Our Work – Designing a 250 sqm Home in Dubai

When you have a family, your focus naturally shifts to them, and you want to provide the very best in comfort and beauty. A large and welcoming house is definitely at the top of the list. Today, we would like to showcase the house of a couple, young parents with 2 children and a puppy. They wanted the 250sqm home, arranged on 2 levels and a basement, to be modern and up-to-date, with elegant accents. They wanted a balanced and unified space, with lots of light. Let’s see what came out!

The 250sqm house is organized on 2 levels and a basement. On the ground floor there is the living room and dining area, the kitchen, the guest room and a bathroom. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, while the basement is used as a technical space and hobby room. No changes were made in terms of compartmentalization, but in terms of functionality. Thus, depending on the room and its destination, we focused on increasing the degree of comfort both by using quality finishes and by making the spaces more efficient.

The owners wanted a modern design with elegant accents, with a neutral color scheme; for the children (the 2 girls) they wanted their bedrooms to reflect their ages and personalities.

Living room

The living room is one of the brightest spaces in the house, so we paid attention especially to it. The space opens to the terrace, courtyard and kitchen through double glass doors. To make the most of the living room’s natural brightness and its garden-facing orientation, we chose white sheer curtains without drapes.

We arranged the living room around two elements that the owners wanted integrated in the design: the wood-burning fireplace and the piano. We highlighted these special pieces through the chosen colors, but also through the elegant and classic notes given by the finishes. Beige and gray tones but also white are the shades chosen for the arrangement of this space. The elegance of the living room is mainly given by the gray velvet sofa and the two spacious armchairs placed in the brightest area of ​​the living room.

The living room flows into the dining area, where we selected a white wooden table paired with white chairs featuring beige upholstery.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom has the same specific lighting as well. Therefore, for this room’s design we chose to use white and beige tones, with a lilac chromatic accent on one of the room’s walls. The furniture that we selected is simple, which does not clutter the space and which, moreover, is in line with the owners’ desires. The leather-upholstered bed and the lighting fixtures with golden accents, bring an extra touch of elegance to the bedroom.

Children’s bedrooms (girls)

The owners’ most important wish reflects the arrangement of the bedrooms of their two daughters.

They wanted rooms that were in line with their personalities and that reflected their passions.

So, the eldest daughter is passionate about sports, so we created an area for placing a trellis right in the bedroom.

My little girl loves to draw, so we designed a wall with chalkboard paint for her to draw on. We even painted the door, turning the room into a huge chalkboard.

 

For both rooms we created book storage spaces, thus creating a library where they can store all their books. Both rooms were decorated in beige-white chromatics, with blue and teal accents, soothing colors suitable for bedrooms and recreation spaces.

The kitchen

The kitchen was decorated in harmony with the living room, starting from a clearly established element – ​​the island. Thus, the central island is used both as a cooking or dining space, as well as a work area. For maximum elegance and modernity of the space, the chromatic range consists of black and white. We took into account the entire size of the kitchen to create a functional and modern space.

Hallway and Staircase

In the hallway, we created storage spaces, a coat rack, and a bench adjacent to the existing dressing room on the ground floor. For the staircase area, we opted for a neutral color scheme, copper and white tones, in order to maintain the same style in which we decorated the entire house.

The bathrooms

The bathrooms are modernly designed, with elegant accents, creating a relaxation and spa area. The size of the spaces allowed us to add a bathtub, 2 sinks and storage spaces. We chose the color scheme of beige, white and brown, with blue accents for one of the bathrooms and gray accents for the other.

Our Work – Designing a Three-Bedroom Apartment

“A house is made of walls and beams. A home is built with love and dreams” – a quote as true as can be. In the following lines we will present to you the story of the arrangement of an 85sqm apartment in a minimalist, but at the same time modern, with glam accents style.

Each arrangement of an apartment is a challenge for us, because every apartment has its own story and its own purpose. This time we arranged an apartment with 3 rooms and an open space kitchen. The project lasted two and a half months. When we took over the project, the apartment was already built, but we still had our own touch to add. – prints, decorative paint and chromatic accents. In arranging the apartment, we focused especially on the vibe that the view inspired and the special brightness that the apartment benefits from, trying to improve every corner of the house. The clients wanted an apartment with a timeless, minimalist but at the same time modern design, which would reflect their personality and energy.

The apartment was already built, so we integrated our concept into the already existing finishes. We focused on a minimalist and modern design, with glamorous elements found within the lighting fixtures and bed upholstery.

