This is the loft of interior designer Frédéric Méchiche’s in Le Marais

^ ooh! I quite like that apartment. Perhaps a bit sterile because of the lack of colour, but very, very chic nonetheless. I like the individual pieces of furniture. Thanks 1karina1!

Usually, I like more color, in a place, but Frédéric Méchiche's apartment is really beautiful, and I actually quite like the simple color palette in this case.

And I especially like the red cross on the wall, and the black crosses on the pillows...I like crosses.

What is that though, at the far left of photos three and six, and to the far right in photo five? Some kind of modern art piece, I suppose? I really like the shape of it. I find it quite visually appealing, rather eccentric but having it in black and white offers sophistication to what could be rather tacky (if done in loads of bright colors).

Thanks for sharing these photos with us, 1karina1!

Meg , check out this blog Door Sixteen http://www.doorsixteen.com/category/house/ - it follows a couple in Newburgh and their continuing home renovation

I came across these pics on this photographer's website. I thought the rich colours and textures in all of them are so inspiring.

wow amazing post 1karina1! I especially love the last few..

looking at all of these colorful spaces makes me realize I could never have a minimalist home.. It just needs to have some warmth and kitsch!

1karina1, I absolutlely adore that image of the bed with the beautiful lights/art work hanging over it.

This loft needs some life added to it with some great furniture, but I love the interesting shapes:

“Loft Gleimstrasse is the transformed room of a typical 19th-century building into ‘unfolded cocoon for an open mind.’” An open mind indeed. The loft needs someone ready to live in a futuristic-shaped space. Someone infatuated with curvaceous walls and corners. Someone like us! We would gladly take it into the future and move to this rooftop loft that lies in the heart of one of Europe’s fabulous cities–Berlin. Designed by GRAFT, many of the rooms like the living room, bedroom, and the kitchen are designed with openness in mind.

The rooms’ actual components and furniture like sofas, closets, and staircases are hidden in a sculptural wall construction. The kitchen, carved of a single block, is the heart of the loft. A sneaky feature: Folding windows and doors are used on the northern and southern facades which can be completely opened to extend the space with two 13-meters balconies. We would gladly curl up in many of the cocoon or cubbyhole nooks, like the one pictured at the bottom.

Same here. I love to be surrounded by things....

My apt is books, pics and knick knacks galore and I couldn't live without some bright walls throughout the place.
