Neo Art Decó Style Apartment In Paris By Oscar Lucien Ono

With an ultra-elegant and timeless Neo Art Decó Style, the designer Oscar Lucien Ono from ‘Maison Numéro 20’ signs the renovation of this apartment in Paris. A few meters from the Arc de Triomphe, this apartment endless visual surprises thanks to the intervention of the Maison Numéro 20 studio. Oscar Lucien Ono has reflected many Neo Art Decó Style references in the interior. He plays with the classical Haussmann-style codes.  As a result, the atmosphere created is stylish and elegant, thanks to the selection of valuable and timeless materials. The wood Macassar ebony is combined with alabaster, bronze, brass, silk, velvet, and leather. In all areas, the mirrors give a feeling of greater depth.  The references to the neo art deco style are visible from the entrance. The geometric shapes and the contrasts between the black and white marble evoke luxury. The black lines allow the delimitation of the different spaces. This feature is also reflected in various details of the curtains, cushions, and rugs. In this way, it is possible to create a visual coherence throughout the apartment. The graphic motifs and the harmony between the tones – mainly gray, beige, and white – also link the spaces. What gives personality to the apartment is the large glass element that separates the dining room and the kitchen. With its geometric shapes, it has the presence of pictorial work.  Custom-designed, the headboard in the master bedroom visually recalls this piece. Across the floor, Oscar Lucien Ono managed to create a dialogue between the sculptural furniture. So, it brings together a brass table designed by Maison Numéro 20, metal chairs by Pouenat, armchairs by Atelier 55. Also, a pedestal table conceived by Hélène Paoli, an armchair created by François Champsaur, and a coffee table by Florence Girette. The gold carpets refer to the paintings of the artist Cécile Gauneau. At the same time, the marble lamps by Pierre Chareau, the ebony wood stool from the MCDE gallery, and the screen with colors reminiscent of the 30s evoke even more art deco aesthetics.  Various references to animals are found throughout the Cyril Guernieri gallery works. To complement this fantastic visual universe, the white chair was designed by Maison Numéro 20 in the spirit of the creations of Pierre Paulin, while the large plaster sculpture of Philippe Valentin gives a fantastic touch that evokes Cocteau. The 160 square meters of this Parisian apartment offer a surprising and refined journey that transports you to another world and another era – Neo Art Decó Style.  We really hope you liked our article.

Studio Arthur Casas Rethinks Gil Borsoi Modernist Building

MW Apartment represents two generations of Brazilian architects. First, modernist architect Acácio Gil Borsoi designs a building in northeast Brazil. Then, from 2019 to 2021, Studio Arthur Casas rethinks the modernist building for a couple and their one daughter. Among the breathtaking landscape of Recife, MW Apartment flows into the sea. The sea is the focal point of Gil Borsio’s modernist building. Studio Arthur Casas highlights the landscape in MW Apartment. As a matter of fact, it is the sea that endures privacy to the open space area of the house. Studio Arthur Casas reserves smaller rooms for intimate areas, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets. The open space area of the modernist building designed by Gil Borsio shelters the living room, the dining room, and the terrace with modern outdoor furniture to enjoy al fresco meals. These three areas follow each other, one after another, flowing until the blue horizon of the Atlantic. MW APARTMENT BY STUDIO ARTHUR CASAS MW Apartment by Studio Arthur Casas is a top floor neighboring the sea. To design a comfortable and efficient home, the architecture studio took these natural features into account. As a result, Arthur Casas chooses cold and resistant building materials, such as terrazzo flooring, cement-painted walls, and canela wood panels. The rethinking of this Brazilian mid-century modern building originally designed by Acácio Gil Borsio was challenging when designing high ceilings and distributing social areas. Due to the beams of the building, the rearranged space now includes three bedrooms, an office, a kitchen with a breakfast area, and a combined open-plan living, dining, and terrace space.  At MW Apartment, the office was thought especially to accommodate the owner’s extensive photography collection.  The social areas become golden when the sunlight touched the canela wood panels and the vintage and modern furniture in brown hues. It creates a cozy and romantic atmosphere, something that Studio Arthur Casas mimics with the talented hand of Maneco Quideré, one of the most respected Brazilian lighting designers. In addition to this residential project, Maneco Quidaré has designed lighting for recognized theater and concerts productions. The characteristics of the building’s structure, namely the parallel walls, are highlighted with wood panels, rectangular windows, and wood shelves and benches. In this manner, Studio Arthur Casas elongates the modernist building with an illusion of continuous straight lines. Nevertheless, most of the vintage design’s curvy furniture breach the straightness of the MW Apartment, creating contouring and dynamism. Additionally, folklore decorative elements with curvy and irregular shapes provide a sense of movement. Simultaneously, it honors the endogenous culture of northeast Brazil.

