minimalistic furniture

Tessa wrote us with a design dilemma hoping we could offer some help: “I am writing to you now with a problem of my own. We live in a beautiful 19th century mansion in Washington, DC. It is gorgeous and wonderful, but we rent it and are not allowed to paint any of the rooms. I am about to move into a different bedroom that is gorgeous, but painted one of my least favorite colors- burgundy.

minimalistic Bedroom

I hate burgundy! I tend to lean toward super bright hues (oranges, yellows, apple greens, etc.) when I decorate, and I am wondering (and hoping) that you guys might have some suggestions of what could possibly look good with this awful dark mess. Anything I have tried makes the room look like either a men’s smoking lounge or a cheesy Victorian salon. I haven’t seen you post many pics of burgundy rooms, so I thought you might have some cool ones hiding somewhere. Please help me out.”

minimalistic bedroom

It’s cool, it’s chic, it’s artsy and classic. In fact, decades after the “minimal look” first appeared on the design scene, it continues to be a favorite among designers, architects and homeowners. Minimal furniture (and the fewest number of knick-knacks possible) can do exactly the opposite of what you might imagine. Instead of drab and sad, a minimal space can look high-impact and dramatic. Architectural details and features suddenly pop out.

Light shines through. Somehow, an uncluttered space suggests abundance and affluence (or at least good taste) rather than paucity or scarcity. A minimal home is like a woman who resists slathering on makeup. She knows that no matter how beautiful she is, too much make-up will only call attention to the make-up, not her beauty.

minimalistic bedroom

Many of us already know this instinctively, and that’s what keeps minimalism so popular through the decades. But some of us who have accepted the philosophy of minimalism are grappling with a different question: how can we achieve a minimal look that still works for daily life? Can minimal be clean and chic, but cozy and comfortable too?

1. Choose furnishings with the utmost care. If you’re going for minimal, every piece of furniture you own has to be functional, comfortable AND beautiful. You can’t waste space with a chair that is comfortable and ugly, or with a sofa that is beautiful but uncomfortable. Every stick of furniture in your home must fulfill the twin requirements of function and beauty.

2. Don’t abandon decorative touches. Yes, a woman may wear minimal make-up but she’s usually doing herself no favors if she wears none at all. Small, carefully selected decorative touches can have a special impact in a minimalist space. A single painting, a dramatic houseplant, an interesting pendant lamp, a beautiful rug, can warm up a home without seeming overdone or cluttered.

3. Make use of built-ins. You love minimalism but you have plenty of books. How do you handle them? The secret: incorporate plenty of built-ins that can stand in for furniture. So if you have books, opt for built-in book shelves. If you love television but you don’t want a lot of audio-video equipment cluttering your home, think about a built-in projector. Built-ins can include dining nooks, window seats, built-in couches and chairs, and storage units. In the room above, built-in shelves provide a space for books without interfering with the pared down look of the room.

4. Go multi-functional. Everything in your home needs to do double-duty. A coffee table needs to function not just as a place to set a coffee mug, but as a storage unit for books, magazines or toys. A couch needs to function as seating, but also possibly as a bed for guests. Chairs should be light and mobile enough to function as seating for long conversations, or as theatre seating for television viewing. If furniture can’t serve more than one purpose, it shouldn’t be in your home.

5. Pay special attention to materials. It’s hard to fudge mistakes in minimal homes. For instance, we’ve heard of homes with beautiful concrete floors that can’t be cleaned without getting stained. That’s not functional or beautiful. So when you choose flooring, countertops and fixtures, make sure you choose resistant, hard-wearing materials that can stand daily wear and tear, because after all, not much can be swept under the rug in a minimal home.

6. Relax the rules, just a bit. Let’s say you’re afraid that a minimalist home will feel bleak and colorless. Well, feel free to break a few rules! Introduce colorful ethnic rugs in your space, or a fluffy flokati pillow. In the kitchen below, a few measured decorative touches — like throw pillows and house plants — counterpoint the crisp modern laminate cabinets. A few unexpected twists will make your decor feel fresh.

7. Tweak your home as time goes on. You may start off with a completely minimalist home, and find that over time, more treasured objects make their way into your space. Or you may start off with a cluttered home, and slowly eliminate unnecessary objects. Whatever tack you take, maintaining a home that really works is always a process calling for constant reevaluation: is an object worthy of bringing into your home? Will it serve a purpose? Is it beautiful enough? Is it comfortable enough? If you think carefully as you furnish a minimalist home you will find its possible to make a simple interior lively, eclectic and comfortable, too.

