This kitchen design by Doherty Design Studio features tiny tiles all over its surfaces, which has a very graphic effect. The graphic lines of the tiles are smoothened out by elements of leather, marble and velvet.  Their residential design has made the shortlist of the Australian Design Awards.

I like these fragile porcelain pieces and textiles in combination with the rough concrete in this styling done by talented Jenni Juurinen. I’m thinking about painting one wall in our kitchen with a concrete finish like in the first picture, I think it would look great against the minimal lines of our kitchen.

This stunning apartment in Como was featured on the Bo Bedre blog and I absolutely love the contrast between the dark kitchen and the white living room area. The dark kitchen has concrete flooring and black open shelving on the wall, which accentuates the sunlight beaming in through the windows. The fully black or dark palette has a very dramatic yet cozy effect.

This tiny studio is decorated and designed in such a nice way if you ask me. What this space might lack in square meters, it makes up for in carefully chosen furniture and accessories for the perfect cozy and inviting space with lots of character.

The tiny kitchen includes a dining table which is perfect for two people and by hanging up all pots and pans, space is saved in the cupboards (looks stylish too if you ask me). The small living room connects to the bedroom and has a lot of nice art pieces and textiles for an inviting look.

I think this bedroom in powder pink looks amazing. The natural sunlight beaming through the windows, the decorations on the wall and the doors that are painted in a slightly lighter pink form a delicate yet sophisticated look.

I love that only the bedroom has this color on the walls, which comes peeking through from the living room. The wainscoting texture on the pink bedroom walls adds a lovely texture to this minimal setting.

Having a separate dining room is such a luxury nowadays and even though I do see the benefit of having this, it somehow looks quite luxurious to have a room solely for this purpose. I think this dining room looks great and I like the eight ant chairs around the oval table. A great way to fit many people and to still sit facing each other.

I like this cozy kitchen with petrol blue cabinet fronts combined with chrome details, a marble counter top and white tiles all the way up to the ceiling. While as the kitchen has quite a modern and clean look, the room has a few vintage items and art pieces as well, which is an interesting combination.

Ikea is around for so many years already that the pieces they were producing in their early years are wanted vintage design. Here you can see a styling of a set of vintage leather armchairs combined with new Ikea shelving and elements. I like the warm feeling that the natural materials give to the space.

I like the contrast between the different rooms in this home. The living room is light and bright, with white walls and a lot of wood, which has a very warm look and feel. The kitchen has a very classic touch with the floral wall paper and the antique chairs. Yet by painting the chairs in a cool grey, this room looks very fresh. The bedroom is painted in warm grey and is decorated with a lot of linen, which makes this a very warm and inviting space.