Mid-Century Modern Apartment in Manhattan Full of Textures

A mid-century modern apartment in Manhattan features vintage and contemporary. At first glance, the apartment looks like the 1970s home – curvy lines, wood, and warm /neutral) colors. However, soon we realize the contemporary flair of the furnishings and finishes. This mid-century modern apartment is a work from Timothy Godbold. Raised in Australia, the talented designer currently works mainly in New York, after living for a short time in London. The interiors of Timothy Godbold are special. Even though he started his design career as a fashion designer (designing for Ralph Lauren, for instance), he soon dedicated his talent to residential living, pulling off exquisite residences on top and exclusive locations. His fashion background gives Timothy Godbold a deep comprehension of textures, patterns, and visual perception. As a kid in the 1970s, Godbold would watch Space: 1999, a British sci-fi series that shaped his aesthetic comprehension of the world. In Manhattan, the designer shows off his talent to mix styles and textures and the influence of the powerful collision of past, present, and future. HOW DOES TIMOTHY GODBOLD CREATE A MID-CENTURY MODERN APARTMENT IN MANHATTAN? WOOD PANELING In this mid-century modern apartment, Timothy Godbold panels the curvy walls with wood. It is a warm hue, convincing enough to make anyone travel back in time, directly to the 1970s. This is actually one of the biggest fixtures of this mid-century modern apartment in Manhattan since the ribbed paneling creates a unique visual texture that involves the entire house. MIXED MATERIALS Since Timothy Godbold uses a neutral color palette for this modern house in Manhattan, the fashion and interior designer combines different physical textures to enrich the rooms of this luxury apartment. For instance, in the dining room, Godbold combines a contemporary stainless steel suspension lamp with a stunning travertine dining table and wood armchairs upholstered with fabric. Besides having the same color palette, each element brings a different texture to the room, stimulating the eyes of the beholder by giving a sense of depth, volume, and contrast. DIFFERENT FABRICS Timothy Godbold adorns the living room with modern and vintage furniture. But, again, the wood on the floor and the walls remind us that this luxury apartment in Manhattan is a contemporary reading of the 70s interior design style. CONTEMPORARY ART Nothing stimulates more the human mind than art, right? For that reason, Timothy Godbold decorates this apartment in Manhattan with large – and colorful – art pieces. While the wood paneling takes us to the 1970s, the contemporary art pieces remind us that the future is now – and it has neutral colors, modern luxury furniture, and seductive visual textures.

