Though looking at the interior picture it doesn’t look like a house built in 1964, that’s when the renowned architect Neave Brown built it. Part of a five houses terrace in Dartmouth Park, London, where the community means everything, the three-storey building has two bedrooms - one of them with direct access to the gardens, a shower room and a utility room at the ground floor. On the first floor there is an entrance hall, a bathroom, an 8 sqm terrace with a view over the gardens and newly installed kitchen. There’s also the second floor with a master bedroom and a 19 ft reception that offers a stunning view over the outside gardens.

The think that doesn’t attract me very much is the staircase. Is it just me or that thing is so tight that you should have more than two glasses of wine? However the most stunning thing is the way this house blends with the outside scenery. Everything is natural and well contrasted. The new owners of the house had worked with engineering firm Max Fordham to get the new systems up so that they don’t ruin the original design. Located on Winscombe Street in London, the house is for sale for £925,000.

If you were to ask me what my dream home would look like, the answer would be modern, minimalist, with lots of space and with a nice view over the beach or maybe over the woods. I’m not sure if the Vivendelstien house in Norway is close to a beach or a mountain but I do know it’s close to what I would expect when it comes to interior design.

Designed by Norwegian architect Tommie Wilhelmsen this house won’t impress you with its exterior, but will do it as soon as you enter the front door with its interior. A warm “gigantic” living space that puts the white in contrast with little things like the ottomans, the colorful pillows, the couch or the relaxing looking chairs. If you ask me, the guy managed to get the best harmony possible. 

So if you wanted an amazing idea for a modern bathroom, here it is.This design is quite unique and if you want to have something like this you’ll need some serious space. The rectangular shape of the Aura bath from Jacuzzi gives it an exotic feel, as does the black rim that puts the idea of a piece of exquisite lacquerware in mind. Decking allows the bathtub to be recessed and creates a dramatic touch… The ascent to the decked platform on which the bath is mounted gives a sense of ritual, and cares melt away as you slip into the water. Stark black open shelving provides a sophisticated and inclusive divider from the bedroom. In conclusion a great place where you can recharge your batteries, meditate or have a romantic date after a hard day of work.

It has been known for centuries that light and color have a positive effect on body and soul, and when used in conjunction with water they have an even more intense deep relaxation effect ( we spoke in a previous post about Room Color and How it Affects your Mood ).  This is exactly what this calming bathroom that easily adjusts to your mood can do for you. Light is key to this design, with the Kaldewei LED spotlights that can change color by a touch of a button, allowing you to choose the color that best represents your mood.

The lighting systems and the individual spectral light combinations are operated with a gentle push of a button on a control panel on the rim of the bath so the desired effect can develop to its full potential in the course of a relaxed bath. And those who do not want to limit themselves to a particular colour can simply opt for the automatic colour spectrum which starts a fascinating show of the various colours and lighting effects.

We have featured different kinds of pool tables before - design variations on the classic rectangular pool table.  But never before a round pool table!  The lack of angles means no nasty corners to bump into. One immediately obvious advantage is the space saving feature for those who love to have company over to shoot some pool but don’t have the room for the rectangular sort.

The custom made pool table is the brainchild of JM Billiard Co. They make these in different diameters - 6,7,8 feet. You can choose from over 30 cloth colours and any type of material for your pool table. Wood, laminate, metal etc. They even suggest a fish tank at the bottom if you wish!  But most people would find the options for a poker table or dining table top a more useful choice! - Via
