The bathroom became an essential private space in the house, a relaxing retreat and occupants spend more and more time in it.

Mirrors are an important element in bathroom design as they can reflect both natural and artificial light and create illusion of a larger space when strategically placed.

DESIGN

Kids’ bedrooms are multifunctional spaces where they can sleep, study, play, daydream, and spend time with friends. Whether it is a girls’ or boys’ room decorating, the rooms’ design ideas should be adaptable to the kids’ needs and interests which change as they are growing up.

A kid’s room should be spacious, attractive and well organized providing ample storage in order to avoid a clutter desk and floor. Consequently, the interior design should maximize space in a kid’s bedroom and combined with a selection of space saving bedroom furniture should create a comfortable and functional bedroom.

The bed should not overwhelm the space. A bed providing space underneath for a desk or for playing is a good selection. Alternatively a platform bed with drawers underneath is suitable for kids who don’t like climbing up to the bed.
