  2. Sustainable home decor basics

    We’ve heard this term so often, but what exactly is sustainable decor?

    Sustainable decor is a way of life that helps you and nature sustain each other.

    • Decor that interferes with your health is a no-go.
    • Also, anything that uses up too much of natural resources that cannot be replaced is unsustainable.
    • A third criterion is that sustainable pieces of furniture are biodegradable and don't become a pollutant later.

    How does decor interfere with health?
    Directly: Very simply, a piece of home decor can emit fumes that are inhaled by you. These fumes trigger a lot of health issues, including hormonal imbalance and asthma.
    Indirectly: Whatever waste we add to the environment comes back to us as one environmental issue or another. The pollution caused by plastics gets into the system of animals and eventually gets to us through the food chain.
    The overuse of resources like water causes climatic imbalances and natural disasters.

    What can we do?
    Here are a few things you can do to gradually shift

  3. TV stand versus hidden TV lift cabinet

    Here are some quick pointers to help you decide what to buy- a  hidden TV lift cabinet or the regular TV stand:

    • Safety-There have been so many cases of tip-over accidents involving children and a TV, on a stand. The probability of a child being injured or even killed by a TV is a lot higher than we would imagine. So, either you wall mount your TV, buy a brace that anchors your TV, or simply consider a  hidden TV lift cabinet. Unlike a TV stand, the hidden TV lift cabinet keeps the TV concealed, and reduces the screen time, and completely negates the chances of accidents. Also, when the TV is in use, and out of the hidden TV lift cabinet, it is well secured to the mount, that in turn is anchored to the heavy-duty hidden TV lift cabinet. So, a  hidden TV lift cabinet is high on safety ratings, while a TV stand may or may not be, depending on if a security brace has been used or not.

     

    • Cleaning- A TV stand has the TV out in the open. So, the TV stand and the TV both need maintenance,

  4. Hidden TV lift cabinets vs wall mounts

    Hidden TV lift cabinets and wall mounts are both modern TV placement ideas. Yet, both are very different. Wall mounts have a bunch of problems that you can avoid by simply choosing a hidden TV lift cabinet.

    Here are some:

    1. The TV mount is not centered- This is a very common problem. No matter how carefully you take the measurements, chances are that you will drill holes in the wrong spots. It isn’t hard to get it right, but it is even easier to get it wrong. Once the holes are drilled, there’s little scope for moving things around and drilling another set of holes for the TV mount! So, though you have your TV up on the wall, you’re going to cringe each time you pass by it, simply because it isn’t centered!

    The solution - Ditch the wall mount altogether. Order a  hidden TV lift cabinet, and you won’t need to drill any holes into any wall. Also, with a  hidden TV lift cabinet, you don’t need to center the TV, just push the hidden TV lift cabinet along, and you’re done! The TV moves

  5. Avoiding common pitfalls of ordering furniture online

    Ordering stuff online is extremely convenient, but sometimes it backfires terribly. So, how do we avoid the most common pitfalls then?

    Here’s a quick checklist:

    1. Get the measurements right- The most obvious problem is receiving the wrong-sized furniture. This is not to say that the shipping company made a mistake, but that the error could be on either side- yours or the seller’s. On your end, you need to make sure that you have a clear idea of how much space you have available. Consider the measurements of the space and the furniture before you place the order. An oversized dining table in a tiny space is a decor disaster. Similarly, when ordering a  hidden TV lift cabinet, make sure you measure your TV the right way.  Also, a petite  hidden TV lift cabinet is a good fit for smaller bedrooms than a large media console. Bottom line: Always refer to the instructions given on the website.
    2. Visualize the look- Do not absent-mindedly order a piece of furniture just because it is on sale

  6. Modern coastal decor basics

    What is coastal decor?

    The coastal or nautical style is all about a natural, calm, soothing, and of course, a beachy feel. The good thing is that you don't necessarily have to live by the beach to enjoy all things beachy. 

    Think water, sand, sea, nature, shells, ropes, and laid back.

    What does modern decor mean?

