Hillside Apartment

Located in London, this wonderful apartment was designed by Turner Pocock. Inspired by the large garden in front of the property and the natural light which invades from the enormous windows, the design based on a natural scheme with layers of green throughout, using a mix of new and old, luxurious and industrial furniture and fixings, creating a fresh eclectic interior... 

Contemporary dining room

A unique contemporary dining room so clever designed... What I liked most in it is its central wall with the floor to ceiling shelf unit, the white doodles in the dark grey wall and the group of Tom Dixon copper lights.

Folder: Dining Room

A dining room that gives you the impression that you are in another era... There is a wonderful mix of  different styles here. The medieval structure of the building with the exposed red brick walls is perfectly combined with the elegant marble wall panelling which adds a touch of luxury in the space. I find ideal the choice of the rustic dining table made by repurposed wooden planks!

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.

Christmas Countdown - 28days

A beautiful idea for Christmas decoration and very easy to do it! Use big branches of trees instead of a Christmas tree and hang it from the roof over the table.... It would be fabulous!!!

Dining Room: Rustic Touches

An ideal composition of furniture and decorative items to create the dining room in your holiday house, without spending a fortune to furnish it. The only thing you have to do is to visit  flea market in order to find your "treasures" and to find all those old things you kept so many years in your warehouse, without knowing what to do with them! If you are an enthusiast DIYer  things are better, because now it's the time for you to achieve great things constructing with your hands "little miracles". For example, it is very easy to construct those pretty rustic wooden shelves, to change the color in old chairs, so as they fit to the home's new decorative style or to knit even those beautiful pendant lamps! Don't panic it is really very easy to make them, even if you don't have any idea on how to do all those works.... There are a lot tutorials in the internet for everything you will imagine to do. Trust me! I have learned a lot searching it...

The Whole World In Your Wall

Who isn't fascinated by a world map? Personally, I like them so much, notably the vintage ones! Maybe because they suggest faraway places, new experiences and they allow me to dream about my future travels.

Wall-size maps come in a variety of colors and styles so as to fit in every decoration style and every room.... And if you are a talented DIYer, why don't you try to paint one by yourself? It would be unique!!!

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.

Do you like black & white combination? Take a look in this apartment... You will love it!!!

Majorca Country House

For another time we are going in Majorca, a place of Mediterranean where summers are hot and winters are mild, to see a beautiful house. The villa you can see in the photos was designed by the interior designer Mestre Paco, who achieved to create a space of living in a natural and very comfortable environment. 

The bold stone walls in the exterior punctuated by the traditional wooden shutters and create a fairytale setting. In the interior, stone walls and arches, white plaster, white wooden beams in the roof and the pebbles made floor in the entrance and the living room dominate, so the designer choose to decorate the house mixing some industrial design, with contemporary and eclectic pieces creating a wonderful result.

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.

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!     

White Perfection

Λευκοί τοίχοι, λευκά έπιπλα και φωτιστικά και οι αγαπημένες μου μεταλλικές καρέκλες tolix chairs (που μπορείς να τις βρεις σε ό,τι χρώμα φανταστείς),συνθέτουν το απόλυτο καλοκαιρινό σκηνικό, πλυμμηρισμένο από φως, με μια αίσθηση απόλυτης δροσιάς. Απαραίτητα αξεσουάρ κάποια διάφανα  γυάλινα βαζάκια, καλαθάκια κι ένα ματσάκι φρεσκοκομμένη λεβάντα μέσα σ' ένα τενεκεδάκι να σκορπίζει το διακριτικό του άρωμα σ΄αυτό το υπέροχο δωμάτιο.
