The bed is the focal point of any bedroom. However, most bedrooms have regular beds that are nothing out of the ordinary. We are not focusing on those today. Each of the beds we’ve listed here is unique, gorgeous, and functional. The designers decided to follow the road less traveled and created masterpieces that will be talked about for years to come. If you’re looking for a bed that will make a style statement, you’ll find it here. Let’s get started.
1. Magnetic Hover Bed
Not too long ago, this bed would have seemed like something out of a movie. Created by Janjaap Ruijssenaars, it has enough magnets that keep it floating several feet above the floor, even though it weighs 1,984 lbs. The bed was designed to challenge gravity; instead of falling down, it falls up. 4 cables tether it to the walls to ensure that it doesn’t float away.

Price: $1.6 Million
2. Vertical Bed
Artist and designer Ernesto Neto has created many great works. The vertical bed is one of his best pieces. While it is actually an art piece and only meant for display, it gives us an idea of how sleeping while standing looks like.

3. La Montana Rusa: Rollercoaster Bed
A great conversation starter, La Montana Rusa (which translates to roller coaster) is an art installation by Carpinteros, a Cuban artist collective that was established in 1992. It was exhibited at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York in 2008 and is inspired by roller coasters.

4. Private Cloud Rocking Bed
The first Private Cloud Rocking Bed was created by German designer Manuel Kloker back in 2005. The designer believed that since rocking chairs are very popular, a rocking bed could also become very popular. The Private Cloud Rocking Bed Version 1.2 is more modern-looking and does not have a canopied top. Flexible feet secure the bed in one position when you want it to stop rocking.

6. Yin Yang Bed
Italian designer Alessio Pappa created this unusual bunk bed which is based on the Yin and Yang symbol.

7. Tree Bed
Straight out of a fairytale, the tree bed is the brainchild of Shawn Lovell, owner of Shawn Lovell Metalworks. It’s a creative and modern take on the regular four-poster bed. Instead of using wooden posts, the designer used metal to create a bed frame comprised of trees with branches, leaves, and a random bird’s nest. She makes every bed by hand and uses traditional methods as well as modern forging techniques.
8. Fluttua Floating Bed
Ever wondered how it feels to float in the air? Fluttua offers that experience. One of the first suspended beds in the world, it challenges the force of gravity and makes sleeping while floating a reality. It has a single support at its midpoint with adjustable height. Designer Daniele Lago is the mastermind behind this futuristic bed.

10. Faz Daybed
Part of the Faz Outdoor Collection, designed by Ramón Esteve and manufactured by Vondom. This daybed is inspired by the shapes of the minerals, found in nature — like crystallized quartz.

13 Unique Mosaic Pool Designs
Looking to turn your swimming pool into a luxurious oasis? Look to mosaic tiles. They are one of art’s oldest forms and instantly add a decorative touch to a swimming pool. Mosaic tiles have been popular since the days of the Roman Empire and can create a gorgeous swimming pool inside or outside.
The color of the mosaics usually determines the color of the water in the pool. Blue mosaics are often the go-to choice for the inner part of the pool because they make the water look blue, however, other colors are also used. The patterns made by the water as it moves over mosaic tiles create a spectacular display, appearing to bring the mosaics to life.
Mosaic tiles are not limited to the inner part of a pool; they can be used on the edge and even as flooring highlights around a pool’s perimeter. In most cases, one mosaic pattern is used inside the pool and another around the edge.
Let’s talk about the different types of mosaic pool designs.
Sea Turtle Mosaic Pool

Majestic Horse Pool Murals

This mural of horses gives the pool an otherworldly aspect. If you have a piece of art featuring horses, you can have it digitally reproduced for tiles.

Pool Murals of Cities

A butterfly, the symbol of rebirth, can be a great feature to adorn your swimming pool. The beautiful creature can be painted and hand-glazed on tiles, printed, or silk-screened.
Pool tile murals go beyond printed images. They can be handcrafted designs that turn the interior of the pool into one giant canvas.
Full-Size Flower Mosaic Pool

If you love nature, bring it right into your pool with a full-sized mural of a flower. This mural gives the swimming pool a gorgeous, natural look that will never go out of style.
Blue Mosaic Tile Swimming Pool

Image credit: Craig Bragdy
There’s a reason why blue mosaic tiles are the top choice for swimming pools. These ones create a magnificent effect, making the pool seem like a river that leads to a waterfall.
Glass Tile Guitar Pool Design
Glass mosaic tiles can really change the look of any pool, especially a custom shaped guitar swimming pool. These tiles reflect the natural sunlight, creating a luminous radiance not seen on other pool tiles during the day and when nighttime rolls around the floor changes to the color of the pool lights.

