A Super Small Apartment Design With Floor Plan: Interior Design Ideas

A Super Small Apartment Design With Floor Plan

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:31 AM PDT

This dinky apartment layout holds a whole host of cool features, designed by Lera Curve, who might have us consider: "Small space is not a reason not to dream of something more, something light, airy and beautiful. Maximize open space, light walls, light furniture, natural materials and color accents create a feeling of spaciousness and freshness." This urban situated home interior has been created to give the dweller a sense of existing outside the city when at home, a place to feel the freshness of nature and a sense of rooted tranquility.

First things first, you cannot have a tranquil space with all of your random ‘stuff’ cluttering up your zen. So take a tip from this small open plan space and hide everything away in a generous bank of tall storage units. When there isn’t much floor space you should always look up, high ceilings become a clutter-bug's friend when it comes to finding installation space for cupboards fit for some crafty concealing. These units have been built in a plain white material so that they blend into the surroundings rather than stand out, whilst a couple of display shelves have been picked out in light wood tone, floating against a skyscape of fluffy white clouds.

The home office area extends right out of the storage bank, which gives easy access to files and stationery supplies.

The desk is of a ingenious design that swings away to disappear into a slot left between the cupboards, leaving the living space clear and spacious looking. Over at the windows, roman blinds in a delicate floral fabric introduce playful hints of a countryside setting.

On the opposite wall, bold green tree silhouette wallpaper spans the area, along with two floor to ceiling mirrors that create the illusion of extra space and light.

A wall mounted entertainment unit prevents the floorspace from being eaten up, and a flatscreen TV keeps things sleek.

Instead of sofa end tables, tiny shelves provide a place for reading lamps and beverages.

Even a small dining area has been made possible in this well thought out space.

Colorful choices in the shower room/utility room distract the eye from its limited proportions.

Ultra Modern Italian Bathroom Design: Interior Design Ideas

Ultra Modern Italian Bathroom Design

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 08:39 AM PDT

Bathtubs, basins and bathroom vanity units come in all manner of shapes, sizes and finishes so its not often that a design truly takes us by surprise. However, this array of modern bathroom furniture, by italian bathroom design company Toscoquattro, really does push the envelope.

This block walnut vanity unit with integrated basin keeps a contemporary scheme looking streamlined. The wall mounted faucet takes the form of a neat glass shelf, complete with a place for a small floral display.

A similar white design appears as a simple console shelf when viewed head-on.

This cube vanity-basin combination provides a unique opportunity for central room placement, creating a bathroom island that is facilitated by a chrome stand tap.

The cube formation can be set against a wall, with a top mounted tap, when space is limited.

The unusual slope of this basins base is a new approach to drainage.

A half-spherical bathroom basin appears to perch precariously on the very edge of this minimalist vanity block; fed by a freestanding faucet it seems almost independent of its mount.

The front of the minimalistic vanity opens up to reveal handy drawer space for bathroom paraphernalia.

Simplistic vanity and basin combos work well as twin units, to keep the look uncluttered.

This freeform bathtub really breaks the mould–and in fact looks like it has been formed using no mould at all.

An independent slide-away drawer unit is an interesting solution.

A storage section accessed via the top of this bathroom vanity unit is an unexpected find, and it’s easy to see how top accessed storage cubbies could keep countertops clutter free.

Simple isn’t always boring, as with these elegantly formed basins.

In this vanity unit the basin color blends with surrounding material; the overall look is as a solid piece of furniture rather than a bathroom specific fixture.

Grate bottomed basins look almost futuristic…

…and some grates don’t bother with a basin at all, and instead provide drainage at the vanity shelf surface itself.
