Table lamps can provide ambient or task lighting or simply brighten up a dark corner. Look for a unique lamp that reflects your style and personality. Choose a lamp that is appropriately sized for its location; small lamps work well for dark corners on kitchen or bathroom benches, while bedside lamps should be at least 24 to 28 inches in height (61 to 71 cm). When selecting a lamp, consider whether you need it for reading or illuminating a larger area with a cloth shade. Table lamps are also great for buffets or credenzas near dining tables, rather than using an overhead pendant light.  radilum.com radilum.com thelightingoutlet.com.au  lampsplus.com  replicafurniture.com.au fentonandfenton.com.au 

It's easy to walk into a furniture store and buy all your furniture that matches, is contemporary, and is available. The only problem is that it is mass-produced, and furniture stores sell the same thing repeatedly. Let's say you have a piece of furniture that a family member gave to you. It's unique, but often the timber colour is orange, red, yellow, or dark brown, which may not be the colours you had in mind. The colour should be updated rather than giving the furniture to someone else (who may paint it). There is nothing wrong with stained timber, especially if you have a traditional style home, and the antique furniture piece fits beautifully with your aesthetic. Value antiques may be the exception to the rule.   pinterest  pinterest   thewoolacorn.blogspot.com  homebnc.com 

Remember the following information: The bed can be an expensive addition to a room. The base, mattress, and linen can add up. Considering how long we sleep each night, it's a worthwhile investment. When your toddler moves out of the cot, you might think about getting a small bed, like a single one. However, you would be better off choosing a king single. The king single is longer and wider, making it the perfect bed for when your child is pre-adolescent. A quality mattress should last around ten years, so it is a worthwhile investment. In early childhood, the bed becomes a play area, with kids generally jumping up and down on it. This can lead to injuries, as the frame of the bed is often made of timber or metal. That's why I recommend an ensemble, the firm base is further from being dangerous, and the headboard adds comfort and protects the wall. Drawers in the base offer storage solutions, and often the colour selection of the bed frame is limited, so you might want to choose a neutral colour like grey to go with most other colours. A waterproof mattress protector is essential against accidents, helping to keep the mattress clean from spills, sweat and stains. We should clean the mattress protector at least every other month to keep it hygienic. After all, mattress protectors are designed to protect and we don't want stains on our expensive mattresses.  bedsahead.com  fantasticfurniture.com.au tontine.com.au 

Here we have a wonderful selection of cushions from potterybarn.com.au  "A white linen shirt and denim jeans are the basics and so are these cushions a timeless selection that works in any home and with any decor. Muted colours and textures like velvet, bouclé, and luxurious linens add style and work well with both modern and classic interiors due to their natural feel and fibres. They provide a perfect backdrop for adding stripes, small florals, printed, and embroidered cushions." Steer away from cushions with decorative additions, bold patterns and colours, shapes other than square or rectangle, and a shiny finish. 

"Whether it's a shop you're visiting or a home, the more dramatic the room, the more memorable it becomes. Navy and white, or black and white, create contrast and are especially effective when applied uniquely. Also, finding decor and furnishings that are rare and treasured takes time, and although it's not the most affordable path, it's worth it in the long run because what you've created is uniquely you."  homehop.com  essentialhome.eu  Images from Pinterest

Murals and prints have become increasingly popular. There are numerous high-quality images available to help you create a unique and personal touch. Prints are more affordable and easier to install and remove, which is especially convenient for renters. On the other hand, murals are more expensive since they cover an entire wall and require paste to adhere, although some are available as peel-and-stick options (it's important to have solid surfaces and walls in good condition, especially when removing the mural). Both options are great, but the choice depends on the size of the wall and the chosen image. A mural is perfect for a large wall and can create a stunning feature wall. ukposters.co.uk wallpapershop.co.uk ukposters.co.uk wallpapershop.co.uk 

