The Ripple Effect

I have never come across a concept that I found emotionally stimulating such as this. You have to watch the video in order to understand and possibly share the same experience. But first, let me explain...

The Ripple Effect is derived from jagged glass domes that come in two different styles with halogen lights and a brass base, the smaller domes shine through the bigger domes producing the imitation of water movement as they slowly rotate, and due to their uneven shape they generate different kinds of light and shadow effects, making the space even more striking at every turn!

Celebrity Homes: Cameron Diaz

I have always envied the actress for her joyful personality, amazingly toned legs, endearing laugh and even more so now for her striking NYC apartment. I have to admit that I was slightly surprised when I was going through the images as I never really expected to find it as alluring as it is, only because I had the impression that she was more of a tomboy than a 'glitz and glam' kinda girl; although she did reveal that she has a soft spot for "shiny and sparkly things" due to her Cuban roots.

What captured most of my attention are the metallic pieces beautifully circulated within the space, exclusively the guest toilet! The combination of onyx and brass is undeniably captivating to the eyes, don't you think?

The entire space has an assortment of soft and dark hues, the living room is more of a neutral palette that emanates Hollywood serenity, whereas the kitchen produces a different kind of energy using the glorious emerald green for the cabinets and gold for the backsplash.

You have to acknowledge that it isn't easy combining two different palettes and making it work, thus, I solute the Queen of California design Kelly Wearstler, as always for managing to produce yet another gorgeous home.

The heavenly guest toilet.

Parisian Apartment

This lavish 2,600 square feet Parisian apartment was designed by Champeau and Wilde, and there is nothing better than merging the old with the new, especially when it is done in such a desirable way.
I appreciate the living room more than anything else; the distinction between the reinstated classical moldings on the wall and the metallic side table is genius, including the gallant wall art in the lobby. I always believe in assimilating at least one piece that is bold and contentious; it adds character.
The kitchen area has been remodelled to convey a refined mid century look; elusive in color and in flair; producing that 30's aura.
Lastly, the bathroom...I. Have. No. Words.

Paul Smith:The New London Flagship Shop

Hello hello to the expansion of Paul Smith's store situated just on Staffaord Street in London Town. And an even bigger hello to the dynamic interior design that is an imppecable setting for the marque!
Firstly, let us appreciate the amount of yellow integrated, if you don't already know, I simply love that color; it adds outright liveliness and soul, especially when it's used as a backdrop for a mixed assortment of wall art. I'm also drawn to the consistency of the sculptures that surrounds the different sections of the store; it conserves a certain flow within the space, which is an essential point that a designer must not neglect.
Another feature that is more than worth mentioning is the creative dominos wall in the women's accessories section. How inventive can one get?
However, what I really did admire about the new shop is the unique exterior made out of cast iron panels that has been explicitly designed according to Smith's very own detailed drawings.
Take a look!
