Claves del estilo nórdico I

El estilo nórdico está expandiéndose con mucha fuerza por toda Europa, hasta el punto que ya es dificil encontrar una publicación donde no se haga referencia sus colores, a la calidez que aporta, a sus diseños sencillos... Aunque podemos afirmar que la cuna de este diseño han sido los blogs de decoración. 

Los blogs han hecho mucho más cercano el mundo de la decoración, que la información sea más ágil y que algunas tendencias se expandan rapidamente, como en este caso. A grandes rasgos podemos hablar del blanco, de la madera, de los adornos con reminiscencias a la naturaleza son claves. Para conocer más de cerca la decoración nórdica vamos a preguntar a tres bloguer que camparten sus contenidos con nosotros y a las que es un verdadero placer presentar.

1. ¿Cuándo descubriste el estilo nórdico?

A raíz de la construcción de nuestra casa empecé a buscar muchas fotos de decoración. Aunque en principio buscaba algo más "minimalista", empecé a descubrir este estilo que acabó por enamorarme. Ahora visito cientos de blogs noruegos, suecos, suizos...

 

2. Consejos básicos para llevar este estilo a casa

1-Mi primer consejo básico es la sencillez por encima de todo, fuera decoraciones recargadas y superfluas.

2-Mucha luz, mucho blanco y espacios abiertos

3-Decorar con flores frescas, farolillos, muchas velas, pieles en mantas, alfombras y cojines (piel sintética, por favor) y añadir algún clásico de la decoración como por ejemplo la Chair Rocket de Eames 

 

3. ¿Qué consideras indispensable en este estilo?

La sencillez y... tener un gusto exquisito para combinar pequeños elementos de decoración, como por ejemplo centros de mesa hechos con jarrones y velas o saber reciclar unos palets para crear mesas de centro, cabeceros de cama o estantes para libros hechas con cajas de madera para frutas. En definitiva reciclar y saber reutilizar con estilo.

 

4. ¿Por qué te has decidido a ser bloguer?

Decidí abrir un blog por la necesidad de guardar todas las fotos que iba encontrando en la red y en otros blogs que me gustaban y si de paso podían servir de inspiración a más gente pues mejor que mejor. De hecho com más de 100 seguidores y una media de 10.000 visitas por mes estoy más que contenta y satisfecha ya que supera con creces mis expectativas.

5 ideas para guardar los zapatos

Normalmente en cualquier casa se suelen ir amontonando distintos pares de zapatos de varias temporadas, que al final suelen estar guardados de forma desordenada o poco accesible. Para solucionar este problema, tanto de orden como de espacio, hemos recurrido a nuestras usuarias que nos dan diez trucos perfectos para tener en orden los armarios. 

1. Miriss nos propone hacernos con las cajas transparentes de la firma IKEA para ir poniéndolas en el armario y tener siempre los zapatos a la vista. 

2. Heidiviena nos da una idea original que puede quedar realmente estética. Se trata de fotografíar los distintos pares de zapatos y pegar la foto en cada caja para que nos sea más sencillo localizarlos. 

3. Betty Boop nos aconseja si contamos con espacio sufiente hacernos un zapatero a medida para que no haya problema en guardar todos los pares, las botas altas, el calzado de otras temporadas... 

4. Algunas estanterías modulares de la firma IKEA nos pueden hacer de zapatero por un precio más razonable y dándonos una capacidad bastante alta. Las más usadas en el foro son las expedit y las Billy que se adaptan bien a los distintos espacio. Lorena_vlc ha usado los trones de la misma casa. 

5. Por ultimo, en el blog Re-nest hemos encontrado una idea que seguro que os resulta sencilla y muy fácil de llevar a cabo. Los palés cada vez son más versátiles y más usados en todas las estancias de la casa.

Pond kitchen

Women spend more than a quarter of their lives in the kitchen doing different activities there: cooking, washing the dishes and so on. So it would be best to make it a pleasant activity and environment. When you buy a very nice-looking piece of furniture or a funny sink or something else that you like watching and also helps in in the process of cooking or whatever you do there, you will feel a lot better and efficient. Look at this wonderful design of the Pond kitchen! I am sure any person will be happy to use it, whether a woman or a man.

This pond kitchen has a futuristic design and looks incredible. It was designed by the Korean designer Jaehoon Jung from Kamkam. The name is given by the sink that looks like a pond because it is built so as to imitate the shape of a pond with waves. The rest of the place is spread with little “pebbles” that are in fact different buttons that start different appliances in the kitchen. As, you can see from the pictures, this kitchen stand has three sides, so the cook is basically surrounded by it and only has to stretch a hand to reach the utensil they need. Any way, great design even if you won’t be able to buy it soon.

