 - A good option is to use mirrors, which have the ability to transform any space, at the same time helping to gain breadth by providing light. One possibility is to perform very original compositions with them, using models of various sizes in column or aligned. It's important that they be placed to a important height so that its reflection does not represent a nuisance. 

 

 - A trend that has gained much popularity is the use of protective covers for chairs, which give the place a fresh look. In addition to make use of holsters is more economical than headlinings chairs. It is important that you choose those of natural fabrics such as linen or cotton, but with a synthetic component that will make it easier maintenance.

 

 

 

There are some available that have buttons or tapes in the part of the back, a fact which makes them easier to fit the time that are more decorative. It is recommended that you opt for neutral tones, taking into account that these combined with all the colors and styles. 

 

 - A correct choice of furniture is key. If possible it is always a good idea to have a piece of furniture to store the crockery, since, in addition to its contribution to the decor are very useful for saving all the utensils that we need in the dining room. To keep everything neat and the upper part can be designed to store the containers and tableware, the drawers for the cutlery and the bottom for the tablecloths.

 

 

 

It is important that the cupboard is located at least 90 centimeters of the chairs, so that you can move them with ease. On the other hand you need to check the resistance of their shelves and the condition of the drawers in that way to avoid accidents, while if you want to renew your inner aspect, you can cover using wallpaper. 

 

 - It is also important that the dining room with a good lighting, for which can be very useful to use lamps suspended, because the same serve the dual purpose of enlightening and delimit the location of the table. It would be best if the bulge out table about 30 centimetres on each side in relation to the bulb. 

 

 

 

A good idea is to look for the contrast of forms, as for example by choosing a lamp oval that will soften the lines of a rectangular table. A good alternative are those traditional models, the spiders, which are manufactured from glass to enhance the aesthetics of the place

Japanese Style Dining Room Designs

Asian decorative trends continue their success in the Western world. Transparency, balance and harmony of decorative habits that come from Asia are increasingly admirers. A good example of this harmony of which we speak are Japanese homes eaters, very Zen-oriented and expressive minimalism, a trend that we can always adapt to our taste and style without losing an ounce of its essence.

They are very functional kitchens, where the table occupies an important place in the center of the room. One of the most important sights of this type of dining is that both the table and the chairs are low, at ground level. In Japanese homes is eaten in a circle, barefoot on the mat, a type of thin mat. Unaccustomed, it is normal that we look a little weird at first, eating as close to the ground. And, if we find it impossible, there are other models of Japanese style table slightly higher while maintaining their usual characteristics.

Generally are wood-eating, just decorated with some light (an extra in lighting), or center table (zen style also) or a decorative plant in a corner. The main magic of these proposals is the great harmony that emerges, and where the act of eating becomes almost a ritual. A very appropriate proposals for quiet meals, romantic dinners with friends, or those looking for simply a different style.

From traditional Japanese models, to more modern, in accordance with contemporary homes, these kitchens can be a good alternative to renew the style of our dining room.

Decorating in purple

 f you fancy joining me to latitudes more fresh -although believe me that here we are with the overcoats-, today we're going to Norway and more exactly to the Mikado suite of the Grand Hotel in Oslo, that if my lousy norwegian does not deceive me (ja, ja, i'm joking, is pure intuition) has been recently renovated by the signature Fargerike. At least it is on this website where I found the photos that you see here. A world of lilac, violet, eggplant, purple with touches of white, gold, but also accents in red and blue turquoise. Colors that in principle it seems that should not go together or in dreams (i am referring to the mixture of the first four), but with a overwhelming result. More info and photos, as always, the links of the end

Theatrical love decrotion

Theater. It is true. But the good ... Sergio and Jordi living in Valencia and seems to be that follow this blog (thanks, guys). His house i liked so i couldn't stop sharing with vosotr@s some photos. A fun decor, very studied, with numerous vintage pieces and great touch of sophistication. In the end, i love it. But perhaps it is better to be Sergio who count in first persona

 

We are fond of retro, as you can see in the photos of our house, in which we have recycled many furniture of family inheritance. As the dinner table that has more than a hundred years, or the cupboard of my grandparents that it is one of the 50, among other parts value.

we are finishing our bedroom, which lacks a dividing wall between the header and the dressing room that we have after this, in which we have devised a very retro role of damask on blacks and silvers, that is how things are going in the bedroom and supplemented by a great molding neoclasica

Dinings for 6/8 with mismatched sitting

Yesterday, while looking for ideas to help Miriam, reader and possible client, to choose a few chairs for your dining room, I realized that there is a formula that is often repeated in the canteens with rectangular tables, and that myself and without wanting to, I have applied in the area of the dining room of the house, putting two different chairs (or even armachairs) to the rest of seats, presiding over both headers. In our case, we decided (i decided, for which I'm going to tell lies ;)) that the tapizariamos all in the same way, but if you scratch, the risk is the wisdom. There is no more than to see the photos that i leave below, which by the way had already been already all published in the blog, in any of the 140 entries in the category "canteen". It is clear, 5 years gives a lot .... More info on the first photo

The perfect house (red and at Sao Paulo)

Today the house is perfect, apparently, of book. And I say this for all levels and technical explanations provided by the study of architecture Gil de Mello, architects of the draft reform of this house of 160 m2, the Vila Beatriz. A significant gradient of the land that compelled them to make wonders (i understand a wonder that vertical garden that surrounds one side of the house). An example of how to transform problems into virtues. And what can i say about the solarium with a view to Sao Paulo and intense and wonderful red color of the facade. Crazy in Love with this great kitchen-dining-sitting with access to the terrace. Everything in this house breathes joy, color, light. I pointed out the slogan: Mais love please.

The home of the beautiful cement tiles in Marrakesh

We got this Monday in August to the refreshing shade of white and spacious (well, high) stays on a house that is going into the top ten of the most beautiful hydraulic tiles that have been published in this blog (which also say striped wall the aisle). Well it is true that this time the merit of their owners, a couple of americans resident for years in the Moroccan city, is twofold, since they all belong to their own signature, Popham Design. The case is that this mixture of antique -many brought from France-, design pieces in the middle of the last century and few, but well-selected decorative objects -wow, the juju hat red of the 3rd photo ... -, bathed in white and a full range of blue are the most tempting
