When the time comes to renovate the kitchen, it is often difficult to find an affordable design that both the husband and wife can agree upon. By nature, they generally have different visions for both style and budget. One particular couple wanted a high-end, stylish and affordable look that they both would enjoy, so they consulted interior designer Eli Mechlovitz from GlassTileStore.com. After consultation, Mechlovitz suggested they decorate with dark-shaded glass tile and mosaics, one of the hottest trends in the interior design industry.
For those unfamiliar with the glass tile trend, it can be described as a more stylish, luxurious decorating option as compared to ceramic tiles. One of the greatest characteristics in glass tile is the uniqueness – it is available in a wide range of colors, textures, shapes, blends and designs. Attempting to meet both their style needs, Mechlovitz recommended brown glass tile, specifically Zen Espresso, an affordable option from GlassTileStore. The earthy brown blend of Zen Espresso would create a modern and chic space in this kitchen, one masculine and traditional enough for the husband, and one eclectic, trendy and unique enough for the wife.
After installation, the dark glass tile, surrounded by the airy light cabinetry, provided a warm and luxurious feel for the kitchen. The different shades of brown transformed the previously dull kitchen, and offered an aesthetically pleasing pattern that perfectly united the upper white cabinetry with the lower dark cabinetry. The couple never realized there was a style that could accommodate both their needs so well. Extremely pleased with the results, they asked Mechlovitz back later this month, this time for consultation on their bathroom.
Elliot White is a conceptual designer who has created a concept design for the redevelopment of Queens Museum of Art. The Queen’s Museum of Art is located at the World’s Fair Site in Queens, NYC. The design consists of a visually exciting asymmetric shape that has the museum above and space for events underneath. Using lattice, the building would consist of concrete and plastic and has a very modernist feel to it. The design is supposed to mimic the 5 boroughs of New York
There would also be a permanent display of the 5 boroughs and the work consisted of both physical and digital modeling. I am sure this would be an interesting proposal for a museum and people would certainly like to visit a museum that is so postmodern and almost surreal.
