Shake up Your House Setting Posted: 04 Jul 2013 12:34 PM PDT Are you bored of the same old look? Is it about time you shake up a few items? Spice does not have to be added by a complete, long, expensive decor procedure but you can simply alter the setting of your house from time to time by simple techniques that will definitely result in a huge different! What more can one want!? Whether it is the living room, bathroom, kitchen or bedroom, here are a few think you could always easily do: • Hang a Statement from Overhead The importance of lighting can never be toned down and it's even better and seductive when it comes from an attractive lamp or gives out an effect. For modern touch add lighting to your ceilings and pendant lights make this easily, cheaply and gorgeously possible. You can go for something simple or lavish; it completely depends on your style and the room. A simple small light will do for a small bathroom or kitchen while if large hang a couple in line or one oversized one! Opt for unique designs for important places such as the living room. •Switch the Drapes Are the old drapes dreary or are they allowing too much sunlight to pass through? For a change alter the curtains, switch from fabric curtains to blinds or vice versa, which ever will provide a productive change. Even simply changing the pattern and colour of the drapes can have a huge necessary effect. Its advisable to go for something that blocks light thus when privacy is required close the shades and when brightness is needed roll them up! •Add Some Hints of Pattern to Plainness Go graphic, polka, geometric, flowery or whatever you prefer for a dose of character. Any plain sofa can pop up with patterned pillow and bring out your living room. A simple neutral bedroom will yearn for a graphic bed sheet or canvas print for an empty wall. A patterned rug is an excellent example and will do just as a great job to add character plus style to any room. •Items Which Are Tall and Chic For a contemporary look purchase some contemporary items and there is no better accessory then elongated decoration pieces. The market is full of long vases that can either be placed on their own or be filled with tall, fresh flowers. A table is not required to hold these small vases; any empty corned can easily be filled up. Even if they can't be equipped with flowers a bunch of them, especially in different sizes will make a noticeable chic different. Length can even be added to photographs or canvas pictures or mirrors on the wall as well as L shaped sofas for the living room. Source : Sent by Serven wilson

5 Reasons Oak Furniture Is A Must Have For Any Bedroom Posted: 04 Jul 2013 12:34 AM PDT Each person's home has a unique environment. Depending on the style and design of the interior of a house, a person can be made to feel welcomed, comforted, and at home. If it's poorly designed, cluttered, or lacks tasteful design, a person may not feel a sense of coziness or comfort. So, when it comes to decorating your house, the lights and furniture really do matter. These can help create an ambiance – a homely atmosphere – that helps turn a house into a home. And when we're talking about your bedroom – your sanctuary of relaxation – using oak furniture in your design is a must. Why? 1.Durability; Oak furniture is one of the most durable, well-made types of furniture you can buy. Nowadays, many furniture pieces are made from cheap, soft woods that don't hold up and simply wear out after a year or two of use. Poorly made furniture can stain, chip, or break easily, but with oak, you don't have to worry about these problems. Oak is incredibly durable and can last generations if taken care of properly. And if you have a piece that is starting to look a little worn, oak can effortlessly be refurbished into its original glory. 2.Availability; When you're decorating your bedroom, conveniently finding pieces that will fit the space and your sense of style is important. Oak is one of the most popular types of wood for furniture, so it is found in furniture stores all over. No matter what you're looking for – a bed frame, headboard, dresser, nightstand, or rocking chair – oak furniture is readily available almost everywhere you look. 3.Affordability; Whether your budget is small or large, there are oak furniture pieces available in all price ranges. In general, oak can be a bit more of an investment, simply due to the quality and durability you get. However, before going straight to a retail store to find what you're looking for (and probably drop a large chunk of cash), look for used pieces that might be found at garage sales, resale shops, or online sources such as Craigslist. You might be able to find exactly what you're looking for and save a lot of money in the process! 4. Exclusivity; There are no two pieces of oak furniture that are exactly the same. If you want a bedroom that is truly one of a kind, having oak furniture throughout is the way to go. Many oak carving companies specialize in carving customized pieces of bedroom furniture, which means you can have a piece that has been designed just for you, just the way you want it. What a unique way to put a personal touch on your bedroom! 5.Versatility Whether it's Spanish, Colonial, Modern, Italian, or a Contemporary that you're looking for, oak furniture comes in virtually any style. It comes in a variety of shades varying from very light to very dark, and it can also be painted other colors. Oak also comes in a variety of finishes. You could have a sophisticated oiled finish, a lacquered finish, or an unfinished rustic look. Oak furniture will give your bedroom a warm and inviting atmosphere that beckons you to come and relax. Oak can magically beautify your home, transforming it into the escape that you need at the end of a long, draining day. Send by Tom Channell-Lights & Furniture
