02 A living room with a balcony that includes a combination of muted gray tones, wood, and metal which makes it a very restful place as the colors are very soothing for the eyes and this makes it a perfect place for reading, working, and maintaining homeowners’ concentration and focus in this room with a beautiful outdoor view.

03 Light spaces are backgrounded with easy to clean and easy to complement wooden surfaces. An easy to maintain space, whites and beiges dominate as much as wooden elements. The dining area bathes itself in walnut wood, letting soft greys and browns do the talking. The arched windows inspire a cascade of faux interior archway ideas with the use of brick columns and concrete beams with an arched bookcase and a door archway gracefully shaping the adjacent wall.

04 A mixture of light and dark shades ofmarble gives the living room sleek sophistication. The characteristic colors are monochrome and natural colors showing simplicity and elegance. Full height glazing systems are used which is very modern and contemporary with spiral stairs that include two of the most beautiful and luxurious colors which are white and gold that go very well with the beiges in the furniture and makes the living room look very fancy and exquisite. The wood veneer decorative panels are also very fascinating and are used to add glamour and richness to the space.

KITCHENS

07. The color brown is the theme for the kitchen and with contrast in shades, it adds a contemporary feel. The white and green dining table gives an overwhelming feeling of nature especially with the wooden cabinets and doors and selecting different colors makes it less boring and more tempting and seductive. Homeowners can feel themselves close to nature and forests by just looking to these beautiful colors. Plans are also very important elements that go perfectly with the theme.

08 Very simple interior design and a careful thought has gone into every detail, color, and line. Simple and minimalistic works is the goal to create an environment that is harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Two colors of wood are present which are white and brown wood which make a very appealing combination. The white and gold dining table adds luxury and has a very nice shine that shows cleanliness and makes homeowners feel clutter free and stress free.

09 Combined with the woods’ delicate and warm appearance, these strengths make it the ideal contemporary style interior design and decor material. Over the last years, there has been increasing use of wood in modern design, as sustainability considerations gain importance and biophilic style is trending in interior design. Pine wood offers a great blonde appearance that matches very well with white walls and floors and adds beauty to the place. Since wood is inspired from nature, it is very nice to have a big window in the interior of a kitchen that reflects the outdoor and enjoying the view of the forest whenever homeowners are using the kitchen.

Real Life Projects

16. This is a Three Story residential building designed by me located in Bagdad, Iraq. The key feature of this building is having different colors and materials in it. The gray porcelain ceiling looks very appealing with skylights and artificial recessed can lights. There is a beautiful combination of gray porcelain ceiling, white travertine marble walls, multi teak wooden walls, ash wooden walls, and fir wooden doors.

17. This is a Two Story Villa designed by me located in Bagdad, Iraq. This villa is very unique because Mashrabiya metal opening and Mashrabiya metal columns were added to the Villa that gives it an Arabic appearance since Mashrabiyas are mostly used in the middle east more than anywhere else around the globe especially in Iraq, Egypt, & Saudi Arabia. The different patterns of Mashrabiya imbue life and vibrancy to the facades of the building and also control light, air flow, and humidity. Different shades of beigy tones in the porcelain walls are very beautiful and matching with the wooden windows, doors, and floors. The large angled square shaped balcony is designed in a way that maximizes natural light and air flow providing cross ventilation.
