| Practical Cable Hiding Solution for Uncluttered Interiors Posted: 31 Jan 2011 07:05 AM PST Sooner or later, every home owner finds himself in dire need of a cable hiding mechanism. We presented quite a few here on Freshome, and yet we are pleasantly surprised to see more an more similar practical design ideas. Plug Hub is a clever power strip organizer presented at Unplggd which can conceal unwanted wires behind the working desk while also keeping them untangled. Made from rigid plastic and featuring a rubber "foot" on the bottom, the device can be either placed on the floor or mounted on a wall or even on the back of the working table top. Keeping the power strings separate will not be a problem, as Plug Hub comes equipped with three openings for directing the wires and three integrated cord anchors. Looks simple enough to keep things in order, don’t you agree?

| A Refreshing Home: Delightful Summer Retreat in Washington Posted: 31 Jan 2011 05:52 AM PST This friendly and cozy looking home was designed by Bosworth Hoedemaker, LLC and is located in Guemes Island, Washington. The play between private and public spaces was the theme in mind when developing this project called North Puget Sound Compound. The owner has beautiful memories about time spent in summer cabins, which is why the architects envisioned a site with more than one comfortable retreats. This way the family can enjoy a relaxing time in any of the two delightful cabins, which are quite similar in form. Moreover, this unusual structured site provides a great opportunity for the family and guests to engage each other in the environment and at the end of the day it offers complete privacy. As one steps inside, things get even more alluring. Wooden elements make a beautiful contrast with the white wall paint and ensure a warm atmosphere. Nature is brought indoors due to the wide windows and original timber furniture. All in all, a dreamy home, that seems to invite its viewers to relax.

Found on The Designer Pad, this fascinating looking apartment is an example of how geometry can blend with interior design in order to achieve amazing effects. There is nothing ordinary about this crib; each room features unexpected elements and a charming lack of symmetry. The architects envisioned the small 49 m² area as a three-dimensional home , in order to optimize the space. From the entrance, a wooden structure is turning white as a sheet of paper and runs a tour of the various uses of the environment / living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry, ensuring that each interior has a distinct identity. Have a look at this small apartment and let us know if you see anything inspiring enough to change your indoor decoration plans.

| Sound System and Cofee Table Combined: Acoustable Posted: 30 Jan 2011 11:51 PM PST The original Acoustable comes from Belgian designers Jérôme Spriet and Wolfgang Bregentzer and combines the functionality of a coffee table with the beats of a quality sound system. According to designboom, the unusual table consists of a base shell and a top surface with a foam core between the two. Here is more from the designers: The coffee table at the centre of the room becomes the sound system and the power terminal. There are no visible technical elements, only the player and a remote which can both be stored in a built in pocket. Acoustable is made from a polymer and mineral blend that combines the advantages of stone and plastic. Its shape follows the natural curves of an elastic membrane which, like its sound, fills the space suggestively. The project measures 120 cm in diameter and a height of 50 cm, which makes it perfect for an uncommon work table. For more information, you can contact the producers here.
