Opt For Chic, Yet Inexpensive Alternatives To Transform Your Home

Mix old with new with furniture as one of the most in-trend interior styles is to have antique or old pieces sitting beside something which is completely new. This trend suits many homes as there are nearly always 'treasures' which you simply can't ignore but are never really sure what to do with! The key is not to over crowd, as this just becomes a jumbled mess rather than a striking interior which shows that it has been carefully and tastefully thought out.

The choice of colours you use should also be given careful consideration. Whilst the latest design are predominately white opt for a modern cream and team with rich reds to bring a feeling of warmth to your rooms.

Rather than have curtains which can block out light in a small room opt for blinds made from neutral coloured fabrics to bring the room together effortlessly. Natural colours are ideal for small rooms without the starkness white sometimes portrays. These colours make a room feel lived in and homely which is what many people strive for. Getting the combination right is a matter or re-adjusting your mind set to a completely new way of looking at interior designs.

Rather than wishing your home could look like it has come straight out of the page of a design magazine stamping your own individualism is what great interiors are all about! We can all wish that we had more space, more ideas and perhaps more money to buy all the wonderful things we long for, take a reality check and opt for chic, yet inexpensive alternatives to make transform your house into a warm and inviting home.

Custom Home Design FAQs

What Custom Home design process entail?

When you are ready for us to help you design your next home, we have the first consultation to get ideas and sketches. It is a good idea to collect your ideas, sketches and photos in a folder to come with you. We will then create a preliminary plan, which describe the ideas you take with you in the first visit and they discussed at that first meeting. If you have not quite decided on the front to see the appropriate home for your looks, we can work with you by looking through picture books and other home program to help you decide how you want the front of your home to look. When the preliminary plan is approved, we can email files to the approval of changes underway. We do usually some set of changes that preliminary design for transport to the construction documents.
After this preliminary stage, we begin the final construction documents (basically, the rest of the program, ie increase, electrical, foundation, mechanical, etc.) At this stage the designer and client must be in agreement on the final layout design is and ready for generation of all plans. All our plans are drawn in AutoCADD software, so custom home plans can be completed quite efficient and very accurate.

Home Improvement Remodeling

Are you thinking about remodeling your home? There are many remodeling projects that can increase the resale value of your home: adding space, kitchen and bath remodeling, including upgrading counters, cabinets, fixtures and appliances, adding insulation and replacement windows and doors to increase the energy efficiency of the home, and even completely changing the floor plan of the home.

Home remodeling requires good planning and scheduling. After all, you’ll most likely be living in the home during the remodeling. The NH Home Builders Association gives these tips to help stay on schedule:

• Expect to set aside time for telephone calls and regular meetings with your contact person to review progress and discuss the schedule for remaining work.
  
• Ask your remodeler which product orders require the longest lead times. For custom-made items, it is especially important to make your selections as early in the process as possible.
  
• Realize that changes you make to the project after work has begun may affect the schedule and the budget. Change orders should include prices, full descriptions, and authorization in writing before any new work begins.

If your city or town requires an architect to stamp your remodeling plans, consider hiring the architect as the project manager. The architect is your advocate during the design and remodel, saving you money, solving problems that might arise, and most importantly, keeping your goals as the top priority as he or she manages your team of experts during the home’s design and construction.

Maximising The Potential Of Small Spaces

If your living space is small and restrictive you will need to adopt the tricks of the interior design world to give the illusion of more space!

White is a classical example of maximising space by tricking the eye into thinking the space is larger than reality. Brushed steel and reflective surfaces are another trick used as the light is bounced around the room which again provides the illusion of more space.

Many people place a mirror on a chimney breast as older houses typically have the window directly opposite the fireplace! Maximising the light by placing a mirror to catch as much natural light as possible has been adopted for many years!

White is also an ideal choice for kitchens and bathrooms as bright white has a clean, crisp look, especially when new! Be careful though otherwise your home could become an uninviting steely icy place which makes you feel cold! The easiest route and key is to add subtle touches of a vibrant warm colour such as red or orange.

