The Best Colours for Children's Rooms

Kids’ bedrooms are a terrific place for playing around with colour. Children love to have bright, bold and uniquely coloured rooms. It reflects the liveliness of their nature.

Going too bold with a kids’ room can be a mistake, though. You want to play around with a combination of bold colours and subtler accents to create a room where your child can feel awake and alive but still get relaxed enough to sleep at night! And you don’t want to discount the power of neutrals, whites and blacks when decorating a child’s room because these can add a different dimension to what you would typically expect to find when walking into a child’s bedroom.

In the end, of course, the key is to find the right colours for your own kid. Let your children’s personalities come through as they help you to pick out paints and create the space that they live in.

Pink is one of the most common colours that people think of when they think of designing a girls’ room. Although it can be cliche, it can also be a really great colour to have as a room when you’re a young girl.

Pink colour creates a space that a girl can feel pretty in without making her feel too much like a princess.

Red is a colour that has the potential to be either all wrong or all right in a kids’ room. If the red is too bright, the room can be overwhelming and even a little bit scary for the child.

Softer colours are best when it comes to rooms where babies are going to be sleeping.

Orange is a really great colour for kids who are starting to get older but who aren’t quite teens yet. It’s a fun colour and a hue that works equally well for girls and boys.

Yellow is a terrific colour for kids’ rooms whether you’ve got boys or girls. It’s a colour that comes in many hues so you can have soft rooms or bold rooms depending on your child’s personality.

Another colour parents shun is black. Nobody wants their kid living in a dark, morose room. However, a black wall can actually serve well as the backdrop for bold artwork and other colourful pieces.

Safety tips for your house when you are on vacation

We always panic on the last moment, while moving out of the house for vacation and tend to check everything twice until we are on our way with our bags. Last minute checking is what matters a lot, checking if you have taken all the luggage, packed everything perfectly, taken every essential thing or not and the list goes on and on. And after ensuring many times, we finally leave all our concerns away and start our journey for vacation. But we forget the most important thing while going out for vacation, to ensure whether your home will be safe or not when you are on vacation? We get stuck with numerous end-moment things that we easily neglect the safety of our home, although these are very minute things which can make ensure you that your home will be safe when you are away from it.Checking these few details about your home before leaving the house will definitely help you ensure the safety of your house.

Lock everything
We can’t tell when your home will be attacked by burglars or thieves when you are away, so it is very mandatory that you lock all main doors and windows by ensuring that they won’t be easily cracked. If you have provisions to lock your room doors and respective windows, then you should undoubtedly lock them all. Closing all the curtains of your house can easily deflect intruders peeping inside the house.

Tell your neighbor
The best way to keep an eye over your house when you are out on vacation is to tell your neighbor to look after the house. Neighbors can always rely on each other in various times, although your neighbor must be very busy in his own life but they can take five minutes to take a look at your place when you are not there. If you have a good relationship with them, you can easily ask them to look after your house and in future as a return you can also do the same for him.

Water Lines and Electricity
Electricity and water lines can cause a huge disaster if they are not managed perfectly, while on the vacation if any such disaster can cause hazardous effects on your home. Check twice if the faucet points in your kitchen, bathrooms, and balcony are tightly closed or not. And make sure that you shut off all the electric switches, and more importantly the main electricity switch. One thing which can easily go unnoticed is the refrigerator, you can turn it off but may forgot to take the stored food out and if you leave the food inside the refrigerator then it will cause you a big problem when you come back.

Other than these main safety precautions, there are many other minor precautions which can help you maintain your home even when you are away from the house. If you have indoor plants in your house, you can ask your neighbor to cover for you. Make sure that you get your home cleaned before leaving the house by throwing all the garbage out. For the people living in the cold region, keep your home heater on to avoid frozen problem problems. One more thing is to tell your newspaper and milk vendors not to deliver your products for the period of your vacation.

5 Summer Home Maintenance Tips to Protect Your Home Year-Round

It’s important to take proper measures to protect your home from long term issues year round. However, during the summer months it may be easier to detect issues than any other season. To ensure that your home is protected from potential damage, it’s important to take necessary maintenance steps during the summer.

1. Power wash siding and decks
As the weather gets warmer, the damage that occurred during winter months to outer surfaces of your home will appear. In order to prevent the damage from worsening or the dirt from piling up, one summer home maintenance tip is to power wash those surfaces. For example vinyl siding and deck finishes can take a beating during harsh winters. Using a power washer you can get these surfaces extremely clean and prepped for a protective coat to prevent any further damage.

