European Luxury At Its Best

Posted by on Dec 25, 2014 in Blogroll | 0 comments

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.

Elegant And Calm Bedroom Design

If you are looking for a bedroom design that looks cool and calm without overdoing the furniture than this design idea would definitely be a great choice. On a number of occasions, we feel we are stuck with heavy beds and linen and don’t quite find the time to reimagine the bedroom. However, this delay causes a lot of stress. An urban lifestyle is definitely not very pleasant towards those old and antique style beds. Therefore, you have to find something that is light and has a great appeal as well. In order to do this, you must first start focusing on the bedroom design idea that would suit your tastes well. Once this is done, you can buy the necessary furniture and get ready for a brand new bedroom for yourself. The bedroom design idea that we would be discussing below is more about calmness in the interior and would definitely suit a master bedroom well.

To begin with, paint the walls of the room in a light but rich moss green. Make sure that there are accents in the room as it disrupts the harmony of the colors and gives a different look altogether. Make sure that the lights in your room are not white but bright amber so that you can relax in your room more often. Now, go for a green lining that runs across the room. This green line should be a bright forest green that is at the height of a typical chair rail. Let it be bright and solid and let it run across the room for a brighter effect. It would help break the monotony of moss green and would make every elements in your room look synchronized. This is quite helpful in making sure that the room remains looking elegant all the while. Opt for window blinds as they look quite nice.

Elegant And Calm Bedroom DesignFor the furniture parts, take a bed that is modern with visible edges. It should be a dark chocolate brown that enriches the color of the room. Go for a plain and simple headboard and don’t try to opt for heavily ‘designer’ beds and furniture. Add very simple glass table top end tables and decorate them with lamps or flower vases. Add a chaise to the room that is placed about 4 to 6 feet away from the foot of the bed. You can add a crushed velvet fabric chaise as well as it makes the room look quite nice. For linen and furnishing, go for solid natural fabrics like cotton. This should be quite helpful. Make sure that the bed linen is not plain, nor does it come with bold designs. Linen with symmetrical and small patterned designs in earthen colors would suit the settings quite well. Finally, you can add a picture or a scenery or a painting over the headboard to provide a little more personality to the room. We have added a cockatoo picture that accentuates the natural outlook of the room and makes it look more relaxing than ever.

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.

Classic Style Home Décor Tips

Posted by on Feb 10, 2014 in Blogroll | 0 comments

Some people like to design their homes in more classic ways. These décor ideas are not very bright or pronounced, nor do they use very deep or light colors. Instead, the classic style is more about taking hints from the past and making sure that timeless home design ideas become a part of your home. This would help you in adopting a design that would not change with the changing styles and trends. You also find that these classic designs are more or less evergreen in nature. They can be utilized in almost every house type, in whatever settings that you like and in whatever context you prefer. The classic style home décor is perfect for every room of the house. They would ideally not appear outdated or old at any time. Here are some of the tips that would help you in creating such a classic décor in your house.

  • Classic Style Home Décor TipsGo minimalistic- always think about using only as many elements of home design as are necessary in your room. Do not think about stuffing things in your room. Smaller rooms should specially be made clutter free. However, even if you have a larger room, avoid the temptation of buying too many things and including too many elements of décor in the room. Use minimalism as they key. Organize your room like you would organize your wardrobe. Keep only as much as is necessary and keep it as simple as possible.
  • Try to accentuate- accents would be making your room look warmer and also help in improving the appeal of the room. However, they don’t necessarily have to come in the walls of the house. You can use cushions, throws, décor items, curtains and other such small elements of home décor so that you can get the right accents in the house. As these are small loose items, they can also be changed frequently so that you can keep getting a new look every time at the lowest of the costs. Don’t even think about painting all the walls in fuchsia or go for purple leather sofas.
  • Use practical and functional furniture- never use any kind of furniture that sit there just for decoration. You have to focus on the furniture being very practical and functional as well. It is not really necessary that you need to keep a coffee table near the window, nor is it necessary to go for ottomans along with the sofa. If it is not needed, it should better not be bought.
  • Use warmer shades- with the classic design ideas, you should be focusing more on furniture designs that come in warmer color shades. Use autumn colors if you really want to create a timeless masterpiece of a furniture design. Caramels and even magnolias would also include warmth in the room.
  • Clear the walls- don’t use too much of decorative items on the walls. Make your space more organized and make sure that there is one huge access piece that can provide you the right look and feel in the room. Using 12 smaller pictures together would not help.
