I wouldn't mind if this was my everyday setup. This is love. Love, I tell ya!
Lofts are a great way to practice the creative in you. Maximise your space by not using the space and creating an off area for all your needs. If you're not sure what color to use, start with ebony and ivory. You can never go wrong with black and white. Have fun designing!
Opt for a sliding door instead of French doors for your kitchen cabinets. Not only will it look great, but you can avoid hitting your head at one of the cabinet doors in case you forgot to close it.
A modern home vary from a design to another. One must only remember that it should stay true to the owner's design and your aesthetics. If in doubt, start with ebony and ivory then take it up from there. Not only will it look good, but you will be able to notice anything off in case you've placed something not in complement with the room.
A stairway doesn't have to be boring all the time. Sometimes, a little graphic design and sculpting can do just the trick and give you a jaw-dropping art in the comforts of your home.
Usually, fire place are place on the inside to keep the house warm and cozy. In this case, however, there's no harm in placing one outside for our beloved wild animals or just any creature looking for some warmth, really. If you're generous enough, why not open your home to them as well? They can only take so much cold.
Wooden designs and touches usually gives a rugged look to the surroundings and a more natural feeling. Upkeep, however, can be tricky so make sure to spray pesticides if it is real wood and if in case it is a sculpted cement, make sure to dust the details to preserve the texture of the design.

I just have to reblog this first before Ian. Do you remember your first pet? How about your pet? Or anyone's pet for that matter. This picture proves the essence of pet in our lives. It is not just there to make you happy. Or make you feel like you will always have someone by your side. It is there as a family. A part of you. And a part of your life. For those who own them, they are loved ones. Valued and Included in every single aspect of their lives. And it is just lovely to see this picture with the sense of family in it. And of course, in my case, I love cats! LOL.
This one is any bookworm's dream. And mine too!!!
This is fine. Seriously. My mind is filled with ideas now. And I rarely think. LOL.
This is sick! I mean it! I love this. Filer, Seat and Desk in One? What more could you ask for? I am so wanting this. A lot!
I need this. My room's too messy to begin with. I need this. It might just be able to help. Seriously.
Books and Shelves
Beyond bookcases and standard storage strategies, this entire (small) apartment space is lined from floor to ceiling and wall to wall with nooks, crannies and cubbies for every book, furnishing and decorative object you could possibly cram into such a cramped and cozy little home. Living room, dining room, bedroom and kitchen – no space is safe from these omnipresent slots lining every possible vertical surface.
Overhead and underfoot, the thickness of these walls has been expanded into the rooms of the abode to accommodate shelving at all heights and of standard and non-standard sizes alike. A few have hinged doors or are otherwise concealed but most remain open at all times, becoming part of the spaces they surround. No single picture (drawing, plan or photograph) can fully capture how dynamic this space really is (or how pervasive the shelving units inside it are).
Who needs to hang wall art or add other decor with these odd opening animate the interior spaces so much? Painted with black backgrounds against the plain white walls, these voids also serve to visually extend the sense of inside room to make this crowded apartment also feel somewhat larger. By wrapping around walls and corners, the signature shelving permeates the home but also connects one room to the next.
Not just for books and knick-knacks, these slots also hide entertainment system elements including speakers, a TV and other essentials for modern living. You can bet if there were stairs in this place there would be some stellar under-stair storage solutions in play too. As it stands, the niches, alcoves and cupboards that deck the halls and walls on all sides are overwhelming enough without adding a second floor into the (marvelously messy) mix. What remains to be seen is whether the designers of H20 Architects can go beyond this in a future design idea - whole-home bookcases seem the conceptual limit, but maybe the floors and ceilings should be fair game too?
