So if your bathroom faucets are out of date and looks vintage, the best solution is to improve and enhance the look with some touch faucets.These kind of faucets run with the latest touch technology.This type of faucet is very useful and very high in technology.All you want to do is to put your hands on the spout to activate and touch once again your hand to deactivate.

Histoire Round Bed

by Stefan, posted in Design And Concept, on August 21st, 2009

Histoire Round Bed is specially designed by an Italian brand Prealpi, for luxurious people with the taste of perfection. This elegant bed is available in Wenghe and Light Oak finishes. The size of the bed is 86.6W x 95D x 11H, te size of the mattress is 81.8 Round and the headboard size is 24 inches. The fabric colors available for the Headboard are Red, Dark Brown, Blue or Beige.The spatiality of this bed is that it can rotate electrically. The cost of this bed starts from $8,050.

I must admit this bed looks amazing and it is so nicely made from the aesthetic point of view. It gives a whole new vision and feature to the whole room and it adds a lot of style and class to the room design. However, I can’t help wondering just how comfortable this bed can be since it is round and if the people sleeping there are a bit taller than the average. In my opinion it is perfect for the living room more than for the bedroom, to be used like a sofa, for watching a movie and getting cosy in the cosy bed that rotates automatically. It can impress an audience and a new girlfriend, but I don’t see it as a double bed.{found on spacify}

Blairgowrie Court Residence

by Stefan, posted in Architecture, on August 21st, 2009

There are many words that can describe this impressive residence, but we can only use a few . Designed by Australian architect Frank Macchia, this modern home has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and tons of unique style. It seems Macchia’s creative mind had a lot of fun playing with space and shape. Most of his projects are residential homes and this is no exception.

This is a house in Brighton, Victoria, on Australian land. It is spectacular thanks to the designer’s unique way of combining architecture and home design, of playing with shapes and shadows.

The house has huge windows that give to the terrace, allowing light to come in at all times, as light is very important for a home. And we can see that there are a lot of lights inside the house meant to be lit during the night and value the house in all its beauty. The lights are placed in the right spots that advantage the design of the rooms best. The combination of expensive stone for the facade and the wood used for flooring the house is very inspired and the whole house breathes freedom. The whole space seems open and even the rooms are hardly bordered.

The bedroom is open and so is the living room and the impression of luxury appears from all the pictures. The indoor pool and the artificial waterfall only come to prove what I have just said. In conclusion, a really cool residence with a lot of good taste from architecture to furniture and design.

Modern Okitu house by Pete Bossley

by Stefan, posted in Architecture, on August 21st, 2009

Here is a house and a location which many people dream. The Okitu House designed by Pete Bossley is located on a ridge above the east coast with spectacular views from Poverty Bay right round to Tatapouri Point in New Zealand.

Pretty funny to build such a fine house in a place called Poverty. But this house is designed by Peter Bossley with the purpose of being rented by tourists. That is why it offers accommodation and all the comfort you might need and also offers a great view on the sea.

The house lies on the ground and stretches from the hill to the side of the ocean and is perfect for both a family with kids and for a young romantic couple, offering everything you could possibly want. It has only the ground floor but that is enough because the design and architecture are great. The building has the shape of the letter “T” and the part that is closest to the ocean is protected against waves and winds by a huge glass wall. It is the dream house to shelter you against all evil things.

LED video floors for your entertainment

by Stefan, posted in Design And Concept, on August 20th, 2009

Forget the old laminate floor, nowadays you will be surprised that it is no longer a dream to make your thought a reality. Take for example, the video floors.You could watch a movie or have a home theater in a media room. I think it is a good idea for the future, as it may or not be very effective in your movie watching experience, but will definitely help you set the right mood for your entertainment.

I also think it is a bit more appropriate to have these floors if you own a disco or a club, but everyone is free to have their own corner of entertainment of home and you can arrange a really nice karaoke club with LED video floors in your basement or even in your living room. It’s fun and your friends will certainly love to come visit you more often than they used to.{found on homeqn }

Three new printed tile collections by Levitiles

by Stefan, posted in Design And Concept, on August 20th, 2009

Tile has been coming back into style over the last decade or so. Tile is being used on kitchen floors, back splashes and in other areas of homes. Levitiles created 3 new tile collections especially for architects and interior designers.The “Metals” collection brings luxury to your modern bathroom with its reflective surfaces reminiscent of gold, silver and copper. The “Precious Stones” collection dazzles with rich, monochrome jewel tones and textured surfaces.And the last “Reliefs” collection is the ultimate in touchable tile. Glass reflects light in its textured surfaces.

The three collections of tiles from Levitiles offer quite unique features of the tiles. For example the tiles belonging to “Precious stones” collection are very well designed so as to have smooth but scratchy surfaces that make them similar with the precious stones. Also their colour is very important because it is carefully chosen so as to be very close to the colour of the precious stone they want to imitate. But they have many shades of the same colour on the same tile in order to obtain this effect.

The Metal collection is very different in comparison because the tiles in this collection have glossy and reflective surfaces that makes them similar to metals. They try to be like the copper , gold or silver they are recommended to be used for large spaces in luxury homes.{found on Levitiles}

Customizable lamp shade by Park Woo Sung

by Stefan, posted in Lighting, on August 20th, 2009

Here is a modern modular lamp design which is available in a range of cool hues like red, purple, green, blue, orange and white, these translucent lamps let the light shine through while adding color to your rooms. Created by Korean designer Park Woo Sung and modeled on traditional Korean curves.

The idea for this interesting and unusual lamp shade is taken from the kids block games that allow them to build things out of blocks by placing one block on top of each other, each time you add one black obtaining a different shape. This lamp shade is made of plastic and each layer of molded plastic you add, the size and shape of your lamp shade changes and the light that is filtered out changes, too. Be your own designer and get the shade you want by combining stripes of different colours according to your own pattern and imagination.
