Decorating essentials # 3

Rugs are perfect for creating an elegant and sophisticated space. No matter what! And I’m all for that. Whether it is for colour, pattern or just a luxury texture, rugs are absolutely an essential for decorating your home!! Go for big patterns, play with rough and soft textures or add a contrasting complimentary colour to your interior it’s an easy trick to boost your interior.  Use them to determine obvious zones in an open living area. Use an oversized rug in a small room will visually make the room bigger. Why not try putting rugs in kitchens or bathrooms? They make a room more personalized and lived in.

Happy decorating:-)

Decorating essentials #2

Side tables –little bubbies I like to call them. They are so cool and wonderful and most people tend to not use them. Mercy me! But these little guys add a new interest and personality to a space. Beside a chair or sofa, plonk a lamp, a book or some vases with flowers and wham in niks seconds it lifts a space from drab to fab! Definitely my number two essential decorating trick in my book!

Making the coolest colourschemes ever!

Colour is wonderful!  And colour is the cheapest way to transform a room!  So finding a basis colour, weather it being dark or light, is greatly influenced by the natural light through existing windows and the flooring! Don’t forget that if there is great big bush of trees or even a building right outside your window it will reflect into your room. It all plays part in making a right decision for the right colour.

There really is no right or wrong colour here.  It’s all very personal and it’s very much trial and error.  So try painting three colours, on a big area, that you find agreeable at one time. No use putting 20 different shades of white on the wall otherwise it’ll be just so confusing for the eye that you’ll never find the one perfect colour that’s right for you. Live with them on the wall for a few days see how it looks at night with the lighting on and see how it is in the morning and afternoon light. I experience that one colour will stick out more than the others.

Trust your own gut feeling and go for it!!!

Library/office/guestroom and tv room.

I have been so lucky recently to able to help a couple with two children to decorate their home. A library/office/guest room and tv room for their children in the basement.  A comfortable sleeping sofa was high on their wishes because they have many overnighting visitors. Combined with the Zettel’z pendel lamp makes this I think a very cool library/office space.

In the basement a solid sofa plus little coffee table both from Hay were picked out to emphasize and exenterate the modern funkis style of the home.  Upstairs a new environmentally friendly rug made of bamboo was chosen under their Barcelona chairs to ground the whole sitting arrangement in their big open living area. And in the entrance way you’ll find the awesome Skygarden pendel lamp from Flos! WOW!

Spacious bathroom

New bathroom with three wishes; functional, elegant and with a wardrobe. My clients wanted a place to store their clothes away. And as it was, they had a cupboard standing in the way of the door as well as a window which was cutting off all the light into the rest of the bathroom! After drawing up the whole bathroom from scratch again the final result achieved was a more practical room and ample space freeing up the windows increasing the natural daylight. Some beautiful bronze mosaic tiles were used in the bottom of the shower and exclusive mosaic styled big tiles on the wall beside the bathtub. Beautiful.

‘Pip’ wallpaper

There is nothing more refreshing and positive using yellow in a combined guest/hobby room. Get those energy levels running on high!  I have just received some pictures from Elisabeth that was so lucky to win a competition of a few hours interior help from RoomDesign, through the used/recycling shop ‘DenGrønneBaljen’ (which is now closed unfortunately) here in Bergen.  Many ideas, tips and advice were discussed on how to furnish the guest room into a combined hobby room and some tips with colour and wallpaper for her bedroom.  See the results for yourself. I think it all turned out well don’t you think? And by the way for those who love  Helge Jordal, check out the last picture – Elisabeth has the most awesome picture of him in her entrance way!!! Thanks for sending the pictures,Elisabeth:-)

Teve hyllene

Teve Hylle fra Wiinberg i Danmark

Hei alle sammen,

Som avtalt sender jeg pris og litt info om Teve hyllene fra Wiinberg, Danmark.  Jeg følte meg veldig stolt av å kunne presentere Teve hyllen for aller første gang i Norge på Interiør&Bolig Messen i Grighallen siste helg.  Teve hyllene er laget av nydelig, solid utsøkt eik og hver enkelt hylle er håndlaget i en liten familiebedrift utenfor Kjøpenhavn hvor alle hyllene er laget med omhu og kjærlighet.  Dette er sjelden vare i dag.

Teve hyllene har utallige muligheter i bruk fra oppbevaring av bøker og magasiner, som nattbord, til utstilling av alt fra nips til blomster. Hyllene kan også  fungere utmerket som en romdeler. Mulighetene er mange, og det er ofte bare fantasien som setter grenser.

Da dette er første gang de er blitt presentert for det norske markedet, er de ikke tilgjengelig i butikkene ennå. Dersom det er noen som ønsker å kjøpe disse hyllene eller ønsker mer informasjon, kan dere ta kontakt med Heidi på epost  mail@wiinberg.eu  eller på telefon (+47 26242824). Wiinberg har også sin egen internettadresse(www.wiinberg.eu)

Vedlagt har jeg lagt ved dansk prisliste inkl. norsk mva. I tillegg kommer frakt på 1128,- dkr per adresse. Så jo mer du bestiller dess rimelige blir det.

Hilsen fra meg i RoomDesign

 

 For dem som ønsker priser, send meg email din så kan jeg gjerne sender dem til deg:-)

Last years winner!

Pictures from last year’s winner of ‘Win an interior consultant for one day’ A stairwell was the inspiration for the day. Many thoughts, ideas and tricks were given and the final result is you can see under. The stairs were originally in pine so it was time for facelift! The wallpaper is a very beautiful grey colour with delicate lighter grey branches running through it. It is slightly shiny on the surface to create a little reflection of light up the stairs. The actual stairs were painted in matching grey and the rest in glossy white. An Eames RAR rocking chair from Vitra plus a Gregg table/floor lampshade from Foscarini were placed under the stairs.  VERY NICE!

 

Thanks Monica for a brilliant day we had together!

See ya soon:-)
