I will be happy if I can help to take decisions easier. \r\nHow can we create a magic atmosphere? \r\nA 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. \r\n PHOTO1175 PHOTO1176 \r\nPHOTO1177 PHOTO1178 \r\n\r\n 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! \r\n\r\n \r\n PHOTO1179 PHOTO1181 \r\n\r\n 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. \r\n\r\n PHOTO1192 PHOTO1194 \r\nPHOTO1195 PHOTO1193 \r\n\r\n 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. \r\nHow many colors can a room tolerate? \r\nColors 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! \r\nOur “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. \r\n\r\n PHOTO1182 PHOTO1183 \r\n\r\n 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. \r\n\r\n PHOTO1184 PHOTO1185 \r\n\r\n 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. \r\nHow much organization do we need? \r\n\r\n PHOTO1186 PHOTO1187 \r\nPHOTO1188 PHOTO1189 \r\n\r\n 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. \r\n\r\n PHOTO1191 PHOTO1190 \r\nPHOTO1196 PHOTO1197 \r\n\r\n Do you like doing shopping just for fun? \r\nNot 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! \r\n\r\n PHOTO1198 PHOTO1199 \r\n\r\n Is it possible to mix patters? \r\nThe 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. \r\n\r\n PHOTO1200 PHOTO1201 \r\nPHOTO1202 PHOTO1203 \r\n\r\n 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. \r\nWho says that steel isn't cozy? \r\nIf 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. \r\n\r\n PHOTO1204 PHOTO1205 \r\n\r\n 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! \r\n\r\n PHOTO1206 PHOTO1207 \r\n\r\n 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! \r\nMix different objects and styles? \r\nTo 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!

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?
