Francesc Zamora Mola - 150 Best New Apartment Ideas

Contents Making your living space a comfortable place you want to be at all times is not an easy task and can even be intimidating when you dont know how to go about doing it. The truth is that it takes time, patience, and a big stack of home decorating magazines to achieve satisfying results. Decorating is all about personal taste and expressing yourself through creative ideas to produce an environment that reflects your personality. Whether you have recently moved to an empty apartment or are redecorating, there are ways to give your apartment a new look with a personalized flair. You will find that not only are there a gazillion options, but also you can change the decoration of your apartment or parts of it at any time with new, trendy ideas. While an experts advice always comes in handy, there are certain aspects you should handle yourself before undertaking your decorating project: First, define the area you want to decorate, and be specific about your needs by drafting a wish list.

Second, establish a budget and prioritize your purchases and tasks. Third, decide on a theme to focus on when selecting colors, furniture, and accessories. Your decorator can take it from there, or you can venture out on your own, finding inspiration inmagazines, books and catalogs, online blogs, and shops. No matter how tedious the process may be, especially in the early stages, you will see things slowly start falling into place, and the experience will eventually prove exciting and, most important, gratifying.

Architect The gut renovation of a loft with windows on only one exposure presented unique challenges specific to the space and to the art collector client.

The project resulted in a fluid space that allows daylight into specific areas and maximizes wall space for large paintings and photographs. A blackened steel wall swings open to grant access to a freight elevator and serves as support for a large format art piece. To make a large sliding door visually interesting, paint it with a daring combination of color. The entry is clad in a reclaimed Brazilian barn wood that extends throughout the house to counterbalance the rigor of the steel and glass. Install translucent glass doors and panels to bring natural light into dark rooms without compromising privacy.
