom and a charming, playful vibe in the baby's room. The third floor has a sky lounge and wine bar, where hospitality-grade, stylish furniture provides the perfect ambiance to host a fun party night with friends. In the basement, we designed a stunning wine cellar with glass walls and concealed lights which create a beautiful aura in the space. The outdoor garden got a putting green making it a fun space to share with friends. --- Project designed by ballonSTUDIO.

Mid-sized Living Room Design Photos

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.
