Today, looking at its rivulets of silver frosted with white, this ceramic tile reminds me of a snow-blanketed skating rink. Of course, after the predicted blizzard sweeps through tomorrow, I might not think of the lovely Chromium tile in such cordial terms, but that won't change the fact it is an exquisite design. unicaceramiche.com.

It doesn’t only look and feel cool, an outdoor kitchen might give you additional cooking options like BBQ, grill, or a wood fire pizza oven. Modern outdoor kitchens also come inseparable from greenery that can, too, help you enhance your recipe book.

I recently shared tips from real estate firm Trulia on updating your kitchen for resale. Here are their insights on doing the same for your bathroom. For most Americans, the master bathroom is a cherished area, where homeowners yearn for the chicest amenities. Not only are they popular renovation projects from a personal standpoint, but bathroom remodels continue to be one of the best investments for a homeowner; however, they don’t come without a hefty price tag.

Get the look: Reverse patterns. Black and white patterns are classic. Usually the black design is etched on a white background. Accordingly it’s much less common that we see the reverse. Why not try it? The result brings a slight edginess to your space. This is the kind of drama we love! For example, consider our popular Cluny cement tile. This beautiful swirling design is very popular.

Architectural design studio YoDezeen created a dark apartment in Kiev as if to demonstrate how luxurious dark tones can look. Seemingly spacious, the place features an open plan bedroom, glass partitioned shower, and panoramic windows. Thanks to these design tricks, the main room, that consists of mainly living room and a small dining area, looks enormous, even though the eating zone is separated from the big zone with an open shelving.

Most of us have a travel bucket list. We long to travel to faraway locales, and immerse ourselves in places that are exciting and different.

Architect Shamsudin Kerimov designed this Moscow apartment in the spirit of the best luxury penthouses. Neutral tones, lavish materials, and refined balance are at the core of the project. The open layout of the apartment allows to keep all the areas in one coherent style. The living zone stands somewhat separately, though, thanks to a sectional sofa that creates a barrier between a TV wall and a dining table.

Living room storage isn’t something many people think long and hard about or even consider. But it just makes sense, especially if your living quarters are lacking spare space.

This is a no ordinary small apartment. Boasting quite a few square feet in its area, the modern home enjoys an open layout designed in the most contemporary style. Daniele Petteno Architecture Workshop made sure this small London apartment didn’t have the same problem (or rather a disadvantage) that all the others do – lack of light. In the living room, the two big windows offer plenty of daylight exposure, but since the room is quite long, the kitchen on the opposite side would su

Despite its assertive teal and brick-red palette, I see this room as a suggestion of a kitchen, rather than a Kitchen with a capital K. The stainless steel acts like a shadow in the room, not so much reflecting light but helping to define it. While distinctive, the cabinets, appliances, and light fixtures step back visually, letting the architecture dominate. uda.it.
