Pleasing Your Pet

More and more pets receive a great deal of attention from their owners. For this reason, many have chosen to create spaces dedicated to them. Thus, the animals can exercise and find niches for rest. But creating a coexistence space between humans and pets also requires creating safe places for your most precious objects, which cannot be broken. We talked about this topic and brought several projects as references here.

Bringing More Personality to the Environments

For economic reasons or lack of references, it is more and more common for houses to look like each other because they use the same design objects or standard solutions. To make the place more unique, betting on handcrafted elements can be a good alternative since they can tell a story beyond that of industrialized products. Another tip is to take advantage of your home’s focal points to think about the layout. And, finally, one of the trends of the year was thinking about Emotional Decor, creating spaces that can shelter and help you to create or deal with your feelings.

Small Spaces, Big Changes

No major interventions are necessary to bring a new atmosphere to the house. Changes in small spaces can already provide a novelty in your daily life. Considering landscaping in bathrooms or even reviewing your entrance hall decor can be a good first step toward making the changes you desire.

We present several ways to increase the feeling of spaciousness in balconies or verandas, tips on how to make the most of windows and, for cyclists, we point out some solutions for storing bicycles.
