I love it when old and new meet and this bedroom is the perfect example of this. The old wide mirror is the center piece of this bedroom and functions as a headboard as well (not functionally, just visually). By adding minimal pieces like the marble shelf and the two wall lamps, this look becomes instantly more interesting.
This beautiful home for sale at Inner-city specialists is decorated with a lot of dark grey and black elements, which gives it a stylish, yet dramatic look. I like the custom solutions that are incorporated here. The kitchen works very well in a relatively small space and includes wall to wall high shelving to display the nicest kitchen accessories. In the bedroom, a custom headboard was fitted, which includes space for magazines so no separate nightstands are needed, which is a nice solution as well. The build in bookshelf in the small nude pink room is a desk at the same time. I like the contrast between the dark grey bedroom walls and the pink here.
The area that has the most space here is the dining table, which therefor looks like it’s the central space of the home. Even though the walls are kept white in the living room, the dramatic look continues in this room as well because the window sills are painted dark grey.
I like this simple but very cozy bedroom. The window sill behind the bed is used as a bedside table too and I like the plants on each side of the bed. Rather than using a headboard, many pillows are stacked together and these different textures make this look playful as well.
Remember I showed you the Myk daybed from Innovation Living in my office last month ? Well, I promised you I would show you the transformation of the daybed into a guest bed and since we are having friends over this week I thought this was the perfect opportunity to snap some pictures for you.
I have really been enjoying Myk as a daybed and sofa in my office. Just to be able to have a coffee or check my emails on my laptop is so much better then sitting at my desk all the time. I move the pillows around as a backrest or head pillow as well, which is great.
We are having a couple over this week, so I just lifted the top mattress off, placed it against the bottom one and made a double bed for two. I can easily make two single beds from it as well, just by leaving a space in the middle. I placed the triangle pillows at the head of the bed, which creates a headboard and makes it easy to read a book while in bed. I used the black stool that I normally use as a coffee table as a night stand and borrowed one from the other room for the other side. I think my guests will get a great night sleep here !

I like the way this home is set up and customized. The kitchen is shaped out of different modules in different materials (black, white, and wooden module), which makes it very interesting. I like the way the kitchen goes over into a seating bench with the round breakfast table. In the bedroom, the same wood is used for a walk-in closet which is also the wooden headboard for the bed.
Fitting a family of four in a one-bedroom apartment is quite a challenge, but if you are a little bit creative with the layout and create custom solutions just like this family did, it actually looks quite comfortable. The living room and kitchen have a black-and-white contrasting palette and the white walls make this apartment look more spacious.
It’s optimal to have a bedroom for each person, but if you live in the city for example, where rents are skyrocketing, this is not always possible. The bedroom in this flat functions as a kid room, master bedroom, and office at the same time, all while still looking spacious and stylish.
The double bed has been separated from the rest of the room by a custom solution with closed storage space on the bottom and a glass partition on the top to let in the natural light coming from the windows. The bed is made with a simple white duvet cover* that stands out against the grey paint on the wall, which creates the illusion of a headboard.
On the other side of the glass partition, the kids have their bunk bed, which is a DIY project out of Ikea Stuva (not currently in their collection anymore, they introduced Smastad instead) for storage on the bottom and a contrasting black ladder that matches the overall palette of the room. The home office area in front of the window is placed on a small area rug, which visually separates this area from the rest of the room.
