The transition from one season to another often inspires us to make changes in our home decor, especially since nature is one of the greatest sources of inspiration when it comes to interior design. Today we’re talking about the autumn color palette and how it can be harmoniously integrated into the design of a home.

Autumn is defined by warm yet dramatic colors that can provide a stunning appearance to a room, adding extra comfort and coziness. The autumn color palette is composed of pale yellow, pumpkin orange, green, chocolate brown, plum brown and dark purple.

Choose to combine shades of purple and burgundy with deep browns and black. For contrast, you can add shades of yellow, green, or even pink. If you don’t want to paint and prefer white walls, choose a piece of furniture in autumn colors, for example the sofa, and play with decorations, textiles and prints – rugs, decorative pillows, curtains and drapes.

Orange and rust can create a pleasant and warm atmosphere. Choose these colors for curtains, rugs, drapes or decorative pillows. For a more relaxing atmosphere you can keep the walls in shades of green or white. Choose white decorative objects for extra brightness.

Do you like yellow and rust-colored leaves? Opt for this color palette for curtains or armchair covers. This color combination goes perfectly with white or yellow furniture. For an energizing atmosphere, choose a rug or other textiles in shades of purple.

Shades of brown and beige – a safe and effective color palette. Additionally, choose some decorations (photo frames, decorative pillows) in shades of orange, rust, dark brown for contrast and light curtains for brightness.

 

If the finishes are natural or if wood is the main material, you can choose a curtain in autumnal shades or even a sofa in pumpkin orange. Moreover, in a room where gray or black predominates, choose to combine these shades with cool blue or beige-brown and metallic lighting fixtures.

Therefore, you can create an autumn look inside your home without major changes, keeping the paint and furniture in the already used colors. Instead, you can play with textures and decorations and change the curtains, rugs, sofa upholstery and accessories – frames, window sills, paintings, candles – to autumn colors.

Most of our apartment or house design projects have included the design of at least one children’s room. All requirements were different, the sizes of the rooms were different as well, so we can say that designing a child’s room is a real challenge, especially since, most of the time, the little ones are not easy to please. Today we present you five children’s rooms from our projects that we hope you will be inspired by.

 

Room with a Library for a Teenage Girl

Decorated in pink and white shades, the bedroom perfectly reflects the girl’s personality. We chose pink paint for the walls, which excellently complements the simple, white furniture. Since the space available for the dressing room behind the door was not wide enough, we opted for a shallower but longer dressing room to cover her needs. The asymmetrically designed bookcase complements the chosen desk.

Room with a Chalkboard Wall

For this room, we opted for practical, easy-to-maintain furniture that would fulfill all its functions. We positioned the desk by the window and chose to decorate a wall with a chalkboard in order to create a place of interest and attraction.

Room with a Reading Nook by the Window, for Two Girls

This room had to be special because the beneficiaries were making the transition from an apartment to a house. Thus, for the girls to settle into their new room, it had to reflect their personality. We chose to decorate it in tones of pale pink and white without cluttering the space, creating a cozier atmosphere through multiple materials and textures. We created a reading area by the window and then we placed a desk next to it.

A Cohesive Room Design for a Little Girl

This bedroom was designed as a cohesive space – combining a dressing room and office, along with a bedroom and reading area. The simple, custom-made furniture offers enough storage space, combining both aesthetics and functionality. The reading area, arranged right in front of the window, is furnished with the bare necessities. The shades of the curtains and the upholstery of the bench are matched to the rest of the room. The wall in the bed and office area was personalized with the color of the wallpaper that we applied. The shade of purple was chosen in accordance with the rest of the arrangement.

Bunk Bed Room for Two Children

This arrangement’s uniqueness is reflected by the position of the bunk beds against the wall, which gives the impression of a tree house. The leafy wall and the swing placed right in front of this wall add a special touch to the entire room, and the white-natural wood color scheme enhance the effect of a relaxing oasis.

Each of us wants to end our busy days with the ultimate relaxation session – for some, relaxation means watching a movie, whereas for others a good dinner is just what they need. And there are still some people for whom relaxation means a hot shower. But what if you take it to the next level and amplify the atmosphere of relaxation? We have prepared some tips and ideas for you to transform your bathroom into a true oasis of relaxation, being able to benefit from a spa session right at your home!

Organization and Cleanliness

In a disorganized bathroom, you can’t relax properly. So prepare your relaxation oasis by sanitizing all your bathroom fixtures and storing all your cleaning and care products in the cabinets. If your storage space is not very generous, choose a few decorative baskets to store your cosmetics. Avoid keeping all the products you use on the edge of the bathtub because it is visually distracting and, in addition, the space will be very cluttered. For your home spa area, you need an airy and free space that that will help you enter a state of relaxation.

