Give Your Living Room A Little Bang

This lamp by Stockpile Designs won't literally blow up your room, but it could inspire an explosive conversation among your visitors. The real Korean War era bomb weighs 100 pounds, but its militaristic roots won't ruin your decor because the rust and paint you might expect to find on such a vintage piece of military equipment has all been polished away.

This Cool Dome-Shaped House Only Cost $9,000 to Build and Furnish

A 500 square-foot home isn't huge, but when you live in a tropical paradise like a Thai mango plantation, you don't need much to be comfortable -especially when your tiny home even comes equipped with a small pond and a gazebo. 

Impressively, Steve Areen built this home for only $9,000 -including the impressive stonework and furnishings inside. It's also made from locally sourced concrete and clay bricks although Areen now hopes to build more dome houses that are even more sustainable with pressed earth bricks.

Adoring the Angles of the North Star Apartments

What's in an angle? Not just great style, that's for sure. The North Star Apartments in Slovakia prove that with their stunning lines that not only look wonderful, but also help keep the residents cozy in their homes. 

The striking balconies manage to reflect light into the windows while similtaniously blocking out traffic noise and providing residents with a little extra privacy. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the building looks fantastic.

Stairs, Shelves, A Cupboard and A Desk All-In-One

Staircases are critical in homes that have more than one story, but  they can also be a serious drain on space. In an effort to make the most of the staircase, designer Just Haasnoot commissioned Dutch design studio Mieke Meijer to create a staircase that combines the functionality of stairs, shelves, a desk and a cupboard. The end result is a great place to work that provides a lot of much needed storage all while serving as a staircase at the same time. 

You can see all kinds of other great pictures of the staircase and more information about it at Homes and Hues: A Staircase, A Storage Unit and A Desk In One

Sun, Trees and Comfort Rule At the MIL Metal House

If you live beside a forest in Santiago, Chile, you likely want to stay cool during those hot summer days, but you also don't want to be pumping the AC all day long, nor do you want your house to stick out like a sore thumb. Luckily, the MIL Metal House by Max Ibañez and Claudio Iabarca addresses all of those concerns while still providing a stunning home with ample natural lighting and spectacular views of the forest.

By insulating the walls, using cool wood, metal and concrete for building materials, stretching the roof to provide extensive shade and adding a reflective coating to the windows, the house beautifully fits in with its surroundings all while providing natural comfort to its residents.

The Smell of Genius Home Decor

Something smells fishy...no wait, make that delightful. It must be these wonderful new outlet covers by ekoD that make your outlet look like it finally has a nose of its own. The delightful designs are easy to use -just plug them into the wall and then plug your cords into the nose. Sure they're a little pointless, but aren't framed photos, fancy door handles and stained glass windows for that matter?

Make Your Own Shadow Chandelier

It's nice to get a new, stylish home fixture, but many times these chic designs soon look old and tired and you're left with the choice of getting rid of them or leaving them to make your home look outdated and ugly. Fortunately, with this cool shadow chandelier, you don't need to deal with that problem as it's totally DIY and made from cardboard. Not only is it a practically free design addition, but you can even recycle it when you're done.

The Delightful Haunted Mansion Guest Room

We've featured some fantastic dream homes on Homes and Hues, but this is the first time we've covered a single room that has been done in one amazing theme. This delightful Haunted Mansion room features many of the great details we love from the Disney attraction. 

From the door hanger to the throw pillows to the curtain hanger, this room is loaded with Haunted Mansion goodies we simply adore. In fact, I kind of wish this room was available for rent on Airbnb because I would totally stay there before traveling to the real Haunted Mansion.
