How fun and interesting are these images found on Pinterest this week?
First of all, I would love having a cutting board over the trash can – wouldn’t you? It would make life so much easier. It also makes it easier to transfer whatever you’re chopping to a bowl or plate. The ideal situation would be just a cutting board slab that pulled out, rather that taking up the entire drawer space!
How about the stenciled ceiling? I love the bronze color of it in contrast with the dark walls – very elegant. I can’t imagine that that was a fun painting job – but the effect and elegance it brings to the bathroom is definitely worth it!
Finally, I’ve never seen an outdoor area quite this seating area in the middle of the pool. Have you? If it were mine, I’d extend the back a little and put stools for those that want to float in the pool while eating and drinking.
Which of these innovative ideas would you want for your home??
Deryn Relph is a British textile designer with a penchant for color and a mean set of upholstery skills – we’ve already featured her work and we were so smitten we wanted to find out how she chooses her vibrant fabrics and makes her psychedelic designs. In keeping with the eco-mantra “reduce, re-use, recycle” Relph re-invents discarded furniture and lampshades, transforming them into contemporary treasures with fibers and yarns sourced predominantly from factory surplus stocks. She shares the steps involved in creating the Renee chair from her Retro Rainbow Rejuvenation collection in this month’s Deconstruction
100% Design has been going since 1994, almost a decade longer than the wider London Design Festival , which launched in 2003. But it’s as contemporary as ever with exhibitors selected by a panel of design experts to ensure quality and relevance. It’s primarily a trade show, but is open to the public on the last day. It’s a more mainstream event than the East London contingent, but offers a glimpse of the coming year’s trends and a chance to spot design stars of the future. Here are my top trends for 2012… I mentioned the trend for metal furniture, which almost looks as if it’s been drawn in 3d, in my post on Tent London , and this outdoor furniture from Kirv is another example.
London furniture designer Leonhard Pfeifer just released the Ravenscroft Desk for Woodman at Maison et Objet . The functional form of this desk is emphasized by its simple design and pure materials. Gorgeous from anny angle, the Ravenscroft desk nods to traditional farmhouse and craft styles with its crossed legs, but its sleek design also fits perfectly into any modern interior. This would be the perfect writing desk in a living room or bedroom, but has enough storage and utility for your home office
Bunk beds are the perfect solution for making the best use of space. Siblings who share a bedroom always appreciate the added space and Mom and Dad always appreciate the peace!

Take a look at some of these advances; odds are, the perfect one for your needs awaits!
