Decorator Showhouse 2023 – Meet the Terrific Spanish-Style Project

Discover this recently redesigned 18th-century San Francisco decorator showhouse with Mediterranean architecture, enlivened by twenty-two design studios. Directed by Jenny Bittner Borden, the residence, built in 1927, in the Sea Cliff of San Francisco Bay, by known bank architects Hyman and Appleton, is filled with 28 exciting areas. A total of 22 design studios recreated the home’s three levels. In this article, we’ll show you all 28 zones, their respective Spanish architectural characteristics, and each responsible design firm. Front yard Accomplished by Martinelli Design, this garden exhales its characteristic Mediterranean vibe but also a glimpse of a Californian aura. Here, Russell Martinelli, the company’s owner, used scale as the key element to draw attention directly to the showhouse; he achieved this by using lifted planters, for example. One of the ways the designer employed to enhance the Mediterranean features was the decorated staircase with a textured Spanish star-and-cross pattern. Foyer Geddes Ulinskas Architects was responsible for this showhouse area. Even though this space has incredibly divine windows and a tasty staircase with an extravagant chandelier, what is genuinely glaring is the unique, gleaming golden tree made of light and hand-cut lenses. Powder Room and antechamber Thanks to Aubrey Maxwell, all the elements present in this powder room and antechamber are sophisticatedly connected. Like the mirror, the wooden materials fuse with the surrounding hazy wallpaper, extending mystic energy. Study This showhouse is inspiring, and this room wouldn’t be any different. Actually, as it is a study, it had to be even more inspiring and exhale a productive aura. Coy & Company was able to achieve this through the earthy tones chosen, contemporary shapes, the use of plants, and the ceiling details inspired by millwork from the 1800s. Living room Inspired by a European style, to be more precise, by the Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan, Kimberly Denman Inc. improved the living room by adding contemporary artwork, a stimulating wallpaper, and incredibly detailed furniture, including the elegantly worked ceiling, providing a luxurious atmosphere to the showhouse. Dining Room Chroma opted to bring a surrealist style to the dining room. The gradient colors on the walls and ceiling, the colorful yet color palette-belonging artworks, the rare furnishing, and the bright rug all together create a loose aura, but of course, maintain its sophistication and originality. Kitchen One of the most desired characteristics of a kitchen design, as the esthetic part is always given a lot of significance, is its elegance. However, there are more essential elements than that. The crucial characteristic of a kitchen is its functionality. Lauren Berry Interior Design was capable of creating a kitchen with both. Despite this being one of the showhouse’s most graceful environments, it is still functional, organized, and comfortable. Salon and Sunroom Created by Malone, the salon area has quite a unique design. With its peculiar walnut shelves over the window and the flashy granite bar, this design evokes a great sense of balance between old and new. The sunroom, designed by Dina Bandman Interiors, is characterized by its subtle details spread in every corner; for instance, the hand-painted geometric floor, floral wallpaper, and white plaster palm chandelier form a refined layout. Family Room To transform this showhouse zone, which was initially a hallway, into a functional, familiar room, DLC-ID worked with a serene color scheme to increase the natural light in the area, eventually creating the illusion of a more expansive space. Beyond that, the designer made this room highly cozy and homely, perfect for a family retreat. Primary bedroom, closet and bathroom This suite is the room of a design where quiet and extravagant merge, and the perfect example that opposites attract. Tineke Triggs balanced bright and dark colors and produced a lavish complete suite, focusing on highlighting the energy induced by gemstones, principally in the main bedroom. Guest Bedroom Stimulating the nostalgia that the owner of Miyuki Yamaguchi Design Studio felt when she saw this wisteria wallpaper that reminded her of spring when she was a young adult, she provided a fresh, soft look by joining the furnishing with neutral colors. Kid’s bedroom and bathroom suite Inspired by the Memphis style, EJ Interior Design transformed this showhouse section into a super playful and creative environment. And even though it is full of patterns and bold colors, these elements don’t weigh the room down; actually, the spaces look ample and safe. Second kid’s bedroom and bathroom suite Defining the butterfly wallpaper as a starting point, Chantal Lamberto reformed this suite into a whimsical kid’s bedroom centered on nature. The designer fulfilled a feeling of naivety and warmth while maintaining a charming design that is perfect for a kid’s room. Guest bedroom and bathroom Intending to originate a relaxing feeling, Marsh & Clark Design filled this showhouse zone with diverse smartly-though furnishings that could evoke that tranquility. For example, there’s the bird form lighting, the walls in the bedroom and bathroom that invoke an idea of movement, and the delicate tilted headboard that curls all over the bed and side table, like it’s wrapping you with comfort. Media Room The remarkably unique and creative design in the media room was mastered by Noz Design, where constellations are represented; for example, the Big Dipper is present in the ceiling through golden lamps representing the main stars. This designer accomplished in perfection the sensation of making anyone feel amazed and like they are in their own reality, but at the same time feel loosened. Playroom If there’s a space in this showhouse that feels like a fairytale is definitely this one. This children’s playroom, made by Shelley & Company Interior Design, thanks to the realistic wooden stools, sculptural trees, and vivid color arrangement, surely make anyone feel like they’re in a different, magical world. Perfect for boosting children’s imagination, this room is also multifunctional and extremely fun for kids to play in. Office Contrary to what many people may think, the office is more than just a place where you sit at your desk and write on your computer. This space occupies multiple roles, most of them still include work, but still in a way that demands a little bit of diversity. Recognizing that …