The Lives of the Rich and Famous

Well we are not talking about any TV soap here. But taking a close look at their home styles is a good way to set your gaze for the coming years. According to a recent survey it was found that the changing trends in the house remodeling styles are guided by the high-end homes. So if you want to foresee what’s going to be the hotcake of the neighborhood in next 6 years then a quick trip to some of the open houses in the up class and affluent communities is a good idea.

Make it Durable

One of the very important factors for any house is the durability of the house. Invest your money in materials that can endure the test of time. Avoid cheap materials, as they will start to show gouges as years pass by. Instead go for quality substance so that you don’t have to put energy and money on it later on.

Think Bold and Different

One interesting home remodeling tip is to make your home look interesting and different. If you are thinking from the selling point also, go for something that will appeal to the next generation.

If you have a spare room in your house then try remodeling it by adding some cabinets and closets. Make space to keep your food items and also things that are not required on an everyday basis. You can also remodel it by making space for your hobbies and recreation corner.

A Thought for the Elderly

Make the home more accessible so that they can move around more comfortably and freely. While remodeling have wider hallways and doors. This will even be useful when you want to move bigger pieces of furniture as well. So whether you have parents living with you or visiting for a while, this is going to be of a great help.

Decorating a Child's Room

2008-11-27T03:56:00.005-08:00

8 Simple Strategies to Make You Both Happy!

Decorating a Kids Room When it comes to decorating a child's room, your approach should be much different from decorating an adult bedroom.

For kids, their bedroom is where they play games, read, listen to music, day-dream, or just go to be alone sometimes. So use these eight strategies to help create a space that will make you both happy:

Decorating a Child's Room
1. Talk to your child. Find out what activities and fantasies he or she enjoys; what their favorite color is; and what's unique about their personality that a theme could be built around.

2. Allow your child to help. Let them have a say about colors, fabrics, and how they want to display their collectibles.

3. Make the room multi-functional. Since children use their room for many activities besides sleeping, it should have several different zones, such as a play area, reading area, and entertainment area.

4. Make storage a priority. Try shelving, large decorative wicker baskets, plastic see-through containers, and closets that contain plenty of shelving and racks.

5. Keep window treatments simple. Avoid long draperies. Shades, blinds, and shorter curtains are safer choices. The fabric should be versatile, and patterns should be repeated in other items in the room, such as in pillows, quilts, lampshades, bed ruffles, etc.

6. Choose the right lighting. A child’s room should include both task lighting for homework and reading, and soothing light for quieter times. A nightlight is also important.

7. Use wallpaper or paint (if it is allowed in your lease) to add color and texture. You can apply whimsical borders along the top edges of the walls, and clouds or stars on the ceiling. Make sure walls are washable, so if you are using paint, choose a semi-gloss or gloss finish. Kids love bright colors, but you should limit any strong color to only one wall.

Child's Room Decoration

8. Allow your child to select the design theme. Here are just a few: firehouse fun room, starry night, angels, rainbows, unicorns, baseball, a bedroom for a princess, underwater scenery, outer space, race cars, airplanes, trains, jungle motifs, wizards and dragons, and dinosaurs.

Decorating with your child offers a great opportunity to display your playful side, while doing some memorable family bonding, so have fun with it!

Selecting the Right Furniture

One of the most important aspects when going for cheap home decor is the furniture. If you are planning to buy some new furniture, think out how versatile is it. Select furniture pieces that have multiple tasks. For example when you are trying to select a entertainment center, then go for a piece that can keep both your music system as well as the TV. Try to have room for your DVD and decks all in one.

One can also go for second hand furniture for home decoration. For example an old dresser can fit quite snugly in your bathroom giving you a place to store things. Simply put the mirror and sink on top of it and you have yourself a cheap home decor idea in place.

An easy and cheap home decorating tip is to play with colors. It is the simplest way to spruce up a dull room. Paint the walls according to your liking. It is always advised to go for subtle and soft colors. Keep the daring and bold colors for your home decor accessories that can be changed easily. When selecting the color, make sure the corresponding room complements the color. One can even go for the color break that is very much in nowadays. One has to be careful while selecting the theme of the color break. Take the help of your painter to get the best combination for such a room. Finally add a wall accessory that has the same color or nearby similar colors and feel proud at the wonder.

