Our clients wanted to replace an existing suburban home with a modern house at the same Lexington address where they had lived for years. The structure the clients envisioned would complement their lives and integrate the interior of the home with the natural environment of their generous property. The sleek, angular home is still a respectful neighbor, especially in the evening, when warm light emanates from the expansive transparencies used to open the house to its surroundings. The home re-envisions the suburban neighborhood in which it stands, balancing relationship to the neighborhood with an updated aesthetic. The floor plan is arranged in a “T” shape which includes a two-story wing consisting of individual studies and bedrooms and a single-story common area. The two-story section is arranged with great fluidity between interior and exterior spaces and features generous exterior balconies. A staircase beautifully encased in glass stands as the linchpin between the two areas. The spacious, single-story common area extends from the stairwell and includes a living room and kitchen. A recessed wooden ceiling defines the living room area within the open plan space. Separating common from private spaces has served our clients well. As luck would have it, construction on the house was just finishing up as we entered the Covid lockdown of 2020. Since the studies in the two-story wing were physically and acoustically separate, zoom calls for work could carry on uninterrupted while life happened in the kitchen and living room spaces. The expansive panes of glass, outdoor balconies, and a broad deck along the living room provided our clients with a structured sense of continuity in their lives without compromising their commitment to aesthetically smart and beautiful design.

Fairfield - Modern Farmhouse

Visbeen Architects

Twelve leather wrapped chairs provide enough seating for a large family, or gathering of friends. Anchoring the rear of the main level is the screened in porch framed by square columns that match the style of those found at the front porch. Upstairs, there are a total of four separate sleeping chambers. The two bedrooms above the master suite share a bathroom, while the third bedroom to the rear features its own en suite. The fourth is a large bunkroom above the homes two-stall garage large enough to host an abundance of guests.

Living Room Design

Catherine Wilman Interiors

We loved transforming this one-bedroom apartment in Chelsea. The list of changes was pretty long, but included rewiring, replastering, taking down the kitchen wall to make the lounge open-plan and replacing the floor throughout the apartment with beautiful hardwood. It was important for the client to have a home office desk, so we decided on an L-shape sofa to make maximum use of the space. The large pendant light added drama and a focal point to the room. And the off-white colour palette provided a subtle backdrop for the art. You'll notice that either side of the fireplace we have mirrored the wall, gives the illusion of the room being larger and also boosts the light flooding into the room.

Beautiful calming colour schemes were implemented. New hardwood windows were painted in a gorgeous colour and the Bisque radiators sprayed in a like for like colour. New Electrics & Plumbing throughout the whole cottage as it was very old and dated. A modern Oak & Glass Staircase replaced the very dated aliminium spiral staircase. A total Renovation / Conversion of this pretty 16th Century Cottage, creating a wonderful light, open plan feel in what was once a very dark, dated cottage in the Cotswolds.

Metropolis Drafting and Construction Inc

A run down traditional 1960's home in the heart of the san Fernando valley area is a common site for home buyers in the area. so, what can you do with it you ask? A LOT! is our answer. Most first-time home buyers are on a budget when they need to remodel and we know how to maximize it. The entire exterior of the house was redone with #stucco over layer, some nice bright color for the front door to pop out and a modern garage door is a good add. the back yard gained a huge 400sq. outdoor living space with Composite Decking from Cali Bamboo and a fantastic insulated patio made from aluminum. The pool was redone with dark color pebble-tech for better temperature capture and the 0 maintenance of the material. Inside we used water resistance wide planks European oak look-a-like laminated flooring. the floor is continues throughout the entire home (except the bathrooms of course ? ). A gray/white and a touch of earth tones for the wall colors to bring some brightness to the house. The center focal point of the house is the transitional farmhouse kitchen with real reclaimed wood floating shelves and custom-made island vegetables/fruits baskets on a full extension hardware. take a look at the clean and unique countertop cloudburst-concrete by caesarstone it has a "raw" finish texture. The master bathroom is made entirely from natural slate stone in different sizes, wall mounted modern vanity and a fantastic shower system by Signature Hardware. Guest bathroom was lightly remodeled as well with a new 66"x36" Mariposa tub by Kohler with a single piece quartz slab installed above it.

