Luxurious and sophisticated may not be the first words that come to mind when thinking of game rooms. However, why not? These ultra sleek and contemporary entertainment spaces have inspired us to imagine beyond the obvious. Typically game rooms are left with a casual style and some would say, lack of style. Today you can find billiard tables, ping pong tables and other gaming tables with brilliant contemporary designs. We explored some of the options and found examples that have inspired us.
This funky and glamorous game room features exotic taxidermy, glossy black ceiling and wall moldings and a contemporary crystal chandelier. We love the unexpected touches that make this game room the center of attention.

An elegant console table in an entryway, hallway or master suite is a great opportunity to purchase an interesting piece of furniture. We love that you can style console tables in so many different ways. Adding interesting lighting, art piece or sculptural decorative elements, are all ways to make a style your own. We have been lusting over some of these thoughtful console table styling combos.
The contrasting style of this modern console table against the traditional wall moldings makes for such an interesting pair. The look is taken further by adding the beautiful contemporary wall lighting to highlight the decorative art displayed on the console.

Designing a master closet is a great way to flex your creativity and organization skills. A master closet should be personal and tailored to fit the end user. Some, more fashionable, may desire a closet where their collections are on display and others may want a clever and orderly closet that hides all of their belongings.
This contemporary master closet is reminiscent of a designer showroom. The marble floors and recessed lighting make it feel ultra luxurious. The floor to ceiling window view is not a bad touch either!

Selecting art for clients can be a very fun, but challenging part of being an interior designer. Art is very personal and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One person may view a piece of art and feel emotions such as joy and chaos, whereas another may feel angst and confusion. Composition of art may be interpreted many different ways. This past week we have been searching for large scale, contemporary works for a client project and have felt very inspired by abstract street art and photography.
These two photographs mounted side by side provide an interesting contrast to a somewhat classic style interior.

Black and white tiled floors are a great way to dress up your home and add interest to any room. Whether it be more classic and traditional patterns laid in marble or funky and trendy patterns laid with porcelain or cement tiles, we love them all!

There are so many clever and whimsical wallpapers that we come across and are inspired by. Many of us do not want to commit to bold patterns and prints on our walls in fear that we will grow tired of them too soon. A nursery room is the perfect place to paste the wallpaper you’ve always lusted after. New moms will be spending lots of time in this room and these selections could easily last into elementary years.
We love this quirky watercolor cacti wallpaper; a perfect gender neutral selection.

Stairways are a great architectural feature that can add character to a home. We are loving all of these creative stairs, in different materials.
