Old Architecture Looks Like In Japan (30 Pics)
History, although not always correct, is very important to our society. Without it, there would be no traditions to follow today, culture to appreciate, or memories of our ancestors that we can learn so much from.
Instagram account Japan Property Central shares a really important part of history—architecture. Their photographers travel around Japan, capturing the oldest buildings and how they look. How they’re being used today. Many of them have been repurposed to be something else, like hotels, shops, or even homes.
The buildings are really beautiful and unique. The way they harmonize with the modern world around them is an amazing sight to see. These buildings are like monuments of history, a portal which transports you to old times.

We got an interview with Zoe. She told us the main goal behind these photos: “To share the interesting buildings and homes in Tokyo and other parts of Japan, and the history and stories behind them. The older homes may be at risk of being demolished and redeveloped, so I want to try and document them while they are still standing. Sometimes I am too late.”
“A tatami shop in Tsukiji, Tokyo. Built sometime in the 1920s or 1930s, and still seems to be operating today. The building is a great surviving example of the pre-war shophouses found in Tsukiji and around Tokyo’s other historic merchant districts. If you look at the roof line you can see a line of windows showing a 3rd floor or attic that may have been added at a later date.”
japanpropertycentral Report
Here’s how Zoe got into photographing these buildings: “Out of necessity. I run a real estate brokerage and the property photos we receive from listing agents do not always show the property in the best possible light. Many times there are no photos at all. Many of our buyers are foreigners and expect high-quality photos before they will decide to inspect a home or apartment, especially if they are flying in from overseas. Often I will have to go and take the photos myself. I am still very much a beginner at photography.”
“The entrance to the Edo Senke tea ceremony estate in Ueno, Tokyo. The buildings are historic, having been shifted here from a Daimyo’s mansion in the 1860s. Wooden tea houses are relatively easy to dismantle and relocate, and it wasn’t unusual for old buildings or even parts of them to be moved and reused. It still happens today on occasion. When people talk about Japan’s scrap-and-build approach to buildings, they are not referring to the traditional construction methods that last centuries. Alas, the grounds of this estate are privately owned and not open to the public.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“Futaba Sushi, Ginza. First opened in 1877. The current building dates from the 1950s. Note the sushi ‘yatai’ cart built into the ground floor, right in the center. Sorry, no photography allowed inside the restaurant.”
japanpropertycentral Report
Zoe shares the difficulties she runs into while capturing the photos: “Trying to get a shot without a car or van blocking the building. I usually wait until there are no pedestrians or cars in the frame. It might only be a few minutes, but other times I have to come back later. Another challenge is that the streets are often very narrow (some streets are just 2 meters wide), so you need a wide-angle lens for some locations.”
“Gion Shirakawa at dusk. This laneway is a cobblestone shortcut near Shirakawa River. If you follow it you’ll end up at Shijo Street.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“Kiyomizu-dera Temple and its hinoki wood stage. Founded in 778. I wonder if this is the quietest it has ever been in its 1200 year history. The main hall and stage were built entirely without the use of nails (or screws) in 1633. The wooden foundation pillars below stand 13 meters tall and are made from 400-year old trees.
The main hall was covered in scaffolding for over three years while the roof was redone, and only just removed in February 2020. It had been 50 years since the bark-thatched roof had been replaced.
Many of the buildings within the temple grounds date from the mid-1600s. There were a few fires up until that point that had destroyed the even older structures.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“In my free time, I like to explore different neighborhoods and share some stories about the interesting buildings I find along the way. If I have an afternoon or an evening free, I’ll go for a walk around all the back streets of a neighborhood in search of some interesting buildings. You are almost guaranteed to find a few no matter where you go. Sometimes I will have a particular house in mind, or be in the neighborhood checking out listings for sale and use it as an opportunity to explore a little and take some photos.”
Here is how Zoe describes her style: “Chaotic. The city is just a jumble of power lines, street signs, bicycles, and construction. I would love to take clean and uncluttered photos but I am realizing that it is impossible in Tokyo. I no longer notice all the transformer boxes and power lines anymore.”
“Once Upon a Time. A bar in a historic brick storehouse in Yushima, Tokyo. Built sometime in the late 1800s. The bar owner has been renting this space since the mid-1970s. Downstairs has a bar counter and tables, while the 2nd floor has an event space.
Not sure how much longer this historic building will remain standing. The property owner wants to demolish it rather than repair it, with news of its potential future demise first reported back in 2013. Last year there were stories that it would close in 2022.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“An old shophouse alongside the Ikenoue Shopping Street in Tokyo. This would have once had a shop on the ground floor, but has been converted into a private residence some time ago.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“It has always been a personal interest. There’s an assumption that Tokyo is a big metropolis of shiny glass buildings and neon lights, but it’s a very old city with lots of more humble, older, and traditional streets that don’t get featured in the tourist guides. Something is charming about them, especially when they have a very worn patina and are lived-in and cared for,” said Zoe about how she came up with the idea to photograph old buildings.”
