It’s not an easy decision to install a fireplace in our modern homes, because space is always an issue.

Again, the very interesting and unusual design will definitely make the firplace an intrinsic part of your modern home decor which forever strives to be unique and clutter free.

Most lounge chairs are driven by the human tendency for escapism, and by that loic the new P38 Chair from Owen Edwards is no different. Yet, we are quite taken by the creativity of this fresh furniture design graduate who has given us a great way to curl up like a baby and forget all our worries of the world. That is just what the rocker-shaped P38 chair lets you do thanks to its all ergonomic interiors.
The cocoon shape that appeals to our modern interior decoration sensibilities has been painted in high quality white gloss paint (the one that is used on cars) while the interiors have been done in black leather. The contrast is aesthetically very pleasing.

No one can be immune to a modern home unit packed with clean yet elegant lines. Gone are the days when glam in your face was the call of the day. Though some might say that it still is, and we could not agree more, but the monopoly does not exist any more! It is Giorgio Fedon 1919 that makes us talk like that. The brand has launched a new theme called ‘Paradise on earth’ and it comes decorated with sparkling Swarovski elements.
Yes, believe it or not but the extremely elegant style of GF has been retained in this new set desk that comprises of 12 elements. The entire collection has been founded on a pristine white base on which the set really does stand out thanks to its linear, seamless and pleasant appeal.

Sometimes we get a feeling that a fresh outlook is needed for the modern decor that is becoming just a wee bit boring nowadays. The same lines, the same patterns and even the same designs seem to reflect the stagnation that has come over the decor that once we all were so proud of owning. Thanks to designer Giuliano Giaroli, things might be looking up. He has gone on to create classy G-one white kitchens for the Italian company Schiffini.
The concept kitchen beautifully blends the basic kitchen ideal with the touch of the modern, but with a difference. The clean lines are very much there but with a spalsh of color thrown in that offers respite from an overdose of grays and whites. The vibrant orange thrown in gives the modern decor a new lease at life

Now is not really the time to talk about fireplaces except for those in the extremely cold regions. But still the magic of the Wodtke Fire SL is such that we just could not stop ourselves. This one is sleek spread across to a ratio of 16:9 widescreen and is just too perfect for any modern home. A glass ceramic decorative panel framed the fireplace. You do have the option of choosing either a black of beige one.
The firebox is founded on a rotating base that connects to a central air supply. This allows you to enjoy different viewing angles from almost anywhere in the room.

Clean lines will never go out of style. And so will the Sogno modern shower that has been created by Italian designer Roberto Semprini under the brand Mastella. A great addition to the bathroom of today, this one comes heavily influenced by spa luxury in the bath. After all, isn’t it one’s bathroom that does all the talking when creating an impression.
The shower is borderless with a clear-glass enclosure that merges into the background very smoothly. The structure is accentuated with delicate white leaves that are spread from across the center.

Oh, don’t we just love the modern outlook of a kitchen. Well, so far probably the most ignored part of a house, the culinary lab is finally getting its due in this day and age. First, it were the hi-tech appliances like the internet-enables fridges, smart ovens, coffee machines and what not. So, it was time for a clutter-free kitchen space. Giorgio Armani was among the first ones to introduce a disappearing kitchen like The Calyx.
And not brand Electrolux has something to offer in the same line. Well, lately it introduced two hi-tech kitchen concepts especially for a generation that likes to do things the tech-savvy way. The two are called Rendez-vous, which is an interactive dining table, and Volare, a fold-away artistic kitchen.

We are up for an uncluttered modern decor, any day. Gone are the days when folks would centre their living room on the television. The trend is passé. Perhaps, this shall explain new products like the FLP-310 ceiling flip-down TV lift. Well, this great new attachment for your home decor or even office comes to fit in LCDs and plasma TVs of the size between 42-inch and 55-inch. We think, this one is ideal for boats, yachts and RVs too.
The ultra slim design which measures up to 4 and a half inches offers a great way to fit a big TV into a small space. With the touch of a button you can conceal the ‘idiot box’ and undo the effect in the same way.

Whoever came up with the concept of a coffee table was one very smart fellow. Well, you have to give it to the person who gives the boring, almost-taken for granted and at the brink of being forgotten piece of furniture a new name, and a new chance at life. Don’t you agree that we treat the ‘centre table’ of yore with a little more respect and care! That established, let’s go on to talk about the cool new Ciaika Piramid coffee table that’s up on the market and getting rave reviews.
A product from the house of Vismara, this modern furniture innovation might not feature any high-tech functionalities but it does come with features that fit in too well with the lifestyles today. For starters, the Ciaika coffee table has space to keep 800 CDs or 378 DVDs in an organized manner. So much for the music lovers, there is also enough place for your regular bar equipment, glasses, remotes, magazines…practically, anything that you might need at hand.

Margaret Rowe is a world renowned jewelry designer who has created a buzz in the fashion circuit one again with her latest vintage couture jewelry. This collection has very skillfully blended the vintage costume pieces with modern trends in accessories creating a rather bold eponymous jewelry.
Forming the base of the necklaces are vintage pendants that date from the 1920s to 1950s. And these are combined with contemporary elements to create a frame like modern silhouette in the brilliant works of art. If it helps, few days back, super model Heidi Klum was seen flaunting one of the Rowe necklaces at an LA event.
