Patterns and Colors Collide in Vivid New York Loft
When fascinating patterns and colors collide, inspiration is born. With extensive experience in the design field, well-known designer Karim Rashid strikes again. His bold works are once again showcased in this colorful apartment in New York City. Three spacious rooms located at the crossroads of Chelsea and the West Village’s meatpacking district were designed and furnished by the designer, composing an extravagant interior design focusing on matching patterns, textures and colors. Spreading over almost 2,000 square feet, the loft gathers expressive details under the 12′ ceilings. Modern furniture part of Karim’s portfolio adorned the white rooms, creating a unique display of comfortable spaces and demanding undivided attention. Glossy floors in the kitchen reflect natural light filtered through tall windows and patterned space separators alongside a pink rug define the vivacious living space. Already rented, the fascinating space seen on Afflante remains as an inspiration source for those who love vivid colors and bold patterns.

Cozy Gothenburg Crib Insisting On Showcasing Its Vivid Colors
Linnéstaden is filled with spectacular apartments, some created with elegant details, other displaying exuberant design lines. Occupying 100 square meters in a building dating back to the 1900s, this cozy crib shelters beautiful residential spaces all throughout. Fine details compose a breathtaking little home, combining modern furniture and revamped original details. A new open plan kitchen is separated from the dining space by a small bright hallway. Two balconies facing one east and one west make sure you get closer views of the surroundings, then return inside to benefit from a colorful, welcoming space. In the dining room, a splendid fireplace captures all the attention, while moving on to the living space, we notice the same colorful, cheery note. The bedroom is simply magnificent! I love how the bed aligns with the terrace and regret not seeing a photo from the bed side towards the wall with photos and magazines on shelves. All in all, this is a modern little dream apartment for anyone who wants to live in Gothenburg, seen at Alvhem.

Fresh Apartment with Vivid Colors in Hong Kong :The RAINBOW House
We recently received a welcoming and colorful home design by Max Lam, the Chief Designer of Moderne . According to the press release they sent us, the Rainbow House is a “830 sqf flat at The Cairnhill in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. The entire concept is inspired by a RAINBOW. The main colours of this home are green, yellow and red. The rainbow goes from the living room to the dining room, from walls to ceilings, thoroughly decorates 11 feet high ceiling, and then goes over the hidden room door. The unique stainless steel lamps together with the colourful settings, contribute to a sharp and trendy environment. Max combined the two rooms into one, in order to enlarge the space. A green wall and an orange wall make a strong contrast, which lead to a conceptual differentiation between bedroom and study room. The built-in white shelves, desks and high cabinet in the study room are simple and functional. All the 60’s and 70’s contemporary modern classical furniture came from designer’s invaluable collection from many European countries, including designer pieces by Joe Colombo, Rodolfo Bonetto, Olaf Von Bohr, Marc Newson, Anna Castelli Ferrieri, Giotto Stoppino, Erik Magnussen, etc. All these classics make an inspiring contribution to the playful and colourful Rainbow House.” Freshome readers, would you live in an apartment with this much color?