I started putting more effort into my company’s Instagram account about three years ago. I still have a very long list of places to share and neighborhoods to visit. I don’t think I will be stopping any time soon.”
“The Ogawa Dorayaki Store alongside Asakusa-dori Avenue. Dorayaki is made from two pancakes or pikelets with red bean paste filling. This little shop was a hold-out, and is now sandwiched between a 13-story office building on all three sides.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“This shophouse was built in 1918 as a hardware store. At a later point it housed a bar and restaurant but has sat vacant for the past few years.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“There’s something about living in a constantly evolving city like Tokyo that is very energizing and motivating. There’s always something to see or somewhere to visit. It’s also a very safe and clean place to live, and it is incredibly easy to get around by train with no need for a car. Some of the architects and building designs are among the best in the world. My favorite ones are the weird and unusual homes often built on tiny plots of land in the middle of the city. You have to be very creative to come up with some of the designs, especially when the land itself might be just 50 square meters in size.”
“Café Sakanoshita – a charming place inside a 90-year old renovated kominka house. Closed on Mondays. Unfortunate timing!”
japanpropertycentral Report
“Tenyasu Tsukudani, a store selling simmered and preserved food since 1838. This shophouse was built in the 1920s. The streets would have once been lined with buildings like this.
This part of Tsukuda has a history going back 400 years, and is where the traditional tsukudani preserved food originated.”
japanpropertycentral Report
Here is what inspires Zoe: “Being able to continue to connect with all kinds of wonderful people who are also into Japanese architecture, new and old, and who like to explore different neighborhoods. The most unexpected and fun part is seeing sketch artists in other countries create amazing artwork from photos I posted.”
“Tsuruse traditional inn and kaiseki restaurant. Built from Hinoki cypress wood in the 1920s~1930s, but the restaurant has been operating even longer. The outdoor terrace dining deck along Kamo River is the largest of its kind in Japan, seating over 200.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The Philosopher’s Path (or walk). A peaceful path alongside the Biwa Canal. The historic canal was completed in 1890 and the 1.8-kilometer long walking trail was completed in 1968 thanks to efforts by local residents. It was named to honor Nishida Kitarō (1870-1945), said to be Japan’s most influential and significant philosopher of the 20th century. He would walk along this path each day on his way to teach at Kyoto University. He later moved to Kamakura, and his home there has been preserved to this day.”
japanpropertycentral Report
Zoe gives some advice to photographers and artists out there in the world: “It’s okay if you don’t know what you are doing or don’t have a particular goal with what you are currently doing. Do what makes you happy and gives you the most joy creating. Maybe it will lead you somewhere?”
“Tea House ‘Go-an’ by Terunobu Fujimori. Part of the Pavilion Tokyo 2021 / Tokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL being held in connection with the 2020 Olympics. Fujimori is known for his creative and often elevated tea house designs that are far from traditional. This one resembles a ‘yagura’ watchtower with a grass-covered base (the same turf used on race tracks) and burnt cedar walls. The ceiling is decorated with crushed cedar pieces. To enter, you must crawl through a small circular door at the rear and climb a ladder to the tea room upstairs. The tea house is a temporary structure and will be disassembled when the exhibit ends on September 5, 2021. Viewing the interior requires advance bookings.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“This group of three shophouses in Nihonbashi was listed for sale a little over a month ago for ¥149 million (US$1.35 million), and appears to have already sold, if the removal of all of the online listings is any indication. That means demolition is likely looming.
The terraces date from the 1920s or 1930s and are on Chuo City’s list of early 20th century modern architecture. Sadly being on that list, or having any type of official heritage recognition, doesn’t provide any legal protection to prevent these historic buildings from being demolished. A few from the list have been torn down in recent years, and more will follow. They are a wonderful example of kanban-kenchiku (#看板建築), or billboard style architecture.
The terraces sit on 92 sqm of commercially zoned land, and some suggested redevelopment plans for a 13-story block of 17 units with a potential gross yield of 8% have been provided. That’s a hugely impressive yield and a very low price for land like this. There’s a good reason, too – the land is leasehold. It’s the old, and almost perpetually renewable leasehold type, and the landowner is a major real estate company, so there is some stability with that type of landlord.
The majority of land in Tokyo and across Japan is freehold, but occasionally you might encounter a leasehold property. It’s really important that you fully understand the costs, pros and cons, and legal entitlements and obligations that come with leasehold properties, as they can easily be a source of disputes and troubles for the inexperienced.”

