There’s a saying in the design world that every wall is a blank canvas. But if your walls have been looking just a little too, well, blank lately, it’s time to give it an update. Wall treatments will transform your walls in a jiffy. Unexpected textures, materials, bold and vibrant colors, patterns, wall tiles and mosaics, there’s a lot on offer for the home owner as opposed to just paints and wallpapers. Playing with the wall surface creates a more dynamic space. When there’s something unexpected on the walls, the room achieves a more layered look that draws the eye around. The best wall designs don’t fade into the background, but make a room a work of art.

Walls of fame: Huge flowers, wide stripes and other bodacious motifs provide instant atmosphere. In small spaces, the right oversized pattern will erase boundaries, diminishing angles and corners so the room seems bigger than it is. Go in for sculptured designs. So, even as you keep the clutter in check, you will create a décor statement.

You can be happy, when your personal style is reflected in your space. With the new year here, there’s a lot to look forward to. Lush greens, dancing palms, buds plump with life, colors waiting to explode…get the drift? Translate this burst of life into your indoors and give it a look that’s yours and yours alone.

Texture is only second to the immediate impact of color. In our books, it is just as important in terms of what it contributes to the feel of your room. Sensual and tactile, textural fabrics add a sense of comfort. The term ‘texture’ usually describes the way light plays on the surface of a fabric. Shiny or silky cloths reflect light, making the surface look brighter, so they are often used to make a space seem larger. In contrast rough-hewn weaves absorb light, and can create a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. When combined with color, texture can be used to add a sense of luxury.

If you like the whole textured look, opt for fabrics like Continue reading “Jeweled Coffers” »

Stairway to Heaven!

Stairway to Heaven!

To highlight the sheer magnanimity of your space, you must be smart enough to use your staircase to your advantage. Create a focal point for your room around the staircase with color, material, style and finish. Over and above that, utilize the vacant space under it for storage, service counters and even displays.

As the most private room in your house, bedrooms demands special attention. Did you know that the average person spends up to a third of their life in bed? This fact alone is enough to emphasize the importance of creating a well-planned and relaxing space in which to sleep. However, few people have the luxury of being able to allocate a room to just sleeping or accommodating a bed. Today, most bedrooms must at least provide a dressing area and storage space for clothes, and some do more – doubling as an office space, private living room or, in the case of children, playroom. Ensuring that all these additional needs are catered for, and that the room is still a relaxing and soothing place to be, can be a challenging task. But smart planning and ergonomic furniture options will make it a lot easier for you.

Coordinated Chic

Go for a simple but coordinated look. This will lend a more cohesive look to your bedroom.

Lush tactile fabrics, deep-pile rugs are Continue reading “Live Life King Size….” »
