9 Super Bright Modern Rooms – Design Inspiration

January 5, 2016
  • Share

Bright Modern Rooms Den Grey Sectional Sofa

Bright modern rooms are in order today in my quest to find the brightest spaces this first week of the New Year. All of these rooms here were created by interior designer Tamara Magel. All from different homes but all decorated with a cool bright happy modern vibe. I like these. They all made me smile.

Just the other day, best of friend AM asked me, “Do you ever get bored of interior design?”  My immediate answer was, “No.”.  Later that day, I wondered why she asked…so this morning I asked her.  She said the reason she asked is that after she finished decorating her adorable house in East Hampton, she got a little fatigued on the decorating front and she wondered whether I ever got a little tired of it.  My answer to her again was “No.  I am not tired of design.  I still love it and seem to have a passion for it.”.

Anyhooo…happening upon all of these rooms by this designer got me excited AGAIN.  For me it is fun to look at spaces and create spaces.  I like seeing and figuring out good proportion, scale, colors, furnishings and design details.  Crazy that after all of this time blogging and designing that I still love design…but I do.

Here are 9 rooms, from different homes, all by Tamara Magel. Not super duper modern but just modern enough for me.  And just the right amount of bright!

    Love these spaces! The first image is my favorite….the white brick and the leather chairs are perfection. When a space has a lot of natural light, you already have a great head start!

    Even the most dully decorated room will look pretty nice with a nice splash of sunlight. I just love brightly lit rooms with lots of windows – it’s one of the reasons I sort of want one of those high rise apartments in the big cities, except for the fact that they’re so expensive and I would have to live in a big city!

    Love the light and clean look in all of the rooms. Don’t love the animal skins on the back of the dining chairs. Leather is one thing, skins on the floor is another. These skins just look, to me, like dead bodies draped over the chairs for drying after a hunt—not especially appetizing for a backdrop to a meal, and really superfluous to the design. The tabletop items, rug and art work can likely provide the texture represented by the skins.
    And being a fellow shoe fan, I smiled to see your reference to Tamara Mellon in the last paragraph, in lieu of the featured room designer. Her shoes go with every room!
    Thanks for the great postings, and wishing you the best in your personal and professional life in the coming year.
    The “little cottage in the Hollywood Hills” is a wonderful place for you to enjoy and to be proud of as your home. You have left conveniently placed subtle and not-so-subtle design features in Malibu, providing the gift that keeps on giving long after you have moved on with a new life. You go, Girlfriend!

    The effect that the ottoman and objects all seem to be floating in the full white wardrobe is just delicious!!! Love it!!

This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris wa This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris was designed to function as both a home and a gallery and the distinction between the two is impossible to find.
Every room treats art and objects with the same weight as furniture, nothing is decorative for its own sake, everything is placed with intention.
The Haussmannian bones, ornate cornicing, herringbone parquet, original stained glass ceiling, stay intact throughout. Natural and handcrafted materials do the rest.

So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her b So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her business partner Wendy Schwartz on the launch of Petal Promenade for @cuff_studio. 👏
This new collection feels like such a beautiful evolution. Inspired by their Manhattan Flower District showroom, it brings together the romance of classic decorative arts with a fresh, modern perspective in a way that feels bold, artistic, and incredibly thoughtful.
If you are attending ICFF 2026, make sure to stop by Booth W1048 and experience Petal Promenade in person. Congratulations, Kristi and Wendy. This collection is truly something special. ✨
Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
