The bedroom is a personal space for everyone. It is painted in the colors of your personality and gives you a chance to express yourself, just the way you are. In fact, if you really want to know about someone’s persona, you must definitely pay attention to his bedroom. The colors, the furniture, the design themes say a lot about your personality than your clothes. So how do you make sure that the bedroom keeps glowing at all times and helps you in developing your personality? Just read on our tips for some great bedroom design ideas and you would get to know.

  • Bedroom Design Ideas To Swear ByAlways make sure that you pay a lot of attention to the theme that you would be choosing for your bedroom. Ideally, the theme for your bedroom should be reflecting your persona or your interests. This helps you in making sure that the room actually looks like a private space. However, make sure that you are not choosing a bedroom theme based on your current interested. You need to focus on your steady interests. There is a small distinction between the two. If you choose your current interests, they may change and make the bedroom look irrelevant. However, if you choose your steady interests, you would be helping it stay relevant for longer. For example, you may like music but rock is your current favorite genre. Your room should reflect more of music in general than rock as it might change tomorrow. Don’t ever go for artist based themes or movie themes as they become irrelevant sooner than you thought.
  • Don’t forget the fact that you always have to buy furniture that is strong and durable. The antique style furniture should be avoided unless you have an extremely liking for it. Chances are, that most of the designs that you would be choosing in the upcoming years would be based more on contemporary or modern furniture design ideas. If you buy such styles in durable and strong varieties, you would be able to make your furniture last longer and save a lot of dollars as well.
  • DO NOT ever feel like two cupboards would be better than one. This doesn’t work with bedrooms. The more space you have to store things, the more things you would end up buying and this would obviously be making you feel erratic after some point in time. Instead of opting for a couple of huge cupboards, opt for something that is more practical and saves space. Beds that come with storage like the divan beds are an excellent choice for that matter. They would help you save more space. Remember, if a bedroom is simply full of furniture, it would never be able to portray your personality well.
  • Always make sure that you match the color and designs of the curtains with the pillows and cushions. You can also chose cushions in contrasting colors with each other or the bed linen. This help in creating the right impact for your room at all times.

Nothing in the world creates as good an impression as your living room. While your kitchen and bedroom are the more private spaces in the house, the living room is something that is common and accessible to anyone. This is why you need a great interior design and decoration idea for this room. The more you focus on the beauty of your room, the better the impression you would be able to create on the visitors. We are sure that you have had a tough time in finding the right kind of décor for your living room. It takes a lot of thought. However, we have a very soft and appealing idea that is inspired from the Georgian and cottage style home design ideas that would certainly prove to be a good option for you. Have a look.

As usual, we would start with the walls of the house. These need to be painted with a very soft shade of green. A light shade of leaf green would be a great choice for the room. Green makes you calm down and would be quite helpful in relaxing your nerves and making you feel really great. Think about the color of a cucumber smoothie. This would give you a good idea of what exactly is needed by you. Don’t go for accents as they would not be helping the room stand out in any way and are largely unnecessary.

However, if your room is designed in such a way that accents would become necessary, just go for a darker hue of green and you would be able to manage the look. Now, we think about the windows and door colors. You can go for a pastel shade of blue or dry a deeper shade of the cucumber green color that you have used on the walls. Team them up with beautiful floral curtains. They should, again, be a different hue of green and must have flowers in contrasting colors like red. You can also add one sheer white curtain along with this.

Now, go for bright sofas. They need to be thickly padded and must be as fluffy as possible. However, this fluffiness must only be maintained in the looks. As such, the sofas should be very firm. The color can be carrot red that comes with floral or feminine designs. Make sure that it instantly catches your attention and provides a soothing contrast to the color of the walls. Add an ottoman with a similar look.

You can also add one fluffy but firm stool near the window to get the right amount of seating necessary in the room. To accentuate a Georgian appearance after you have added the cottage feel, simply add one beautiful warm honey brown serpentine chest that comes with antique looks and you would be finding the perfect combination for yourself. Add a couple of lamps on the top that must also be in deeper shades of green and you would be finding the perfect living room you have been looking for.

