Built-In Home Office Ideas by Paul Raff Studio
Sometimes you can’t avoid bringing work home with you, but with an elegant home office like this one, you might not mind the daily grind. These interesting built-in home office ideas by Paul Raff Studio based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada make great use of often-overlooked space, putting the areas under the staircase and on the wall to work. Tucked under the stairs, a desk offers intimacy and privacy in this vast, triple-height open-concept living space. A system of wall cabinets offers plenty of storage space for files, books and computer equipment, all hidden neatly away behind anthracite-painted cabinet doors. Behind the doors you’ll also find a stockpile of firewood to feed the built-in high-efficiency wood-burning stove. Oh, and did we mention there’s also an integrated cocktail bar?

Take a stroll after dinner and walk over your very own indoor bridge: The perfect indoor adventure for the romantic at heart. Bear your soul to your loved one in this dreamy recreational and entertainment area byCeramiche Ricchetti that is all at once modern and nostalgic. The room is surrounded by a grey stone wall that has a cavernous and gothic appeal, and an almost church like serenity. The dark ceiling could be oppressive in this oval room; however, it is directly opposed by the neutral, sandy flooring, which significantly lightens up the space. The floor is made of Milestone Beige fine porcelain stoneware and adds the right amount of subtle pattern against the natural stone wall. The indoor bridge is clearly the central point of this design, and is kept very simple with varnished wood slats, yet is also sleek with the silver railings. Tall modern columns polish off the look of contemporary versus medieval, and add that grandiose quality that makes the space so attractive.

If you want to give your living room that “magazine” look, the key is in stylish and smart storage solutions, like the Pari & Dispari units by Italian furniture company Presotto Italia. We love this functional feature, disguised by stone-style panels. Behind closed doors, you’ll find your TV, ready to watch at a moment’s notice; your stereo, CDs and DVDs and cables, books, magazines, glassware – all the comforts of home. These storage solutions also come as exposed systems, if you like to show off your collections. Suited to large, small and even awkward spaces, these modular storage units are built to your specifications. These stone-looking facades meet ultra-modern, high-gloss lacquered glass for an unusual yet totally cool combination.

Designed by Jordi Vayreda, this welcoming home in shades of gray, green and pink used to be a two level industrial building. Luckily, it recently went to a complete make-over and now it looks like a vivid and playful crib. It is amazing how adding a little color can completely turn around the way a home feels. This was probably what the designers had in mind when filling this place up with colorful decorating elements such as fluffy pillows on the floor, small rugs and tiny rustic containers. Due to the white background, these items stand out and create a visually pleasant contrast. The living room, dining room and kitchen are connected not only physically, but design-wise also. We like how this home seems to be decorated by respecting a fun pattern, one that involves color and youthfulness

Sometimes it’s not the scenery that wins you over, but the modifications you bring to your home to make it more appealing. Located in Melbourne, Australia, the Barrow House has been designed by Andrew Maynard with an arrangement of timber boxes that create a stylish variety of shapes to get the eye.

The naturally sloping site inspired the idea of a focal stair core wrapped by private areas and topped by a dramatic skylight, bathing the interiors in natural light and forming a direct link between through the private spaces on the entry level and the upper-level public spaces. The central stair core also creates a strong vertical wall on the exterior, resulting in a composition quite different than the typical horizontal layering of living spaces. The corner location and internal organization of space created an exterior expression that broke free of horizontal restraints to create a blend of horizontal and vertical lines, punctuated by a strong cantilevered roof

Here are several ideas on creating a sport center interior, as the third largest fitness club operator in the United States, Town Sports International (TSI) recently relocated its corporate headquarters to Eighth Avenue in New York City. Gensler created a flexible, transparent and actively branded workplace setting for TSI's staff and executives. Replacing the original height perimeter windows and maintaining a 14-foot ceiling height reduced heat loads on the building's mechanical system. Sustainable materials and flexible elements such as movable glass walls were used throughout the project. --

Decorating a modern living room always be a great and fun project, here are several collection of modern home design series on designing a living room from
houstohome. On the first picture, there is a striking style living room, stripes don't have to be colourful to make an impact. Here, wide stripes in grey, black and white work with the dark-painted woodwork to create a sophisticated feel. Bright colours look great set against black and white, and this lime-green leather seat makes a real statement.
Union Jack-themed accessories are a great way of creating a retro-60s look without having to spend money on new furniture. Here, leather chairs and pouffes complete the look. Artwork propped on the mantelpiece, rather than hung above it, creates a relaxed look, while vertical radiators and chrome lighting maintain a slightly more contemporary feel.
Here, wall-mounted marble creates a dramatic feature wall. There is no need for pictures on the wall, as the marble makes such an impact. This works well because the fire itself is such a dramatic design. A quirky lamp and modular sofa echo this contemporary feel.
In an open plan living area, a low-backed sofa is a good choice as it doesn't block the view from one end of the space to the other. In this contemporary scheme, neutrals and white are punctuated by gold in the form of the cushions on the sofa and the dining chairs, which draws the whole scheme together.
