Open Plan Layouts for Modern Homes

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 06:00 AM PST

We can’t help but gather great ideas on how to create practical open plan spaces from these two realistic sized apartments, that have been beautifully visualized by Artem Lazarev. With calm yet confident color palettes, flowing furniture layouts and clever storage designs.

Apartment design number one begins in the lounge area, which at first glance appears to be larger than the average living room. But on closer inspection, we see that the spacious feel has been created by moving the couch into the center of the room, where even though there is not a great area left between the return of the sofa and the fireplace, the flow of space around it creates an airier design.

As is typical now in modern life, an entire wall has been dedicated to home entertainment–though on this occasion the design incorporates an attractive bank of wooden fuel for the fire that has been moved to a second billing position at the side. This shuffling of priorities allows the TV to be enjoyed at the optimum position whilst avoiding heat damage, but still allows the homeowner to enjoy a cozy fireside ambiance as an alternative to the hidden heating system.

An L-shaped kitchen allows space to situate a modest dining table to accommodate four diners. The small space still manages to evoke the feeling of luxury with the help of two striking pendant lights; in terms of light distribution, one light would suffice over the eating area, but in terms of design a duo gives a greater result.

Immediately behind the sofa, an eight seat dining suite fits in the slot with just enough space around it to pull out the chairs. Try to avoid pushing your dining suite up against a wall

A Christmas Dream Home

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 06:00 AM PST

When Christmastime arrives we all have our own special ways of decorating our home to conjure up a little magical atmosphere, and we marvel at the Hollywood movie homes in the festive films running on TV. Well this beautiful home, designed by Rozhkov Tatiana, is a Christmastime wish come true; with a striking interior decorated in chic cabin style, this place just longs to be filled with yuletide fancies.

Made in an authentic European style, this 786.1 square meter wooden house is holds furniture and finishing materials imported from France and Belgium. The overall effect creates a perfect staging area for a festive family extravaganza; imagine the ornate chandelier lit warmly over the roaring fireplace, as children rip open far too many presents from under the Christmas tree and adults sip merrily on mulled wine–xmas bliss!

Folding doors reveal the formal dining area, providing the perfect opportunity for Christmas guests to migrate back and forth between the mince pies and the mingling.

Suspended above the eight seat dining suite, between two lantern lights, is a festive wreath dripping with twinkling gems and natural greenery.

The bathroom is an all year round cozy cabin, complete with a quaint row of little nesting birds across the light fitting.

Carefully chosen pieces of artwork take the plainness off the white-washed wooden walls, whilst retaining the monochrome theme that runs through the black furnishings and striped upholstery.

Christmassy finishing touches are even applied in the the private master bedroom of this winter holiday home, where two subtle white pine trees adorn each end of a small display shelf. A warm throw edged with tassels adds a warm touch to the bed that stands adjacent to a home office area–shut down for the season.

A games room provides a great place for all the family to while away the evening together, once all the gifts are unwrapped.
