Stylish floating vanities

They are stylish and they give a special personality to the bathroom... According to their design and their materials, we then choose the tiles, the sanitary articles and the accessories of the bathroom, in order to create a high aesthetics space!  

TR2 the rooms

When Georgios C. Carabellas (an entrepreneur based  in London who is the founder and creative director of TR2 the lifestyle brand) in 2007, stumbled across four derelict shacks in the traditional part of the main village of Skyros, he felt in love by the first sight with their atmospheric views and  their aura. 

I 'm pretty sure that you will fall in love with this guesthouse too... It combines perfectly the Skyrian traditional architecture with contemporary eclectic design and touches of moroccan style. The renovated buildings share a common patio which is tiled with reclaimed old handmade tiles... It is the guesthouse's candy eye which looks like a traditional embroidery! There, you can enjoy your breakfast or a Greek coffee, sitting in a set of traditional Greek round metallic table and rattan chairs. And latter, if the noon doesn't find you in one of the wonderful beaches of the island, you can take a nap in the hammock under the fig trees go the guesthouse.

Industrial yet so Cozy & Inviting House

When the simplicity of industrial aesthetic meets natural materials such as wood, the interior of a home can become a romantic and peaceful space that evokes a tranquil lifestyle.

This home is, essentially, one that embodies the romantic image of a life of elegant simplicity and comfort. Its use of organic combined with industrialist aesthetics of subtle brick walls and cool metal tones, invites you to seek a state of simplicity in which happiness is grounded not in the objects owned, but in the stress-free, cozy lifestyle the home elicits.

Black apartment with white hues

Could you ever live in a totally black apartment? I generally love dark colors but I couldn't imagine I could live in a space painted in black color until I first saw this overall black apartment! Especially the kitchen caught my attention...The combination of the white counter and its black surrounding is just perfect and those black handmade tiles are really lovely!!!

Folder: Bathroom

When I am looking at this bathroom, I feel the serenity and the relaxation that a bubble bath will offer to my body and my mind too... This is exactly the bathroom of my dreams! An eclectic chic bathroom with grey cement polished walls, black and white hand made retro tiles, wooden roof, a chic pendant light and off course a claw foot tub to offer you the best bubble bath of your life! I imagine it infused with my favorite essential oil (I love the jasmine), by candlelight, listening a relaxing music... Oh, this is magical!!!

Folder: Dining Room

Those lovely handmade cement tiles fit perfectly with the rustic island and the industrial dining table... I like a lot the use of different in style chairs around the table in deep red and black color!!!

Loft

I love so much this loft!!! It constitutes a sample of how I really would like my home to be. Massive windows, high ceilings, exposed bricks, concrete,rusted steel beams and cement tiles are my best. I also like the contrast of the two opposite walls. In the dining area a totally functional storage wall has been constructed while in the opposite side of the space a wonderful art wall has been created over the bed.

Charming Rustic House

In Girona, Spain it is located this delightful residence, which combines in a successful way contemporary style with tradition. It is based in the use of natural materials in its construction, using them in their natural colors, as the walls with exposed stones and the wooden roofs and floors. In order to balance the final impression and give a modern touch in the space, a lot of metallic construction and furniture have been added, as the metallic round stair and the energy fireplace in the living room. In the kitchen the modern inox appliances and the black tile in the floor are combined in an excellent way with the cement wall and shelves and the rustic cupboard. The mixing game of modern and rustic elements continues in a successful way in the bedroom and bathroom as well. 

Remember that you can also find me in Facebook & Twitter.

Retro flair in the House II

For another time, my favorite combination of handmade tiles which look like a patchwork of drawings and pastels, in a contemporary house. The designer didn't hesitate to use both indoors as well as outdoor.

Retro flair in the House

If you belong to the kind of people who are lovers of retro style, don't hesitate to add a retro touch in your space even if it is extremely modern. Find aged, hand made ceramic tiles and repurpose them, using them to dress a wall, a piece of the roof or a single unit as a table, a bench etc. The result will really surprise you!!!

Moroccan dining with a modern touch

A really modern aspect of a dining room in a classic Moroccan space. The dining room table was made by a raw wood, from an old tree trunk, and its free shape strikes a balance with the perfectly symmetrical design of the hand made floor tiles. The white Eames chairs come to give some light to the room's dark atmosphere of mystery!
