Try Triangles.

Every schoolkid knows that a triangle has three sides and that the ancient Greeks were obsessed with their mysterious properties. You don’t find many triangular rooms to test your interior decorating skills. However, triangles, which offer a strong structural shape, are often used by civil engineers with bridges, balconies and balustrades. If your home has any of these elements it is a likely a triangle will have been used. If so, reflect this with the design of the nearby spaces.

Tessellating Tiling.

Tiling tends to be sold in a geometric form, either a rectangle or a square, but there’s no need to stick to a regular pattern to get the geometrically inspired look. Use a combination of squares and rectangles to prevent your tessellating patterns becoming too dull. Likewise, find floor tiles with a visual motif that cuts across the pattern made by the tiles themselves. Tiling offers the perfect opportunity to create an orderly look whilst still doing something novel with their usual appearance.

Hexagonal Heaven.

Like squares and rectangles, the honeycomb look of a hexagon covers surfaces very effectively because it natural tessellates. The look of a group of hexagons works particularly well with carpet which must twist and turn around awkward shapes where, for instance, stripes would not be suitable. It is equally at home when used as a vinyl floor covering in a kitchen or a bathroom. And, for a more engaging approach, try it as a feature wall covering. This is ideal for a dining room, especially if you use hexagonal plates or place mats, too.

Zig Zags.

Diagonals don’t always work well in interior designs, particularly if the room is smaller, as it can create the effect of everything being out of kilter. A better approach to take is to use zig zags instead so that the look is more balanced. Zig zagged flooring won’t make your room look too small and is relatively easy to put in place. Chevrons are also well worth considering for a bedroom wall covering. Wallpaper tends to suit zig zag designs and it is the perfect thing to use in a teenagers bedroom.

Exceptional Exteriors.

Don’t neglect your home’s exterior when it comes to geometry. Natural looking gardens are given a lift by a geometric feature. Try to blend natural curves with some hard and fast lines to get the best effect.

The post How To Incorporate Geometric Designs Into Your Home appeared first on Home Decorating Trends.

The property is built in solid stone and it has that old, rustic look that situates it in a different era. But once you step inside, everything changes. The apartment has been completely renovated. So while the exterior still has most of its original charm, the interior is wonderful in a completely different way.

Of course, not everything is new and modern. The stone walls and the beamed ceilings still allows us to envision how this place might have looked like in its original state. The stone walls have been painted white in order to keep up with the modern décor and to provide a nice background for all the other beautiful features.

The rooms are quite small but this only makes them cozy and welcoming. The exposed beams on the white ceilings further emphasize this feeling. The furniture is simple and has modern characteristics. I particularly like the small dining area with that round area rug that complements the classical black chairs so beautifully and emphasized their elegant silhouette.

You can also see that the space has been creatively used. Take a look, for example, at this series of wooden shelves that go all the way up and become smaller and smaller as they follow the shape of the ceiling. The kitchen has a creative design as well. It’s very simple and mostly suitable for someone who prefers eating out rather than spending much time here. Still, it’s equipped with all the necessary appliances.{found on desiretoinspire}.

Glass Bowl.

Let’s start with something very simple. All you need is a glass bowl. Just put all your nail polish inside the bowl and mix them up nicely. They won’t stay upright but this is a solution you choose more for the looks. Display the bowl on your dresser or somewhere else and you’ll also have a nice and colorful focal point.{found on likeadime}.

Wood rack.

If you prefer something a little more organized, you could try finding a shelf or two. These ones are perfect because they are small and perfect for storing nail polish. If you’re not happy with the color, you can spray paint them and give them a more cheerful look.{found on site thismomsgonnasnap}.

Tiny wall shelf.

These tiny shelves are also nice. Open shelves are a little less secure and safe so it is possible for you to accidentally cause your nail polish to drop and break. Still, it’s a nice way in which you can display it. If you have a large collection, organize it according to color or dimensions.{found on reksblogja}.

