Side view of the custom built wall panels, looking towards the front door. The wall panels create an entryway with DIY coat racks for coats (the front door leads directly into the living room and there is no closet). The charging station/shelf gives a place to put down keys and charge phones and the IKEA KLUDD notice board provides a place for the roommates to leave messages for each other. And by placing an image behind the notice board, it doubles as wall art. Isabelle LaRue

Small space living solutions are used throughout this contemporary 596 square foot tiny house. Adjustable height table in the entry area serves as both a coffee table for socializing and as a dining table for eating. Curved banquette is upholstered in outdoor fabric for durability and maximizes space with hidden storage underneath the seat. Kitchen island has a retractable countertop for additional seating while the living area conceals a work desk and media center behind sliding shoji screens. Calming tones of sand and deep ocean blue fill the tiny bedroom downstairs. Glowing bedside sconces utilize wall-mounting and swing arms to conserve bedside space and maximize flexibility.

The dark walls, ceiling and motorized blackout draperies help set the tone. The television wall was custom designed to conceal all the speakers, subwoofer and AV equipment behind twisted felt panels. All the high definition sound comes through without any distraction from visual clutter. The wall was custom design by Maven Interiors and the custom felt textile is by Moufelt.

A modern masculine feel was created by the use of cold rolled steel panels to feature the fireplace. The sleek look is balanced by the rustic reclaimed wood of the adjacent feature wall. Basement design and living at it's best.

A new first floor Powder room for a restored 100 year old Farmhouse in northern New Jersey. The vessel sink over the stained wood vanity and wall mounted faucet are notable details, offering a modern take on a traditional home interior.

Home office with modern flair. White furniture and walls lend a strong focus to the daring green moss accent wall. The sleek desk and chairs add to the overall modern effect of the room. A brilliant use of a small space, this home office is clean-cut and edgy. Photography by Hudi Greenberger