Steven Harris Project – Exploring the Greatest Hamptons Beach House

Transformed by Steven Harris and Lucien Rees Roberts, this oceanfront spirited architecture in New York embraces luxurious art and creativity. The successful architect founded his architecture studio in 1985 and titled it his name, Steven Harris Architects, an award-winning design firm. Each project the company handles has its distinct personality and aesthetic since the design approach is carefully suited to the client’s program, context, and location. In this case, the designers went with a sophisticated but also fun aura and a functional, comfortable design, perfect for the big client’s family and social lifestyle. As the design corporation responsible for this project always considers the location of the house they’re working on, this seaside property embodies its coastal panorama. Located on the extremity of Long Island, New York, this modernist beach house is nestled in a small, quiet town, Bridgehampton. The residence, settled above grassy dunes, is covered in pristine glass and characteristics that display the precise geometries of a modernist design. Even though the outside of the house has more of a strict look, the interior, thanks to its light and seductive forms, exhales an airy and familiar atmosphere, yet, never degrading its elegance. Beyond this flow of forms and shapes, what really transformed this house was the artistic furnishings and collections. As Steven Harris intended to create a memorable artful project with a welcoming vibe to everyone that would enjoy the house- this includes the rest of the family and the children’s friends- he opted to use these art objects that the homeowners were so interested in and inspired by to twist the mainly serene habitation into a fun place with colorful artistic details. Everything present in this house flows in harmony. It has furnishings with creative shapes, as well as with just clean lines. However, the color palette, the art, and even the texture of the rugs are all perfectly balanced, making what could be considered a bold statement piece look like a contemporary ornament that was perfectly made for the room it is in. This was exactly what Steven Harris and Lucien intended to achieve. They desired to fill the spaces with a cozy balance that could host a large crowd and still feel homely when the family is there alone. The room that can perfectly represent the intelligent use of color and art in this project is undoubtedly the media room. Summer Wheat, the New York artist that assisted in the transformation of this area, was efficiently able to use a bunch of bold hues in just one room and still made it feel rich and intimate. Due to the darker colors on the walls, sofa, and rug, the designers created a perfectly balanced design with the help of Wheat statement work and bold patterns. Another factor that is characteristic of this house structure and helped accomplish this was the windows, which prevented the space from getting too dark. Once again, the seaside view is highlighted. The large windows, neutral colors, and the use of wooden furnishings definitely emphasize the oceanic vista. It’s also possible to spot the pool pavilion and, eventually, its sculptural roof. This boomerang-shaped pool works as a bond connecting the ocean closer to the house, like the pool was a reflecting pond that acted as a prelude to a large sea view. According to Steven Harris, your eyes skip from the pool to the sea, so it visually collapses the space in between. Underneath mostly of these house areas, there’s a third level partly hidden in the landscape that assists in elevating the living spaces above. Inside this compartment, Steven Harris and the design team decided to install a basketball court and a gym, with a glass wall that gives access to a hidden yard load with Japanese holly hedges. As you have seen, this house is overall geometric. Although, the owners wanted the outside landscape to appear gentle. For this reason, the property’s grounds are a mingle of a polished and fierce garden. Despite that, this home is also an artful project, and the outdoors is no exception. The outside area is full of stimulating design details. An abstract grayish mural covers all floor and walls close to the front door. It starts on the exterior and continues down the entrance hall, finishing by the pool. Apart from the design of this Steven Harris’s project being relaxing, fluid, and familiar, he also tried to associate his design with more meaningful things, like the sunset, for example, that he represented in one of the house’s powder rooms through a beautiful orange patterned stone. Since we are diving into the bathroom’s design, it’s essential to enhance that this area of the house is often underrated. However, Steven Harris took this as a chance to elevate his design even more, expressing incredible designs in every bathroom. He and his team created a creative design while also representing a modernist contemporary style, boosting serenity. What a fantastic tour! Now that you have seen this Steven Harris design project get even more inspired for your project by discovering the best tips to use geometric rugs and elevate your project with bold forms, such as this design perfectly did,.

