ABC’s of Fine Design

I love finding new places to by any type of furniture. It’s nice to have choices and when it comes to modern design it’s really nice to have choices. If your looking for something that is a little different from the modern furniture your friend has you should check out www.temahome.com. There selection of modern decor is very unique and stylish.

Tema home is a company out of Portugal and is very eco friendly in fact they are members of the EU’s green dot society. The company was created in 1981 and produced furniture for some of the most well known and largest companies in the world. In 2006 the Terma Home concept of unique personal style was born and handpicked designers were found to help create that uniqueness.

One of my favorite pieces is this shelf unit called Ivy, I’m sure it is named that because it looks like ivy climbing up a wall. It can be used not only against a wall as a shelf, but as you can see from the picture it can also be used as a room divider and can create a great focal point in a room that may be without one. This shelf comes in White, wenge and chocolate colors.

Another nice piece that Tema Home has in this modern Sono Queen bed. It’s simple and elegant and is very useful. It is only available in the wenge color but does have matching dressers and nightstands. This is the perfect bed for anyone who is into simple modern design. It has such clean lines and really works well in a modern style home.

Tema home has it’s heart in the right place when it comes to green design and is now looking at the US market. They are not cheep but if you are looking to splurge on style and have a unique look in your home, they are the company to go to.

One thing I like to stress is buying things that are unique and different. Most of the time I talk about importing things from exotic countries. Well today I want my fellow united states citizens to think not only of there country, but their wallets and our economy. That is why you should buy your home furnishings and other decor items from companies that make them in the good old USA.

The following companies have furniture made in the USA, check back next week for made in the USA lighting

Baker Furniture Company

Mobel Inc

I always love finding deals online, I’m sure your like me and love to shop and shop and shop. I love looking at new items and trends. The latest decor is always at your finger tips when it comes to the Internet and usually you can get a great deal on things you can’t buy anywhere else. Examples are handmade vases from India, or China. That amazing chest from Ireland that was on sale by a man who made it for his late wife, but has decided to sell it to make ends meet. Or wonderful carvings and woodwork from Africa.

I recommend shopping online for home decor because you can get such great deals. You do have to be safe though when your online and giving out information so make sure you watch out for sites that may trystealing identity information from you. Really what I’m saying is only shop sites that you know to be good sites. Any I give you for instance. You really don’t want to give away all of that money you have saved and earned that could go to getting you that new bathroom, okay so we all know it’s really just going to fill your gas tank, but we can dream right?

Modern design is all about simple clean lines and relaxing decor. Yes it can also have a ton of color and pop out at you, but when it comes to a bedroom you want it relaxing right? When looking for bedroom decor you want to keep it simple if your going for the modern look. Decide if your going to use wood or metal in your room and then go from there.

You then need to decide what kind of bed you would like to have. Do you want a nice big tall bed that stands out and makes a statement. Maybe one you have to have stairs to get into, or do you want one that is lower to the ground so you can just fall into it.

After you pick out the bed you have another choice to make, do you want the frame of the bed to stand out from the bedding you choose or do you want them to bend together to make one seamless looking piece. My bed for example is a cherry wood bed that is set high and has a high headboard. I choose a green and purple sateen comforter for it so that the bed would pop out from the comforter as I bought the bed because of it’s style.

The last thing you have to choose is the accessories for your bed, I’m talking about night stands dressers and vanities. Do you need all of these or do you have a closet with built in storage for non hanging items? No matter what style you choose to go with in your bedroom you have to remember, one there are many choices to make, two you should buy everything together so that they match, unless your going for the eclectic look and three buy things you like and are comfortable with, not what the girl down the street has or the guy on TV has. Your room needs to reflect you.

I write a lot on my other blogs about saving money with Coupon Codes. I think this concept applies also to design and decorating your home. Ordering things online is a great way to get items you normally may not be able to find close to home and at a good price.

There are many online coupon code sites out there, do a search and find one you like. I have saved a lot of money ordering things online with coupon codes, in fact I’m going to be using a code to buy my laptop next month along with ordering though a cash back shopping site.

If your looking for good deals on a home improvement buy, decor or furniture check out the many coupon codes available and see what deal you can get and how much money you can save.

Today I was thinking of a clock that a friend of mine had it was just a small clock for her end table but it was really nice looking. She made it herself out of wood and old gold watches. She found one that had a large face and used that as the clock. Then she took the bands from two other watches and covered the top of the wood base with them. It actually very interesting and goes well with her decor.

She said it was easy to make and you can use anything you would like. The women she got the idea from made her clock with a silver pocket watch and metal pieces she had found.