The author tells us more about herself and her journey: “I first moved here about 15 years ago, after growing up in a rural part of Australia. I first got involved in the real estate industry in Japan in 2008 and opened my own real estate brokerage company in 2014. I did not speak any Japanese when I first moved here but studied for a long time after I arrived. You need to be fluent to work in real estate here as all of the sellers and agents will only speak Japanese, and all of the documentation and legal explanations are also in the Japanese language only.”
“The Yasaka Pagoda in Hōkan-ji Temple, Kyoto. First built in 592. It was destroyed in a fire in 1191 that broke out after a dispute between Kiyomizu Temple and Yasaka Shrine and had to be rebuilt. In 1291 it was struck by lightning and rebuilt in 1309. It was lost again to a fire in 1436. The current pagoda dates from 1440, making it 581 years old. The foundation stone for the central pillar of the pagoda is said to be the original one from over 1,400 years ago.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“Fujiya Ryokan and its ‘kawadoko’ river floor dining set up for the hot summer months. These floating floors first appeared over the Kibune River in the 1910s~1920s and have become a summer tradition ever since. Several restaurants and ryokans along this section of the river set up these tatami dining areas each year.
Fujiya Ryokan has one of the longest histories in the area, having been founded in the 1830s~1840s. ”
japanpropertycentral Report
“If you do get the chance to visit Japan in the future, don’t be afraid to skip some of the over-touristy areas and explore some of the more local neighborhoods. Instead of Shibuya Crossing, for example, I would go for a wander to try all of the coffee shops around Yoyogi-Koen, a 15-minute walk north, or head a few stations over to Shimokitazawa for some vintage clothing. If you are into old architecture, there is the Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum in Tokyo and the Meiji-mura museum in Nagoya (highly recommended!). Otherwise, you can still see a few old buildings around Tokyo’s former merchant districts like Tsukiji and Nihonbashi.”
“The offices of a prune company near Shibuya Station. Designed by Yuzo Nagata on behalf of Takenaka Corporation and built in 1985. The facade is clad in small granite tiles. Nagata founded his own architectural practice that same year. His works are often statement pieces with detailed tiled facades. Several of his designs are large private residences, including one in Omotesando.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The former home of actor Denjiro Okochi, famous for starring in many samurai-themed movies. His two-hectare estate sits on the hillside just above the Arashiyama bamboo path and has sweeping views over Kyoto City. His main residence pictured above is called Daijokaku. It was built by Sukiya-zukuri master Kaichiro Usui and was completed in 1941.
The grounds are open to the public as the Okochi Sanso Garden, with an admission fee of ¥1,000 per person.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The Toranomon Osaka-ya Sunaba Soba Restaurant. The current building was completed just before the 1923 Kanto Earthquake, although the restaurant itself has been operating since 1872. It was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property in 2011.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The entrance to the Ro-an Teahouse in Shōsei-en Garden. The gate leads to a tea garden and represents the delineation of the serenity of the tea ceremony and the chaos of the world outside. This tea house was rebuilt in 1957. The garden and its structures were destroyed twice by fires, once in 1858 and again in the 1864 riot.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The former Mitsui Family Shimogamo Villa. Built in 1925, although part of the home dates from the 1880s, having been detached and relocated here from their other, larger villa near Sanjo Street (since demolished). The European-influenced part of the house was the newer portion built in 1925. Despite the grandeur, this home was built as a rest-stop for when they visited their ancestral shrine nearby. The property was transferred to the national government in 1949, and from 1951 to 2007 it was used as the official residence of the president of the Kyoto Family Court.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The merchant house of Nakashima Shokai. Built in 1928. The decorative sheet copper facade is a wonderful example of billboard architecture (kanban-kenchiku).”
japanpropertycentral Report
“A traditional setting in Tokyo’s Kanda district. An early postwar house now swamped by office buildings. Miraculously the sun is still able to shine down on the narrow laneway.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“Seikoro Ryokan, Kyoto. Established in 1831 as a traditional inn. The current buildings date from 1901 and 1921.”

