Cool Home Designs with Warm Accents

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 06:24 AM PST

Sunny accent colors add much needed warmth to these four crisp home designs situated in and around Kiev, Ukraine, created by talent at archiplastica. Bright statement furniture can prove a challenge when it comes to creating the right scheme in which to house it, but each room in this set of four apartments holds stark white walls and cool wood tones that form the perfect knocked back canvas.

This countryside winter home is kitted out with a huge orange sectional sofa, the large swathe of zesty color is broken by black scatter cushions that tie in with two adjacent chairs. An expansive area rug has trails of the orange accent hue mixed evenly with a good dose of white to keep things looking fresh.

The sunshine colors pull the apartment scheme together, and look great when viewed from the mezzanine bedroom level; even the fruit bowl on the kitchen island countertop appears color coordinated.

The Goloseevo apartment also takes the accent color through to the sleep space, with an amber bed throw and side chair combo. A simple white bookcase and dark curtains complete the rest of the room, which allows the bolder pieces to shine.

Couture House in Tel Aviv

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 06:00 AM PST

Situated in one of Tel Aviv’s most sought after neighborhoods, Zahala, this interesting home is the work of renowned architect Oded Halaf. The generous sized property is made up of five bedrooms complete with en suite bathrooms, a home office, a cinema and games room, a wine cellar, and a maids suite.

Inside the home, modern design elements culminate in striking effect, such as a suspended staircase with glass balustrade, and a multitude of contemporary lighting choices. In beautiful contrast, traditional pieces including distressed leather furniture and a grand stone fireplace balance out the modernity to create a homey feel.

When visiting games rooms and home cinemas we often find a 'man-den' atmosphere, but an overly masculine aura has been avoided in this space by introducing a softly feminine embroidered couch and shimmering table, all situated over an antique Persian rug. A swathe of heavy curtains run the full length of the room to shield the hideaway from the sun when movie time comes around.
