Design Tips

With a blend of exposed steel and rustic wood, industrial decor is one of my favorite design styles for its ability to achieve aesthetic balance. It is simultaneously organic and engineered, bold and refined, masculine and feminine. In this comprehensive guide, I'll show you how to design an industrial style home with inspirational ideas and specific advice.

Are you looking for living room decorating ideas after recently moving? Or, is your current living room looking a little lackluster? If you feel the impulse to clear everything out and start from scratch, then stop for one moment before you do anything dramatic and expensive. Sometimes, all a living room needs is one carefully considered key element to pull the space together. Getting this right is a whole lot easier than redesigning every single detail of your living room. So, here are 10 innovative living room decorating ideas to help you put your interior design woes behind you.

If you're a fan of Southwestern Americana design, than the Formentera Home by Luis Galliussi is your ideal fantasy home. Featuring Mexican-esque architecture set in a hot desert climate (with cacti to boot), the interior is carefully decorated with bohemian accents. The combination of masculine elements (gray stone and reclaimed wood) and chic decor (light colored textiles and vintage furniture) gives it an effortlessly balanced aesthetic.

Modern, Industrial, and undeniably Japanese. The Wabi-Sabi aesthetic is one of many design principles of the island nation. In the Greenwich Hotel Penthouse, Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki and Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt were able to turn this prime space into a masterpiece. Large and expansive in size, yet warm and homely in texture. Rustic and old in individual decor, yet fresh and original when approached cohesively. Truly a dream home in the heart of the most desired neighborhood in all of New York City - TriBeCa.
