Interior designer: Ruth Káradóttirs - Island

Today I would like to tell you about an Island designer - Ruth Káradóttirs. Her interiors are inspired by Island nature. White an more white. 
I have found an article telling about the work and inspiration of Ruth. I love to read what inspired an artist. What makes him think of certain things and where do they get their inspiration from.

The house from 1968 is located in Breidholt which is one of the oldest suburbs to Rejkavik. White is the continuous color choice, only broken here and there by a little gray-brown elements like wood and concrete floors and wooden terrace outside.


 I prefer the natural materials and blends like the raw materials with more elegant says Ruth. Nature's own materials tend to only become more beautiful with age. And so do I like nature's own color scale set by the multifaceted nature of the picture here on the Island, from the snow into the lava, the hot springs and mountains.


- The light is very important to create the right atmosphere and it is one of the most important I try to create even for my clients, explains Ruth. Since we live so far north of here on the Island, we are fortunate with a lot of light, especially in summer when it is bright around the clock. But in winter it is only about six to seven hours a day and these conditions are important to take into account when building and planning their home here

House for sale: Amsterdam apartment Scandinavian style

If you see this house you would think it came out of a interior design magazine. 
But it is just a house for sale in Amsterdam. I adore the taste of these people. I guess they are involved in interior industry, as you really have to know what you are doing to be able to put this together. 
Using the most beautiful designs of the last years to create the clean, beautiful lines like that. 
I love every single part of this apartment. 
I believe  the price was something like 450.000,- euro. 
LOVE!

Marcel Wolterinck - Natural house in The Netherlands

Today I came across this beautiful house designed by Marcel Wolterinck, an amazing Dutch designer that combines luxury, hotel feeling interiors with nature elements. 
This house is situated in Laren, a little city close by Amsterdam. Actually all the houses in this city are amazing and every single house deserves a separate story. 
This house is made of red cedar wood, which has become slightly grey under the weather conditions in Holland. This makes the house get that natural image and get in harmony with the nature around it. The roof is made of zinc. In my opinion it gives a bit of a Paris feeling to it.

The house as well as the garden have a very natural atmosphere and the interior has been done just the way this house speaks to you. Natural materials, combined with the relaxing and natural color combinations. Wood, concrete, linen, stone. All of that has been put together in a total right way. 

I really adore that style and how all the single detail match each other. 




Click on this image to see all the great details. Amazing!

Home tour: Nature and design united

Today I came across this beautiful house thought a very cool blog - Design Addict Mom
If I would have to name an ultimate dream house of myself, than this one would come pretty close. 
I love how the nature and the living space join each other, the use of white colors, the natural stones, candles, expensive materials. Everything...

What I just do not know is where is this house situated, who is the designer and who is living there. Do you know? I find it important to honor all those people as well when i am making a port about a house. 

So, if you can help me with this, please do so.

But at the moment, just enjoy the view!

GT House - by Guilherme Torres


Lately I've been fascinated by Studio Guilherme Torres.

I'd like to introduce to you, this unconventional building used to house an artist painting and has recently been rebuilt in a fashionable home for life.



GT House is located in Brazil and was inspired by Paulo Mendes da Rocha, a Brazilian architect who won the Pritzker Prize in 2006.



This extraordinary housing costs were low by $6,000.00 U, but there is a living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. 



The interior is designed using modern furniture in unique solutions. This modern house might look a bit rustic, but it is certainly an innovative design for comfortable living.
