Modern Modular Home Design

Small not Simple: Minimalist Modern Modular Home Design

A summer home should be simple insofar as it is easy to maintain, inexpensive, comfortable and requires little work to get back into working condition after being idle for a while. While this miniaturemodular house by Tommie Wilhelmsen takes advantage of cheap materials, a simple plan and a small site to save on costs, it is also compelling in its three-dimensional spatial complexity.

Seen from the outside, the secluded enclosure of an upper bedroom also wraps to form a semi-enclosed deck space below. The volumes that comprise the house fit together but also provide views in various directions and some privacy between each interior and exterior room.

The interior of the building is modern and minimalist as the exterior. Simple white walls and mostly built-in furniture populate these spaces and open shelving and clean lines are found throughout making everything easy to keep tidy.

Nooks and crannies are formed by the wrapping exterior walls to create comfortable interior spaces within the plan – without letting them become cramped by being fully divided and isolated.

Shifts in elevation are also employed to make each small space a distinct section inside of the structure as a whole. While it is only a summer home this would be a wonderfully rich set of spaces to live in year round as well

Colorful & Creative Minimalist Kitchen Design Ideas

Too often people go to extremes with kitchen designs – ultramodern or comfortable, stark and simple or complex and ornate. There are few real-life kitchens, however, that can live up to these highest of stylistic expectations under everyday conditions.

Likewise, when showcasing their design offerings many interior, furniture and fixture design companies tend to create unbelievably perfect settings of one kind or another. These kitchen design ideas by KicheConcept, however,  a careful blend of pragmatic, possible and playful that exists between opposites.

Some of their examples blend modern lines and materials with a touch of color, warmth, and a variety of visual and physical textures. Contrast and detail make some elements stand out from the otherwise simple elements.

Whether you are looking to build a commercial kitchen or redesign your own home cooking space it is worth considering more than one approach at the same time. An extreme design can seem convincing in a magazine but can you live with (and in) it?

Creative Color: Minimalist Bedroom Interior Design Ideas

Sometimes it is simply helpful to see how someone else has designed a whole space, how the interior design elements fit together to become pieces of a whole room. With that in mind, here are some completebedroom interiors from Huelsta that might not be crazy and cutting edge or amazingly avant garde but provide some visual design inspiration – particularly when it comes to color.

Note that a great deal of the impact of these designs comes from the use of minimal colors in a fairly consistent and limited color range. The few decorative elements or other creative accents that diverge from the basic scheme stand out all the more as a result.

Particularly in these modern minimalistic black-and-white bedroom layouts the random touch of color from decorations, furnishings or ordinary everyday objects stand out against the simple designs.

Bedroom Design: 20 Ideas for Your Own Designer Bedroom

Amazing pictures and great ideas can be almost as helpful in designing the best new bedroom as having a cool designer – and inspiration is free. From retro and vintage to modern and bohemian, small spare rooms to magnificent master bedrooms, here are some of the most creative and unique photos of bedroom interior designs online.

Cool & Hot Colored Bedroom Design: An age-old interior designer trick is to start with a great color palette and work from there, finding, designing and painting around that first defining choice. From simple modern black, white or grey palettes the bright blue, yellow and red choices in the pictures above, this is a good way to start small and build a big space around a tiny color concept.

Themed & Bohemian Bedroom Design: For those of a slightly different stripe (zebra, perhaps?) there are a number of ways to transform master and guest bedrooms into great spaces. Retro and vintage can be cool, but these images illustrate people who have gone all the way to tropical Pacific Island green, water-filled Far East blue or simple mellow Western-Style (yacht) white-and-yellow.

Elegant, Classic & Stately Bedroom Design: Before you get too carried away in one direction with ideas for your own designer bedroom, it is worth keeping in mind that there are creative design concepts of all kinds. While some will find these traditional styles stuffy and boring, they can actually become fairly amazing quite quickly with anything from faux-panoramic Roman-ruins scenery to miniature-replica Egyptian-god fountains.

Glamorous, Over-the-Top & Celebrity-Style Bedroom Designs:Once again making a mighty leap in design, these pictures show that stripping poles and sparkling pink are still in style for some people as well. While they might be cool and fun for a temporary hotel room stay, they are not the kinds of places most of us would feel comfortable creating in our own house or home.

Japanese, Chinese & Other Asian Theme Bedroom Designs: Saved for last, inspiration from the Far East can be dangerous – it is a small step from cultural curiosity to crazy kitsch. Nonetheless, there are designer lessons to be learned from the ways in which these spaces are organized, colored and decorated even if taking direct aesthetic ideas might not be the best idea   

Interactive Interiors: Convertible Kids Bedroom Furniture

There is an unfortunate tendency for people to think of interior design as a binary proposition: there are fixed elements (structure, furniture and fixtures) and there are flexible elements (furnishings) which are small, light, additive and non-essential.

Designs like these, however, can teach children from an early age that the line between permanent and portable is not so cut and dried as it may seem as illustrated by the GAB children’s furniture design company.

Rolling bed units over comfortable child-sized couches, for example, allow kids to maximize play, work and relaxation space during the day but shift their interior space to sleep at night.

Movable tables and beds on wheels make it possible for each child sharing a room to customize the space when they are using it and to open up more room during the day by tucking one bed beneath the other, adding fun and functional to a simple small space design.

Still other designs shift to accomodate additional storage space or custom configurations of shelving, beds and otherwise conventionally fixed-in-place design elements

Lofted Space-Saving Furniture for Bedroom Interiors

Tumidei is more than just a furniture company – they construct modern and relatively inexpensive (no, not cheap) pieces of furniture that they also create compositions from – interior design photos that you can use to shape your own space. These lofted bedroom interiors are brilliantly varied and are great space-saving solutions for cramped bedrooms.

A lot of these lofted interiors are clearly designed for children and teens in terms of sizes, colors and material quality. They incorporate elements needed for a student office, plenty of clothing, game and toy storage and stairs that older people might not be as eager to climb. For a small space (and a small person) one could really see the appeal of fitting everything in.

There is nothing to say that adults could not use this furniture as well and there  are certainly more ways to put these sets together than are suggested by these photographs, but they do provide some ways in which you could coordinate colors, materials and forms to create a composite design that looks planned and organized ahead of time.
