Design Ideas for Small Bathrooms

Most of the time, the space for a bathroom is very small, which makes a simple room design, a very difficult mission. How do you optimize the space in your bathroom so that it becomes a pleasant, airy and functional room? If you deal with a small bathroom and want to start the design or renovation process, we have prepared some ideas and tricks for inspiration.

Opt for light colors

Choose light colors to visually enlarge the room, preferably a combination of two neutral and bright shades (pastel yellow, green, light blue, gray). Even if it seems monotonous to have a maximum of two colors, you can enhance the space by bringing vibrant color to the bathroom through decorations – bath mat, colorful towels.

You can also opt for the same color on the walls, floor and ceiling, and for this situation white is the best choice. If you choose wall and floor tiles in the same shade, you’ll create a sense of continuity, making the space appear larger.

Play with textures

Remember: it is better to play with textures than with shades. For example, choose plain white tiles for the shower or bath area, and for the adjacent wall, opt for brick-effect tiles.

Another option is to choose mosaic instead of classic tiles. In addition to the fact that visually, the space will seem much more generous, mosaic can be installed in more difficult areas. Of course, there are other options – microcement – ​​for a seamless bathroom, resistant over time and easy to maintain; fiberglass wallpaper.

Sanitary ware and furniture

Choose sanitary ware that suits the space – instead of a large bathtub that will take up half of your bathroom space, opt for a glass shower cabin – it will add elegance to the bathroom and visually enlarge it. Choose a corner washbasin specially designed for small bathrooms or a washbasin with a built-in cabinet.

Furniture should be chosen in the last phase of the arrangement because sanitary ware can reduce its size. Opt for suspended furniture to free up as much of the floor space as possible, a mirror cabinet and a few shelves above the toilet.

Make the most of all the available space – for example, the shower wall and the bathroom door remain unused so you can take advantage of that. All you need is an organizer with pockets or baskets that you can mount on the door or a support bar on the wall next to the shower where you can hang various baskets.

Light

A very important aspect is the bathroom’s lighting, especially if there is no window. In addition to the central lighting system, it is good to use enough spotlights near the mirror.

Choose the tips that suit your needs, adapt them to your preferences and enjoy a functional and optimized bathroom.

Urban Apartment with Bold and Accent Colors

Every house has its own unique aspects. Whether it’s the size of the rooms, the needs of the owners or the number of spaces, challenges for an architect always appear when it comes to designing a space. The design of this apartment started from a surface of 150sqm – the owners wanted a design with an open, bright space, an urban and modern environment, in intense colors, but with pieces meant to inspire industrial accents.

The Living Room

For the living room design, we started with parquet flooring and a dining table plus a coffee table featuring wooden tops. We opted for a TV composition with simple, geometric shapes, projected onto a wall finished with wallpaper featuring geometric patterns. The colors chosen for the living room were gray, blue and black. The blue accents in the wallpaper are in tune with the sofa’s blue shade, providing the room with a vibrant look.

The living room flows into the dining area, which features a wooden table and chairs in the same accent color—blue.

The Bedroom

If the living room was decorated with Scandinavian accents, for the bedroom the owners wanted a modern and elegant decor. For this room as well we opted for dark colors – black leather for the bed, brown textiles for the upholstered wall and, as a vibrant color, mustard yellow for the curtains, which are made of a material that integrates perfectly into this arrangement – ​​velvet. The central element of the bedroom arrangement is the chandelier.

The dressing room

The second bedroom was transformed into a dressing room which was enhanced with open and compartmentalized furniture. We also opted for dark colors – pale black in combination with natural wood flooring.

The kitchen

The kitchen space was decorated in the same tone as the living room and dining area. The furniture that we chose reflects a simple, minimalist design, matte black MDF fronts, without handles, highlighted by the use of metallic wallpaper in the upper area of ​​the worktop (purchased from Silver Decor). Black appliances, in tone with the furniture, can be built-in.

