If you don’t know Interior Designer Estefania Carrero today is your lucky day. Her design is very Madrileño, by that I mean that it’s modern, crisp, young and nothing cold. In other words it is very chic.

Crystal Chandeliers have always been considered feminine and girly hence often the first
choice of a traditional woman when looking for overhead lighting options. They can make a room look instantly elegant and sophisticated but in most cases can also make a room very feminine and glamorous. If that’s not the road you want to take, because you share your home with a partner or have a family, don’t panic, you can still have your fabulous crystal chandelier without making the boys in the family feel like they don’t have a saying. Here is what I would look for if I were in the hunt for a crystal chandelier. Go for dark metal chandeliers, such as antique black metal, black wrought iron and so on. Get a chandelier without light bulb shades. Pair it with a neutral color palette or rustic elements as wood or concrete. Don’t worry you can still put your peonies on the table. You both live there.
The design of the new modern kitchen has forever changed. The new modern kitchen is far from the cold, showroom-looking kitchens that were once considered contemporary. The design savvy homeowners are aware that a modern or contemporary design has more to do with the functionality and use of the space than with the final (outlook) of the room. The main focus in remodeling or designing a kitchen nowadays is about planning and making the right choices to make life in a kitchen more enjoyable and productive. The pictures below show some images of what a modern kitchen design looks like today.
