Design ideas for the Chalet K2 stem from a place that is somewhere between old-world glamour and new-world modern charm. First of all, the color scheme is quite monochromatic (representing the modernity end of the spectrum) – most everything is decorated in shades of silver, gray, and white; with lovely bursts of red décor. A giant, shiny silver bathtub; a gleaming indoor pool area; flat-screen TVs; a touch of modern art; the high presence of glass – all contribute to a very modern, sleek, stylish feel.

However, there is also a perfect sense of warmth to balance out any of modernity’s coldness. Loving, natural light streams through windows and refracts off the high wooden beams, plush couches and beds abound, and the touches of red are present everywhere. All of this helps to convey a feeling of stylish coziness – the Chalet K2 is certainly not a tiny log cabin in the woods, but it isn’t a stark museum of modern art, either. Instead, this gorgeous French luxury chalet is a wonderful balance of sophistication and warmth – a truly unique feel for a high-class chalet.

The walls are stone – big, thick slabs of stone that recall a much simpler time. The living area is outfitted with a gorgeous stone fireplace, and the tables are all wooden and lovely. Fresh flowers and fruit adorn many of the surfaces, and an inspired old vintage trunk sits at the foot of a searing white couch. This living room décor is so simple, yet so elegant, that it is truly like seeing another world.

The bedrooms are layered with fine, crisp white linens and flowered curtains – the aesthetic is old without being old-fashioned, homey without being too cutesy. A long wicker table flanks the end of one of the beds, while a sole framed sketch of flowers hangs on the wall – completing the simple, elegant look.

In the enclosed outdoor dining area, charming little lanterns hang from the ceiling, overlooking the loveliest of wicker furniture, snow-white tablecloths, and heavy wooden tables. Light silently streams in through the open windows, and one can catch a glimpse of the greenery and cobblestone streets that abound below. There is simply no shortage of charm in this antique, pure, stylish space. To garner a truly Old-World experience, a visit to this quaint little country hotel is a must.

Loads of inspiration for stone house design can be gained from this truly matchless space. The home still holds some of the original countryside allure, but it has been completely modernized and renovated with the perfect contemporary furniture and simple, clean lines. Beautiful stonework, natural wood and tile create a fresh atmosphere while contemporary furniture, like the black and red leather sofas, complete the space.  A huge white dining table that can seat eight matches the white walls, white lamps and white woodwork of the ceilings that contrast brilliantly with the dark gray and black accents.

Large wood barn doors that can be slid open to let the beautiful Spanish sunshine inside the home create a warm open environment. An open design continues into the bathroom where sustained stonework gives the bathroom a real earthy ambiance. The sinks are especially unique – they are made of handcrafted stone.

A unique outdoor fountain gives the home an elegant feel. Gray stone in the fountain and on the exterior of the home contrast well with the greenery of the outdoor space. The long rectangular pool is ideal for exercising and finalizing the exterior of the countryside home. What a beautiful area to sit down and have a glass of wine and contemplate the day’s work.

The illuminated bathtubs are made out of polyethylene, a substance that is moldable and perfect for letting the colored lights shine through brightly and clearly. Polyethylene is 100 percent recyclable, which makes the tub eco-friendly and green, and they are very light which makes shipping and placement a breeze. They can even be moved easily. Wide and deep enough for comfort, the bathtubs can be ordered in a variety of sizes and dimensions. Tubs comes with a remote and interchangeable batteries. The illuminated bathtubs look stellar in white, blue, pink, green, red or a variety of other colors to fulfill your modern bathroom design. They can also be ordered without the lights, but why skip out on such a cool feature? The lighting can create an ambiance perfect for any contemporary space whether is indoors or outdoors. Illuminated sinks are also available from the designer. They are perfect to complete the look and continue the ambiance to the sink. Now you can not only bath in beautiful illumination, but you can also wash you hands in the gorgeous light. There is no longer a need for a little nightlight in the bathroom. Just turn on the sink or the tub with your remote control!

The apartment’s predominantly white interior provides the perfect backdrop for plenty of fun, whimsical, colorful touches. In the living area, brightly colored lanterns hang stacked upon one another, and hot pink and aqua blue pillows decorate the cushy white couch and chair. The computer area/study is outfitted with a funky lime-green chair and a string of lovely small posters that hang above the computer. In the kitchen, pops of color occur in the form of green plants, fresh flowers, and cornflower blue kitchenware. Both the bedroom and bathroom are immaculately designed, with plenty of colorful fabrics and fun textures to balance out the starkness of the whitewashed walls and floors. There is even a cozy, attractive balcony that hangs to the east, overlooking Gothenburg’s bustling city center. This space is truly exquisite, with its violet, flower-patterned pillows, plethora of rugs, and flowers bursting from every surface. The mere dream of spending days soaking up spring and summertime on this balcony would get any Swedish citizen through the cruelest of winters.

In short, this cheery apartment design is a true find – it achieves an amazing balance between luxury design and cheerful comfort, as well as a unique take on an all-white interior. A feeling of true happiness practically radiates from every corner of this brightly inviting space.

