ABC’s of Fine Design

Look around you, there is so much that can become good design with the right combination of things. Designers use nature all of the time and the company I’m telling you about today is no exception.

If you have ever wanted to sit on a cloud then Meritalia is the company for you. Take this amazing sofa for example. It looks like a cloud and really is a very stylish and modern addition to any home, pair it with white or dark tables and two blue chairs and you have a very interesting focal point to your room. You could also use glass tables to keep that airy effect.

Many people think of interior design as something that only the rich can have, but it’s not true. The everyday person can have some design elements in there own home.

Often times people don’t feel like there home is a home because they don’t know what they like, or they know what they like but are not sure how to tie it all together.

One thing you can do is decided if you are a traditional, modern or eclectic person.

If you are a traditional person, you like antiques, older furniture such as anything from the french revolution era or furniture from the 1800’s. You like tapestry’s and rugs. You hate metal and new types of furniture.

A modern person love metal and glass and all the new types of furniture and decorations. You like anything made in the 1900’s and beyond. You don’t like older furniture and would never let it in your home.

An eclectic person likes all kinds of furniture and loves mixing it up. Many people consider this a country style, but it’s not.

Once you decide what kind of person you may be you need to learn what to look for in your furniture.

For a traditional person. Look for Louie the IV type furniture or Revolution era furniture. Click here for examples

Modern furniture is easy to find, there is so much of it around, look for anything with metal or plastic. Click here for examples