Get To Know This Unique Mansion In The Heart Of Paris

The current owners bought this unique mansion in the chic 16th arrondissement of Paris about eight years ago. They approached London-based interior architect Bryan O’Sullivan three years later. They asked him to renovate the mansion into a comfortable family home while retaining its golden charms. When O’Sullivan came on board, the owners had attempted unsuccessfully to kick-start the renovation many times. The traditional rooms were still in place, but many of the original details had been stripped out. The floors and plumbing were not of great quality, but it was still an amazing canvas to O’Sullivan work with. The interior expert’s first rule was to guarantee that any architectural interventions stayed true to the original building. “We did not want to mess with such a masterpiece of a house, we wanted it to feel authentic.” So, O’Sullivan and his team performed extensive research into period details. He found inspiration for the new decorative stucco, stair runners, stone floors, and Versailles parquetry flooring, as well as the lighter boards of the chevron parquet on the top floor. O’Sullivan drew on the talents of independent artisans. They include Irish stonemasons, Belgian timber specialists, British furniture makers, French gilders, ironmongers, painters, and polishers. New structural additions included arched-fanlight doors to divide the dining room and grand salon from the main entrance hall. More natural light floods through a skylight and top floor lightwell down into the gallery on the first floor. “Before, it was an underwhelming space. Now, it feels kind of wow.” That same wow factor also comes from the impressive scale of the rooms. With his impressive architectural history, O’Sullivan was the perfect man for this job. Having worked with primary architects, including Annabelle Selldorf in New York and Luis Laplace in Paris, and interior designers David Collins and Martin Brudnizki in London, O’Sullivan founded his eponymous practice in 2013. Today, he has projects traversing high-end residential projects. From New York to Ibiza, superyachts, and destinations such as Ballynahinch Castle Hotel in Galway, Ireland, and The Tamburlaine Hotel Cambridge, UK. This unique mansion mixes traditional and Louis XV-style sconces with vibrantly patterned marble fireplaces, Fortuny pendant lamps, and curvy sofas. Italian floor lamps and shell-shaped cocktail chairs from the 1950s team with contemporary woven leather, wool-and-raffia rugs by Toyine Sellers, and 19th-century antiques sourced from London’s decorative-arts fairs and the Marché aux Puces Paris. Giacometti-inspired chandeliers in the dining room and hallways provide a modern contrast to the ornate black-and-gilded wrought-iron balustrades. Bedrooms showcase unique bespoke pieces, such as fluted headboards and a walnut bed inspired by mid-century architect Jules Leleu. “I try to hide televisions as much as I can – they are my absolute pet hate,” says O’Sullivan. The result is a house that feels grand but not intimidating. “Nothing feels too far away or disconnected,” says O’Sullivan. “What we tried to do was balance the house’s past with the right contemporary mix of color, texture, and playfulness. In this way, the owners felt instantly at home.” We really hope you liked our article. Feel free to pin all the images to your favorite Pinterest board.

A Manhattan Apartment That Brings A Vibrant Design From Mexico

With its heady use of color and vibrant design, this home designed by Studio Reutov Design is a celebration of life.“The abundance of color in this apartment fills the air with the smell of flowers. Makes it tasty not just for the eyes, but also for life,” says Dmitry Reutov, chief designer, Studio Reutov Design. Located in Manhattan, the current owners of this early 20th-century apartment decided to renovate the 592-square-feet space. The richly-hued apartment designed by Reutov indeed brings to life the flavors of the tropics, in particular, Mexico. The designer was inspired by all things Mexican – the hues of the rugged landscape and the traditional architectural elements with bright colors – to convey the feeling of the southern sun. Drawing from Mexico’s cheery and vibrant design, the apartment features pink terracotta walls and a profusion of rich greens inspired by nature. The home is interspersed with cacti of different shapes and sizes and features a column inspired by the plant. For Reutov, the idea of using elements from the natural landscape has a larger purpose. “While nature creates a truly extraordinary design by skilfully combining textures, colors, and shapes, it also teaches us to co-exist with it in harmony.” The living room is a plush, cozy space characterized by the signature Roche Bobois Bubble sofa and pouf. Reutov has designed the custom coffee table in concrete and copper. The lights in the living room are by Michael Anastassiades. In the seating area, the dining table with a marble top and glass base is a custom design by Reutov, whereas the chairs are by Kartell. Large cactus planters frame the room along with the corners that create a distinct look. The kitchen features a material palette of terrazzo, plastic, and metal. A metal structure coated with copper achieves a dual purpose – apart from protecting the walls from water and grease, it also adds a decorative element to space. The cantilevered counter is minimalistic save for the ornamentation via clusters of small vases. In the bedroom, chic, unfinished textures rule. The bed made of old timber has a distressed finish. Whereas the open shelving behind the bed is covered with plaster reminiscent of the old plasters used in Mexico and Morocco. Both sides of the shelving feature cacti. The hanging lamp on one side of the bed is made of pink clay, whereas the wallpaper is handmade. Predominantly featuring mint-dyed concrete the bathroom also finds room for handmade Callico wallpaper mainly designed for wet areas. The Eccentrico sink by Falper features marble and copper, and the lamps in the space are again by Michael Anastassiades. In contrast, the mirror is the Amber model by Kartell by Laufen.

