Posted: 05 May 2014 07:14 AM PDT

This workspace inspiration gallery offers up some ideas that are superbly weird, and some that are just plain wonderful, so let’s get started!

Luxury Villa in the Antibes

Posted: 02 May 2014 09:43 AM PDT

Just minutes from a beautiful beach, on the west side of Cap d’Antibes, stands a uniquely decorated villa where antique Asian pieces have been intermingled with a luxurious modern Asian flair. The French Riviera holiday home offers up four en suite bedrooms, a vast reception area, a dining room, sitting room, cinema room, a children’s playroom, a billiard room, a spa with sauna and steam room, a private gym, and a staff apartment or guest house that has two further bedrooms and its own kitchen, laundry room and cellar.

Beyond the holiday home's large gardens with mature palm trees and shrubs, the glorious view continues all the way out to the sea. A bank of sun loungers are set to soak up the suns rays on a deck that runs alongside a generous infinity pool.

The planting in the grounds is of a modern style, interspersed between concrete steps and walkways.
