Hello,

Are you bored of your current room/home/office space? Looking for a change? But not having to buy new furniture or spend a bomb? Then go on reading the below ideas:

For most of us, replacing all of your furniture room by room isn’t feasible. That doesn’t mean you can’t make simple, easy and often-inexpensive changes to rooms in your home. Here are some easy ways to change the look of any room without buying any new furniture.

Give your windows something new to wear. Ready-to-hang window treatments are easy to install and yield dramatic results. Windows can be dressed to perfectly suit your style and taste. You can go bold and graphic with geometric curtain panels, or beachy with gauzy white sheers, or minimalist with bamboo shades—the options are endless.

 

Place flowers with a flourish for an instant breath of fresh air in any room. Or, if you prefer, potted ferns, wreaths, and potpourri can also make a statement. The focal point of the display doesn’t have to be only the greenery— give thought to the vase, as well.

 

A simple area rug can dramatically change the feel of a room. Dress up with an Oriental rug, or lighten up a dark room with a light colored rug, or add colors through a funky patterned rug.

 

Brighten up with new lighting. Proper lighting can truly bring a room to life.  A poorly lit room looks small, dark and cramped, while a brightly lit room appears open, airy and welcoming. Strategically place a couple tall floor lamps in dark corners, Layer this lighting with lamps on side tables, or you can replace all those outdated ceiling fixtures with the stunning modern masterpieces. All this makes your room feel welcoming and cozy.

 

One word: Paint. “Paint it” is the most common suggestion you’ll hear to update a room. It seems obvious but a clean coat of paint can take a room from drab to fab. Consider adding a punch of color on an accent wall, or just touch up your trim with a clean coat of white paint. If your home already has a fresh coat of paint, then look to other things that could use a touch-up.  Maybe paint your ceiling a cool blue, or bring new life to an outdated piece of furniture with a new coat of paint. A deep clean and a new coat of paint can go a long way when it comes to revamping our rooms without major renovations.

 

Install decorative display shelves. You’ll solve storage and decorating issues at the same time. If you collect shells, matchbooks, or family photos, don’t hide them away. Give each their own space to shine, and give your room a new vibe in the process. Mirrors when placed opposite windows reflect light into the room and make the room seem more open.

 

Wallpaper an accent wall. Consider covering the main wall of your bedroom with a peaceful pattern, or consider a living room update by covering one wall with a funky geometric patterned paper.

 

Last but not the least. Add colorful cushions. Cushions are significant decorating accessories that make your space look stylish and versatile and are light on your budget of home décor. If you lead a very casual/informal lifestyle, funky/jazzy designs suit you the best. Then create a good mix of colorful and decorative cushions in unusual shapes and create a delightful atmosphere.

Hope these ideas help you in bringing a little change in your home or space.

xoxo

Hello Everyone!

Stuck on how to accessorize an end table or nightstand?

There are so many ways to style/accessorize a table, and really there are no rules. However, if you aren’t sure where to begin below is a list of basic items to use that you can’t go wrong with:

*A lamp
*Artwork/mirror
*Books
* Floral/branches

In addition, here are a few more accessorizing tips to get you on your way:
Use items of varied heights to keep the eye moving.  Have something short, something medium, and something tall.  Use stacked books to add height if needed.
Layer your accessories.  Don’t be afraid to let your lamp cover a portion of the artwork.
Group differently shaped items together.  If everything is square/rectangle it just looks boring.
Add pops of color.
Use unique items that mean something to you, such as something purchased from a trip.  These are great conversation starters, and will add a lot of character to your arrangement.

Hello Everyone!!

Recently, I had come across a “pixel inspired furniture piece” at THE HOTEL SHOW exhibition that took place 2 weeks back in Dubai World Trade Center.  Since then I am very fascinated with such an innovative design.  The pointillism painters were fascinated by them in the late 1800′s. Modern society measures picture quality with them. And these days, they have become a source of inspiration in decor. Pixels are now common in the design world featured as graphic prints on everything from pillows to bed-sheets to meticulously-constructed lamps and clocks. A dizzying array of designers has set their sights on this pixel-inspired trend. From furniture and lighting to tiles and textiles, items are getting cubed, bitmapped and scattered.

This enthrallment may in part be sparked by an increasingly digital world and in part by our initial fascination with dots, evident during the pointillism period in art – how a large group of many tiny dots, varying in color, can compose a larger image. Regardless, they make for funky and modern touches in our living room or bedroom and are probably a good conversation starter.

Listed below are some of the most coolest and imaginative examples of pixelated designs that I came across (Thanks to Google :)) and I promise you each and every piece will enthrall you with its creativity.

These below 8-bit inspired furniture designs are the brain-child of London-based Designer Cristian Zuzunaga. His Interior accessory store has a cool collection of pillows, rugs and couches that celebrate pixels.