Floor and Walls in Neutral Shades

If you want to renovate your bathroom, keep in mind the tiles and floor coverings you choose. Neutral, natural shades or those that resemble wood or natural stone create a pleasant and warm atmosphere. Opt for tiles that imitate wood or stone, and if you don’t plan on completely renovating your bathroom, a few stones by the tub or a wooden mat are perfect choices!

Sanitary Fixtures

If you are in the process of designing your bathroom, choose sanitary ware with special features that will transform your bathroom into a real spa. Of course, the bathtub is the most important element, so choose one with a hydromassage function. If you prefer a shower or if simply your space does not allow you to opt for a bathtub, choose a shower with water jet systems such as a rain or waterfall.

Natural Elements

There are various plants that love humidity, so you can bring nature into your bathroom and enhance the relaxing atmosphere. You can also opt for shells and stones that you can place on the edge of the tub, a stool or a wooden ladder on which you can put some flowers or scented candles.

Rooms in houses and apartments are getting smaller, so the storage space for clothes is also becoming small and cramped. However, there is an increasingly common solution in interior design that saves you from having to cram clothes into a small and cramped closet: the walk-in dressing room.

Custom-Made Walk-In Closet for the Owners of a Villa in Dubai

In order to be able to arrange a walk-in dressing room, you need an available empty space, such as a closet, attic or an unused hallway, as well as creativity and inspiration. A walk-in dressing room can be created of materials such as wood, chipboard, MDF or even metal. Most walk-in dressing rooms are custom-made, but if you don’t have the patience to wait until it’s ready, you can opt for a mass-produced dressing room at specialty stores that you can assemble yourself. With a little luck, you will find exactly what you want but that also fits the dimensions of the available space.

If space allows, you can opt for a walk-in dressing room with a makeup table and ironing board, a desk or even a seating area. Opt for drawers, doors, shelves, bars, hanging shelves, special boxes for special storage. Thus, all clothing items will be as well organized as possible.

Lately, furnishing your home with the perfect furniture has become a real challenge, and this is because the field is constantly developing and we have a variety of offers and furniture models at our disposal. However, in most cases people fail to find the furniture they want, despite the variety. The reasons can be diverse – either the space to be furnished has atypical dimensions, or the owners are looking for a special model of furniture that reflects their personality, and the model available on the market would not fulfill this aspect.

Custom-made furniture is the solution to furnish your home exactly the way you want, especially since it allows you to play with sizes, styles and colors. In this article, you will find some reasons why you should choose custom-made furniture in your home furnishing.

Custom-Made Kitchen Design in an Apartment in Dubai: The Ideal Solution for a Small Space

Uniqueness – you can choose the color of your furniture, the dimensions, shapes, or the closing system of the cabinet doors or drawers. Moreover, you can get inspiration from magazines or specialty stores, but keep in mind it is important to add your personal touch on the details.

The design of this bathroom in a villa in Dubai is definitely a unique project. The custom-made furniture was specially created to achieve a minimalist design while also providing functional storage space.

Quality – we are sure that many times you have liked a certain piece of furniture but the material was of questionable quality. By opting for custom-made furniture, you can choose the materials yourself, depending on your budget, and thus you will be sure of the furniture’s quality and durability.

Design – here you only need a little inspiration and imagination and you can transform your furniture into a work of art. Let yourself be inspired, play with shades, materials and use contrasts so that your personality and desired style can be found in the design of your home.

Adaptability – perhaps the biggest advantage of custom furniture is that it can be tailored to your specific needs in terms of material, size, and design. Custom furniture can be built to fit perfectly into hard-to-reach areas of a room, so you can make the most of every corner of the available space.

When space doesn’t allow you to set up a separate office, here’s the solution we found in the design project for a 2-bedroom apartment in Dubai – the office is integrated into the remaining space of the walk-in closet

Very complex, sophisticated and creative, the eclectic style in interior design is a mix between unity and chaos, traditional and modern, a cohesion between styles, colors, textures and prints. Eclectic interior design encourages freedom and originality, which is why for some people it may seem like chaos, while for others it may be an ideal decor, where inspiration is everywhere..

Eclectic Style Features

Organized chaos is the best definition for the eclectic style. Achieving the perfect decor that visually doesn’t tire you can be quite complicated, but not impossible if you understand the concept and let your courage, creativity, and boldness take the lead in the process.