2. Clean the outside of windows
Another summer home maintenance tip to consider is cleaning the outside of your home’s windows. Throughout the year, especially if you live in a climate that has extreme winters or a rainy season, it can be difficult to clean the outside of your windows properly. During the summer months, cleaning the outside of your windows can make them more functional, but also prevent the protective seal around the window from wearing down as quickly allowing you to avoid replacing windows.

3. Clean and clear gutters
Cleaning out your gutters is a summer home maintenance tip that’s incredibly important. Your gutter system can be filled with debris from fallen leaves and other plants in your yard. Over time this debris can cause the gutter system to no longer function properly causing water to pool in places that it shouldn’t. This can lead to water damage to the perimeter of the home, especially during a heavy rain. In order to prevent this, you should spend time each season clearing out your gutter system to ensure it still properly functions.

4. Pest control
Pests are out in full force during the summer months. Some pests can cause an extreme amount of damage to your home if not taken care of properly. It’s obviously common to see a bug here or there within your home, but if you frequently spot the same type of bug in your home it could be a good idea to hire an exterminator. This is especially important if the bug you spot is something that can be damaging to the home, like carpenter ants or cockroaches. This is also true for rodents. Make sure that if you suspect a rodent has gotten into your home to inspect areas that could potentially be their entrance and hire a professional if need be.

5. Check the roof for damage
Checking your roof for potential damage could save you a ton of money in the long run. A part of your summer home maintenance routine should be to take a closer look at your roof to assess where there may be damaged areas. Fixing areas of your roof instead of having to get an entire roof replaced is much more cost effective. This will also ensure that you catch any potential areas that could cause further damage to the interior of your home before it happens.

3 Essential Vastu-Friendly Colours to Bring Into Your Home

According to vastu, colours influence the energy and mood of a room to a large extent – while some hues help bring in positivity, some neutralise the effects of negative spaces. In this article, We recommend colours that can aid in bringing prosperity, luck and happiness at home.

1. Red
Bright red or Ferrari red
It is universally used in various warning signs because of its ability to attract immediate attention. The universal law is that ‘wherever attention goes, energy flows’.

Where to use it?
It is a very powerful colour and one not to be played with carelessly. Hence, we always suggest using this colour only in the positive sector of the house, either on the wall or by adding splashes of it with various elements like paintings, cushions, candles and accessories. This exponentially enhances the energy of that particular positive sector. You can intuitively know which part of your house has more positive energy; it is a space where you feel most at peace, sleep well or enjoy spending quality time. Infuse these spots with bright red.

2. Orange
Bright orange or the colour of an orange fruit
It is a healing colour, one that combines the fiery energy of red and the warmth and happiness of yellow. It has great energy and balancing properties. It is a good shade that alludes to positivity; it sees us through tough times.

Where to use it
We suggest this colour for the negative areas of the house. Areas that you feel tend to collect a lot of clutter or no matter what you do, always look dirty and dull. Infuse these areas with bright-orange elements or wall paint.

3. Yellow
Bright yellow or taxi yellow
This colour, although refreshing, has dual properties. It is associated with clarity, freshness, cheerfulness, positivity and energy, as well as deceit and malice. Because of its dual nature, it has a neutralising effect.

Where to use it
We only recommend this colour in the negative sectors of your house, as whichever area it is in, it will reduce the effect of its energy. Any area of your house that suffers from constant leakage and seepage problems or faces constant breakdown of electronics and maintenance work can be infused with bright yellow to neutralise the effects.

These are the three colours that play an important role in enhancing and balancing the energy of the house. Although, as per vastu, there aren’t any specific colour recommendations for each room, here are general rules that you can follow when deciding the colour scheme of your house.

Living room
The living room is the introduction of your house. This space should always have soothing colours (neutrals or soft pastels) that give a sense of warmth.

Bedroom
Avoid using bold colours like dark blue, deep red and black in your bedroom, as they are generally associated with depression and despair.

Puja room/ meditation room
Use vibrant colours for your worship area. If you have a separate space for meditation, you can use shades of blue in that space for a deeper experience.

Kitchen
This area should have splashes of colour in it, but instead of painting the walls, introduce hues through jars and bottles.

