Floral Workshop by Piastrelle Casa and Our Unconventional Friday

Post author By irina
Post date March 9, 2016

Besides so many challenges and busy days, we also happen to have absolutely wonderful moments that we keep in our hearts and without which we wouldn’t love our jobs so much. One of those days was last Friday, when our partners, Piastrele Casa invited us to a floral workshop that we can all declare to be one of the most beautiful we’ve ever participated to so far.

A floral arrangement involves a series of techniques, from aesthetic rules, texture or proportion to those of holding or supporting them in the ground. Each arrangement is built on a story and a lot of patience, on details that were once unfamiliar to us, and on the skill of combining different elements to create a unique result.

Now we come to the part that we thoroughly enjoyed and that we consider the most important: relaxation! When you are surrounded by flowers, you immediately detach, at least for a few hours, from everyday life and stress. You learn to detach yourself because flowers have the magic of bringing us to another world, which everyone should learn to find in these little moments of rest.

You will be able to purchase garden arrangements of many different types, from color, size or types of flowers used. Yet, the garden of our home tells its own story through an arrangement crafted by us, featuring various flowers with bulbs and handmade accessories.

We chose tulips, daffodils, freesias complemented by a carpet of moss. On a regular day, such an activity might seem, at first glance, boring. The result is, however, full of meaning! The poetry of any floral arrangement is associated with our personality, since every choice we make in arranging flowers and accessories is strictly related to the behavior of each of us.

Now, we can envision each arrangement created by the workshop participants, hosted by Piastrelle, placed in gardens or balconies, basking in the sun, warm air, and the long-awaited spring!

Ideas for Attic Interior Design

Post author By irina
Post date February 15, 2016

We could write so many words to describe how much we love attics and how many solutions there are for the most fascinating place in a house. However, we will summarize by telling you why we love them and how we can arrange them in the easiest but most creative way.

We have discovered that most people highly understand the importance of integrating the attic into the home’s design and offering it the attention it deserves. Without a doubt, it becomes the most attractive room when designed with care, breaking free from anonymity. For many years, people saw it as nothing more than a storage space, lacking personality.

The attic has a special charm because it offers a feeling of warmth and intimacy and its design comes with many challenges. The most important details that anyone who wants to design this room should know the fact that the space between the ceiling and the floor is extremely versatile and the light of this room uniquely floods it, so it is recommended to opt for a tailor-made arrangement. There are no obstacles that can stop you from transforming it into the room of your dreams, whether you are thinking of a bedroom, an office or a space suitable for an exhibition.

You have the chance to choose to position an extremely chic bathroom that will work perfectly within the attic, with an elegant and symmetrical aesthetic either with the window or with the lowest point of the roof.

If you choose to position a bed, you must not forget that when the room is small, it does not mean that the bed must follow the same rule. In this case, the lack of furniture but the presence of a large bed will give the feeling of the most comfortable room in the house.

The attic can also be a perfect place for storage, but designed in a way that reflects an extremely visually pleasing solution, with furniture designed to make the most of every available corner.

The most current way to renovate an attic is with industrial accents, with solid wood flooring or epoxy resin, with brick-clad walls and iron details.

We love decorating the attic so much because it gives us such a pleasant feeling of play, the feeling that this room will take on such a special shape, with the signature of the personality of those who live in it. The fact that there are days when we spend time here takes us, even if just for a few moments, back to our childhood. And what better time than to once again feel the magic of the most wonderful period of life?

HARO, from Tradition to Innovation

Post author By irina
Post date February 7, 2016

We love brands with tradition because they always embody the most important detail in the design industry: passion. Passion for quality and for each final product, of exceptional quality, most of the time. Today we will tell you about our newest partner in parquet, HARO, a brand with a history of almost 150 years in working with wood products, today among the biggest players in the parquet industry in Germany.

Created as a family business, with decades of experience in producing parquet and flooring solutions, the German brand demonstrates, without a doubt, its advanced level through the sports surfaces at international competitions and even the Olympic Games, made from parquet bearing the HARO signature.

Located in the Bavarian Alps region, the company proudly preserves and masters the tradition of working with solid wood, thus developing respect for nature, proven by obtaining the PEFC certificate, the document of the largest forest system certification organization.

But most of all, we are impressed by the desire for innovation, a desire that HARO transforms into reality. They develop a keen sense for the customer’s needs, which is why today they have floors with UV protection or particularly natural retro textures in their portfolio, as well as ecological care products.

HARO is distributed by Nordic Lifestylein some places, as a direct importer and the available products are: triple-layered parquet, double-layered parquet, laminate parquet, Manufaktur parquet (handmade), cork flooring, Celenio (parquet that resembles tiles) and DISANO (an alternative to PVC-free linoleum). There are solutions for both floors and walls, through the Celenio range and not only, but also an easy implementation process that ensures lasting quality.

