Bachelor Pad Heaven

Desire to Inspire is one of our new favorite blogs, especially after today's more modern take on Frank Lloyd Wright's long, horizontal lines and integration of nature. And as you read here, the influence of FLW will get us every time.

But what we really want to talk about is this: the playground / loft apartment of a French bachelor residing in Brooklyn. Wow!! A perfect blend of art, sport, and masculinity, all while maintaining the highest standards of design.


Notice how the artwork all hangs from unfinished moldings that are placed a few inches away from the corner of the walls. Also, note how long it takes you to realize that there's a television there towards the left. With the Dark Knight playing, no less.


The blue is simply stunning at first, and continues by giving a playful impression of the place. A man that knows design but doesn't take himself too seriously.


I just included this as an interesting observation of what the photographer is doing here in the shoot. In comparison to the picture above, you can see that not only have the chairs been rearranged, but so has everything else that isn't fixed to the floor. It appears that scrumptious spread of fresh apples has already been devoured.


Continue to Design to Inspire to see many more inspirational shots (yes, lame pun intended).
