Envelop a room in one color to make it cozy. Here we specified a deep blue color for the walls and a slightly darker tone for the trim for additional definition. I read somewhere that a blue bedroom can lower one’s blood pressure and improve the quality of your sleep
"This finished bedroom, with planning and execution, took four months. The nightstands were custom, the wallpaper handmade, the bedframe, furniture, rugs, lighting and accessories took months to arrive from our vendors. Then we had to consider the electrical work, painting, application of the wallcovering, and the installation of the furniture. The takeaway is that a well-done room takes time, planning and patience, but the outcome is worth waiting for." Read More...
Brighten up your interiors with floral displays, infusing the design with the fresh vitality of nature and adding a touch of luxury and elegance. Both practical and stylish, footstools create an inclusive, welcoming feel in living room designs and can either be matched or contrasted with the sofa fabric.
Then match the colour, style and fabric with the rest of the living room decor and, if possible, centre the sofas in the middle of the room to create a warm, inviting feel. Or make a bold statement by choosing a powerful accent colour sofa fabric, creating a strong focal point within your design. Read More...
Compliment your beautifully designed master bedroom suite with a table for two. Adding a simple table with benches attached or even a couple of chairs or stools can really add some flare. Use that table to play a game, do some paperwork, read a book, whatever your heart desires. Try to match it to the color of your other furniture as well for an even better look.
Following the same idea as the chair in the center of the room, we have the chair in the center of the room, but with a side table and ottoman. This is a nifty decorating idea for bedroom sitting areas because sometimes, you just don't want to lay in bed and watch TV. So why not sit in the chair with your feet up, drink on the table, and eyes on the TV! Read More...
Identify Your Storage Space First: It's always best to locate a storage space before you start boxing everything up. Working backward will save you time and headaches
Opt for Square Containers: Unless you have open shelving, square storage containers are always a better option because they maximize space well. Round containers are giving up a few inches on each side and will never fit flush against a wall. Read More...
Cushions complete a room, adding personality and depth, so don't neglect this excellent opportunity to make your living room interiors sing! Be bold in your choice. Use patterned fabrics and robust colours to add decorative accents that contrast with the sofa fabric and do not blend in. Consider the size of the cushions you use; smaller cushions may be lost on a large sofa, whereas oversized cushions may dominate a smaller sofa
In our St George's Hill project in Surrey, we matched the calming, neutral tones of our bespoke sofa with the soft taupe footstool for an added touch of luxury. Both practical and stylish, footstools create an inclusive, welcoming feel in living room designs and can either be matched or contrasted with the sofa fabric. Read More...
In a perfect world, we'd all have at least 45cm of free space on either side of our beds to adequately vacuum and change the sheets. But, of course, space is fast being put on the endangered species list, which means we can't all go out and pick up King-size designs for our bedrooms.
Cots come in various options, yet those options multiply once your child moves on to the next stage: toddler beds. We recommend one with side rails for safety. Or consider an extendable bed that starts short, at around 140cm, then can be pulled out to a full-size bed as they grow. Read More...
Many high-sleeper designs provide adequate space underneath for a desk, a daybed, shelving or even a wardrobe. And virtually every child staring school thinks bunk beds are fun. Just make sure those bunks are securely joined: check that internal wooden dowelling with cross-fitting screws or metal dowels with intersecting bolts are used, and that the ladder is secure.
And seeing as those toys will accumulate as they grow older, consider one with built-in storage, like a cabin bed or mid-sleeper with drawers and shelves. Or one that has roll-out storage units beneath the mattress. Read More...
Wallpaper can set the tone of the whole room and is a definite ‘must’ on your list of living room furniture ideas to consider. Highly effective in establishing a focal point within the room, you can create a wallpaper feature wall with a strong accent colour or distinctive pattern. This is particularly powerful if you wish to emphasise a fireplace or a stunning piece of artwork.
Striking Statement Chairs. Use a statement chair to create a striking impact within your design. Place a single chair in a contrasting colour to the other lounge seating, powerfully punctuating with your chosen accent colour and adding that distinctive finishing touch to the room. Or opt for a unique chair that will stand out within the design, such as a chaise longue Read More...
At Alexander James Interiors we believe detail is everything. Whilst you don’t want to over-accessorise and clutter your living space, it is important to style key pieces of furniture (e.g. coffee tables and console tables) with accessories to create style within your design.
