Comfy Chair Cushioned with Built-In Storage

Is this the lost-and-found paradise? A unique and comfortable chair plans to be your perfect companion during your lounging activity. Although seen as a traditional enemy to keeping your keys, money, pens and other small objects safe, this one cushioned chair will impress you from the very moment you lay your eyes on it. The design is genius! Mimicking the process of a normal pin cushion, Daisuke Motogi Architecture took the entire world by surprise when it applied the same principle to a chair. The clever piece of furniture is made from pixel-like pads that cover its whole surface. And it does so with the most care for comfort possible! Both inside the chair and outside it, slots are formed between the pads that will act like holders for almost any type of object that you will likely have in this sort of environment (books, remotes, drinks). It might be a bit tricky to clean it, but the Lost & Found Comfortable Chair will definitely be a blessing for your home. A perfect addition to the interior design and a useful holder for all of your stuff!

Tiny Floating Home

This small floating boathouse, was turned Karen Jenkins and her husband into a nice and cozy home, a place where a family of five enjoys full comfort. The house is almost 50 years old, and when they found it, it was in a bad shape. They bought it, and started searching for ideas of how to design this 220 square feet interior. One of the most challenging things was that the size of a boathouse is restricted to only one-story and they could not use up any more lake space. So after a thorough search, the family decided to make a loft out of the house, to make it look bigger. In order to make the house look like it has a lot of space they installed window dormers so they went up four feet and put in some windows. They also used the 4 foot porch. Some of the studs were damaged by water and thus they had to replace it and had to redo the pluming and electricity. Water and electricity are supplied by the marina and the family chose to use an incinerator toilet. This house is a great example of how to make a tiny space look both big and cozy. It is ideal for a family and also takes you closer to nature.

Log Cabin Interiors Design Ideas

The country house.To be far away from the noise and the bustle of the town, we opt for a house at the outskirts or for one placed in a rural area. The country house represents, for many persons, a vacation or weekend home, where they choose to spend the warmest days of the summertime.

The comfort is essential to have a successful vacation, and it is because of this reason why some people avoid spending their time at countryside. The rural houses are endowed with ventilated and spacious rooms, but, because of their rural style, some of them seem being deprived of comfort.

Still, an old rural house can also be stylish and elegant, and, at the same time, can provide the same comfort as an urban house. You can give a new ‘look’ to your house by using old, traditional objects, found on site or by changing radically the rural aspect of the house, by using modern decorative objects.

But a house placed in the heart of the nature requests to be adorned with as many natural things as possible. Therefore, the specific chromatic palette of such a decoration is made up of pale shades, while the furniture is made of wood, its too many ornaments being left aside. Both the ceiling and the floor have a massive wood based structure which, if there are not deteriorated, it is not advisable for you to replace them.

The ceiling and the floor – generally, in old houses, both the ceiling and the floor are of massive wood, painted in natural colors which we suggest you to leave them as they are (maybe just to restore them, in case they are deteriorated).

The walls – as a rule, they are commonly white. They can be improved by using natural or decorative stones – a new material keeping the same rustic shade, or they can be painted in retro colors, as green, orange, brown, mustard yellow, purple, dark pink, turquoise, blue, combinations of black, white and red; all of them are suitable for a retro-styled house.

The windows dispose of frames made of wood, often painted in white. Not even here can you make great changes, taking into account the fact that the windows doesn’t fit the overall architectural style of the house. But you can give some color to the wood frames choosing a shade in accord to the ones of the curtains and the drapes. On the other hand, most of the changes could vise the furniture and the decorations of the rooms. The extant furniture could be restored or replaced with one of the ‘classical furniture’ category. Made of massive wood, this will contrast the floor and the ceiling, and the final outcome is both impressive and elegant.

As each detail matters when it comes to interior decorations, don’t forget the object dedicated to this purpose only. The decorative pillows may give a vintage aspect if you use a thick material, of a sac; the lightening objects made of wire and covered with textiles can be easily integrated in the setting, while some vases for flowers made of small sticks will enliven the room. In order to create a transition between the interior and the exterior, you can also fit out a terrace or a verandah. Also, to gain space, transform the loft of the house in a guests’ room, a children’s room, a bedroom or a relaxation area.

