The prefab home isn't exactly synonymous with luxury, but Nexterra is changing this perception. This eco-minded real estate company is on it way to developing eco-enclaves that combine highly sustainable architecture with a cool contemporary aesthetic. Nexterra recently finished construction on its very first prefab home dubbed the LivingHome. Located in Toronto, the sleek mid-century design has a modern open-living plan, floor-to-ceiling windows and a geothermal heating and cooling system--plus it comes ready to assemble! (Check out this video of the quick construction). This all sounds very eco-chic, don't you think?



We were thrilled when Nexterra asked us for help outfit the space with a little DwellStudio style! How (would) You Dwell in this green-luxe home of the future? We think a sustainably-chic neighborhood would be a pretty cool way to live haute-green life!

We see the future of stylish green living here, and we LOVE How You Dwell, Nexterra!

We spotted Kate and Alden's home on Design*Sponge and instantly feel in love with their nature-infused Northern California abode. This creative duo--Kate works for Chronicle Books and Anthology Magazine and Alden is a grad student at UC Berkely--layered their rooms with loads of natural elements. We love how this couple crafted an inviting vibe by bringing the outdoors inside with woodsy prints, framed maps and harvested branches. And of course we love how our Chinoiserie Duvet Set perfectly suits Kate and Alden's alfresco spirit!



Kate and Alden, we love How You Dwell!

What's black and white and chic allover? MStetson's lovely dwelling, of course! We've had our eye on this stylish design blogger's site for a while. Her posts on cool artists and inspiring interiors always have us in swoon mode. So when we saw her post featuring some of our favorite accents, we could hardly contain our excitement! We love the bold palette of black and white with pops of yellow—so graphic and modern!




We LOVE How You Dwell, MStetson!

Longtime DwellStudio pal Joy Cho of Oh Joy! recently shared her daughter Ruby’s nursery with us. We love that Joy didn’t shy away from using lots of bold graphics to create the playful atmosphere. Little Ruby is one lucky lady!

We love how bright and cozy Ruby’s nursery turned out, and how adorable are those tiny gold shoes?


Joy, we LOVE how you dwell!

We've featured Erin on the blog before - back when she lived in Seattle. But now she has a fancy new loft in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood and a whole new look to her bedroom, we love it!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your holiday season was full of love and cheer!

 

We're kicking off the New Year with a fun How You Dwell for you. It's no secret that we love The Glow - and while drooling over their most recent post we spotted some familiar bedding. The lovely Rebecca Minkoff's son Luca snuggles up with our Organic crib set in Ovals!

We've been waiting excitedly for months to get a look at Bri's (of DesignLoveFest and Rue Mag) loft, and it was worth the wait.

She embraced a mix & match aesthetic and created a gorgeous home that really captures the Undecorate philosophy. Here are just a few shots of her home - see the rest in the Holiday Issue of Rue!
