Modern Zen Landscaping

Amir Schlezinger is an amazing landscape designer. This has got to be my dream patio..if I had a loft in the city.

Wood Walls

Wood walls aren't just for the 70's anymore. Along with a few modern pieces, it's a stylish spin on the old wood paneling.

Tulip Chairs & Tables: Mixing Modern and Traditional

Some good examples of how to successfully mix modern elements in with a shabby chic, victorian or traditional style interior.

To get this look, try using rustic furnishings, a blue, green and pastel color pallete, ornate chandeliers, sheer drapery, pretty florals and vintage wallpaper.

Keep it clean, simple and pretty with contrasting wood furnishings and a neutral color pallette.

Or add in pops of color like red and blue.

Hemeroscopium House by Antón García- Abril

The Hemeroscopium House was formed around the idea of defying physical limits. Composed of heavy structural elements, it defines it's aesthetics with perfectly placed beams that create an aerial effect. The seemingly unstable structure took only 7 days to build, but a year to perfect. Complex calculations were involved in creating the perfect balance, aerial quality and overall appearance. The use of heavy concrete gives an industrial, modern look but flows beautifully with it's natural surroundings.

A Look at Rocio Romero Prefabs

Rocio Romera has, in my opinion, some of the best Modern Prefabricated homes for the money. The good thing about these is that they're completely customizable. So if you're on a budget you can get by with the basics, or splurge and have yourself a custom made modern dream home. Perfect for anyone wanting to live the modern lifestyle on a budget.

Nature Inspired Modern Decor

I love to mix nature with modern. The look is clean and organic. And I love David Wiseman's Branch Chandelier. It's a little unexpected, totally nature inspired and a clear work of art.

Note: This is just inspirational. I went to his site and no sign of whether or not he's selling it, but I will definately make the post otherwise.

Try Beth Weintraub's Etched Metal Plate for a bit of nature inspired yet "masculine" decor.