This Contemporary Apartment Use Colours To Create An Illusion Of Space

La Macchina, an Italian studio based in Rome, transformed this small 800-square-feet home from the 50s into a contemporary apartment with surprise in every corner. Influenced by cinema, music, painting, and illustrations, the co-founders of La Macchina Studio – Gianni Puri and Enrica Siracusa – decided to design this tiny contemporary apartment with plenty of imagination. They looked to creatives to completely reinvent this apartment in the heart of the Appio Latino built in the 50s. The owners are a young couple who wanted a contemporary and cheerful home. With the help of local artisans, the architects introduced new materials such as Botticino marble and micro-cement. They combine them with colorful accents, such as the arched blue door in the living space and the yellow curtains. For Gianni and Enrica, creating theatrical spaces is essential, and that is exactly what they did with this stunning apartment. The duo craves magic in everyday life. These surreal design elements highlight not only the architectural features of the home, but through a carefully considered play of colorful contrasts, graphic motifs, and unexpected elements, create the illusion of a space much grander. Its tiny size notwithstanding, the home is a treasure trove of iconic design. A Tulip table by Eero Saarinen, Mariolina chairs by Enzo Mari, Divano Goto sofa by Disegno Doppio, Colonna stool by Ettorre Sottsass, Componibili coffee table by Anna Castelli Ferrieri and Cirque lamp by Louis Poulsen, are some of the pieces that take pride of place in the home.