9 Must-Do Summer Home Renovation Projects
Summer is a great time for vacations, backyard bbqs, cooling off in the pool, and even home renovation projects! The summer heat in Dallas can make some projects uncomfortable to undertake during those sultry months.
However, there are other home remodeling projects that are best done during the summer, while others are best left for other seasons. If you are considering making some home improvements, here are several that are great to do over the summer months!
1. Heating System Repair or Upgrade
Since you won’t be using your heat during the sweltering Texas summer, this is the perfect time to attend to your furnace, whether it is to make repairs or upgrade to a new one. If you wait until the temperature drops, you’ll have to get in line with all of the other Dallas area homeowners who waited until the fall or winter to make those home renovations or updates. Many homeowners rush to replace their heating systems before the winter sets in, which means HVAC technicians get overloaded with appointments. Instead of getting in line behind them to wait your turn, book your appointment now, in the summer, and get a jump on the rush.
Then, you’ll be prepared, and your home will be warm and cozy by the time the cold snap arrives. You might even be able to get a lower rate since it’s the off-season.
2. Fireplace and Woodstove Maintenance
If you love sitting by a crackling fire or enjoy the cozy warmth of a wood stove to take the chill off, summer is the time to get your fireplace ready for use before the cold sets in. Have your chimney cleaned and address any fireplace or wood stove issues now, before you are shivering and need to use them! If you are considering adding a fireplace, wood stove or pellet stove to your home, summer is a great time to shop for one and have it installed, long before you will need it. You will have an easier time getting an appointment with a technician while it’s still hot out, and prices on products and installs may be lower as well.
3. Kitchen Renovations
Cooking may not be at the top of your list during the scorching Dallas summer heat, unless it’s outdoors, of course! So, if you have been considering any kitchen renovations, the summer is the time to get those done. You can prepare meals outdoors on the grill, opt for salads or take out, or even plan your vacation so you and your family are away while your kitchen renovation is in progress. Whether you are considering an entire kitchen makeover, installing new flooring or cabinets, or just upgrading your appliances, the summer is the perfect time to get those projects done.

4. Install an Outdoor Kitchen
Speaking of kitchens, if you have always dreamed of adding an outdoor kitchen, make that your summer renovation priority! Since it’s a renovation with a fairly short timeline, you can be entertaining guests outdoors before the summer is over! In addition to cooking space, you’ll want to make sure you include plenty of outdoor lighting and seating, along with an outdoor sink so you don’t have to make trips back into the house.
5. Bathroom Remodels
If your bathroom is outdated or could use a refresh, summer is a great time for a bathroom remodel. In addition to a new look, you can swap out old plumbing fixtures to new water-efficient ones, which will use less water and save you money in the long run. Maybe you would like to replace your old bathtub, with a new walk-in shower, with multiple jets. While you are upgrading, consider having heated floors and towel drawers installed for luxury you will love come winter. Storage is always needed in a bathroom, so as part of your remodel, make sure to plan for that by adding shelving, cabinets, or a new vanity, to give you that extra storage space.

6. Add a Deck, Sun Room, Screened Porch, or Patio
Outdoor living space enhances your home and adds to its value. A new deck, sun room, screened porch, or patio can also add to your enjoyment by giving you a new gathering space for family and friends. Imagine sipping sweet tea on your new porch and visiting with friends. Or invite the neighbors over for a nightcap after dinner on your new patio. If you have an existing outdoor space, consider renovations to upgrade it and make it the star of your backyard!
7. Accessible Renovations
If you are considering making your home more accessible, you can certainly make some of those changes anytime, like adding grab bars in bathrooms. But, maybe you would like to add an outside ramp to your home, or install a platform lift inside. Summer is a great time to undertake those renovations.
A professional contractor can also widen doorways, install slip-resistant flooring, and make other accessible upgrades to your bathroom and the rest of your home.
8. Roof Repair or Replacement
This one is a no-brainer when it comes to summer renovation projects. If you need a new roof or have damage or leaks that require roof repairs, you’ll want to have those completed before the weather gets cold and rainy. Summer is the perfect time to have your roof inspected and make any repairs or get a full roof replacement. Once completed, you’ll feel good knowing that your roof is solid and secure before any bad weather comes along. A new roof can also increase your home’s value and can save you money on heating costs come winter.

9. Yard and Garage Improvements
Outdoors is the place you want to be when the weather is nice, but maybe you need a little help making repairs to your wooden fence, deck, or garage so you can get the most enjoyment out of your home and property. Our professional Dallas handyman and home repair experts can help! Spruce up the look of your home and property by addressing any broken, damaged, or worn-out pieces, and get your yard, garage, and exterior of your home in tip-top shape!