Deck the Walls

One more easy home decor idea is to deck the walls. Inexpensive wall accessories are a great way to get creative. Take out those family pictures add a personal touch to your rooms. Even creating a collage work and putting it on the wall is a great way to spice up your room.

Home Interior Lighting

Believe it or not, lighting plays a big role in giving that warm and inviting look to your home. Do away with those blaring white lights and go for dim lighting. One cheap home decor idea to get this done is by mix n match technique. Just switch the lamp bases and shades for some trendy looking lighting solutions.

Rustic Home Decoration

2008-11-27T03:52:00.001-08:00

Rustic home decor brings to mind the perfect ambience of the deep woods, the log huts and the peaceful mountain retreats. But is it always possible to be surrounded in this serene delight? Well the answer is Absolutely!!

In the section of rustic home decorations we bring together ideas and tips to bring the rustic appeal of the outdoors within your home. With a bit of rustic interior decorations one can get the perfect log hut effect.

The idea behind the modern rustic home decor is to get comfort and style blend in together. So now you can eagerly look forward to bring home the wonderful holiday experience of the deep forests all complete with all the modern and daily life amenities and comfort. Just read along these great tips and ideas and decorate your home in a rustic theme.

Color and Textures for Rustic Decorations
Rustic decorating style is one such decor style where the color and texture more or less remain on the same lines. It is better to go for neutral, natural and earth tones. Select something that is in the nature colors. When selecting textures use wood that is not finely planed. Add some unpolished granite with plank floors for that rough and natural look. An exposed rock in plastered walls is quite a common theme when going for rustic home decor and looks very impressive too.

One of the best things of the rustic decor theme is that the things that go into making it are easily available and are inexpensive too. For example you can use stone to make a room-dividing wall. To complete the look, add some timber beams across the room ceiling. For accessories go for the different animal hides, rag rugs and rough woolens to complete the feel.

Rustic Home Decoration Furnishings

Furnishings

When selecting furniture for your rustic home decorations go for the ones made out of logs, planks and knotted wood to create a strong wood effect. The best place to find the stuff is the flea market or even the garage sales. Avoid those intricate woodcarvings and designs. Instead select pieces that have a natural look with worn out finishing.

For your bedroom, select from the pole log beds and sofas. Rocking chairs and sliced tree trunk coffee tables with driftwood lamps can make your balcony a cozy setup for a romantic time together. All that the people think as completely waste has a place in rustic interior decorations, so let your imagination run wild.

Home Accessories

Dining area is one place where lot of experimenting can be done in rustic home decoration. You can go for a long plank table complemented by wooden armchairs to complete the look. Even circular wooden table is great if you have a limited space. Select a round or oval rag rug to warm up the ambience.

Rustic Home Accessories

This is one more area where there is plenty of scope to experiment. Select some patchwork quilts and get cuddly with your partner. An old style mirror and some nature paintings and pictures go perfectly for the wall accessories. How about using water cans and buckets for flower arrangements? Once you get started there’s no stopping you.

I had posted a month or so ago about wanting to apply for an Interior Designer Position at IKEA. Shortly after I had posted about it, I had another job offer. I was offered to work at a new antique mall that is opening 5 minutes from my house. I love antique malls, and worked at one for 5 years. My favorite job ever, and really the only job I have ever LOVED. My boss is someone that I have already worked for and someone I get along with VERY well. In a nutshell, I took the job. The timing felt right and I am very excited about it. I decided to stick with keeping my small Interior Design business as my "design outlet", and going to IKEA just for fun to shop. I didn't want to end up hating the place because I worked there 40 hours a week.

I will be doing a Home & Garden Show in March 2008 to hopefully get some clients to design for. March will be here before I know it. I have been brainstorming on how I want to design my booth. Its so important to stand out and catch people's attention!

Kiitos Marimekko Bedding (link)

Love all this bedding and the patterns. The black and white circles is my favorite!! I have done two shows so far and both my booths have been nurseries. I want to do something a bit older this time. I also really want to design my booth contemporary. I think its my strong point, and its what I love to do.

This image is of a room I can't get out of my head! I love it! It's been saved on my computers for over a year. Its modern with great colors, but its not to grown up. The popart of the little boy is adds great personal touch. I love the red all the way around the room. He also has cooler furniture then me!!!
Yellow Kids room
I am in love with this kids' room also. Love the colors. Love the stripes. Even though I have already painted a striped room, I am leaning towards stripes for my booth! Of course I wouldn't copycat these rooms. I am just inspired by them. They make me want to design.

