While selecting furniture for modern home interior decor keep it simple and clean. Use fabrics that are smooth like leather or micro fiber. Coffee and center tables generally have a glass top and are not too intricately done. Most of them are either round or square of wood. Contrasting colors can be used for giving depth to the dining space.

Romy Guevara, co-owner of Rommy Custom Designs, can give you a beautifully-lit stone patio with lanterns and arched walkways, elegant stone bathrooms and living areas with recreations of the Sistine Chapel, and dining rooms with bars of rich brown wood.
“Our art is architecture and interior together,” said Guevara, 45. “We start in the heart.”
Guevara has been doing interior and exterior design in the Rio Grande Valley for about 10 years; prior to his move here, he worked from Ajijic, Mexico where he did projects on a grand scale in Guadalajara and other parts of Mexico.

Trompe-l’oeil is an artistic technique in which the images appear real instead of two-dimensional. (more…)

When we look at the New York City skyline after dark, we see an urban landscape particular to modernity, one in which the significance of each building is designated not by form or position, but by light. “Transformed by Light: The New York Night,” an exhibition coinciding with the centenary of the IESNA, celebrates this particularly American vision of the city. The show’s subject is especially fitting since, as historian Dietrich Neumann notes in Architecture of the Night: The Illuminated Building (Prestel Publishing, 2003), it was lighting engineers who encouraged architects to experiment with electric light at an urban scale in the early years of the twentieth century. Prior to the 1930s, architects seldom imagined their work illuminated at night. Only after architects like Raymond Hood picked up on the research of engineers, such as Walter D’Arcy Ryan, did the nighttime skyscraper skyline attain its iconic status. (more…)
