We've featured wall decals before but never ones that are from high-resolution photographs. These Wallflower wall stickers are from high-quality photos that are enlarged to enormous proportions and are a great alternative to wallpaper.

I headed to Berlin last week to attend the launch of the Axor Starck Organic bathroom collection, which is a collaboration between design genius Philippe Starck and the German company Hansgrohe's luxury brand, Axor. The collection combines a sleek, organic faucet form with a revolutionary way of saving water.

Downtown Los Angeles just got a lot greener, and is the perfect example of why I’ll take a sea of green over the ocean blue any day. Still under construction, the new Grand Park runs east to west from Grand Street to Hill Street and the City Hall downtown. Designed by Rios Clementi Hale Studios, a portion of the park opened in July and the remaining segments extending to City Hall, later this summer.

We just got an Urbio modular wall storage unit called the Big Happy Family. Mr. Design Milk and I installed it a few weeks ago in our kitchen. It's so easy to install! Here's how it's done.

If you're on the hunt for where to get reclaimed wood for flooring or furniture project and you're finding it difficult, Timeline is a new design alternative to reclaimed wood and conventional on-site finishing.

Jim Schatz is back with an indoor/outdoor hanging "curtain" made of translucent porcelain. Called Happening Curtains, these sun-capturing orbs would make a great porch hanging, but could also be used as a room divider, over the inside of a window, or even on a wall as art.

It may look like the most traditional of villas on the outside, but inside the Byblos Art Hotel, located near Verona, Italy, is a glorious blend of Old World meets hot-right-now, for an over-the-top effect of modern madness. Furnishings with Baroque and Napoleonic silhouettes are executed in acid hues, mid-century masterpieces are nestled in front of ornate moldings and wall panels, and formal grounds are dotted with vibrant sculpture.

Each year, A’ Design Award and Competition seeks out the best in design across multiple categories to award the very best designs with their

The carefully chosen, rich hues that Ottawa-based architect Paul Kariouk uses in his work make quite an impact, though the actual number of colors is fairly limited. An aqua-tinged navy paired with an almost neon orange, bar red against the forest greens, and acid pink and green are all inspiring pairs.