Inside the Memorable Stockholm Contemporary House by AO/JN Interiors

Discover this originally 1920s apartment transformed into a contemporary house with a timeless design Located in Stockholm, Sweden, there’s a house nestled in a heritage city-center neighborhood designed by Alexandra Ogonowski and Jesper Nyborg. Together, they formed AO/JN Interiors and were able to twist the originally classic design with the historical features of this apartment into a luxurious contemporary house. This building has as a foundation timeless design and architecture. This timeless style refers to various factors: historical context, functionality, relevance over time, and structures that display continuous aesthetic charisma. This type of design is often based on the ideology of simplicity, minimalism, and adaptability, upstaging trends and fashions. In this article, we’ll explore these characteristics and associate them with this contemporary house. Color Palette One of the premier elements in any interior design project is the color, principally in a contemporary style. Medium wood tones and light and neutral walls are some of the elements that contribute the most to this beige palette. Bolder colors are only used in decor items and more miniature furniture for a comfortable, prominent look and to add a luxurious contrast. In this contemporary house, this is visible in the gold details spread around the home, for example. Open Space and Lighting Another factor that can be highly beneficial for a radiant and bright color scheme is large windows and open space designs that allow lots of natural light to enter the room and, consequently, make the space airy. A statement chandelier or pendant lights are typical of this style. Beyond exhaling an expensive aura, these ornaments are also one of the only lighting furnishings that can cover a whole area with light. Even though color and large windows have a vital role in providing light to a house, this factor can only be expanded due to open design projects. The layout of a contemporary home is essentially an open plan, avoiding barriers and opting to delimit the spaces with furnishings, textures, and colors. Geometric Features Geometric figures have more importance in design than people know. These mathematical details stimulate our visual senses provocatively instead of in the traditional emotive way. Thereby, these characteristics are regularly picked by designers when the need to express a clean feeling comes up. These details are discreetly extended throughout the house. For instance, the geometric rugs spread around the building emit a modern yet, warm feeling. Simple shapes, crisp lines, streamlined silhouettes, and geometric shapes distinguish contemporary and timeless design. These clean forms are everywhere, in decoration, room layout, and furniture. Materials Although contemporary and modern design is different, sometimes they can be confounded. The contemporary style can be expressed in flexible looks, taking change with time and continuously adapting to new trends; in other words, as it is a timeless type of design, it is often based on materials that can be considered and look modern. The materials used the most in this contemporary house are highly characteristic of timeless design. Marble, solid wood, and wooden panels are the principal utilized. There are also metal finishes outspread in the design, providing a lavish touch to the mainly plain style. Blend of textures The key element to elevate any design project is the use and mix of rich textures. This contemporary house is the perfect example of that, where hard-material facades get mixed with sleek and soft surfaces, glass, and metal details. When the blend of these textures and materials is successful, it creates harmony and lightness. And that was exactly what happened to this smartly-designed residence. Once more, the rugs take a vital role when it comes to the balance of these diverse consistencies. These rugs, being the element with the softest material mixed with creative, opulent patterns, can connect all the textures together while still providing comfort and warmth. Now that you have seen this fantastic Stockholm contemporary house and the characteristics of its signature design, dive deeper into the timeless design world by checking out our project page and the stunning interiors by top designers.

Exploring the Magic Lindsay Lohan’s Nursery Design

Explore this delicate nursery design inspired by a maritime vibe, and discover the psychological benefits of the style There’s a remarkable and all-handmade nursery design inside Lindsay Lohan’s and his financier husband, Bader Shammas’s, Dubai house. Lohan was involved in the famous world from a very young age. She is a north american actress, singer, fashion designer, and even an ex-model. The actress started to perform professionally for the first time in 1998 with the movie The Parent Trap when she was just twelve years old. Surprisingly, she was also a Disney star, acting in several Disney movies. However, one of the most iconic movies she’s in is definitely Mean Girls. Even though Lohan was in the spotlight for many early years, she has a relaxed aura and wanted to provide that to her baby boy, Luai. To achieve this, Lindsay collaborated with Nestig to create this beautiful nursery design and produce a small collection of precious products, all motivated by the relaxing atmosphere of the ocean. After moving around for many years, Lindsay finally found her way back to her seaside roots, settling down in a villa near the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf. It’s because Lindsay has origins close to the ocean that she feels so comfortable near the sea, and it was precisely that feeling that the actress wanted to provide and share with her son. According to Nestig’s co-creator Sara Adam Slywka, brand new mom as well, what amazed her the most was how similar she and Lindsay were when it came to their desired nursery. Even though they followed distinct design inspirations, they both wished to have an enjoyable nursery design with adorable items they could share with their loved ones. Apart from being cute, this nursery design it’s also highly functional and safe, visible in the rounded corners of the furniture. When it comes to the wallpaper, it smartly mixes classic elements, like the sailboat and the plane, but of course, it has a unique feature, the almost-rainbow watercolor illusion that exhales a perky feeling. Beyond being a relaxing and happy wallpaper, this mural also has a considerable development effect. These design details can bestow visual stimulation for babies, kids, and sometimes even parents. The wall illustrations can boost children’s imagination and creativity and impact an advanced foundation for colors, figures, and nature. Despite these benefits, it was through this mural that the designer made this nursery design feel warm and cozy. To its advantage, the walls are also full of details that can help the baby and Lindsay develop an even deeper connection by pointing out the elements and explaining them, for instance. To add pops of blue to the nursery design, the designer utilized various soft rugs for the mainly neutral room. Using a neutral color palette, such as the pale yellows, creams, and blues present in the room, induces a serene atmosphere, giving the baby a much better quality of sleep. It was also thanks to the combination of these soft colors and cozy rugs that the designer was able to make the room feel even warmer. This interesting tour is the perfect example of what a creative and snugging kid’s space should be like. Safety, comfort, calmness, and stimulus for the imagination should always be prioritized through colors, for example. A kid’s bedroom and their rugs should be funny with utmost comfort and safety. Aiming to achieve the best safe space for any child, TAPIS Studio created the best kid’s collection. The rugs are made of wool, where a hypoallergenic fiber that’s comfortable to play on and easy to clean is used. Additionally, the rugs are colorful yet, add just the perfect playful vibe, maintaining its serenity and motivating children’s general learning.