Here is some inspiration boards I have made. I am in love with this IKEA line for kids'. I wanted to do something more unisex, then boy or girl.

My main problem at the moment is deciding on the furniture. My booth is only 8ft X 10ft. This is why I have only done nurseries. The furniture has always been smaller. I love this bedframe from IKEA.

It has the look I am going for. If I put a twin size bed in my booth though there won't be much room for me, or anything else. We'll see. If anyone has seen any great mod kids' stuff, websites, or has any ideas, please share them with me!!!!

Kids Rooms How To Redecorate

2008-11-27T03:49:00.000-08:00

Most likely if you are looking at redecorating kids rooms; you want nice splashy colors that exemplify youth and energy.Kids Rooms DEcoration

Kids rooms can actually help shape the youngster because the colors stimulate moods.

Therefore, you have to give your kid an extra boost when decorating their home.

Also, if you want your kid’s room to feel like a sanctuary to them, and a safe place to end their day, you have to make sure you pick designs that both you and they approve of.

Decorating and bondingKids Rooms DEcoration

Redecorating your kid’s room can be a wonderful time to bond with your child and show them that their opinions are valued. You should make sure your child is always involved if you are redecorating kid’s rooms, no matter what their age.

One of the most thrilling activities for a child is being told that they can pick out the color scheme. The way you keep a handle on their selections is by only bringing home color swatches for the kid’s rooms that you approve of. Greens are a nice neutral shade that can appeal in both genders of kid’s rooms, blue similarly works the same way.

Soft colors with a kick

A very popular trend right now is to pick a neutral soft yellow hue, or an ivory for the room color and then to pick an accent color that helps distinguish and add spirit to kid’s rooms.

For example, if you go with a soft yellow, you can decorate the room with hunter green blinds or window curtains, and a nice patterned bedspread.

You can also go with blues and other earthy tones if the room has a nice yellow base. Not only will this give you a great deal of room to negotiate and work with your children while decorating kid’s rooms, but is much easier to change accent colors than wall colors as they grow and start to hate strong colors.Child RoomDEcoration

Character Themes

As far as the wall decorations for kid’s rooms, many parents want to choose childhood themes such as Pooh Bear or Snoopy. However, these themes only work for the first few years that are spent in the kid’s rooms, but a solid color without wallpaper patterns will last much longer.

You might consider purchasing a framed picture if your child is interested in a character or two. Also remember that kids trends and picks only last a few months at most, so unless you always want to be redecorating kid’s rooms, try to avoid character themes, and instead develop comfortable themes.

Inspirational Interior Design of the Day : Bedroom with an Amazing View

Today Inspirational Interior Design of the Day is something really really beautiful, at least from my perspective, a bedroom with an amazing view. You can fall asleep under the stars every night and wake up in the morning with a spectacular view …just imagine having this bedroom in a quiet place somewhere on an island. For those of you who might have privacy problems there is a curtain that can be drawn to surround the interior when privacy is absolutely necessary – otherwise, who would want to block such a view. The bedroom features an Anarima bed by Roche Bobois that is made of upholstered Elegance leather with adjustable headrests and a solid beech pedestal.

Christmas Decorating Your Home for Christmas

Christmas Decoration

If you are on a tight budget and you want to decorate for the Christmas holiday you can still spruce up the home and make it look quite festive. Bows are one of the best things you can use to decorate and make it look like Christmas and they are super cheap.

It is best to get your favorite fabric at a fabric store. Some fabrics look nicer than others when it comes to bows for the holiday. You can purchase really cheap velvet and satin fabric for your bows. Red and green are the best colors because they are the traditional colors of Christmas. You will cut the fabric in strands of about a foot or two feet long. This usually depends on how big or small you want the bows to be.

Artificial Christmas trees look great when you decorate them with bows. You can use a simple strand of white lights and red and green bows. Bows can entirely replace the annoying bulbs that you hang on the tree. Plus, you don’t have to worry about hooks and broken glass from glass bulbs. Be sure to evenly tie the bows around the tree. Don’t put all red on one side and all green on the other. Artificial Christmas trees look best when the colors are spread evenly throughout the tree. It is amazing how neat the tree looks with just a bunch of bows. When the holiday is over all you have to do is pull the bows off and fold up the artificial Christmas tree.

Bows are also excellent to use around the home for Christmas. You can tie them on door handles throughout the house. It is a great way to make your houseplants look festive also. You can tie a simple bow around the container the plant is in or around the branches of your indoor trees. Some people like to strand indoor lights around their indoor trees too.

