Let’s cut to the chase- this NYC loft by West Chin Architect, pllc., is undeniably sexy! It has all the elements of NYC’s edgy pizazz while maintaining its cool! The ironic part of it all is that kids actually live here which makes it hard to believe that they don’t throw plastic on the sofas when no one is looking! But don’t be fooled, the kid rooms are nothing short of stylish…enjoy!

Tranquil Scandinavian Style Interiors
When many think of Scandinavian style, they immediately think stark, white, modern and even unlivable. But thankfully Scandinavian style has emerged from bare beginnings to a much more livable arrangement. With white working as a color platform, many stylish homeowners have added black for a bold modern edge and hints of color that make their use seem bold and almost edgy. While still maintaining a basically blank slate, the new Scandinavian style seems focused on livability, whether it is in cluttering up streamlined shelving units, or rumpling a bed in an otherwise spotless room. Unusual accent pieces also make frequent appearances, from mistletoe-like ceiling hangings to excessively fluffy and fuzzy throw rugs. Sometimes only a single spec of color can be seen in a room, from a fusia toned bedspread or a softly muted sofa pillow. All photographed by Per Gunnarsson, the images below show how livable a modern Scandinavian-style living space can be.
Classic Italian Interiors
If you are planning to give your home a classic Italian look, we suggest you consider the Florence based Savio Firmino‘s collection. Though they are a bit expensive on the price side, their designs really capture the old Italian essence.
Paradise in Germany: A Modern Minimalist Dream House
This minimalist white home is indeed a reflection of clean, pure and serene environment, but what makes it luxurious are the materials and technology with which each edifice is constructed. Apparently, splashes of abstract color sparsely strewn here and there are enough to satisfy a modern palette. The clean-lined architecture and simple landscape at this residence was designed by German company C18 Architekten who stayed true to their country’s architectural heart. Some people may consider this home a bit too sterile, but minimalism is definitely an acquired taste-one that appreciates the proper balance between simplicity and eccentricity. With what appears to be a rock garden adorning the poolside, one better hope the homeowner sports one heck of a floral-printed swimsuit! To live in a minimalist’s paradise…
