The world is full of art inspiration if you know where to look. We’ve curated some of our favorite examples below to help you develop your own practice. Remember, amazing things happen when you dare to dream!

Soviet Bus Stops – Christopher Herwig Photos

Conjure an image of Soviet-era architecture in your mind. Chances are you pictured foreboding slabs of concrete as far as the eye can see. Thanks to the work of photographer Christopher Herwig, we can safely say that this image is far from accurate.

Herwig traveled across former Soviet territories, capturing the wildly inventive bus stops that were installed by the communist regime. These structures are a testament to creativity, architectural innovation, and flair for the sake of flair.

The Barbican Centre London

The ever-controversial Brutalist style of architecture had reached its peak of popularity in 1980s Britain. During this time, a remarkable location, The Barbican Centre, was first dreamt up by Peter Chamberlin, Geoffry Powell, and Christoph Bon.

The center was first designed as a council estate for the wealthier middle classes at the time. Clandestine layouts, towering structures, and discombobulating walkways were employed to create a space that was a safe haven for residents and a confusing mystery to strangers.

Everything from medical facilities to libraries to grocery stores to recreational buildings was all housed inside the center. Residents never had to leave their tiny pocket of London! Today, the Barbican is home to a world-renowned arts and theatre space with a few bustling restaurants and residential flats thrown in for good measure.

Hundertwasserhaus Vienna

Friedensreich Hundertwasser began his artistic career as a painter in the 1950s. His eye for ‘natural forms of decay’ soon led him to develop a unique approach to residential architecture. Hundertwasser envisioned residential homes that worked in harmony with nature rather than disrupting it.

To this end, he designed blocks of residential housing in Vienna that employed several unique features to help them integrate more smoothly with the local ecosystem. For example, space and encouragement were made for residents to decorate their balconies with local plant life.

Sagrada Família

This is an architectural project so monumental that it’s still in progress. Since 1882, this remarkable building has been under construction in Barcelona. The architect Antoni Gaudí was responsible for the project’s fusion of gothic revival, art nouveau, and modernist styles.

From spectacular sprawling spires to breathtaking stained glass windows, this building is well worth a visit and has truly earned its classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When it comes to art inspiration ideas, it doesn’t get much better than this!

Gants Hill East London

The architecture of Moscow’s metro system is known around the world for its artistic flair and opulence, but did you know that a tube station in East London feels like it was lifted straight out of the Russian capital?

When plans for Moscow’s metro system were first underway, several prominent figures from the London Underground were asked for advice and design ideas. These British engineers brought a flavor of these plans home with them. The result? The striking design of Gants Hill tube station in East London!

Interior design for the home can feel intimidating if you’re a newcomer to the topic. However, with a little knowledge applied in the right areas, it can be far more accessible than many people expect. On this page, we’ll be exploring a few simple tips to help you elevate the spaces you call home.

A beautiful home doesn’t have to be reserved for people with lots of money. With our in-home interior design advice, you’ll be living in paradise before you know it! Let’s jump into it.

In-Home Interior Design Ideas

The list below contains some in-style interior design ideas that will work perfectly for 2022 and beyond. Browse these suggestions at your leisure and pick the ideas that work best for your home.

Tip 1 – Use Wallpaper Creatively

Most people know how effective some well-placed wallpaper can be, but it’s possible to take things one step further. Peel and stick wallpaper can be bought relatively inexpensively and is very easy to use.

Why not try applying your favorite patterns to your fridge or other appliances at home. This can add the perfect flair to an otherwise average space. The great thing about this tip is that it’s super easy to reverse.

This kind of wallpaper can be removed if you change your mind.

Tip 2 – Test Paints Before You Buy

Interior design for the home can be endlessly rewarding, but it comes first to get things right. Want our advice? Always test your new paints before you ‘pull the trigger’. The last thing you want is to paint an entire room only to find that things don’t look quite right.

Choose either an indiscrete part of your wall or some scrap wood material to test your paints. Be sure to see how the dried paints look in different lighting conditions. The amount of sun and artificial light in a room can significantly change the way that certain colors are perceived.

Tip 3 – Mirrors Can Open a Space Considerably

Working with a limited amount of space? It’s probably worth using mirrors creatively in some of your rooms. A well-placed pair of mirrors can dramatically transform the look of a room. It can expand and open a space far more than you might expect.

