Stylizimo House

Today I am so excited as I have to present you an amazing house!!! The new house of Nina Holst, the girl behind the Stylizimo blog. It's about a dreamy house with open spaces and extra wide windows which offer a breathtaking view of its surroundings. The choice of painting almost all of its surfaces in white helps the space to become brighter, while the maintaing of the preexisting wooden ceiling,the wooden floor and the addition of the dining table chairs in the natural color of wood brings  the necessary warmth into the space... I love so much the contrast of black and white surfaces and the green touch of plants and flowers situated everywhere in the house, giving their vivid color and offering their positive energy to the house! 

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!!!

Sunday Morning Tales

Good morning people!!! As this period is really exhausting for me, with endless hours of working and without a day of rest, I could consider today's post as the ideal mind trip! 

When I first saw this heaven place, I felt that this is what I could think as the ideal place for summer holidays... A tiny hutlike structure surrounded by palms that houses the bedroom and bath. Every other living spaces including kitchen, seating and dining areas are plain air... Just like a camping near the sea, enriched with a lot of style!!!

Scandinavian Apartment with Mid Century Touches

An old apartment in Stockholm was fully renovated by its owners who achieved to transform it into a totally modern one while respecting the original features... According to the Scandinavian design all the surfaces (walls, floor, ceiling, kitchen cabinets) are painted in white while there are a lot of furniture, accessories and fabrics in black. Some interesting additions of Mid Century touches, as the two sofas in the living room and the small wooden showcase, give the air of another era in the apartment. What I love also about this home is the art wall created in the long white wall in black & white designs and then the existence of small pots with plants almost everywhere!

Round Windows

A totally modern home in design can seem so cozy... I love the twin round, tube like windows which have been transformed into a super duper comfortable nook for relaxation while you can gazing at the garden or enjoying the warmth of the central round fireplace, during the cold months of the year!

Summer Semi-terrace Area

A unique summer house's outdoor dining area, where you can spend a lot of hours during your holidays... I love the white raw plaster on the walls and the cement floor which indicate the home's traditional character in combination with the tree trunks and canes on the ceiling and the bold built-in seating and dining table. The addition of rattan accessories and linen cushions and tablecloth in off-white and black hues transform this semi-terrace area into the absolute summer nook!!!

Folder: Living Room

An industrial space can easily be transformed into a modern residence... White washed brick walls, enormous windows and cement floor consist the perfect background of a comfortable living room decorated in black and grey hues so as to fit perfectly with the industrial style of the space. What I loved most in this room is the stone coffee table and the amazing pebbles carpet!!!

Amazing Rural House

In French Dordogne, in the Aquitaine region, there is a wonderful rural housing that smells Spring, as its every single corner even the majority of furniture are painted in white.

In order to break the monochrome which is ruling and give some liveliness to the spaces, the owner has chosen to add some touches of extra vivid colors. He used bubblegum pink, blue and lime green to add a pop touch and some black combined with gold to give more elegance.

The "game" of mix and match of furniture (my loved one), pieces and materials of different styles and eras -industrial and avant-garde elements with some more classical lines- has an amazing and playful result. 

Black & White Living Room

A bright and fresh living room.... I like the use of white color as a canvas with a touch of black in some furniture and decorative items. You are blessed if you have a living room with such a big window which allows the sun to fill the space with its warmth and light. 

Then, with simple furniture, a lot of inspiration and some accessories you can transform the room to a wonderful living room. A cozy white sofa with an ottoman is ideal for relaxing after a hard day, a simple black rustic coffee table with a tray on it, full of aromatic candles and a vase with fresh flowers to create a romantic atmosphere, a handmade wool stripped kelim to keep you warm and a black & white  "LOVE" pillow to remind you that love is everything in our life!!! :)

Kitchen: Raw & Rustic

Another rustic kitchen, as I know how much you like it, but this time is extremely different. It is designed in a modern basis, equipped with all stainless steel modern appliances but it is constructed with materials mentioning rustic, as rough raw planking for the cupboards and cement in the counter top and the floor as well. The rustic attitude strengthened by the marble sink and the wooden ceiling. The atmosphere becomes more dramatic with the use of black color in the walls, the old golden frame over the sink and the two industrial ceiling lights.

Kitchen

A simple contemporary kitchen, enriched with classical pieces of famous designers, give a special result. I like a lot the double row of white cupboards which they serve two purposes; The aesthetic, because they give the impression that the room has high ceiling and the practical as they offer much more storage. The brown row of cupboards "breaks" the white monotony of the space and then the brown-beige patterned tiles unify perfectly the cupboards of different colors. 

Very interesting is the dining area with the Eames' white Eiffel chairs, Tulip Inspired Table and the Tom Dixon's Copper Shade pendant light, which allows you to see in it the whole room from its highly reflective surface. 

Would you like Tom Dixon's pendant light? See some other here.
Would you like Eames' chairs? You can see them also here and there.

Kitchen: Combining Rustic with Modern

I love so much kitchens whose design is far away from the common. I strongly believe that our home ought to have its own unique decorative style which will reflect the owners personality, needs and will fit with the house's architecture as well.  

In this kitchen I found so interesting the combination of rustic and modern style. A bold stone wall, wooden roof, extremely bid old wooden beams, a stone sink and a fireplace - internal BBQ are combining perfect with the grey cement construction which includes the built-in cupboards painted in black, the inox modern appliances and the mirror like, global pendant lamp.

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.

Design: Concrete Coffee Table

 

In a total black, white and grey decorating  has been created the most cozy and inviting living room. A comfortable sofa is waiting for you to rest on it, dunking in its fluffy square, rectangular and round pillows and then a concrete coffee table, with fine design, to put your cup of hot coffee on it!!! I like it so much....  Mostly the recess for tealights.

Black & White Inspiration

Oh, such a splash of design and inspiration in a small corner!!! 

Despite the severity of  the black and white hues used here, the result is really unique. The total absence of color breaks by the colorful flower bouquet in the table and the presence of the gold inside the Tom Dixon's pendant lights (1.Beat Light Fat, 2.Beat Light Tall) which fit perfect to the space.
