Mid-century modern encounters a crash of contemporary and classic decorating themes in these three home projects. Each exquisite interior takes a sip of many eras and styles to create interesting combinations that excite the eye. We first travel to a lake house that includes an eclectic combination of elements to form a chic and sophisticated home, and classic art pieces absorb culture. Our second tour takes place under ornate ceiling roses and intricate cover, where graceful window arches inspire curved furniture silhouettes juxtaposing sturdy mid-century pieces. Our final featured home has an ethereal white scheme in which modern gold and marble accents are mixed with antique style chairs and traditional sculpture for an attractive result.
Located next to a small lake in Spain, this elegant home has been designed to limit the need for artificial light sources and instead benefits from a natural setting of the tranquil landscape.
An L-shaped modern sofa cuts a linear silhouette around the living area of the open concept living space. Creamy soft furniture and white walls paint a peaceful and dreamy scheme.
Thin candles and a trio of black candlesticks make a high table decoration next to a short stack of coffee table books.
A black fireplace balances the dark color of the modern coffee table, forming a more traditional atmosphere.

Proceeding under a wide archway, we move into the free kitchen dining room. A large dining room lamp hangs a translucent paper shade that allows the natural light and landscape to shine through the window behind it.
The spherical dining room lamp completes a round pedestal dining table beneath it, where a decorative glass vase adds a beautiful botanical ornament. Mid-century dining chairs surround the white dining table with boldly contrasting black upholstery and dark wooden frames.
Behind the dining room, solid white doors hide kitchen appliances. A long kitchen island with traditional pearls stretches ahead.
Rectangular displays precede a number of decorative cabinets on each side of the kitchen, where cutlery and wine glasses can be aesthetically displayed.
A black kitchen faucet sharply contradicts with the pure white marble counter.
Our next tour takes place in a 106-square-foot home, where ornate ceiling roses and intricate cover crown a room that is bordered by graceful arched windows. The classic architectural arches inspire an interior layout of curved furniture silhouettes, including a curved sofa, a round coffee table and a large round rug.
The curved living room furniture juxtaposes sturdy mid-century pieces in an open layout.
A high arch gate connects two rooms, creating a beautifully framed vignette on either side.
The dining room is furnished with the Armchair designed by Pierre Jeanneret in the 1950s for the famous modernist city of Chandigarh, India, designed by Le Corbusier, Jeanneret and their team.
The rustic furniture set makes a textual contrast with an elegant modern one wall kitchen.
Curved cabinets round off the ends of the kitchen run to complete the interior architecture.
A pocket door appears inside one of the arched doorways to give the bedroom privacy.
In the minimalist bedroom, a rustic platform bed faces a pair of beautiful arched windows. A home workshop extends under the glass.
A slim floor lamp and a gold side table make chic bedside accompaniments. A striking marble wall rises behind the headboard.
Behind the screen of solid marble develops a delicate bathroom, with a luxurious light gray stone resin bathtub and shiny pale gold appliances.
A small side table serves toiletries to the tub, while the modern gray canvas is equipped with a concealed cupboard above the sink.

Designers Show How The White House Could Have Looked Different If These 5 Plans Weren’t Rejected
We are all accustomed to the look of the White House, and most of us appreciate its modest neoclassical design. In 1792, the first president of the United States George Washington held a contest for the design of the White House, which an Irishman James Hoban won. But the seat of the world’s most powerful nation might look different. Many architects offered their own versions of the White House, including polyhistorical president Thomas Jefferson, who lived in the same White House nearly 10 years after the contest. But as with all competitions, the winner is long remembered, and the ideas of the losers are almost always forgotten. These rejected plans remained obscure, until HouseFresh decided to revive them in digital form and show us what the White House could be like. So look!
Jefferson’s plan for the White House
Thomas Jefferson was Secretary of State at the time, and closely involved with the management of the competition. But he was also an architect and an enthusiast of classical European design. Experts attribute a losing entry with the name “Abraham Faws” to Jefferson. The “real” Faws sent their own, amateur entry, and Jefferson’s anonymous project was later attributed to Faws due to a clerical error.
Jefferson would move to the White House as president in 1801, describing the mansion as “large enough for two emperors, one pope and the great lama.” However, he couldn’t help but expand it, adding an arcade and other features to form the White House as it looks now.
Philip Hart’s plan for the White House
The competition to design the White House was part of a broader challenge to suggest architecture for Washington’s powerful headquarters. Phillip Hart was an amateur architect – more likely a professional builder – who submitted proposals for both the president’s house and the Capitol.
Hart’s White House repeats its vaguely absurd capitol sketches. The abbreviated upper floor and faux-Renaissance style lacks the style and complexity that Washington wanted from a building that should, “in terms of size, shape and elegance … look beyond the present.”
Andrew Mayfield’s plan
Andrew Mayfield Carshores was a linguist and former British soldier and teacher. Its simple design reflects pre-revolutionary military architecture, characterized by the colonial period of American buildings Georgian, English.
Carshore’s steep roofs border a lead footpath, with a rainwater reservoir in the roof of the main block. But the judges lacked a vital spark to his work. According to architectural historian Hugh Howard, Carshore was an ‘amateur gentleman’ and his rejected entrance may be the only building he has ever designed.
Jacob Small’s plan
Jacob Small submitted four entries to the 1792 contest. Author Patrick Phillips-Shrock points out that the designs of the Small White House were inspired by two iconic buildings of that time: Mount Vernon, George Washington’s plantation mansion, and the Maryland State House in Annapolis.
A small one connects the stable and kitchen blocks to the main house with arcades. But its labyrinthine interior of corridors and mysterious stairs would be unpleasant for the president. Interestingly, Little envisioned oval-shaped rooms for the White House – but he failed to integrate them into his broader design in any significant way.
James Diamond’s plan
Originally from Ireland, James Diamond was an architect and builder. The White Diamond House stands around a rectangular courtyard. However, Diamond notes of his project that “the Open Court can be changed to a Picture Gallery and Illuminated from the Top, which would have a great Effect.”
Diamond’s design incorporates complex design elements such as Ionic columns and window frames covered with pediments. But the stairs are located awkwardly away from the entrance, and the overall size is supposed to be too ornate for George Washington’s tastes.