Be sure to place your mirrors in areas where they’ll be easy to clean; a dirty mirror will not be suitable for your in-home interior design!

Tip 4 – Think of All 5 Senses

A lot of interior design relies on the visual aspects of a room. In many ways, this makes perfect sense – especially when you’re preparing a room for photographs.

That said, it can pay dividends to consider the other senses when working. What enticing scents, textures, and sounds can you incorporate into your design? Striking textured woods? A soothing wind chime? It’s up to you!

Tip 5 – Design for You and You Alone

Interior design for the home is all about what you are looking for. It’s natural to worry about what other people might think of your designs, but this should never be your major concern. If you only ever try to please other people, you’ll never be happy with what you create.

Not everyone will fall in love with what you design and that’s ok. All that matters is that it makes you happy.

The artworks bring the space to life. Interior Design Team GRADE NEW YORK skillfully weaving a collection of modern art specifically into the interior design and renovation of spaces. Let’s explore!

ABOUT


GRADE NEW YORK

Edward Yedid / Thomas Hickey, AIA

“We share a vision about what living spaces should be—ordered, inviting, artful and enduring. Since GRADE’s founding in 2004, it has been our belief that integrating architecture and interior design from the outset creates the most beautiful, balanced and cohesive solutions. We travel widely for inspiration, and our obsession with creating contemporary beauty for balanced living fuels each uniquely personal space we design. Our work is grounded in historical precedent and informed by context with a view to the future.”

01

Chelsea Residence

At 551 West 21st Street, GRADE created this 4,300 SF art-filled pied-à-terre and curated a collection of modern art specifically for the residence, skillfully weaving pieces into the interior design and renovation of spaces. Located on the edge of the Chelsea Arts District, inside the masterly designed residential building by Sir Norman Foster, GRADE echoes exterior architectural elements in the personalized details throughout the apartment interiors. Custom features are found in the library, dining room and gallery: upholstered wall panels, decorative display niches and a suspended, suede-wrapped canopy. Tapping into the neighborhood culture and essence, GRADE carefully selected furnishings, lighting and works of art from galleries and artists around the world to create an immersive, artful residential experience set to panoramic city views.

02

Tribeca Loft

Featured in Architectural Digest, GRADE transformed a 3,400 SF white box loft into a bold, art-filled pied-à-terre through the use of modern art pieces, inspired detailing and finishes, and eclectic furnishings. GRADE aimed to soften the rigid architecture of the space and decorative wood beams using creative applications of color with a mix of softly curving, feminine forms and vibrant works of art. Intriguing accents in purple, red, and green in the open plan living areas create a dynamic environment and balance the masculine architecture with a modern aesthetic. Subtle homage is paid to the building’s industrial past with bespoke pieces, juxtaposing contemporary materials with classic patterns and textures and hinting at the evolution of the surrounding Tribeca neighborhood.

03

Madison Avenue Duplex

Completed in Winter 2018, this 2,100 SF duplex residence was re-imagined for GRADE Partner Edward Yedid and his wife. Situated within a post-war building on Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side, their home underwent an extensive gut renovation and redesign, transforming the apartment into a modern, sweet and playful sanctuary. In collaboration with the couple, GRADE has blended an eclectic array of contemporary furnishings and décor with calm color palettes, utilizing artful elements to create a uniquely tailored lifestyle experience for Edward and his family. A collection of contemporary art adds color and play to the architectural elements and layered materials with curated pieces from George Condo, Ron Gorchov, Mark Bradford, Richard Prince, Bosco Sodi and Brent Wadden.

For the interior designer, whether you are looking for ready-made artworks or customized artworks, we can meet all your needs. Moreover, we can also offer professional art solutions according to your project. For the hotel, we recommend different areas match with different artworks; for example, lobby with stunning and eye-catching artworks, room with warm and relaxing artworks. All in all, whatever your project is, we can provide corresponding art solutions.

-End-

Interior decoration is a game, and the rules must be respected while cleverly broken. We often see the cases like cookie-cutter beige tones and bland interiors in websites and estate agents. And interiors where there is no stylistic connection between objects. In addition, there are often a lot of different things that customers like but don't seem to fit together. Today, we introduce some simple rules and you can get some inspiration to decor an expressive interior.

