A Living Room Interior Design Guide
Presented here are some tips that you can use at those times when you feel the need to modify the interior design of your living room. This guide provides you with easy and money-saving ideas for decorating your room.
Effort should be made to do without bright colors when decorating your living room. It would be appropriate to start out with a neutral color background. Brown would not be a bad color to start with. Neutral tones make it possible to use rugs and pillows in any colors of your choice. Furniture allowing interchangeable slipcovers would be perfect for the interior design of your room; this makes furniture adaptable to the tone of the living room.
Neutral tone is particularly suitable for living rooms design in that it allows for easy modifications to the interior design of your living room. Pillows, curtains and some other room accessories can be changed as you like it to go with the mood of the season. Flowered pillows, a vase of flowers and sheer curtains can be added to create an interior design perfect for spring. While red and golden velvets and oriental floor rugs would be great for creating that winter feeling. Candleholders and candelabras as well as oil paintings would perfect the winter design.
The lighting to be utilized should also have neutral undertone. Alternatively, you may choose to get a new set of lights, so long it goes with the interior design of your room. The shades can also be modified to have looks suitable to the season or to your mood, bearing in mind the wonderful effect that shades have on a lamp. Floral shades would be perfect for a romantic feel, and white shades would be great for spring.
With a bit of astuteness, you do not have to spend huge sum of money to tailor the interior design of your room to your taste. Strive to make things flexible. Let the living room accessories that you make use of be of those kinds and colors that could be easily changed without spoiling the overall interior design of your living room.

Cadogan Place - An Ideal Living Space For A Luxurious Urban Style Home
For any discerning interior designer an ideal living space is one that combines warmth and comfort with class and elegance. With this in mind, it is then possible to create an urban style home that is synonymous with luxury and sophistication and in accordance with the owner's preferences.
The visual wow! Factor can be created through the use of quality furnishings, lighting and bold materials. If we look how international architecture and interior design firm, Casa Forma, unveils their magnificent apartment at Cadogan Place, London with its uninterrupted view, resultant of the frameless glass balustrade, from the split level dining room looking down to the lounge area, one is comforted with a warm, cosy feeling of rich fabrics upholstered to the Ralph Lauren furniture. One side of the wall features a long bespoke shelving unit that houses an LCD television; the whole unit draws your eyes to the front window that overlooks the beautiful, well kept Cadogan Gardens. On the other, there is a contrast of walnut clad walls with Bruno Triplet wall finishes, creating a distinctive look.
Cadogan Place is a prime address based just off Sloane Street between Sloane Square and Knightsbridge. The street comprises two terraces of Georgian houses and one long terrace of white stuccoes Victorian houses. As one of Casa Forma's properties that it has designed recently Cadogan Place is a triple lateral apartment set across the top floors of three adjoining period buildings. It boasts three ample sized bedrooms - all with en-suite bathrooms, a study, cloakroom, lounge and four small south-facing ornamental balconies. The apartment offers a unique view from all front facing rooms across Cadogan Place gardens which include tennis courts and beautiful manicured lawns. Initially, the apartment was of a very busy and highly decorative classical circa 1980's style. It underwent an extensive period of stripping out and structural work in the majority of the rooms. The first stage of the project involved a thorough dismantling of existing finishes, fixtures and fittings. New stud walls, new electrical works including Lutron and AMX and bespoke joinery were fitted throughout. Even the design and layout of the kitchen was completely reworked.
The master bedroom, which is the most luxurious, concentrates on a dark and dramatic atmosphere pepped up with glossy black surfaces and a feature wall of Tahitian Mother of Pearl in shimmery green brown colour. Again, walnut is used to create a bespoke joinery and panelling to one wall; this is dramatically lit with LED lights that enhance the design. To add on to the dramatic effect, beautiful black and grey woven silk curtains and grey distressed silk upholstered chair with ottoman are aptly positioned at the window. The master bathroom suite uses the same dramatic feel as the bedroom with dark shades of colour; some walls are clad with natural stone, while others with Tahitian Mother of Pearl.
The study leading off the corridor seems like a perfectly balanced space. With its rich palette of colours selected for the upholstery of the furniture, it reflects perfectly in the grey - black mirrors adorning the walls, effecting an elegant atmosphere. The approach to one of the bedrooms is done in subtle colour tones to create a textured feature wall behind the beds. The en-suite bathrooms has the same tones of colour with a minimal effect of natural original stone.

Architects: Henning Larsen Architects
Locations: Reykjavik, Iceland
Client: Austurnhofn TR – East Harbour Project Ltd.
Project Year: 2011
Project Area: 28,000 sqm
Photographs: Courtesy of Henning Larsen Architects
Situated on the border between land and sea, the Centre stands out as a large, radiant sculpture reflecting both sky and harbour space as well as the vibrant life of the city. The spectacular facades have been designed in close collaboration between Henning Larsen Architects, the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson and the engineering companies Rambøll and ArtEngineering GmbH from Germany.

The Concert Hall and Conference Centre of 28,000 m2 is situated in a solitary spot with a clear view of the enormous sea and the mountains surrounding Reykjavik. The Centre features an arrival- and foyer area in the front of the building, four halls in the middle and a backstage area with offices, administration, rehearsal hall and changing room in the back of the building. The three large halls are placed next to each other with public access on the south side and backstage access from the north. The fourth floor is a multifunctional hall with room for more intimate shows and banquets.
Second Floor Plan
Seen from the foyer, the halls form a mountain-like massif that similar to basalt rock on the coast forms a stark contrast to the expressive and open facade. At the core of the rock, the largest hall of the Centre, the main concert hall, reveals its interior as a red-hot centre of force. The project is designed in collaboration with the local architectural company, Batteríið Architects.

The Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion is located at Hjerkinn on the outskirts of Dovrefjell National Park, overlooking the Snøhetta mountain massif. The 90m2 building is open to the public and serves as an observation pavilion for the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programmes. A 1,5km nature path brings visitors to this spectacular site, 1200 meters above sea level.

Background
Dovrefjell is a mountain range that forms a barrier between the norther and southern parts of Norway. It is home to Europe’s last wild reindeer herds and is the natural habitat for many rare plants and animals. A long history filled with travellers, hunting traditions, mining, and military activities has left its mark on this land. In addition to the natural and cultural landscape, the Dovre mountains also holds significant importance in the Norwegian consciousness. National legends, myths, poetry (Ibsen) and music (Grieg) celebrate the mystic and eternal qualities of this powerful place. The founding fathers of the Norwegian constitution are ”agreed and faithful, until the fall of Dovre!”
plan
Architectural idea
This unique natural, cultural and mythical landscape has formed the basis of the architectural idea. The building design is based on a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core. The south facing exterior wall and the interior create a protected and warm gathering place, while still preserving the visitor’s view of the spectacular panorama.
© Ketil Jacobsen
Considerable emphasis is put on the quality and durability of the materials to withstand the harsh climate. The rectangular frame is made in raw steel resembling the iron found in the local bedrock. The simple form and use of natural materials reference local building traditions. However, advanced technologies have been utilized both in the design and the fabrication process. Using digital 3D-models to drive the milling machines, Norwegian shipbuilders in Hardangerfjord created the organic shape from 10 inch square pine timber beams. The wood was then assembled in a traditional way using only wood pegs as fasteners. The exterior wall has been treated with pine tar while the interior wood has been oiled. The pavilion is a robust yet nuanced building that gives visitors an opportunity to reflect and contemplate this vast and rich landscape.
