Welcome to an exceptionally well planed small apartment characterized by refinement and a wonderful color display. Having a living surface of only 42 square meters, this one-room crib is full of inspiring decorating ideas. A small hallway leads the way to a beautiful living room which can elegantly transform into a bedroom as well. White walls contrast the sporadic color but effective additions, creating a lovely visual effect. A sofa with armchairs, a practical LCD unit and two large windows make up the small living room, the core of the apartment. In case you missed it, there is also a smart retractable bed in the room, which you have to admit is camouflaged in a very stylish manner. The kitchen is tiny, but functional and with an appealing design. So in case you were looking to see an example of how a small crib can be arranged with no design compromises, here is the perfect one.

Not too long ago, we featured part one of the most spectacular contemporary pools presented on Freshome. Due to the article’s impressive popularity, here is round two of the most visually stunning modern pools out there. We decided to go with a variety of shapes, in order to make things as inspiring as possible. Most of the designs in the photos below feature lovely furniture decorations, exciting areas that seem perfect for having a party, as well as for relaxing afterworlds. Pebbles, stone, candles and flower arrangements seem to be a real trend these days when setting up the perfect pool. A wonderful atmosphere can be created with the help of dim lighting effects. We are certain you will particularly enjoy the pools that are integrated in a spectacular natural environment, with great views of the ocean or mountains. Sit back, relax and enjoy !
