Stone Patio Furniture Idea

Set against a wonderful, but rough stone background, this patio furniture comes into its own. An idea by Paola Lenti, the furniture is soft and welcoming, instantly transforming the cold, hard environment into an oasis of relaxation. The contrast serves to emphasise the comfort of the patio furniture… daybeds, large wicker armchairs, and even a full size sofa are all scattered with plump cushions for you to sink into. The colours chosen here have very different effects. The buff and beige complements the grey concrete and blend naturally in to create a soothing space. The rich burgundy, on the other hand, warms up the environment and adds a hint of romance and spice. Make the outdoors more livable with this and other ideas by Paola Lenti of comfortable, durable patio furniture that is at home both inside and out.

Outdoor Lighting Ideas

Illuminate the outdoors with these lighting ideas from Antonangeli. A private courtyard or garden can take on an air of intimacy and beauty with the right lighting and furniture. It’s so unusual to see a lamp with a traditional shade outdoors – but these resin glass shades are made to withstand the weather. Here, the glowing Miami standing lamp is the centre of attention – perhaps angled over a smart-looking table so you can read or enjoy a meal with your family. Or, line a path with a row of the standing lamps to welcome and guide your guests. Simply add some casual, yet classy chairs to complete the look. The chairs shown here combine a certain elegance with an open, criss-cross construction – a look which complements the refinement the Miami light can add outside. Create a cosy environment just like your living room with Antonangeli modern lighting inspiration!

Contemporary Furniture Inside Traditional Walls

Rich, romantic, elaborate and….. modern? This design is a perfect example of the blending of two separate decorative styles – in this case, two styles from separate centuries. The striking walls are reminiscent of eighteen century France with its high ceilings, plastered walls and ornate carvings. The furniture is undoubtedly very modern, and includes pieces by Studio Roche Bobois. The leather hide from the Cinephile sofas (Collection Particulière) directly opposes the romantic and grandiose setting. Sleek side table pieces and smooth accessories are used throughout the room, which are in contrast with the traditional carved and gilded motifs in low relief on the wall. A pure white and dark brown palette with silver accents is sure to stand out against the soft pale colours of the wood and plaster surrounding it. The result is a look that transcends centuries and challenges our perception of contemporary.

Stunning Stone Art Divider Wall with Salto Sofa

Open-concept designs are sought after these days. However, despite their airy and freeing atmosphere, it can be difficult to define each living space due to the wide area and endless possibilities. This design incorporates a spectacular stone art as divider wall to separate the rooms. It is nowhere near as imposing as a regular wall and offers more visual appeal through its ripple or tree ring effect. The stone divider combines the idea of wall and art into a unique mural that more than defines the perimeter of the space – it becomes the focal point and governs the overall design. The shaggy rug adds texture to the sleekness of the space, and the globular accessories provide an interesting contrast of shape and dimension. This design also includes a contemporary Salto sofa by Roche Bobois made of smooth Tendresse leather in a snow white colour.
