Hamptons Hideaway

Betty Wasserman Art & Interiors

This 7,000 square foot space located is a modern weekend getaway for a modern family of four. The owners were looking for a designer who could fuse their love of art and elegant furnishings with the practicality that would fit their lifestyle. They owned the land and wanted to build their new home from the ground up. Betty Wasserman Art & Interiors, Ltd. was a natural fit to make their vision a reality. Upon entering the house, you are immediately drawn to the clean, contemporary space that greets your eye. A curtain wall of glass with sliding doors, along the back of the house, allows everyone to enjoy the harbor views and a calming connection to the outdoors from any vantage point, simultaneously allowing watchful parents to keep an eye on the children in the pool while relaxing indoors. Here, as in all her projects, Betty focused on the interaction between pattern and texture, industrial and organic. Project completed by New York interior design firm Betty Wasserman Art & Interiors, which serves New York City, as well as across the tri-state area and in The Hamptons.

Apartment with work space and dressing room

Alexander Tischler

There is no room for a full closet at the entrance, so we installed several clothes hooks and a small cross-drawer closet instead. The rest of the stuff can be stored in the second closet further down the hall, where we also located the low-current and electrical panels as well as the heating manifold. We design interiors of homes and apartments worldwide. If you need well-thought and aesthetical interior, submit a request on the website.

Архитектурная мастерская Мартынова и Гатиловой

Вместительная прихожая смотрится вдвое больше за счет зеркала во всю стену. Цветовая гамма теплая и мягкая, собирающая оттенки всей квартиры. Мы тщательно проработали функциональность: придумали удобный шкаф с открытыми полками и подсветкой, нашли место для комфортной банкетки, а на пол уложили крупноформатный керамогранит Porcelanosa. По пути к гостиной мы украсили стену элегантной консолью на латунных ножках и картиной, ставшей ярким акцентом.

Элегантная квартира 60 кв. м в центре Москвы

Ольга Долидзе

Квартира начинается с прихожей. Хотелось уже при входе создать впечатление о концепции жилья. Планировка от застройщика подразумевала дверной проем в спальню напротив входа в квартиру. Путем перепланировки мы закрыли проем в спальню из прихожей и создали красивую композицию напротив входной двери. Зеркало и буфет от итальянской фабрики Sovet представляют собой зеркальную композицию, заключенную в алюминиевую раму. Подобно абстрактной картине они завораживают с порога. Отсутствие в этом помещении естественного света решили за счет отражающих поверхностей и одинаковой фактуры материалов стен и пола. Это помогло визуально увеличить пространство, и сделать прихожую светлее. Дверь в гостиную - прозрачная из прихожей, полностью пропускает свет, но имеет зеркальное отражение из гостиной. Выбор керамогранита для напольного покрытия в прихожей и гостиной не случаен. Семья проживает с собакой. Несмотря на то, что питомец послушный и дисциплинированный, помещения требуют тщательного ухода. Керамогранит же очень удобен в уборке.

Минималистичное оформление: скрытые двери, шкафы больше похожие на стены, тонкие чёрные акценты. Насыщенный терракотовый цвет придаёт помещению уют. Интересной фишкой стали шкафы в прихожей: за счёт цвета в тон стен и скругленных внешних углов, они не воспринимаются мебелью. Многие гости удивляются, когда открываются дверки, для того чтобы убрать за них вещи.

Ирина Киреева

Квартира 43кв.м в сталинском доме. Легкий интерьер в стиле современной классики с элементами midcentury. Хотелось максимально визуально расширить небольшое пространство квартиры, при этом организовать достаточные места хранения. Светлая цветовая палитра, зеркальные и стеклянные поверхности позволили это достичь. Использовались визуально облегченные предметы мебели, для того чтобы сохранить воздух в помещении: тонкие латунные стеллажи, металлическая консоль, диван на тонких латунных ножках. В прихожей так же размещены два вместительных гардеробных шкафа. Консоль и акцентное латунное зеркало. Винтажные светильники

This project was a complete renovation of a single-family residence perched on a mountain in Lake Tahoe, NV. The house features large expanses of glass that will provide a direct connection to the exterior for picture-perfect lake, mountain and forest views. Created for an art collector, the interior has all the features of a gallery: an open plan, white walls, clean lines, and carefully located sight lines that frame each individual piece. Exterior materials include steel and glass windows, stained cedar lap siding and a standing seam metal roof. Photography: Leslee Mitchell

Contemporary Hallway Ideas and Designs

The entrance of your home is a critical area to design well because as we all know, first impressions count. As the first thing that visitors will see when they arrive, your entrance is your opportunity to offer guests a warm welcome while introducing the personality of your contemporary home. Equally important, it welcomes you home every day, so make it somewhere that you’re glad to come home to. The entrance to your home begins the moment you get to the front door, so make sure both inside and out get the attention of your decorator’s touch. Make your contemporary foyer the best possible introduction to the rest of the house, and if you wish, you can have a bit of fun with the doorway; paint, tiles, door handles and lighting are all ways to make front doors a statement – a dramatic entrance, if you will.

