Britney Spears’ New Home Interior designs

We got a forward that included photos of Britney’s new home in LA (USA). The 7,500 square feet home sports a pool, spa, three garages, 10 bedroom, 10 bathrooms, a bar, cinema and a library. 45 euro rupees ($8.9 million) maybe a bit too much for you and me but it is relatively light-weight for Hollywood celebrities and pop queens.

Home Gym Design Tips and Pictures

If you are health conscious, having a gym membership can prove to be a worthy investment. But if you are disciplined and self motivated having a home-gym is a decision you will always be proud of.

The burning question is where to start from? Here are some quick tips to consider once you are decided on having your own personal workout place.

Home Gym Design Tips

1) Think of a gym and one visualises a big room with full length mirrors and all sorts of training equipments combined with an open space for aerobic/yoga sessions. It might be true in case of commercial gyms but when it is home-gyms spaces do not have to be huge. A small spare room in your house or basement can be a great place to get started.

2) When you purchase equipments, make sure they are safe, compact and versatile. As you will mostly be working out alone you should make sure that you are investing in the right type of equipments. It is also essential to not try and cram the space with too much equipment. Keep it minimal. Keep it simple.

3) While setting up, you might as well get an accessory rack where you can place your small gadgets making them in turn easily reachable. You can also consider getting a small fridge to keep your energy drinks and water bottles.

4) Place a full length mirror on one of the walls. It gives a feeling of roominess plus you can keep a check on all your fitness moves. And it can be a source of motivation as well.

5) And lastly, having a great collection of music to listen to while you work out can make it a more enjoyable experience. Consider plugging in a music system if you can. It is a great catalyst and stress buster.

SALA CON UN TOQUE CONTEMPORANEO DECORADA POR KARIM CHAMAN

Una bella y elegante sala con colores frescos y relajantes, decorada por Karim Chamán con un toque contemporáneo marcado con las lámparas de monedas metálicas y cadenas cromadas de Verner Panton.

La joven pareja propietaria de la casa, diseñada por el arquitecto peruano Richard Malachowski, nunca imaginó que intentar cambiar una alfombra terminaría en una remodelación completa. Acertados cambios de color y adornos perfectamente ubicados convirtieron este hogar en un paraíso. La arquitecta Karim Chaman fue quien embelleció los espacios (hall de ingreso, sala principal, sala de estar, comedor, terraza, zona de piscina, sala de juegos y dormitorios) mediante un diseño moderno donde los tonos oscuros están presentes en todos los ambientes.
Algunos muebles se pintaron de negro brillante, los espacios vacíos se cubrieron con espejos fabricados o cuadros de reconocidos pintores (principalmente con gráficos en rojo y amarillo), las esculturas de Marcela Wong se ubicaron en espacios abiertos y en algunas habitaciones se colocaron alfombras fabricadas en baby alpaca suri de Karim Chaman. Dan realce las cortinas de Hunter Douglas y el panel estilo Mondrian que mezcla texturas entre espejos grises reflejantes y papel decorativo con textura lineal.
Elementos representativos de esta decoración, en muchos de los espacios de la casa, son los imponentes cojines de seda con motivos barrocos, en tonos morados, grises y negros, siendo por lo general el único punto de color del espacio.
Karim comenta que el cambio de la decoración de una casa empieza muchas veces con un simple deseo de dar un toque de modernidad a un ambiente, pero luego la necesidad de guardar la uniformidad hace que los propietarios se animen a hacer una transformación radical.
Lo que me gustó más fué la barra metálica sobre el mueble celeste que permite que el mueble sirva de mesita para apoyar vasos o algun plato con bocaditos, me parece una idea estupenda.