The biggest challenge appeared when we started decorating the living room – a very welcoming space with glam accents, where we had to integrate a large sofa bed, a bar and a dining area for eight people. Since the space was quite small, we opted for an extendable coffee table (a table that converts into a dining table). The royal blue of the sofa is the color accent which can be easily noticed in the living room. It is a shade that we also chose for the master bedroom.

For the master bedroom, we applied industrial design principles. The bed with royal blue upholstery that we chose brings a touch of elegance to the room. We used a concrete-effect paint to match the ceiling. To maintain the spaciousness and brightness, we opted for compact furniture, an innovative solution, without unnecessarily burdening the space.

The second bedroom is a hybrid room: a dressing space for the owners and a cozy and welcoming bedroom for guests.

For the finishes, we opted for decorative paint to create the striped wall behind the sofa, but we selected similar chromatics – gray and white. To visually enlarge the space, we chose to tile the wardrobe doors with mirrors.

The owners wanted the kitchen to be a unique, atypical and attractive one, but at the same time minimalist.

We chose a black-and-white combination (used for the furniture and floor pattern) with yellow accents.

For the hallway, we chose a suspended storage unit so as not to clutter the space. Furthermore, we turned the balcony into a cozy and welcoming relaxation space, reflecting the vibe that the entire apartment offers.

Interior Design of a Studio Transformed into a Two-Bedroom Apartment

Design of a Studio Transformed into a Two-Bedroom Apartment.

The studio’s surface of 43 sq m, which is pretty generous.

The features of the space that made it possible to obtain a special interior design result were the following: positioning on the top floor – positioning that allowed for the modification of the installations; the spaciousness and brightness of the studio.

But, like any space, it also had disadvantages that raised problems – old block partitioning, wasted spaces not properly exploited. This project custom-paper-writing.com/blog/market-analysis-report was a real challenge both for us and for the company that handled the project implementation, CorpConstruct. With the help of professionals, the best decisions were made and thus this space’s potential could be maximized.

The theme of the interior design project received from the client – efficient recompartmentation, obtaining 2 rooms (living room + bedroom instead of a single room to increase its value and provide more privacy), modern interior design, special finishes, space optimization. The goal was to achieve a modern interior design with Scandinavian influences.

We created this interior design concept, starting from the blue epoxy resin floor, which the client really desired.

To complement it, we created simple, white furniture with wooden accents, practical and easy-to-maintain furniture in an apartment intended for rental purposes.

The colors that were used in the apartment’s design were based on cool colors – white, blue, anthracite gray, warmed by orange accents and wooden inserts, applied to the white MDF.

Living room interior design – modern style, a cheerful and colorful interior, which evokes a friendly atmosphere. A yellow sofa was chosen, contrasting with the blue/gray epoxy resin floor.

The exposed brick wall brings an industrial touch and a special vibe to the interior design.

Graphic elements were used for accessorizing – the black and white zig-zag rug, for example.

The log used as a side table complements the series of special furniture elements used in the design of this apartment.

The furniture was uniquely designed as well, according to our specifications.

                               

Interior design kitchen – The kitchen was moved to the hallway. Built-in appliances were chosen to make the most of the space. The built-in refrigerator has a cabinet next to it that includes a hanger and a shoe rack.

 

Interior design bathroom – we wanted to continue with the overall approach.

A 3D white tile was used, complemented by a simple gray tile. To enhance the environment, a wood-look tile and colorful furniture with sunny yellow accents were chosen.

The resulting image is in tune with the rest of the cheerful and friendly decor.

Interior design bedroom – the bedroom was arranged in the former kitchen’s place.

The colors used in this space’s design are the same as in the rest of the apartment: anthracite gray for the furniture, with orange accents.

For the walls, we opted for colored washable paint. The yellow graphic line brings dynamism to the interior.

The studio apartment benefited from a complete interior design. Everything was replaced, starting from the heating, sanitary, electrical installations, to the finishes and furniture, in order to correspond to the new interior design concept of the space. As we mentioned before, although it is a small space, there were many challanges.

The construction company (CorpConstruct) contracted by the owner took care of all the work necessary to transform this space, thus greatly simplifying the coordination and communication between architect-client-constructor.

A self-leveling floor was chosen, which did not require transition profiles or interruptions between rooms. This helped us achieve the visual continuity so necessary in the arrangement of small spaces.

