This week, website wise, why not have a little flick through the pages of http://www.tumidei.it/ . Its a bold company that offers a selection of what they call “layouts”, these are bespoke designs for whole rooms that can include shelves, mirrors, headboards and flooring.

Here is an example of one of the room layouts they have completed already

Anyone who likes bold colors will also find the website interesting because many of Tumidei’s designs rely heavily on the use of block color and big bold panels of bright colors like turquoise and magenta pink.

Much like a bespoke suit from London’s Saville Row, these rooms are unique spaces designed specifically for the buyer and are made to fit in with the persons life in a seamless and functional way.

The above room has many of Tumidei’s signature design characteristics like the under the bed table that pulls in and out or the illuminated linear shelves on the back wall. As you can see from all the images the pieces produced by the company are not only innovative but are crafted in a high quality and precise way so that every item slots into the space perfectly.

Usually, the visual factor gets me when a piece of furniture is beautiful, but I always thought of the photographer that brings in those stunning images. Who are those people behind the modern or classy interiors we see each day? One of them is Rachael Smith - a London-based freelance photographer specializing in interiors, still life and portraits. I’ve just looked over her pictures and I’m amazed how she manages to come out with the best views and how she puts forward the best in them. Check out the Swedish summerhouse, Eero Aarnio’s home, the South London Home, the Ladbroke Grove home or the Bedo Sperlein, and tell me if that isn’t great inspiration!

Vinyl Wall Decals Art : Beautiful Vinyl Wall Stickers

2009-04-09T19:32:00.000-07:00

In these days one of the most interesting ways to dress your walls and to give it individuality is to add wall decals to it. A vinyl wall decal can give your wall a unique look just in few minutes, without going through the long, messy and expensive process of paint or wall paper. Vinyl wall decals are very popular now because they are inexpensive, easy to apply, and with so many designs, it’s easy to find something that fits every taste. You can also choose a removable wall decal that is great because it makes it easy to change your mind and create something new. For today post I’ve found some really beautiful vinyl wall designs from Thesurfacestore Urban Wall Decals collection, that are available for $42, $55, & $90 depending on your favorite design.

I would say to people that are looking for some decals, but don’t know how to start, that wall decals can be either a subtle element in your room or the central element. I suggest that people first think about the space they want to fill or the ambiance they want to create in a room, then find the wall decal that you love and have fun with it. The great thing is that they are removable and you are not locked in to any one decision. I also know some people that change their decals often or use them to create a specific ambiance for an event (parties,weddings, the changing season etc).

Shelving Knowledge: How to decorate your own home library

2009-03-30T22:45:00.000-07:00

A home library is not something for everyone, but if you do have an inclination towards books or even love collecting the rare ones, then this can really add immensely both to the look of your home and how people view you when they come for a visit. A home library talks about your personality, shouts about what kind of a person you are and it also ensures that those who walk in, leave with something added to their wisdom. It can make for a great topic of conversation and earn you some great new buddies.

Of course, a whole library at home looks hard to put together, but with these tips, you will find that it is not that hard as you thought.

#1 Pick the perfect room and devote the required space
The most significant aspect towards building a grand home library is to pick the right room. Obviously, preferable it should have a high ceiling along with space for racks and other accessories. You can of course, devote just a part of a certain room for this purpose, but an entire room that is totally dedicated makes it a lot more wonderful. Also make sure it’s large enough to accommodate your entire book collection and maybe the ones you are going to add in the future.

#2 Choose the type of shelves that you feel would be apt
You can either go for built-in shelves, racks that are made of wood, separate standings sshelves that occupy more space or the ones that hang from the ceiling. No matter which variety you pick ensure that they all go well with the furnishings you have in the room and are all crafted from wood. Wooden racks give your home library an authentic and original feel that cannot be achieved by other modern materials.

#3 Colors, shades and usage of materials
Dark and Victorian styled colors are often used in libraries to give them a more antique feeling. The same can be done for your home library. Once again the use of woodwork grained in darker textures helps a great deal in capturing this essence. This will go well with any collection or theme you chose. Such as the French, Spanish or Italian collection. The appeal for such interiors is almost universal.

#4 Accessorize with rugs, lamps, tables and chairs
Use tables and chairs inside your home library according to the space available and the comfort factor. You can get a bit unconventional and even go for a couch so that you feel more at home. A small television that is put in a closed cabin, a fine rug and an antique lamp will do wonders to the interiors. This though is a matter of individual choice and you can go the way you chose with accessories.

