It's starts with A Desk and A Chair

Nowadays, it seems as though everyone is getting into the work – at – home thing . . .  it’s the ” in thing” now as many people are getting laid off and loosing their jobs. To secure yourself from loosing another job in this climate many beople are setting up home offices or small offices and becoming self employed. .

Well it’s one thing to make that decision and quite another to create a workplace that’s just right for you and you home. A home office can be anywhere in the house as long as it has privacy and protection from the rest of the home including the spouce, children or even the animals.

In the cupboard is the not a bad idea as it can be closed off at the end on the day.

For a small home office you may just need some cupboard space to create a cozy and organized room to start.

An office space in your living room is a very good way to utilized your space

A wall shelf  unit that is placed in your lounge, living room, or even the hall way is a great idea if you have no young childern running around. A very creative idea for a home office space.

A desk, a chair and some boxes one the wall is all you need!

An office space in the loft means privacy and peace and quiet for you and at the end of the day you can leave the work behind you.

Early Spring is the time to convert your loft space to office space. It’s soooo cool to have your home office in the loft, it’s a perfect area to work in.

We all know kitchen is referred the heart of a home. The new approach to a modern kitchen these days are to have a sleek surface and minimalist cupboards. This Kitchen designed by Bontempi Omnia, would be a fabulous area to entertain your guest, but a space such as this would only suit you if you are a couple or a small family.

This Kitchen is a great solution for a small interior space.

each individual component can be separated and then pushed together, which creates a single unit. This creates additional free space for the interior.

As the image above displays, having a loft conversion does not have to be for the interior, it can be an extension from the interior to create a dynamic visual.  What I find interesting about this conversion, is how the loft becomes an individual section of the structure, but still maintains a bond with the main building.

This loft space is converted into a spacious bedroom; it has large windows that draw light into the room, this allows the space to look larger than it is.

Improve your Bathroom and Kitchen by replacing old tiles.

Windows are never complete without curtains, shutters or window blinds, imagine having a window without curtains, shutters or blinds?

Don’t you feel very bare, and the room looks plain or naked? Yes, you know what I mean, you feel someone outside is watching you and that’s not a comfortable feeling at all. I think that window dressings are very important when it comes to the complete look of your room so here are some tips on how to find the best window dressings for you.

First, you have to consider the shape of the room and the deco the room has. How do you want your windows to serve its purpose? You could go with curtains if you have a large enough room or blinds or shutters for a smaller or mid size room, or even just a blind and a swag thrown across. If you are looking for something that gives privacy inside your home, then you should get blinds that are non-transparent and these can also be used with curtains. If you want your window dressings to control the lighting, a more transparent dressing like Muslin or Voiles are recommended.

Second, you have to select the material of your choice that will suit your deco. They are thousands of beautiful fabrics on the market with different prices ranging from £500.00 per metre – just £19.00 a metre depending on you taste, style and budget.

The next step would be to decide the shape of your window and the style you need to compliment your room.

Whatever window dressings you decided to have made and install on your windows, you should always keep in mind that they should make you feel comfortable, homely and provide privacy for you and your family.

They are many experts out there to help you with your window treatments. They will come to measure your windows, show you samples and make and install in a turnaround of just three weeks.

We enjoy the beauty of making and installing curtains, shutters and blinds of all kinds wooden or fabric and we are offering a 10% off out original prices for the month of July.

All it takes is a phone call and we will do the rest for you to enjoy in the comfort of your home, office, school, restaurant, club or bar.

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.

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.

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

Cushions, drapes and curtains create comfort, depth, warmth and privacy

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.
