Home Decorating

This Spring, natural is the latest trend. Lets talk about rugs. Rugs that utilize natural, eco-friendly materials, such as jute, bamboo, or natural grasses create a warm floor covering with amazing textures and colors.

As the sun begins to warm the earth, walk outside and look around at your outdoor home. Add a fresh new bird feeder, weathervane or garden bench to liven up your garden home décor.

Good rugs lie flat on their backs, without wrinkles or ripples along their edges. Rugs with wrinkles, curled edges and so on, besides disturbing the eye, wear prematurely. Still, don’t ask for perfection, especially from tribal rugs made under difficult conditions.

When deciding on your home decor, do not be afraid to mix and match different items of decor. The style of your home should reflect you. What makes a person unique is often the variety of their tastes. Your likes and desires, dislikes and distastes, should all be reflected.

Each room should make you truly feel at home. Your guests should be able to walk in and feel absolutely comfortable and invited. You can use your home decor to set a particular mood in a room - make your living room welcoming, your bathroom soothing, your bedroom cozy or seductive, or your family room bright and cheery. Be sure to have fun with it! 

Finding a rug is quite tricky. It's a hunt of it's own.
If you’re interested in traditional Persian or Tribal rug designs, you may consider purchasing an antique rug through a respected dealer. You may also find new rugs that look old, at a lower price. Contemporary designs are widely available, many of which have been adapted from old techniques and styles.

Aah, the cooking room. Your kitchen often dictates the layout of the cabinetry simply by its size and shape, so we have come up with some innovative ways to use it to your advantage.

How to plan and create the ideal kitchen space has its own arts.

So, whats the size of your kitchen, is it small, medium or a big one? Are you planning on make it a Galley kitchen, L-shaped kitchen, U-shaped kitchen or an Island shape styles?

Whatever the shape or size of your kitchen, you should start to design the solution to create a perfect working scheme.

Well, where to start?

One of the most common and simplest layouts is the U-shaped kitchen, comprising three walls of units. It's also very practical, as you can have the cooker and hob at the centre with the sink and fridge at either end - the perfect working triangle. In compact areas, ensure there's at least 2m of space in the centre; if the room is large, keep the working triangle at the ends of the U.

Fit tall units at the end of the U-shape
Jude Keenan, Kitchen Planner at John Lewis's fitted kitchens department in London says, ‘Try to fit tall units to the end of the U-shape, away from windows where they can obstruct daylight. Consider where the door is and what needs to be near it - the dishwasher and sink perhaps - and what is best kept out of the way, such as the cooker.'

Yes, Multifunction Oven, it's exist folks.
The oven is arguably the most important kitchen appliance so make the right choice and leave future headache with these simple tips.