I generally find black and white striped walls very severe and dominating. Here we have a selection of walls with stripes that show how the colors and the width of the stripes combined with the elements in the room can make a great impact. The layering in the first image makes the green and pink stripes a beautiful backdrop to a selection of art. The second image shows black and white stripes that are finer, like ticking material. Image three demonstrates how much nicer the stripes look when colour is used. It's important to remember that black and white are technically not colours, so the red and white stripes create a dramatic accent for this foyer. The navy and white horizontal stripes are a stunning addition to an otherwise simple passageway, and the colourful art adds an even greater dimension. It's important to be aware that vertical stripes add height and horizontal stripes add width, so use this knowledge to your benefit. Also, be a little braver in areas of your home that are typically dismissed and make them stand out.  smithhonig.com pinterest housebeautiful.com  hadleycourt.com washingtonian.com

"When you walk into a room and feel agitated because you think it's cluttered and can't wait to leave, it's easy to know where your preferences lie. On the other hand, some find the same surroundings exciting and are happy to view every piece. A maximalist is not a hoarder, but rather a collector who carefully plans each addition to create a cohesive room. It can take years to gather unique pieces of furniture and decor, some of which may be very expensive while others are thrifted. Aim for a layered, personal, and collected look. The first image features a mirrored ceiling, utilizing its reflective qualities to elevate the ceiling, or 5th wall, to a whole new level. The second image shows how easily two rooms can become one by removing a good portion of the wall, opening up the space, allowing light to enter, and making the rooms appear larger. The third image is a very controlled form of maximalism with a limited palette but all surfaces are fully utilized. Need a room for books? Simply add custom shelving to make use of what could have been wasted space. Bare walls are not even considered by a true maximalist." rugsociety.eu   soft-hummingbird  ahouseinthehills.com smithhonig.com 

Faux finishes have been used for centuries to create the illusion of different surfaces, adding texture and dimension to a wall. Many grand homes economized by painting walls to look like timber rather than using the real thing. A faux finish is a painting technique that adds depth and interest to an otherwise flat surface. Once you see the finish, you realize how boring a plain wall can be. An easy way to update the look of any room is to use a colour wash technique that adds several thin layers of paint to your walls. Another option for a faux finish on walls is to use a glaze. A glaze is a medium you use to mix with paint to manipulate the depth and variations of colour. Choose rich, earthy colours to create a room full of character and style.  tisdalmanor.com marioninteriordesign.com  pinterest  billingsblessingbags.org  spatespainting.com

Here are some examples of sofa placements combined with an ottoman or a coffee table. Sofas come in various sizes and shapes, and we choose them for different reasons, such as comfort, to complete the lounge room, and to create a style that suits us. Sofas and occasional chairs are usually quite large, so it's important to have the right coffee table or ottoman to fit your layout for aesthetics and comfort. Our guide shows different configurations and the best-sized coffee table or ottoman to use. It's important to choose a size that complements the sofas; a tiny table with a huge sofa will not look right, and vice versa. Scale is an important factor to consider in order to get the correct proportions. The ottoman or coffee table should be at least two-thirds the length of the longest sofa. 

If you're looking for art with meaning, consider maps. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but they also showcase the history of navigation over the centuries as brave explorers ventured into the new world. Maps are perfect for an office, a rumpus room, or a bar, and they make for great conversation pieces. Choose a map with a colour palette that matches your furniture and decor. You can also select a map that represents where you live or a country you want to visit. When it comes to framing, you can go for a modern floating frame or a rich gold decorative style frame – any style will work, as maps are timeless and classical.  childforallseasons.com antiqueprintmaproom.com antiqueprintmaproom.com

"Whether you're hosting a casual brunch or a dinner party, inside or outside, laying out beautiful place settings will elevate any dining experience. It doesn't take much to set up an attractive tablescape. A collection of dining plates, gorgeous glasses, a stunning tablecloth, beautiful cutlery, and flowers are essential for any set table. Try to keep the central decoration at a comfortable height so guests can see and converse with the person opposite. Don't overload the table with lots of decorative items other than the essentials. By the time glassware, napkins, serving platters, salt and pepper, cutlery, and plates are on the table, it will be full. Prepare as much food the day before so you can spend the maximum amount of time with your guests. Good food and plenty to drink, a recipe for success.  pinterest  luxxu.net luxxu.net

