Interior Design husband and wife team Stephen and Gail Huberman of SGH Interiors are behind these dramatically beautiful interiors:
*
All walls are painted a matte gray color with crisp white ceiling and dark hardwood floors. The end wall of this living room is devoted to displaying beautiful sculptural items on custom built shelves. Take a look at the beautiful Gothic style mirror over the fireplace, and the cowhide bench.
*
Using the same color as the walls on the shelves and other larger pieces like this beautiful wing chair, other items really stands out, like that console table. It looks like a half wheel with arrow spokes. Wish we could see the rest of it.
*
A folding wall with a blue and green landscape of trees is placed as a backdrop for what looks to be a staircase sculpture.
*
The “heavy” matte walls are repeatedly contrasted by tall transparent glass items such as candle sticks, vases and apothecary jars. I really like the way this dining table is framed by the etageres.
*
Have you ever seen texture like this on a wall? Me neither!

Lovely reader Hilary so kindly requested a Moroccan theme post as inspiration for her bedroom makeover. Ask and you shall receive! My first thought off cause went to these dreamy interiors by Jeffers Design Group:
*
This tiny seating area is a feast for the eye with it’s great shapes, proportion and color. Hypnotizing!
*
The seating area is situated in a hallway in front of this staircase. I know the Moroccan style incorporates a lot of geometrical patterns and beautiful tiles, but I haven’t seen it combined into a beautiful hardwood floor like this before. And what do you think about the carpeting on the stairs? Looks like someone went up before and left a trail of rose petal for you to follow. Very inviting =)
*
This coral pink living room is topped off with a yellow ceiling and beige furniture. The furniture is pretty low set and simple in design, serving as the perfect backdrop for layering of pillows and fabrics of bright colors and beautiful pattern.
*
Those built in shelves!!
*
A simple but dramatic vignette with a mirror, two symmetrically arranged sculptures and a tray with silver tea service. The high gloss cabinet even has a tassel handle!
*
First thing you notice when walking through the door of this bedroom, apart from the fantastic door itself, has to be that ceiling.
*
Golden beige bedroom with every possible shade and hue of coral. Spicy hot colors!
*
View from the bed. There are so much detail here, even the lamp shades have beaded fringes.
*
I just could not leave this dressing room out.
*
When I think about Moroccan style interiors I think tassels, trays, big soft throw pillows and layering of hot fabrics. Oh yeah, the lanterns and incense too off cause!
Before creating this website, I had a tiny file on my computer with my favorite interior pictures. That tiny file has grown into 500 files with 7000 images by the way. But I digress. Well, one of the pictures in that tiny file of mine was a smaller version of the pic below. Ever since then I have been in love with the print hanging over the sofa, but haven’t been able to find out anything about it. Yesterday as I was looking through the portfolio of Kwinter & Co Design, it turned up again, and now I am asking you if you happen to know anything about it?
*
And here it is.
*
Now let’s take a look at the rest of this gorgeous room. The living room is actually white with rich gray carpeting and a beige cowhide flower rug (available here). The wall behind the gray velour sofa is completely covered in mirrors. Nice glass coffee table too.
*
Side view. Black lamp shades are pretty and creates a good mood, but is not for lighting up, that’s for sure. But who cares when you have windows like that in the living room?
*
A folding screen is mounted on the wall as artwork behind a white cabinet.
*
Here is a closer look at the deep brown armchairs. Beautiful carvings and nailhead trim.
*
David Kaplan is the designer behind this beautiful home of blues and pinks:
*
This beautiful light blue living room is decorated very subtly paying close attention to pattern, texture and dimension.
*
I think this color palette is absolutely fantastic. The colors really play off of each other. Bright, but toned down.
*
Take a look at the different chairs on this room. Very sculptural.
*
David mixes a lot of metals and metal colors in this room. Just look at the coffee table with the gold picture frames. I really like how he painted the whole mantel the same color as the walls, and used a slightly deeper tone on the molding.
*
The dining area is the same wall color, it might possibly be an open plan solution with the living room. Even the window frames are blue. The black dining table is very visually heavy (and probably physically heavy too), but perfectly balanced out by very light feminine chairs and beautiful flowers and chandelier.
*
In open plan solutions I often notice wall paneling is used to define the living room, like in this one.
*
Beautiful dresser.
*
An accent wall in a stairway. Great idea to add some color and depth!
*
This modern apartment bedroom is designed by Beth Whitlinger and is done in a black and white theme:
*
Rooms that have a black and white theme often has white walls. I love how Beth chose a subtle beige instead, making the white details really pop!
*
On the wall opposite of the bed, Beth placed a desk. Disguised as a framed print is a flat screen TV! I really like how she created a very simple vignette on the desk. The objects cutting off some of the TV frame gives the impression of art instead of TV.
*
Michael Partenio is the photographer behind these beautiful pictures (click images to see full size on Michael’s site):
*
Gray walls, white trim and area rugs against dark hardwood floors, all contrasted with black furniture and spiced up with pops of yellow. Check out the mega vignette on the bookshelf, half the sea is fitted in there!
*
So many to die for details in this room. I’m definitely feeling the white crocodile skin ottoman coffee table. The room has a pretty dark base (walls/floor) and the white and yellow just pulls your eye across the room. What do you think about the metal chain side tables?