It’s no secret that we love tradition as much as we love innovation in design. We always like rooms that convey a message and HARO has taught us that parquet can, in many situations, be the key to perfection. Whether we are talking about a futuristic, eclectic design or a design that sends us straight to Bavaria, with solid wood furniture and fabrics with themes from the Alps in the area, parquet is and will always remain a basic element for creating an exceptional decor.

And what better way to create a sophisticated and comfortable living space?

2016 in Interior Design

Post author By irina
Post date January 14, 2016

We recognize that for us, a new year means another reason to think about trends, perfect for our residential or commercial projects.

According to DailyMail 2016 is about exotic jungle-themed prints, psychedelic colors, and monochrome design.

2016 is about the art of bringing life to the spaces we live in every day through bold trends and an exotic mix.

The materials used for furniture and accessories will feature the most unusual prints, with exotic motifs such as jungle style and animal print, trends that will be translated from the fashion catwalks into interior design. British fashion designer Henry Holland says that “this is the year in which we are facing an interesting trend for both the fashion and interior design industries, which will result in unexpected products between brands that push the boundaries and explore a different perspective for this industry.”

Also, spring 2016 brings a warm atmosphere, with a vibrant look by adding bohemian color patterns. Nadia McCowan Hill believes that pillows with bold floral prints, rugs or painted furniture will be among the designers’ choices.

In recent years, the kitchen has undergone a major change, with industrial and increasingly simplistic accents, and 2016 highlights this trend, through natural materials and colors that can be found in nature or in the urban environment. The discreet color palette will be key this year and will keep the same shades of gray that we have seen in the last three years, the combinations of light and dark, wood inserts and metals.

We can guarantee that 2016 will bring numerous concepts designed to refresh the trends of past years and complete a much-needed change in many of our homes.

How to Decorate Your Home for Christmas

The Magic of Christmas Decoration

Every year, as Christmas approaches, we know for sure, more than ever, that we love what we do. Not only do we help people shape their beautiful place, according to their personality, but we also enjoy every moment immensely. When we have to find ideas for Christmas decoration, well, we bring back childhood moments for at least a moment. And what could be more beautiful than finding such an easy way to enjoy the most beautiful period of life a little longer?

Since we like to share, today we tell you a story. The story of the most beautiful houses, those that await Christmas in their own personal style! Our designers have shared with us a series of ideas for decorating the Christmas house, both inside and outside. Branded, miniature elements help create a story space where the styles are decided by us. The door, the place where visitors meet for the first time, would not be complete without a fir wreath or, more recently, from twigs, fir cones, wooden letters or cranberries., dried oranges and cinnamon. At the entrance to the house, we can reuse a jar in which to place a candle decorated with fir branches.

Table arrangements are as popular today as the Christmas tree, as they offer a festive spirit, suitable for festive meals. Candles, garlands, wreaths, natural or metallic elements, mini fir trees or winter flowers can find their place in the table’s center.

Christmas is about joy and beauty, and home decor should convey a “Welcome” for holiday parties and festive meals. All the tips recommended by our interior designers are ideal for arranging a place in accordance to our deepest desires. Let your creativity take the lead in the most beautiful month of the year!

The focus today is on social responsibility!

Piastrelle Casa has been, since the creation of our workshop, an important partner, with the best quality products, most of them designed and created in Italy. Recently, they organized an event in the showroom ”Piastrelle Casa”, where we learned about the harmonious symbiosis between the use of the highest quality materials and proper environmental protection. They also showcased the newest product imported to the market, the result of a successful partnership – Piastrelle and Barlinek, the largest laminate flooring manufacturer in Poland.

Created under the name of its own designer, Jean Marc Artisan, this collection boasts impeccable quality—a product ‘with personality’ that brings an exceptional and novel touch to the parquet market.

Barlinek announces the newest “green” project, a social responsibility project that has confirmed, once again, that in the field of interior design there is a strong involvement in ecological activities. “Barlinek Forest” is a project dedicated to replanting trees through a strong commitment to saving the environment. The good news is that, to date, over 45 thousand saplings have already been planted in the certain regions and worldwide, the Barlinek Clients’ Forest now numbers over 12 billion trees.

The interior design industry is experiencing more and more initiatives to protect the environment, and products with a strong ecological impact are slowly finding their place in “responsibly” designed spaces.

Interior Design – New York Style

Post author By irina
Post date November 18, 2015

We recently returned from the USA and we can’t help but share with you some thoughts about New York. When it comes to interior design, here you will find apartments and houses built in an original and representative style. This journey’s experience has only strengthened our convictions.

The style of New York is, indeed, perfect, with details that have shaped its unique, dynamic and always trendy image! Manhattan is the place where the concept of loft apartments was born with their large windows, where the emphasis is on light and a simple decor, with oversized pieces and discreet tones. It is almost impossible to confuse the style of this area with any other in the world. Here everything is built to the extreme and you will notice this fact in the size of the rooms. You can have the smallest or the largest kitchen in New York while the living room can also be the opposite.