Also, in order not to “suffocate” the space, compact furniture was chosen, without visible handles, which gives the impression of a wall but which has a generous dressing room is “hidden” – living room interior design

Interior Design for a Dental Office – 5 Principles to Follow

 

If you want to achieve a successful interior design, modernize or expand the space for your dental office, we recommend detailed space planning.

As you begin your dental office interior design, consider these five essential principles for achieving a realistic and functional interior design.

 

1. Dental office interior design – Principle 1 – Respect the established objectives

Before actually starting your dental office interior design project, whether it’s a design from scratch or just a small space improvement, it’s important to understand what your main objectives are for this project.

With the new clinic interior design project, do you want to solve a problem of functionality or do you want to expand capacity? Do you have a clearly established vision for the office that you want to integrate into the clinic interior design through the new interior design project? For example, do you want to create more space for the simultaneous treatment of several patients? Do you want to implement a higher level of technology, a more diverse functionality of the space dedicated to the dental office or do you simply want to create an open and friendly environment through the new concept of the dental clinic interior design?

An effective interior design will reflect your vision for the entire practice and support the purposes outlined in your business plan.

The success of an interior design for such a space lies in the meticulous planning of the dental clinic space and the full understanding of the project. The better you understand the objectives, the more coherent the dental clinic interior design project will be.

2. Dental office interior design – Principle 2 – Achieving functional balance

Achieving the right balance in your interior design project means incorporating design principles, integrating technology and ergonomic design, all within the limits of your budget.

Integrating these elements into the clinic’s interior design project leads to a balanced, functional interior design project that will express the personal vision established in the previous plan and will effectively meet the needs of your patients.

To achieve balance in the dental clinic interior design project, we recommend consulting design specialists to ensure the proper approach and implementation of the five principles.

We recommend that you do not skimp on this aspect, as the functional balance of the space can determine the efficiency of the office, patient comfort, and last but not least, employee satisfaction – all key factors that contribute to the overall level of productivity.

3. Dental office interior design – Principle 3 – Use an efficient optimized 2D plan as a base

The 2D space plan is a key component in increasing efficiency and building an efficient dental office interior design concept.

If through the new interior design project of the dental clinic – you want to obtain a wider space for movement, but still not too vast not to waste time, you need to achieve a balance between the flow of efficient circulation and comfortable movement between workspaces, both for staff and patients, from public to private spaces.

To obtain a well-optimized 2D plan, make sure that the new plan elaborated for the interior design project can support the development strategy of the business and its long-term efficiency. A well-optimized plan must allow the addition of equipment over time or the space’s adaption to the increase in the number of patients.

 

4. Dental office interior design – Principle 4 – State-of-the-art equipment

Keeping up to date with technology in the field of dental clinics is one effective way to remain competitive in this market.

Using up-to-date technology not only improves the overall competency level of the dental office, both in terms of design and functionality, but also effectively inspire a feeling of certainty and professionalism to the patients.

Technology is constantly advancing in the field of dentistry, so now is an excellent time to incorporate new technologies and digital platforms into the new interior design concept of a dental office. Not only electronic equipment includes state-of-the-art technologies. The basic equipment can also be very complex, ranging from integrated digital radiology to ergonomic patient chairs, chairs that increase not only the comfort of the patients but also of the doctor and the related team.

It was proven that a dental office which invests in efficient interior design of the space and in state-of-the-art technologies will thrive regardless of the state of the economy, while those businesses that resist the transition to new equipment and technologies will struggle to survive on the market.
We recommend integrating state-of-the-art technologies into the current interior design of your dental office.

5. Dental office interior design – Principle 5 – Professional and attractive interior design concept

Usually, one of the main key reasons for creating a new interior design concept, renovating or modernizing the dental office is the desire to create a much more modern and attractive image.

It is very important that the interior design of the dental office impresses patients, expressing professionalism and trust.

Patients who use the clinic’s services for the first time do not have a way to evaluate the quality of the services provided and will take into account other tangible and evaluable factors. In this context, the first impression of the client will be formed based on the interior design of the dental clinic. The physical environment that the patient interacts with can convey the level of excellence and trustworthiness of the dental office. A simple, clean and friendly interior design will instill the necessary confidence in the patient.

 

By following these five basic principles for dental office interior design, you’ll achieve a successful outcome and a recipe for success for your business.

Interior Design for a House

One of our favorite interior design projects is this one, elaborated for a house from the interwar period. The house has a usable area of ​​130 square meters, and is the home of a family with one child.

One of the client’s initial requirements for their house’s interior design was to create a special, friendly decor, which would make them feel “at home”. Maintaining the brightness and height of the rooms, as well as optimizing storage space were also a few of the main requirements (like most clients, they needed more storage spaces).