Italian Design – Discover This Elegant Seaside Villa by John Ike

Transformed by John Ike, this New Jersey house embraces a contemporary style with the perfect touch of Italian design Located in Deal, New Jersey, this Italian design house, a work from John Ike, is a mix of inspiration and matching contemporary pieces with signature elements of Italian design. In the report of Mia Jung, who also worked on the oceanfront residence, Ike’s projects always have a narrative. His work invariably displays a responsibility to tell a story through his design and architecture, along with an immense consciousness to detail. Following this historical inspiration, Ike always takes the historic part as a starting point and then converts it to a more contemporary and alive style. This Italian design-inspired villa is the perfect example of that. Based on the architecture present in Sicily, this project was constructed mainly based on black lava and stucco, clearly highlighted on the house’s exterior. In this article, we’ll show you how Ike, alongside Jung, was able to blend contemporary style with Italian design while also telling a story. The interior, being the opposite of the exterior, is clear and light. And even though the living room emits the feeling of being vast, the colorful pendants hanging on the ceiling and the ceramic vases, for example, enliven the space and enhance the story that the architect desires to carry. As Ike wanted to create a retreat from the hustle of city life by constructing an idyllic beach house, coziness was an essential feeling that this space had to provide. To achieve this, the interior designer and John build several seating areas, including the bar, where a stunning wall of bleached-walnut planks with hammered-bronze details catches the eye. But most importantly, the key to connecting all the areas and exhaling comfort is the cozy rugs. When it comes to elegancy, the star element is definitely the Venetian terrazzo floor and the fluted-plaster mantel, which emphasizes, once again, the Italian design present in the room, but of course, still with a discreet touch of contemporaneity. This house displays a great sense of personality with uniqueness, and the dining room is no exception. With an artistic design, this room allows the feeling of comfort to spread throughout the area, inviting a beach paradise environment. Some important features that helped to achieve this look were the custom-designed table by Ike and the collection of vintage items present, such as the creative candleholders, the chandelier, and tasteful tiles, which add an artful touch to the Italian design. This oceanfront villa boasts a contemporary and modern design that generates a pacific atmosphere—combining vintage work, contemporary style, and Italian influence. The last style was realized using a palatial scale, arched windows framed in blackened steel, romantic massing, and a dark façade. If you look over at the staircase, it perfectly reflects this concept. The fluted white oak and blackened-steel panels create an outstanding effect that escalates the blend of styles present in this house. This residence needed to work as a refuge from the city’s busy life. And, logically, the main bedroom, naturally being the personal home sanctuary for the homeowners, has a major role in providing that warmth. Fortunately, as it was desired, this room successfully acts as a refuge to the city’s bustle. The bedroom owns a vintage Osvaldo Bronsani bed with a majestic aura and engraved zinc artwork from the 1970s. Lastly, the pastel color palette and the delicate texture of the textiles, like the rug, also assist in smoothing the space. This staggering Italian design seaside villa is a stunning inspiration for your project. It evinces that the blend of contemporary design and the vibrant hues of Italy is a flawless match. This house is the perfect example of an impeccable design inspired by history, and that can smartly tell a story of how contemporary and Italian-inspired pieces can coherently meld. Be inspired to create an interior design project where comfort and refined taste intertwine – check out our article with expert tips to decorate with modern rugs and infuse your layouts with the same amount of comfort and sophistication that this villa design shares.
