Bedroom for your little baby girl !

Having a baby is probably the most wonderful news for the parents, and it comes with a lot of preparation and anticipation. I have some wonderful ideas for parents who would love to do up a room for their baby. Because the design and color of the room would be soo vastly different for a baby girl or boy, I am taking it in different posts.

In this post I bring to you some beautiful ways to do up the room. I have done a post before..check it here; here I am showing some designs for a baby GIRL :D They are so precious the little ones that any amount of trouble is still little compared to the joy they bring.

Design in pretty pink with flowers.

What more could be more girlie than pink and pretty flowers. This is so beautiful with butterfly and flowers and lovely shades of pink to it. Go all out and pick up the favourite bits of fabric and design your own room with a little inspiration for this.

Break the monotony with brown and green.

Since pink is a choice by default for all little girl's room. How about using some more colors for a different look. This design is just that with the brown color on furniture, the brown butterfly print shows up beautifully. The green is so refreshing . In all a beautiful way to do up a room for a little cutie.

Pale green with pink and white

How pretty can it get? Pale green to offset white and pink, and a dash of mellow yellow! The design is simple and pretty as it should be, for a little baby. Pink and green is used in various accents too. I love how the lamp shade has been customized. A great way to do up your own.

Too much pink ?

Pink can be a little too much, s how about ivory? or the palest shade of pink possible. This design is fun and cute and pretty and yet not too much of pink. The color red is dominant with a combination of green and blue. love the ruffles and the flowers on the wall.

A hint of Pink ?

Okay we might not like too much of pink maybe but a little hint of pink is still beautiful. This might be just the design for you. Its pretty and not too cluttered yet with the retro touch of circles and cute lamp,not to miss the adorable chair, this design does beg consideration. Love the almost zen affect in it.

Sheer purple with brown.

This might not be a conventional color combination for decorating a baby girl's room but beautiful it is. Purple and brown is a good combination for any area and here the detailing is such that it makes for a very attractive design. Love the itty bitty chandelier there, perfect for a little princess.

Having posted on ways to do up your little princess room I have to do another for the apple of your eye too; one for the little blue eyed boys :) Watch out for it.

Dining room ideas in Yellow !

As said, after doing up living room in yellow I am back with some lovely ideas to use yellow in the most loved space in your home. Yellow is such a vibrant and fun color that using in any room brings in lots warmth and cheer. It blends beautifully with white and a whole range of colors to be among some very versatile. Use it a little or oodles of it, go for the perfect balance for yourself.

Dining room designs in Yellow !

This is for someone who loves to build memories piece by piece with lots of love and memories for posterity. Its lovely in the way the sunlight filters through the window lightning the whole room with white popping againt the pale yellow. I have said before and this bears again how yellow fits in so well with so many colors, the right shade of yellow is the biggest decision you may have to make.

I love the popping pink in the room with dashes of green.So fresh and lovely !

This dining room is in ivory and yellow, with red and green accents thrown in. totally love the hardware on the hutch and the beautiful porcelain. If you really wish to use yellow to its best affect use it in a sunny room, its just to amazing how the room looks to cheerful and fun with light shining in.

This look is specially cool because the walls are a neutral ivory shade and yellow is used only on one piece of furniture. This leaves a lot of scope for redoing the room in other shades as your heart wills, without the pain of repainting the walls.

Yet another dining room which is super elegant and stylish. Everything in this room is hand picked with care and goes to add to the complete effect of the room. The dashes of black in the ivory and pale yellow is the defining factor, see how the black crystal chandelier immediately draws attention.

The shabby chic table among all the beautiful pieces is such an interesting choice and it blends in so beautifully.

After the expensive look above, this look so much more cheerful and fun :) I am soo partial to this ! The vintage looking chairs and milk glass lamp with retro china and glass, I could snag all of them if I could. The look is simple and has a lot of impact. It is carefully chosen and each piece is radiating with positive energy.

I would absolutely love to do up my room like this if there was enough sunlight streaming in.

If painting furniture or wall in yellow is too difficult a decision to make, try with simple elements. How about a table setting in yellow to see if you fall in love with it? As I have said before, yellow is very versatile and a lot of colors go with it beautifully. Choose your shade carefully and you will love it !

If there are any other color you would love to see home design in, leave me a message and I would love to do it too !

Living room ideas in Yellow !