Keep Your Home Safe From Holi Colours


Holi is a very colourful and vibrant festival. We all love to play with Holi colours on the streets and parks. However, the trouble begins when the Holi colours reach your house. We spend so much of our funds on the interiors and furnishing of our houses. That is why, safety of your home from Holi colours is very essential.
Keep the colours safely out of your home and you can still enjoy playing Holi. Yes, that is easily said than done. But a few smart home safety tips pre-Holi is all that you need protect your home against any damage from Holi colours.
Here are some easy ways to protect your home from Holi colours this year.

Door knob
The door knob is the first thing you will touch after you come back home from the Holi celebrations. You will invariably touch it and leave it stained. That is why, we suggest you to apply some turpentine oil on your door knob a day before Holi to keep it stain-free. Turpentine oil is an oil that is easily available in any hardware store. But if you don't find it, just apply some mustard oil on the door knob.

Hand prints on walls
Apply a coat of anti-stain varnish on your walls to ensure that you do not damage them. Or else, you can push all your furniture against the walls so that you are not in close proximity to the walls at all.

Bathroom tiles
The bathroom tiles get painted with Holi colours when you bathe. So keep a portable tub in your bathroom. You will be bathing inside this tub after playing Holi. It is almost impossible to remove colour stains from bathroom tiles later.

Garden Shower
To reduce the amount of mess in your home, you can take a pre-functionary shower with a hose pipe in the garden. This washes away the loose colours. And you don't end up leaving a colourful train behind you.

Cover Furniture
Use old bedsheets, curtains, dupattas and sarees to cover all your furniture. Wooden furniture can be cleaned, but your leather stuff must be covered to avoid damage.

Taps n showers
When you go into the bathroom to bathe, you have to touch the taps for the shower. So apply petroleum jelly on them beforehand. This will make sure that they do not get stained with colours.

Sink
Never use the bathroom basin or sink to wash your face. The porcelain or tiled basic will get stained. Go straight to the tub and start bathing.

These are some easy ways to keep your home safe from Holi colours.

How Plants Can Transform Your Bathroom

In modern apartment living, bathrooms are our most personal spaces, but not always oases of delight. That’s where we go to freshen up, start a new day or end a long, hectic one. Liven up your bathroom with greenery, and it can also be where you recharge. Adding plants indoors, including the bathroom, can make us feel more positive and even lower our stress levels. To make your bathroom come alive with the energy and calm of nature, consider bringing plants inside. Here are the points to keep in mind.

Finding the right place
While the washbasin platform is the first area that comes to mind to keep a small plant, consider any and all flat surfaces, including windowsills, alcoves, the tops of partition walls and floor.

Like any other plants, sunlight should be the main factor to decide placement of plants; but if, like most bathrooms, yours doesn’t receive too much sunlight, don’t worry. Read on to know which plants do well in the dark, humid conditions of a typical bathroom.

Go vertical
If your bathroom doesn’t have enough flat surfaces to place the pots, consider hanging them from the ceiling, mounting them on the walls, or even setting up a vertical garden on a dedicated wall. Since the air in the bathroom is already humid, you won’t have to worry about watering these plants often, so even if the pots are high up, it is still okay.

Consider cascading vines and ferns kept high up on partition walls or hanging from pots above head level. They will immediately lend the feeling of a tropical forest to your bathroom.

Best plants for your bathroom
The best bathroom plants have low light requirements and are able to thrive in high-humidity conditions.

One of the best plants for the bathroom is Sansevieria (snake plant). This plant is almost impossible to kill. It can tolerate any growing conditions – no light or low light or direct light. You almost never have to water them, specially if they are in a bathroom. What’s more, their structure adds modern lines to your bathroom scape.

Other plants include golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii) and all types of bromeliads.

Insider tip
It might come as a surprise to you that some of the most temperamental plants can do very well in your bathrooms. Try it – your orchids and ferns might just thrive in your bathroom! They need less light, less water and the humid environs of a forest: bathrooms can recreate that.

Less is more
If you are really crunched on space, then even just one tall plant can do the trick. Don’t hesitate from using non-conventional spaces like the top of a flush tank, even. All flat real estate in the bathroom is precious.

More is very cool
A lot of plants that thrive in the bathroom freshen the air, such as the spider plant, golden pothos and peace lily. Not only do they release oxygen but also clean the air of toxins such as formaldehydes.

