Modern Apartment Interior Design

This apartment is located on level 16 of a circular 18 storey high tower in Darling Point, Sydney and takes up the whole floor. The location allows occupants to gain extensive views of the harbour, its bridge and the Opera House. Its latest interior design is done in modern style which maximize 360 degree views potential by Stanic Harding.

Spaces are radial than orthogonal and each room has as good connection to full window bays as possible. The ceiling treatment in the public spaces is designed to enhance this circular sense by installing thin, flush fitting fluorescent strips radiating out to the perimeter. This provides for a stronger and cleaner ceiling plane that is contributing to the quality of the space. The central core responds to the perimeter with the curved surface made up of beautifully finished panels upholstered in a padded wool fabric. These are either fixed or are secret doors to storage or robe areas. Vertical strip lighting located at set centres divide panels and provide feature or mood lighting.

Interior Design - A Few Design Ideas For Decorating a Large Bedroom

Bedroom Interior Design
Designing a plain oversized bedroom can be a huge challenge to undertake. With its size, such a room can be difficult to decorate and creating a cozy atmosphere can be a little tricky. You have to be able to combine all the element designs seamlessly flowing all throughout the whole room. Every piece of furniture has to fit just right with all the ornaments to be incorporated. But this demanding feat can be accomplished just as long as you plan your time well and come up with a little ingenuity. To help you further along in coming up with creative ideas in designing you bedroom, here are a few suggestions.

The most initial thing you have to do is to plan and keep everything simple with a touch of artistic sense here and there. Just because the room is big, it does not mean you have to fill it up with a lot of furniture and ornaments. Start by picking out a nice bed or a small couch.

Your bed is the most basic thing in the room. Because the room is so large, it does mean you have to position it against the wall. It is preferable for a bed to face a direction where it will not be seen by someone entering the bedroom. You can add a little privacy to it by placing a large dresser with the back of it to the headboard. Placing folding floor screens at the head of the bed is also a good idea. Find side tables that will look well with your bed. Round tables are perfect side tables if you want to deviate from the traditional nightstands.

You can add a little bit of sophistication to your room by hanging up abstract metal wall art. This beautiful decorative piece on your wall will add interest to a space in such a simple way. Change the effect by hanging in a different angle or placing it in the most unusual location. It can be large or small depending on the exact look you want to achieve for your room. You can hang one piece for a simple look or multiple ones for a more inspired result.

To make decorating a whole lot easier, it is recommended you divide the room in three zones. In this way, you can focus on one part in different times. These three zones may be the lounging area, dressing area and most importantly the sleeping area. The bed can be your center point and placed in an area you are most comfortable in. For the lounging are, you can place small comfortable couch or chairs where you can sit and read. Place dressers and mirrors for your dressing area. You can group this furniture together and add a chair that you can sit on while dressing. A good suggestion would be placing a beautifully decorated folding screen to block the view from your dressing area as well as create a stylish accent.

A large room calls for large furniture. A king size bed with double pillow top mattress will fit perfectly with this type of room. Place a sophisticated bench or a large chest at the foot of the bed. If you have a more modern look in mind, placing a cabinet with television at the foot of the bed is an alternative option.

A large room often offers an odd shape. Take advantage of this and create corners with distinctive ideas. Its either you hang up an abstract metal wall art or place a beautiful folding screen, it's really up to you. Experiment with different furniture and let your imagination guide you.

Bedroom Interior Design Basics For The Beginner

Bedroom Interior Design
People are often confused with the concepts of bedroom interior design and bedroom interior decoration. Not a few believe that these concepts rae one and the same, although in reality, they are two different things – although they may both pertain to changing the look of a bedroom.

In order to better comprehend what each term refers to, we will first examine the elements that play a part in bedroom interior design and how it is related to interior decoration.

More Than Just A Sleeping Area

Times have changed and so have bedroom's purposes. Due to technology and changes in lifestyles, a bedroom often doubles up as a home office or an exercise area. Sometimes a homeowner may even opt to have a settee in one corner of the bedroom where he or she can have tea with a friend or a partner.

In any case, the bedroom interior design will largely depend on what the owner intends to use the space for. The designer may have to do some research on the homeowner's hobbies and activities or whatever goals he has for the outcome of the bedroom.

This is the reason why if the room owner intends to hire a professional to do the bedroom interior design, it is important for them to spend time to discuss their thoughts so that the result would be exactly what the client wants.

