The Oddbod Chair Design Unique by Javier Alejandre





It´s made in rotomoulded PET and pine legs. Spanish designer Javier Alejandre has created the Oddbod Chair. The chair plays at the boundary between an inert object such as a chair and to give life to this object. The formal inspiration are the weird sci-fi movies of the mid-twentieth century design and retrofuturistic organic design tendences.

Inspired Design Idea Wth DIY Reading Nook


The owner of this home used the same pale colored wood on the floor to create the shelves and trim for this niche. It could be a fun DIY project. This helps to maintain harmony in the room. To avoid complication, wouldn’t necessarily have to incorporate the slanted part, although it does add some interest. Next, create the base on which the day bed will lay and incorporate some storage, as they have done here.

Think about integrating some lighting for nook, but plan it before putting up the shelves and faux walls. Next, think about cozy pillows and blankets and decide on a color scheme. Here, they used gray and white, green and blue in light tones of medium to light intensities. As a result, the space is cool and relaxing – pretty peaceful.

The Larix House a Interior Design by Corvin Cristian



The old wood boat sheds on the neighboring Snagov Lake inspired the shape and materials of the house. Architect Corvin Cristian has completed the Larix House in Snagov, Romania. The lot is narrow thus generating the plan and position. For intimacy reasons, the street elevation is totally opaque while the openings abound towards the courtyard. Sun protection is provided by exterior electric aluminum blinds that slide underneath the wood facade when not in use.

The Thonet chairs, the ottoman inspired sofa from Autobahn, the reclaimed wood coffee table or the Matthew Hilton “Oscar” armchairs are a counterpoint to the white minimal space. The walls are to be filled with a collection of paintings. In the austere geometry of the house introduced some “romantic” elements as the curved balcony handrail or the 1900 colored concrete tiles.

Achieving Balance with Asymmetrical Interior Design





The foundations of asymmetrical style include arrangements or designs that are based on avoiding repetition, which is typical of classical or traditional styles. By using an asymmetrical interior design principle for the kitchen wall, the designers succeeded in achieving balance in this unusual space – one that is highly modern and evokes an enormous amount of interest.

The cut out of the angled kitchen wall is in the wonderful shape of an isosceles triangle and it provides an out of the ordinary view from either side. The look of the wall itself also makes a striking statement in the room. The danger of asymmetry in a room comes about when it is over done. Instead of accomplishing an unusual but pleasing balance, you could end up with a ‘fun-house’ effect.
