Beautiful Oak Floor and Wall Paneling Design Ideas

What blogs like ours look out for when browsing through websites of furniture makers and suppliers to feature on our site are a great collection of visuals that show product realisations. Unfortunately very few makers seem to get this. Just to be clear, we are not really into flashy UIs, intro animations or doorway pages. What we are looking for is images(in decent resolution) of how your product looks in an actual home environment.

Oak furniture maker Harper and Sandilands scores a perfect 10 on this. Their website sports a great collection of visuals of oak floorings and they have been gracious enough to provide separate images for each finish of hardwood floorings. What particularly caught our attention are rooms that have used oak for roofs. At first glance the room looks upside down!

10 Amazing Bedrooms Design with a Panoramic View of the Ocean

Beachfront properties are very desirable for a lot of people because they’re regarded as a rare commodity. Not everyone will have the privilege of owning a piece of property that’s close to the beach because of how limited and expensive such types of properties are. Although properties so close to the Ocean are among the most expensive, they still remain one of the best investments one can make. The property almost always retains its value and is rarely affected by recession or other economic factors. Many people are nervous about buying beach front property because of the frequently high initial cost and the out of the way location.

However the current foreclosure crisis has made now the perfect time to invest in a beautiful piece of beach front property. In today post I don’t want to suggest you to buy a beachfront propriety, but I would like to show you a collection of amazing bedrooms that provide a panoramic view of the ocean, images of clear blue skies and beautiful tropical blue beaches. Some are fortunate enough to live by the ocean and get to enjoy it’s beauty year around, but for those of you who don’t have this privilege here are some amazing bedrooms and of course some amazing panoramic ocean views.

White-Beige Airy Interior Design with French Furniture

This spacious loft space in SE London is designed to be used as photo shooting location. Its interior is done in white-beige color theme which looks very light and airy. White walls and white painted floorboards highlight beauties of classic distressed French furniture with beige colored elements. The space features 24 foot ceiling and 12 foot windows that bring a huge amount of daylight in the interior. Even though it isn’t always possible to create such interior in real life its airy design is a great example of what you could achieve with using of similar color theme.

Pink Color in Apartment Interior Design Ideas by Tribeca Lofts

Ghislaine Viñas is an interior designer who really enjoy pink and green colors. Even her website shows that. Among her works there are two loft designs in Tribeca, New York, which interiors also could show that. Even though these interiors are quite neutral they features several places, where pink accents add life in them. The best thing about using the way the designer does is that these rooms with pink touches don’t look like they are designed for young girls. Cheerful pink highlights not only make rooms cozy but also make them more modern. Pink is always goes hand by hand with fashion

Peace...

I deeply apologize for going missing from this space.

No excuses. Just didn't have anything inspiring enough to blog about.

Have just returned from our trip to Ladakh. The face of peace appears before me time and again...

Hope to put together a post on oriental/buddhist influence in home decor soon:-)