#5 Use lighting to add to your book collection
Use lighting smartly so that it brings the beauty out of your rare and specially bounded books while it hides those rugged looking old copies of the paperbacks. Your home library can be altered and changed by using lighting in various different patterns. The lighting must be most often soft, ambient and must reflect the studious mood inside.
Apart from all those, one can also add a dash of class with sculptures and plants which will bring life to the home library. Since the walls are already full, it will be such standing decorative that will bring added beauty to your home library. If you are willing to spend a tad bit extra, then you can create your very own favorite library in your own home.

Shelving storage ideas

2008-10-22T03:21:00.000-07:00

Fit two rows of books on each shelf - simply raise the back row of books on a piece of wood that's painted to match the shelves.
Stylist's tip
Paint the floating shelves the same colour as a desk below to create a modern take on a dresser

Give your shelving a bespoke look - and disguise fittings - by fixing skirting board in the same finish around the front edges
Stylist's tip
A strip light above the ornaments draws attention to the display area and creates mood lighting

Want something you can add to over time? Go for modular units you can arrange exactly how you want, with drawer inserts to hide clutter
Stylist's tip
Laid back on their sides and covered with a seat pad, the modular units create a handy window seat with storage

Create stunning but inexpensive sliding fabric panels that'll look fantastic drawn across alcoves. Try IKEA for the tracks and fixings.

Stylist's tip

Match the fabric on the panels to the wallpaper on the chimney breast to create the illusion of a feature wall

Shelving storage ideas

2008-10-22T03:06:00.000-07:00

Divide the room and add space for everything

Separate living and dining areas with freestanding shelves. They'll add storage that can be accessed from both sides

How to style your shelving

* Display objects in between books - it'll lighten the overall feel

* Keep the look neat by tucking small items away in storage boxes

* Arrange books by size - it's more visually pleasing to have large ones at the bottom in deeper shelves

Start advertisment

End advertisment

* For closed-back bookshelves, line the back of the shelves with wallpaper to add a personal touch

* Store oversized books horizontally to reduce the stress on their spines

* Put display items on eye-level shelves

* Light-coloured shelves divide without being too dominating; choose a darker unit for a greater impact.

* Create a focal point by grouping flowers in the middle of the unit - mix and match vases of different shapes and sizes for an eye-catching feature.

...............................

Create wall-to-wall shelving

Place three open shelf units flush to the wall to create the look of built-in storage that doesn't dominate the room - and requires no DIY

How to choose the right unit

* Allow 3cm to 5cm space above books so you can easily pull them out

Start advertisment

End advertisment

* For accessibility, go for units no higher than 21cm, with the top shelf at 180cm

* Shelves should be 30cm wide to fit larger books and 20cm for paperbacks, CDs and DVDs. Leave 25cm to 30cm between each shelf

* Hardback books are heavy, so need sturdy shelves. Slim shelves are only suitable for lighter paperbacks and ornaments

Stylist's tip

Keep the wall colour light to contrast with dark shelving and provide a backdrop for ornaments

...............................

Use box shelves to create a focal point

Shelving should suit the way you live and the space you have. Find a place for everything with these ideas using freestanding, wall-hung and modular shelves.

Bathroom Shelves

Find decorative and creative ideas for bathroom shelves and solve bathroom storage problems

Are you tired of leaving your toothpaste, makeup, soap, and everything else in the bathroom balanced precariously on the edge of the sink?

Do you get annoyed with the lack of useful shelving in your bathroom?

A lot of people overlook the need for extra bathroom shelves, and it always seems cluttered as a result.
Bathrooms are a central room in your home, and they need proper decorative shelves and storage shelves just like anywhere else. There are a lot of creative, decorative shelving solutions available to enhance your bathroom, giving it a more ordered look while providing you with not only extra storage space but also great ways to display vases, pretty bottles, bowls, figurines and other objects that will add beauty to your bathroom.

Most bathrooms aren't all that big, so when adding shelving to the bathroom you have to really measure carefully and whatever you do, don't overdo it. Just one bathroom shelf unit, or one set of bathroom wall shelves is usually as much as you can normally add to a bathroom. Even if you have more space to add glass bathroom shelves or other bathroom shelving, think twice. If you put in too much your bathroom will feel crowded and uncomfortable.

When considering bathroom shelves, think creatively about where to put them. We've found decorative bathroom shelves as well as bathroom storage shelves that are designed to fit into every nook and cranny of your bathroom. You can find shelves designed to fit above the toilet (but mounted on the floor, not the wall) as well as shelves for under the sink, around the mirror, and in the corners.