5 Ways Your Home Can Help With Your Resolutions

Some New Year’s resolutions, such as climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro or learning to fly a plane, definitely require you leaving your house. But for many common resolutions that focus on your body, spirit and mind, there’s no reason to leave the comfort of home. Here are 5 New Year’s resolutions and ideas for accomplishing them in your house.

1. Eat healthier. Eating healthier should start right at home. Not only is cooking at home generally less expensive than eating at a restaurant, but it also allows you to monitor the type and quality of food you’re consuming. So stock up on those pots and pans and get cooking.

Tip: If you’re running low on storage space for your cooking supplies, consider adding pegboard to a wall so you can hang items

2. Get in shape. Among the most common New Year’s resolutions is to get in better shape. But that doesn’t mean you have to join an expensive gym. Finding a space in your home to use as a gym or yoga studio will allow you to get the job done under your own roof.

Tip: Any room in your house with enough floor space for a yoga mat can be transformed into a studio.

3. Get more sleep. Many studies have shown that getting a full eight hours of sleep is a key factor in good health. Whether it’s buying a new mattress or installing blackout shades, there are many ways to promote better sleep.

Tip: Make your bedroom a television-free zone to avoid late-night binge watching.

4. Read more. Whether you prefer e-readers or traditional paper books, finding more time to read can be good for your mind and spirit. Creating a cozy spot in your home with good lighting will make you want to stay in and read all the more, especially in the winter months.

Tip: Create a reading nook that can be used all day long by setting up a comfy chair next to a window for natural light and adding a lamp or sconce for reading at night.

5. Find a creative outlet. Life can be busy and filled with many practical pursuits, from going to work to washing the dog, but that’s no reason to not tend to your creative interests. Whether it’s painting, pottery or papier-mâché, find something that gets your juices flowing.

Tip: If you’re having trouble finding subject matter for your art, try reproducing a classic work until you find your voice.

What it needs:
The Bengal clock vine is a low-maintenance, evergreen plant. It grows best in moderate conditions – partly sunny, warm, gently moist weather.

5 Climbing Plants Great for Indian Balconies & Gardens

In simple words, climbers here refer to the plants that grow upwards using a support (bigger plants, trees, poles or other artificial means). Climbers develop tendrils (thin extensions from the stem) or suckers (stem sprouts) for anchorage or twine themselves around their props. Although they spread naturally, their stems can be tied to lead them to extend towards a particular direction. In landscaped gardens, climbers can not only blur hard lines and soften hardscape walls, but they can also boost the colour and beauty of the space.

Ready to bring some vine goodness to your garden? If you are wondering which plants to opt for, here is a list of climbers that are just right for Indian homes like yours.

1. Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea)
Talking about climbers, the bougainvillea are the first plant genus that comes to my mind. It is a low-care vine, commonly recognised by its flamboyant clusters of vividly hued flower-like bracts (specialised leaves). The actual tiny white flowers nestle within. On closer contact one notices its liberally thorny branches. A healthy bougainvillea’s bracts (of magenta, pink, red, orange, yellow or white) create a wonderful splash of colour. Among other types of bougainvillea, B. glabra (also known as paper flower) is widely prevalent in India.

What it needs:
This ornamental plant requires full sun and well-drained soil. Water it regularly initially for steady growth, but after that make it a good, deep watering occasionally; do not over-water. It is tolerant to drought and salt, making it suitable for raising in hot, dry and coastal climates too.

2. Blue morning glory (Ipomoea indica)
Also known as blue dawn flower or koali awa, this evergreen vine features striking blue-purple trumpet-shaped flowers, dark-green velvety heart-shaped leaves and a slender twining stem. It produces fragile new flowers every day during late spring, summer and autumn.

What it needs:
Blue morning glory needs exposure to full sun, well-drained soil and regular watering when in growth. Feed it fertiliser at that time, too. It is best to shelter the plant from strong winds.

3. Devil’s ivy (Epipremnum aureum)
Devil’s ivy is commonly known as the money plant or golden pothos in India. Heart-shaped leaves with yellow or white speckles are the main characteristics of this evergreen climber vine. It is a low-care, fast-growing plant.

What it needs:
Bright, direct sunlight and low humidity do not suit this vine; a shaded or semi-shaded zone of the garden would suit it just right. Regular watering is needed in the summer months and infrequently during winter.

4. Star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)
The fragrance-laden star jasmine or confederate jasmine is an evergreen climber, but is not a true jasmine. It wears shiny green foliage and white flowers on woody stems. The five-petalled flowers blossom abundantly during the late spring and summer.