Let us bring uplifting art into our homes in the form of enchanting paintings, extraordinary sculptures and interesting collections to enrich and transform our daily life. Take these two youthful home interiors for example, where a pepper of colorful art instills fresh charm, lively energy and a sense of childish fun.

Elegant woodwork and Classical Decor columns form a decorative backdrop for works of contemporary sculpture and unique accent furniture. Designed by Oksana Dolgopiatova, this 261 square meters, two-story apartment belongs to a couple and their two children. The customers were clear in their request to create a comfortable space that reflects their personalities and love for classic elements, industrial style, natural materials and modern art. Mixing different styles, textures and character within one apartment, a personalized and uniquely harmonious home design was created at the top of the 13-storey apartment building. The interior design has been completely rearranged to accommodate the needs of the new homeowners and to maximize the potential of the apartment.
The master suite is almost exactly halfway between the sleeping area and the en-suite bathroom. Black, white and gray patterned tiles of a bathroom mark the change in function of the oak wood floor bedroom. An elegant bedroom chair reinforces the separation of zones, along with a floor mirror and a small side table. Mirrored doors lead to the closet.
The eclectic mix of classical, industrial and artistic elements continues in the home office. An artistic plinth and floor lamp carry decorative elements to the side of a small sofa. The only plant stand is an Hourglass Pot of Ferm Living.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Natural wood accents and colorful artwork animate these four Brazilian home designs in Vitória, each expertly illustrated by Felipi Falcão. Open plan accommodations give these modern homes a welcoming, social atmosphere, which is confirmed in large dining rooms that are furnished to accommodate many guests. Conforming furniture is tailored, designed to take full advantage of the generous room dimensions to its greatest purpose. Atmospheric mood lighting softens the light interior decorating patterns and accentuates the warm wood grain elements that add texture and depth. Large windows also light up the interior with natural sunlight, along with beautiful views of Brazil.
In front of the sofa, an Ottoman coffee table is joined with two wooden and glass equivalents to make a long arrangement in the center of the living room. The wood-paneled TV wall is actually a sturdy structural wall that has become a determining factor in deciding the home layout. While the wooden upholstery warms up the light decor of the living room, soft mood lighting evokes an atmospheric, comfortable atmosphere.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Bohemian infusions to Scandinavian decoration mean more colors, more woven elements and more intricate patterns. Decorations and accessories take on a more natural aesthetic, with hints of world travel. In these four Scandi-Boho home interiors, the fusion of interior themes makes light and airy living spaces that communicate a connection with nature through indoor plants and a natural material palette. A sense of peace results from the natural vibrations, which are enhanced by earthy accents, handmade objects of interest and easy, windy arrangements. We will round off with a slightly brighter consideration of the aesthetics, where vibrant turquoises shake a quiet setting of white and wood tone.
Inside the bedroom, a Scandi wooden platform bed is dressed in deep shades of orange and shade in a boho print. Dark shady scattered cushions are layered at the head of the bed, under a picture frame filled with dreamy botanical art. A simple round mirror adorns the adjoining wall next to the window.