The hallway

For the hallway, we chose cement tiles to protect the access area and to create a contrast with the parquet in the living room. For the accent, we chose wooden furniture – in the same tone as the living room. Due to the lack of light, we chose to keep the walls white, but to accessorize them with black and white decorative 3D panels. As for the color accents, the owner chose paintings that give a special touch to the entire interior.

 

The bathroom

The bathroom design mostly consisted of using unique wallpaper for the wall finish instead of classic tiles, while for the floor the same cement tiles used in the hallway and kitchen.

After approximately 2 months of rearrangement, the result was a well-organized apartment and a visually harmonious environment; a modern decor, with both Nordic accents (living room tables, hallway furniture, chairs) and elegant elements – decorative profiles, cornices, chandelier (bedroom) Purchased from our friends at Silver Decor.

Everything You Need to Know About Decorative Stickers

While many years ago, houses were decorated with numerous paintings and furniture was filled with knick-knacks of all sizes, today, arranging a space has become much more simplistic and minimalist. One of the most convenient ideas to give a home a special touch is the use of decorative stickers. The most significant benefit of using decorative stickers is that, if they no longer satisfy your desires, you can remove them without leaving marks on the wall.

Home Library – Tips and Decorating Ideas

The library is an essential element of a home’s decor, providing balance, warmth and personality to the space. Beyond the books, which are the focal point of a library, you can arrange various decorative objects on the shelves. The library should seamlessly integrate into the overall decor and furniture of the home.

We know, books in stacks arranged on the floor give the room a bohemian air and a special charm, but it is not a model of a functional and airy space. Therefore, we are willing to show you some tips and ideas for arranging a library at home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where to place your library

If space allows, you can integrate a library into a specific room, where in addition to bookshelves you can arrange the entire space as a relaxation or work place. Another option for a library is the living room – you can arrange it on the window wall, behind the sofa or on a single wall (if space allows).

If you have an apartment with a long, narrow hallway, you can set up the library along one of its walls. This way, you make use of the space reserved for the purpose of moving between rooms, while adding personality to the area.

If you have a corner in your home that you think is difficult to furnish but still don’t want to leave it empty, you can opt for a corner shelf that matches the design of the entire room. The shelf will easily fit books, but you can also decorate it with photo frames, candles or flower pots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Organizing Books

There are a variety of ways to organize the books in your library – alphabetically, by color, or if you want a minimalist decor, you can wrap your books in white or kraft paper to keep the color scheme in the room. But you also need to think about efficiency and not spending hours searching for the book you need. If you choose to organize your books alphabetically, it may look chaotic because there will be books of different sizes and colors. To simplify the process, organize your books by category and alphabetically. Books within the same category are often similar in size, making the arrangement easier. Thus, you can efficiently find the book you need.

Personalizing the bookcase

There are people who prefer a bookcase that is strictly meant for books, but there are also people, who would prefer to personalize their bookcase with decorative elements. So, for a modern look, you can add accent lights for the shelves – LED strips, recessed spotlights. If you want a minimalist library, opt for organic elements – add small pots with plants, stones and shells or fir cones to the shelves.

If you don’t have many books in your collection, you can play with their organization and at the same time personalize the bookcase – coherently decorate it; for example, arrange a few books vertically and next to them add a decoration, but on the next shelf arrange the books centrally, in a horizontal stack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can decorate the bookcase with small paintings, photo frames, colorful vases, candles, wooden decorations, vacation souvenirs. If space allows, you can place a comfortable chair or armchair in front of the bookcase in order to sit comfortably while reading or study.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The library is a source of inspiration and spiritual satisfaction, so pay attention when arranging it. Let your imagination take the lead when designing the library, but respect the main rules: order, balance and highlighting the value of the library through adequate lighting.

Tips and Tricks – Preparations and Decorations for a New Year’s Eve at Home

Are you spending New Year’s Eve at home with friends? Then it means you need to set up your home for the party. Depending on the number of guests, you need to make some arrangements in the house so that they are welcomed properly. Therefore, we have prepared some tips that will help you in setting up your house for the perfect party.