Eight 3D Artists That Blur The Lines Between Imagination and Reality

A growing digital community of 3D artists is creating fantastical visions which suggest interesting possibilities for the future of design and promise dreamy escapes. These playful environments were particularly seductive during a pandemic when physical and emotional freedoms were unimaginably curtailed. Nevertheless, while they might seem purely hedonistic, these visions are also part of a wider movement in design, one which seeks to reassert the primacy of nature. This new art suggests that design might work better in the future, with greater harmony between our built environment and the world beyond. Big brands are taking notice, too: here are eight 3D artists names making waves. ALEXIS CHRISTODOULOU Cape Town artist Alexis Christodoulou is proof that 3D art is a democratizing force in design. A professional copywriter, he taught himself 3D rendering as a hobby and now has the tech, furniture, and cosmetics brands vying for his attention. His interest stemmed from the video games he played as a child, which he found stylistically lacking; instead, he has inspired by David Chipperfield buildings and Aldo Rossi drawings. His work combines all the architectural movements I find fascinating, but I also look to the cinema, photography, and the natural world. For him, it is about escapism. The furniture elements add a touch of reality to something that’s otherwise surreal. Follow: @teaaalexis BENJAMIN GUEDJ Parisian Benjamin Guedj started out studying graphic design but quickly outgrew the medium. “I was frustrated by 2D,” he says, “so I started exploring 3D and never looked back. I have always been fascinated by hyper-realistic 3D renderings.” Graphics continue to inspire him, though, especially if they feature minimalist shapes and striking color palettes. You can also detect the influence of 1960s architecture in his work, “with its smooth shapes and lines.” Guedj has collaborated with Apple, and he is a co-founder of the boutique hotel brand Grand Numéro, which has properties in Madrid, Nepal, and Morocco. Perhaps it is this experience with real spaces that gives his images their atmospheric feel. Follow: @oursroux BENOIT CHALLAND This sunlit pink palace is a typically uplifting work by Lyon artist Benoit Challand, whose background is in art direction. He has made films about luxury watches for Chanel and still-life imagery for Louis Vuitton. Benoit has a whimsical side, indulged when creating fantasy landscapes based on Monopoly games for McDonald’s or an imaginary ecosphere for Nissan’s electric car, the Leaf. He likes to twist simple ideas into unexpected visions. Colour is important in his work, as is nature – he tries to evoke quiet places with a sense of freedom. Posting his work on Instagram and seeing the responses flood in gives him an immediate sense of reward. He appreciates the impact such platforms can have in popularising technology and thinks they will shape its future direction. Follow: @benoitchalland CHARLOTTE TAYLOR This London artist’s interest in 3D technology started at college – she has BAs in design from Goldsmiths University and Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts. The 1970s and 80s interiors inspire Taylor, but like many 3D artists, she sees her work as essentially playful. Indeed, she likes to explore the concept of impossible and even “illegal” spaces. Her soon-to-launch creative agency, Maison de Sable, is already discussing collaborations with furniture and product designers. “Brands are turning to 3D more and more, whether for backdrops for fashion shoots or digitalized events,” she reflects. “Designers are also realizing that it is an economical, sustainable, and time-efficient way to trial products.” Follow: @charlottetaylr DANIEL MEDINA There is a surreal quality to Daniel Medina’s work that stems from his love of art – in particular, Salvador Dalí, Edward Hopper, and David Hockney, as well as his grandfather, a painter. Born in the Canary Islands but now living in the British city of Bristol, Medina discovered 3D technology as an architecture student. He loved it because it had no limits. Since then, he has created artwork for Sony and animations for Adidas and describes his designs as “imaginative and playful, driven by exploring the unexpected.” Lately, he has been inspired by his homeland, creating scenes featuring volcanoes and seascapes alongside colorful furniture. Follow: @danielmedina3d NAREG TAIMOORIAN This Iranian-born designer creates furniture, interiors, set designs, and 3D art, which he came to from an unusual angle. He studied civil engineering in Iran, followed by a master’s in structural design. Early roles in the engineering industry led him towards 3D rendering technology, which he could use to further his creative ambitions. Now living in LA, Taimoorian counts interior decorator Kelly Wearstler among his clients and creates deceptively realistic 3D imagery. “My style is modern, colorful, calm, and dreamy,” he says. “I like to combine interior and exterior spaces in such a way that you can hardly separate one from the other.” Follow: @nareg_taimoorian SIX N.FIVE STUDIO Founded by graphic designer Ezequiel Pini in 2014, this Barcelona studio counts Microsoft, Apple, and Cassina. Pini has watched the possibilities of 3D design mushroom over the past decade. When they first started, it was almost impossible to imagine how things are now – they were considered users of a tool more than artists or designers. Now, it is seen as a mode of expression. Pini’s five-strong team is influenced by fashion, architecture, and industrial design and creates imagery that he describes as “visual mind-trips.” “Our style is meditative, utopian, and sometimes provocative,” he adds. “Sometimes we show the sun or moon, or even our interpretation of a planet that has not yet been discovered. We’re inviting the viewer to jump in and feel themselves to be part of the scene.” Follow: @sixnfive STEFANO GIACOMELLO Does your dream home combine Modernist furniture with big skies and a perfect beach? Step into the world of Montreal designer Stefano Giacomello, who collaborated with artist Charlotte Taylor on this heavenly poolside scene. Giacomello studied interior design in Barcelona and Rome and has created immersive environments for Comme des Garçons. He started making 3D art as an Instagram sideline about a year ago

