Modern Living Rooms: Interior Design Ideas

Posted: 29 Jun 2011 10:25 AM PDT

Would you like to spice up and modernize your living room? The following images of some luxurious and unique, modern living rooms, may give you some ideas for your own space…

A streamlined living room with wooden paneled walls and dark furniture.

This room is equal parts soothing and relaxing, equal parts funky, with its overwhelming use of grey, but with spurts of red in the carpet and light fixture.

The rich, chocolate leather upholstery here mimcs the dark brown of the walls and oozes indulgence, refinment, and elegance.

A small space can still be furnished nicely with a lot of white, bursts of color here and there, and moderatly sized and wisely arranged furniture.

This luxurious penthouse apartment melds the glamour of white marble and dramatic windows with modern, simple furniture and a shaggy rug.

The cement and wood here surprisingly complement each other nicely.

If you like monochromatic, this modern, nearly all white living room may be a good option for you.

The funkiness of this white, red, and black living area will appeal to a truly unique taste in both the traditional and modern.

The pops of red offer life to the black and white dynamics of this living area, and the black and white checkerboard plays nicely alongside the black and white floral graphic print on the walls.

Young Workspaces: Interior Design Ideas

Young Workspaces

Posted: 28 Jun 2011 10:40 AM PDT

Young people take a lot of pride in the way they set up their room. Though grown-ups often feel that a child’s space should feed and nurture their creativity, curiosity, and ability to focus, the space usually ends up as one that shows off the child’s passions. As each has their own unique tastes and needs, it would be rare to find two that are alike. In this set of young workspaces we focus on a few that sport a special creative flair.

The first five images are designs by Turkish interior designer, Akcalar and the last five are by Barcelona designer, Sergi Mengot.

Here, Akcalar strips down the rustic design style to end up with a simple yet rugged artist's workspace.

Here is a modern, young person's room, decorated with a touch of color and a modern workspace.

Another corner is designated in this room for the computer space and workspace, with bookshelves installed into the wall above.

And here is Akcalar's vision of what a young, future producer's or film-maker's office space would look like--simple desk and chair, lots of color and inspiration on the walls. The next designer is Mengot, from Barcelona.

This workspace rendering by Mengot is similar to Akcalar's first rendering, with a rustic vibe, wooden floors, and grey walls. Once again it is assumed to be an artist's workspace (musician's).

This kid's room maximizes space by attaching the desk to the bed area. The vibrant colors, perhaps an influence of Mengot's colorful city of residence, and natural light from the window, make it an encouraging and vibrant place for young minds to work.

This mauve (appropriate color for boys and girls) workspace helps one calm down enough to focus on their work.

This white and nude space offers a tranquil environment with charming, vintage art on the walls.

This fun and brightly-colored workspace will definitely strengthen a creative drive and make this a fun space to work in.

A clean space, devoid of clutter or extra unecessary things, makes this a space that is easy to focus in. The furniture is simple, sturdy, and white--with only a few pops of red, but no overwhelming use of color. This seems like the ideal workspace for a high school or even college student.