Just select a few carefully placed objects of interest and add the finishing touches such as either a white or coloured roller blind to the window which will allow the maximum amount of light to enter the room when pulled or rolled up to the top of the window. Roller blinds are also ideal for lowering to a height which prevent glare from sunlight when working in the sink area, because just like older styled houses have windows opposite the fireplaces, they also have kitchen windows above the sink!

Villa Room Design in Netherlands

Villa Room Design in Netherlands

Architect Paul de Ruiter has designed a contemporary villa ‘Villa Room‘ design located in Rhenen, Netherlands. See the previous architectures design by paul de ruiter on Villa Berkel. The Villa Room residential architecture design concept was to allow the daily activities of the residents to form the main structure of the building. Designed in the year 2004 with 491 sqm constructed area, this villa room is arranged around an open space with a roof through which light can enter. The owner of this modern villa room which is an artist wanted a studio with a beautiful view of the garden and an exhibition space, a house that could be controlled, in relation to both the indoor climate and the degree of privacy. The result is a villa which, although providing space to sleep, eat, and live, does not have a traditional living room.

Luxury Bathrooms Designs Evolution

Luxury Bathrooms Designs Evolution

Master bathroom or luxury bathrooms today include at least a toilet, bidet, two sinks, separate tub and shower, whirlpool or spa and perhaps more. The vast windowless room is a testament to modern design; stone, steel, ceramic and wood combine in exciting ways to stimulate the tactile senses. Luxury bathroom design you can get the newly picked, garden-fresh flowers, elegant stylish polished marble and easygoing peaceable music at your own home which you have earlier wished for seeing them on the spas. On the entertainment front the TV and music system are very modish. The future of bathroom furniture is here, and it’s sleek, elegant, bold and cool.

In a luxury bathroom design you will find many different toilets, sinks, shower, cabinets, mirrors, hot tub and many other accessories of the toilet that will give the aura of a modern designed spa that will suit your lifestyle.

Twin Houses Design in Los Angeles CA

Twin Houses Design in Los Angeles CA

Twin Houses Design in Los Angeles CA

This modern concrete architectural homes design of two Twin Houses was projected by Predock Frane Architects. The Two Twin Houses residential design is located in in the Palisades, a hilly region between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains, within an existing 1950’s housing development.

This residential project design consists of two twin houses sited adjacent to each other on a steep slope above a seasonal watershed. In this project we were interested in exploring the intersection of two classic California building typologies: the courtyard house and the hillside house. This intersection was then further complicated by the overlay of two unsynchronized jurisdictional height envelope parameters that very explicitly controlled the volumetric limits of the structures.

The building program was extensive relative to total city allowances, so we started by intersecting the two envelopes, and then pierced this volume with two courtyards, altering the hillside typology into a hillside/courtyard hybrid.

This typological hybrid “corrected” certain shortcomings in the hillside prototype. The central courtyard creates a large protected outdoor living space secluded from direct engagement with adjacent properties. The main courtyard and adjacent courtyard/recesses pierce the entire volume of the house creating light shafts to rooms typically “buried” in the hillside and further expanding direct access to grounded exterior spaces.

Materially the exteriors of the houses are clad in 12? wide cedar plank. The exterior surfaces are rough cut, transitioning to smooth finishes on the interior surfaces. The windows and the interiors of the courtyards are smooth, white, light reflective surfaces to further transmit light deep into the house.

McDonald’s UK Restaurant Interior Designs

This cool contemporary restaurant interior design was projected by london based design firm SHH for various McDonald’s restaurant locations around England. European McDonald’s restaurants have been updating their interiors to a more modern and contemporary design in over the past few years, and it’s interesting to see the results because everyone around the world can relate to what a McDonald’s usually looks like. In the new interiors, the typical (and uncomfortable) fixed plastic seating is gone, and instead we’re seeing upholstered banquettes, wood tables, and hanging lamps.
