Storage furniture can be used to not only create storage space in your home, but can also be decorative. We purchased a new home last year which did not have the storage space we needed. We decided to use storage furniture to make some closets to create space, but we also wanted it to be decorative in the room. We decided that the best place for our storage furniture would be in our extra guest bedroom because there were not any closets in there. This particular room is on the backside of the fireplace, so there were two perfect spaces on either side of the fireplace where storage units could be put. We purchased some storage cabinets and assembled them to the walls on either side of the fireplace wall. We added some decorative molding and doors to the cabinets. We left two shelves at the top of each storage cabinet open to display pictures, or whatever. So, we not only have two beautiful storage cabinets, but we also have a place behind each door with shelves to store whatever we want hidden. Then we purchased a big cabinet to put on the fireplace wall, and we use that to store sheets, blankets and a television for the guest bedroom. It can also be used to store the guest’s clothes when we have a visitor. We transformed our room with storage furniture and everyone who sees it can’t believe how wonderful it looks.
Themed children’s furniture can be used to create a magical space.
April 1st, 2009
There are so many fun and exciting things that can be done in a child’s room now a days. There is themed childrens furniture and all sorts of accessories for every child’s personality or interests. I will tell you how I decorated my daughter’s room by coordinating her bed with other accessories. My daughter loves Tinkerbelle. I decided that a wonderful Christmas present would be to decorate her room like Tinkerbelle. So we purchased her a toddler Tinkerbelle canopy bed as the center piece of the room. I bought Tinkerbelle sheets, comforter and pillow case for the bed. I painted her walls pink and bought her some white dressers. Instead of using the knobs that came with the dressers, I purchased some Tinkerbelle knobs to go with the rest of the room. I found a Tinkerbelle hopscotch rug and some Tinkerbelle curtains to complete the look of the room. It is cozy and wonderful and she loves it. As you can see, by using childrens furniture you can create a wonderful magical place for your child that he/she will enjoy sleeping in every night.
Design your room using indoor furniture
March 31st, 2009Indoor furniture can be used to create a warm, inviting space in any room of your home. Let’s take the living room, by coordinating your furniture style and color with lamps, pillows, rugs, curtains and paint color you can create an atmosphere to suit your families needs. For instance, I wanted a warm, cozy living room where my family can relax at the end of the day and enjoy each other or watch a good movie. I decided that for the size of my living room, I would put a full couch as well as a double recliner in it. If you already have furniture, you can base your room on the style and color of that furniture, or if you decide to buy new furniture, you can start with a style and color to suite your needs as well as personality. I purchased dark brown leather and coordinated it with two light oak end tables and a sofa table. The tables have small brown squares of alternating dark and brown squares which go perfectly with the couches. I then picked out a neutral brown paint color for the walls to tie the room together. I found an area carpet with splashes of gold’s and brown in it for the center of the room. I matched the carpet with some gold curtains. The decided to use some lamps I already had which have prisms hanging from the shades. Then you can put candles or plants or decorations to go with your furniture and help add to the personality of the room. You can coordinate the furniture in every room of your house in this exact same way and create a fun living space that you will enjoy day after day.