    The modern style is all about minimalism. Clear spaces, clutter-free space, and basically an organized way of living. 

    Think natural material, practical, open, and sleek.

    So, what is the modern coastal style?

    The modern coastal style is a crossover of the two styles. Though there are a lot of differences between the two schools of thought, both styles agree on natural materials, natural lighting, and open layouts. So, what we get is a coastal feel without anything being overwhelming. It’s the subtlety that makes the modern coastal style so unique. 

    Some basics:

    1. Basic color palette- A muted color palette is the way to go. So, though you can use bright blues and sunny oranges,

  7. The beginner's guide to home decor

    If you are moving into a brand new home, you’ll need to get started on home decor. And that is something that can completely overwhelm you. 

    So, here’s a quick, practical guide on how to get started. 

    1. Do research- Home decor is not a two-month project. It is an ongoing thing, but you need to make sure that you have the right start. For that, you need to do some solid research. Look around in stores, look online. Take pictures and screenshots of what you like. Then look for similarities in all those pictures. When you analyze them, you will notice some clear features. For example, all those pictures probably feature rooms with neutral color palettes, shiplap walls, black accents, multiple rugs in the living and dining space, or even modern furniture like storage ottomans and a hidden TV lift cabinet. Use these details to define your tastes. Find your style.
    2. Declutter- Once you know the style you are looking for, start cutting down on what you have. You always need a clear workspace no

  8. 5 living room must-haves

    The living room is probably the most used space at home. That is why you need to know all about decorating the living room purposefully. 

    Here are some living room must-haves:

    The living element- If it is called a living room, it is more than appropriate to have something living in there. No, pets don't count! We are talking about indoor plants. Besides looking great, plants are known to have health benefits too, like reducing stress and even noise levels. Plants work well in all decor styles, even the warm minimalist style.

    A TV- What is a living room without a TV? But then again, how does a living room come alive if everyone just sits there watching TV? Well, with a hidden TV lift cabinet, you can keep the TV in the living room, as it should be. Whenever you think the TV is becoming overbearing, simply use the button on the remote to make it disappear into the hidden TV lift cabinet. All you will have in front of you is a beautiful handcrafted hidden TV lift cabinet.  Conveniently,

  9. 5 Interior decor hacks to reduce stress

    There are a lot of things that cause stress at home.  Here are some tips on how to use home decor to reduce stress levels:

    1. Avoid an excess of straight edges

    Modern decor is all about well-defined straight lines. It looks great, but the downside is that these edges can make you feel edgy. The human brain prefers curves and rounded edges because they are interpreted as ‘non-threatening’. On the other hand, straight edges are ‘threatening’ and trigger an alert in the brain. Continuously being on alert evidently causes stress build-up.

    Quick tip: Soften the edges. Add rounded accents, like vases, or a round coffee table. Break the monotony of the rectilinear shapes.

    2. De-clutter

    Clutter is a common cause of psychological issues. Clutter visually triggers the brain into thinking about inefficiency and guilt, and makes a person feel overwhelmed and stressed. So, de-cluttering is crucial for mental health.

    Quick tip: Get down to smart storage. Put stuff away, if you cannot sort and discard

  10. Home styling tips for any space

    There are some tips that are extremely room specific. But, there are some that you can apply to any room you please. These tips can help you get the basics of home decor right. So, off we go!

    Get rid of eyesores

    An eyesore is anything that does not make your space look prettier, anything that interferes with the aesthetics. It includes promotional flyers, shoes lying scattered, and also ugly cords running all over the walls. So, how do we fix this mess?

    The simplest way to improve the aesthetics of a space is to work on these ugly things and get them out of sight. Here's how:

    1. Cord covers- Cord covers are very versatile,  in the sense that you can use them in any room and paint them any color. Just match the color of the wall and you are all set. Instead of ugly black or white cords on the wall, you'll see a pleasant cord cover of the same shade. Everything is streamlined and much neater be it the sconces in the bedroom or the TV cords in the living space, or the microwave cord in the