The best inspiration for a luxury bathroom often comes from those found in high-end hotels. If you have a generous budget and ample time to source stunning fixtures and tiles, you can create the bathroom of your dreams. It's uncommon to see white cabinets or tiles in a luxury setting; instead, materials like marble, granite, and porcelain tiles are frequently used, often reaching to the ceiling. A luxury soaker tub is essential, but be aware that many have rounded bottoms, which can make it difficult to stretch out your legs. It's wise to sit in the tubs at showrooms to ensure they suit your height, go to a showroom, take your shoes off and climb right in making sure you fit and are comfortable.  Luxury lighting is a crucial element in achieving a high-end look. Consider adding a statement light fixture, as well as lighting on either side of the mirrors.  Ambient lighting throughout the room can highlight unique features and create a warm atmosphere. Finally, don’t forget to include thick, luxurious towels and robes to enhance comfort.  luxurybathrooms.eu   artofit.org tv-darkside.blogspot.com au.pinterest.com 

A headboard is a piece of furniture that attaches to the head of a bed or the wall, providing both comfort and style to your bed base and mattress. It plays a significant role in transforming the overall look and feel of a bedroom, creating an eye-catching focal point with minimal effort. Ensemble beds are a great choice for bedding because traditional frames can move and squeak, causing disturbances. An ensemble offers 100% comfort, as it remains stable, and the headboard is completely separate. This design also allows for easy cleaning behind the bed, helping to remove dust and access architraves. Additionally, headboards provide comfortable back support when sitting up in bed, making them far more inviting than a hard wall. If you enjoy reading, using a laptop, or watching television in bed, you'll appreciate the comfort of a padded and upholstered headboard. Once you experience this level of comfort, you'll never want anything else. Headboards can be wall-mounted using a French cleat, which is often considered the best option. They come in a wide variety of types and sizes to meet your needs, along with an extensive selection of fabrics. It’s advisable to choose a durable fabric like velvet or polyester, which can be professionally cleaned if necessary. While there are many shapes to choose from, prioritize padding over hard surfaces. Keep the design simple and consider a plain fabric that complements the colours in the room. It's best to avoid patterned fabrics that may become dated, as well as tufted designs, which often have a more traditional feel. 

Enhance your entertaining experience with a stylish home bar. The size of your bar will depend entirely on the space you have available. Bars can take various forms, such as a sideboard, a cupboard, a corner of the room, or even an entire room. Here are four examples of home bars: two are sit-down and served, while the other two are walk-throughs, possibly extensions of a kitchen or located near the dining area. Where you place your bar doesn't matter as much as ensuring that it is comfortable and allows guests to help themselves to drinks. You want to avoid making your bar resemble a typical pub or a kitchen. Consider whether your bar will include a water source for a sink. Although adding plumbing for a water supply can be quite involved, it is worth the effort. Additionally, think about incorporating a wine or beverage refrigerator. A wall-mounted glass and brass shelf for displaying bottles and glassware can add a touch of elegance to the space. By focusing on comfort, practicality, and style, you can create a welcoming area to unwind.  mx.pinterest.com  thespruce.com classiccupboards.com 

Art is a wonderful addition to any room design, reflecting a personality and style that is uniquely yours. When it comes to art, it’s often a matter of love or hate; choose pieces that hold personal significance to you, and you will always appreciate them. In a bar setting, art can showcase your interests, transforming the space into a true man cave or woman cave. It serves as a conversation starter, allowing your guests to get to know what you enjoy. The images you select can provide inspiration that goes beyond typical sporting interests.  templeandwebster.com.au templeandwebster.com.au  templeandwebster.com.au templeandwebster.com.au  templeandwebster.com.au  templeandwebster.com.au wallartprints.com.au  wallartprints.com.au wallartprints.com.au 

