White Kitchen is a Good Taste
White is a perfect color for the kitchen. It symbolizes purity and makes the room larger and brighter, supplementing the daylight. Since antiquity white color signified detachment from worldly things, aspirations to the spiritual simplicity. Kitchen is a proper room for disappearing from the bustle of the real world and staying along with your closest people. Designers use white color to expand the visual space. So if you have a small kitchen - white interior is the best for it. There is an opinion that the use of a single color for the interior of the room - it's bad taste. But there are some different shades of white. For example, there is a snow white, porcelain white, silver white, pearl white, milky white, marble white, ivory white and platinum white. So you can choose different shades of white to decorate and furnish your kitchen. An nice clean-looking feeling is given when white is used for basic wall color as well match the furniture also in white.

Futuristic Lighting for a Staircase by PSLAB
Very interesting decision to illuminate a staircase was proposed by lighting company PSLAB. They have created lighting design for a spiral staircase in Beirut home (Lebanon). The main peculiarity of this lighting composition is its location. The rectangular holes with lamps inside are mounted right in the back sides of the steps of the staircase. So if we look in the staircase from the base it is a feeling like we are inside of some flying saucer or a spacecraft. The fact that this spiral staircase has no rails and the back sides of the steps are lit makes this composition look futuristic. It’s a new idea in design of staircases when illumination is an essential part of the design itself. [caption id="attachment_22583" align="aligncenter" width="600"] staircase-light[/caption]

The Lamp of Dual Functionality by Studio Ninho
It is a very rare situation when one and the same object performs various functions. But such objects exist. Vinícius Lopes Leite and Gabriela Kuniyoshi - the designers of Brazilian Studio Ninho - have created a lamp and a board for messages at the same time. This lamp of dual functionality is called the ‘Luminaire Post’ looks really like the parcel. It’s packed very comfortably in dismantled form into a small package and it does not bring many difficulties and skills to assemble it. The messages can be easily placed right on the lampshade made of cork. The lamp throws a soft light enough to see written on the shade clearly. In spite of the elementary design and economical manufacturing process (using of sustainable materials) it looks very elegant and nice.