There are glass bathroom shelves, wood bathroom shelves, and also metal bathroom shelves to meet your taste, as well as your needs.

If you are interested in wall-mounted bathroom shelves, take into account the type of wall you have. If you have bathroom tiles on the wall, you must have the proper drill bits so you won't crack the tiles when you drill the holes.

Wood bathroom shelves are very nice, and certainly a step up from plastic ones. Take into account, however, that wood bathroom shelves need to be finished and sealed properly. Exposed wood in a humid area, like a bathroom with a steamy shower, will become moldy, and a health risk. Get shelves that are rated for bathroom use.

Adding On Wall Shelves and Storage In Your Kitchen

If you're interested in adding additional shelving into your kitchen, you can either mount more shelves on available wall space, or buy a floor-standing unit. If you want to add on wall-mounted shelves, you should take a lot of things into consideration before you begin drilling holes:

Location Of Shelves

This is really important. You don't want the shelves to get in the way of any kitchen appliances, doors, or windows. Also, if the shelves are mounted in that space can anyone (especially taller people) bump into them accidentally?

Accessibility

If you mount shelves in that location, will you be able to easily get whatever you plan on storing on the shelves? How often will you need the items that will go on these shelves, and how important are they?

Type Of Walls

This is important for knowing how to properly mount the shelves. If the walls are brick or concrete, no problem! However, plasterboard walls are weaker, and mounting shelves that will hold heavy (and breakable) kitchen dishes on them is trickier.

Closeness to Stove Top

Not only could mounting shelves above a stove be a potential fire hazard, it can also become a grease trap.
Shelf Material
Not all shelf materials are necessarily good in the kitchen. Stainless steel shelves are easier to clean, but not as nice to look at as real wood.

What material goes with the rest of the kitchen decor?

Once you've taken all these factors into account, you are ready to make some decisions regarding kitchen wall shelving.
For some great stainless steel shelves that won't cost you an arm and a leg, take a look at this kitchen wall system which is fully adjustable, and it also provides hooks along the bottom for utensils.
If your looking for pantry shelving, it's important that it's light, flexible and strong. You don't want to be concerned, for example, that the shelves are not strong enough to hold a mixer or heavy food processor.

When The Shelves You Have Just Aren't Enough Space

You can double the size of your kitchen, and triple the amount of shelves you have, it still won't be enough. Kitchen shelves fill up, and there is no such thing as spare space in a kitchen. That's just the way it is.

A lot of kitchens that we've seen, even the larger ones, tend to have a lot of enclosed cabinetry, and not enough open shelf space. There might be enough shelves for the dishes,

but what about kitchen bookshelves for your cookbooks?

Not only do you need space for books, but also for microwaves,vases, displays, radios, wine bottles, and a whole lot more. This plus decorations is what turns a kitchen into a warm, friendly room that invites you and your family to spend more time in it.

Even people who don't cook a lot tend to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and it often becomes a warm, social area for interaction. In our home guests feel as comfortable in the kitchen as they do in our living room. By having open shelving strategically placed around the kitchen, we are able to display a nice collection of interesting bottles, all of our cookbooks, a few vases, and even some of our kid's art projects.

If you lack open kitchen shelf space, consider adding on either extra wall-mounted shelves, or choose from a wide variety of shelves and units that are designed specifically for the kitchen. These units come in a variety of designs, some with lots of open shelf space, some with drawers, and even some on wheels. They make handsome additions to any kitchen, and provide you with lots of extra space for holding books, artwork and more. Kitchen carts, buffets, sideboards, microwave stands and bakers racks are all designed to fit into available space in the kitchen, and provide you with additional surfaces for preparation, shelves for presentation and also drawers and baskets for storage purposes.

Metal Display Shelves

2008-05-27T21:22:00.000-07:00

Sturdy and Stylish, Great Shelves That'll Last

Metal display shelves combine style and grace with strength and durability. It used to be that metal shelves were only built to be boring, gray storage units. We've come a long way, though, and today you can find great eye-catching metal shelving units that would look great in your living room or den. Metal shelves have another advantage, though over wood or glass shelves, many models can be put outside as well. Metal display shelves are being used more and more in gardens and on outside decks for decoration and display.

Whether you are interested in all-metal display shelves, or a metal unit that incorporates glass, metal shelves are built to last, and also enhance your home.