For starters, it’s not even enough to remark that this house employs a white color scheme – in fact, virtually every space in the Kensington House is some shade or variation of white. The carpets, bedspreads, walls, and most furniture are all bone-colored. Of course, there are various pops of color in some spaces – plush, pink pillows dot the bed in one room, a colorful flower-patterned rug adorns the carpet of another room. In addition, while this home is certainly elegant, it isn’t stuffy or old-fashioned. On the contrary – with its somewhat funky designs and decor (a big, iron mirror is covered in swirls; glowing white balls on strings hang from the ceiling in lieu of a chandelier in the dining area, spotlights rain down on a 70’s era-inspired velvety blue couch), the Kensington House is a lovely mixture of contemporary and vintage design.

Thanks to this truly unique interior design, it’s as if each room is brimming with its own special character. None of the rooms are alike – in fact, they are all quite different from another; all have distinctive features and lovely little touches. However different they are, though, all of the rooms function together; they help to create one giant, ultimately pleasing overall aesthetic. The Kensington House is definitely one-of-a-kind when it comes to architecture and white interior design.

Design ideas for the Black Pearl clearly take their cues from the chalet’s architectural aesthetic – the décor is very classic and elegant, very French. The monochromatic color scheme is black, white, and tan – further lending to the feeling of sophistication and class.  The living area is, of course, outfitted with a lovely fireplace and cozy wraparound couch (ideal for all those hot chocolate nights after sailing down snowy slopes), along with plenty of attractive touches to add pops of color and light.

Speaking of light – this particular chalet doesn’t feel darkened or isolated, as a cabin might. Instead, this space benefits from its wide array of huge windows that let in plenty of natural light, further adding to the home’s spaciousness. One certainly wouldn’t feel closed off in this kind of space.

The kitchen is expansive, and equipped with the kind of gleaming, silver appliances that are to be expected in such a luxurious space. Both the bedrooms and bathrooms are sparsely designed, with simple yet classic bedspreads and wall hangings – all of it chic, all of it effortless. The dining area is a vision, with its long, shining black table and glamorous centerpieces. One could imagine dining and laughing for hours with friends or family at this elegant table – or anywhere else in this stylish, luxury chalet.

The floors of the apartment are both tiled and wood, with beautifully textured rugs artfully placed in most rooms. Apartment décor ideas are clearly focused on providing a general ambience of the utmost in class and sophistication – you’ll find no cutesy knickknacks or juvenile decorations here. It’s truly an adult living space, with an energy that borders on the straighter side of masculinity, with its heavy wood tables and chairs, sparse design, and general lack of pretense.

That isn’t to say, of course, that the décor lacks in any way – rather, this wide-open space truly benefits from employing such an elegantly stark aesthetic. Each room is made to feel even bigger than it is, even more spacious and clean. Giant bookshelves cover the wall of one room, while lovingly potted plants are placed on various surfaces throughout the space, giving off a very homey, lived-in vibe. A feeling of coziness permeates throughout the apartment  – lovely golden light filters through every nook and cranny, thanks to both the natural light, as well as artificial lighting provided by the dozens of lamps and skylights that abound. The attic, in particular, is warm and inviting – every area feels infused with light and coziness.

The apartment’s whitewashed, wooden color scheme further accentuates the attractive furnishings and design, rendering this living space both sophisticated and yet infinitely approachable.  This is the picture of true chicness in apartment design.

The living space is outfitted with plenty of colorful pillows and chairs, all ranging along the same soft color spectrum – lots of lavenders, pale greens, and light pinks allow for a warm and inviting look. These house decorating ideas, along with the few lovingly-placed vases of pure white flowers and potted plants, imbue the room with a true sense of stylish comfort – one dreams of having cozy nights curled up on these plush couches, or spending hours in the lovely dining nook laughing and talking with friends.

The airy, light-filled kitchen is another well-designed space. Copper plates and kitchenware abound, providing a lovely complement to the long wooden shelves and stove area. Any budding foodie or lifelong cooking fiend would feel right at home in this spacious, beautiful space. This kitchen demonstrates the fact that the key to a well-designed kitchen space involves creating a very light and open feel.

The bedroom is quietly unassuming, not too showy, and absolutely adorable. The low-level bed serves as the centerpiece of the room, outfitted with a cherry-red and tan bedspread and bright red pillows. The only other décor is the small library of books that are lined up on the small wooden shelf at the foot of the bed.

Bursts of complementing color in the form of well-placed pillows, chairs, and other touches are this home’s interior design stroke of genius – for a truly cozy and lovely feel, color is key.

The great thing about Elmar’s designs is the fact that there is way more than what meets the eye. The extra countertop space that can be pulled out and pushed in when it is not needed is ideal to save space in a kitchen with minimal detail. This leaves room for more movement in the small space. The ideal minimalist kitchens provide ample storage to hide away most things from sight and ensure an open, clear space. Not only does the design allow for plenty of storage space, but the shelf features provide a sort of display for accessories.

Minimalist kitchens, like the one in the pictures, are usually preferred for their contemporary look. White countertops, floors and walls are complemented by stainless steel touches. The wood also brings some color and life into the white space making it a focal point of the kitchen. Wood tables like this are not generally seen in modern or entirely white kitchens, but it works for this space because it is a light wood with crisp, round edges. The only drawback to the space could be the cleaning it takes to keep the room looking white and shiny!
