As the season changes, the desire to renew your furniture makes itself manifest. So why don’t you combine the wish for a new atmosphere with the contemporary allure of the new fall/winter color trends? Here are some suggestions on the most fashionable colors of the moment, inspired by 2018 furniture trends and the shades chosen by the Pantone Institute. Pink. Delicate shades, discrete elegance, pastel paints. Pink is once again the protagonist, enlivening the grey monotony of rainy days with its relaxing harmony. Preferable in its powder and bon ton nuances, which you can combine with white and mint green. Quilts, curtains, and furnishings you should use with moderation to avoid a cloying effect. Blue. Turquoise is the real 2018 fall/winter must. Even better if contrasted with a warm shade of orange. Choose them combined for armchairs and cushions, beds and carpets, furniture and furnishings. The result will be so pleasing that you can push it a bit and include doors and walls. If you’re thinking of a wall with a flush-to-the-wall door, it is the moment to use these colors in deliberate contrast. Purple. A magical color, rich in effect and symbolism. Recommended for introspection and an inclination for meditation. Splendid if combined with dove-grey or metallic textiles, with almond beige and brilliant white. Green. Greenery is the emblematic color of 2017. Like all shades inspired by nature and foliage – from lime to sage green – it can be effectively combined with light blue and powder blue. Ideal for details and furnishings, like small energy pills scattered all over the house. Yellow. The most effective cure for an dull winter? A bright yellow to light up the atmosphere. One of the best loved colors of fall, it can be used with neutral colors or combined with shades of rust and dark green.

Suffused atmospheres, magical allure, and strategical spot lighting: here are some ideas to light your gazebo for an unforgettable summer evening Are you anxious to enjoy the sweet summer evenings on your terrace or in your garden? The first step to enjoy it fully is lighting the gazebo properly. Whether your aim is a dinner with your friends or a sweet solitary moment of relax, strategic lighting is fundamental. Naturally, every occasion calls for a different lighting, as does every style of furniture. So here are some recommendations by Invisible-Door you can adapt to your personality. Fireflies and lanterns: a soft intimate setting for romantics. Do you love the burning flame of candles, but don’t want to give up gazing up at the stars? The solution for you are lanterns, or strings of hanging LED or incandescence lightbulbs. Drape them around the structure and you’ll obtain an alluring effect. Choose lights and lanterns designed for out of doors, or remove them immediately after supper to avoid short circuits. Aside from purchasing different kinds of lights to brighten your gazebo and outdoor areas, you can also resort to DIY solutions. For example, you can place small candles inside little glass jars and hang them, or arrange them on the table. The effect is guaranteed and the moon will not be dimmed. Spotlights and floor lamps: for those who like to see clearly. It’s fine to be romantic, but in the case of a dinner with friends, practicality comes first. Careful not to overdo it though. If darkness isn’t your accomplice, too much light can also be annoying. Spotlights, big and small, no matter how effective, should be used sparingly. Better to choose those with adjustable intensity and direction. Outdoor floor lamps are also possible solutions to light the gazebo and the garden. Much depends on how much space you have and which surfaces and walls are nearby. Pay Attention to the Table: light is served. Do you like to put people at the center of the scene? Place the lights on the table to channel attention to the conviviality of the moment. There are certainly plenty of creative solutions. Aside from the aforementioned candles, you can get LED strings and wrap them around the serving dishes at the center of the table. Or wind them around colored glass bottles, turning them into unique lamps. Choose warm lights that aren’t too intense so as not to risk blinding your guests. After all, that’s what you’re there for.

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.
