From top to bottom: Cricket cabinets, Time flies Clock (you may arrange how the butterflies fly on the wall, composed of four detachable pieces), crawl-up corner sofa, floating bottle vases.

Once in a while I’m sure it’s quite a fun thing to do – experimenting with funky furniture pieces in an interior space.

A very sleek example of experimenting with graphics in an interior space. If you are a good artist you might try to decorate empty wall in an interior space with graphics, it really spice things up! The Hotel room above is nicely decorated in white and green monochromatic scheme.

Stephen Sprouse collaboration with Louis Vuitton this spring 2009 has produced quite an eye candy by its vibrant design with bright neon colors. This neon colors seems to bring that “glow in the dark” effect which is quite edgy and modern. Louis Vuitton has produce a product that merge graphic artist with classic fashion – it does not result in such a bad combination, after all the past Fall 2006 collection of Stephen Sprouse’s 1987 grafiti leopard images for Louis Vuitton handbags, shoes, and scarves sold-out instantly. Following pictures show Sprouse’s design on scarf, jewelry and bag. I love the design on that jewelry padlock.

I believe this picture is taken on one of celebrity’s wedding. I just want to share this thoughtful decoration – to put sea shells all along exterior walls as decoration, sure it will make you feel not too far from beach. This is a good idea to have beach theme wedding without the beach =)

Brocadehome.com has made a very stunning entry to the furniture market by introducing a romantic European flare furniture line in the mid-price range. This company happen to be a child company of Restoration Hardware, but since its opening in 2008 has been strugle with several negative customer feed-backs perhaps because of its big summer sale event that cause this company to shut down for several months and displaying its website as follow:

too bad it doesn’t do any customer support so people who ordered at that time has been charged and can’t get any support to what’s going on with their order lots of complaints all over the web regarding this company you can find it here and on pissed customer’s site.
Perhaps it’s quite a challenge to establish a new furniture line during the first few years especially in the economy like this – however I am glad that they made a come back and this time they have a store in NY
here’s their address:
brocade home soho
59 greene st (between spring + broome)
open daily
so should there be any further customer issue at least you can be re-assured to be getting the support and customer service you need because you can just call the store =)

I personally intrigue by their product and perhaps will give it a try in the near future. Here’re samples of their product – got it from bh store catalog, very lovely:

what type of a home office or work environment suitable for you? Well if you love to work you’d want to make sure you’ll love the room atmosphere because you’ll be stuck for at least 8 hours a day working in that room. Personally speaking I do think work room with soothing colors and good artifacts that have personal attachment to the person using the room would be very important thing to improve one’s job performance. So try to decorate the work room with things you like and you are passionate about to motivate you in the job you’re doing.

According to most effective classroom designers work room should be design to be pleasant as well as effective as to improve one’s performance. However lighting and space play an important part in it. Room that appear to be too cold and not warm enough might not have a good effect for one’s soul hence performance might not be at an optimum level. Small spaces as well as bad lighting will also come in effect.

In conclusion when designing a work room or home office try to make it homey just like designing other room in the house, after all this is more likely to be your second bedroom =)

A simple saw horse style white table with white tulip chair certainly can make a good work table for fashion designer, espcially if you decorate it with the right accessories – look at above at those cute round containers for button and sequins storage posted on the wall just above the desk.

Shown above is the idea to combine vibrant colors with white. This can create a clean, chic and modern working space. Colorful and bright color will certainly bring new energy to greet this coming spring and summer season.

Bold color such as red and white will make a very good interior combination: simple and sophisticated home office style. This can be good for big or small spaces, just try to decorate by accenting the space with bold color accessories while keeping everything else pure white.

Same idea here to keep minimal use of color in big shapes and big space but instead use it for small shapes, small drapes as an accent to achieve the look of a bigger and clean space.

Combination of neutral white and beige with intense green and dark wenge wood flooring. It’s always nice to be able to include different combination of colors in a room to create rich finish. However white furniture in general will still keep the room airy and clean looking even when you mix and match dark flooring and bright wall with it. So this is a good idea for experimenting to get that bigger home office look that is still clean and clutter free.