Modern Interiors: Classical Art & Sculpture as Centerstage

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Classical art and sculpture steal a central stage in these three modern home interiors, adding time to overcome attraction and intrigue. The art pieces absorb a character into their modern surroundings, build a culture and create a secular, sophisticated air. One of our home tours combines these classic art pieces with a colorful eclectic setting in Manhattan, where huge and luxurious rooms are full of decadence. Our second home tour takes place under dramatic arches that frame a gathering of modern furniture, contemporary lighting and traditional mural painting. Finally, the third home design we will tour will lead us to the future, where classic art will become the backdrop for a striking futuristic kitchen design and unique geometric furniture and accessories.
The large hall is divided into two separate hall areas. Behind the room, an L-shaped sectional sofa arrangement, two striking upholstered lounge chairs and a low-profile bench chair make up a social, conversational arrangement. A powerful, muscular bust guards the seat, while a floral mural gives a delicate balance.
In the luxurious dining room, a large marble dining table comfortably serves eight dinners. The chic, curved dining chairs are the Platner armchair designed by Warren Platner for Knoll.

The Relaxing Quality Of Rounded Shapes In Interiors

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
The rectilinear shape has dominated our modern homes for a long time, but it is curved shapes that more closely mimic our natural environment. Curved lines smooth our surroundings and calm our souls just as Mother Nature intended, so how can we embody this main theme into a modern interior space? These two contemporary home projects embrace and fuse curves into highly polished settings where a clear minimalist design reigns supreme. Pure linearity is always present, but the softness of round furniture silhouettes and racetrack decorative elements brings a consoling balance to every plan. Here we will explore the inspiration for the rounded shape in luxurious lounges, peaceful bedrooms and chic modern bathrooms.
Three unique dining room pendant lights make a spectacular display over the central dining island, hanging large drops of soft light along its length. An L-shaped kitchen installation occupies a corner at the end of the island, where a dark gray stone back spout connects with the surface of the island.

The Peaceful Joy Of The Japandi Aesthetic

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
The peaceful joy of Japanese aesthetics shapes these three modern home interiors, forming cohesive living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms. The combination of Scandinavian and Japanese decorative elements evokes a welcoming atmosphere that springs from warm neutral and natural materials. Practical arrangements are designed to serve and enhance daily life at home, ensuring easy operation and general tranquility. We will visit one family home full of natural light and soothing wood tones that also inspires a compact shared nursery. Later we arrive at a luxurious studio apartment of a couple with a quiet fusion of international and Japanese styles. Lastly, we will end up with a simple and elegant home with comfortable layers for quiet access.
Sunlight fills a double-level living room in our first Japandi-style home, creating a sense of positivity and well-being. The wooden platform base of a Japanese sofa perfectly matches the raised floor section to build one elegant line. Chabudai table and Zabuton floor cushions occupy the high position, with an elegant bookshelf providing an attractive and useful background.
The dining table is a built-in design that incorporates a large planter, bringing greens to the indoors. The dining chairs are the Armchair designed by Pierre Jeanneret.
Our second apartment is a 130 square meter detached house in Kyiv, Ukraine. The JP Residence was designed for a childless couple who wanted a quiet and comfortable fusion between international design and Japan’s unique aesthetic. In the living room, a long rectangular coffee table stretches in front of a sofa by Belle Reeve of De La Espada.
The home library has a custom ceiling bookshelf, designed by Men Bureau, which is constructed of wooden poles and marble planes that fit together without screws or bolts. Benchmark’s Muse Sofa extends its clean line into a side table at one end. The swinging arm lamp above it is Marset’s Gingerlight.

