Beautiful ornaments are decorating the walls and ceilings in the living and dining rooms while beautiful 3D wall coverings enhance the bedroom and home office. Textured walls give the room an interesting look though should be used in spacious rooms rather than small places.
The Geometrix interior design includes some elements of Art Deco. Beautiful black leather chairs, luxurious materials and ornate furniture and accessories make it a great retro style abode. In some rooms the black and white color scheme balanced out with dark brown and cream. One of the bedrooms in the apartment features a column mosaic feature walls that reflects in the opposite mirrored wall.
The perfect way to jazz up the black and white interior design is to add neutrals like cream and brown. A variety of textures will also enhance a black and white decor. Also the pops of bright colors can be added with a vase of flowers or fruit as seen in Geometrix interior. The ornaments keep the interior design in one retro-inspired theme while glossy textures add a touch of polish and chic to the decor.

Creative Bathroom Design Ideas

 

Bathroom decor doesn’t have to be all about function. Besides aesthetic things can be functional too as well as vice versa so here are some ideas for a creative bathroom design. Unusual colors, materials and other design solutions will help look at the bathroom with new and fresh eyes. Before decorating think and choose the style you want in the bathroom. Do you want to make it look more room-like or hi-tech?

Color Scheme

The key decorating factor that will set the mood for the bathroom is, of course, the color scheme. Choosing interesting color mixes that will suit and convey the bathroom style is important. Look for interesting and uncommon hues in color palettes to achieve unique color scheme.

Unusual Bathtub

Unusual and creative bathtub will definitely give a whole new look to the bathroom since its the room’s main focal point. Free standing bathtubs are beautiful and can be very decorative. Many bathrooms with these bathtubs look very room-like and creative.

Wall & Floor Decor

Wall and floor decor can also bring in creativity to the bathroom design. Tiles come in a variety of colors and patterns and they are easy to wash and maintain. Wallpaper is a luxury for the bathroom but it can be seen in some beautiful bathroom designs.
Creative sinks and vanities, storage systems and lighting can also add to the bathroom creative design. Make sure the bathtub, sink and furniture match in style or nicely contrast and simply go well together.

Red Interior Design Ideas

Red is an intense color. So usually it is balanced by a neutral like pure white. Red and white interiors are quite popular. Red is also often used in accents. Though often used in living rooms red color schemes can also be seen in bedrooms and kitchens. If bright red is too active a color it can be replaced with coral red, pinkish red, or other muted red hue.

Red & Other Colors

Since red is a very energetic color it is often used in furniture and decorations but it can also be used in walls or one feature wall. Red makes great combinations with white, black, gray, orange, yellow, and beige. Red can be mixed with any of these colors in a wallpaper pattern, rugs, and furniture.

Red Accents

Red can make bold accents. The white or light-colored room makes the red especially stand out. The contrast is usually achieved by using red furniture against the white or cream walls. Gray or black can make a color scheme more interesting, but the interior can also benefit from orange, coral red, azure and purple.

Red Walls

Red walls can be overwhelming especially for smaller space. So red is often used in a feature wall or two walls in the room rather than all the walls. Red can also be mixed with other hues in a wallpaper pattern from floral to stripes to dilute the activeness of red with a more neutral tone.