Box craft.

If you’d rather save space, a show box would work as well. In this case, it’s not the box that interests us but those tiny labels. You can paint small white labels with each color of nail polish and stick them to the tops of the bottles. This way you’ll always know which you to grab.{found on thebeautydepartment}.

Rolls.

Here’s another unusual way in which you can store your nail polish: in rolls. These rolls are made from faux leather and they come in a variety of colors so you can also personalize them as you want. Each roll fits 14 nail polishes. If you have more than 14 then you can organize them by color and use multiple rolls.{found on bubblegarm}.

Another glass vase.

What’s most important when storing nail polish is to be able to see the colors so you don’t have to take them one by one until you find the one you actually need. So a glass container would be a nice idea. Choose one with an interesting shape so it can also become a decoration.{found on site}.

Cupcakes storage.

You know how beautiful cupcakes look like when they’re organized on those round display things with multiple levels? Why not use one for your nail polish as well? It’s a nice idea for large collections but, of course, the size may vary.

Old tiny suitcase.

Here’s another lovely idea: if you have or if you can find a cute little suitcase, it would be perfect for storing nail polish. It will look very professional and it will also have a nice vintage look. It’s actually very charming.

Wall display.

For an extensive collection of nail polish, such shelves would be great. It’s a great way for you to be proud of your collection by displaying it and you also get to easily find the shade you want since you can see them all so clearly.{found on sabrinas}.

Plexiglass rack.

This transparent rack is also great. Mount it on a wall and it won’t change anything cause of its lack of color. Then just store your nail polish there and enjoy being able to see it clearly and to be able to easily find what you need.{found on site}.

Drawer organizer.

If you want, you could also store your nail polish in a drawer. We’re not talking about just throwing it all there but about actually having a well-organized system. Use boxes to delimitate compartments and to crate storage spaces for all sorts of other accessories.{found on flickr}.

Spice rack.

This type of rack is also nice. It’s made of metal so it’s durable and it will serve you for a long time. Also, you can paint it if you want. It doesn’t fit many nail polishes but it’s enough space for most people that normally have around 10 colors or so.

Lego nail polish rack.

If you really want to be creative and original, explore your playful side and make a nice storage system out of Lego pieces. You can create compartments with the dimensions that you choose and you can also use the colors that you want. It’s an option that gives you plenty of freedom.{found on ritalabella}.

Sunken bathtub.

A sunken tub will instantly give your bathroom that five star treatment it deserves. You cannot deny how glamorous and luxurious this type of bath looks. And nothing emulates the spa feeling better than slowly stepping down the steps into warm and soothing water. Sheer bliss!

Television.

Who wouldn’t want to soak in the tub and watch their favourite TV show after a hard day at work? Entertainment and relaxation; the perfect blend. What’s more, there will be no more arguments about what to watch in the family room, you’ll be more than happy to leave the men to their football whilst you watch the soaps surrounded by bubbles.

Neutral colours.

It can be very tempting to go for bright colours as they are stimulating and energetic, meaning that you are instantly drawn to them. Nevertheless, when you are in the bathroom you want to relax, and thus neutral colours are by far the best option.

Infinity mirror.

Mirrors present you with the perfect opportunity to add style and personality to your bathroom, yet so many people fail to take advantage of this. If you are guilty of owning a plain rectangular mirror, then upgrade to an infinity mirror. This is the ideal accessory for creating a spa experience. The never-ending illusion is mind-blowing, and what’s more is that these mirrors are great for those looking to make their bathroom appear bigger than it is.

Candles.

Simple? Yes. Cliched? Probably. Effective? Most definitely. Placing candles around your bathroom may seem like an obvious solution, yet so many people do this because it is extremely relaxing. Not only this, but this is a cost effective way of beginning the transformation from a standard bathroom to a spa worthy one. Just be mindful when lighting them and don’t forget to go for a gorgeous scent.

