Deep brown walls envelop this study in coziness. Golden wood finishes, a throw splashed with copper, and a bronze side table blend forest-harvested hues and textures. White woodwork, an upholstered chair, and a cowhide rug pop against the room's dark surfaces, and yellowish-green foliage and flowers give the room a refreshing lift.

Bedroom styles are so different and reflect so many different personalities. Here we focus on that countryside, classy yet casual style also known as Shabby Chic, and what better item than the wrought bed to represent it in your bedroom! Its simplicity can be adorned with little details, colorful fabrics, or warm details. The older and worn-out look, the better. Dig one out of your grandmother’s basement and follow these inspirational ideas!

While the minimalist movement is still going strong with white-washed homes in monochrome tones; it's not a look that is always practical or desirable, particularly if you have kids or simply love color!

Colors have long been thought to have an effect on our mood, so selecting the right shades for your home is not only a style choice, but a choice that can directly influence your health and outlook. Over the last few years we've seen an increased desire to find ways to draw the outdoors into our homes, and one simple way to achieve this is through color.

Mid-century modern home decor originated in America in the twentieth century. It was heavily influenced by the German Bauhaus design and architecture school of the early twentieth century, which emphasized clean lines, functionality, and a futuristic look.

Many German designers emigrated to America following World War II, bringing new and modern design ideas with them. Starting in the mid to late 1950s, the retro-futuristic design became widespread in American design. Mass production made it possible for furniture to be made in large quantities out of a wide variety of materials in a bevy of different colors.

Designers including Charles and Ray Eames, Herman Miller, George Nelson, Arne Jacobsen, Isamu Noguchi, Cara Greenberg, and Eero Saarinen became famous for their decorative works during this era. The style remained popular throughout the 1960s and 1970s, until the 1980s when design philosophies like the Memphis design school came into fashion.

Different Types of Walk-in Closet Layouts



First of all, let us talk about common designs and layouts in the walk-in world. Depending on individual needs, walk-ins can come in various designs. Some of them, however, are more common than others:

Single-Sided Walk-In Closet: An extension of reach-in, this is the smallest and of all and is a pretty common design.The storage is placed on the opposite wall of the entrance and there’s clearance space for access.
Double-Sided Walk-in Closet: For this design, storage units are placed on the opposing walls as you enter the closet, with a clear pathway down the middle. Small to medium in size.
Island Walk-In Closet: Basically a double-sided walk-in closet with an island in the middle. Storage can be housed on all three walls or one side can be reserved as a dresser unit. They do require a lot of space and can be classed into luxury products.
Wrap Around Walk-In Closet: This design maximizes the storage space available, with storage units placed on all three walls. Medium to large in size.