Setting up the room where the party will take place

Usually, the living room is the room organized for parties, so you need to know how to set up the space correctly. Take into account the number of guests, remove decorations that can break from the room and remove extra furniture – the coffee table, for example, especially since you will also need space to dance.

Everyone should have a place at the table

The festive table should be large enough to accommodate all the guests, including the hosts. Decorate the table in a festive spirit. We recommend a white tablecloth, white dishes with gold trim, simple glasses and gold cutlery. As decorations, you can opt for gold candlesticks with white candles.

Music for Every Taste

Yes, you will definitely be dancing. So, it’s important to plan ahead the music you’ll play for listening and dancing. Choose songs that will satisfy all people.

Children’s Play Area

You should find out in advance if your guests will be bringing their children. Set up a space in another room where they can play or sleep so they don’t get bored. You can buy some coloring books and paints to keep the little ones occupied.

3 essential things for your New Year’s Eve party

Champagne glasses – you can’t overlook this aspect on New Year’s Eve, and if you want to add a special touch to the party you’re organizing, we recommend choosing glass or crystal champagne glasses in which you can add pomegranates (pomegranate is the symbol of abundance for the Mediterranean);
Clock – it is very important, as it marks the entrance into the new year; the clock cannot be ordinary, it becomes the focal point that all eyes will turn to at midnight. Therefore, you need a special but also very precise clock – you don’t want to miss a single second of the new year.
Fruit bowl – one of the New Year’s traditions says to eat round fruits, these symbolize coins, therefore money. So, put a special bowl of fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, oranges on the table. A snack between the main dishes would be very appreciated by the guests.

 

Cheers to 2020!

Final Christmas Preparations – Table Setting

There are still a few days until Christmas, the holiday that brings us together and gathers the whole family around the lavish table. Setting the Christmas table becomes the main concern before the whole family gathers around it. But how do we set the table in a manner that gives it a festive air? We have prepared some ideas to inspire you.

Rustic style setting

The rustic approach to setting the Christmas table emphasizes simplicity and the connection with nature. Everything is natural, from the decorations to the napkins and tablecloth. So, instead of shiny ornaments, choose pots with fir trees, cones, fir branches or dried orange slices. Opt for a linen or cotton tablecloth and napkins, choose white, simple dishes, without decorative elements and simple glasses. To enhance the rustic picture, choose gold cutlery and gold candle holders with white candles decorated with fir branches.

Classic red and gold arrangement

This type of arrangement is chosen by most of us. The combination of red and gold is specific to the winter holidays. For the classic red-gold approach, start with a beige tablecloth and beige placemats. Enhance with red textile napkins that contrast the placemats and tablecloth. Choose white tableware with gold decoration and gold cutlery. You can opt for simple glasses or ones with gold decoration. As decorations, you can opt for simple gold candlesticks and white candles, while around them you can create arrangements of fir branches, cones and small red globes.

Modern Decoration

The modern approach to Christmas table setting is what we now call “modern lifestyle” – simplicity and speed. You need a white cotton tablecloth (you don’t have to worry if it’s not ironed), and to create a point of interest choose a piece of fabric in a neutral shade that you can decorate with fir branches or cones. You can decorate the table napkins with fir branches or small baubles that you can tie with a gold ribbon, and for the tableware you can choose white plates with square shapes and elegant lines. Opt for simple glasses and gold cutlery. Complete the decor with gold candlesticks and white candles with gold accents.

In conclusion, all you have to do is choose an approach that matches your home decor, then select the colors, textures, and finishes, balancing everything in an arrangement that will surprise your loved ones.

Tips & Tricks for a Successful Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of any home during the winter holidays, bringing joy and magic. We all decorate it, no matter the age. On Christmas morning, we find gifts beneath it, while the tree itself becomes the focal point of winter-themed photos. But you should know that for a successful tree, beautiful ornaments and lots of lights are not the only elements that matter, so we have prepared some tricks that can help you obtain an excellent result.