The design of the Park Lane house focuses on functionality more than on anything else. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the aesthetic part has been ignored completely. The balance is very nice between these two concepts. Overall, the design is simple and smart. Nothing is there for no reason. The materials were chosen for their texture and durability. They are meant to emphasize the forms of the interior and to support the elements chosen.

Architecturally speaking, the Park Lane house doesn’t impress much. It’s simple and modern and it actually looks quite austere featuring clean lines and simple forms. It integrates well in this urban area and in the neighborhood. At the end of the house there’s a big and beautiful eucalypt tree that beautifully complements the architecture and everything else.

It has an architectural form which allows it to perfectly integrate in this space. The interior design of the house is also simple but it’s also inviting and comfortable. The textures are carefully chosen to create a welcoming atmosphere and the colors are warm and elegant.{found on archdaily}.

Monday.

Today is the day to tackle the counters and the floors. Monday’s are hectic and no one wants to get things done. But these are lighter chores that still get something marked off the list. Wipe down all your surfaces real quick. The kitchen, living room, bedroom, office – this can be done incredibly fast. Then get your floors done too, sweep, mop and dust!

Tuesday.

Quick pickup is today’s motto. Go around to every room and pick up the excess. Take out the trash and clean up any clutter in your way. Put the toys in the toy box and the books on the shelf. Fold up any unraveled blankets and create an organized feel.

Wednesday.

Get your laundry going. It’s the middle of the week and once Thursday hits you’ll want to get ready for the weekend. So, get your whites and favorite pair of jeans done today! Of course you can do light loads in your downtime around the week, but today is the day to really make a dent in the workload.

Thursday.

Unfortunately, before the weekend hits, it’s time to do some bathroom clean up. Get out the toilet brushes and the Lysol because you need to deep clean those powder rooms! These are high traffic areas and although it’s good to do daily wipe downs, Thursday’s is our pick to really get them shining.

Friday.

Friday is great for any rearranging or reorganizing. It’s also a great day to home projects like painting or fixing. And if you don’t have anything to do, get a head start on Saturday for more weekend time off!

Saturday.

Today is for all the quick chores. Windex the mirrors and the windows and dust anything that looks like it needs a quick pick me up. This is also the perfect day to get the outside work done. Clean the gutters, cut the grass, pull the weeds, power wash the siding – you have extra time use it wisely before your Saturday night date!

Sunday.

Just like the bathroom, the kitchen needs some deep cleaning too. And Sunday is the day to do it! While you’re planning the weekly meals, scrub the sink and make sure all your appliances and ready for the days ahead. It’s also a great day to go through all the food in the fridge and throw out anything that isn’t any good anymore.

The post Keeping The House Clean Every Week: A Schedule appeared first on Home Decorating Trends.

It was clear from the start that the landscape was not something you could ignore. We’re not talking about unwanted slopes or other such difficulties but about the fact that the landscape was charming and had to be preserved as much as possible. As a result, solutions had to be found. A basement was built and this forced the ground floor to be positioned into the slope.

The first floor is perched on the ground floor and it overlooks the landscape. To emphasize the connection between the interior and exterior spaces and to also introduce the landscape into the interior décor, the north and south-facing facades are made mostly out of glass.

The other two sides are more closed in order to offer privacy to the inhabitants. They are made of colored timber. The glass facades feature large sliding doors that can be opened and this way the whole room opens onto the exterior. Another element that emphasizes the indoor-outdoor connection is also the patio situated in the heart of the residence. It introduced natural light in all the rooms and it’s a very fresh and beautiful space.

Smartphone holder.

Let’s start with something simple: a holder for your charging cell phone. So say good bye to charging phones seating on the floor or on tables and say hello to this great solution for the problem. To make a similar holder you’ll first have to take a look around your house. Find a plastic lotion/shampoo bottle or something similar, empty it and clean it. Measure the cell phone against it and decide on the dimensions. Trace a line and then cut using scissors. Smooth out the edges with sand paper. Then you can either spray paint the holder or glue fabric onto its exterior.{found on makeit}.

