Japanese Inspired Remodel in Noe Valley-Living Room
Japanese Inspired Remodel in Noe Valley-Living Room
Mark Brand ArchitectureMark Brand Architecture
The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner’s passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

Back To Indian Roots

Puru- Home EnsemblePuru- Home Ensemble
Witness the nuanced, Indian Heritage-themed Interior Decor project completed in Mumbai; a project that draws from the rich history of Indian architecture, bringing back the roots of our culture into our homes. The remarkably warm undertones used throughout the decor are a subtle nod to the raw and organic elements of Rajasthani's decorative style. Keeping in line with the theme, the sprawling sofas in the living room have been sourced directly from Jodhpur. The eye-catching cushion covers, also sourced from a Designer, add an unmistakable vibrance to the otherwise sombre atmosphere; a classy combo for the ages. Elements such as the cushions contribute to the comfortable, intimate environment that makes places a true home. The use of a consistent palette is the highlight of this home decor project. Right from the ornamental wall panels to the elegant ochre-toned Sabyasachi wallpapers (Pichwai), the colour consistency allows for easy integration of pieces across the country. This space allows for abundant sunlight to create its natural magic; a sun-kissed ivory-tiled floor lighting up the sleek, earthen, walls very similar to the temples of centuries passed. Speaking of inspired Indian heritage, the ornamental decor used to furnish this space has been sourced from across the country, making it a lively potpourri of diverse Indian artefacts and design styles. A traditional decorative piece, this ‘Tree of Life’ inspired gilded pattern rests against the background of solid obsidian, instantly drawing our attention to its unmissable beauty. Combined, these diverse decor elements come together in a lyrical jugalbandi, a duet of traditional elegance coupled with the efficient comfort offered by modern homes. Suffice to say, the space is an arresting display of skilled design. All in all, this project not only offers you a blast from the past but also serves as a welcome break from ubiquitous modern home decor themes. The intimate vibe of a typical Indian home is retained in this contemporary box, yet there is an unmistakable display of grandeur and ornamental glamour that comes only with decor inspired by Indian Heritage. Embrace the coming together of two vastly different worlds in the comfort of one’s own home with the Indian Heritage theme!

World-Inspired Living Room Ideas and Designs

Looking for world-inspired living room ideas? Whether your living room is lacklustre, your lounge is limited in space, your sitting room is suffering from outdated decor or your front room is full of clutter, there are world-inspired living room ideas and designs that will inspire you to breathe life into your living space. Discover small living room ideas to help maximise tiny spaces or world-inspired layout ideas that will work with awkward shaped living rooms. Perhaps you’re struggling to decide on living room colours? Read on for help with colours, layout and design ideas, or find inspiration from the millions of living room photos on Houzz.

World-Inspired Living room wallpaper ideas

A good place to start when it comes to redesigning your living room is with the walls. While paint may seem the simplest choice, and easy to change, don’t discredit the design opportunities of world-inspired wallpaper in living rooms. There are tons of great living room wallpaper ideas, from modern geometric patterns to traditional florals, and loads of ways to use them – you don’t have to cover the whole room or go for the ubiquitous feature wall. You could wallpaper only above the dado rail (if you have one), either side of a chimney breast, or behind a shelving unit to give your displayed items a stylish backdrop. Discover more living room wallpaper ideas or if paint is more your style, there’s plenty of living room designs to discover when it comes to paint ideas; just browse through the huge selection of world-inspired living photos and search for the specific paint you’re after if you really want to narrow it down.

