Style ideas – part 2

 

As usual…. to see better “click” on the photos!

 

With the second part we’ll go on knowing other useful tricks to furnish your house. I will be happy if I can help to take decisions easier.

How can we create a magic atmosphere?

A very nice example is the hotel “Kranzbach” near Garmisch-Partenkirchen (in Germany) furnished by the famous interior designer Ilse Crawford. In the yellow living room there are some soft light big lamps that are suspended and together with the floor lamps create this magic special atmosphere.
How can we copy it?

 

Magico Magico

Magico Magico

 

In a room you should always have two levels of light: one that gives light to the whole room and the other one that illuminates all the corners to make you feel cuddled in different points. We all love sitting in the light, it's a little bit like to be in the sun! The areas with a special role needs a dedicated light. Think about worktops in the kitchen, the armchair where you read or the table where you eat. Light gives us life!

 

 

Magcio Magcio

 

Not only the choice of the lamp design is important, it is also the type of light bulbs: the yellow ones give us atmosphere and the white ones let us see better.

 

Accogliente Pratico

Pratico Accogliente

 

Think big! Who says that we should use only one lamp? If you fix some lamps at the ceiling, you will create a playing atmosphere. It looks better if you play with same or similar ones.

How many colors can a room tolerate?

Colors are the most quickly way to change the look of your house. Imagine one wall painted in lemon green with orange-red accessories: a vitamin cocktail!

Our “need” of color is very different because everybody has his own taste: somebody needs only a colored chair or one wall, others need an interior room full of color.

 

Colori soft Colori soft

 

Colors are “illusionist” and they can change our feelings. For example: in a complete red room we feel hotter, on the contrary a room painted in blue seems to us larger and colder.

 

Colori forti Colori forti

 

If you love mixing colors it's better to stay in the same intensity: mix strong colors with strong colors, pastel with pastel and natural colors with natural ones. Respect this or you will lose the balance between the colors. To give more light to the colors it's better to use complementary colors, for example: a violet sofa in front of a yellow wall, orange together with blue or green together with red.

How much organization do we need?

 

Ordine Ordine

Ordine Ordine

 

Organization doesn't mean cleaning up every five seconds! It's more important to have a proper space to keep your things in the right place. It's helpful to create little corners, like under the stairs, little room made of drywalls or baskets. It's not a good idea to have a lot of little furniture in the room or everything will seem a mess.

Do you like doing shopping just for fun?

Not a good idea! Buy only those things you fall in love with or you really need! I mean things that fit to the rest of your house. Look for special objects, furniture that makes the difference, that are your own style! It's not important which kind of shopping you do: if you buy dresses, objects or furniture... you have to feel them and they have to get you satisfaction!

 

Particolare Particolare

 

Is it possible to mix patters?

The answer is yes! But you have to know how to do it! Don't be afraid to try, the right mix brings fun in your house! What is important is that the patters have to make part of the same family, I mean flowers go well with flowers, squared patters with squared patters etc. Materials can be different.

 

Disegni diversi, perchè no? Disegni diversi, perchè no?

Disegni diversi, perchè no? Disegni diversi, perchè no?

 

If you don't want to risk, prepare all the things, that you want to use to decorate, on a table before putting them on the wall and find the right mix; when you are sure, fix them.

Who says that steel isn't cozy?

If we see a steel kitchen, our mind goes immediately to those professional kitchens like these ones you find in hospitals, but if you find the right mix, it will be the center-point of the family.

 

Metallo freddo? Metallo freddo?

 

Floor made of resin, empty walls may be decorated only with a big old watch like those ones you see at the train station, with a mix of details in wood, painted walls with blackboard color (see also: Back to school) where the whole family can write on, with different colored accessories. All these tricks will quickly warm up the room. You don't need so much, only some things but the right ones!

 

Metallo freddo? Metallo freddo?

 

It also costs less, if you choose a wooden table instead an expensive wooden floor; in this way your kitchen gets cozy even if you have steel furniture!

Mix different objects and styles?

To make you understand without useless explanations, I give you the address of the “Crosby Street Hotel” in New York. In this hotel you can find a mixture of so many styles but they all have one thing in common: color! The moss green, the rust orange and the violet create a sort of bridge between objects and furniture completely different, giving harmony and quietness.

Do you collect things and you love putting them in your living room?

 

Collezioni Collezioni

Collezioni Collezioni

 

Collections must have a frame! You shouldn't distribute them in your whole house without any logic! If they are big, it would be nice to place them on shelves, but put same colors and same sizes together! Little things should have a container of glass that fits to their size.

How important should be a painting in a room?

The most of the people choose the furniture first and paintings later. Why not trying the contrary? Take your favorite painting and then choose the wall colors and the cushions.

You can also create a mood board! Take all the things you love, like photos from magazines, pieces of fabrics, your personal photos and fix them on a pin-wall taking care that it looks nice like a real painting! You can change this mood board according to your mood, to the season or to your projects. It's always your personal creation!

How do you focus a furniture?

An old furniture can be painted in a very strong color and it can get magnificent! Attention: this furniture has to be beautiful right from the beginning! Colors can highlight its beauty but if it has any defeats, colors can highlight these ones as well.

If furniture or accessories have colors different from the walls, they get a main role in the room. For example imagine a black cupboard in front of a white wall...

If furniture, radiators or doors are ugly and you think that giving them a new color, different from your walls, they will get nicer, you are wrong! They will get even more evident! The solution is to paint them in the same color of your walls. Thanks to an optical trick they will vanish!

It remains only one thing to say: your style has to be authentic and has to reflect yourself! The golden rule is: buy less but good and original things because quality stays with you for a lot of years!

I hope that my ideas have been helpful for you and if you haven't read the first part, I hope you will do it!
