Black and Gray Decor Spiced With Hot Red Accents & Lush Terrariums

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 14:45:00 +0000

Black and gray home decor, spiced with hot red accents, makes a sleek and edgy look that leaves a lasting impression. In this inspirational black, gray, and red home interior, visualized by Dasha K, bright accents are incorporated through statement lighting and throw pillows in the sophisticated living space. The warm accent takes a turn in the bathroom, where it morphs into a coral hue that colors distinctive bathroom basins. The color-saturated pieces energize the home with exciting pops of interest. Wood tone components expand upon the visual warmth in the shape of modern wall paneling, a walnut kitchen, and a wild headboard feature wall. Indoor plants elevate the aesthetic, filling large terrariums and mini courtyards.

In the shadowy gray and black living room decor scheme, a modern floor lamp stands out with a vivid red stem.

The red floor lamp leans over the gray living room sofa, where it’s complemented by a couple of matching red scatter cushions. The TV wall is a textural triumph of dramatic black rock. Atmospheric light creeps out from behind the TV mount and trickles between the contours of the stone.

A modern black side table wraps the edge of the gray couch, keeping drinks and snacks close to hand while watching TV.

An ottoman coffee table fits into the sectional sofa arrangement, creating a break in the backrest. The low segment gives the furniture layout an open flow.

The back of the living room is enlivened with a large terrarium, which houses an abundance of indoor plants. The green plants make strong contrast with the red decor accents and give the home interior a lush and uplifting aesthetic.

A mini courtyard is planted at the base of a spectacular modern staircase. Mature shrubs stand tall under the gray stone treads.

The eye-catching staircase design is precisely lit with LED ribbons, fitted at the base of each riser.

Orb floor lamps make mood lighting amongst the courtyard plants.

A smoked glass wall offers a tinted view of the garage and the cars parked there. Clear glass balustrades leave the viewpoint unhindered.

The living room includes an open plan formal dining room and kitchen. A black dining table and chairs contrast darkly against the light wood flooring.

Clear glass dining room pendant lights make an attractive trio along the length of the rectangular dining table.

A long kitchen island divides the room, separating the eating area from the culinary space.

Black bar stools seat four people at the large kitchen island. Muted red pendant lights create a tumbling focal point of color above.

Full-height walnut units cover one whole wall of the kitchen, making warm contrast with cool gray base cabinets and gray stone countertops.

The master bedroom has a tropical retreat aesthetic. A custom-built terrarium filled with palm plants makes a lush headboard feature and a picturesque perimeter. Unique bedroom pendant lights drop in front of the headboard terrarium to achieve a bright, layered look.

The bedroom pendant lights fall low to a pair of stylish modern nightstands, which are upholstered to match the gray platform bed.

A black end of bed bench darkly punctuates the bedroom furniture arrangement with an elliptical silhouette.

A bedroom reading nook is fashioned beside the window.

The reading nook is furnished with a comfortable chair with ottoman set and a sleek modern floor lamp.

The master bedroom suite includes a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. Dark gray and black decor prevails in this space, along with warming wood accents. A wooden dressing table fits across the window, where natural light aids makeup application at the vanity mirror.

The vanity chair matches the dining chairs, so that it can be utilized for extra dinner guests when needed.

Walnut units are fitted on one wall of the walk in wardrobe and a comprehensive open closet system covers the other.

An island of drawers stands at the center of the walk-in wardrobe. Small accessories are stored and displayed under its glass top.

A second walk-in closet features a narrower island with a similar accessories station. This closet has no window, so a custom-cut mirror is installed to expand the sense of light and space, as well as for checking one’s appearance.

Thin LED ribbons illuminate the clothing rails and garment shelves. Shoe storage trays are lit from above to aid selection.

An incredible rock feature wall dominates the black and gray bathroom scheme. A black bathtub is placed in front, accessorized with a black faucet and a matching floating toiletries shelf.

The accent color in the bathroom shifts to a rich shade of coral. Two unusual coral basins disrupt a black stone vanity unit.

The bespoke double sink bathroom vanity unit crosses the full width of the bathroom, striking a dark line across the floor-to-ceiling window.

Tensioned vanity mirrors are installed in front of the window glass, where a bed of white pebbles provides light relief from the dark decor scheme.

The border of white pebbles draws around the bathroom perimeter in an L-shape, ending behind the bathtub.

Indoor plants grow from the stone-lined floor.

Full-height storage units hide away obligatory bathroom supplies, leaving the room tranquil and luxurious. Narrow shelving towers display a few choice items on either side of a black vertical radiator.

Clean towels stack neatly on the end of the lengthy floating vanity unit.

The powder room is a theatrical black box, spliced with lush green terrariums.

Four Fresh Living Room Looks With Marble And Wood Decor

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 14:45:00 +0000

The marble and wood decor combo can look classic, luxurious, uber-trendy, or even minimal when styled accordingly. These four inspirational living room designs show you how. Accompanied by gold decor accents and architectural arches, we’ll see how marble and wood elements build a sophisticated living space with neoclassical essence. We’ll tour a living room with a high-end aesthetic, where marble and wood construct statement designer furniture pieces. The fashionable materials palette creates a contemporary splash in our third featured home design, alongside extraordinary 3D wall tiles, unusual lounge furniture, and attention-grabbing art. We wrap things up with a pared-back open layout, where wood and marble meet minimalism.

