    A Dreamy Bed Canopy: My Bedroom Makeover.

    December 23, 2020 /

    A bed canopy was the furthest thing on my mind when I was thinking of ways to revamp my bedroom. I knew I wanted my new bedroom to be cozy, relaxing and inviting. However, even with beautiful propped up pillows, there was still something that was amiss. You might be wondering, what is a bed canopy? Or why did I choose to make one? Well, bed canopies date as far back as the 16th century. They are somewhat similar to four poster beds. However, they are draped with decorative fabric on the upper space to create a canopy. On the sides, they have long flowing sheers that fall beautifully from…

    What Interior Design Style Best Suits Your Personality?

    August 23, 2020 /

    What’s your interior design style? That’s the question I always ask my clients at the beginning of a consult. Unfortunately not many are able to put this in words or on paper. I often hear, ‘something nice’, ‘fancy’, ‘glam’ or ‘colorful’. Source Interior design styles are many and quite a number of them date back to specific periods in history. Nonetheless, that’s a history lesson for another day. Source Today, we will narrow down to 10 interior design styles that have stood the test of time and very often reign supreme in the design world.

    Interior Designer vs Interior Stylist. Do we know the difference?

    July 25, 2020 /

    Do you know the difference between an Interior Designer and Interior Stylist? Many people use the two names interchangeably and I do not hold it against them.  They sound like they do the same job and are one and the same. However, in today’s article, we’ll look at what makes these two distinct and yet unique at their own job. What’s an Interior Designer? Source An Interior Designer manipulates an empty space in almost any type of building, by creating a safe and functional space. They have a clear understanding of the building codes and the habits and practices of the people who are going to occupy that space. Source…

    I used to think hiring an Interior Designer was something only rich people did. I did not know anyone who was open for such an idea. Whenever I asked randomly if someone would hire an Interior Designer, not many knew what exactly they do or how to go about hiring one. Source Before I started this blog, I used to secretly post interior decorating articles on blogger.com I never told anyone I was doing this. That’s what fear of being labelled an impostor does to you. It crashes your confidence and tells you that you are not good enough. I had 6 to 10 articles and this was when blogging…

    Moving House? Here are top tips to make it less stressful!

    June 20, 2020 /

    We recently moved house and if I said it wasn’t a tad bit stressful, I’d be lying. There are no written guidelines for moving house during a pandemic and thinking about it made me feel very anxious. I dreaded the whole thing. source Would we have to sanitize every minute we came into contact with the movers? Do we all have to wear gloves? Do we sanitize the movers? So on and so forth – these were the questions that were lingering at the back of my mind every single day as our moving day approached slowly. source Furthermore, we didn’t have any boxes to pack our stuff in.

    It’s no lie that the current COVD-19 pandemic caught everyone off guard. Additionally, we’ve also had to re-think our spending habits due to the uncertainties of employment. With the times looking so bleak, we’ve all had to make adjustments here and there. And some of these adjustments include surviving on a shoe string budget. Source I had so many plans for our home but unfortunately, I have had to put them on hold and re-think how we can decorate on a budget.

    How Decorating With Mirrors Can Make a Small Space Feel Bigger

    May 2, 2020 /

    There’s no better way to glam up small spaces than decorating with mirrors. They are little luxuries that are more often than not, overlooked. Mirrors make a space feel bigger and brighter. They open up dark rooms by reflecting natural light. And let’s not forget, a mirror is also a girl’s best friend, right? Source If you are wondering how to make your small space look bigger, then a mirror is your best option. Mirrors give the illusion of depth – and for that reason, they add oomph and enhance views too. Source We’ve narrowed down to 6 homes that we are crushing on this month.

    Decorating With Yellow? Believe It Or Not, You Can Actually Pull It Off.

    April 22, 2020 /

    Decorating with yellow can easily bring sunshine into your home. According to Verywell Mind, “yellow is a bright color that is often described as cheery and warm. It can be intense, which is perhaps why it can often invoke such strong feelings“. For a very long time, I played it safe decorating our home with beige and grey colors. I was scared to use bright hues. Probably, because I had no idea how to do so. I didn’t know I had an obsession with the color yellow until I recently started using accessories with pops of yellow. Something about it kept pulling me in. It’s safe to say yellow is…
