Renovated Loft

post

Look at this beautifully renovated loft by Made by Cohen. The windows let in a lot of light, which reflects on the straight lines of the modern kitchen and the rooms itself. By using wooden details throughout the loft and leaving parts of its walls bare, it actually looks quit soft, in contrast to the black, large windows.

Wabi Sabi bathrooms by Norm.

post

Don’t we all dream of the perfect bathroom to relax in after a busy workday ? With the design of this bathroom Norm. proves once again they know how to combine modern and natural elements into a soft and clean look. I love how they combined the straight white lines with the wood of the ladder and the concrete sink lot.

DIY Chistmas envelopes

post

It’s always nice to attach a card to a Christmas present and what better way to do it than in a self-made envelope ? I decided to keep it simple and used marble and concrete texture prints. I cut out the four corners of the paper and folded the flaps. For the closure on the back, I used a black dot sticker. On the front I attached a little message with a Masking Tape.

The gorgeous Aesop stores

post

I have been in love with the beautiful bottles of cosmetic brand Aesop from the first time I saw them, but that’s not the only design element of the brand that’s pretty. Their stores in Boston, London and Paris are just as divine. The one in Boston consists out of cornices covering the walls and making shelves for the signature bottles. In the Paris store, the shelfs are created of old nails, closely aligned to each other and the London store is modeled on an 1930’s medical laboratory. I think all three stores are very original, I will certainly pay a visit the next time I’m in london, Paris or Boston. What about you ?

Modern apartment with a vintage touch

post

Jordane Arrivetz is an interior designer who finds her inspiration from different aspects of the design culture, especially the 50s and 60s. The apartment she styled combines modern, clean lines, like the kitchen counter and bathroom, with vintage elements  like the old ladder in the kitchen and the frames in the living room. I think both are very well combined and give the apartment character and personality.
