I think it is really fascinating to look into the homes of the rich and famous, as they have all the means to create the perfect home. This time we will take a look into actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s Long Island home. So here we go:

*

*

This is our actress in her gorgeous living room. Gwyneth obviously like her home light and classic with pops of pastels. On a side note, I adore her dress!

Here is another view of the living room. The cool blue sofas are balanced with warm  pops of fuchsia.

*

This staircase in very simple and modern, but the wallpaper adds a warmer more “liveable” atmosphere than if it was left white.

*

Gwyneth has pale floors all over her home.

*

This dining room is the epitome of simple romantic design. The Swarovski blossom chandelier is available here for those of you who can afford it. It is $27,350.00.

This is Gwyneth’s daughter Apple’s bedroom. In keeping with the rest of the house, this bedroom is light and airy, with splashes of fuchsia for a girly princess look.

The kitchen has matte black cabinets and beige tiling.

Two white chandeliers adds a bit of glamour over the kitchen island, and makes a great contrast to the black cabinets.

The black wallcovering in this bathroom is designed by Kelly Wearstler and is available here.

Remember this post I did a while ago on hidden fireplaces? Well, here is what the rest of Interior Designer Kelly Giesen’s beautiful apartment looks like. The thing I love about Kelly’s home is all the clever ways to hide what you don’t use!

*

This dreamy white bedroom is covered in an ultra feminine cream pearl wallpaper. Behind the beautiful mirrored doors of the corner closet…

*

.. Is a home office! This tiny space is also the home of the sound system, pretty wrapping papers and design books.

*

Here is the beautiful mantle which has a built-in TV behind the custom mirrored screen door.

*

The kitchen and dining area. Kelly’s counter tops are white marble, and she exchanged the glass in the middle cabinet door for mirror. She also installed an antique door in front of her kitchen cabinet. The dining area to the left is so pretty.

*

And here is a quick view of the living room. I would love to see more of that entry door, it looks spectacular!

*

This white living room has completely mirrored walls and polished white marble floors.

*

The dining area is in open plan solution to the living room area.

*

The bedroom is white too, with a black iron canopy bed. Love the mirror!

*

Another view of the bedroom. What a view!

Lets take a look at Kensington House in London, designed by SHH Architects & Designers. This is an award-winning six storey building, with a color palette based on creams and off-white:

*

The living area is huge, divided into a lot of smaller spaces. My favorite feature is the ultra thin white curtains . I love the fact that they cover not only the window, but the entire wall. See how it softens everything up, eliminating any sharp borders and lines, and softening the natural light.

*

There are differently shaped sofas and recliners, with the common factor being color and soft “flowing” shapes. The round smoky glass top table is seen throughout the huge room,  in both coffee- and side table versions.

*

Classic crystal chandeliers is modernized with smoky plexi glass cylinders. Nice!

*

Jaw-dropping gorgeousness.

*

The master bedroom is all-white too, with the largest white headboard I have ever seen!

*

A single spotlight in the ceiling lights up the mirrored desk. Check out the multiple chandeliers.

*

Beautiful chairs too..

*

Detailed view of the chandelier. If you look closely, it is not a whole chandelier, but individual pieces mounted in the ceiling, constituting a whole chandelier!

I will admit it, I am one of those people who can’t stand the look of a television in the living room. I don’t even have a TV, and consider myself to be a bit TV-phobic. It’s just the way everything is arranged around the TV that really bother me, like its an altar. For this reason, I decided to do a hide-your-TV series of posts, where we look at different ways to hide, disguise or even blend the TV into the interior. Only rule is that it has to look good!

First up is this incredibly gorgeous TV-in-the-fireplace solution in the home of Interior Designer Kelly Giesen:

*

Kelly built her TV into the fireplace in her living room.

*

How gorgeous is that?

*

She did the same thing in her bedroom too, and this is what it looks like before the TV is in place..

*

When not watching, Kelly covers her TV up with a regular fireplace screen that is fitted with plexi mirrors.

*

I think Kelly’s home is one of the prettiest I have ever come across. It’s so light, classic and tasteful. Photos borrowed from Apartment Therapy and Kelly’s own blog. Make sure to visit Kelly G Designs 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.

*

If you haven’t had enough, you can see more designs like these on Brad Ford’s site here!

*

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!

*

*

Gorgeous all-white romantic country style dining room, with little hints of pink. I think the classic chairs painted white and upholstered in lace fabric are just gorgeous. The double chandelier setup is quite dramatic.

*

Cream and white living room with classic seating furniture and multiple round tables. I think all the fresh flowers really add to this romantic decorating style.

*

Decorate your stairway with old mirror frames pained white; all shapes and sizes.

*

Pay attention to the curtains…

*

Fun idea, no? More great designs at Eileen Boyd’s site!

This summer house is an eye candy explosion of pretty pastels. Combinations of white with pink, blue and yellow are the seen throughout this home.

*

The darling pink, white and blue living room. This is patterns done good! The sofa has the largest pattern, containing all three colors of the room. From here, the colors and patterns radiate throughout the room.

*

White, yellow and blue lounge. Takes a lot of courage to buy a yellow sofa with large sailboat pattern..

*

The beautiful white, pink and blue patio. Complete with anchors and lobsters.

*

A nautical themed entry, with polished compass floor and a globe map table. Even the stair rail is a lighthouse!

*

Blue, white and pink nautical bedroom. Very creative bedside tables I must say!

*

White, blue pink AND yellow dining room.

*

Take a look at those seashell dinner plates!