Bows also look excellent outdoors too. If you have trees outside in the front yard you want to decorate it is super simple with bows and it won’t cost you much money at all. Be sure that if you do begin decorating outside you finish the job though. You never want a half decorated yard and you also don’t want to have it look funny. This is why bows are the best. You can put an oversized bow on the front door, bows on the garage door, and bows on the outside trees. This looks fabulous.

Decorating for Christmas can be extremely expensive. If you are already on a tight budget for the holidays and you need a cheap way to make your home look festive, use bows. The home can look wonderful with bows. They are simple and fabric is cheap. If you choose to buy a more expensive fabric you can save the bows for next year and continue to use them every year. Bows look amazing around the houseplants, on the doors, and all over the Christmas tree.

Christmas Decoration ideas
San Diego Christmas Tree Delivery

Established in November 1981 in Solana Beach, California, Lion In the Sun presents a full service San Diego Christmas Design Center to fulfill the needs of the community. A high style, Christmas Decoration design ideology permeated the original conception.

San Diego Christmas Decoration & Design

Themes are the road map of great design. Most successful decors start with a theme or better a road map on where you want your decoration to end up. From the Rose Parade to Tiffany's famous blue boxes. Restaurants use a theme to compliment their menu, and decorators turn to themes to give their rooms direction, focus, and interestropical to Seasonal arrangements, from a single rose to a full wedding event. Themed holiday decor should be the center of your decorating efforts and are lots of fun to put together. For collectors a themed tree may be another chance to showcase prized collectibles. For others, using small themed trees can add color and light to your child's room, guestroom, or a kitchen. A quick cute idea for the little one rooms, wrap a small tree with a few strings of lights, tie on everyday items (crayons and small toys, and embellish with ribbons or tiny garlands and you've created a wonderful personalized decoration. Our designers can utilize your existing theme & crafts to help create a shared vision or conceptionalize a new theme to thrill your family and friends. Many San Diego crafters can use a theme to gather handmade pieces and vintage items into a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Chances are that decorating a Christmas tree is no mystery to you. But who wouldn't like to know a few designer tricks? How about ways to get more lushness and drama? The secret is in the layers. The picture above illustrates a technique that most home decorators miss completely: using overscaled ornaments. The large silver balls and stars have a huge clean impact. Though oversized decorations often cost a bit more, they balance in the fact that you won't need many (about a dozen for an average size tree). The effect however will be stunning.

Lights first: Start arranging Christmas tree lights on the branches near the base of the tree. Weave strings of lights along the branches "inside," then move to the outer edges of the branches. Start by arranging the "filler ornaments" evenly spaced around the tree.This would include basic solid color balls (Depending on theme) that are easily found at discount stores in a wide range of colors to coordinate and enhance your decorating scheme. You'll need about 20 "filler ornaments" for every 2 feet of Christmas tree. Don't hang all your ornament on the tips of the branches. Place ornaments and other decorations 'inside' your tree this adds depth and interest. Mix one-of-a-kind special ornaments between the basic ornaments. Plan to use at least 10 special themed ornaments for every 2 feet of tree. As your collection grows, put the special ornaments closer together.

Simple equals elegant. Once you choose your theme stick with it. Resist the temptation to continue adding and adding, Above a office interior is clean and elegant folowing the simple is elegant rule. Choosing a color scheme will make all of your decorating decisions easier. Select a color scheme based on things you already have, on a favorite holiday decoration, on appropriate colors for your theme, or based on the colors in your home. Above the white Christmas theme is not over powered with bright colored presents under the tree. Notice the even the poinsettias's in the background are off white rather then brighter contrasting colors.

Add consistency throughout your holiday decor by repeating colors, themes, and decorating elements. If your choice is "red beaded fruit" for example, then use it on your front door wreath, on your stairway garland, on your Christmas tree, and in your centerpiece. Use this principle of repetition for a color scheme, choice of ribbons, patterns, ornaments, and motifs. Repetition also means that you'll need to make, or purchase, enough of something to really make a statement. Collect elements over the years or make a commitment to buy 10 bolts of the "perfect" ribbons to get the look you want. Proportion - Vary the size of the elements used in holiday decor. For example, decorate your tree with a mix of small, medium, and larger ornaments. Or, pair garlands in varying widths for more interest, or even mix light sizes on the tree. Use holiday nosegays to make a statement.
