I love the contrast here. the white desk (and flowers) with the black leather chair. complimented with the combined black and while zebra rug. the walls are white, the framed photos are not color but b&w as well. very well put together. most of the color is from the plant which i enjoy aesthetically.


I really like the palm fronds. That's about it lol. the chair, imho, is really ugly haha.


I like the big open windows, and I also really like the view. Kind of a secluded bamboo forest vibe going on (if that's even bamboo, I can't tell).


I like the panels on either side of the bathroom doorway. At first it looks like they see into the bathroom, but they're actually mirrors! Mirrors always make a room feel bigger, so I like how these are very non-obtrusive and decorative. I think they mighr even be closets too. (right click and view image to see a bigger picture.)


Besides the cushioned bench with all the pillows, I like the naturally enclosed feeling. The overhead material is very natural looking and I like the use of plants as a wall. More backyard (pool, etc.) can be on the other side of the foliage. Heated lamps or an outdoor fireplace could even make this comfortable in mild winter weather (wind, light rain, etc.) as well.


a faux library room with books ceiling to floor and breezy double doors is beautiful! (although my dream room is akin to the beast's library that belle finds in Beauty and the Beast. :3 )


For some reason I feel like this would make a good loft. Kind of rustic and minimalistic. That looks kind of like a sliding doorway in the back but it would be nice to put a big window or even a tv nook behind it.

i like the bench nestled next to the bookcase. the reading lamp is cute too. i like the deep rich navy of the walls and how it compliments the zebra rug, which i also like.


i think i really like the idea of huge rugs as opposed to carpet. hardwood floors can just look so much nicer than carpet. and if you get a rug, you can change it out and vary the feel of the room so much more easily.


can you guess? i like the plant lol. and the ceiling is neat. its a great contrast to the more kitschy feel of the rest of the room. interesting. i dont like the rug because its got that shape like it actually came from the animal. not a fan.

Titles are not always easy to think of

again the double-stacked high kitchen cabinets! much love! except i much prefer the colors and styles of this one. i like the modern look and the black color. i also like the clock for some reason; its very big and plain.


organized chaos! my favorite! and the shelvessss! you can put books and records and decorations in random empty shelves.


this image is very frustrating because i cannot pinpoint exactly what i really like about it, just that i really like it.


the color combination is very tropical and beachy. the palm tree helps too lol. i dunno if this is something i want on my house, but its neat.

there's something about kitchen cabinets you cant reach that i kinda like.


very clean and sharp. mostly i like the plants and the lights on the ceiling.


bright, open, and cozy.

i love balconies that are kind of like a path along the outside of a room.


patio on the roof! i like the boxy black furniture. and i really like that cute plant on the table!


this is like a bridge thing upstairs that goes over the living room or some big room downstairs. i like bridges. :3



bathtubs. for some reason i like the aesthetic of the sharp-edged bathtub even though im sure its not the most comfortable tub ever.


this one looks more like a deluxe spa than a bathtub. *__*



ive decided i definitely want a zen bathroom. with like stones on the ground and ambient lighting and bamboo plants. hella like that doorway.



i just like the layout. and the kitchen table. damn i must have a thing for rustic rectangular wooden tables.

Um, wow.
