From your wardrobe to the furniture, through colors: 3 decluttering strategies for your interiors “Decluttering,” i.e. getting rid of superfluous stuff. Originally an oriental philosophy which is increasingly appreciated even in interior design. It is known that the neatness of your surroundings affects your psyche and your personal serenity. Sometimes, however, the idea of a systematic decluttering of the house evokes the phantom of an epic endeavor we give up on even before we begin. So here are 3 simple tips to undertake this path calmly and without stress. Decluttering your wardrobe: if you’re not wearing it, why keep it? It may seem like a banal suggestion, but we know quite well that it isn’t. Our wardrobes contain more than we wear. Clothes that have gone out of fashion, don’t fit, or don’t suit you any longer. Why keep them? Realistically ask yourself how long it’s been since you last wore them and, taking advantage of the seasonal wardrobe change, eliminate the surplus. You can swap the good ones with friends or give them to charity. If you have serious doubts about some, there’s a foolproof trick: pile them all in one box inside the closet. If you don’t open it even once within the next year, you know what you’ve got to do. Decluttering your home: no knick-knacks on the furniture Knick-knacks, pieces of paper, objects and furnishings. Which did you choose consciously? Which are useful or give the room atmosphere? And which are there by chance (or because someone gave them to us?)? It’s time to tidy up. Eliminate all the useless objects that inhabit shelves and tables, nobody will blame you or will really miss them. You don’t know where to begin? From any room, without any rush. It will be enough to dedicate fifteen minutes a day to this operation, and before you know it, order will reign supreme. Decluttering interiors: no excesses Sometimes disorder is in the detail. Gaudy colors, furniture piled up in a small space, baroque or pretentious furnishings and décor. All these elements can give the impression of a messy space though nothing is actually “misplaced.” This is the most difficult step to undertake, because in time you tend to get used to your own clutter and your own home. But try to observe it with new eyes and see if something seems out of place. If you’re in the mood for housework, consider structural changes inspired by sobriety. Wall kitchens, flush to the wall walk-in closets, sliding doors without frames and casings. Or container beds or new wallpaper. You will notice that even a single element can influence the overall effect enormously.

3 practical and effective ideas to furnish a small office that isn’t suffocating Furnishing a small office can be a real enterprise. Not just because some professions require massive amounts of papers and volumes that alone will clutter up the space, but also because a small office is not necessarily meant to welcome only one person. How then to avoid an unpleasant piling up that slows down production and puts everyone in a bad mood? Here are 3 solutions to furnish a small office and get the most out of it. Choose your furniture wisely. Nothing will give you back the space wasted by ineffective furniture. This is why your choice should be scrupulous. Prefer fold-out desks, ready to come to your aid and then be folded away when they’re not strictly necessary. For offices with several people, a multiple station desk is a useful solution for brainstorming, and it’s space efficient. Aside from wall-desks, you can consider an island option, depending on the shape of the room. Another fundamental piece of furniture is the file cabinet. Choose one that is capacious enough to hold everything that would otherwise be strewn around on the work surfaces. If you aren’t sure about the size, you can opt for a modular solution. Eliminate excess, even in structure. It’s not only the furniture that takes up space. When you don’t have much room, even opening a door can be difficult. Eliminate the opening arch using simple sliding panels. Practical flush-to-the-wall doors, in glass or plasterboard, will lighten the atmosphere and separate with discretion. Appearances count too. The design of your office not only contributes to the impression your clients will get of you, but it also influences your own mental attitude and your aptitude for facing the workday. Aside from the care for details and style, you should adopt strategic solutions for effective optical effects. While white walls light up the ambiance, avoiding the sense of suffocation, a mirrored wall, properly chosen, will double the image of the office. Absolutely avoid dark colored walls and be careful not to overcrowd them with bulletin boards, paintings, and knickknacks.

Suffused atmospheres, magical allure, and strategical spot lighting: here are some ideas to light your gazebo for an unforgettable summer evening

Are you thinking of giving your house a new style but you don’t know where to begin? Here are 3 ideas you can use for inspiration. When you are thinking of refurbishing a house, you often envisage it as a colossal endeavor. You risk giving up, losing the chance of living a new experience. In fact, renovating interiors is an operation that brings many benefits. It is a veritable balm for the spirit that inspires you to change and improve. So here are some ideas for an easy, but quite effective, restyling. It is up to you to use them as a starting point or to consider them your sole objective. Home restyling: first of all, get comfortable. To reflect, of course. On your budget, for example. But also to best study the comfort and style of the seats. In fact, one of the most effective moves when restyling your home is playing with chairs and sofas. If you’re willing to spend a bit, furnishing your kitchen and living room with colored wooden benches and chairs will give the rooms a completely different look. If you prefer to spend a little less, you can choose to paint them yourselves or reupholster couch and pillows. The trick is in choosing effective colors and designs, original or in contrast with the furniture. The result is guaranteed. Make way for color: fantasy is at home. A second step for home restyling is rethinking the color of the walls. Color psychology is fundamental here: remember that some colors are relaxing and soothing, others favor concentration. Choose tonalities that interact with your furniture and you’ll get the feeling you have a new house. If you have flush-to-the-wall doors, use them as contrasting surfaces or with decorative functions. If you’re afraid of making drastic interventions, just concentrate on a single wall. An effective color will be sufficient, or an intriguing chalkboard paint for a unique touch. Keep your feet on the ground, and keep an eye on where they rest. Are your floors an incompatible mosaic of styles and materials? Choose them as a starting point to make order in your house’s aesthetics. For example, opt for practical and uniform wooden floorboards, renewing the floor with essential class. You will find many beautiful options for sale at different prices.

Enough with those shelves crowded with tubes and bulky towels: here is how to keep your bathroom tidy in three simple moves Do you wish your bathroom were always tidy but find yourself fighting with chaos on a daily basis? Don’t worry, you are not alone. The most intimate part of your house is also the most difficult to handle. Here the bottles and phials that are the custodians of our beauty come together with bulky bathrobes and ungainly towels. Besides, hurrying in the morning and not having much time in general, doesn’t help in the effort of keeping everything under control. But a comfortable, clean bathroom is at the root of domestic peace. Not to mention an important feather in your cap when visitors come calling. So here are a few precious recommendations for furnishing your bathroom with comfort and tidiness in mind. The ultimate trick: how to organize tubes and bottles. Let’s face it, one of the major obstacles of a tidy bathroom is the scattering of products on the shelves. Makeup, brushes, creams, and lotions, but even just toothpaste tubes, mouthwash, and cotton buds. How to get ahead of it? If you have a cabinet with drawers, a solution is to outfit it with white, metal, or colored silverware trays. That way you’ll just be able to open a drawer and easily find the items you need, divided into practical compartments. If your cabinet doesn’t have drawers, you can hang transparent organizers on the inside of the door. That way the shelves will be more empty and you won’t have to move everything to find an item. Visible towels, but with class! The typical image of an untidy bathroom is that of towels strewn all over the place or hanging lopsided on their rack. to prevent this from happening to your bathroom, you can choose an alternative solution. For example: rolling up the towels and placing them in a wicker basket in plain sight. The effect is unique and pleasant, and it makes it more difficult to misplace them. Don’t throw it all in the toilet: toilet paper solutions. Toilet paper rolls are a real nuisance in space-saving aesthetics. Where will you store your spares? The ideal solution would be a hidden compartment with a flush-to-the-wall panel. Built into the wall or drywall, it will make it possible to store as many roles as you need while making them totally invisible. Elegant, but also very functional when you need more space, like when you’re furnishing a small modern bathroom.
