Provide the ultimate in privacy—and design a space you'll love—with these beautiful courtyard design ideas.
Una estancia rural con el marco de las montañas Camelback a sus espaldas, en el Valle Paraíso. El estudio de Arquitectura Oz diseñó esta casa familiar con carácter, combinando elementos antiguos y recuperados. Se usaron materiales recuperados como una escalera de 400 años y puertas de 300 años de antigüedad. En el exterior primó la piedra del lugar, creando espacios para disfrutar que se interconectan entre si, una chimenea en la galería, un patio con fuente, sillones que siguen un cerco de piedra, pileta con solarium, todo con el marco de las montañas, que deben su nombre al contorno con forma de joroba de camello. El diseño interior tiene un carácter limpio y moderno sin ocultar o disminuir la fuerza y èl carácter de los materiales rústicos usados en todas partes. Pisos de piedra, vigas rusticas marcando un ritmo, marcos de puertas en piedra, son algunos de los detalles que predominan en esta casa, que junto con las lámparas enfatizan esa idea. Interiores llenos de luz y calidez, se relacionan con los espacios exteriores adyacentes al estar. Tanto la cocina como el baño tienen una gran conexión con la pileta y el jardín, a través del aventanamiento. Fuente: Oz Arquitectos.

Black windows with a white exterior and interior is the hottest trend going at the moment, but are black windows the best choice for your new build?
Every home design project is beset with its own design challenges, some of which need a trained professional to help solve. But there are things that I see homeowners do time and time again that land them in a situation where their furnishings and interior scheme just aren't working, and they're not sure why. The truth is, if they just avoided a few common mistakes, their space would instantly feel fresh and professionally styled. Here are the top design don'ts and some successful designs that show what to do instead. Kate Jackson Design 1. Don't push the furniture against the wall. You will have a much more interesting space if you allow breathing room around your pieces of furniture, as we see here. Allow the furniture to float in the room, away from the walls. This will help create a conversation grouping. The optimal distance for conversational seating is 4 to 8 feet. This is the Goldilocks zone. Blackband Design 2. Don't buy small, cheap throw pillows with solid forms. Pillows should be generous, overstuffed and formable, like these. Use soft, plush, down-filled pillows that can take a shape. There are great synthetic fill options, too. Use the classic "designer's chop" to determine if they will shape up: a quick karate chop to the top edge to break up the pillow's blockiness. Get rid of any dead pillows that sit like a lump. Say goodbye to postage-stamp-size pillows and matchy-matchy ones that came with the furniture. Instead, overstuff an 18-inch pillow cover with a 20-inch insert for a professional look. Martha O'Hara Interiors 3. Don't use a good-enough paint color. Paint color makes or breaks the look of a room. If it's poorly matched, the result will be weak at best. It takes experience and a trained eye to correctly read undertones. Consult a pro on this one to set your results ahead of the crowd. 17 Things Color Consultants Want You to Know Tobi Fairley Interior Design 4. Don't sacrifice lighting to trim your budget. The mistake I see most often is light fixtures that are too small or that don't dress the room properly. Use appropriately scaled, relevant lighting. Lighting, more than any other element, asserts style, much like a chosen piece of jewelry defines the style of a little black dress. Don't be afraid to inject personality with a statement piece. Blackband Design 5. Don't skimp on area rug size. An area rug defines a grouping of furniture. Buy one large enough to lie under at least the front legs of each piece of furniture in your grouping. 11 Area Rug Rules and How to Break Them Tobi Fairley Interior Design 6. Don't isolate rooms. Create flow from one room to the next by visually linking adjacent spaces. Repeat a pattern or carry an accent color or another visual element (such as a leg detaiI) from one room to another. Tobi Fairley Interior Design 7. Don't skimp on drapery. More is more in this department. Professionals use fabric yardage that's two and a half to three times the width of the window for fully functional drapes. With fixed side panels (for show only), you can get away with fabric twice as wide as the window. Don't skimp. Custom Draperies 101 Cecile Lozano Interiors 8. Avoid being too matchy. Don't match textiles and furniture — relate them. A designer's task is to create a collected look. Look for a collection of pieces with something in common, such as style, motif, color, history, material or mood. Blackband Design 9. Don't forget the details that make a piece special. I sometimes find the hardest things for my clients to understand is that the details make the design. Nailheads, custom pillows, millwork trim and inlaid floors create a custom look that's drop-dead gorgeous in the space here. Once you train your eye to notice the details, you'll see that a chair with a beautiful turned leg carved by a skilled craftsperson is different than a mass-produced machine-made piece. Custom details are evident in professional work. Contrast piecing or piping on a pillow, or welting, nailheads or trim on a chair. Details, details, details make the result special. Tobi Fairley Interior Design 10. Don't stop until you layer. Designers use layering and repetition of elements and motifs to achieve a professional look. Most people get the concept of layering when it comes to fashion. In design it isn't much different. Pick something you love, like this patterned headboard, then repeat the color or the pattern. The artistry lies in stopping before the look becomes too matchy (it always helps to toss in something unexpected to achieve this). Subtlety is key. Drapery, wallpaper, pillows, throws, bedding, accessories — all are great options for layering in a bedroom. You be the judge as to how much is enough. source
