Modern Wall Units – Gallery Collection by Milmueble

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Making living rooms more practical, convenient and stylish is a trend that has been growing in US over the past 5 years at a staggering speed – wall units.  Just like the Europeans have been placing a big emphasis on storage and organization (due to having limited living spaces), folks in US, especially those who like modern, minimal and clutter free environments have been taking advantage of the vertical spaces in their homes to help organize, decorate and simply make every inch of the room work for them. Gallery is the 2009 collection of modern wall units by Milmueble and is an upgrade to the vertical horizons in the house.

How to Decorate Modern Interiors Using Grey Colors

Monday, November 9th, 2009

The color Grey is known as a dull, color-less element often forgone in favor of the elegant black and white combo, the earthy tones and even the lively colors found in rainbows.  Yet, the application of grey color in modern home décor is anything but dull.  Grey is often used as an anchor for another color.  For example, if you really like (and are brave enough to want to use) pink to decorate a room but are afraid of its girly connotation feel free to add grey to the palette and automatically create a very sophisticated color combo.  The abundance of grey tones, inadvertently give it the freedom to be incorporated as a diffuser in a bold color scheme.  For example, when using primary colors or colors that don’t necessarily work together, use grey to diffuse or minimize that harsh contrast between the colors.

Great room décor ideas that incorporate grey include its combination with dark browns and neutral palette as seen in this modern bedroom that uses the Selex Crono platform bed with grey lacquered headboard and wenge deep brown wooden frame.
