Luxury Interiors & Home Furnishings.

October 28th, 2010 Andrea Mundell-Bowen 2 comments

When I think about luxury interior and furnishings, I think of high end exquisite fabrics, textures, details, colours and materials. These elements can work together to make a space look classy, chic and sophisticated.

Having a home full of expensive furniture and ornaments can make you feel precious and important, it is fundamental to have a functional space for entertainment or relaxation but we still should be comfortable in our own surrounding. Some people may buy luxurious items because of its expensive price tag others as a show piece; I don’t think we all are materialistic, we like to appreciate the craftmanship behind each creation. Luxurious items are different in standard and quality, the care and attention to detail that has gone into each items makes it more durable and lush.

I will show you some different type of furnishing and interiors but all have the notion of luxury.

Chinchilla FauxFur Stripe Throw

The chinchilla faux fur throw: is considered to have the softest fur in the world it’s also incredibly warm.  As this modern faux fur holds a variety of colours, it complements a whole host of colour scheme, which includes blacks, white, earthy and bold tones. It can be used as a throw over the bed, sofa or as a decorative wall hanging. I prefer mine over a sofa keeking me nice, warm and cosy while watching a bit of TV. This super lovely fashionable throw is from www.fauxfurthrows.com. U.K.

Charles ll style mirror

The Charles II style mirror captures Edwardian gothic style, an exquisite piece of novelty to have as a centre piece.

Victorian bedroom wardrobe: this dark wood wardrobe is beautifully crafted, but be careful with large dark interiors try to maintain a balance, you would not want your bedroom to feel small and unsettling.

Dining room with glass table and chairs: sometimes keeping it simple captures the beauty in luxury, break up the theme with small ornaments and furnishing. With a room that’s capturing a lot of natural light it’s essential to have some natural elements, colour and texture to balance the deco.

And finally

I find furniture designer Roberto Ventura designs fabulous. New designs with classical influence gives his furnitures character. Each individual piece is captivating,  the detailing of the patterns, straight lines and curves on each furniture has a story to tell.  The rich bold upholstery makes each creation stand proud, on its own in a living room or in a reception it will be the focus of everyone’s desires.

Thank you for your time in reading the latest addition to my blogs.

Designer ChunWei Laio is demonstrating the durability of the product…

 

 

100% Design London 2010 has exhibited a great number of inspirational products for your architectural or interior needs. The product that has caught my eye in this year’s show is the Transformer Collection designed by ChunWei Liao.                                                                                                                                                                                  

When the economy is weak and people are worried, Shoppers don’t want to risk spending money. A sustainable and environmentally friendly product made from cardboard or solid wood at an affordable price sounds great. The Transformer Collection comes flat packaged and gives you the control in what you want to build it can be a built into a pendant light to a piece of furniture.

The system is designed like pieces of logo, it has folded geometric shapes which are connected together to form the furniture of your desire whilst having the option to change the form of the product every day. It is astonishingly strong and flexible in many ways, it can be scaled to more or less any size and just to bring in some unique flair it can be painted or printed on for your own personal fulfilments.