The Perfect, Round Snaidero Acropolis Kitchen

Kitchen is not only a place where you can spend hours, cooking different dishes but it is also a meeting place. Here you can meet your family members and enjoy together a nice breakfast or a delicious lunch.

Usually, a comfortable, tiny kitchen is a great place where you can sit with your best friend and discuss all kinds of staff enjoying maybe a nice cup of coffee. It is like a warm private place where you can feel confident and express all your feelings.

This is the concept for this round Snaidero Acropolis kitchen. Its round shape marks a perfect place where everybody can join and meet each other. Here you can find all the necessary tools which you need for cooking and it is a perfect place where all the members of the family can meet and enjoy a meal sharing all their thoughts and opinions.

It is a comfortable place where its round shape assures the fact that everybody can see everybody.

How To Redecorate Your Home On A Budget - IDEA INTERIOR DESIGN

Small Changes that Make the Biggest Impact: If you are looking to redecorate your home on a budget, consider these tips which require minimal cost and time, but provide maximum impact to any room:

    * Painting: This might seem obvious, but painting a room is the number one way to change its appearance. If you want a peaceful tone in a room, pastels in blues, greens and yellows can instantly make your room a haven of tranquility. If you're going for a more vibrant, energetic feel, brighter hues such as reds or oranges can give this effect. Sound like too much work? Consider an "accent wall". This is a wall that has a different color than rest of the walls in the room. You can then add little touches such as a shelf, picture, plant or that antique console or end table that you never knew what to do with. This wall can become the focal point of your room. You don't have to spend a fortune on paint either, and some of the "designer" brands are no better than the less expensive brands.

    * Slipcovers, cushion covers: If you have a couch or chair that has seen better days, but buying a new one is not in your decorating budget, you might want to try a slipcover. These come in various styles, fabrics & colors with some being loose-ftting & others that stretch & fit tightly over your couch or chair. Keep in mind that you can order custom-fitted slipcovers, but these are definitely more expensive than the regular, off-the-shelf variety. You would be amazed at the difference a slipcover can make in your entire room. Another alternative to a slipcover is a throw or afghan to drape across the back of your couch or chair. Also, just covering your cushions or buying new ones can breathe new life into a tired sofa and brighten up the room. Feeling ambitious? Visit your local fabric store & check out the variety of upholstery fabrics available. You could try just covering your sofa cushions or pillows, or cover the entire couch or chair. There is plenty of information online or in books on reupholstering furniture.

    * Small Touches: As mentioned above, decorating your home on a budget doesn't mean having to spend all your free time doing it. Sometimes just clearing off a cluttered table and adding an inexpensive vase with some fresh (or silk) flowers can refresh a room. Shop around at consignment stores, flea markets and yard sales for second-hand furniture, vases, artwork, etc. If the furniture isn't in perfect condition, but has a few scratches, these can easily be covered with touch-up varnish kits or a coat of paint. Artwork & vases or other decorative items needn't be expensive to make a big difference. Go to a discount store and buy a new pair of inexpensive drapes or a valance to instantly revitalize a room. Window scarves can add a unique and sophisticated look to room as well. For a bathroom, just replacing your old, mildewy shower curtain with a new one can make a huge difference, or add a new throw rug, hand towels or other bathroom accessories instead of doing an all-out remodel.

Create an Oasis No Matter How Small: As a mom to a pre-schooler, I'm no stranger to clutter. And when I look around and see clutter, I immediately start feeling stressed. Since I can't keep my home perfect, or even close, I've found that just clearing off one area, such as my coffee or dining room table(especially if I've been meaning to do it for a long time), can change my mood instantly. Just having one area of calm without clutter, can be an instant mood-lifter.

Also, rearranging the furniture from time to time can breathe new life into a room and open up space you didn't know you had. Indoor fountains and candles are another way to add to your "mini-oasis", and I'm a big fan of both. Nothing is as relaxing as water, and an indoor fountain set either on the floor(the dog or cat may want to use it as his personal circulating water bowl, however), or on your newly-cleared off tabletop can be the perfect calming touch and can also make a big change in the room. To go with your budget decorating, there are many inexpensive indoor fountains available. Place a candle near your fountain and you will instantly create a calm and relaxed mood in your room without breaking the bank. Hanging wind chimes near an open window or a ceiling fan can be very calming. I know all of this may sound a bit like "feng shui", and in fact incorporates some of the elements of it. It might not sound like redecorating, but the point is that small changes can make a big difference in your home and in your mood.
