World-Inspired Living Space with Black Floors Ideas and Designs
KCreative InteriorsThey say the magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave and even better to come back and that is exactly what this family wanted to create when they purchased their Bondi home and prepared to renovate. Like Marilyn Monroe, this 1920’s Californian-style bungalow was born with the bone structure to be a great beauty. From the outset, it was important the design reflect their personal journey as individuals along with celebrating their journey as a family. Using a limited colour palette of white walls and black floors, a minimalist canvas was created to tell their story. Sentimental accents captured from holiday photographs, cherished books, artwork and various pieces collected over the years from their travels added the layers and dimension to the home. Architrave sides in the hallway and cutout reveals were painted in high-gloss black adding contrast and depth to the space. Bathroom renovations followed the black a white theme incorporating black marble with white vein accents and exotic greenery was used throughout the home – both inside and out, adding a lushness reminiscent of time spent in the tropics. Like this family, this home has grown with a 3rd stage now in production - watch this space for more...

HIR studioTailored material palette manifests the residents' love for black and white; And inspired by materiality of a courtyard in an exotic retreat, the new design is an exemplary interplay of monochromatic and contrasting texture, with tints of greens and light brass. Shades vary from ceramic tiles, stones, timber-veins, to hand-crafted plastering, silk-like upholstery, further adorned by soft rugs and fabrics in wool, and vivacious greenery. Hard and soft textures blend in, and the repertoire is jazzed up by the family's collections, featuring a petrified wood sculpture, and a porcelain vase, which shimmer with a sense of history as well as a Chinese blessing.

Mariana MartiniUna casa a Eindhoven - Olanda per una coppia italo-brasiliana che mancava la tropicalità Brasiliana ma anche Milano dove hanno vissuto per un paio di anni. Abbiamo portato il blu del cielo visto che in Olanda ci sono tanti giorni grigi. Poi tante piante tropicali all'interno per il mood.

HIR studio" Living room is similar to the courtyard in a Moroccan Riad "
All main spaces in the apartment are demarcated by floating light coves, outlining the ambiences with diffused up-lights.
At the heart of the flat, the living room is haloed by a black light cove, which contrasts the white ceiling as stark as a courtyard under sunlight. The whole family gather here to chat on couches, to watch tv, to play with kids on the carpet, or to share a pot of tea in the breeze. The couch sits on a wool-woven orange rug, complemented by a metallic coffee table and some plushy ottomans. The bookshelves behind create a niche in the middle, where the wall is plastered in hand-crafted texture, and is adorned with a royal-green Chinese-styled cabinet collected by the owners.