Slatted panels and natural stone bring a deep and luxurious texture to this chic modern home design, pictured by ArtPartner Architects. The text decoration is smoothed with curved furniture lines and graceful classic arches within the high ceiling architecture. Large living spaces radiate elegance under a delicate tonal color palette of warm Belgians and soft browns. Copper accents add a rich and shiny element within the attractive kitchen design, where a stone island sets a solid anchor in front of a kitchen run hidden behind lattic doors. The text theme matches across all, with lined feature walls clearly countering curves at every beautiful turn of the sumptuous residence and an impressive master bedroom.
A curved sofa embraces the living room perimeter with a swing of soft deer brown. Combines modern seating and ottoman point circular accompaniments.
In front of the curved sofa, a round coffee table creates a core for the loose furniture layout. A circular chandelier carries the curved shaped theme to the ceiling.
Modern wall applications are paired vertically behind the sofa to form a decorative column of soft atmospheric light. A contemporary lamp sits low at the armchair to distribute even brightness.
The large modern chandelier benefits from the impressive ceiling height in the living room. Surface mounted floodlights ensure practical spacious lighting.
Natural woven carpet softens the wood laminate flooring.
The TV wall includes a tailored wall bookcase that shows only glimpses of the home library from behind dark wooden lattice doors.

Wall mounted OLED TV stands as a pride among the floating bookshelves.
The dining room is a chic, sophisticated layout with a delicate palette of deer and gray. Light brown upholstered dining chairs surround a cool stone dining table with moments of visual warmth.
The rounded silhouette of the dining room chandelier and the curved rear dining chairs complete a row of classic arched windows. Venetian blinds fall in front of the arched glass, where they cause an interesting cross effect against a surrounding wall of ribbed paneling.
An attractive botanical ornament adds a wild hue to the refined food. Feather feathers of pampas grass make a tonal connection with the brown padded dining chairs.
The kitchen is an attractive space set under a high sloping ceiling with large velvety windows that drizzle abundant natural light.
The light from the velvet windows is perfectly positioned to play on two shiny copper kitchen drawers, causing a spectacular glow.
A tiled floor is formed in an arch beneath the beautiful solid stone kitchen island to honor the home’s architectural arches.
Dining chairs are set up along the edge of the kitchen island to form a breakfast room.
An inserted induction hob brings the cook to the diners.
Ribbed plaster panels texture a characteristic wall against the island, around the bay window of the kitchen.
A small seat is arranged in the bay window as a place to watch or watch reading under the unique floor lamp.
A small side table offers a place to cook tea or coffee.
Behind the kitchen island, the remaining kitchen cupboards are revealed from behind a wall of capped doors that match perfectly with the bookshelves in the living room.
A copper kitchen faucet melts hot with the brown cabinets and a coordinating counter.
Advancing into the private pattern, the color palette cools to a completely gray scheme. A gray and white houndstothoth rug is spread out under the gray bed, and a gray bedroom chair occupies the corner.
Elegant arched windows gracefully jump beside the bed. Modern round bedside tables complete their perfect curves.
The deep headboard multitasking like a bookshelf and a comfortable bedroom workbench that remains peacefully hidden from view. A curved back seat dives just below the surface of the incognito desk, staying neatly out of sight.
The bed is angled to a large balcony and an amazing wide open view.
A wall of fluted glass separates the sleeping space from the bedroom entrance, and forms a comfortable screen around a comfortable seat.
Sculpting hanging lights descend on the seat, where a planter of pampas grass rises softly to highlight its texture and color.
A change in floor covering takes place under the two club seats, to mark a change of function.
A slimline additional floor lamp provides a reading light next to the bed.
Lightweight switches and convenient charging points are framed directly into the deep multifunction headrest.
Textile botanical displays soften the corners of the room, while plaster wall panels preserve modern clean lines.
Ribbed, lute and flute materials make a linear counterpoint with the arched windows and doors in the home architecture.
An arched doorway with a dramatic deep reveal gives an impressive first impression at the home entrance. An arched mirror reproduces the aesthetic.
In the luxurious bathroom, linearity reigns supreme with ribbed single facies and a sharply square vain mirror.