What contemporary front doors can I choose from?

Your first decision when updating front doors is what type of external doors you want to use, taking into account style, security and accessibility. Investing in a high quality front door is always worthwhile – this is a purchase where a little extra money goes a long way. Hardwood exterior doors remain the most popular choice of front door; as well as being the most economical, timber also opens the door to an endless selection of paint, hardware and embellishment. However, natural wood doors do have their downsides – prone to warping, they require more upkeep and may require replacing if not adequately cared for. Whether you opt for solid oak external doors or an oak veneer option, wooden doors are a match made in heaven for period architecture – it’s hard to imagine a Georgian house without a solid, six-panel door, or a Victorian home sans its gleaming hardware and stained glass panes. If you prefer non-wooden exterior doors, the alternatives are UPVC doors, GRP doors (collectively known as composite doors) and steel doors. UPVC front doors are often the most inexpensive alternative to timber and offer added insulation benefits; because the material itself can be a comparatively insubstantial, UPVC external doors are built into steel door frames for added reinforcement. GRP (glass-reinforced plastic, or fibreglass to you and me) doors offer the same properties, with a woodgrain effect that can provide a happy medium for lovers of timber. Steel doors are less widely used in the UK than the US, and make great contemporary front doors thanks to their sleek, modern appearance.

How do I decorate my contemporary doorway?

Renovating or replacing your front doors is one of the quickest ways to give your home a makeover, and affords the perfect opportunity to add a splash of colour to the front of your home. To improve your front door’s kerb appeal you can flank the doorway with decorative trees or flowering plants in attractive planters and “dress” the door with shiny hardware. Door knockers and door knobs can be more than functional with a range of styles and materials available to add some personality to exterior doors. A traditional brass door knocker can be the perfect complement to a solid oak doorway painted in a rich shade of green or blue, whilst contemporary chrome door hardware will look perfect against a white or eggshell door. If you are looking for an elegant front door option, opt for a hardwood door with built in obscured glass panels to let light into your hallway. If you would rather avoid a glass paned front door for security reasons then smaller decorative glass panels can also be inserted into the surround or door frame. You can choose stained glass panes for decorative effect, patterned or textured glass will allow light in but protect your privacy or get your home name or number etched into a glass pane for a practical but personal touch.

How should I light my contemporary front entrance?

The warm glow from a doorway is one of the most welcoming sights that can greet us when we arrive home. An entrance light is of practical importance – we have all spent time fumbling for our house keys in the dark – but it also offers an opportunity to add warmth and character to front doors and entrances. A wall mounted lantern is a charming traditional choice, or for bright, directed illumination opt for a security spotlight. There are a whole variety of switching options available – you can choose a motion sensor light that switches on right when you need it most, a timer light that will offer illumination on a fixed schedule or a switched outdoor light. Pointing light upward is a good way to avoid harsh glare, or choose recessed lighting if you prefer not to have a hanging light in front of your external doors. An entrance is also a great place to display lighting as a decorative feature – choose a table lamp that echoes the lines and colours of the hall beyond it.

What furniture and storage do I need in my contemporary entryway?

It’s important to keep the entrance to your home as open and clutter free as possible, so selecting a few practical items that will help with storage and offer a warm welcome is the best approach for this area. Coat stands, umbrella holders and shoe racks are practical foyer additions that will keep the area tidy. For the knick knacks and paraphernalia that so often accumulate by front doors, sideboards or console tables are helpful and opting for a something with a drawer is a clever trick to ensure these things can be stowed out of sight. If you have the space, an armchair, occasional chair or hallway bench will prove useful for perching on when removing shoes and definitely consider multi-functional furniture such as a storage bench for shoes. A wall mounted shoe cabinet is a must have for a tighter space, getting shoes off the floor and neatly stowed away.

How do I decorate my contemporary foyer?

Particularly in the entrance to the home, colour can be a wonderful tool to set the tone of the house. Neutral palettes can create a serene atmosphere appropriate for greeting guests; alternatively, you might find yourself being a little bit more adventurous by choosing a whimsical wallpaper or a bold wall colour that could look overwhelming anywhere else in the house. In either case, the foyer can be blended seamlessly into the home with details that connect it to adjoining rooms. Even if your entrance is not self-contained, instead with exterior doors that open straight into the house, visual tricks make it possible to create the illusion of an entryway by defining the space as such. Changes in flooring, a well-placed rug, a screen or curtain, or even furniture such as a console table or coat rack, can be used to delineate the space and distinguish the entrance from the rest of the hallway. Decorating walls and furniture with photographs or artwork is a simple way of bringing your personality into the foyer and plants, lamps, candles, vases and ornaments can be displayed on windowsills, tables or shelves. As a final thoughtful touch, mirrors placed next to front doors are a practical choice for those last minute appearance checks, as long as it’s not directly opposite the doorway, which could back-light the user – decidedly not helpful!
