This Bedroom Went From Blank Slate to Beautiful

When it comes to decorating our homes, the bedroom (sadly) often becomes a low priority. Maybe it's because we spend most of our time in there with our eyes shut, or because it's the room least likely to be seen by guests. Whatever the reason, too many bedrooms tend to feel like blank slates.

That was precisely the case for Erica Chan Coffman of the blog HonestlyWTF. While the "before" (see below) shows a few promising elements (like the flokati rugs), the room didn't reflect her fabulous taste. That's why she turned to celebrity designer Will Wick, who collaborated with the online design service Decorist, to help bring out the personality in this space.

The new look feels cozy yet spacious, thanks to the neutral palette of white, beige, and gray hues. This serves to create a gallery-like effect that allows carefully curated accessories to truly shine. "It's such a perfect reflection of Erica's style, combining modern, vintage and global elements — from the pineapple lamp she scouted on Chairish, to the textured St. Frank Juju Hat from Cameroon, to the sleek lacquered nailhead dresser," Wick says.

CITY GARDENS

How does your garden grow? With city gardens, the answer is with ingenuity. 'I always light city gardens more than country gardens in order to create the effect of having another "room" when looking outside at night,' says Sally Storey, design director of John Cullen Lighting. Whether you have a roof terrace, an itty-bitty balcony or lush cityscape, get inspired by these garden design ideas perfect for city gardens. (Looking for more? Don't miss these small garden ideas.)

The double steel doors leading to the terrace were designed by Ebba Thott to give access from the main corridor. A rustic rocking chair and brightly patterned cushion give the London flat's outdoor space a relaxed atmosphere.

10 TIPS TO MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPIER AT HOME

We spend a good amount of time and money on our homes, so why not make each space within them feel a little bit more like, well, home? Making your house a place that reflects your tastes, speaks to your inner being, and makes you feel happier can be a challenge, but taking the time to do it can be well worth the effort in the end. Here are 20 interior design tips that will make your house what it was always meant to be: your happy home.

• Pay attention to lighting.

Use lighting to highlight areas you most want to see. Consider spotlighting a picture you love or creating a cozy reading nook with a dimming light.

• Use white.

White is refreshing and inviting. As it reflects light well, it can make your space feel brighter, which will do wonders to brighten your mood.

Consider new ways of displaying your favorite items, like hanging your favorite plates in unusual arrangements, so they become a point of visual interest.

• Use mirrors to elongate and brighten a space.

Mirrors do wonders to make a space feel larger and brighter. Try allowing light to reflect off them to create a brighter space.

• Be okay with a space that looks “lived in.”

If you’d like your family and visitors to feel comfortable in your home, allow them to be comfortable. This means that plastic on your couch is a no-no.

• Let in the sunlight.

Use natural light whenever possible, but take care when exposing fabrics or wood furniture to the elements. To properly care for your wood furniture, you’ll want to make sure that shade is available for times when the sun is high.

• Don’t just buy “the set.”

Furniture stores are always trying to get you to buy the set. Keep your house from looking like a sterile showroom by getting the pieces you need and really like, not the ones the store wants you to need and forces you to like.

• Bring the outdoors in.

Add greenery and planters, like the ones suggested by the Huffington Post, to improve air supply and de-stress your home.

• Choose colors that say how you want to feel when you’re at home.

If, for example, you want to feel calm, consider bringing in more blues, which are naturally calming.

• Invest in an organizational system.

You don’t have to buy the whole closet system, but when pieces have a place, they’re less likely to clutter up a space.

• Mix patterns and textures.

Velvet with Satin? Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box when it comes to putting fabrics together.

Try any or all of these 10 tips to create your own personal oasis. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and have fun with your interior design!

Fully Furnished Serviced Apartments

Lately there has been a rise in the number of fully furnished service apartments available in the Delhi NCR.  

Sophisticated, sleek and classy, these apartments are provided with all the amenities of luxurious living.  Curtains, carpets/ rugs, beds, sofa sets, dining tables, cabinets, wardrobes, bookshelves, television sets- name it and you can find it in these beautifully furnished dream homes.

While purchasing or taking these apartments on rent, the occupants need not worry at all about the bothers and hassles of shifting goods, setting up the house, putting the furniture in order and so on.  

Many real estate builders have even started the trend of consulting prospective buyers, who wish to own fully furnished apartments, regarding their tastes and preferences. 

Ever since international corporate giants have started setting up their offices in Indian metropolises, the popularity and demand of these homes has rapidly surged. 

Slightly on the expensive side, these apartments cater to young working professionals, foreigners working for international firms and the workers of international agencies posted in India for brief periods.

These apartments are regarded as a good investment for those willing to rent or lease them out.  Their rents are slightly on the steeper side since they are provided with all the comforts of a luxury hotel suite within a homely set-up and without the hotel’s exorbitant rates. 

Today's modern home architecture- Studio Apartments

Every big city in the world is known to have a particular cityscape, a definite skyline that is defined by its architecture. In India too, cities like Delhi and Mumbai have architectures that have become quintessential elements of the cities, inextricable from the city’s identity itself. 

At the same time, modern Indian architecture is continuously evolving, not just from the outside, but also from the inside; and not just in Delhi and Mumbai, but all over India’s many blossoming cities and towns.  

Whether in terms of eco-friendly homes with fresh air ventilation systems or single room apartments accommodating different rooms or fully furnished serviced apartments equipped with all modern amenities like cooking ranges, mixers, grinders and other appliances- modern Indian architecture has never looked this tempting.

Leading builders and realty developers in various urban hotspots are inventing all kinds of architectural styles to cater to contemporary sensibilities and their efforts are bearing fruit as more and more people are veering towards innovative housing.  

The changing architecture is also reflective of the changing family trends of Indian society.  Erstwhile large, joint families have given way to nuclear families, single-parent families and families comprising just a couple.  Under these circumstances, the burgeoning popularity of single room flats and fully furnished apartments is not at all surprising.

With paucity of space becoming a major issue in housing across Indian cities, better management and utilization of space has become a key feature of contemporary Indian architecture.  Gigantic, sprawling houses may never go out of fashion- yet- chic, plush and minimalistic interior designs set within limited spaces are quite the rage among urban city dwellers these days.
