Interior Design husband and wife team Stephen and Gail  Huberman of SGH Interiors are behind these dramatically beautiful interiors:

*

All walls are painted a matte gray color with crisp white ceiling and dark hardwood floors. The end wall of this living room is devoted to displaying beautiful sculptural items on custom built shelves. Take a look at the beautiful Gothic style mirror over the fireplace, and the cowhide bench.

*

Using the same color as the walls on the shelves and other larger pieces like this beautiful wing chair, other items really stands out, like that console table. It looks like a half wheel with arrow spokes. Wish we could see the rest of it.

*

A folding wall with a blue and green landscape of trees is placed as a backdrop for what looks to be a staircase sculpture.

*

The “heavy” matte walls are repeatedly contrasted by tall transparent glass items such as candle sticks, vases and apothecary jars.  I really like the way this dining table is framed by the etageres.

*

Have you ever seen texture like this on a wall? Me neither!

*

Lovely reader Hilary so kindly requested a Moroccan theme post as inspiration for her bedroom makeover. Ask and you shall receive! My first thought off cause went to these dreamy interiors by Jeffers Design Group:

*

This tiny seating area is a feast for the eye with it’s great shapes, proportion and color. Hypnotizing!

*

The seating area is situated in a hallway in front of this staircase. I know the Moroccan style incorporates a lot of geometrical patterns and beautiful tiles, but I haven’t seen it combined into a beautiful hardwood floor like this before. And what do you think about the carpeting on the stairs? Looks like someone went up before and left a trail of rose petal for you to follow. Very inviting =)

*

This coral pink living room is topped off with a yellow ceiling and beige furniture. The furniture is pretty low set and simple in design, serving as the perfect backdrop for layering of pillows and fabrics of bright colors and beautiful pattern.

*

Those built in shelves!!

*

A simple but dramatic vignette with a mirror, two symmetrically arranged sculptures and a tray with silver tea service. The high gloss cabinet even has a tassel handle!

*

First thing you notice when walking through the door of this bedroom, apart from the fantastic door itself, has to be that ceiling.

*

Golden beige bedroom with every possible shade and hue of coral. Spicy hot colors!

*

View from the bed. There are so much detail here, even the lamp shades have beaded fringes.

*

I just could not leave this dressing room out.

*

When I think about Moroccan style interiors I think tassels, trays, big soft throw pillows and layering of hot fabrics. Oh yeah, the lanterns and incense too off cause!

San Francisco based interior design firm Coddington Design is behind these beautiful interiors:

*

Beautiful living room with a color palette of foggy light blue and creamy beige.  The scale and proportions in this room is great (pun not intended actually). Look at how tiny the coffee table comes out next to the tall furniture and high ceiling. Mounting straight curtains directly under the seiling helps too. These winged chairs suits my recent chair-upholstered-with-beautiful-pattern obsession perfectly! Do you think a TV screen is hiding in that cabinet? That would explain the size and placement.

*

The front of the chair is beige with deep buttoning, and the ceiling is the same color as the walls.

*

The built in shelves on each side of the fireplace are painted blue inside to make them more a part of the wall. Check out the mirrored front.

*

The soft feminine lines definitely gives this tiny work station a  “wow factor”.

*

And this dining room, with its blue walls and carpets, takes a dramatic turn with a rich brown (or is it green?) ceiling. This is one of my favorite color combos; Light blue, creams and green. Just like my living room! And don’t get me started on the dining chairs.. Nail head trim AND door knocker detail? Perfect!

*

I couldn’t resist featuring this cute nursery. Blue walls with old pink decor. Perfect for boy or girl!

*

And I wish we could see more of this super fresh bedroom. The reigning color of the year, turquoise always looks crispy clean when combined with white.

*

And since there are no other views of this room, we’ll zoom in on the details instead! Notice how many (barely) different shades of turquoise they fitted in here. And the inverted pattern color on the chair (right) is a great touch.

*

What is your strategy when it comes to the top of your tall china cabinet, shelf or bookcase? Do you regard it as a place to stash away your most unsightly possessions, or do you take advantage of this space to display your finest vase collection? The images below definitely represent the latter possibility:

*

Interior Designer Eddie Ross decorated the top of this china cabinet with beautiful vintage (-looking?) crystal cake stands. The visually light glassware makes a fantastic contrast to the heavy furniture. Almost like it is topped off with a warm breeze!

*

This home office was decorated by Anna Orfanides of Anna O Design. Just like Eddie, Anna vent for transparent glassware, but this time representing all sorts of peculiar shapes. I see at least one vacuum filtration flask and a separation flask. Let’s conclude that this is the office of a chemist.

*

Interior Designer Olga Adler decorated the top of this cabinet too. I love how she used three large objects. Simple, uncluttered and definitely stylish.

*

No one says you can’t bring in a bit (or a lot) of color. Color groupings like this catch your eye right away. Unless you are color blind.

*

Black & Spiro owner Anna Spiro decorated this tall cabinet to display a collection of beautiful blue and white ming-style vases.

*

Definitely cute!

*

Now tell me:

*

Ben Huckerby Design is behind these modern pin up chic interiors:

*

This living room gives me serous new years eve party vibes. It must be the black and white with the hints of metallic. Not to mention the champagne colored couch.