The client’s most significant desire for this interior design was to preserve the mosaic in the kitchen and hallways.

The desired and implemented interior design concept was a mix of modern design through materials and colors, with classic/elegant accents given by the decorative profiles used, borders and lighting fixtures.

Interior design style – modern with classic accents.

The features of the space were the house’s excellent location, the view of the park, the spacious and high rooms, the solid wood flooring, and the exceptional mosaic in the hallways and kitchen.

As with any interior design project, there were also disadvantages.

Among these were: the compartmentalization of the house – The small space allocated to the kitchen, a single bathroom for four different rooms, a very small area for the third bedroom.

In the interior design project of this house, we took into account the requirements of the beneficiaries, to obtain spaces that are as spacious, open and bright as possible.

Thus, we expanded the kitchen area by merging the old kitchen with a pantry. The third bedroom, which lacked sufficient space to serve as a guest room, was transformed into a dressing room, while the office space was opened up to the living room.

Also, in order to achieve a coherent interior design and a fluid interior layout, the balcony adjacent to the living room was incorporated into its layout.

Thus, the mosaic pattern from the balcony area was used to complement the one in the kitchen, and the solid parquet from the living area was used on the balcony as well.

The entire interior design started from a single element – ​​the mosaic present in the hallway and kitchen.

Due to the exceptional appearance of the mosaic, the owners desired to keep and include it in the new interior design concept of the house. Thus, the mosaic became the central element.

Child’s bedroom interior design

In the interior design of the bedroom, we chose to restore the existing solid wood parquet flooring, to preserve the elements specific to the house’s theme.

We used turquoise chalkboard paint on one of the walls to create a point of interest and attraction for Augustin, the family’s little boy.

In the room’s interior design, the beneficiaries’ requirements were taken into account, to obtain a practical, easy-to-maintain furniture that would serve all needs. Thus, we integrated into the room’s design essential elements like the desk, the library, the wardrobe, the bed, but also a relaxation and reading area – in a bench form in front of the window – due to the orientation towards the park.

 

Master bedroom interior design

For the master bedroom interior design, we used solid wood flooring, in tone with the one already used in some of the house’s places, striped wallpaper with gold inserts, and colored washable paint, to add a chromatic accent to the design.

In the interior design of the bedroom, we opted for an elegant decor, highlighted by the wallpaper with golden accents, the decorative profiles used to decorate the walls, as well as those used for the headboards. We focused on a play of light, achieved through headboards and LED strips. The colors used in the bedroom’s interior design are warm and soothing, with the curtains providing the main accent.

 

 

 

 

 

Room interior design – office

The office is open to the living area.

Modernly decorated with elegant accents (given by decorative profiles and sconces). We also relied on light accents – LEDs in the sconces.

The decorative panels and furniture were custom-made according to our concept and sketches.

The office fulfills several functions: home office area, guest room (thanks to the extendable sofa) and relaxation area – games on TV or watching movies with the family.

 

 

 

 

 

Living room interior design

The living room is open to the balcony and benefits from plenty of natural light. We have achieved a pleasant, bright interior design, modernly decorated with elegant accents.

We opted to create borders made of decorative profiles, which highlight different lighting fixtures or certain areas in the living room – for example, the TV area, the chest of drawers and the mirror area.

The lighting fixtures used in the living room design add an extra touch of elegance to the interior.

The balcony was included in the living room design and transformed into a relaxation area. It contains two bookcases spanning the entire height of the room.

 

Hallway interior design

Although not much importance is usually given to the design of hallways, we tried to highlight them by preserving and reconditioning the mosaic pattern.

We created elegant spaces by incorporating decorative borders and LED light strips, which accentuate and add sophistication to the interior design.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Home kitchen interior design

Although small and cramped at first, after re-compartmentalization, it became a generous kitchen, which perfectly accommodated all the necessary appliances and storage.

Thus, we chose to create a “soldiers’ wall” – to incorporate the fridge, oven, Jolly chimneys, and the heating system, while also maximizing the storage space in the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

The colors used in the interior design of the kitchen were: white with turquoise accents and natural wood.

For the furniture, we used painted MDF, a solid wood countertop, and painted heat-resistant glass.

The floor was redone and complemented with the mosaic from the balcony, successfully preserving the original flooring.

Due to its placement, the kitchen benefits from a lot of natural light.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Home bathroom interior design

Although the apartment has generous dimensions (130sqm), it has only one bathroom, which is not very large.

