The Tin, in Berlin, a restaurant/bar. Neutral enough, cold, a tad harsh on the surface, but see how magic flows interwoven in warmish light. It misses a little more green, to pound the balance into a more human and less cavernal side. But it's no sci-fi-faceted crap, just a romantic, spirituous eat-out where you'll be no less than inspired. Check it out!

Light by Jean-Marc Palisse

It must be really inspiring to work in these environments, when the models are pure beauty. And in this case, Mr. Palisse negates any secondary light sources to give emphasis on THE light source available. Which is a clever choice, as you can see, because you get contrast to define your space volumes and colour sharpness.

This makes it a good matter of interior design. One must get full awareness of the light sources available, be them natural or artificial. And by the act of simple observation, choose the best decor placement. Don't let a powerful colour fade out, steeped in shadow, for example. Get more after the jump.

L'amour (Fusion) à Paris

This marriage is amazing. Apart from the undoubtedly/possibly cute/devilish 7 year old daughter, it's a fusion between contemporary art, him, and antique collectionism, her. As you can see, it went a great deal more than plain simple horrid. Just beautifully inspiring!

Allow this reminder about lighting, use colour to light up your house. You might as well get coloured lamps, but you won't even get near the greatness. With light and paint, contamination is reciprocal and you'll notice a more enriched outcome: the surfacing becomes gradiented, and the reflections will gracefully hit the adjacent rooms. Results may vary, but thats the beauty of it — get used to this!
