Design is like art.

Design is more than decorations. Design is like art.

Interior Design and decorations for your home is heading for new height.
It’s not just how you look and present yourself in life.
Your home is a mirror of you and how you want things to be in your home and around you. Maybe you prefer it strict, with a lot of colors or maybe everything in white. Decorating your home is getting more and more exciting, with new stores and designers exploding into the market right now.

But this is only the beginning of it.

Design is future; design shows love in the product. Design is art.
Art is expensive design, but you have to think about when a designer makes his idea from the sketches on paper to be sold in stores, he make a decision. Does he want everyone to have his designer chair in their homes, or does he want it to be a special piece that’s limited, a piece of art that you can only find at a few selected places?
If he wants the product to be found in every interior design store over the globe, the price will be cheaper as the fabrications of the product are made in so many samples. Or if the product is made in a small, limited collection, the price will be higher.

The Scandinavian design is very popular now; the strict lines and products are not always what they look like.
Other countries that are going for more daring designs are, for example, designers in Great Britain.

The designer team Living Vitamin from Great Britain shows us that there are products that are not always what they look like at first sight. Vitamin Living has designed a daring one of a kind pot for the plant in your home or office called I.V Plant. The drip feed provides a striking design focus as well as acting as a reminder to its owner as to when it needs topping up.

In Argentina, they are also reaching the light of design.



Take, for example the Placentero Chair designed by the young Argentine designer Batti. It is a so beautiful and peaceful in your home that it looks more like a sculpture then an actual chair, but is it comfortable?
I would like to say it is like sitting in something that not only makes you look very special but also feels very relaxed. Batti and his team had performed an investigation about the experiences we as a human beings have before birth.
This took them to meet some techniques of recreation of the natural situation inside the mother’s womb.
Fall and winter steer us to white and bright rooms with the beautiful touches of colors that fall and winter present: dark colors like fully-red wine or dark-brown lilac color and apple-green combined with round, soft forms on the furniture. Imagine all the leaves that fall of the trees when the frost is reaching closer to us; place those leaves on a white paper and there you have your perfect scale over colors that are so right this coming fall and winter.

Change with the future.


Change with the future. Change colors or small pieces in your home often. Every year your life is different and something changes, so its important to let your home interior design change with you.

10 Steps to Find the perfect Furniture.

To find the furniture of your choice you need to think about many things as it is easy to find good looking furniture but do they really fit and do they really represent you in your home

We have all found things that seems perfect in the store but when unwrapping it in your home you fund out that it really is not that good

1. Think before you buy.

This step actually consists of many small steps that we all should think of before we buy any designed furniture or interior item for our home.

2. Think of the area where you will place the furniture. Try to simulate how the furniture would look in that environment

3. Now step back, you have now focused on the furniture but try to focus on the entire room. You do not want to place furniture that fit in that spot but not in the room. This is very important and a very common mistake.

You need to think of it environment that surrounds that furniture to make it perfect.

4. Color. The color of your furniture us very important. And again you need to think of more then just this particular furniture.

The rooms color. Every room has a color it is created by the light from the windows reflected on the leave on the flowers. The existing furniture in the room, the book and even the height of the sealing in the room.

So Findus the color of your room and either use that color for the furniture of your choice or use a color that complement in a good way using a color chart.

5. Light is important either you want more light or less but you need to decide in watt what you want to go.

6. Material of the furniture is vey important. If you enter a room with many different choices of wood you will get feeling floor confusion and mixed expressers so look at the furniture and find the ones you like and look into what materials they are made of and keep consistent with your choice and don't mix too much.

7. Furniture size is important as you actually can make a room look more spacious with large furniture then a small one in some cases.

For example a large rug can make the floor more spacious as it plays a trick on your mind.

8. Light sources can make the furniture blend in or make them stand out. Use light that is selected for the particular setting as there is light for different settings giving different colored light as it gives more blue, more red or more white it gives a totally different feeling

9. Move around. It is easy to fixed on one solution and as you add more furniture the old furnishing might not bee as good as it was so do think about what you can do with your room.

10. Find you’re self. Don't look too much at what other does and what they write in magazines as what's important is that it's your home and be proud of it.