Strange geometries bring a new shine to small spaces, the juxtaposition of white tones with grays, black, or earth tones, the combination of a classic line with modern elements, all are found in the interior design of Manhattan apartments.

Our inspiration comes from the antique shops, so common here, from the craft fairs but also from the showrooms of the largest furniture and accessories companies in the world. However, New York is such a rich land, with so many places full of inspiration, that for a designer it is so wonderful to be able to develop interior design projects. From here we were inspired for projects that Bucharest only now has the courage to sketch, projects that combine the style of the ’80s with today’s eclectic style or projects with industrial details, whether we are talking about pieces of furniture or finishes. New York teaches you the simple, clean style, with elements that you could never have imagined together.

Unusual geometries bring a new shine to small spaces, the juxtaposition of white tones with grays, black, or earth tones, the combination of a classic line with modern elements, all are found in Manhattan apartments.

Fall on the Wall

Post author By irina
Post date October 10, 2015

We are working on the newest iDecorate project and we chose, together with our client, a decoration in the color tones of this year, Marsala. We thought we’d recommend some small changes in the autumn shades to add a little warmth to rooms that are more prepared for summer. This season’s color palette is all about orange and shades of brown, thus we recommend to use them with white furniture or accessories to create a clear, bright image for the beautiful sunny days of this period.

You could opt for a deep color on a single wall, achieving a striking effect without overwhelming the rest of the room, as might happen if all the walls were painted in the same intense shade.

Bright orange and shades of gray are a popular duo for modern interiors. The result is a kitchen with personality, with a new and cool trend, especially since these rooms lose their creative output.

Here’s a little suggestion from us, some color options inspired by the shades of autumn, for walls, fabrics or even pieces of furniture.

Autumn-Winter Interior Design Trends

Post author By irina
Post date August 26, 2015

When a season changes, many other things in our lives change as well. From clothes, shoes, sometimes our mood, to the way we decorate our apartment, especially since home accessories have become increasingly easier to purchase.

Choose a creative autumn!

Autumn is that time of the year when we need an extra blanket, when the outside landscape changes colors, as so does the interior of the apartments. 2015 brings changes compared to previous years, when bright colors are less prominent for the cold months. Of course, shades of gray still remain in trend, along with black, white, beige, brown but also metallic tones, such as bronze or copper.

Wood is a suitable choice for this fall, in combinations that bring a rustic vision and a sense of simplicity.

Texture and Pattern Madness

We’ve never hidden how much we love kitchens and their accessories. This fall is all about the details. Ceramic mugs, plates, and bowls alongside wooden accessories allow new trends to find their place in our homes for a longer period of time.

Bold, geometric patterns have appeared since the beginning of the year, for certain accessories of the spring-summer season, but autumn brings a sense of comfort and relaxation through rugs, linens or tablecloths.

Kitchen addict

Post author By irina
Post date August 12, 2015

A beautiful morning begins, for many of us, with a coffee, relaxing in the kitchen. Some kitchens are bright, others, however, keep classic lines, but when it comes to “home”, happiness is offered in countless ways.

We love to outline kitchens, precisely because of the idea of creating a place where our clients start their day happy. That is why, for its design, we always take into account the profile of our client.

Today we tell you about happiness beautifully wrapped in accessories and furniture, in a completely and completely special room, about how a simple space becomes a fabulous kitchen!

New York Style

The style of a New York kitchen is one that can be easily adapted in any place, thanks to the small space dedicated to this room. White, vintage furniture with smartly incorporated appliances offers more space and helps to handle each object more easily. The mirror attached to one of the walls creates the illusion of a larger space and the stainless steel accessories hanging from the ceiling are the most inspired choice for such a narrow place.

Industrial

Industrial finds its place not only in Horeca projects, but also in those dedicated to a seemingly trivial kitchen in an apartment. The solid wood floor, the raw steel details, the walls covered in simple ceramic tiles with a vintage accent, the solid wood furniture, as well as the floor and many stainless steel accessories, all represent the solution for an extremely current, unique and very cool kitchen.

English Country

This type of kitchen is fascinating due to the special ceramic tiles, most of them designed and made in Italy, with white and gray wooden furniture and white leather chairs with stainless steel legs. Designed for any country, with contemporary materials, it evokes the spirit of 19th century England.

Moroccan Influences

Moroccan influences are very modern in interior design around the world. From materials brought from Morocco and used for linens, curtains, pillowcases to wallpaper or ceramics with very chic motifs and extremely easy to match a simple concept, all of them represent a global trend adapted by many designers today. This kitchen is beautiful and practical, with furniture designed on a practical line, with open shelves that start from the cabinets, blue glass chandeliers and a refined mosaic to which are added accessories and tableware from Morocco.

Bold Black

This type of kitchen represents a different approach, less boring and unique in terms of colors that blend perfectly with each other. This kitchen can be added with accessories from a very wide range of shapes and colors.

Our most recent projects are designed according to our clients’ expectations, with a modern style adapted homes that are beginning to shape their own very well-defined image, similar to the character of those who live in them.