中くらいなリビング (両方向型暖炉、白い壁) の写真

リビングは家族みんなが集まる部屋。テレビを観たり、ゲームで遊んだり、本を読んだり、一日のできごとを語ったりと、家族が各々で、また揃って様々なことをするスペースがリビングです。子どもが小さいうちは、リビングに遊び場所をつくることも多いでしょうし、小学生になればリビングで宿題をすることもあるかもしれません。そしてその隣ではお母さんが家事や趣味の作業をしたり、パソコンを使うことも考えられます。また、特別な客間がない限り、リビングにお客さまを招くことも多いはずです。そんな多目的な部屋だからこそ、おしゃれでくつろげるリビングをつくるヒントを探しましょう。

おしゃれなリビングのインテリアとは？

リビングのインテリアほど頭を悩ませるものはないでしょう。日常的に家族が集まる場所であり、客間として来客をもてなす場所でもあるリビングルームは、飽きのこないインテリアと、少しばかりの個性が必要となります。大きなソファーを置くのもいいですが、一人がけの椅子を家族の人数に合わせて置いたりするのも個性的ですね。一方で、ローテーブルやテレビ台などの家具は、リビングの壁や床の色との馴染みを考えながら選ぶと失敗しません。家族で使うリビングは、それだけ多くのものが持ち込まれる場所。雑多なものであふれかえりがちなので、壁面収納や床下収納など、リビング全体のスペースを有効に使って、整理整頓しやすい部屋づくりが必要です。床に導線の妨げとなる物を置かないという単純なことだけでも、広くて快適なリビングづくりにつながります。

リビングを広く見せるコツ

日本の住宅ではリビングや客間のスペースを広く取れないことも多く、少しの家具でも窮屈に感じてしまうこともあるでしょう。間取りが決まっているからこそ、視覚で広く見せるコツがあります。

天井を高く見せるため、リビングの家具はなるべく低いものに統一する。

家具をリビングの中央に置かず、壁や部屋の隅に沿って配置して視線の中心に置かない。

床に敷くラグはあまり大きなサイズにせず、フローリング面を大きく見せる。

明るい色の家具を配置する。白い家具は光を反射し部屋を明るく見せ、広く感じさせる効果がある。

お客さまの印象に残る、すてきなリビングのつくり方

ゲストルームがある家はその限りではありませんが、ほとんどの家庭では、お客さまをリビングにお通しします。お客さまを迎えるときには、生活感あふれるいつものリビングだとちょっぴりナンセンス。そこで、インテリアにアクセントを加えてみてはいかがでしょうか。すぐできる工夫としては、ローテーブルに花を飾ったり、季節の装飾品アイテムを添えたりすることです。コーヒーテーブルブックと呼ばれる装丁の美しい本や、さり気なく飾った旅先の写真なども会話のきっかけになりますね。

スッキリしたリビングをキープするコツ

家族団らんの場である居間は、ともすればモノで溢れかえりがちです。普段からリビングに持ち込む物の量を家族の間で決めておくことをおすすめします。収納家具も扉付き、引き出し、またお気に入りのコレクションを飾ることができるオープン棚など、様々なスタイルがあります。居間やリビングでは、インテリアとしての見せる収納と、生活感のある日用品を収納できる隠す収納を使い分けてはいかがでしょうか。出し入れの頻度が高い子どものおもちゃや絵本などをリビングに置く場合、急なお客さまでも慌てないように、片付けやすい収納グッズを活用しましょう。世界中の住まいのプロが手がけたおしゃれなリビングの写真の中から、あなたのお気に入りのスタイルを見つけてください。フィルターを使うと、モダン、北欧、カントリー調といったインテリアスタイル別のリビングの写真を選んで表示したり、気に入った事例を手がけた専門家の情報や、同じようなスタイルの施工事例を見ることもできます。おしゃれなアイデアを集めて、リビングのインテリア・レイアウト改造計画を始めてみませんか？