Visualizer: Viktoriya Romanova

We kick off our first tour with a mesmerizing focal wall design. A highly-reflective gold panel dissolves into the beige wall stucco, creating a juxtaposition of glamor and decay. See more inspiration for using gold accents in interior design.

Wood flooring lays down a rich base for the pale decor scheme. A large area rug and an L-shaped sofa compartmentalize the open-plan lounge and dining room combo. A round pouf punctuates the seating arrangement.

The white marble coffee table has an extraordinary folded effect, which showcases its dramatic veining. A smaller table nests alongside it in a contrasting tone.

Arched windows give this home an elegant neoclassical essence. Modern wall lights strike black accents between the windows and on the fireplace wall. See more ideas for incorporating arches into home design.

The living room focal wall features a unique chimney breast construction, which extrudes in a graceful, layered format. Razor-sharp floating shelves cut across the alcoves at either side, displaying a minimalist array of decorative items.

Behind the sitting area, there is a formal dining space. A large dining room chandelier contrasts darkly with the beige dining set and pale gold feature wall.

Pillar candles create an atmospheric dining table centerpiece.

Visualizer: Artem Aleynikov

In this compact high-end living room, a “folded” marble coffee table design is complemented by a curved sofa. Wooden Chandigarh and Kangeroo chairs by Pierre Jeanneret complete a U-shaped seating plan.

A black floor lamp ties in with the marble coffee table’s dark vein. A living room rug adds a layer of pattern on top of dark wood flooring.

Living room wall decor creates a 3D effect above the bouclé sofa. An inverted arch vase continues the curved theme set by the sofa and coffee table.

Indoor plants bring a flourish of greenery into the beige scheme.

A round wooden dining table is teamed with a globe dining room pendant light. The paper shade relaxes the formal look.

A wide archway leads openly into the kitchen.

Deeply veined marble constructs the center of a stunning kitchen island and an equally striking backsplash. See more ideas for marble kitchens.

Solid wood kitchen cabinets underline the marble backsplash. A matching wooden console unit furnishes the neighboring living space.

An art plinth places a marble accent in the corner of the room.

A black decorative vase tops the white marble plinth with an eye-catching silhouette.

Visualizer: VIIV Studio

This uber-trendy living room features a cool sofa design with stacked cylindrical volumes. In this decor scheme, a much lighter shade of wood tone softly supports the attention-grabbing white marble elements.

The curves of the modern sofa are counteracted by the sharp lines of a square marble coffee table.

A sensational TV feature wall is constructed with 3D tiles. A custom-made console shelf smoothly underlines the undulating texture. Line art supplies another strong statement on the adjoining wall.

A small wooden dining set is paired with an oversized dining room pendant light to create a whimsical scene.

The marble kitchen island merges with a sleek white breakfast bar extension.

An induction hob is set into the marble island so that the cook can face into the room while preparing meals.

Geometric vases create a fashionable centerpiece.

Visualizer: Emo Space

This minimalist home has a light and breezy living room layout.

A round coffee table and side table set make a sculptural arrangement in the center of the lounge.

The sofa backs onto a long kitchen island. A glass splash guard protects the couch upholstery from the kitchen faucet.

A wooden accent chair is seated by the TV wall, where it makes warm contrast with gray wall cladding and a white media console unit.

The kitchen design combines warm wood and cool white marble elements to construct a pleasing tonal balance.

Smooth wood panels clad the formal dining area. A white marble door frame adds a brief, luxe design feature. White dining chairs contrast the modern wood dining table.

One wall of wood paneling conceals hidden storage units. A recessed column of shelving cuts through the run of wood tone with a fresh white finish. The shelves hold drinking glasses and alcohol next to the eating area.

The other wood-clad wall backs a set of floating wooden book ledges. A concrete console unit holds more books underneath.

Large-format, light-reflective floor tiles make the space appear large and bright.

A single bar stool is seated at the kitchen island, where a quick meal for one can be enjoyed in front of the TV. See more options for wooden bar stools.

The white marble backsplash climbs the kitchen ceiling to achieve a seamless look.

The marble countertop wraps the kitchen island in a waterfall effect.

A wood-clad ceiling cozily caps the home entryway.

The marble-encased doorway creates a grand entrance into the main living space.

51 Home Bar Ideas To Serve Happy Hour With Style

Wed, 31 May 2023 14:45:00 +0000

Having a home bar is a fun way to entertain guests or unwind after a long day. But before you get started, it’s important to understand the differences between a wet bar and a dry bar. As the name suggests, a wet bar has a water supply and drain, which is handy for cleaning up messes and refilling ice trays. A sink is handy but you’ll need the help of a plumber for installation. A dry bar is an easy DIY option for storing alcohol and glassware but you’ll need to pop to the kitchen for your H2O. The choice is yours! Here are 51 home bar ideas to serve happy hour with style.

Designer: YZDA | Yoshida + Zanon Design Atrium
