Get A Wall Tattoo

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Design for kids, Wall art, fun decor

I came across this very cool site today called Wall Glamour and they have very cool products for your walls. They refer to them as wall stickers, but I think wall tattoo is catchier. They have many different designs, a few have shown in this post and many of them you can choose your own colors. They also tell you on the website how to apply them and everything.

One thing they carry that I love are swags. There is one pictured above if your not sure what that is. The reason I love them are simple.

They also offer free swatches so that you can see the fabrics first hand, you can order up to 10 FREE swatches.

Now if your in the market for more then just drapes then you can also check out their custom shower curtains, bedspreads and more. They are very reasonably priced and they offer tips and advice for ordering, measuring and more. Fabric Workroom also has a great guarantee where if you find a defect in the fabric or the design, contact them within 7 days of receiving your order and they will fix it. Some places don’t offer this type of guarantee unless you go though a designer. The other good thing about this site is that you don’t have to deal with a designer who makes you buy something you really don’t like, just because they love it.

Give your infant some style

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Design for kids

Are you a modern parent looking for some great style for your baby. Check out this new look from cabana baby cribDucduc. It’s modern, it’s different and you may just be the envy of everyone you know. Pictured to the right is the cabana baby crib. What baby would not love that. It also works well for a boy or girl so if you haven’t had the baby yet and don’t know the sex, you could get this and still be okay.

Another great piece from Ducduc is the eddy rocker. This piece looks much more comfortable then the rocker my mother used. It’s padded and very comfy looking. I think I would worry more about me falling asleep then the baby.

Ducduc also offers bedding and all the fun extra stuff for your baby too. The company also has won the best of the year merit award from Interior design Magazine. One of the top industry magazines.

Fly Away with a Design Job

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Design professions

Interior design is just not about homes, sometimes it’a about the busness you visit and how you feel in them. An example would be an Airport Lounge. You want to feel comfortable enough if your there for a few hours, but you don’t want people to feel comfortable enough not to want to leave. Unless your doing a club section.

The same thing goes with the plan you fly in. Most commercal airplanes are about the same, but did you know that interior designers actually are involved in the design of these planes? If you didn’t your in for a surprise, many time people with interior design degrees help design the inside of these planes. Of course many don’t do much commercal work, they usually design private jets for corperations or wealty people. These are people who want bars, tv’s and beds in their planes. They use them to go anywhere and want the same comfort on board as they have at home. How about that for a job?

Find something new

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Design tips

You always want to be on the lookout for a new product. Usually it is something that most people don’t have and want. When your boss or your potential boss walks into your home you want green lounge chairthem to remember you. Sometimes you can do this by having something they want, but don’t have yet.

How do you get these new product. Find out where the interior designers go to get their products, remember many places don’t serve the public so be prepared for a no, you can’t have that answer. Some designers may even find just one item for you, you of course would have to pay a mark up and I would recommend letting your friends know who you got it from that way you drive business to the designer and that may make them help you more later when you want the next new hot thing.
