There are times when we buy a house and we find that has a column in the room in which we had not fixed enough to bother us the furnishing, a column in the middle of a very complicated things stay because conditions greatly the distribution of furniture, however if I place column and move on a whim, can be even decorative.

Maybe in my house and no column that when I see other houses many times I like, I guess I have not had to face it and furnishing it costs me more to see its drawbacks, though many people I have spoken of them, the issue is that the image does not give problems, but solve them, not a column but a fictitious construction for storage timber that hangs from the ceiling in the place who likes it and that its base has a marble pedestal.

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.

All your storage places, such as overflowing Read the rest of this entry »

In the Netherlands, Orange summons a national pride; in Asia it is a holy color used only for Buddhist monks robes; and in the US our immediate reaction is Halloween! Only recently has this brighter, more spectral aspect of the Orange family been more openly received in America. Previously only Spice tones of Cinnabar, Allspice, Paprika and Terracotta were marketable consumer colors.

Fortunately, the influx of bright acidic tones of lime green and lemon yellow in apparel, recreational gear, autos and electronics naturally brought along Tangerine; and Orange then was accepted more readily. Variations of Orange Read the rest of this entry »

You can have everything, in your home you ever dreamed of, but if you don’t take the time to display the objects within it with care and consideration, it will never look right.

• Start by clearing every surface-mantel, walls and tablestops. Now start again and try to avoid repeating the same arrangements you had previously.