No matter the size of your home, there is an ottoman that will meet your needs. Ottomans are essential for any living room, bedroom, spare room, office, or even at the foot of your bed. They combine stylish functionality and practicality. Ottomans are ideal for putting your feet up, creating extra space, and providing additional seating while adding character to your home. You can place a tray on top to convert it into a serving area as well. Ottomans offer extra seating without obstructing the view, making them a convenient addition to bathrooms or walk-in wardrobes, where they can serve as seating or a place to lay out clothes for the day. Designed to accommodate your home’s essentials, these ottomans come in various colours, sizes, and styles to match your taste and instantly elevate your living space. One of the key advantages of an ottoman is that it is the perfect height for putting on your shoes. Therefore, positioning an ottoman by your front or back door or in the mudroom makes it a practical item for everyday use. When selecting fabric, choose a hard-wearing option like polyester rather than cotton or linen. Cushion-top ottomans may lose their shape over time, so consider getting one with a fixed, well-padded top instead. If you choose a storage ottoman, keep in mind that once it is filled, it may become difficult to move, risking damage to the legs. This selection showcases different types of finishes, so think beyond the ordinary and consider creating something special by modifying and upholstering an old coffee table or small dining table.   chairish.com chairish.com  chairish.com  1stdibs.com  1stdibs.com  1stdibs.com  1stdibs.com  1stdibs.com

Here, we present a selection of what we believe are perfectly sized ottomans. While custom-made options allow for any size you desire, these popular dimensions are designed for ease of handling, transporting, and moving around the home. I have not included storage ottomans, as the hydraulic arms often fail, they can be cumbersome when full, and the risk of the lid falling on little fingers is a significant concern. The style options are endless, and the range of fabrics is extensive, so feel free to be creative. Additionally, round ottomans should come with round feet, square ottomans with square feet, and rectangular ottomans can have either square or elongated feet. If you have an ottoman in your home, I can guarantee that you will use it daily, especially excellent for putting on your shoes, so one in the mud room is a welcome addition.

All-white bathrooms create a sense of space, reflect light, and provide a blank canvas that is calming, classic, and timeless. White is the most popular bathroom choice for a reason. Generally, white tiles and bathroom fittings are cost-effective and easy to redecorate; painting the cabinet fronts is a simple change. Here are four white bathrooms: if you are happy with a clean and crisp white bathroom but would like to add some colour, an option is to paint the ceiling a soft colour that complements the bathroom and maybe the adjoining bedroom. Paint only the flat ceiling and not the cornice. Add an extra punch of colour with towels. When painting the ceiling, clean it first with sugar soap. Use matt or low-sheen paint, and if the bathroom is constantly prone to steam, use suitable bathroom paint. Unless your bathroom is oversized, 500ml to 1 litre is sufficient. There are different types of white to choose from, and whether it’s warm or cool can affect your bathroom. Bathroom-ready-made cabinets are a particular shade of white, so consider that shade as a guide for your tiles. Also, try to add texture with the style of tile to add interest. After all, white is the perfect neutral backdrop for any range of colours and materials, so take advantage of that.  Sherwin Williams - Tidewater  Sherwin Wiliams - Oleander Sherwin Williams - Aivary Blue  Sherwin Williams - Gray Screen smalldesignideas.com  decoist.com  luxurybathrooms.eu  pinterest

Those who like red have a zest for life, are competitive, and are not afraid to take risks. Those who prefer deeper reds are often more subtle. Red is a brave color to use, and you will be rewarded as red rooms make a statement and impress those who enter. Whether it be lacquer, high gloss paint, wallpaper, or just paint, red demands attention and stimulates the senses. It's often claimed to be unsuitable for bedrooms as it is a stimulating color that can make sleep difficult. However, since color is light, once the lights go out, all you see is varying shades of black. Create an energizing and warm welcome with a red painted hallway, library, or powder room. Choosing the right shade of red for an interior can be quite tricky, but if you take your time to select the right one, it can bring energy and style into your space. Gather a selection of paint swatches, as many as you can, adhere the samples to the wall in question and view the swatches day and night, remove the ones that are not appealing to you and you should end up with the correct red. Red has limited pigment in the paint, so before you paint your walls red, use an undercoat. This will give the paint an even and rich red as opposed to a dull red if a darker color is the base.  pinterest  pinterest  housebeautiful.com   pinterest

Chartreuse is a French liqueur first produced by Carthusian monks in 1737. Chartreuse is the colour directly between green and yellow, it was named because of its resemblance to the French liqueur. The greener is cooler, more yellow is warmer, a consideration for either a cool or warm room.   mydomaine.com elledecor.com  splendidhabitat.com  pinterest pinterest
