Besides the architectural details it can bring to a room, a folding screen can also cover those imperfections that usually cannot be removed. It’s also an easy way to dress up a room bringing in pattern and color.

Lucite furniture also known as acrylic furniture can do great to any interior. Apart from lightening up any room decor due to its light visual weight it also reflects and flows the light in the room. It’s perfect for small spaces and against a graphic wall.
In this bedroom designed by Ruthie Sommers the coffee table is almost invisible while still reflecting light.
The lucite side table provides comfort to the person sitting on the chair without taking any visual effect. Designed by Williamson Design.
I love the use of this lucite chair in front of this painted Chinese desk.
Peekaboo side tables and console for CB2. I would love to see the console in a small entrance.

A beautiful crystal chandelier can do to a room what the appropriate fashion accessory can do to an outfit. That often-underestimated chandelier can add that final touch to your room and infuse the mood you are looking for. Chandeliers are considered ambient lighting, a technique that is used to illuminate that specific space and its close surroundings. Far are the days when this type of lighting was used only above our dining rooms or in our living rooms. Now-a-days we can see chandeliers in bathrooms, foyers and kitchens. Its openness and crystals make them a great alternative to add sophistication to a small space without compromising visual space. A chandelier’s versatility is endless; it can be used in traditional or modern rooms. In this first room below, designed by Tom Scheerer, blends effortlessly with the romantic mood.
For those of us who love modern design, this room below shows us how much this type of lighting can enhance a modern-furnished room and add that special touch of elegance.
I love the romantic touch that this chandelier adds to this French inspired decorated space below.
In the living room below, a touch of ambient lighting creates a very smooth and fresh atmosphere. Chandeliers are not only for traditional design spaces anymore they can be applied to any home decor style.
I like to customize everything I buy. Even if it is an Ikea kitchen cabinet. My husband is always asking me why I like to complicate things. Well, it’s not that I like to complicate, it’s just that I think that customized items and furniture are more exciting and special than those we purchase off the shelf. Customization doesn’t always have to be expensive or done by professionals. We can do it ourselves by upgrading little details that can make a huge difference. For example, I like this cozy kitchen corner display (top image) that usually only custom-made cabinets have. But we all can get this look easier than we think. I put together a sample board showing how this can be done. First, you need two or three open cabinets, you can do this by removing the doors. Then, cover the interior of the cabinet with a wood grain wallpaper, install the china plate display that you can get here. This display can be cut to fit any length of open space and it comes in different colors. Add a few hooks from the lower shelf ceiling and hang a few of these very cool cups. Add accessories to decorate and you are all set. Try to incorporate different textures and colors like colorful plates, small porcelain bowls, cast aluminum salt and peper, etc.
Gold is one of my favorite colors when it comes to accessories. It represents glamor better than any other color. Kelly Wearstler, one of my favorite designers, is perhaps the one who uses it best. The first picture shows the Roller Suite designed by Kelly Wearstler in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Below are a few cool gold accessories that I find represent glamor perfectly. Clockwise, silk chiffon dress, Jessica McClintock clutch, cocktail plate stand, artichoke flower shaker, Betsey Johnson necklace, solid gold pen set, Kaleidoscope, and alma fortune cup and saucer.