Shopping

The first step is choosing the perfect tree. It doesn’t have to be a tall tree, a smaller one with lots of branches looks great too. An option that many people can afford is to buy an artificial tree – it’s an ideal choice because you only invest once and enjoy the tree for many years. If you prefer a natural tree, we recommend choosing a potted one that you can replant in early spring.

The next step would be to choose decorations based on the theme or color palette. We recommend opting for Christmas-specific colors (red, gold, silver, white) especially if you want to avoid investing in other ornaments next year. For a natural and simple look, you can choose wooden ornaments – there are many options on the market and we can assure you that the final result will be a special one. Another color palette that is frequently used is reflected by the combination of brown and beige tones.

While we are still talking about decorations, we recommend that you purchase globes of different shapes and sizes and not just choose the large ones. For example, elongated globes are perfect for small trees. Don’t forget about light installations – they are also very important if you want a perfect tree. Our recommendation is to choose simple installations, with small white bulbs and green thread.

Step-by-step decorating

The first thing to consider is the placement of the tree – we know, you can’t put it in the middle of the room, but avoid hiding it behind a bookcase or sofa. Find a good place where it can be easily noticed, allowing it to shine in all its glory.

When decorating the tree, start with the lighting installation – arrange the lights from the top of the tree down to the base, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Leave enough room at the tips of the branches for the ornaments to stand out.

Garlands and metal beads are the ones you can put on the tree after the light installation is arranged. However, do not focus too much on these types of decorations and do not overload the tree with thick tinsel.

Now comes the top – whether it is a snowflake, angel or another type of ornament, opt for one that fits the theme and chosen color scheme.

The next decorations would be the baubles, bells and other specific elements – make piles for each type of ornament and arrange them evenly throughout the tree in order to create a beautiful aspect. Start from the top to the base. Place the more precious ornaments at the top. Don’t leave everything at the tip of the branches, go towards the tree’s trunk in order to create a deeper and a nicer decoration.

Keep these tips in mind, avoid overloading and opt for a simple color scheme, choose a tree that suits your home and you will surely have a Christmas tree like in a fairy tale.

Tips & Tricks for Decorating Your Home for Christmas

As soon as we pass the middle of November, we start thinking about the most wonderful time of the year – Christmas – and everything that this holiday brings: decorated Christmas tree, sparkling decorations, color and magic. Nothing prepares us better for Christmas than decorations, which bring the magic of the holidays into the house. We can’t imagine Christmas without baubles or installations, that’s for sure. So let’s start prepare the house for Christmas!

Start with a general cleaning!

The most important step in decorating your home for Christmas is cleaning. It’s no use having a beautifully decorated home if it’s messy. Wipe down the threshold, donate things you no longer use, clean the windows to allow more natural light to brighten your space, tidy up curtains and rugs, thus giving your entire home a fresh air.

A Christmassy Entrance

The first thing you see when you enter a house is its entrance. Therefore, you should bring the holiday spirit into your home right from the entrance and pay attention to this space. Decorate your front door with a Christmas wreath or other Christmas accessories, but don’t go overboard with the decorations – choose something simple and effective.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere

During the winter, we all prefer to spend more time indoors, in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Fluffy pillows, soft bedding and rugs bring a feeling of comfort and warmth to the home. Choose decorative pillows with Christmas motifs, fluffy rugs and knitted blankets in colors specific to the winter holidays – red, gold, green.

In order to bring even more holiday spirit into your home, candles are the perfect decorations to create that welcoming atmosphere. Choose scented varieties, such as vanilla, orange, or cinnamon, and integrate them into festive holders.

Light

The key elements in decorating your home for Christmas are lights. Choose installations with small bulbs and lights to create a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere. For the windows, you can create a curtain of lights using special string lights, or design a tree shape with bulbs and light strands for a festive touch. For an extra convivial atmosphere, add installations around the bed or on the door frames.

Bring Christmas closer by decorating your home in the holiday spirit with your loved ones. Grab a mug of hot chocolate, cookies, put on some Christmas carols, and you can start decorating your home for Christmas.