*****

01

Start with a Concept Board

The first and unchanging rule of decoration is to create a complete concept in the form of an abstract collage that should mirror the colors, styles, shapes, and textures of the future interior. The idea can immediately clearly understand the way forward and set limited boundaries. Thanks to the concept board, when you choose furniture and accessories, you'll know immediately if they really fit. In addition, creating a concept is a great way to strike an instant chord with the client on what features and color schemes the future interior will have.

02

Don't Drop Neutral Color Wall

Any passionate designer gives great attention to beautiful things, colors, and furniture, and sometimes forgets to consider spaces left blank -- neutral walls play off bright accessories and send relax, while calm textures show contrast.

When it comes to neutral interiors, you need to create contrast, for example, combining light beige, cream and taupe tones with dark wood and dark accessories to look spectacular on a light background, as noted designer Kelly Hoban often does.

In such interiors, textures designed in neutral tones can be shaped not only through fabrics, carpets but also through pleats, wood-cut ornaments, collections of objects, stucco, neutrals and small prints.

Vivid colors can also be an excellent way to brighten up neutral interiors. For example, pink is good for white and taupe, green for taupe, black and white, and red for white, sand, black, taupe and blue.

03

Choose an Internal Central Focus

The dominant theme in decorating is to create a compositional center or focal point in the room. We first see something focal, and then we start to think about the interior composition. It can be large, bright, and particularly striking.

For example, have an exquisitely decorated bed in the bedroom, a luxurious backdrop or a large fireplace in the living room, or a shelving unit in the office that can accommodate a series of statuettes. All other interior objects will complement this "main" thing and emphasize its importance and beauty. If you put a lot of bright things in the room, it will come across too strongly and your vision will be scattered.

There is, however, one exception to this rule: deliberately saturated interiors always look impressive. For example, as you walk down the hallway, past the entrance to the room, think about what you'll see at the door -- it should be something pleasing to the eye, like a picture on the far wall or beautiful furniture or a vase on the table.

04

Keep an Odd Number of Accessories

If you are picking decorative items or textiles, the rules are as follows: an odd number of ornaments work best indoors (three, five, seven, etc.), and the ornaments themselves should be diversiform.

Or, when you're using something rich, such as ikat or zebra strip, it's good to combine it with a neutral texture, preferably a floral ornament with a geometric pattern.

05

Hang a Picture at Eye Level

For framed hanging pictures, the work should be right on the wall, at eye level, not higher. If you're hanging a set of small paintings or photographs on a wall, the center of the composition should be at eye level. Besides, what counts is to determine which images are primary and additional; What they will look like when you enter the room and sit on the sofa. Art is a perfect focal point, an important element in creating beautiful colors and adding character to a room.

06

Smaller Details

There really shouldn't be too much inside, and all western designers and interior magazines all said the same thing in chorus - get rid of all the excess. Leave items that are really needed and useful in the room -- a lovely lamp, a few photos or statuettes, a blanket, a vase or flower arrangements. The numerous trinkets that gather dust on shelves and tables will only overload the room. Choose what you really want to display and the rest can be boxed up.

Having a tight budget doesn't mean you can't afford luxury goods from expensive brands. Many of you can buy an elegant picture frame from Ralph Lauren Home, or a small vase or lacquer box from Armani Casa. These items will be in front of your guests and earn you points. While cheap decorations, a bowl of fruit or vegetables are appropriate, branches or a bunch of tall flowers, coral branches and pebbles.

07

Follow the Fashion Boldly

Following trends is fun, but it's more important to experiment. It's a bold experiment with prints and accessories, creating an atmosphere inside that reflects both your personality and the designer's ingenuity.

Alain de Botton

What is the link between modern architecture and human happiness?

In 2005, the British author Alain de Botton of "The Architecture of Happiness" said, "The world is so alien that we need a shelter to support our state of mind." He also launched a non-profit rental project called Living Architecture, which commissions leading architects to build tiny single-family rented houses across the UK.

Living Architecture's "rentals" are scattered across the UK. De Botton argues that while there are many modern buildings in Britain, they tend to be public spaces, and the few existing contemporary houses are almost all privately owned, with little opportunity for an intimate experience. Living Architecture wants to give more people the chance to truly live in modern buildings.

