Window Cheats

 

Ok, so these rooms are not particularly small, but I think it shows how the more natural light you have in a room the bigger it feels. I know not everyone is lucky enough to have a huge window or sliding door, but if you can put seating or a table near a window, DO IT !! My own kitchen is only about 10 x 12 but I have a sliding door that leads to a screened in porch. That visually makes my kitchen feel A LOT bigger. Move some furniture tonight, place a comfy reading chair by a window !

Anybody else ready to get OUTDOORS

Spring must be close. When I start looking at patio pictures, it usually means the end of winter is here !! I will be looking for pictures of smaller yards and what to do if you have no yard for future post ! Happy Sunday !

Random decoration love

Do you have those decor pictures that make your heart beat a bit faster ? Here are a few of mine. Art that pops in the kitchen, green used outdoors, a fat comfy couch (cute puppy a huge bonus) and a bright white bathroom.

Patio Space

If you have limited space outside (and yes I know a lot of people have NO outdoor space) but if you are limited, a table for just two is always a good thing. If you can't have a party for 30 at least you have a spot for a great conversation one on one!

You can use animal prints in a room with any kind of color scheme. And any kind of material – fur, suede, cord – can be used to make a bold impression. However, to get the best out of animal prints, you need to use them with caution. Here are a few tips and ideas for decorating your bedroom with animal prints.

1. Create a Bold Statement with Your Bedspread
One of the most conspicuous places to use animal prints is on your bedspread or headboard. You can then complement this with solid colored throw pillows. But if you are using a zebra print, you may complement the bold black and white colors with bright colored throw pillows.
 

2. Choose the Best Type of Fabrics
Animal prints are available on different kinds of materials. But you should strive to use the best fabrics in your bedroom. Put a touch of class and glamour into your resting space. You can choose fabrics like faux fur for your throw pillow or bedspread.

3. Use Animal Prints to Cover a Chair
You can decorate your bedroom with an upholstered chair that has a bold animal print. But other furniture around should have solid colors. This will make the animal print stand out and look more attractive.

4. Place Animal Printed Rugs on the Floor
Put a rug with a print of a leopard, tiger or zebra on the bedroom floor. This is one of the easiest ways to add animal prints to your room. And it has a powerful way of drawing the eyes downward. You should however note that if you use an animal printed rug, you would have to make very minimal use of animal prints in other parts of the room.

5. Don’t Overuse Animal Prints
Animal prints can be very bold. Hence, you should use just one kind of animal print on a single item in your bedroom. It is very easy to get excited about animal prints and overuse them. So you need to be a bit conservative. For instance, if you decide to use animal printed wall paper, restrict it to just one wall in your room. The other plain colored walls will help the animal printed wall to stand out and this will keep your room from looking like an animal gift shop.

Glamorous apartment designs

Known as fascinating works of the talented designer Anton Biytsev, these 3 apartments situated in Kiev, the prosperous capital and the largest city of Ukraine displays an artistic mix of sleek lines, neutral color palettes and contemporary architecture and interior design.
Why don’t we take a visit and see how fantastic they are?

In the first apartment, by widely employing the gray color, Anton Biytsev created a lighter nearly white version on the walls that opens up the space. The apartment is comprised of an elegant living room with a marble-style accent wall, an angular modern sofa and chrome coffee table; the luxurious bedrooms and a reflective kitchen cabinetry.

The second apartment welcomes visitors to an exciting living space with a modern living room, interesting wire light fixtures and a small contemporary dinning room beautified by lovely seats.

The third apartment brings a bit more color into the equation. And that color is a bold and stylish mustard yellow.

The space also makes use of levels, with an elevated dining room that gives the apartment a distinct sense of elegance.