Pinault Collection: Bouroullec’s lighting project for the Bourse de Commerce

Bourse de Commerce, the museum housing the Pinault collection in Paris, opened its doors to the public on January 23, 2021. The project, which was first announced in 2017, saw the city’s former stock exchange transformed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando into a museum for businessman and art collector françois Pinault. Bourse de Commerce was originally set to open in September 2020, but the date was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have filled with light the entrance, the monumental stairs, and the restaurant. The project, commissioned by François Pinault, conceived in dialogue with Jean-Jacques Aillagon and Martin Bethenod, and manufactured by Flos Bespoke, expresses the power of a dialogue between architecture and design and history and contemporary times, developed with delicacy and respect thanks to unique technical know-how. The design challenges: a dialogue with architecture and the creation of an atmosphere The dialogue with architecture, both ancient and modern, and the creation of an atmosphere, its history, and its contents. These were the central nodes on which Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec lighting project was developed. “We did not have to illuminate the exhibition spaces but passage areas,” explains the designers. “The stairs and the entrance hall, and the restaurant. This is why we focused on the design of light in its relationship with what it illuminates but also on the scenic presence of the sources when there is no artificial light: during the day when visitors flood the space”. The entrance hall: a floating and vibrant light The special response was a Horizontal Light for the entrance hall: an interlocking structure composed of five tubular elements of glass and aluminum measuring six meters each and parallelly positioned. The Horizontal Lights are installations suspended from the ceiling above the entrance in a groupage of five. Each glass cylinder was made in Murano with cast glass technology and had a simple but also “organic” shape. The result they wanted to achieve was precise but at the same time fluctuating and vibrant, just like the space that welcomes it. The final effect is very delicate but with a high aesthetic impact. The staircase: a monumental but delicate atmosphere For the attentive observer, the situation changes in the two stairways on the sides of the entrance, lit by five suspended Vertical Lights connected in a pentagon, and for the spectacular staircase C, formed by two spiral staircases that intersect, where Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec positioned three Vertical Lights arranged in a triangle. The monumentality is guaranteed by the light that marks the huge space between the ceiling and the ground floor, covering it all with its 17 meters in length. The ability to move around the chandeliers allows visitors to enjoy their qualities from multiple points of view. “Observed from below, the installation is delicate, almost transparent, and ethereal. As you go up, its powerful physical presence is progressively affirmed”, they explain. The restaurant: the precision of contemporary times Even in the restaurant, an area of contemporary design that lacks confrontation with period architecture, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec kept the dialogue between opposites alive. “In the restaurant, we partly used the invention of vertical light but also set up the individual tables with simple, nice lamps, which rest on a wrought iron base and work with a small, very soft, rechargeable light source.” Flos and Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec: innovation that is built over time Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have been researching suspended lighting structures with Flos for years. To manufacture the impressive luminaires that set up the Bourse de Commerce, the designers entrusted Flos Bespoke. «Flos Bespoke was our partner in the development of these large luminaires. Furthermore, as in any project we develop together, thanks to their extraordinary technical skills, we were gradually able to solve the problems that this complex project presented us with and to put mutual inventiveness to good use”.

Learn How To Decorate An Apartment So It Looks Bigger Than It Actually Is – II

Welcome to part two of how to decorate an apartment, so it looks bigger than it is; if you have not read part one, do it here. We saw in part I that with a few simple design and storage tricks, you can maximize every square foot of your home. Contrary to what you might think, living in a small space does not mean just settling in and letting go. There are several excellent solutions and tips you can put into practice. HOMMÉS Studio brings you some workable tips to ensure that your home decoration gives your smaller space, a larger space to move around in. Choose your window coverings prudently Ideally, use subtle blinds or shutters, do not choose heavy curtains as they will close off the space too much. Subtle blinds or shades will let in light without compromising the space. Choose soft curtains To decorate an apartment, ensure they reach all the way to the floor to give the illusion of length, and go with neutral, natural fabrics that blend in with the wall colors or the palette of the room. Select furniture with legs Rather than going straight to the floor, you want your furniture to be lean and mean. That means choosing stools with thinner legs and steering clear of bulky sofas with hidden legs. Decorate your walls with neutral hues This one might sound obvious, but neutrals on the wall will bring light into any room and give the illusion of space, even when there is not much. Use a room divider to create the feel of more space in your apartment Room dividers can be a brilliant way of adding the feel of more rooms without actually having them. They are also incredibly elegant and can act as an intriguing statement piece. Do not forget the outside space If you have a balcony, keep the furniture simple and sleek to not take up too much space. Wrought iron chairs or woven materials are a good place to start. This is especially important if the balcony can be viewed from inside the house, as it acts as an extension of the interior. We really hope you liked our article.

