No matter how hard you try not to stare, the European furniture design at the furniture store definitely catches your eyes. It is so beautiful, catchy and luxurious that it becomes next to impossible to look away from what you have been looking for. This is the also the reason why a number of people only think about European designs when it comes to designing their own luxurious houses. The luxurious European design that we would be talking about below are inspired from Italian luxury homes and contains many warm shades of apricots, terracotta and even tan. This makes the house look perfect without doing much of an effort.

Let us first start with the walls. Covered in a sand brown shade, the walls would definitely be providing you something great to look forward to. This helps in ensuring that you get what you have been looking for in luxury. The sand brown color matches well with every color that we would be using in the furniture and furnishings of the room. Oyster grey windows should be matched with sheer white curtains. To complement them, bring some heavy apricot brown curtains that are lightly textures to complete the look. Never go for white lights in the room. Chose amber shades or any other warm shades that you may like but avoid white as much as possible. This light does help you get the best of the looks. You would be getting three different kinds of couches and sofas in the room. The centerpiece would be a terracotta couch that is firm but thickly padded as well. There would not be much of arm rests here, but you need to add some cushions here.

The second kind of couches would be placed on either side of the terracotta couch and must be a shade of tan. This helps you achieve a better look. Go for textured boards and high armrests and use cushions here as well. This would help break the tan monotony of the room. Now, just go for two individual textured or patterned tan sofas that can be used to fill the space leftover in the living room. You are through with the seating of the room. Don’t forget the fact that you need a lot of cushions over here. However, don’t just ‘throw’ them over. The European style is very formal and you have to abide by those rules. In the center, add an arched leg table with a glass table top. Make sure you have a beautiful, floral printed tan or sand yellow colored rug to add to the brilliance of the room.

You would need a table lamp to finish off the furniture and furnishings of the room. Make sure that everything is quite neat and you don’t have to make it look casual or outgoing. It’s an Italian style luxurious living room that is designed for serious conversations added with a touch of brilliance. Adding a Chinese bowl style flower vase on the table would be a great idea as well.

Ask any homeowner about their experiences in decorating their guest bedrooms and they would be narrating a horrific story of how they have tried to pull the best that they could but ended up with something that they could not even dream about. This is so because guest bedrooms are tricky. Even the best interior designers have to spend more time and effort in designing these rooms. Your own bedroom can be designed according to your taste and personality. However, with guest bedrooms, you are not allowed such freedom. You have to make sure that the bedroom appeals to everyone and provides you the right look and feel. Let us have a look at a very cozy bedroom design idea that would definitely make it a hit.

• Start with the walls. Make them oyster grey or deeper and darker shades of whites. This is one color that can never go wrong in any room. Avoid off white at any cost. It makes the room look empty and doesn’t generally cast a very favorable impression on someone who has to live in it, even for a day. Darker or warmer shades of white are more appealing to everyone. Plus, it would go well with the rest of the theme.
• The theme of the room would be white and deep grey. Remember, you have to focus on grey furniture and white furnishings or vice versa. The bed would be coming in with a white textured headboard which would also be replicated on the inside plank of the wall units. The linen should be deep grey in color. Use a screen behind the bed in order to provide a neutral but powerful personality to the room. If you don’t wish to use this screen, you can even opt for a painting or a huge photograph at this place.
• Opt for a small industrial style side table that is made of metal and painted in deep grey. Add smaller white details or add a white flower pot or contemporary lamp here. The cushions and pillows that you would be using here should also be deep grey in color. Keep the wall unit small, short and very very simple.
• You can even add a pet bed at the side of the room so that the guest, who comes with a pet doesn’t have any issues when it comes to tending their pets. Moreover, the pets would not even leave scratches on the sheets.
• Use bright amber lights in the room. Though grey and white are usually neutral colors, we are using a warmer theme. Therefore, to accentuate the theme and make the environment warm, you would have to make sure that you are using amber lights. Always keep them as bright as possible as deep amber would ruin the look of this room.
• Just to break the monotony of the room, you can keep one small red pillow on the bed. If you are using a flower vase on the end table, decorate it with bright red flowers and get the right look.