A House for Essex
Grayson Perry、FAT Architecture
Essex

An hour's train ride from London, Essex House is Living Architecture's most resplendent building. It took five years to complete the fairy-tale cabin by Grayson Perry (Turner Prize-winning artist) and Charles Holland (FAT Architecture architect). Perry dubs it "the Taj Mahal on the Stowe" -- a monument dedicated to a woman.

This uncompromising house stands out in the continuous Essex landscape. The soaring roof and long facades are decorated with about 2,000 handmade ceramic tiles and sculptures designed and made by Mr. Perry.

Perry and Holland are both native sons of Essex, and it was here that Perry fulfilled his long-held desire to build a chapel in his native Essex that would "commemorate" details of the Essex life of his fictional "plain Essex woman"-Julie Cope.

The living room is lined with decorative wood paneling, a statue of The Goddess and tapestries made by Mr. Perry. There are also other specially commissioned artworks, including furniture, jars and Mosaic floors, that tell the story of Julie Cope's life.

Do you think the house has a church-like style? Yeah, Holland and Perry referenced the old church form. Many fascinating and quirky details are hidden in the building, such as a hidden staircase leading to the balcony. Habiting in this two-bedroom house can feel like entering a fairy tale.

It's also a great living experience. A clean, bright kitchen and a bathtub covered in Mosaic tiles are enough to enjoy life in an idyllic setting.

Perry hopes Essex House will make people feel that art and architecture can lift people's spirits and experience the world, whether it's reality or fiction, through the eyes of others.

02
Secular Retreat
Peter Zumthor
South Devon

Secular Retreat is the final building in the Living Architecture project, and one of the world's greatest architects, Peter Zumthor, was invited to design the detached home, the first permanent building he has built in the UK, on the hilltop plot de Botton bought 10 years ago.

"It has become a cherish thing to sit in a house and look out over a beautiful view without any trace of other architecture interfering with the rolling mountains," Mr. Zumthor wrote, "I badly want to build this house."

So Zumthor took the Devon landscape a priority: floor-to-ceiling glass windows dominate the walls, natural light in every room, and views of sheep-dotted farms and wooded hills. You can stroll through the Monterey pine forest surrounding the house.

Zumthor's furniture and light fixtures bring more warmth to the pristine space: Orange furniture and velvet-textured seats soften the straight-edges space. Getting a place in the Retreat isn't easy, and bookings for 2019 are said to be fully booked.

03
Balancing Barn
MVRDV
Suffolk

This striking cantilevered house was designed by Dutch architecture firm MVRDV. A few miles off the Suffolk coast, it used to be a farm owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.

MVRDV designed the project with particular respect for the site's history and native flora by wrapping the main body of the building in reflective steel shingles, reminiscent of the local metal-clad barns, and perfectly blending the plant colors against the building's surface into the rural landscape.

In addition to "planting" their famous balancing game in the 30-meter-long house, you can relive childhood memories by hanging on a swing at the end of a 15-meter-long cantilever.

Canvases and rugs covering on the walls and floors are the works of local painters John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough. These abstract works bring a wealth of color and depth to the space.

A transparent window inlaid on the sitting room floor makes you feel real modern family life in the air.

Furniture and light fixtures designed specifically for the house embody the best Dutch design. It also gives the balanced house in the countryside a livable modern feel.

04
Long House
Hopkins Architects
Norfolk County

The Long House stands on the site of a house designed by Sir Michael and Mrs. Patty Hopkins. Along with east Anglia's architectural history, the long-lost estate inspired Hopkins Architects to build a contemporary home there.

Local material traditions and modern architectural concepts are fused here: the lower half of the exterior wall is covered with a layer of stone sourced from a local quarry. Outwards are huge flint-like walls. Inside, the entire glass facade brings abundant sunlight to the interior. Two semi-enclosed courtyards are located at the east and west ends of the house.

Common areas in the middle of the building include a gallery, library, living room, dining room, and a wooden spiral staircase leading to bedrooms and balconies on the second floor. This openness has been common in the projects of Hopkins Architects over the past 40 years.

The dining room and bedroom are embellished with turquoise furniture and silver light fixtures. The moment you enter, there is a real feeling at home.

