When a room seems boring, it is often the light that is to blame....

KNOW-HOW

If you want to give a brand new look to your space, and make it look larger, brighter and fresher, without spending a fortune then you should start thinking about making some changes to your lighting scheme. Although, it is best to design a lighting scheme at the earliest stages, however changes and improvements can be made whenever is needed. After all, is quite hard to know from the beginning how a room will be used and where furniture will be placed.

For professional interior designers, lighting is one of the most powerful tools. Interior designers, home stagers, architects and decorators, they all use light to highlight specific areas, to accentuate artwork, to make color look more vivid, to give emphasis to textures and shapes and to set the overall mood. Light, can be even manipulated to disguise problematic areas, to make spaces look warm or cold, intimate of formal and much more. It is true, that when a room seems boring, bland and lifeless, it is either the color scheme or the lighting scheme that is to blame.

Pendant lights are an excellent choice for the living room and dining room. Iron pendant lights are durable and suitable for many decorating styles, such as industrial, cottage, modern, minimal style, etc. Choose and hung a remarkable industrial pendant light over the dining table to create a dramatic atmosphere and a stunning focal point. Make sure it is hung above eye level.

Bross: the new table Amalong is designed by Giulio Iacchetti

DESIGN

AMALONG table07, designer table, contemporary dining table, extendable dining table

Its catchword is versatility, the result of the best Italian craftsmanship tradition. With Amalong, Giulio Iacchetti scored the second episode of his collaboration with Bross, radically changing the ingredients of the recipe: if Ademar suggests a collection of important tables, with generous dimensions, almost statuesque with their elliptical or round shape, Amalong wants instead to be an eclectic project, attentive to the different needs of use.

Frameless Mirrors: Do or don't?

KNOW-HOW

There are different kinds of mirrors used in decorating modern bathrooms. One of them is the frameless mirror offering a sleek, modern look. It is a popular choice especially for modern designs since it gives that contemporary and elegant look, not to mention the illusion of more space.

Popular in high design, especially in larger bathroom, frameless mirrors take up all the space on the wall above your vanity, from the top of the backslash all or nearly all the way up to the ceiling, and often all the way across the wall horizontally. Since they are made of a single large piece of glass, they can be quite costly, but they offer the fullest reflection of any type of bathroom mirror.

What are the characteristics of a flameless mirror? Should you pick a flameless design instead of a framed alternative?

To begin with, quality frameless mirrors designed for bathrooms mirrors are specially sealed on backing and edges in order to stand up to the heat and humidity that comes from your shower. This is done to keep steam and moisture from penetrating the mirror. Expect to pay more for properly sealed and quality mirrors since when it comes to quality, you get what you pay for so you have to make sure your newly bought bathroom mirror has the above feature to avoid watching your mirror fog and degrade within a short time, despite your investment in them. Make sure you express that your mirrors will be exposed to moisture and humidity and that they should be sealed.

Secondly, frameless mirrors are much easier to clean than framed alternatives since there are no edges and dust cannot be accumulated within them. However, the edges are much sharper so be extra careful about using frameless designs if you have small children around.
