The difference an inch (or two) can make…

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

Equivalent to 1/12th of a foot and 1/36th of a yard, inch is one tiny measurement that is frequently used with respect to spaces and all the decisions related to furnishing them; the inch is especially prevalent when determining proportion, spatial fit and open space dimension.  However, the inch can also be quite meaningful and powerful.

Italian modern sofas and sectionals are, in general, quite low to the ground which for many people (especially tall people) who really like the design, this presents a small issue.  This is where the “tiny” inch shows its true vastness; a slight elevation of the sofa’s or the sectional’s legs doesn’t just raise it higher off the floor, but also doesn’t alter its stylistic value.  One Italian leather furniture manufacturer that offers such level of personalization is Gamma Arredamenti with 38 differently sized and shaped metal legs and 50 options for wooden legs.

Modern Furniture Trends in 2011 – Modern Bedrooms Dressed in White

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Truly cosmopolitan, and not just in the ultra trendy fashion: the color white is still dominating modern bedroom interiors in 2011.  In the global perspective, it represents purity, simplicity, vigor and luminosity. On a micro-level, its sundry disposition allows it to be realized through myriad of stylistic interpretations; from subtle and elegant to puristic and minimal. But regardless of how and in what form the color white is used, the resulting design is demonstrative of remarkable taste.

Soothing colors scheme

Color is known to affect the mood, and has powerful spiritual, psychological and physiological capacities.  Select colors that are neutral like rich chocolates, elegant creams and warm copper to generate a calming atmosphere.  Selex Brisa platform bed by Milmueble in wenge and ebony lacquer is a great example of a rich, earthy and neutral palette with powerful and relaxing qualities.  As for an accent color, use pinks, reds, deep burgundies and even purples as these are the colors that symbolize love.

Proper bedroom layout

The bed should be as far away from the door as possible, usually at the opposite end of the room.  Do not position the bed directly under a ceiling fan or heavy beam and try to avoid putting the headboard directly under the window.  Footboard is not desired either as it hinders on positive energy.  Most importantly, make sure that your feet are not facing the door (that is the death position in Asian cultures) and leave enough room around the bed for energy to flow freely, and for convenience.  See Crono Leather Bedroom Set by Doimo for layout example.