I am so in love with yellow with summer around. Bright and sunny with lots of energy and positive vibe! How about a good look at different ways you can use yellow in your homes, I came across some beautiful designs for all different rooms which beg to be shared :)

Yellow is my favourite specially because it uplifts my mood immediately, who can resist the charm of  sunlight and the immediate warmth (a brighter shade) to the cool lemony. With a hint of green, white or even black (!) give yourself a chance to experience the beautiful color. I here present to you my pick of home ideas in yellow.

Living room designs in Yellow

I like this arrangement for the beautiful mix of colors and the elegance in it. With yellow as the dominant color there is an eclectic mix of red, green, blue, pink and even the golden from the mirror frame. This just goes to show how well yellow allows accent colors to play up. The room looks beautiful with white and yellow and the natural light streaming in.

My favourite are the lovely yellow patterned cushion on the love seat and chair, instant makeover for any room :)

Yellow is a versatile color and blends beautifully with white and black and looks stunning if the mix is right. With just two colors (white and black) this room looks uncluttered yet a very polished and elegant. The white just pops out against the walls while the black adds the sense of drama to  it.

This is a look which is so easy to achieve, keep this as your reference for a stunning look for your living room.

Another layout and expansive room but the color mix remains the same. White and yellow,with a little of back/brown for accent. Simple and clutter free. It has a zen affect. The accents, bottles and vase and the painting all of them mimic the yin and yang with yellow as a muted background.

A unique living room with very interesting elements here.

This next picture is one of my fav for the lovely shades of yellow in it. The pale muted yellow on the wall which shines with style, and the retro whimsical cage light. I love the whole look including the chair which is absolutely gorgeous with the multicolor swirl cushion on it.

The accents are just too cute and I love it !!

A dash of yellow can cheer up any room, from warm to elegant and the numerous shades of it, its just up to your creativity to make it your own. This sunny color goes well with almost all colors , from royal blue to lovely green to pale pink and the dramatic black and white.

I shall bring to you (next post) some designs for Dining room/space. This color is absolutely fantastic for this special space which holds warmth and some of the most beautiful memories for any family.

P.S : Do leave some love and let me know if you have any feedback and requests :)

Home Accents: Designer Wall Clocks -Glam and Stylish !

Wall clocks are an integral part of any home. This common piece of utility can also be interesting and stylish, adding the extra dose of oomph to your walls . Every piece chosen with care, keeping in mind functionality and purpose will surely make the interiors of the room more flattering!

Some of the parameters to be kept in mind when choosing are size, purpose and design. The variety of wall clocks are immense and with a little help from my selection of unique stylish wall clocks you might just find your own unique design.

Study and Home Office

This clock is just soo unique..place it on a shelf and it will masquerade as books and look into it for time. A totally fun and fabulous piece of art :) I would love to recommend it for study or home office. I think even teen's bedroom would be better off with something quite as special as this.

I specially love the colors, they are so bright and lively !!



Living Room

Living room is a open and friendly place which reflects your personality to a great degree. There are a huge number of options available, but I have a better idea for using the walls ! The next three pictures show different styles of the same.

If you like things simple and yet elegant this could be the one. Would be perfect for a beach home, but anyone can get a piece of beach into their living room in this. Its so pristine in looks and stylish at the same time. My pick of a perfect clock for understated elegance.

The sea shells are so interesting in the clear background!

The novelty of having twelve little photo frames assembled as a clock is beautiful !!

The eccentric and fun ! Different views of a globe as markers will surely draw anyones attention..Go for it if its your personality !!

Dining Room

How about a clock for the dining room? With dining room clocks one can choose to place looks before convenience. With emphasis on aesthetics one can be creative and pick interesting designs. Here I have picked one a little on the crazy side and how well it reflects on the style and purpose of the room..Forks and spoons !?! The stainless steel sheen is uber cool and cheerful.

It is sure to be a conversation starter and appreciation guaranteed !


Kitchen

Kitchen clock are a little tricky to pick. It has to be easy to view and also hassle free. With a demanding surrounding of a kitchen a little cheer and sense of humor will surely be much appreciated. Who wouldn't love a cuppa hot tea/coffee to get away from the stress?

The design is super cute and the quirkiness is adorable !

Teen Bedroom

For teens and bachelor pad something more spirited and interest grabbing is required. The next few are just that ! Its exclusive and sporty. It might just be THE thing your room's missing.

This clock is super cute ! Any one can so simple maths but for geeks this clock will be an extension to their personality. Ideal gift for someone maybe :)

How about upcycling your abandoned skateboard ? Its a memento from your childhood, add a simple clock mechanism to it and give it a new lease of life. Same can be used on many other surfaces too.