What Do The Designers Recommend To Us?

What do the designers recommend to us?We all want an abode whose decoration to bear a renown designer’s signature, even though this thing generally means a considerable budget. Notwithstanding we can convert our dreams into reality offering to the house that style an elegance that are specific to the greatest interior design houses only, and we can do that by the aid of the simplest, least sophisticated pieces of furniture that could otherwise have great impact in terms of decorative accents.Clear lines, the combination of colors and the individual accents will mark the arrangement style, while acquiring expensive pieces of furniture or precious materials could be reduced to minimum.Those young persons who choose arrange their house in a more elegant way, opt for simple forms and sometimes to much color. A sofa, a shelf or a library represents the ‘highlight’ of the room. They may be acquired from a famous brand’s workshop. In other words, the costs will be high as well. The budget could be more balanced by reducing the expanditure on decorations.

A pleasant ambiance is offered by the aspect of the walls too. Light shades as cream, grey and white are highly recommended. A smaller room will seem larger if using such shades. Still, at the same time, the house risks to seem monotonous. To avoid this, a wall can be painted in vivid violet, blue or green. Besides, these cold colors give the impression of ampleness. The patterned wallpaper is another fashionable accessory. But we have to take care to avoid using it in smaller houses or rooms, since they create the sensation of cramped and loaded space. Those tattoos specially created for decorating the walls are also very appreciate by youngsters. These one can represent an abstract drawing or a certain message made up of words or images.If we want to give to our house a more sophisticated and futurist look, the designers recommend to us the simple, clear forms, the finished surfaces and the black-and-white furniture. To these elements, they also add other materials, as glass and iron. In the case of armchairs or in that of sofas, one’s fantasy knows no limits, therefore any spots of color are allowed.

Their owners, a young couple open to everything new and modern-minded, wanted a house of different tendencies, being warm and hospitable at the same time..The modern-furnished interior, that fits the present tendencies, the black-and-white chromatic, the attention paid to details and the ideas of optimizing the space, found in the overall decoration, mean a professional designer’s intervention and how this could transform an ordinary flat of a block in a home magazine.As the house did dispose of large spaces, the decorator started from white, as a basic color used for the walls, then she combined present shades of black, purple and pale colors (as grey and beige). In fact, the black-and-white combination is to be found in the decoration of each room.

The House on Wheels – for Those Who Like to Admire Each Morning a Different Landscape

The mobile house.The house on wheels or the trailer, as many prefer to name it, became an alternative of the hotels, favored lately by those who like to admire each morning a different landscape.If generally, the trailer is used just for vacations, only very few actually living in such a house, in many countries, this kind of living became a natural and often met case. It is true that such a house doesn’t offer you the space and the comfort of a built one or of an apartment, but these houses also present many advantages.The trailers are ideal for vacations, if you plan a several-week holiday. Equipped accordingly, the trailer may successfully replace the hotel rooms, therefore your vacation won’t depend neither on the length of the itinerary, nor on reservation or the crepuscule.

These small houses on wheels endowed with the latest equipment, giving thus to you the comfort you need. But, as any other house otherwise, the trailers present both advantages and disadvantages. The freedom of movement, the time spent in nature, the costs that are significantly lowered, and the exclusion of a fixed schedule, are only few criteria of the top of the advantage list. Let us also not to forget that we have the possibility to decorate the space according to our own preferences and everyone’s necessities. In terms of pets, we don’t even have to mention them, since this time you’re free to take your little four-legged one along with you in vacation.

Among the disadvantages, one may consider the following aspects: the narrow space from within the trailer, the high fuel consumption and a low driving speed. Plus, it is not easily to find a special camping place. This places that make available electricity, water and sewerage are almost nonexistent in our country. Even though the number of those who acquire trailers is increasing, no one builds camping places specially dedicated to this type of tourism.However, this inconvenience doesn’t exclude the possibility of placing your trailer anywhere else you want, you just won’t benefit of the necessary amenities, having thus the obligation of managing all these on your own. Balancing the advantages and the disadvantages, you’re able to opt for a well and minutely scheduled vacation, with hotel reservations and timing, and an unplanned vacation without having anything planned before, enjoying both the nature and your ‘faraway from home house’.
