Ssome time ago we posted about the “30 of the Most Creative Bookshelves Designs” and today I’ve found two incredible pieces of furniture that are made from cardboard on AT. These pieces are made using a construction technique that Eric Guiomar developed after looking for affordable and lightweight seating. These two pieces look awesome and they are extremely cheap, because they are made o cardboard …and in this economy I’m pretty sure that maybe someone will transform this idea into a business.

Decorating is a lot more than just getting all the fancy stuff from the nearest store and throwing them inside, without any sense of order or form. It is not about how much you can cramp into the given space, but is more like the way you do it to accentuate the beauty of the home with what’s available. Failing to understand this, one often tends to clutter their homes hoping that use of excess accessories will actually bring beauty to the room. On the contrary, it makes your home feel suffocating. Here are a few ways on how you can get rid of the mess and move towards gorgeous interiors.

If you are not using something since long and feel that you will not use it anytime in the future, then just throw it out ruthlessly. You can either have a yard sale for all such stuff or even give them away in charity to people who really need them. There is no point having that old chair you never use or that lonely table in a corner which made way for the brand new one.
#2 Do not buy anything that will be too large for your interiors
If you do not need it or if you feel that certain furniture will be too large for the dimensions of your home then do not buy it. The most important aspect of getting rid of clutter is making sure that you actually do not get more useless stuff into your home. Shop smartly and do not bring things home impulsively. If you do, then you will find that the interiors of your home always appear cluttered no matter how hard you try.

There is stuff lying in our home that we use sparingly, but cannot afford to throw away (”I’ll use/need them at certain point”). This could be all the mess in your bedroom, kitchen and even in your living room. Instead of spreading them all over the home, create a separate storage space and put them in there. No one is going to check it out, so you can shove in. This will assure that the rest of your home feels more spacious.
#4 Decorate each room around a centerpiece
Each room needs to have a centerpiece which will ensure that there is order and method to the way you decorate stuff. The furnishings and accessories must be spaced evenly and need to be spread across the room rather than forced in a single corner. Uneven patches of free and cluttered space make a room look poorly decorated. Your centerpiece could be a fireplace, a TV in the living room or maybe your bed in the bedroom.
#5 Switch to smart furniture and modern shelve spaces
Switching to multi-purpose furniture is a way to save on space immensely and this gives a larger look to your interiors. There are many such options available today which allow you to use a couch as a bed or a center table as dining space. You can also use the folding shelves such as the modern ones provided by IKEA in corridors to hide away the clutter.

By maximizing the available space – using the walls for storage by using hanging shelves for example, you can always create more walking space and avoid the feeling of being cramped in the room.
The key to getting rid of clutter is to ensure that you know exactly what you need and what you can do away with. When your mind is clear, then so will be your home!

This bathtub design by Marco Tallarida won the Bathroom Innovation Award in 2008. The bath tub design is inspired by the natural form of the human body. Its shape resembles that slanting organic posture that we take while bathing. It was consciously designed to minimise the volume of water yet maximize comfort. The bath tub provides a comfortable and emotional experience through various materials, while creating a bold statement in a modern bathroom. – Via – Hometone

These days, more and more people wish to convert their room into a paradise that is filled with stuff they love the most. No matter what you like, you can always convert it into a theme for your room and surround yourself with things that lift your spirits. Modern accessories and the range of decorating freedom available today ensures that you can choose any theme that you want. But with so many options available, which way do you exactly go? This is not just about being impulsive as it involves a lot more thought that you would imagine. Here is a guide to get you started in the right direction.
#1 Pick a theme that you are truly passionate about
We know what you are thinking at this point- ‘this is barely an advice’. But most often people confuse stuff that interests them temporarily with their passion. Thing is that once you pick a theme and are half way through with decorating, you cannot have a sudden change of heart. If you do, it will cost you more time, money and effort. Your passion could be anything, just ensure that it is truly what you want to be surrounded with 24 – 7.
#2 Try taking up a theme for which you can shop locally
This might sound silly, but if you do pick a theme that allows you to bring in your furniture and accessories from the local market, then it saves you tons of money and time. Apart from making life a lot easier, you may also be getting better deals as you will always know the local market a lot better and will feel comfortable shopping at home.
#3 Surroundings and rest of the home
It is a good idea to get a computer generated preview of how the theme would look with the rest of the home and the surroundings. If you live close to a beach, then pick a theme that is similar. If you are surrounded by valleys and mountains, then a greener theme would be great. Though this isn’t compulsory, you can always go the other way and try the contrasting style as well. It’s a matter of individual taste.
#4 Ensure that your theme fits with the space available
Certain themes will require a lot more space than others as they need a far grander look to that adds to the fascinating element. Some others are perfect for smaller rooms. It is always a good idea to pick a theme that you love and also fits well within the available space. Do not try to blindly copy a style that you have seen somewhere in a far more spacious room as it can come off very badly with those dimensions changed.
#5 Plan according to your needs and budget
Remember that you do not have limitless amount to spend on your theme, so pick something that will allow you to decorate your room in an ample fashion while still falling in your budget. Also ensure that the theme does not compromise on the comfort and utility factor of your room. You do not want to get something that is great to look at but uncomfortable to live in.
Picking the right theme for your room is all about mixing the perfect aesthetics with your taste and some wonderful creativity. Themes can vary from the classic favorites like the beach, stars and sky and green living to something unorthodox like sports themes and even movie sets. It is all about going in a direction that your heart and mind point towards!

If you live in a small apartment, and you have a really small kitchen then the Izona Cool Drawer might be something that you’ll like. As you can see, the unit looks more like a standard cabinet than a real deal fridge, and it reportedly does an outstanding job of preserving the few essentials that bachelors and space-constrained citizens keep on hand. It comes with 5 different temperatures – Freezer, Chill, Fridge, Pantry and Wine Storage. The temperatures can be controlled by the press of a button for each temperature on the door of the refrigerator. – Via – Core77 & Gizmodo
