The Hamptons is a setting where there is no shortage of opulent homes that take their homeowners away from constant urban rush. But the Amagansett House is a touch different from the others in the neighborhood both on the outside and the inside. Designed by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, the house was specifically created to meet the needs of its stylish owners by combining their existing collection of Danish décor pieces with a backdrop that is understated and classy. Scandinavian is the style of choice inside this lovely retreat where the backdrop is largely white and monochromatic. Apart from the muted backdrop, it is pale and painted wood features along with brass and marble accents that make the biggest visual impact in here.

Scandinavian influences find their way into this lovely getaway in the Hamptons

The most striking feature of this home is the seamless way in which the outdoors and the interior are intertwined to create large social spaces where nature takes over. A flood of natural light illuminates all the rooms and the color scheme of wood, white and natural greenery can be found in the bedroom and bathrooms as well. Bunk beds in the kids’ room, custom built-in benches in every level of the house and curated furniture pieces that save space without taking away from the beautiful, cheerful appeal of the interior complete a setting that just looks picture-perfect.

This Hamptons home was a departure from the historic homes we often take on. With significant changes to the floor plan and finishes, the home transformed into a light filled Scandinavian inspired getaway for our clients. We designed cozy sitting rooms with built in sofas on each floor and expanded the kitchen to include space previously occupied by a screened porch.

There are some elements of our house that we see purely as aesthetic additions and others that we stereotype as only functional ones. Yet, in many cases, décor and design features can serve both the purposes simultaneously. A mirror in the bedroom is no different. It adds to both the form and functionality of a small bedroom and does so without ever feeling out of place. Yet, the traditional dressing mirror or the large mirror inside the walk-in closet are not the only options in here. You can go a step further with mirrored doors that combine two different functions into one!

Mirrored doors in small bedrooms can come either in the form of the main bedroom door and one that connects the bedroom with the bathroom or it could be the closet door as well. Which path you would like to take depends on both the style of the room, available space and the distribution of light inside it. From the understated to the absolutely unmissable, this is a look at the best and most inventive bedrooms with mirrored doors – an idea that you should definitely reflect upon this summer!

Mirrored Closets and Wardrobes

The easiest and most often used idea when it comes to mirrored doors is to replace your old bedroom wardrobe doors with ones that offer a mirrored finish. This is an understandably easy choice to make and one that has plenty of advantages. In the small bedroom, these sliding doors create a more visually spacious area, eliminate any sense of darkness and the room just feels a lot more cheerful in general. These doors are not very expensive and they fit in easily with a wide variety of styles ranging from modern and Scandinavian to shabby chic and eclectic.

Doors with Mirrored Finishes

Doors with mirrored finishes are bit more of a rarity since most homeowners do not really want to replace their main bedroom door with one that is much glossier. Yet, you can still benefit from this idea and you can use the mirrored door to delineate the bedroom from the bathroom. The style of doors here is not limited to contemporary alone and you can get more traditional designs as well to fit in with styles like French country, farmhouse or even Victorian in the bedroom.

Reflection of Style

You just might not have enough space for a separate dressing area in the small bedroom and this is what makes the mirrored door idea such a practical one. Once considered a style of just the 70’s and 80’s, reflective décor and finishes are once again in trend. This makes these dashing doors perfect for a bedroom where you just feel the atmosphere is a touch ‘low and dull’. And if you are one of those people who freeze and adjust things endlessly every time they stand in front of a mirror, then you will find this idea even more appealing.

More than the mirrored door itself, is the frame (or lack of one) around it that actually creates a style statement. This is why every mall bedroom can easily have a door with mirror on top. We do agree though that this is not the best of ideas if you have kids in the home who frequent the bedroom.

Every season we think of new ways in which we can improve our homes. Even if we are not able to step out right row, the planning is very much underway and choosing colors is one of the most basic aspects of it all. Each year and season brings with it a unique set of colors that you just cannot miss and this spring and summer are no different either. Today we delve into the world of bathroom as we take a look at the trendiest color schemes that are bound to stay relevant even as you head into fall and beyond. Uncomplicated and elegant, each of these color schemes offers something different and yet, you can see the overall theme pretty clearly as well.

Homeowners are increasingly choosing interiors that have a bit of character about them and are moving away from the more generic minimal trend. It is also a move closer to all thing natural. Both of these ideas can be seen at work as the bathroom is being reshaped into a space where rest, rejuvenation and comfort are an integral part of the narrative. It is no longer a place for just a quick shower! Step in and discover the 20 most beautiful inspirations –

Black, White and Woodsy Warmth

Black and white as a color scheme in the bathroom is nothing revolutionary in itself. But this year, the trend is to once again embrace this color palette but with a healthy dose of wood being thrown into the mix. Black, white and wood bathrooms feel both modern and comfortable at the same time. Unlike the largely monochromatic bathrooms in white, these spaces feel far more vibrant and unique. You still have a calming backdrop and the with white adding freshness, black anchoring the bathroom and wooden finishes offering visual warmth.

Give Gray and Blue a Chance

We are not suggesting that white is completely on its way out yet, but the time seems to have come when bathrooms in just a whole lot of white are no longer sought-after. The spa-inspired look in white has been an inspiration for long now and for good reason. This year though, try a bit of gray along with blue for a bathroom that is both colorful and classy. Lighter shades of gray can replace white in the bathroom with ease and this is a color that looks a lot more sophisticated when compared to white.

Green, White and Ample Light!

An idea inspired by nature and spring at its vibrant best, green and white is a color scheme that is all too popular this time of the year. Yet, 2020 has seen green being embraced even more than usual and you can explore its diverse shades from olive green and forest green to olive drab and pastel green without any hesitation. The color you choose should fit in with the style of the bathroom while white and light do the rest. Refreshing and beautiful, green and white bathrooms feel far more ‘distinctive’ than those in blue and white.

A leather shop is not generally a place that you think about when you want to have a relaxing conversation and understandably so. But this gorgeous leather shop in blue in the city of Osaka, Japan will change that perception pretty quickly as its owner (who also happens to be a write and a columnist) decided that he wanted a place where customers could truly fall in love with all things leather even as they discuss the latest design trends. Sunawachi designed by Hidenori Tsuboi Architects was created to present an atmosphere where the ambiance is both cheerful and engaging.

The island design is definitely an inspiration for all those who want to create a more ergonomic and pleasant crafts room. With pegboard wall on one side and a series of open shelves and closed cabinets on the other, there is no shortage of storage options in here.