05
Shingle House
NORD

Kent County

Shingle House is the first house to be completed in the Living Architecture project. Dungeness Point, where it is located, is a nature reserve because it boasts rich rare plants and animals. Scottish architecture firm NORD's preference was for the building to blend in with its surroundings. Therefore, Shingle House references the old tarmac huts of local fishermen scattered along the shoreline.

The black wood of the facades, the white wood and the toned concrete of the home's interior contrast with the warmth of the rich deep purple wood floors.

The interior of the Shingle House is comfortable and compact, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The open-air dining room faces the pebbly beach.

Particular wood floor color was inspired by the Viper's Bugloss flowers that bloom in the summer at Dungeness Beach in Kent.

On top of that, the house is off the road and has no neighbors, making it a place for a truly detached poetic Walden life.

06
Life House
John Pawson
Wales

Built from hand-crafted Danish brick, black on the outside and white on the inside, the Life House is the fruition of a five-year collaboration between architects John Pawson and Alain de Botton that they hope will minimize the risk that "we forget to spare time for ourselves and forget to understand our own ideas."

John Posen was deeply influenced by Japanese design and benedictine architecture, with brick, wood and terrazzo bringing warmth and intimacy. The emergence of a black-brick corridor in a predominantly white brick interior is both surprising and intriguing.

This variation of pace and perception prepares guests to discover a hidden room not normally associated with a family home: a place of pure, undisturbed contemplation. On a large slab of granite in the ground is a quote from PASCAL: "All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone."

Three separate bedrooms offer guests the opportunity to experience different forms of meditation: The library bedrooms are lined with therapeutic works from eastern and western literature.

The music bedroom possesses an excellent sound system and a carefully selected CD.

In the bathroom bedroom, you can reassess your presence with views of the Welsh valleys.

In addition, Life House is located on a walking route curated by British walking artist Hamish Fulton. Since 1972, he has created works based solely on the experience of walking, believing that "walking is an art form in itself". At Life House, strolling freely on the path Hamish Fulton and ponder the nature of art and life, which is a unique life experience.

A ROOM FOR LONDON
David Kohn Architecture
London

In early 2010, Living Architecture partnered with architect David Kohn to design a small space for London -- a unique building overlooking the River Thames. And so came a boat stranded on a roof: inspired by a ship that the novelist Joseph Conrad took as a captain in the Congo in 1890, a journey that echoes his most famous work, "Heart of Darkness."

With the support of the Southbank Centre and the London 2012 Festival, the one-bedroom room was installed on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

This one-bedroom gadget provides a retreat. Two people can spend a unique evening in a typical architectural landmark.

The interior theme of "Stranded Ship" is distinct and offers the creature comforts of a good hotel. Sadly, in mid-2016, A Room for London went out of business.

08
Dune House
Jarmund/Vigsnæs Architects
Suffolk County

Jarmund/Vigsnæs Architects is known for beautifully designed buildings in Norway. Dune house, just meters from the sea. The complex geometry on the roof is inspired by the various pitched roofs that line Suffolk's beaches, adding a Nordic vibe to the coast.

The four sides of the glass facade allow the house to almost connect with the beach. A small hidden room behind the kitchen ensures privacy on the ground floor, serving as either a separate guest room or a lazy nap.

Many of the furnishings were designed by the architect specifically for the house. To provide a friendly and peaceful experience.

The library on the second floor leads to the platform. Each bedroom has a bathtub to soak in the water like a sea creature and gaze at the rolling waves.

Dune House offers real fun seaside life: watch the sunrise over the sea from the comfort of your bed and walk along the shore to buy fresh fish for dinner. If you don't feel like cooking, famous local bars and restaurants are not far away.

Exhibition spaces can be challenging to create. You are starting from scratch, typically in an empty warehouse or other vacant space and have to use your vision to get you there. In Australia, architecture studio Youssofzay + Hart has created an exhibition space using repurposed materials from hardware stores, going back to using repurposing as a design technique. An exhibition space needs to be equipped to hold several artists, so it comes top to keep the room neutral while also stylish.

The hardware store pieces are used to separate areas into neutral-looking rooms that artists can fill with their work. It matters for the space not to be too distracting to take away from the art itself. This setup is great inspiration for other designers who need to create an exhibition space.

Conclusion

To sum it up, there are many interior designers doing incredible things with spaces in and out of the home. If you’re stumped, you can always look to other designers for inspiration for your own designs.
