How to design your house in the romantic style

The romantic interior design style is very delicate: soft fabrics, floral patterns, painted furniture, pastel colours and lots of nice smelling flowers!

How can you obtain the romantic style:

- Use soft, pastel colours
- The romantic style is a femminin one, but this doesn't mean men don't like it. To have a room for both women and men, use some furniture with round shapes, mixed with stripes, a huge chair and dark wood accessories. Louis XVI furniture is a very appropriate one for the romantic style!
- The fabrics are very important for this style - the silk is the favourite of the designers, especially for the pillows. In the bedroom, you can use matelasse or velvet.
- The decorations are essential for the romantic feeling. You can use pearly shells, mirrors, silver photo frames and silver flower vases, and never forget the real flowers!
- The windows have big and beautiful curtains.

Here you have some nice decor ideas:

 

 

Christmas Tree decorating trends 2012

When you thing about Christmas, you see a beautiful green Christmas tree with red decorations. This is the tradition and everybody loves it, but sometimes people feel the need to change for something new. So, the ones who have the courage to change the way the Christmas tree looks can try some of 2012 decorating trends.

Gold and black

Gold and black decorations are sophisticated and elegant, for people who like luxury. You need a black Christmas tree and gold ornaments, like in the images below. You also need to decorate your table with these colours and well, all your house.

Frosted colours

Turquoise is of the most beautiful colours for this year's Christmas tree, but you can also try blue and green, all with a frosted look. Designers suggest to have a white Christmas tree, decorated with these frosted colours.

 

Pastel colours

Pastel pink, violet, blue and green decorations work so well with a white Christmas tree. It's a very romantic look.

 

The sweet theme

This year is time for a sweet Christmas tree: use decorations that look like cookies, candies and lollipops.

Natural decorations

Let's celebrate nature by having a Christmas tree full of natural ornaments: pine cones, wood decorations, branches....everything you can imagine.

Yo! Home, the 4-in-1 house: The studio that transforms into a four rooms apartment

Simon Woodroffe created a studio that transforms in a big house: there's only one room, but it can transform into four other rooms at the touch of a button.

The entrepreneur has created a studio that offers more space by hiding rooms into the walls, which appear at the touch of a button or the pull of a wall.

These hidden rooms are operated with 12 mechanical moving parts, that create 80sq m rooms in one single 80sq m room.

You can have a master bedroom, a simple bedroom, a living room, a cinema, a dining room, an office, a kitchen, a breakfast room, a bathroom, a party room and even a wine cellar.

The Yo! Home is the culmiation of seven years of design and development.

"Since the invention of the city centre apartment, we've never really re-invented it. YO! Home is that new invention", says Mr. Woodroffe.

The incredible home is inspired from the way experts manage stage mechanics on West End shows and from the principles of Japanese living, where the simple and adaptable layout of the rooms allows many activities to take place in the same space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cel mai iubit stil de amenajare a casei: Shabby Chic

Shabby-chic este unul din stilurile cele mai iubite de amenajare interioară, mai ales de către femei, fiind unul extrem de confortabil şi de relaxat.

Stilul shabby-chic se bazează pe mobilă comfortabilă, cu aspect antic, dar extrem de cochetă, accesorii vintage şi culori pastelate. Stilul a fost identificat de designerul Rachel Ashwell în 1989: se folosesc modele înflorate, culori pastelate, mobilă pictată în culori deschise, feţe de masă din dantelă, accesorii din fier forjat şi multe flori.

Shabby Chic reuşeşte să îmbine cu eleganţă lucrurile vechi cu cele noi, accesoriile strălucitoare cu cele din lemn, covoarele pufoase şi elementele din dantelă.

Cum puteţi obţine stilul Shabby Chic în casa voastră:

Culori delicate, pastelate

Dacă vă plac culorile primare îndrăzneţe, atunci Shabby Chic nu este pentru voi. Acest stil foloseşte culori pastelate şi delicate, iar schema de culori favorită este bazată pe alb, roz şi verde.

Combinaţi modele şi culori

Combinaţi dungi cu pătrate şi cu flori pentru a obţine un aspect cald şi prietenos. Important este să alegeţi o culoare care să se repete în fiecare model, precum roz sau verde pastel.

Mobilă pictată în alb

Aproape orice piesă de mobilier se potriveşte cu stilul Shabby Chic dacă este pictată în alb. Puteţi să folosiţi mobilă veche pe care să o vopsiţi în alb, transformând-o complet.