Freedom – when you choose to decorate a room in an eclectic style, you have the freedom to choose any piece of furniture or decoration that you find excellent for your arrangement, regardless of the era or style it belongs to. The more diverse, the better!

Diversity – the used materials and textures must be different. Therefore, it is recommended to have several types of prints and patterns. As the common element you can choose a color palette that creates visual balance.

Symmetry – you must keep in mind to choose decorative objects in a way that maintains symmetry, ensuring harmony in lines, proportions, and shapes. For example, if you choose a piece of furniture in curved lines, there must be at least one similar element. As an alternative, you can opt for two different chairs that you can place next to each other if they have a similar proportion. Therefore, in a room, you can have pieces with different shapes and lines, but each design element should be reflected in other objects within the same space.

 

Contrast – for an authentic eclectic design, choose contrasting furniture or decor. For example, opt for a minimalist sofa next to which you can place a classic coffee table decorated with vintage elements.

How do you achieve an eclectic style?

If you want to decorate your house or a room in your home in an eclectic style, keep in mind a few suggestions and tips and the result will surely be the one you dreamed of!

Chromatics – in order to highlight the pieces of furniture, decorations and the rest of the elements that make up the decor, our recommendation is to opt for a limited, neutral chromatic palette (beige, white, black, gray, brown) for the floor, walls and ceiling. This way, you will create a visual balance and harmony in the room’s decor. When it comes to the rest of the elements, the possibilities are countless – strong and bold colors with pastel shades or the addition of complementary colors. However, you must be careful that the result keeps a coherent appearance.

Furniture – furniture pieces don’t have to be part of a set, but you can associate furniture items from different eras (a combination of classic, modern and vintage) to create an authentic eclectic effect. Here you can take into account shapes and proportions in order to keep a balance between the chosen furniture pieces.

Textures – it is recommended to combine different textures for a strong visual impact. Thus, you can combine silk, cotton, velvet, linen, leather, wool, ceramics, wood, glass in the same room. Also, combining a matte surface with a shiny one, or a piece of furniture with a fine finish associated with a piece of furniture with a rougher finish gives a unique look to the room.

Decorations – you have the greatest freedom of choice. You can opt for contemporary, classic, handmade decor pieces, mirrors, photographs, books, scented candles, travel souvenirs, etc.

It may sound complicated, but the eclectic style is quite permissive and lacks very strict rules. Take into account proportions, associations and textures and such a design will surely bring you a lot of satisfaction!

Trends in design and interior arrangement come and go, and most of the time, out of a desire to be in trend, we purchase furniture for our home without necessarily taking into account durability or functionality. Over time, some pieces become our favorites, but others are not very successful and we easily give up on them. Beyond preferences and trends, furniture that does not go out of style reflects high-quality, which transcends the barrier of time both in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Durability, originality, elegance, and the way time has left its mark on certain furniture pieces all contribute to defining their character. We’ve prepared a list of five statement pieces of furniture that will definitely never go out of style.

 

Eames Chair

With a contemporary design, the Eames chair is a very versatile solution for a variety of interior design types. The simple, unique yet avant-garde structure makes this chair an elegant, comfortable and durable element, which can be easily integrated into a rustic, contemporary or Scandinavian interior design.

Chesterfield Sofa

It is one of the most durable and famous sofa models. Comfort, elegance, leather or velvet upholstery, buttonholes, are the basic characteristics of the Chesterfield sofa, a sofa that will influence any decor with its refinement. So, if you are a fan of a comfortable living room, invest in a relaxing sofa that will easily become the star of the room.

Lounge Armchair

A statement piece of furniture is one that makes a good impression with its unique appearance, adding another dimension to a room. A lounge chair can stand out in the decor and break the its simplicity, becoming the centerpiece of the room. With its origins in antiquity, the lounge chair has transcended the barriers of time, since we still use it in contemporary design due to the fact that it is a comfortable piece of furniture and has a different structure depending on the model.

The Mirrors

Statement mirrors have become increasingly popular, adding elegance and charm to your home. Mirrors beautifully reflect light, visually enlarging the space and at the same time, they can also reflect your personal style. You can choose mirrors with simple frames, with metallic finishes, or with statement frames with a special design.

Tulip Coffee Table

If you want to enhance your living room, the easiest way is to change or add a coffee table. To create a key point in the room, choose a special model, such as the Tulip coffee table. The table with a single leg and curved lines is extremely practical and provides an aesthetic air to the room. Additionally, it also matches any combination of chairs.

 

We recommend that you invest in pieces that will keep their beauty and quality over time, pieces that will not go out of style and that will give your home a special charm.
