With this rate of exploding population it is obvious that we need to live in compact houses. Small houses do not exactly mean that it’s not beautiful; in fact what you have is more important than how much of it you have.
Now, if you want to make a small room look spacious, there are many ideas which you can work upon. One of the most splendid ideas would be that of adding mirrors to the room. Placing a mirror to any room will not only make it look more spacious but will also make the room brighter, especially if you place it opposite to a window.
You can also have mirrored wardrobes which will beautify the wardrobe and enhance the room as well. You can have plain elegant mirrors as well as fine decorative ones. It is upon your choice and the type of décor you have in your room.

Filed Under Windows & Blinds | Leave a Comment
French windows always add to the beauty of your home. These windows are every owner’s pride. These windows not only add to the beauty of your home, they can be the best place to sit and read in those rainy days when you are stuck at home. However make sure that you keep these windows clean. Here are a few ways by which you can do so-
1) Most French windows have window grids. These grids can be fixed or removable. If your grids are new then all you need to do is dust it and wipe clean with a moist cloth. If however your grids are old you can consider giving it a wood finish.
2) You can clean the rest of the window by using a large sized dry cleaning towel. With this you can dust the sitting area, and the small roof above it.
Make sure that your favorite window always remains neat and clean.

Tips to maintain your carpets and rugs
Filed Under Home Care | Leave a Comment
You need to take proper care of your carpets and rugs to prevent them from getting damaged. You can use shaving cream to clean your carpet. You need to apply the shaving cream and allow it to rest on the carpet for about 30 minutes. Remove the cream with a cotton cloth which is dry. Next rinse the area with a solution of vinegar and water.
You can also use brake cleaners to clean carpets and rugs. If you have food stains, then using brake cleaner is very good. Do not pour the cleaner directly on the carpet as it may damage the yarns. Regularly clean your carpets and rugs by vacuuming them. Do not use shampoo to rinse your carpet.
Do not put your furniture and other heavy stuff on the carpet before drying the carpet properly. If your carpet is wet and you put say a sofa on it, it will start giving off a bad smell.

Perfect summer décor for your kid’s room
Filed Under Kids Room | Leave a Comment
Are you planning to refurbish your kids’ room this summer? Well it’s a great idea and here are some special tips to help you out. It’s better to go for the lighter shades this time like white, pink, blue, lemon yellow, pale cream or light green. Stay away from the brighter tones as they would heat up the room.
Then, change the heavy winter curtains from windows and go for the cotton ones matching up with the color of your walls. Also, take care to alter the color of the kids’ bedding and cushions. Replace the dark velvet pillow and bed covers with lighter cotton ones bordered by thin laces. Remove the rug and place a funky cartoon patterned doormat in place.
It’s good to hang small potted plants from the windows as it brings a fresh feel to the room. Otherwise, decorate the walls with little floral designs. Besides, keep your little one’s room clean and clutter free which will always give off a fresh feel as the kids return home after a sweaty afternoon.