The owners’ requirements for the interior design of this bathroom were very clear – they wanted a generous walk-in shower, a stand-alone bathtub, a washbasin with a generous countertop and a storage cabinet. All in 6 square meters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The entire interior design of this bathroom started from the repartitioning and the repositioning of the sanitary ware.

We chose a rectified, glossy, marbled tile, in keeping with the elegant style of the house.

From the chosen tiles, we made a mosaic pattern for the walk-in shower area.

To create the illusion of a much more generous space, we chose a mirror along the entire length of the washbasin furniture.

The interior design of the house took four months of work. Since it is an old house, we encountered many unforeseen situations. The interior was completely changed, the electrical, sanitary and heating installations were completely redone. The parquet was removed, reconditioned and installed after restoring the support base.

A significant challenge of this interior design project was restoring and completing the mosaic that the owners were unwilling to part with.

 

In this interior design we tried to preserve as much of the interwar charm of the house as possible. We preserved and restored the mosaic and parquet, opting for classic shapes for the cornices and decorative profiles to highlight the interior design of this house, a testament to a long-gone period and era.

Bathroom Storage Solutions

TRICKS AND TIPS ON PLACES YOU CAN TRANSFORM INTO STORAGE SPACES

A common request we receive from our clients at the start of an interior design project for an apartment or house is to optimize the space and create effective storage solutions. This is the main requirement in all interior design projects for apartments and houses.
At the same time, everyone wants their space to look as airy as possible.
In most interior designs, bathrooms have small surfaces, in which, in addition to the usual sanitary objects, as many storage spaces as possible must be integrated. Thus, in the interior design project for most apartments, bathrooms and storage spaces, a specific approach is required.
To optimize the space in bathrooms, we resort to a series of interior design “Secrets” and “tricks”.
We have a rectangular bathroom (interior design house).

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to fully respect the beneficiary’s desires in terms of interior design theme, we incorporated in this bathroom, in addition to the free standing bathtub, a walk-in shower and a washbasin with a generous countertop. The space that remained for storage was almost insignificant due to its small size.
Thus, to obtain storage spaces, while maintaining the airy appearance of the bathroom, we resorted to the following trick:
HERE’S HOW: creating a rectangular niche in the drywall wall where the toilet cistern is recessed. The niche serves as a storage space for accessories and decorative items.

PLUS: The coherence of the wall’s design is maintained, it does not visually burden the space, it integrates perfectly into the interior design concept of the house.
EXTRA STORAGE: under the sink countertop, create storage units with drawers to optimize space and achieve a fluent and airy layout.
IDEA: Even though the space did not allow a countertop of the same width, in order not to give up storage, we chose to continue to the left and right of the sink with two units with a smaller depth, to use the space as efficiently as possible.

Interior design – Small bathrooms – studio bathroom –
One of the recently completed interior design projects – the transformation of a studio into two rooms – taught us that in small spaces you need to consider the use of every corner.
Thus, in line with the studio’s interior design, the bathroom also “sacrificed” some of its initially allocated space.
The interior design proposed for the studio transformed a classic bathroom into a practical one, optimized for a rental apartment.
Since it is a narrow bathroom, there was no space for storage units. The solution found following the interior design project consisted of transforming the space above the sink and the niche for the buried tank allocated to the mirror into storage spaces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IDEAS for interior design bathroom: – the mirror has a cabinet behind it for cosmetic storage
TRICK for interior design bathroom: the free space between the storage body and the tank mask can be covered with a mirror on the back, to create visual continuity.
COLORS for interior design bathroom: using bright colors, with the mirror creating a dynamic effect.

MUST HAVE – a must-have in bathroom interior design this season, when it comes to storage, is the use of wooden ladders. They have a decorative role but are also practical at the same time.
Whether it is a ladder to place over the washing machine, or a freestanding one, ladders/shelves could be an attractive element in any bathroom interior design.

Another trick which helps optimize the space, in a bathroom design where the desire was to maintain the “airy” interior arrangement aspect, was to transform the resulting space between a pillar and the wall into a storage area with shelves.

For furniture, we used a sink with storage underneath, and a mirror with a raised frame, which serves as a shelf for cosmetics.
HERE’S HOW – bathroom interior design – use closed storage, in the form of vertical “soldiers”, to avoid visually cluttering the space

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interior design tricks for very small bathrooms
Make the most of the space under the sink – drawers for storage
Choose a mirror with a shelf/edge for storage
Create a niche above the toilet to store decorations.

