Barcelona Living

This to me, is the best representation of the old and new. The beautiful intricate outline of El Palauet Living interiors have been restored only to highlight the originality and true age of the space, followed by up-to-the-minute furniture portraying the designer's appreciation for traditional and contemporary art, I have to admit I absolutely admire that! I am also drawn to the constant use of white, it radiates an aura that is fresh, urbane and luxurious.

Shuwa Express, Oman

Proudly presenting to you "Shuwa Express", a restaurant situated in Bareeq Al Shatti, Oman and beautifully designed by Omani Interior Designer Khulood Sultan, her aim was to generate something that has "movement and originality" integrating certain colors and materials that represent the Omani culture, furthermore, to retell history.
Without question, this space exudes opulent innovation, and I love the gold trays placed on the tables against the high chairs wrapped in traditional vivid fabric, I think it creates such a beautiful contrast! I'm now pleased to also share that she's a good friend. Well done, missy!

I decided to share some of the inspirational images for the current 'Arabic Retro Cafe' project I'm working on, and guess what?

GommaPiuma Deco

If this isn't brilliance than I don't know what is. Designer Massimiliano Adami has come up with the idea of repurposing wasted material from the manufacturing fabrication of sofa stuffings, and the pressing of the different colored soft polyurethane until it's properly formed, guarentees that each piece of the GommaPiuma Deco collection is inimitable in its own way.

Black and White Bedrooms

InsideOut just recently posted images of their favorite Black and White bedrooms and I fell in love with each and every one of them, I also included a couple of more images from my 'random interiors' file. I have to say that there's definitely something indisputably urbane about this combination, and the best thing about it is that it can be effortlessly formed in any style you wish. Moreover, adding a personal touch by integrating a different color of your personal choice is most certainly a bonus!

Kyle DeWoody's Eclectic Apartment

Please say HELLO to Kyle DeWoody's modishly assorted appartment in which her objective for dressing herself and her personal space is "cohesion, comfort and a bit of playfulness."
In my opinion, any eclectic space screams 'character' and always makes me believe that the individual has more than one interesting story to tell. I like the way everything has been put together, all her pieces are diverse in style and yet they are perfectly unified. And boy, do I want that chair she's sitting on!

Nada Debs: Concrete Carpet

How ingenious is this Nada Debs carpet? It's manufactured using concrete material and a hint of mother of pearl in 28 panels. Arabic calligraphy in a Japanese flair is engraved on those panels in the form of geometry. The typeface was fashioned in association with with designer Pascal Zoghbi. It's simple yet theatrical, there's really nothing about this piece that I don't love!
