Las Vegas Interior Design

Wynn Copper Coloured Exterior

When one is asked "What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Las Vegas"? the obvious answer is casinos, night life and the notorious city slogan "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" but Las Vegas has its share of grand architecture and luxury interior design. While exploring the resorts along strip I couldn't help but look up in every building I entered, the details were stunning, from the trompe l'oeil, to the decorative moulding and the grand architectural features it had me amazed. One of the newest luxury hotels Wynn Las Vegas is a copper coloured exterior 2700 room luxury hotel, not quite Zen modernist, Provencal or Asian-inspired but a mix of many interior design styles and one of extreme luxury that gives a taste of what is to come later in the suites.

Tower Suite Interior

Featuring copper coloured wall paper most definitely to compliment the grand exterior, crisp white accents, rich dark granite and stainless steel fixtures to pull it all together.

New Museum in New York City

While in New York City we had the opportunity to visit the New Museum. The New Museum is the only museum with the mission to promote new art and new ideas, and the only museum in New York City devoted exclusively to contemporary art.
It is an experimentation ground for art in the 21st century and this is clearly apparent with the art that is displayed in the three galleries. The seven story building features a theatre on the lower level, a store and gallery on the ground floor, Floors 2, 3, and 4 are the heart of the museum and feature galleries, a fifth-floor education centre and the seventh-floor Sky Room with a Panoramic view. The building itself is the perfect metaphor for the evolving nature of contemporary art. Well worth the visit!

NEW TRENDS IN FLOORING
Glass tile as a flooring application?
Yes it can be done! I was introduced to this fairly new concept at the 2009 IDEX NEOCON show in September and recently met with the vendor to learn a little more about the product line.
Interstyle ceramic+glass has introduced a new product line called STRATUS, which is an inspired collection of decorative prints fused on glass tile for residential floor and wall applications. The line includes eight different styles/prints which range from organic to more linear patterns and colours to suit any style. They offer the standard sizes including 12"x12" and 16"x16" tiles and also offer 8"x12", 8"x16" and 12"x16" for select tiles.
Glass tiles became very popular as a wall application in the late 1990's and since have come a long way. Its popularity can be attributed to the recent technological breakthroughs and the materials ability to reflect and play with different lighting applications. By far it is one of my favorite materials to use in mostly kitchen and bathroom renovations but with the new introduction of the STRATUS collection I can definitely see it being incorporated into entrance foyers or in small power rooms. If your unsure of using it as an entire flooring application, try using small amounts of it as an accent, perhaps an inlay or a border. Whatever you decide to do with it, I can guarantee this concept will take your design to a whole new level!