10 Years of BoConcept and a New Scandinavian Design Collection

Last week we celebrated 10 years of BoConcept, a brand that I discovered back when I was studying architecture. Without a doubt, we share a long friendship but also the same statement about ourselves and the homes we furnish: we only surround ourselves with things that we like and that truly define us!

In addition to the joy of celebrating with them, we also thoroughly enjoyed the news in Scandinavian design, one of the most well-known and loved trends in the world. So, on a rainy and hectic Wednesday, we rediscovered a fascinating world, with new pieces that bear the signature of quality and creativity specific to Nordic furniture pieces.

10 years of BoConcept10 years of BoConcept 10 years of BoConcept 10 years of BoConcept

In addition to the already known pieces, BoConcept has introduced a series of new products, all characterized by comfort and relaxation. This is exactly how the new Athena armchair is defined, an armchair designed with absolute convenience in mind since it rotates and tilts depending on how you want it. The diversity in which it can reach the consumer is another asset of this new product. It comes in a selection of 120 fabric and leather options, along with three different leg styles.

Also in the comfort area, the new Hampton sofa “is a tribute to urban luxury,” the Danish company says. With a low, simple but very stable base and innovative adjustable cushions, Hampton is extremely pleasant and can be easily incorporated into any room. The edges can be used as storage spaces and can be customized according to the available space, being a completely modular piece.

Autumn trends in interior design

The last months of 2016 bring interiors featuring elements that tell a story of authenticity and timelessness, all while remaining understated. We remain present in the realm of geometric shapes in fabrics, artisan glass and precious metals, pastel shades and patterns that resemble marble. Most of the color trends contain varieties of blue, including the much-loved turquoise, grays, indigo and gold.

Claire-Paquin_Billington_Family-Room-Sectional.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.966.6442015 was undoubtedly the “year of copper” in interiors, the year that entitled it “the metal of the moment”, but 2016 brought a touch of refinement through well-chosen pieces as accents that create a glamorous look. It is the sophisticated, rich in surfaces and colors interiors period. Rooms can be created from a palette of one or two colors and, rather than an unnecessary overuse of furniture elements, each piece will be a style statement. Models borrowed from the fashion world, with tropical prints, remain inspired choices this fall.

There has been a real movement towards using geometric patterns in flooring, in a range of materials, from painted wood tiles to ceramic or cement. Whether we’re talking about bold black and white or the full spectrum of colors, these extremely creative solutions are in the spotlight this year-end! But let’s not forget about nostalgic ideas from the design industry. We will see the return of traditional layouts, prints but also unusual floral prints, from bouquets to bold leaf patterns.

This season’s trend is to flirt with simplicity, natural materials, uncluttered spaces, artisanal objects and basic shapes. In a world of overconsumption and quantity over quality, this seems to represent a welcome change that will thrive in the coming years.

Let’s not forget that interior decorations will always borrow ideas from fashion industry trends. What could be more beautiful than a home that looks exactly like you.

For us, the most beautiful and creative project is decorating a child’s room. This is the project you fall in love with at first sight, where every detail matters, and every choice is made with care. And all this because the little ones deserve a place of their own, a place that reflects their personality even from an early age.

  • Create a universe just for them, where every corner meets their style and preferences;

  • If they have a passion, try to incorporate it into the room design in different ways, from personalized wallpaper, to details and accessories;
  • Personalizing the bed is another example that we love, especially if we talk about creating a headboard with affordable materials;

 

There are many examples for designing the perfect room for our children, but our most valuable advice is: be as creative as possible! It is probably the only room where you can, at least for a little while, be children again.

The custom-made lifestyle goes beyond interior design, extending to personalized accessories and jewelry.

Besides the joy of being around wonderful people we’ve known for years, along with their high-quality products, we discovered the newest personalized jewelry brand that, like the interior brand, teaches us that beautiful stories are written with a personal and emotional touch that we can hardly replace. Ostara Wave, through the Geometry of Love collection is a unique brand, represented by bracelets and pendants that carry encrypted messages and voices of loved ones. Just as fingers have a unique fingerprint, voices also have a pattern, which, visually translated, takes the form of waves. The final result is a unique accessory, with a strong emotional and personal charge for those who wear them.

If you want to know more about Ostara Wave, discover the story here. As for Piastrelle Casa, you must visit their showroom, where the classic style blends perfectly with the modern one, made in Italy, with industrial influences. This is where we also choose some of our ceramic tiles, parquet, accessories and furniture. To many more creative and beautiful years!
