Small Space Solutions

With more and more condos going up, living in a smaller environment has become the new normal. Here are a few ways to maximize the space to have to work with!

When choosing furniture for a small space it’s best to avoid oversized furniture as it can take up a lot of the floor space in the room. Try to incorporate a mix of small to medium-sized pieces.

If you have an open concept space, try to make it multipurpose. You can split the room up such as dining and relaxing. By using area rugs, you can show where one area stops and another begins.

Having a simple colour palette in a small space can help the room feel much larger as well. Using too many colours can make the room feel overwhelming and cluttered.

Finally, natural light can really help a small space feel larger as it brightens up the room and brings it to life.

Focal Points

When we design an interior, there is always the first thing that you see when you go into a room, whether it is a house or a condo. It is such an important thing, that you design the room around this item.

 Usually, it could be a piece of art, a mirror, a piece of furniture, an accent color, etc. 

It is an exercise that everybody should do before they even start their interior design decoration: go into a room and pay attention to the first area that your eyes go to. It could be a window, a wall.

One of the things you can do to emphasize the focal point in a room is to paint the focal point wall in a different color from the rest of the walls, you can choose a piece of furniture like a display unit, a curio cabinet, or a credenza with a mirror or a picture on top, you can choose a color on the furniture at the focal point, and the rest of it should be neutral shade. This way you create a statement, a conversational situation that everybody will talk about and it will help you organize the rest of the room.

Put A Little Spring In Your Room

Spring is a great season to edit, clean, and infuse your home with new vitality. The mood changes in the spring to light and airy.

Here are a few ways to update your home for spring.

• Accent chairs are an easy way to make a statement in a room. Try incorporating a pastel colour on an occasional chair with open sides for a light and airy look in the room. A sunny yellow fabric or tangerine orange will bring in that spring vibe

• Changing art on your walls to create a colourful abstract can add personality to your room.

• Buy flowering plants and treat yourself to a fresh bouquet will make your space refreshed for Spring and uplift your mood in the room.

Spring has sprung!

Now that Winter is finally behind us, it’s time for the beautiful warm weather that we all love.

Bringing the outdoors in has been and will continue to be one of the biggest trends this season. This could be as small as giving your walls a fresh coat of Sage Green paint or you can go big by bringing in tons of plants and flowers as well as some natural finishes like Bamboo or Rattan.

Let’s talk colour palettes! This season will be all about beautiful yellows, pinks, and greens which definitely screams SPRING. And these don’t just have to be paint colours; an accent chair or ottoman in a buttery yellow or pink can really help bring that Spring feeling into your space.

Up until recently, smooth finishes in the home were desired as it brought that clean and calm vibe. Now, we’re going to see a ton of texture whether it be in artwork, wallpaper, or fabrics.

If you’re looking for a refresh this season, try out one of these new trends and watch as your space comes alive!

Minimalism or Maximalism

We are finally starting to see the light at the end of the road, after more than a couple of years, or at least it looks like we are starting to see it. This affects everything we do in our lives. Renovating our home, always reflects what we are going through and how we are feeling about it. We have been spending time in our houses more than ever, and we experienced a situation that most of us never did before.

This has brought us to the point that more or less we all need a change of scenery. We all need to live in a place where we feel calm and comfortable, peaceful and beautiful. In the past, if you had a room full of furniture, very cluttered, it was a sign of wealth. Now, and after a lot of things happening in the World, we need to recalculate and think about how are we going to go on.

Although I truly believe that Minimalism is the way to go, somehow, we need to meet somewhere in the middle, because luckily, we are all different people. We find calmness and peace in different ways. We can still unclutter our rooms, by just getting the right amount of furniture, but we can mix it with patterns and colors that each of us prefers. So we still use minimalism but with some tips from Maximalism.
