On shelves throughout the land, books are being organized not by topic or author but by the color of their spines. Color-blocking books is a design trend that began a dozen years ago at hotels and in design magazines but continues to grow in popularity.

DIYers stalk estate sales for old books, peeling off the jackets to see what color hides underneath.

Minimal Holiday House In Ibiza By Ramon Esteve
Designed by Spanish architecture firm Ramon Esteve Estudio, 'Na Xemena House' is a minimal holiday home located in Ibiza with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Through simple geometric forms and bare white facades, the building was created to capture natural light and integrate harmoniously into the surrounding natural landscape of cliffs and sea. The house is also equipped with an infinity pool that is supposed to evoke a "sensation that you are bathing in the sea".