Small living room ideas

When it comes to our living room design, we want it to feel as welcoming and personality-filled as possible, but that can be a struggle when we’re working with a small space. But not to fear, there are world-inspired small living room ideas to help you make most out of what you’re working with. A couple of world-inspired small living room ideas can include: working with the height you have – installing floor-to-ceiling bookshelves or drawing the eye to the top of the walls with wallpaper; choosing space-saving or storage-incorporating (or both!) furniture, such as corner sofas with storage space under the chaise longue section; and keeping things symmetrical – a central fireplace with seating opposite, or seats facing each other, can give the illusion of a larger, more grand room. When it comes to the best decor for world-inspired small living rooms, you can either choose to keep things light and airy to open up the space, or embrace the cosiness of the smaller area you have by going for warm colours and filling the room with your favourite accessories.

Living room layouts and choosing the right world-inspired living room furniture

When it comes to the layout of your world-inspired living room, it will depend on what pieces of furniture you have – but how do you choose what living room furniture to add, whether you’re refreshing your living room design or starting from scratch? The best place to start is with the world-inspired seating – one corner sofa will usually seat three to four people, and if that’s all you think you’ll need, then you can leave it at that. Placing your sofa along the longest wall helps to make the most of the space, but think about where you want the focus of the room to be, too. If you need more seating, look at Moroccan style armchairs that offer comfort but don’t take up too much space – cramming a room with too many large armchairs is something to avoid. But armchairs and sofas don’t have to be your only options – go for bean bags and floor cushions for an eclectic feel, pouffes and ottomans if you’re more traditional, and smart design chairs for contemporary living room ideas. Coffee tables are always handy, but you can always add a couple of japanese style side tables if you don’t want to clutter the central space in front of seating with anything. If you centre your living room design around a fireplace or TV, then you might want storage and shelving to feature around the focus of your room. There are plenty of style options when it comes to TV units, and you can even go for bespoke living room storage units to make the most of the space if you want a sleek, built-in look. Keep reading below for more living room storage ideas. Discover a huge range of zen living room furniture, as well as living room accessories, to help you finish your room design.

Living room design ideas

Struggling with what living room colours to choose, or what style to go with? While a grey living room design is popular at the moment, you might not want to go with the ubiquitous colour. Although, if neutral and contemporary are the living room ideas you’re after, a grey sofa or grey walls will give you a good base to work on. If you want to stay neutral, beige is not your only other option, either. Light yellows, taupes and soft greys will work. Why not try adding simple but plush cushions to your sofa and a rug in these colours to achieve a modern-traditional look? For contemporary living room ideas, dark blues and greens are on trend, but if you don’t want to dive straight into the dark wall trend, you could opt for a couple of pieces of furniture, or go for dark-hued living room accessories instead. Whites, woods and pastels could work well for Scandinavian living room designs. If an eclectic living room is what you’re after, you could go for large print wallpaper, a statement lighting piece, vibrant rug and lots of colourful book or ornament displays. For a country feel, rustic carpet, stone hearths, comfy armchairs and traditional patterns in creams, greens and browns will give you that cosy cottage feel.

Living room storage ideas

It’s natural that our living rooms tend to attract lots of items and belongings seeing as they act as multipurpose living spaces. Whether you love to read a book; watch a film; let your children play with their toys; practise a craft like knitting or drawing; play a musical instrument or play video games in your sitting room, there will always be a need for a few extra world-inspired living room ideas that can help you with storage. Apart from the standard bookcases, side tables and TV units, there are a few other handy living room storage ideas you can invest in. As mentioned before, if you have the room and budget for it, a built-in storage unit could be the way forward. With a well-built unit you could hide your TV, DVDs, players, books, video consoles and all sorts away in one place. If you don’t quite have a large enough area for one, you could look at shelving – either side of the chimney breast is a great place to install shelving if you have one in your living room. And don’t forget world-inspired living room furniture such as sofas, benches and ottomans that lift up to reveal hidden storage; providing seating and storing space at the same time. With the right storage solutions your world-inspired living room design could open up and feel so much more spacious and stylish. Discover more living room storage ideas by browsing these photos. Once you have your world-inspired living room storage, colours, design, layout and furniture sorted, all that’s left is to browse the millions of living room ideas on Houzz and save your favourites to an ideabook.
