Leather Rocker Recliner
Thursday, October 20th, 2011
The living room is probably the most favorite place of many people in their house as it is where they could relax and bond with their families or entertain and chat with friends and guests. The living room is, of course, not a living room without a comfortable seat like the sofa and recliner.
Design is about practicalities and aesthetics- neither one nor the other, but both. If you want to update the look of your living room, a leather rocker recliner is a great addition as it adds warmth and the leather texture with swivel glider recliner styles speak modern in more ways than one. This is also ideal for a sleek space that is casually classy and perfect for small spaces. Your living room instantly becomes warm and evokes of an inviting atmosphere. Positively redolent with charm, any room in your house will illustrate low-key opulence with the addition of a leather rocker recliner set in the right space with other furniture pieces to accentuate the look of your house. Your living room and any other rooms in your house should always be comfortable and if your recliner is anything, it’s comfortable and elegant. A good piece is never for display only, but to sit in, touch, use, and relax.

Update your Home Accents and Design
Sunday, November 28th, 2010
Modern contemporary home design, like comfort and beauty, does not always come in expected and recognizable forms. Scale, rhythm, and proportions are often realized in startling forms. The look of modern contemporary style has smooth and unbroken linear appeal. To foster this, fabrics are usually solid shades or quiet tone-on-tones that are softly textured. To delineate areas for dining, entry or sleeping, rugs are placed to also add a grand touch of art on the floor.
The texture of accents is important to prevent monotony in the modern contemporary home style and so are occasional accent colors in the living room to make an interesting focal point. The textures are supple and sumptuous. If you have a good eye, you can update your home accents and design and add a classy carpeting that takes on radiance from shining mirrors in your modern contemporary conversation area.

Entertainment Center
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Every home has a TV. I guess it’s one of the things that we think of putting in the house for our enjoyment. If it’s not the TV that’s always used it’s the radio or sound system which helps us relax while we are on the bed or on the couch. Most of us would also want the whole home theater system that would really make watching movies an enjoyable experience. The only problem now is where to put the system. The TV and home theater system can be put on an entertainment center. Some of the entertainment centers are designed to fit in the home theater system of have separate towers for the speaker system and also act as a shelf for other things like decorations or discs. Others are designed with their own shelves where lots of other things can be stored. Others are like cabinets so that the speaker system is hidden and are opened only when needed. The entertainment center can save space at home and also would improve the looks of the gaming room or bedroom.

Do not overcrowd your room!
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
When we think about a spacious room we imagine a cosy and comfortable apartment where there is a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere where everything is on its right place. A definite attribute of any modern apartment is a stylish furniture article or even more of them that can be bought at New Jersey furniture store. The greatest advantage of furniture from such a store is that it is trendy, designer furniture that can fit any room and will look natural there.
Any NJ modern bedroom is unthinkable without proper lightning, like modern lamps in New York or classic chandeliers. All this makes an apartment a comfortable place to live in and to be glad to return to it after a hard working day. The idea is to leave as much free space in your room as possible – do not overcrowd your apartment with tables, wardrobes, sofas, coffee-tables and so on. Living room should be spacious and pleasant to rest.

Living the High Life
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
You can still create a chic home in your high-rise. Here are a few style-savvy apartment ideas.
1. Treat your furniture like art objects. Bold, unusual furniture, whether they are designer pieces or vintage finds, are great accents in small apartments.
2. Try a neutral palette with dramatic touches of color. Make your apartment unit more spacious-looking with a neutral palette. Add small punches of color like plum, yellow and poppy-red in your accessories.
3. Go for deep sleep with a deep color. A monochromatic evening blue in the bedroom creates a soothing, sophisticated look that’s just right for rest and sleep.
4. Decorate with vignettes. Add personal style to your apartment by fixing up small vignettes for each nook, area and corner. Arrange lamps, vases, books and travel finds of different colors, textures and heights on tabletops and shelves to create a story.

Loving Your Art
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
Live in harmony with your art pieces by taking care of them. Here are some tips:
1. Keep your art pieces away from direct sunlight.
2. Open up your windows and keep your art pieces in room temperature. In our tropical country, unless you have a 24-hour dehumidifier, it’s better to keep your windows open. Let your art pieces go with the temperature of the room instead of turning on the air-conditioner then turning it off. Instead, let the temperature go up and down.
3. Occasionally dust off your art pieces. Dust them lightly using a soft-bristled brush. Remember, you’re just taking the dust off the surface.
4. Keep hands off the painting. This would prevent the natural oil of your hand from sticking unto the art piece.
5. On storing art pieces, place them on a rack where the surface of the painting isn’t much touching much another thing.
6. Do not seal off paintings in plastic wraps. The humidity would get trapped inside. Remember that paintings need to breathe. Instead, use non-woven fabrics because painting can still breathe.

THE BAUHAUS ∞ Modernism Design Movement
Friday, September 11th, 2009
In the 1920’s a school of architecture and design emerged in Weimar and later in Dessau, Germany called Bauhaus or literally, “House of Building”. The school’s focus was on defining design for an emerging lifestyle dictated by social changes during the early 20th century such as liberalism, radical experimentation in the arts, and the abolition of censorship. The movement gained much prominence in Europe, specifically Germany, where one of its founders Walter Gropius dictated that art and architecture should have no distinction between form and function, thus literally transforming the architecture world into a style that is universal. Through Bauhaus, the International Style later emerged through its simple, clean lines, absence of ornamentation, and harmony between the function of an object or a building and its design.
