Red Brick Walls in the Living Room

Red brick walls add always a unique charm to modern home interiors, creating a dramatic and sophisticated result. They bring a bohemian touch into modern spaces decorated in vintage style, letting us feel like we are in a NewYork loft...

Tiny Contemporary Apartment

This tiny yet so cute apartment of 40sm, is located in the region of ancient Kiev. After its renovation by Elena Fateeva, the apartment was transformed into a dreamy space of contemporary design with a vintage appeal due to its off white brick walls in the living room.... Although its small size, it looks like a spacious apartment due to the correct space utilization.

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!

Tiny apartment full in comfort

This is an apartment to be in love with, designed by INT2architecture. It is so tiny yet so comfortable with clever solutions for storage and such a juvenile approach to the decoration! The white exposed brick walls in the living room remind us of a loft in New York and help the light which invades from the wide window brighten the whole space and make it seems bigger... What I loved most about this tiny, cozy apartment is its dividing wall between kitchen and living room which is fully operational on both sides. Then, I adored the blackboard shelving system combined perfectly with the natural pine wood cabinet... They both creating a very interesting point of view which breaks the monochromy of white and add an industrial touch. Finally, I found perfect the wood patterned tiles in the kitchen wall. If you like them you can make some by yourselves. It is really such an easy affair... I promise, I will saw you the way in a future post.

Family Loft in Brooklyn

A family in Brooklyn converted a newly former factory in Dumbo, into a loft that had everything its owners wanted, like a sleek, open air modern kitchen. By combining contemporary with vintage design and adding some whimsical objects, like the colorful bowls in the kitchen's shelves or some all time classic pieces, like the mirrors or the piano with the silver candleholders, the owners achieved to create a vibrant living space for their family that reflects their own personal taste!

A home perfectly decorated for Christmas

I really adored this living room from the first sight ! It's so perfectly decorated for my favorite season of the year…of course Christmas!!! I love the enormous illuminated christmas tree, filled with hundreds of twinkle lights that looks so magestic during the night and the double sided stone fireplace with its inspired decoration. 

And...of course I believe in Santa (photo 1 & 5)!!! :) I 'm waiting for my gifts!

I imagine myself hanging out on that cozy leather couch, enjoying the fireplace's warmth and the atmospheric light of the christmas tree, drinking some hot aromatic gluhwein! 

Mixing Styles

Mixing different styles is my best... and this is a really good example of what I mean!!! An industrial space constructed by red brick walls and cement floor is equiped with a vintage Papa Bear Chair and its ottoman (a classic piece designed by Hans Wegner in 1954) paired with a tribal side table and a deep red kelim rug which gives life to the room... The result is a unique space with strong "personality" where a lot of us could like to live!

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!!!

Folder: Kitchen

A kitchen which combines succesfully two different styles; the industrial with the country one! Red brick walls, metallic openings and raw wooden floor (constructed by long boards which look like reused crates) cuddle in a warm way the country style cabinets and the white wooden ceiling.

Home in Melbourne

An amazing red brick house in Melbourne, designed by the owner Emilio Fuscaldo of NEST Architects... It is so simple in design but you feel that it is a space full of character, with a bit of a mid-century feel! It is constructed in reclaimed red bricks, with hardwood details, timber door frames and polished concrete throughtout. Its strong advantage is the North orientation and the floor to ceilling openings which allows loads of natural light enter inside.

HOME OFFICE: Industrial touch

A simple in design home working area, but so inspired that you feel you can spend there a lot of hours, even if you have finished your work. The red brick wall with the light construction by metal and plywood which is used as storage area, gives a magnificent industrial touch to the space! I like also the L-shaped plywood countertop which offers an enormous working space, ideal for all of us who are involved with design or handcrafts and we are in need of a lot of space....

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.