True jasmines, almost identical to the star jasmine, are juhi (Jasminum auriculatum), Arabian jasmine (J. sambac) and angelwing jasmine (J. nitidum). They are twining vines with fragrant little white flowers, commonly grown in India.

What it needs:
Although star jasmine is a hardy, winter-tolerant plant, it favours medium watering and well-drained soil. It can do well in full to partial sun conditions.

5. Bengal clock vine (Thunbergia grandiflora)
The Bengal clock vine has lovely trumpet-shaped blue flowers borne in long clusters, dense foliage and perennial growth. This native Indian plant, also known as Bengal trumpet or blue skyflower, has rope-like stems which twine only clockwise, giving it its unusual name.

What it needs:
The Bengal clock vine is a low-maintenance, evergreen plant. It grows best in moderate conditions – partly sunny, warm, gently moist weather.

5 Everyday Steps to an Environmentally Friendly Home

Follow these easy, everyday ideas to lower your household’s environmental footprint.

1. Recycle soft plastics
Although minimising use of soft plastics is the ultimate goal, plastic wraps are all around us. They appear on all manner of pre-packaged goods and are difficult to avoid altogether. Plastic bags may take at least 500 years to decompose, so instead of throwing them out collect them up in a sturdy paper bag and take them along to your local recycling point. The soft plastics can then be reused to make park benches and garden furniture. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than the alternative.

2. That’s a wrap
It’s time to rethink the way we pack our lunch boxes. Plastic food wrap is convenient but unnecessary. Invest in waste-free bento boxes for your kids’ lunches, or try beeswax paper wraps. Not only will you be helping the environment, your lunches will look super cute.

3. Grow your own greens
Grow your own veggies and say goodbye to plastic packaging for good. Spring is a great time to get started. If you have the room, raised planters such as the ones seen here are a good option. But if you’re renting or space is tight, planting veggies and herbs in pots is a good solution. In some ways pots win out – place them in a sunny spot on a deck or patio near the kitchen and you’ll always have herbs on hand to take your meals from simple to sensational. Pots are also an easy and fun way to inject colour and style, and they can easily be moved around so that they’re always getting optimal sun exposure.

4. Compost your green waste
We might not think twice about throwing away unused fruit and veggies, assuming they will harmlessly decompose in landfill, but this is simply not the case. Waste lies stagnant in landfill sites as the oxygen required for the decaying process is not available. The landfill material then releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. All this can be avoided by simply composting rather than disposing of our food waste. Invest in a compost bin and your garden and the environment will soon see the benefits.

5. Be energy efficient
Although it’s tempting to throw all your clothes in the dryer after a long day at work, hanging clothes to dry outside is a far more energy-efficient option. Consider installing a hanging clothes rack in your laundry (as seen here) for days when the weather isn’t on your side.

4 Must-Haves in a Modern Master Bedroom

The bedroom is no longer just a room for retiring to at night to go to sleep; it can now be an escape haven. Our hectic, contemporary lives are such that we are time-poor, forever running around, attending to the needs of others and acting as taxi drivers on weekends, ferrying kids from one sport to the other. There is no ‘me’ time or downtime, and sometimes you just need somewhere to retreat to and experience the small luxuries in life when all is quiet in the house … or not so quiet. So rather than term these adult spaces as master bedrooms, a more appropriate name should be the ‘main bedroom suite’, because just like hotel suites, you want these spaces to transport you to another world; a world that reflects the individual personality of the occupants. Therefore, there is no right or wrong layout for the main bedroom suite but rather core ingredients that allow you to experience your own private oasis. So what are these core ingredients and how have they evolved?

1. A room with a view
There are times when a master bedroom layout is dictated by one key attribute, and in the case of this master bedroom (within the same house as above), that key attribute is a panoramic view of the water beyond, which spans two entire walls. With limited wall space, the inclusion of furniture beyond the bed itself is not possible. However, the designers have been creative in incorporating a pop-up TV at the end of the bed that stores away when not in use and can act as both a seat and storage unit without inhibiting the view.

2. A private bath
The introduction of a private bath or ensuite as opposed to sharing one with the rest of the house is now a common appendix to all master bedrooms. They are for the private use of the room’s occupants only, and can be lavish or simple, large or small. They can also be hidden or transparent within the room. The bedroom reflects the individual personality of the homeowners and provides an idyllic, stress-free environment away from the chaos beyond the bedroom door.