While the soothing serenity of neutral decor has its place and peaceful function, it is also a time for color, personality and the unexpected. Today we take a look at three amazingly unique and colorful home interiors that communicate strange creativity and delightful fun. Our first prominent home interior is a vibrant purple ibiza cushion with futuristic curves and fashionable terrace decorative elements. We are moving alongside Russia, where an interesting interior decoration scheme includes the rainbow in a small studio layout. Finally we climb to new heights of color embodiment in a home with a tailored red spiral staircase and green courtyard, and a host of modern furniture compatible.
Located in Ibiza, Spain, this unique and colorful home design measures 300 square meters. Inspired by the extraterrestrial landscapes of Lanzarote combined with the naturally bright colors of Ibiza, a bright futuristic interior was created. Lilac walls, a purple sofa and a matching ottoman give the space a vibrant basic color, while bright blue accents and a bold earthy plot enrich the scheme.
The bedroom area of the studio apartment is revealed behind a sliding bright orange screen. The interior of the bedroom is an unsaturated decorative pattern only gray and white. The purple kitchen cabinets continue down the hallway of the home, where they create a bright first impression at the front door. Textured area rugs match a comfortable color throughout the living room floor.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Small home interiors present both practical and stylistic challenges, but these two compact and functional interior projects have skillfully mastered their limited area. Each measuring a little less than 45 square meters, these two exceptionally small apartments have glass walls that expand the feeling of space and light to withstand strict dimensions. Chic modern decor features coherent color palettes that encourage a sense of peace and order. Each apartment design also manages to squeeze a dedicated laundry room inside a small bathroom, leaving no modern amenities accomplished. We’ve included the floor plans at the end of each tour to give you less space inspiration.
Measuring 43.5 square meters, our second small home is located on Svyato-Pokrovskaya street in Kyiv, Ukraine. A small, minimalist sofa gets more presence underneath 2-Arm Rotary Application designed by Serge Mouille. A suitable ottoman is decorated with a decorative tray arrangement.
The elegant gray dining chairs are the Beetle chair designed by Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi for Gubi.

51 Spiral Staircase Designs That Build A Unique Twist

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Often, spiral staircases are installed simply as a way to combat the problem of limited space, as they usually take up less space than a straight set. Thanks to their curved shape, they are also more suited to a more centralized position without causing an unpleasant pause in a free-flowing arrangement. That being said, the spiral staircase projects we are looking at here have either a big impact or a huge one in terms of their elegant modern stature. We’ll take a look at narrow wheels that explode with color, style and innovation, some larger spirals and spiral staircases that cut extraordinarily beautiful and sculptural silhouettes into their surroundings, as well as a selection of colossal feats of grand engineering.

Vivid Variations Of Red And Green Accent Decor

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
It’s an unusual combination for a two-tone accent scheme, but the vibrant collision of red and green is the one that pays off with spikes when balanced in the right tones. The three home interiors we focus on here deliver the red and green decorative palette in a variety of combinations. Our first outstanding home design is a rich rush of deep vermilion elements that surround coffins and pea-green accent pieces amidst a sea of fresh white. The power of the white background reigns within the elegant and artistically made burgundy and clever accent scheme of tour number two, and in our ultimate modern interior that lives under bright beats of the contrasting palette.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Linear concrete volumes build this elegant and luxurious home project of 1,260 square meters, located in Son Vida, Palma, Spain. Created by Osvaldo Luppi Architects, the luxury villa has extensive terraces that include a large outdoor swimming pool to enjoy under the Mediterranean sun. Outdoor living areas benefit from long days and warm nights on the south-eastern multi-level terraces that are stepped up to follow the topography of the hillside. Glass walls retreat to the outside with interior volumes, where pure white and gray walls and a golden wooden tone merge into amazing spaces. Be sure to watch the step-by-step video of this spectacular Mediterranean villa at the end of the tour.
The living room is an airy space with a simple yet elegant composition of modern living room furniture. An L-shaped sofa gently embraces the perimeter of a rounded rectangular coffee table, opposite a few rotating armchairs. A modern fireplace and wood shop cut darkly into the back wall, placing a contrasting stripe against the matte white paint.
Upstairs, a master suite and three bedrooms each have their own bathroom and balcony area. The door to the bathroom and closets are camouflaged inside a wall of smooth wooden panels in the master. Glass balustrade allows you to enjoy the majestic mountain side views of an outdoor chair, from the cushioned end of a bed bench, or when you have breakfast in bed.

Bright Blue Accent Interiors bring vibrant energy to these two unique home. Bold artwork and contemporary furniture choices form a beautiful aesthetic that keeps the eye engaged and the mind open.

An attentive blue and yellow regional rug sends energy through the living room of our first prominent home. A pair of nesting coffee tables lay a soothing full-white accent on the dense pattern, and clean white sheets dress the windows. A Seleti-style Simia lamp playfully swings between the folds of the curtain.

