Pearl Street Design

We have asked repeatedly how is the best way to make the hole under the stairs, since space is limited and a somewhat difficult. I really like the solution you have on these lines on the television that have placed just below the upper echelons.

As we have seen before, a few steps suspended (in this case metal) are ideal for books in different racks that I imagine to be custom made. The desk positioned so the hole occupies exactly perpendicular to fit comfortably pass a television and leaves a space below to place a cabinet of drawers, it seems simple, right?

The most unexpected materials can serve as a starting point to create economic and original furniture. Whether you simply love to work with your hands or a lack of budget, if we look around, we will find how to recreate a table that insurance does not leave anyone indifferent. Today we see a coffee table very practical and original made with pipes, and in which not only has not tried to hide the origin of these, but has been enhanced to become center of attention.

The top of the table is a wooden board painted bright blue color that provides an interesting contrast with the black pipe. The board has two holes used to securely hold glasses or bowls, so we can eat or snack before her uncomfortable avoiding spills. Read the rest of this entry »

I was watching the refurbishment of a house, one of these homes that are purchased in a state of advanced deterioration that become design houses with furniture and details to last and what struck me most was this strange clock, the clock needles are actually central to which each can be connected in each of the twelve points that mark each hour the item you want.

I found it curious that they put in each of these twelve points, as many watches, besides the retro style alarm clock, creating an interesting contrast to the rest of the decor is very modern at all times, the color chosen for they pistachio green, which blends with the chocolate brown for much of the furniture in these clocks can be synchronized in all the same time, putting in different countries or not work in reality and are only for decoration.

We know that the bed is not the best place to watch TV, but the truth is that this appliance has entered many of our bedrooms to stay. Tell me that is not for you the past that you see and you wish to view the TV from the bed in a comfortable position where you do not stay asleep too soon (unless it is that your intention).

Decorate to comfortably watch television need not be difficult. Here’s how:

* Get several pillows: I’m not a big fan of filling the beds with cushions, but I must admit that for a screen from the bed, I need at least a cushion for the back and one for the head (which my headboard is forging and I nailed the hierritos). Read the rest of this entry »

I have to admit that at first was to add the title of this post headlined “good idea” but then I was about to be changed to “a bad idea” and although in the end I became convinced that a good idea at least in terms of practicality concerned, has little, I abstain from scoring and that each define it at will.

The fact is that in my hall I have a necklace hanger in which I hanging out and picking up every day that best suits my clothes or mood, and departure, it seems a good idea to use them to decorate, but with the condition that is practical, since otherwise we would make a bread cakes.

As you see in the picture, this corner decorated on top with a large collection of necklaces, all practically hanging by a ribbon attached to the ceiling. The idea is original, and even the image it seems to me like a border, but just thinking that to be one of those collars have to deploy a ladder, climb on the shoulders of a relative, or killing jumps, I will removing the urge at times.

Readers, enlighten today I see it all very unclear and you, what do you think of this idea?

This is not the first time we have to decorate the walls with newspapers, but this time the owners have decided to do in the classroom. This newspaper has chosen a large and probably taken from a microfilm, or so it seems because of their whiteness. See how they have been left gaps between them so that they differ from other pages and trying to change the styles of the same: we both pages of ads, news photos and news without picture.

If you want to match it at home, you will have to put much effort for you not to be too punk (unless this effect is that you are looking for). As I said, the ideal would choose newspapers that are as white with possible or at least similar colors. You know that if you keep the newspapers a long time, they tend to yellow, so be careful and place them in parallel so that they are with a pretty design.

For better preservation, the ideal is that you give them a veneer treatment as a wall or using the decoupage technique we’ve seen on other occasions. Do you like the idea or too casual?

The budget that we have to buy a home, sometimes does not allow us to buy our dream house, often the rooms are not as great as we would like, especially children’s bedrooms, which have a number of square meters insufficient for the activity that young people should develop there.

We have already said several times that a teen’s room should have three rooms, the rest corresponding to the area of the bed, study desk and comfortable chair and leisure space with bean bags or floor cushions decorated to your taste for leisure, the idea is a bit utopian, but there is furniture that can help us to combine the three functions in a  small space.

For example this Mariani Desktop Plus you see under the bed when not in use and will be drawn forward and rises when we make use of it, is not the same as having separate rooms, but at least offers comfort, a large table and it seems comfortable, there are other furniture with the same signature wit to solve problems similar space.

Many times when we just decorate the head full of ideas not stop to ask what a space if we had chosen another setting, other textile or other colors but we find it difficult to visualize. Today I want to share with you two rooms Crosby Street in New York that they have equal proportions and almost identical furniture but decorated in two different ways, using as white and black.

Observe how both superior image like the one you have in these lines, is part of the same space: black walls, a large window, a double bed and two tables of different width (a solution difficult, but they went well ). Are also the same table lamps in the two cases and boxes that are on the headboard but in a different configuration, although the space on the tables is the same in the two rooms?

In the first bedroom, black and white, have chosen a textile white and black diamonds for the headboard to the chair that you have the right and the cushions, while the bedspread is completely white. The curtain is committed to a geometric pattern in black and brown that is also found in the dummy on the left. See how the tails of the bed are black, sober, to focus all attention on the impact of the headboard wall. Read the rest of this entry »

This week I am happy because I travel I meet people I really like, so I decided that I will be kind to you and make it easy for decorative riddle on Friday, but I hope do you think at least a little.

As always I will give you a clue, the key is the size how big do you think has it? Because for example, measuring several meters high could be a space capsule to travel the world with style, but just is not that, it is that I’m very imaginative …

Well, I leave you with your thoughts and see if hit is all and give me joy.