3. Wardrobe
A key component in the design of any master bedroom layout is the inclusion of a cupboard for your clothing. Once freestanding pieces of furniture that could be moved anywhere within the room, they now form part of the built-in joinery. Generally located against one wall, they incorporate storage space usually reserved for the dresser and other pieces of furniture, and allow for vertical hanging and even a compartment for the TV unit. Almost anything can be stored and purpose designed. It fundamentally eliminates an array of furniture pieces and de-clutters a room.

4. Work space
If you’re a night owl an you work at ungodly hours when the whole house is asleep, sometimes comfort can be gained by working in an area annexed to your master bedroom and not far removed on the other side of your home. Lights can be dimmed in the main bedroom suite while you are busy at work and not disturbing anyone else.

Beautify your Home with Beautiful Memories


Some memories are simply etched in your mind, though they become past, their essence remain with us forever. Whether they are great old family memories, memorable travel tales or sweet love stories, all are just unforgettable experiences of our life. Though these moments are remembered every now and then, if you show up it in your surroundings, you might feel as if you are reliving those memories. We human-beings also have memories attached with things like first watch gifted to you by your father or dining table purchased from your first salary. Years have passed, you have totally renovated your home, but feeling sad there is no space for your memorable dining table? Well memories will always find a room to survive. We have a found a way to keep your memories alive.

Well if memories can be relived, then certainly it won’t be called as memories. However if you can’t experience it again, you can probably make it part of your home décor and cherish it. Home is a place where you spend most of your time and when you see memories in front of your eyes, the living space becomes more refreshing and lively.

Display your star studded family:
When it comes to memories, family and loved ones are first recalled. Memories are incomplete without them. Displaying family photos is common home adornment idea but instead of using the typical photo frames, you can think something out of the box.
Why don’t you flaunt your star studded family in a star patterned theme? You can think creative and prepare a beautiful wall art by placing the photos with deigned papers on spokes and create star shape theme. You can place this on entryway. This will make you feel delighted and blessed whenever you enter your home.

Collected pieces of memories:
The shells collected from the sea-shore, the collection of coins when you first visited some foreign country, the stamps or marbles which you gathered during your childhood, are these memories locked in box or lying on the loft packed in some trunk. Is this the right place to keep your valuable memories? Certainly not. These memories can be splashed in a much charming and creative way. Instead of locking it, you can use these small memories to decorate your living space. The seashells collected can be placed in a glass container with some sand. This will look classy home décor piece. You can hang the sand dollar or shell with a thin rope, outside the jar and write on it the travel location from where you collected to make it look more memorable. You can also create beautiful coin craft by sticking it around vase or beautifully frame it on wall.

The lyrical décor:
Do you remember the first song dedicated to you by your wife or the first romantic poem written to you by your husband? How romantic were those days!! Most of the couples complain that after years of marriage, the romance gets somewhere lost, however you can still keep the love blossoming by etching these lyrical love. Handwritten songs or poems framed beautifully as wall art or table piece will evoke the romance again among the couple and take them back to the good old days.

Want to Make Your Small Kitchen Feel Bigger?

We be willing to bet that when you think about your dream kitchen, it doesn’t include the word “tiny.” Yet that’s the reality that many of us live with: Skimpy counter space, a cramped work triangle and precious little space for appliances. If you’re not ready – or willing – to knock out a kitchen wall, you can at least do the next best thing –create the impression of a bigger space with a few strategic decorating tricks.

1. Replace solid cabinet doors with glass ones
Glass fronts lighten the look of cabinetry and allow the eye to travel through to the back, which helps the kitchen seem more expansive. Just don’t clutter the interiors with bric-a-brac – you’ll defeat the purpose.

2. Paint cabinets the same colour as the walls
Limiting the cabinetry and the wall colour to a single hue erases visual boundaries that might stop the eye. The conventional school of thought is that pale colours will reflect light and make the space feel bigger, and that’s certainly a safe approach. But don’t be afraid to go dark, either. Deep tones such as black, navy, charcoal and chocolate recede visually and create the impression that the walls are farther back than they really are.

3. Choose furnishings with a small footprint
Select petite islands, slim chairs, streamlined stools and narrow tables that don’t eat up valuable floor space. Avoid chunky furniture legs or thick bases, which add visual bulk.