Organize cords with toilet paper tubes.

Everyone has cables siting around in the house and making it look messy. So how about you come up with a clever storage system for them? You can use toilet paper rolls.

Magnetic rack.

I don’t know about you but I’m always having trouble finding my tweezers and other small items. Don’t leave them all over the house. It would be much more useful to have a spot where you can easily store them in case you ever need to find them. A great idea would be to have a magnetic support. A knife rack would be perfect. You can install it in the bathroom and you can put it to good use.{found on darkroomanddearly}.

Clip cable catcher.

Here’s another simple and clever idea: don’t leave your chargers or USB cables on the floor to look messy. Keep them nearby and close at hand in case you need them. You can easily do that with binder clips. Clamp a binder clip to the edge of your desk and your problem is solved. It’s great how such basic items can simplify your life.{found on familyhandyman}.

Brush organizer.

Are you having trouble storing your makeup brushes in one place? How about a brush holder? You can make one using nothing but a sushi mat and an elastic. First wrap the elastic around the first couple of sticks and secure it with some stitches. Then start to weave the elastic around the sticks making holders of different dimensions for the brushes. At the end make some stitches to secure it and you’re done. Tie it with a ribbon to make it look pretty and enjoy being organized.{found on site}.

Ribbon basket storage.

If you’re the type that loves DIY projects then you probably have ribbons and other similar things all over the place. Put them all in a box.

Stick the rod through a hole and thread the ribbons on. Stick the rod through the other end and pull the ribbons through the holes.{found on minimozblog}.

Pencils..storage.

It’s important to have an organized work space but you should also personalize it. For example, you could make storage containers for your pencils, ribbon, etc. you’ll need a small ceramic or metal tray, drinking glasses, scrapbook paper, scrap ribbon, modpodge, a brush, a glue stick, scissors and a ruler. First cut a piece of scrapbook paper for the bottom of the tray. Print out words to use as labels, glue them to scrapbook paper and then cut them out. Glue the ribbon in place and then glue the labels on.{found on myblessedlife}.

Label.

A very organized person would want the bathroom storage to be impeccable and to have labels for everything. You could solve the problem with some simple storage containers and you can decorate and label them with felt words which can be glued on. It’s very creative.{found on kristenmcashan}.

From dish rack to…

Lots of things can be repurposed if you’re creative. For example, this dish rack became a shipping station. It’s very functional and the project was extremely simple. In fact, you don’t have to change anything. Just place the dish rack in the desired place and fill it with your own things that you plan on using.{found on livelaughrowe}.

Hanging organizer.

The post 10 Amazing DIY Organization Systems appeared first on Home Decorating Trends.

You don’t need to emulate a specific time period in order to effectively work this trend in your home. The blend between authentic, rustic tradition and gold, luxurious, over-the-top adornments, seems to have had a place throughout all time periods.

Finish this off with warm, rich and royal colours, and you’ll capture the taste for the conventional and lavish England. However, if you are looking for specific inspiration then casting your mind to the Tudor period is assured to start your creative flow.

In fact, this is an era that coincided with the Renaissance period, and this offers huge scope in the form of art and adornments. There are some fantastic portraits created by well-known artists of the time, with the Mona Lisa being one of the most famous masterpieces of this period. If you truly want to capture the historic feel in your home then you should definitely take a look online for wall art from the Renaissance era.

There is nothing better than a portrait to show depth of emotion, story, and feeling. One carefully selected piece can completely transform your room and inject that history you are looking for.

And finally, this post would not be complete without mentioning the utilisation of wood. Embrace deep  and inviting shades of this material. Wood is used to dramatic effect because not only does it literally add warmth to the room in which it is placed, but the dark shades create an air of mystery, intrigue, and depth. Paneling is the most effective way to use wood when taking a trip back in time.
