I understand why this craze is overtaking the world.
I really do.
And why wouldn't it.
Recyclable homes that take up little space, are full of character of the kind that artists dream about, and cost less than 10% of what a normal house would cost to build?
Plus they are funky, cubist, colourful, and beautiful in that
throw-back to the 60s kind of way.
What's not to love!

This one is slightly bigger... still as blue... but it has a hidden second little house inside it!!
Adorable.

Some cute spacious designs...

I love these with a rooftop terrace for entertaining and sunbathing!

Some gorgeous industrial interiors made cosy. Full of the spacious, structured, modern feel that these containers exude.

Little quaint shapes tucked away in the woods...

And then there are the more magnificent sort.
The vibrant, stand out charismatic houses that take your breath away.
Shipping container homes that say:
"Now just look at me. Aren't I the bomb."

In most houses bathrooms are functional and dull.
Here are some bathrooms - and bathroom design ideas - which should convince you that this is a room worth spending some thought on.
Be creative folks! Live out your wildest, watery, soapy dreams.


Firstly, there's the grandiose, lavish bathroom:

Luxurious wallpapers

I'm a sucker for feature walls - you know the trend of having one wall in a room wallpapered in some damn fancy gorgeous wallpaper? Well, I know it's probably considered a little naff these days, but I don't care. I still love it. There are some extraordinary wallpaper designers out there who have kind of turned the whole thing into some form of high art.
Tell me if I'm wrong:

How lovely is this wysteria pattern!
It is designed by the talented Cole&Son. Here are a few more of their more unusual designs:

 An amazing wallpaper artist (and also a singer, performer and boutique fashion shop owner among other things!) was Florence Broadhust. Check out this delicate pattern - I love it in the bathroom!

Here is some of her work featuring models with matching body paint! (by the very talented Emma Hack)

And if you are looking for a DIY approach - I found these cool large wall stencils that creates a beautiful classic pattern. It's cheaper than actual specialised wallpaper and is reuseable, safe and non-toxic. Click on the pictures below for more info.
And then there is a company called Harlequin with some cool designs:

A more unusual variation on the wallpaper theme is created by Beware the Moon. their designs are kooky and yet still rather beautiful.I love their skulls collection:

Another artist with designs full of character is Studio Ditte. They specialize in quaint vintage patterns. they have some great ones for kids' bedrooms:

And on a final note - let's bring back the wall mural folks!

sunken lounge heaven

I have a total thing for sunken lounges. They were damn cool in the 1960s and they are still ridiculously sexy, in my opinion. Practical too. When I build my dream home it will definitely feature a few of these.
Feast your eyes on this exotic interior from the 60s:

And for something a little more Barbarella and psychedelic:

And now for the more streamlined modern takes on the same theme:
Picture
I absolutely love this one... the colour theme of the cushions and carpet is such a great touch:

Modern and sleek:

Space age cool:

And now for some AMAZING outdoor versions for your inspiration:

And for the final one, just sit back and breathe deeply.
Close your eyes and imagine you are here... without a care in the world...sipping on a singapore sling or a coconut guava margarita!