4. Recess storage
Tuck a pantry, shelving or cabinets flush with the wall to keep from obstructing the kitchen’s flow. It’s fairly easy to retrofit a recessed niche, especially if you orient it between wall studs.

5. Design with clean lines
Big corbels, ornate cabinetry and fussy details can make a kitchen feel chopped up. Instead, keep the elements tailored and sleek to smooth out the look and create a roomier feel.

4 Ways to Maximise Under-Bed Storage

When was the last time you delved under the beds in your home to see what was lurking under there? Could there be a monster hiding under your child’s bed? Or are you more likely to find some dust bunnies and half a dozen pairs of lost socks? Whether you have a bedroom with heaps of storage, or not a wardrobe in sight, maximising under-bed storage is a great way to increase functionality in your bedrooms, and keep the space tidy.

1. Clear it out
You may dread it, but the first step to maximising the hidden space under your bed is to clear out anything that has become hidden underneath the bed by accident. Pull the bed out form the wall and grab a garbage bag, because in my experience 90 percent of what you find under a bed is rubbish that has slipped under there and never been picked up. You may find the odd piece of clothing too, so pop them straight in the wash.

What you’ll also find, regardless of how much clutter is under there, is that beneath your bed is very dusty. This is normal and is the case in every home, so grab the vacuum and give it a good clean before putting the bed back into position.

2. Decide what’s going back in
Now that you have a clear and clean space under the bed, let’s talk about what you might actually want to store in this space.

The ideal is to store things under the bed that you don’t need to access every day. You also want to store things under there that are easy to pull in and out as needed.

3. Buy suitable containers
Once you’ve decided what you’ll keep under the bed, you can then invest in some suitable storage. There are some great under-bed storage solutions on the market that are the full width of a single bed, and therefore maximise your storage space. You want to focus on using containers that are lightweight and easy to grab and pull out when you need them, especially if they’re being used under children’s beds.

If you’re tempted to skip the containers and just store things loosely under the bed, we’ll just remind you of the amount of dust you vacuumed up when you started this job. You’ll also find that without containers, the mess under the bed will be impossible to control. Containers give you limits and also create a way to easily access what you are storing under there.

4. Use it well
When you come across items that now belong in your under-bed storage, the temptation when you’re in a rush will be to put items on top of the container rather than take 30 seconds and put it inside. Make a decision to do the job well and it will ensure items avoid getting dusty; you’ll also keep the space organised rather than letting it return to clutter.

Dining Room Design Ideas to Make It Look More Attractive

Dining room design can have a big impact on your everyday dining experience. Dining room is not only the space where families eat their meals but do multiple activities. This is the place where we eat, chat with our loved ones and sometimes even work. For many it is the space where many important family discussions happen. Thus, you have to be meticulous while choosing the dining room design for your home. Whatever may be your budget, room, size or style, any of these handpicked dining room designs ideas would certainly match your needs. Hope, these design ideas would help you in designing your dining room and create a unique space for you and your family.

Trestle Table

This is one of the famous dining room design ideas and these tables have successfully been in fashion since the middle ages. These trestle tables can be seen in the medieval coat of arms. Apart from adding an elegant and vintage look, they are also perfect for social gathering.

Blue and White

While you design your dining room, use the blue and white combination to decorate it. This color combination gives a rich and brighter look to your dining room. Further, this timeless palette was used way back in ancient Persia. To get this design, you have to choose pottery, linens and other decorative items in blue and white combination. Again it is an ever green dining room décor and would never go out of style.

Farmhouse Feel

If you have a big space for dining then this look is for you. To bring in a farmhouse like feel inside your home, you can get a big trestle dining table that can accommodate 14 members. This could be the perfect pick for holidays and family get-togethers. With pendant lights and a functional potbelly stove, this would certainly bring in a traditional farmhouse feel. This dining room design will best suit the spacious villas and bungalows. Thus, you can ignore this idea if you have smaller space, as it will occupy most of your space. Also, for this look to be a hot try and bring in as much natural light as possible inside the dining space. If your dining room opens into a balcony or a terrace or a green space then it’s a bonus.

Natural Lighting

The more sunlight you get the more beauty it adds to your home. Your dining room would look spacious if you get natural lighting in your home. It would be great to have your food with an excellent view of the lush landscape from the window. And, you can use wooden table, shelving unit and wicker chairs to enhance the beauty of your dining room. Imagine having your morning tea or coffee in this naturally lit dining room of yours. Doesn’t it take you back to the relaxed vacation home you loved?