If space ships and future toys appeal to your boys than this is PERFECT !! The alien arms with bright lights are unconventional and spooky. The piece is so striking that it deserves a corner of its own.

I am sure butterflies clock in black and white or colorful will appeal to many girls. Good solution for a girl's bedroom.

Sun Room and Portico

I totally love this driftwood and shells clock. Perfect for outdoors and difficult to pass !

The carved metal wall decoration has a clock as well. I think it will add a lot of style and grace to any room. Iron makes it durable for a long time too.

Livingroom : Same room with Different looks !

I am amazed at how different color schemes and room accents can transform any room ! Even with the same basic furniture, a living room can speak of different personalities and influences. The set of pictures I am putting up today shows how a simple living room with existing furniture consisting of three seater sofa and a modern coffee table and lamp, can be transformed to look elegant, stylish, bohemian, shabby chic, contemporary etc.

These pictures are bound to inspire you and the combination of colors are stunning to say the least. Look closely and you might just be able to create your perfect design for a living room.

The Romantic Elegant

This setting is uber stylish, lush and romantic. The beautiful shade just brightens up the room with blood red as the focal color the whole setting is just sparkling and eclectic in its feel.

I love the beveled mirror and the fab rug !!

The Kitschy Dynamic

If you love dynamic then this is just that !! The pattern, vibrancy and truly eclectic combination of colors gives the room a real edge. The atmosphere is so cheery and the selection of artifacts is truly unique. Each and every corner has its own story to tell.

This room is not for the ordinary and it speaks volumes about style and personality !

The Pure and Meditative

You love the look of white ! The color is sleek as well as sophisticated and with just the right amount of creativity and interesting mix of pieces the whole look can be awe inspiring. The room is in some ways pure and meditative with the monochromatic scheme weaving magic here !

The mannequin and the little pig in white are such interesting focal pieces !

The Casual Contemporary

This casual contemporary and totally modern take on the living room is fantastic ! The laid back and easy going attitude is easily showcased, and very carefully created by an interesting mix of medium. We have here blown up art and black ceramic vases with unique wooden art thrown it too. The color orange is known as a color for joy and conveys sociability and confidence.

The sheer riot of colors in this room makes it one of my favourite here !

The Classic Elegant

This look is just so different from the one above that its difficult to imagine that the existing furniture are the same. The whole look is elegant and almost bordering on formal. The clean lines and classic furniture give the room a modern and sharp look.

The wooden coffee table balances the black and white furniture perfectly to make it harmonious.

The Vibrant Whimsical

The color scheme here is that of black and white but with teal blue in the background. Teal is by far one of the most vibrant colors..and makes for some very uncommon but beautiful combination. The black and white echoed in the frames, rug and cushion adds to the vibrancy to the room and adds to the visual appeal !

The arrangement of frames on the wall is so curious and add a certain whimsy to the whole room !

Sofa Covers and Cushions : Designs and combinations !!

I am have been looking for some inspiration for dressing up my sofa in some lovely colors and uplifting the mood of the entire room :) And what an amazing collection of pictures I have to share with all of you !! Sofa and love seats in neutral are simple and easy options but if you really need to add that extra oomph to your room decor and make is really appealing look no further.


Sofa covers in themselves are not enough, combine some amazing mix of cushions in lovely colors and tones and you will have a winner ! Interestingly its not just the Sofa cover and cushions but also the carpet or rug that makes the complete combination. Take a look at each of these pictures and see for yourself how each of them add to the complete look :)


So lets get into discussing these lovely designs and colors, get inspired to create your own rooms and design the best for yourself !!

Sofa Covers : Combination and Designs

I Love this for the sheer simplicity !! Ivory white and green and a lot of light streaming in, what a lovely ambiance it creates. The rug is so amazing...with the weaving and knots. Add to it the wall hanging and the cushions with plants and leaf motifs in the same color. Totally Fab !!

Combination : Ivory white + Yellow green

Pink and Yellow is not a usual combination, but in pastel shades they just left me asking for more ! This design will transform any livingroom, The sofa cover in pale pink is so gorgeous with the whole set of cushions in various colors inspired by the carpet and wall hanging.

This living room echos of a set of colors reflected in the floor rug, cushions and the wall painting. Truly inspiring !

Combination: Pink+Blue+Yellow(all in pastel)
