This is one of the prettiest facades I have ever seen! So simple and pretty, yet so detailed and interesting.
*
A cream white kitchen with gray mosaic tiles. I wonder what the counter tops are made from?
*
Very tall and slim design.
*
Cream kitchen dining area. Lots of windows lets in huge amounts of natural sunlight.
*
Beautiful cream and white dining room.
*
Marble bathroom with white marble bath tub and counters.

Lets sneak a peek into a gorgeous mediterranean home:
*
Dramatic foyer with pilars and a seating area. The walls are a creamy shade of beige throughout the house, with dark stained wood furniture and tall indoor palms.
*
Here is another view of this lovely seating area. Rich brown carpet with crisp white sofa. Looks very fresh and clean.
*
I’m already in love with the fabric on these dining chairs.
*
The cozy living room. Love the diamond pattern on the sisal carpet. Looks like one window is turned into a mini library!
*
Sisal carpet on the patio seating area too. More hot fabric patterns and colors, but where is the “coffee” table? lol!
*
Rustic kitchen with raw bricks and heavy wood counters. I have noticed that despite the style of kitchen, there are always the stainless steel appliances.
*
The tub is built into a corner, with a pilar on each side. Now that’s fancy!
*
Lovely details. That carved lamp is so pretty..
*
Back to where we started, the foryer. This staircase is spectacular!
*
The interior design is all by Wendy Richens of Richens Design, go check out her site here!
Lets take a look at some light, modern designs by Brad Ford:
*
This white dining room has dark hardwood floors and window frames. The light dining table with the black chairs make a great contrast. One thing I really notice in this dining room is the repeating small square shape of the windows and the chair backs..
*
A bit of color is injected into the living room area, with green sofas and pink throw pillows. The cream leather ottoman works as a coffee table as well as extra seating.
*
This white kitchen is clean, simple and modern with polished marble counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
*

Interior Designer Sara Story shows you a new way to set color to your home. Leave the walls white while you paint the ceiling and floor!
*
A long narrow room like this kitchen is perfect for some ceiling color. But the deep purple ceiling aside, check out the gorgeous painted pattern on the hardwood floors!
*
(nice lamp!)
*
This long and narrow hallway has a yellow painted ceiling. Check out the dot pattern outlining the gray walls!
*
Another hallway. That bold patterned wallpaper is hot!

The way Interior Designer Janie Hirsch often use one color scheme throughout a whole house, really fascinate me! If you don’t remember the gorgeous blue home we looked at before, you can see it here. This time she has used a soft shade of yellow which she has combined with both white and dark stained wood:
*
Classic dining room with chandelier and a bouquet of white tulips.
*
The kitchen is very modern with stainless steel appliances.
*
But further into the room is the classic styles kitchen dining area. Cute blinds.
*
The living room is in an open plan solution with the kitchen as far as I can tell. Take a look at that mirror!
*
Even the bedroom is yellow. Bedroom idea: hang a curtain behind the bed to create a draped fond wall. And instead of a bench at the end of your bed, why not place you desk?
*
You can see the rest of the photos from this all-yellow home at Janie Hirsch’s website!
This modern retro style loft apartment is designed by Interior Designer Lori Dennis. The Living room has a feature wall and ceiling of raw concrete and bare pipes. I love how Lori has worked this industrial look into the design instead of covering it up and painting the walls. You can click the pics for a larger view:
*
Brown suede sofa and two cream Barcelona chairs. Can you believe this chair was designed in 1929?
*
Very simple and uncluttered. I adore oversized plants!
*
The mix of patterns makes all the difference. Anyone know the artist behind that beautiful painting? The crystal table lamp is available here.
*
Modern white kitchen. If you look closely to the left, you can see she has planted orchids in apothecary jars, what a great idea! Mini terrarium.
*
Modern white bedroom. That bed is hot!
*
I think the pillow fabric is beautiful! Do you like it?
*
A floor vase with palm leafs bring the green into the bedroom too.
*

Modern teen bedroom in white, black and blue. Now, lets imagine this bedroom without the bold patterns, it would be like any other room, right? I love clever designs like these!
*
Check it out! Even the notice board is covered with a funky blue pattern, it reminds me of those optical illusion pictures (can you see what it is?).
*
White, blue and brown living room. Clean lines for a modern look. Love those chairs! And if you can see it, a glass coffee table. Another optical illusion? lol
*
A super sleek and modern kitchen in white, contrasted by dark wooden cabinets. Nice shiny floor!
*
And to top it of, a white dining room with lovely dark hardwood floors. Nice table and chairs!

I am absolutely enamoured with this home designed by Janie Hirsch:
*
Light blue and white living room with sisal rug. Look at all the classic furniture pieces and beautiful artwork. Janie definitely use contrasts to add depth to a room.
*
Janie is a real talent when it comes to lighting, notice how all the artworks are illuminated in a way that they stand out as individual pieces, and at the same time binds the room together. This is very well illustrated in the top pic too.
*
It is so impressing to me when a home is designed in one simple color theme, like here with light blue and white, and yet all the rooms are so different. Behind the living room you can see the kitchen and dining area. See how the different curtains separates the room into two “zones”.
*
Just gorgeous! That ceiling lamp is so pretty with the beads on the cable.
*
Divine dining room with sheer brown curtains. Notice how Janie always hangs the curtains immediately under the ceiling, emphasizing the height of the room. Also, she often opt for two chandeliers over a dining table instead of one, that way you can decorate the wall behind with a large mirror or painting, and use one tall centerpiece on the dining table. The beams on the ceiling adds a third dimention to this room, read this great article about it on Things That Inspire!!
*
Going for black cabinets in the kitchen is such a bold and creative choise!
*
The focal point of this bedroom is definitely the super tall padded headboard.
*
Stunning bathroom with more than enough lighting. I love how she mounted the sconces on the mirror! Not everyone has artwork overt the tub either.
*

*
This kitchen has the perfect balance between simple surfaces and gorgeous details! Black walls with white trim and cabinets.
*
Cafe latte walls with white trim and rich brown furniture in this super cozy living room.
*
This stairway is just fantastic! Love the dark wood steps and white railing, not to mention the chandelier.
*
Rich brown bedroom with white trim makes a super cozy atmosphere.
*
Old pink and white girls bedroom. I love a kid’s room which doesn’t need a total renovation every couple of years.
*
Beautiful brown bathroom with built-in tub.
*
View more photos from this gorgeous home here! I think the language in the page is Dutch (correct me if I’m wrong) and I can’t read it, but I’m pretty sure Mi Casa is a Belgian architect firm? Whatever they are doing, it looks absolutely fantastic!
I really love these makeovers performed by Judith Balis of Nest Instinctual interior:

Living room After:

Working from a clean slate, this classic cream walled room is given a modern look with dark hardwood floors, turquoise walls and white trimmings. For this style be sure to mix pieces from different eras, like modern black and white striped sofa with hot pink Victorian chairs. I love how the fire place brick were painted black.