Architectural details in the house definitely make it look more glamorous and beautiful. However, as an average homeowner who has galleries that remain empty, hallways that lead to nowhere and a staircase that comes with an empty space, you know how much trouble these vacant spots can create. In general, a house becomes a home only when it is decorated with the right kind of furniture and accessories. It is quite possible that these empty spaces in your house look quite irritating. You must never stick only to the specific rooms when it comes to home designs. You also have to make sure that you use the leftover space wisely and create more value in your house. But how do you do that? Let us have a look at some simple tips that would ensure the same.

Using The Extra Space Wisely

  • Look for storage options in the space- one of the things that bothers homeowners the most is the lack of storage space. You might think that chests and cupboards are only meant for the bedrooms. However, this is not true. You have the option of keeping storage furniture like big cupboards and chests in this empty space. It would help in decorating your room and would also make sure that you are paying enough attention to the storage space issue. Keeping a big closet here is always a great idea.
  • Look for seating options in the space- this can be one of your new spaces for coffee tables. If it is under a staircase or if there is a big open window in whatever gallery you are using this, then it can become a great place for your coffee table. You can even place a settee or a sofa in this space to make it look attractive. Other options may include some statement chairs that are bought from the local discount furniture store would look great here as well. This space would usually be a quieter space, therefore, you can even keep a bookcase here and arrange for a table and a couple of chairs and make it a small study or reading room.
  • Utilize old furniture in the house- it is so easy to buy new furniture for yourself. However, when it comes to discarding the old furniture, it definitely becomes a problem. We understand that changing your living furniture at regular intervals can be a necessity at times. Therefore, we suggest that you take the older furniture, add a few tweaks and try to re-fabricate it and use it in these empty spaces. Sometimes, they can come in really handy when there are many people in the house. Moreover, you would never have to discard a furniture that isn’t bad, but just out of fashion.

Decorate these empty spaces just like you would decorate other rooms in the house. If not, it would simply look like an ugly store room with no personality of its own. Whatever you add here, just add a little bit of furnishing details and you would get a perfect space.

Modern But Luxurious Living Room

Posted by on Feb 28, 2014 in Blogroll | 0 comments

How would you describe a living room? Is it a place where you can entertain your guests? Is it a place where you feel the most relaxed? Is it a space where you can connect with your family? No matter what you chose, it is quite obvious that the living room is the liveliest place in the house. Therefore, you have to make sure that it remains that way. However, when you are entertaining your guests formally, you can’t expect to do so in a brightly colored living room. The room design idea that we would be talking about today is based on a simple, elegant, luxurious and classy theme that would give a very modern look to your home. It is designed especially for an urbane setting but can be used pretty much anywhere that you like. Let us get started.

The most important thing that you need to focus upon in this room is the furniture of the house. Therefore, we would first start talking about the furniture. You need to buy a big fluffy sofa for your living room. Make it a cottage style thickly padded sofa that would help you in making sure that the room retains a very earthen look. The sofa should seat three and must be provided with both large and medium sized cushions. While the sofa must be in an oyster white shade, you can chose the cushions in a complementing pattern. This would help in maintaining the theme of the room. The armrests must be simple and not very high. Keep moss green colored sofas on either side of the 3 seater sofa. These two must follow the contemporary designs but must have a high and straight arm chair. These sofas need not be very fluffy. Just keep them firm and comfortable. It can also come with accents of deep chocolate brown color. A bench with textures and similar moss green colors would complete the look.

Modern But Luxurious Living Room

The table that you must keep in the room should be rectangular in shape and must have a glass tabletop. Keep a small flower vase on the table but keep only yellow flowers here. This is because it would match the theme of the room. Keeping red flowers is also okay but it would hardly do anything to accentuate the look and feel of the room. Keep side tables that are chunky and stand exactly at the height of the armrests of your couch. Add lamps and flowers here to complete the furniture part of the room. You must ideally have large French windows here. Use solid grey and sheer white curtains with patterns. The room must be painted in an extremely light variety of moss green. This would help you in keeping the room looking light even after using heavy furniture over here.

Remember, you don’t have to use anything that is too heavy or too dark in the living room otherwise it looks quite boring. Keep it light but make sure it looks fairly elegant.