Use a Bench Instead of Chairs

When you have too many guests at home, you can’t make everyone sit with the limited chairs available at your home. So, you can buy an antique bench with cushion in your dining room. Apart from accommodating more members, it will make your dining room design look spacious, as you can tuck these benches under the table when not in use.

7 Tricks to Decorating a Large living Room

It’s easy to pine for a larger space when you are living in a teensy one, but big rooms present some of their own challenges, and that is what we will be tackling today. Whether you live in a loft, have a living room with extremely high ceilings or simply have a lot of space to fill, these 7 ideas can help you make your room feel balanced and comfortable.

1. Strategically place tall potted plants
Fill vertical height in rooms with tall ceilings or fill bare, lonely corners with potted trees. As long as your space gets enough light to support the plant’s needs, you really can’t go wrong with adding a massive houseplant.

2. Paint two-tone walls
While tall potted plants are great for drawing the eye up and accentuating high ceilings, sometimes we crave the opposite effect. Painting colour on your walls only part of the way up creates a cosier feeling, tricking the eye into thinking the ceilings are lower than they are.

3. Use a daybed as a room divider
In a really large living room, you may wish to create two full seating areas. Mark the separation while keeping the flow between the two zones with furniture you can easily see over: A daybed, bench, or chaise is a good option.

4.Define zones with a console table
Another option for sectioning off parts of a large living room is floating your sofa in the middle of the room and placing a

5. Use an L-shaped sectional as a room divider
Another great place for your L-shaped sofa is between two seating areas or dividing the living and dining spaces in an open-plan space.

6. Use occasional chairs
Another great use of surplus wall space is for housing a few extra chairs. A console table between a pair of chairs with a large mirror or artwork above always looks smart, and you can pull the chairs in closer when hosting a large group.

7. Create a second seating area or reading nook
In a large living room, even after filling out a main seating arrangement, there will likely be an odd corner that remains unfilled. If you put as much effort into this corner as into the “main” seating area, it may well become your favourite hangout spot.

Top Myths about Investing in Real Estate that are Actually False

Buying a house is not something we do every day. One may do it once in a few years, once in a decade or two, or even only once in a lifetime. Despite the fact that investing in real estate is not a frequent occurrence for most of us, we generally know how it works, mostly based on our family members’ or friends’ experiences.

We do know that buying a property is indeed a big decision as there are many other things involved before buying a property, apart from the financial investment. However, there are lot of myths that surround the whole real estate concept. We have compiled some of the most common myths, which are completely untrue.

Myth 1:
You need luck to be successful in real estate investment.


Truth:
To be a successful investor in the field of real estate, you need insight, research, and some instinct. No matter whether you are a recurrent investor or a one time buyer, you need to depend on your skills, instinct, and knowledge than on your luck.

Myth 2:
You need lot of cash before buying a property.

Truth:
Of course, you need money to start with, but to buy a property, you need not have the entire cash in hand. You can apply for home loans or invest in pre-launch properties. When you invest in pre-launch homes, you need to give only an initial down-payment to book your apartment or villa, which will be very nominal. Furthermore, these properties will provide you a lot of time to organize your finances.

Myth 3:
There is a good time to buy property, and one should wait for it.

Truth:
“Strike while the iron is hot;” this proverb holds good if you are planning to invest in real estate. Prices of properties are increasing a lot, these days. Therefore, the sooner you invest the better.

Myth 4:
There are not many tax benefits when one invests in a property.

Truth:
Apart from the tax deduction on home loan interest and principal components, there are several tax-efficient ways to buy a home. For example, you will have deduction on stamp duty and registration charges, deduction on interest component, deduction on principal component, etc.

Myth 5:
Eco-friendly homes are expensive.

Truth:
Investing in eco-friendly homes add hardly 10% to the original cost, which also could be recovered over time. Alternatively, you can customize your homes to environment-friendly after buying. Furthermore, setting up terrace gardens and maintaining them are quite inexpensive.

Myth 6:
Ready-to-occupy homes are comparatively expensive.

Truth:
If bought from a credible builder like Dedhia, ready-to-occupy homes are affordable and rightly priced. In fact, ready-to-occupy homes have several benefits like tax exemption, rental savings, limited risks, price appreciation, etc.
