1. exposed brick work is normally the one used
2. urban? rough? colorful? marble? ...
3. STUPID,DUMB,RED,JANUARY,WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU DUMMY.
4. The overall room has a masculine appeal to it. The wood floors are rustic, the table is contemporary, the couch is contemporary with a studious flare, and the wall is rugged.
5. Ying and yang (smooth and rough). I can think of many words to describe this room, starting with the brick wall. It has an organic feel, rough, original brick work in a rustic state, that contrasts with the smoothness of the leather couch creating a ying and yang feeling. The room has a contemporary feel to it with a nod to the past, and certainly creates that loft feel with the furnishings, while bringing the room into the present day, it still has a nostalgic feel with the brick wall framed out in drywall and painted a contemporary white. The white coffee table with is clean lines and smooth feel enhances the loft feeling of the room. The stacks of books create a lived in feeling without bringing clutter and gives the room a wonderful lived in feeling while remaining in its contemporary clean loft like state. Ouch! Hope this helps you on your way! Good luck!
6. That room looks nice. Hip, urban, contemporary, eclectic, blending together both smooth and rough textures creating a warm appeal.
7. Traditionally speaking in interior design you often will find leather couches and glossy tables/glass to be part of what is considered to be metropolitan design. Normally found in metropolitan areas such as New york you will see this in brownstones, penthouses, and a lot of this being used in upscale bachelor pads. Metropolitan design is incorporated by utilizing a little bit of modernity that meets some of the rustic nature of brick or stone elements. It is a beautiful compromise of mixing the natural with the modern for more classy timeless design. This design has more streamlined elements such as furnishings and a more linear look and appeal. Streamlined furniture is more straight lines and uncomplicated architecture. I.E. straight back and arms. Glass in a room is reflective and bounces light as well as being able to see through giving the illusion of greater uninterrupted space from a visual perspective. Leather becomes the anchor of a room due to it's heavy fabric and appearance and balances well against the the glossy or glass of a room for appropriate balance. I love this design as I have used the same concept for homes I have refurbished and rooms I have designed for clients. I hope this helps! It is a beautiful juxtaposition of rustic meets modern!