Planning the Bedroom Interior Design

Many designers consider this step to be more difficult the the actual work itself. When planning a design for the bedroom, a lot of designers take advantage of user-friendly modeling programs to help them come up with graphic representations of their ideas.

Alternatively, concept sketches could still be used, for as long as they serve the purpose of concretizing the ideas that have been discussed. During this stage, the furniture that will serve well, depending on the planned functions of the bedroom, are selected.

In addition, the color scheme and the window treatments to be used for this particular bedroom interior design are carefully chosen and put together. Finally, the accessories and other decor such as lamps, vases, or paintings are added to the plan.

This means that apart from the bedroom's interior decor, bedroom interior design is also concerned with the room's framework, use of space, and all the furniture needed to serve the intended function of the room.

How It All Comes Together

Working on a bedroom interior design may not be as easy as it's made out to be. In some ways, the project entails recruiting the help of an engineer or sometimes a contractor to bring the concept to fruition.

Unlike a simple paint job or furniture rearrangement, bedroom interior design involves ensuring that all the changes to be made conform to a safe and functional design, no matter how minor the changes may be. In this sense, the interior designer also acts as a "project manager" of sorts. For more info http://bedroominteriordesigning.blogspot.com/
In summation, while the interior decoration of a bedroom involves altering the space's looks, including wall hangings, carpeting, or paint, bedroom interior design is known to be more comprehensive, as it includes the functional use of space and furniture.

Finally, bedroom interior design should also incorporate the essential elements of aesthetic design. After all, a bedroom that fulfills its occupant's goals in terms of functionality must also serve as his or her haven – and to be one, it must be pleasing to the eyes.

Embellished Sweater Headband Tutorial

Have you noticed that headbands seem to be coming back in-style?  I have always loved headbands and I think they are super cute way to enhance an outfit! 

As you have read in my previous posts, I love repurposing items.  Several weeks ago I repurposed a woman's sweater and turned it into a little girl's cardigan (remember this post?)  Well, when I was transforming the sweater into one that would fit my daughter, I cut off the bottom 2-3 inches of the sweater to make it the right length for her.

I kept seeing that strip of felted sweater laying around my craft area and finally decided to do something with it.  In the most recent issue of "Altered Couture" magazine a woman took many different tops and turned them into really neat embellished headbands, so I decided to do the same.  Here is my tutorial on how to make an embellished sweater headband:

Embellished Sweater Headband Tutorial

Supplies:

1 plastic headband

3 scraps of fabric

Embroidery Floss

Fusible Interfacing (I used Wonder Under)

Scissors

13" - 15" long strip of sweater material (2"-3" wide)

Pencil

Hand Sewing Needle

Sewing Machine

Directions:

Cut 3 different sized circles.  You will need 2-small sized, 2-medium sized, and 1-large sized.  You will also need a front and back of each circle.  For example if you need 2-small sized, then you will need to cut 4 circles.  You will also cut fusible interfacing for each circle set - 2-small sized, 2-medium sized, and 1-large sized.

I just used some different objects around my house to make these circles (i.e. a cup, the lid to a jar).  The exact sizes are as follows; small - 2 inch, medium - 3 inch, large - 3.25 inch.  But just make them whatever size you like.

Use fusible interfacing for each circle set to bond the front and the back together.  This will give each circle some stability and structure.  Follow the instructions for whatever brand of interfacing you are using.

After you have fused all of the circles together, fray-check around the edges so that your circles stay neat.  If you like the frayed look, then feel free to skip this step.

Now, onto making the actually sweater headband.

Fold your sweater strip in half and pin.

Sew your fabric strip so that you form a tube.

This is what your sweater tube will look like after you sew it together.

Now you need to turn your sweater tube right-side out so that your seam is on the inside.

Now slide your plastic headband inside of the sweater tube.

Sew your sweater tube closed around the headband.  Cut off excess sweater material.

Now hand-sew your circles onto your sweater headband.  You can do this however you like - I chose to layer the circles and added decorative stitching around the exterior of each circle with embroidery floss.

PS:  Sorry, the picture above is not the best - it was my best effort at taking a picture of myself wearing the headband.

Cottage Mama's Note:  If you are making this for a child, then reduce the size of your circles.  Also, if you prefer a more subtle headband, then you can simply do the sweater portion and omit the circles - that looks cute too!!