*

A closer look at the wall art. I wonder why it was not placed directly behind the sofa?

*

A very tall headboard padded with gray velour and purple teffeta throw pillows adds a bit of glam to this simple bedroom. Is it just me or is purple the ultimate color of glam?

*

Isn’t that Madonna in the print? You can order photography prints of your favorite stars here!

*

This hallway has a feature wall of black and silver wallpaper with framed Marilyn Monroe prints.

*

Black and silver (err.. steel) is also the color scheme in this ultra modern kitchen. What do you think of glossy kitchen cabinets? Very bold wallpaper indeed!

*

Before creating this website, I had a tiny file on my computer with my favorite interior pictures. That tiny file has grown into 500 files with 7000 images by the way. But I digress. Well, one of the pictures in that tiny file of mine was a smaller version of the pic below. Ever since then I have been in love with the print hanging over the sofa, but haven’t been able to find out anything about it. Yesterday as I was looking through the portfolio of Kwinter & Co Design, it turned up again, and now I am asking you if you happen to know anything about it?

*

And here it is.

*

Now let’s take a look at the rest of this gorgeous room. The living room is actually white with rich gray carpeting and a beige cowhide flower rug (available here). The wall behind the gray velour sofa is completely covered in mirrors. Nice glass coffee table too.

*

Side view. Black lamp shades are pretty and creates a good mood, but is not for lighting up, that’s for sure. But who cares when you have windows like that in the living room?

*

A folding screen is mounted on the wall as artwork behind a white cabinet.

*

Here is a closer look at the deep brown armchairs. Beautiful carvings and nailhead trim.

*

I came across these pictures of actress Molly Sims’ beautiful home on Luxist, and as I saw the kitchen photo, I remembered reading about this home on Interior designer Kiahani Perera’s blog. Kishani, one of my favorite designers, is in fact a good friend of our actress, and is behind Molly’s Hollywood Hills home, so let’s take a look:

(you can click the pics to see full size on Luxist)

*

Molly has a white house with beautiful black details. I really like the larger-than-life potted trees, very simple and dramatic.

*

This is Molly’s dining room. Like the facade, the walls are white and the floors and trim is black. The blue velvet dining chairs looks super soft and comfy.

*

On the other side of the fireplace wall is a living area.  Let us take a closer look:

*

Gray sofas with purple throw pillows and a glass chandelier to add a bit of glamour.

*

The kitchen is white with marble counter tops and brushed steel kitchen appliances.

*

I love how the glassware is arranged by color in the cabinet.

*

Isn’t this little girls room adorable?

*

This is definitely a room to grow up in.

*

This I presume is the master bedroom. It is  seafoam green and white, with a huge bed with nailhead trim. Love the pops of color brought in by the purple lampshades. This room was later painted a deep grey, which, according to Kishani “complrtely transformed the vibe of the space from beachy to moody”.

See the result on Kishani’s blog here.

*

The bathroom is white too.

*

Here is the second living room, with a flatscreen TV.

*

Last but not least is Molly’s home office. I have posted some images of this room before on this website, and here are some more:

*

The wall seems a lot more purple in these photos.

*

Here is the same office, revamped for a photo shoot for Molly Sims’ jewelry line.

*

And here is the beautiful actress in her equally beautiful home!

David Kaplan is the designer behind this beautiful home of blues and pinks:

*

This beautiful light blue living room is decorated very subtly paying close attention to pattern, texture and dimension.

*

I think this color palette is absolutely fantastic. The colors really play off of each other. Bright, but toned down.

*

Take a look at the different chairs on this room. Very sculptural.

*

David mixes a lot of metals and metal colors in this room. Just look at the coffee table with the gold picture frames. I really like how he painted the whole mantel the same color as the walls, and used a slightly deeper tone on the molding.

*

The dining area is the same wall color, it might possibly be an open plan solution with the living room. Even the window frames are blue. The black dining table is very visually heavy (and probably physically heavy too), but perfectly balanced out by very light feminine chairs and beautiful flowers and chandelier.

*

In open plan solutions I often notice wall paneling is used to define the living room, like in this one.

*

Beautiful dresser.

*

An accent wall in a stairway. Great idea to add some color and depth!

*

Today we’ll look at some beautiful designs by Caroline Edwards:

*

This beautiful living room is decorated in cream and beige. Take a look at those chairs. Reminds me of this chair by Mrs Howard Personal Shopper.

*

A closer look at the fireplace and seating area. Perfect symmetry, and the fireplace frames the pretty chandelier beautifully.

*

Beautiful home office. And do I detect another TV-in-mantel solution like this one?

*

Beautiful caramel colored bedroom. This is real eye candy (yes, that is my attempt at a pun.. lame I know)

*

Simple clean lines, but not bare and boring. Masculine with a feminine touch?

*

There is nothing masculine about this lovey dining area. Notice how only the two end chairs have arm rests. Nice detail.

*

Michael Partenio is the photographer behind these beautiful pictures (click images to see full size on Michael’s site):

*

Gray walls, white trim and area rugs against dark hardwood floors.  Check out the mega vignette on the bookshelf, half the sea is fitted in there!

*

Everything in this room is so.. wow!

*

This ottoman coffee table is spectacular!
