Room by Color: Black and White Bedrooms

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

I thought that showing some black and white bedroom interiors would fit the mood for the upcoming holiday of Halloween. These rooms aren’t really spooky or scary but they are pretty great and I don’t recommend painting all your walls black for Halloween but an accent wall could look pretty cool if done right like some of the ones below. Some might feel that an all black and white interior can seem cold and uninviting so that’s why I like the idea of adding a little splash of yellow or beige to warm it up a bit. Adding a natural colored rug or rich woods can also do the trick.

Interior Spaces: Dolce and Gabbana Gold Restaurant

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Take it from Dolce & Gabbana to design a glam gold restaurant. Located in Milan is this opulent restaurant that is divided between a cafe and a bistro which has plenty of reflective surfaces including brass and gilded glass to give a feeling of luxury. You may need to wear sunglasses with all this shine. The Architects Ferruccio Laviani & Gianmaria Torno added warmth by incorporating pink and grey arabesque patterned marble and oak parquet.