Warm Interior Decor With Comforting Soft Forms

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Comfortable soft curves and a fusion of Warm Interior Decor make up these two quiet modern interiors. Touchscreen curves form the main furniture and spotlights create a calming and peaceful setting for all that everyday life has to bring. Our first outstanding home design travels to us with marble, raw stone and wood lattice texture, easy natural color tones and chic design touches. Our second home tour is an elegant and spacious modern residence with a real focus on comfort. Cushioned soft lounge furniture, a roaring modern fireplace, three relaxing bedroom projects and a dreamy artist living room will make you never leave.
The modern tufted chair is the lounge chair designed by Viggo Boesen for & Tradition.
A wooden mouarabi screen divides the hall from the hallway while allowing a light part between the two zones. Modern wall lighting causes a subtle glow in the home entrance, illuminating a decorative wall mirror, a modern puff and April side table by Alfredo Häberli for Nikari.
As we enter our second warm and comforting home project, we discover more soothing curves under a soft monochrome. A large area rug sets a soft base for the conversational seating arrangement. The TV can be hung in this room, but the chairs and sofa positions tell us that interaction is key in this comfortable home.

Neoclassical Interior Spliced With Sage Green & Pink Decor

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
A lovingly preserved historical heritage brings Neoclassical Interior complexity to this exquisite apartment that overlooks Bolshoi Prospect, in the very heart of the Petrogradka district of St. Petersburg, Russia. Displayed by Rindes, this elegant apartment features original crown molding and deeply decorative stucco molding through impressive high ceilings. Wainscotting has been manipulated to disguise interior doors, and unique paint effects distort spatial perception under a subtle muted sage green and red pink palette. Curly, contemporary furniture and modern decorative accessories create a clean juxtaposition against the more decorative elements, while striking modern lighting fixtures add a fresh sense of grandeur. A floor plan is included at the end of the home tour.
The regularly spaced modern wall lamps are inspired by a traditional candle lamp. The lights accentuate smart theft, which is covered in a chic crown. A traditional fireplace received an upgrade with a coat of bright sage green paint. The soft accent color inspires life in the delicate chamber palette.
Opposite the sofa, a floating TV carries a fashionable ribbed aesthetic under a luxurious black marble top. A decorative vase slightly adds to the linear piece that connects it with a frame of exquisite woodwork. Glass doors on either side of the TV wall show a bit of a second living room area with a delicate red-pink painted fireplace.

Two Art Focussed Neoclassical Home Interiors

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Between a set of classic panel and decorative woodwork, we find a counterweight of modern furniture and unexpected color palettes in these two glorious neoclassical style home interiors. Classical art makes statements of shrewd taste and a certain social status, while contemporary influences testify to forethought and awareness of moving trends. Our first art-focused neoclassical home design is an elegant portrayal of fashionable arches that effortlessly bridge the gap between classic design influences and new ideas. Our second prominent home interior unleashes a jaw-dropping fall of brightly colored collisions of the pink and green spectrum, and fuses trendy ribbed texture and racing motifs within traditional walls.
Located in St. Petersburg, Russia, this neoclassical interior is styled with a chic Parisian touch. Arched lines form an elegant theme throughout and captivate the eye to spotlights like this portrait of Lady With Ermine by Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. Stone plaster, mixed wood tones and brass finishes build the basic palette.
An entrance island makes a grand centerpiece among multiple arched features. A custom-cut mirror fills one of the interior arches, to create a tailored vanity area along with a clean white floating console table, compatible with a vanity stool and brass Atoll-lightning. A unique entrance bench extends under two decorative wall mirrors that reflect additional light into the space.
In our next prominent home interior, we meet up with a loud color palette of living room. La Imola chair by Henrik Pedersen for BoConcept and an extensive carpet put bright magenta accents. Classic artwork sits within traditional panel molding. Decorative woodwork frames the wall TV.
Emerald upholstery wraps around a chic toilet and a matching vanity stool. An elegant double-headed swing wall lamp provides practical, abundant task lighting over the integrated vanity mirror. Brass accents thread a brilliant luxury through the furniture and decorative accessories. An arched, ribbed glass door connects the dressing room to the main room.
