Revived Modern Simplicity

Revived Modern Simplicity

The heart of this apartment lies in the living space location, which is casually integrated into the kitchen. By employing white for virtually all pieces of furnishings, this living room manages to have its personal couch, television set, and window without cramping up the kitchen space. With curtain-much less windows and unobstructed walls, the major focus are the clean white furniture and counters, and abundant use of small plant pots and flowers. An air of modern luxury is nestled in the lighting—a chandelier and little, warm lights brighten all corners of the residence. It is in the living space that we discover an especially exclusive and clever way to save space: the bed is nestled in a little extension of the living space. Even though there are no doors or separators here, the sleeping location is still extremely much a separate space, as the walls are decorated with a wealthy blue pattern and the bed fits snugly with its own lamps and effectively-padded cushions.

This “built-in” take on interior design is also located in the adorable desk area right on the other side of the bed “room”. The desk itself is of glass and the legs are thin to not obstruct the coherence of the living room. A mirror is placed here as a valuable decor, and a shelf that is fully constructed into the white wall next to the desk is a subtle touch. This space is kept modest with the minimalistic metallic lamp and candles placed on the shelf—nothing is out of spot here.

Of course, near the doorway we uncover a wooden closet with a sliding door, with constructed in cabinets above it. By maintaining 1 panel of the door as a mirror, this apartment optimizes its space and maintains that simple charm. The inside of this closet is playful with its floral print, however the discreetness of it is its best quality.

As for the bathroom, here we also uncover that space is maximized as significantly as possible as the bulky shower box has been replaced with a thick, separating glass. The use of metallic greys and whites assists reflect the light from wall to wall, additional adding to the impression of a bigger washroom. Tiny nooks have been transformed into the best location to preserve towels and toiletries, and a thin shelf along one of the walls permits for some simple bathroom decoration.

And of course, with a balcony like this that overlooks a straightforward patio, there’s really no purpose to not be in a excellent mood each and every time you appear outdoors. This apartment can fool anyone with its modest and almost old-fashioned facade, but wins every and each heart that enters with its delightfully modern day simplicity.

Simple Christmas table decorations

Some homes are so overdecorated for Christmas you don't know what to look at and come away with a jumble of impressions. How much better is it to present a simple display that gets noticed.

Before you go out and buy new objects to decorate look at what you have with a creative eye.  There are so many possibilities.  I hope this collection gives you ideas of your own.

Fresh Flowers

I've always loved cream coloured poinsettias.  As you near Christmas they often go on sale and the longer you wait the less you'll pay.  If your deal looks a little bedraggled this is the perfect solution. Cut  the blooms and arrange separately in bottles or clear glass vases. Perfect.

Keep your display simple and repetitive.  Amaryllis is the flower of choice here but carnations are relatively inexpensive and last forever. 

Tiered Trays

Consider stacking several cake plates of varying sizes to make an arrangement similar to this one.

Create your own glitter candles and display with glass candle holders. Place a few candles in a large box and coat with spray adhesive (sold at crafts stores). Spoon glitter over the candles to coat; let dry overnight.

Fresh Fruit