Learn How To Decorate An Apartment So It Looks Bigger Than It Actually Is

Many people wonder how to decorate an apartment so that it looks bigger than it really is. HOMMÉS Studio brings you some workable tips to ensure that your home decoration gives your smaller space, a larger space to move around in. For most people, living in an apartment is relatively unavoidable. Whether in high-rise apartment buildings or tiny houses, many people find themselves looking for clever solutions to make the most of a small space. Furthermore, while space may be tight, there are many things to be found in living in smaller spaces, including cost. Nevertheless, it is always good to give the illusion of more space when it comes to decorate an apartment, even when you are working with less than 50 square feet. Choose shelves instead of bookcases Bookcases are bulky and add unnecessary space. If you can, use floating shelves. They are a chic way to display books and ornaments. If you cannot hang on your walls, go for bookcases with thin edges or metal frames, so they blend in as much as possible with the surrounds. Use Mirrors Mirrors will add instant space and do all the hard work for you. Put them wherever possible! Utilize any nooks or hallways  Unused space is a complete no in an apartment. Utilize any hallways or nooks by adding something in the wall hanging. It could be a simple painting or a piece of furniture. It will give the blank canvas a purpose and create the feeling of more interior zones. Large artwork makes the wall look bigger A trick of the eye, mounting large artworks on smaller walls can make them look bigger. If you would prefer to hang lots of artwork, scatter it throughout the house instead of lumping it all on one wall. It will keep things feeling fresh and open. Pull furniture away from the wall Removing furniture from the fringes of the room will give the entire space a facelift. However, this trick is most effective when your furniture is smaller than it would need to be pushed against a wall. For example, choose a two-seater couch instead of a two-and-a-half-seater couch because when pulled away from the wall, it will look more proportioned and not bulky. Use, where possible, glass Coffee tables or even dining tables are a great way to incorporate glass into a room, which instantly frees up space. Opt for a subtle table with a hint of glass to instantly create space. We really hope you liked our article. Feel free to pin all the images to your favourite Pinterest board.

Park Avenue Art-Filled Penthouse

In Park Avenue, NYC an art-filled penthouse is home to a modern art connoisseur and his impressive art collection. The penthouse, located in one of the most exclusive streets of New York City is an interior design project from London-based Nebihe Cihan Studio. In this residence on Park Avenue, artworks steal each room. The owner is a modern art connoisseur and the penthouse displays his impressive art collection. The penthouse is almost an art gallery, nailing it the intention of both owner and interior design studio. In order to highlight the contemporary art pieces, Nebihe Cihan Studio designed a minimal interior. The color palette is also minimal, with neutral colors expanding the privileged natural light inside the penthouse. In this manner, white, gray, and small appointments of black and brown are the predominant colors of this Park Avenue art-filled penthouse. Another Park Avenue residency worth to know is this project by Peter Pennoyer. Part of the owner’s art collection are sculptures by British artist Sir Tony Cragg and Richard Deacon, and paintings by Idris Khan.A contemporary neon installation by Welsh artist Cerith Wyn Evans adorns the hall. Again, proving that neon is essential in happy home decor. The penthouse located on Park Avenue has a breathtaking view over the skyline. This contemporary interior design project exhales elegance and calmness as well. Beauty, light, and proportion are the recipe for an outstanding art-gallery look-alike house.
