When you decorate your child’s room, would you like to maintain some kind of neutrality in the decoration? After you child is all grown up only small tweaks, not huge renovations have to be put into place.

As you can see this has been quite nicely below, with the use of the coloured and toy accessories. This entire selection of Adorno white furniture from Fashion for Home. Their red rocking horse also adds a very cute contemporary feel to a nursery.

Antique Furniture

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Are you a happy owner of antique furniture? I can understand that. An antique furniture means a lot, That’s the spirit of the time, the refinement of forms, the elegance of materials and generally the grace.

An antique furniture calls for special knowledge and special care of it as well.

You should know that you have to avoid both placing antique furniture in front of a window or direct sunlight and placing antiques near air conditioning and heating vents. Don’t place your antique furniture near fireplaces and stoves. Blot up spills immediately and dust regularly using a lint free cloth.

Decorating Ideas For Small Spaces

Friday, August 12th, 2011

With more and more of us these days are living in apartments and flats, we are having to find new creative ways of decorating and furnishing smaller spaces. In flats and apartments it is common for rooms to double up both as living and sleeping areas. In a flat like this a sofa bed is useful for providing seating by day and a bed by night. Large mirrors will open up the space by reflecting light. Also hang sheer curtains to let more light into the room.

Although storage space in a small area is required, it can look cluttered which will in turn make the space appear even smaller. Consider covering bookcases and shelving with a curtain. Push the furniture up against the walls to create more space. Only buy furniture that you actually use.

In the kitchen, hang utensils from the walls so you can use the cupboards for other things. You can buy magnetic strips which attach to the wall that cooking utensils can stick to. Consider hanging pans from hooks. Use a mug tree on the bench from which to hang cups. In terms of dining room furniture, an extending dining table can prove a real space saver.

Where there is not enough room in the flat for cupboards, mount shelving. Floating shelves do not use brackets and look much neater. In the bathroom buy a sink cabinet as a cupboard will be built in, providing storage. You can also use shelving or a wall cabinet for toiletries. If installing a new bathroom you can buy corner baths and smaller models of sinks and toilets.

When decorating it’s true that light colours will make a room appear larger. On the other hand sparing use of colour can achieve the same effect; By using colour on the walls or wall art, the eye will be drawn away from the lack of floor space. By decorating upwards with patterns, stencils and even shelves it will draw the eye up and emphasise the height of the wall.

Wallpapering

Friday, August 12th, 2011

Are you looking for a new look on the walls of your living room, perhaps to complement your new sofas or coffee tables?

To remove existing wallpaper from a wall, you will need to soak the wall with water. Before you start, cover the floor to protect the carpet and turn off the electricity if there are wall sockets nearby.

Use a bucket of warm water with a little detergent and soak the wall using a sponge. After a few minutes use a scraper to try and remove the paper from the wall.

Make sure not to dig into the wall as this will pull the plaster off and you’ll have to re-plaster the wall before you can repaper it or paint it. If you start bringing the paper off at a seam, it will come off easier.

Keep re-soaking the wall as you go and if the paper has a coating, score it with a knife as this will allow the water to get through it. Be careful not to score the wall underneath. Sometimes coated wallpaper can be difficult to get off and in this case you can use a steam stripper; the heat will be beneficial in getting the paper off the wall.

To use the stripper, fill the tank with water. After a few minutes, the machine will have heated up and will be ready to use. Hold the plate against the wallpaper and let the steam loosen it from the wall. You may need to do this more than once for coated wallpaper. When loose, you will be able to pull the wallpaper from the wall using the scraper. Always start at the bottom and work upwards. When the tank is empty – refill.

A Chair that Catches the Eye

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

For many of us, most of our working lives are spent occupying Office Chairs. However, since we never really take notice of our new office chairs, we often take them for granted. But talented designers who are willing to renegotiate our relationship with chairs have added a human touch and brought our eyes back down to human nature. Stylish, very modern, very sexy – Fabio Novembre’s His and Her chairs are overtly sensual enough to not be to everyone’s taste, but there’s no denying their (eyebrow-raising) power. These chairs are not suited to the conventional Office Furniture, but rather retain their symbolic interpretation of a home office chair.

Your Room Furnishings

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Probably choosing the right places in the home for the items we already own we make very important decision. Placement of furnishings in a room plays great role because it’s not only visible aspect such as the visual size of a room but also it can have an influence on the mood and the functioning of the family.

Here is some very useful rules you can follow arranging your home place.

1.Get some graph paper, and use a 1 square=1inch method. Cut pieces of paper the size of your furniture pieces, and mark them as such. Now move the furniture pieces around the graph paper until you find an arrangement you like.
2. Try taking all the small items out of the room first, then concentrate just on the large scale items to start.
3. Don’t block the view! Use low or small scale pieces in front of a window.

Table Chair Concept.

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

I suppose Table Chair is great idea because sometimes you need an extra chair and sometimes you need a table that’s truth. These modern chairs can be either or depending on your needs. By simply pushing the two chairs together they transform into a table. Each chair has a notch to slide in one another. Now unused seating has some other place to go. When you’ve got visitors and need an extra chair or two you simply pull them apart. Tada, you got two chairs! This needs to show up at IKEA stat!

The Table Chair, by Joel Hesselgren, uses a notched, slot together design for the transformation into 1980s executive lounge coffee table, a simple and clever idea. The only problem we can see (apart from the chairs looking so damn uncomfortable) is that the slotted backs would cause the chairs to flex horribly. For occasional use only.
