Amazing Pure Interior Design Eclecticism Inspired By Brazilian Culture



Studio ALBUS Design took our breath away with a project inspired by Brazilian culture. Gathered around 150 pounds of bananas celebrating artist Carmen Miranda’s influence on cultural diversity, a collection of carefully chosen decorative elements create a Latin-inspired home comfort. Encouraging this radical aesthetic innovation started by Carmen Miranda, the design created by architect Henrique Steyer and designer Felipe Rijo, of ALBUS Design was imagined to encompass the owners’ significant artwork and antiques collection – “the drawings by Djanira in the wall over the sofa share the space with a painting by Di Cavalcanti and the cocoon-shaped sculpture by Siron Franco” – as well as an interesting collection of feather art displayed throughout. Baroque saints and silver torches next to an antique mirror steal the spotlight once you got used to the bananas: “Yes, we have bananas!” That is how we sum up this project in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil. Inspired in the Brazilian culture and its many influences, this living room is an example of Brazil’s cultural diversity. Just as the Brazilian people is a result of miscegenation, the creation of this living was a search for the perfect mix. Henrique traveled with the home owner to New York, Miami and Rio de Janeiro, looking for an essentially latin harmony.”

Rustic-living Room


Rustic-living Room 
A rattan sofa brings a rustic feel to a living room. Here, a country-style checked fabric has been used for the blind and the cushion, for a homely feel, while a cosy throw offers warmth on cooler days. The rattan coffee table is a practical choice as it can double as extra seating when needed, and the top can be lifted to reveal generous storage space.

One idea or style for a living room interior designing is the typical style. This mode is more reserved in nature, as it includes elements like furniture and wall finishes with a historical influence on them. Bright and rich colour scheme is used in it. Another striking idea is the modern style living room. A modern living room incorporates Asian and postmodern influence. To have a modern as well as a casual living room, furniture should be clean-lined, but fabrics and trimmings should be simple and informal. Colour scheming is normally modest in the modern living room design.

Eclectic living room design is another idea, which includes furnishing and finishes from a mixture of epochs and sources. It involves colours, shapes, texture, etc. Light colours like white, grey, etc, are used as background in this style. Additionally, a pastoral living room idea is a great offer for those who prefer to have a more natural, unpretentious, and warm welcoming environment. This style involves simple hand-crafter furnishing, and relaxing fabrics. Thus, by implementing such ideas, a person can design his living room in a fabulous way.

Natural Living Room


Natural Living Room
For a natural, earthy look, combine neutral walls with dark woods. The sisal rug and wooden table complement each other and are perfectly matched by a rattan chair. Choose a striped fabric from Roger Oates, which is draped over the sofa, accessorised by cushions from Matalan. Finish off the look with a rattan lamp. A living room is your showcase for the benefit of guests, which means you must put your best foot forward in this space. Whether you have an extra-large living room or one that is just big enough to fit in a sofa set, the Paint Colors For Living Room designs can totally change its mood and feel. While gray color for the walls adds a cool and classy touch, reds and oranges are great if you want a bright splash of colors and warmth. You can also use color coordinated schemes and a play of patterns for the furniture and walls of your living room.


If you have light wooden floors you can continue the wood theme with light beige or brown walls. Painting the living room walls in neutral shades like pale brown, white, or cream lets you play around with how you do up the space. With neutral shaded walls you can go for bright curtains, carpets, and furniture in the living room. You can choose a color combination like yellow and black that is full of drama, or go for a fresh green shade to add a natural touch to the living room. If you have cane furniture and plenty of greenery painting the walls just white looks clean and stylish. You can open up the space in a small living room with a light shaded color scheme, or go for a contrast of wall paint colors to add drama to the walls of a large living room. Do not forget to use attractive lighting to bring out the best features of your living room space.