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.

Patios are really special parts of your house. This is because it is the only space after the living room where you can socialize with the others. A good patio is a necessity for you home. Therefore, you must always pay attention to making a great seating and socializing space in your backyard or a big lawn if your have one. So, what are the important things that you must focus on when you are getting a patio built for yourself? Basically, you must be focusing on the usage and the size of the patio. This and other things are mentioned below in detail.

• First of all, decide what would be the purpose of the patio if you are planning to get one built for yourself. Many people like their patios to be very private spaces where they sip in their beverages and just look at the stars. There are many others that want the patio to be a space for socializing out in the open. There are many others who want a multipurpose patio. Therefore, you must first decide how you are going to use that patio. Once this is decided, rest of the things would become easier.
• Decide the size of the patio. The size of the patio would largely depend on the size of your backyard but is entirely a matter of your personal preferences. Therefore, be very sure of what you want with that patio. Socializing spaces would obviously be bigger while private patio spaces would be smaller. Therefore, keep these things in mind and make sure you don’t budge much more the size that you have decided for the patio.
• Decide about the decoration of the patio. You might want it to look extremely natural. For this, you have to focus on growing a few plants around it. You can even opt for decorative flower rails all over the patio. Some might want it to look simpler. If this is the case, then you can simply go for carvings. If you are still undecided and don’t even wish to go over the top, just use some fancy lights on the patio. This would help you in making sure that it looks trendy and elegant at the same time.
• Decide the furniture that you would be using for the patio. You have three options. First, is metal. This material is generally used in patios that are more relaxed and provide a good way to get relived of all the stress in life. If you want to use it for a personal space and would only socialize with a small number of people, metal would be a good option. Wood is certainly an evergreen option and it can be used in both casual as well as formal settings. Finally, we have wicker and rattan furniture. It looks quite good and would be providing a very casual and laid-back appearance to the patio. Many people also opt for plastic furniture at this space. You can decide as per your wish.

Are you planning to buy wood furniture for your next home design and renovation project? Well, you have made a great choice certainly. There is nothing better than wood when it comes to providing elegant looks to the furniture and décor theme. The real natural wood is definitely a great choice. It is more durable than ever. Moreover, it has a very good grain and a very good color as well. Therefore, you can definitely expect something good to look forward to. However, buying wood furniture is not an easy job. You would have to face many kinds of issues while buying wood furniture. Though there is no dearth of wood furniture in the market, buying quality furniture items can become a real struggle for the homeowners. Here are three of the most important factors that you must consider while buying wood.

• Look at the origin of wood- one of the biggest problems in finding quality wood is that there is such a variety that even an expert can have a hard time with wood furniture. There are many wooden varieties that belong to the same species but are available in different parts of the world, because of which their characteristics, color and quality vary greatly. Other than that, there is also an increasing variety of composite wood, plywood, particle boards and press boards that would further enhance your confusion about this material. You don’t have to be confused about it. Simply make sure that you get to know about the origin of the wood. Ask where the wood was grown or manufactured. This would help you in understanding the qualities of the wood better than the rest of the factors. For example, there are many trees that are found both in the US and Europe. However, European varieties are darker in shades and are stronger as well. If you can, then please spend some time in understand or researching about the different varieties of wood available to you.
• Manufacturing- no matter how high quality wood you may use, the manufacturing of the furniture would matter a lot. A good quality wood can be destroyed by bad manufacturing. So see how the wood has been made. Are the hinges and joints on their place? Can the furniture drawers move with ease? See how the different parts of the wood have been joined to make the furniture. Touch the furniture upholstery and see if it is made of good quality fabric or not. These are small things that you must understand. One common understanding is that good furniture items might have dowels or screws but they never have staples.
• Finishing- there are different kinds of finishing available in the market these days. They can either be matte or gloss. You can choose it as per your requirements. A common rule of the thumb is that no matter what kind of finishing you chose, it would never have bubbles, rough spots or even dust specks. Smoothness is a good indicator of quality finishing as well.
