Five tips on buying sofas

julian — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 07:49:38 +0000

Looking for quality sofas rather than cheap versions and opt for those that have solid frame. A number of cheaper versions might appear good but actual foundation might not be able to stand the test of time. A pine or oak frame made from particles board or plywood.
Inspect the sofa’s textile and the way well it is tailored. Make sure to see if seams are even if the piping line up. With regards to printed sofas, patterns should match from one piece to another well enough on the edges and the front.
While buying leather, at all times makes sure you are getting the real deal. Vinyl can sometimes look, feel and ever smell like the actual thing. Check the difference through looking at the base within the settee to determine if it’s dyed all the way through. But you see white gauze backing, It vinyl.
When you are in store always make sure that the sofa which is not too deep or else will be difficult and uncomfortable for elder find hard getting off the sofa. Do not opt for a huge European sofa which will be too large and too deep such that you never even sit back to the seat.
Choose sofas with loose slip covers that may be laundered when necessary. Too, ensure of upholstery is often treated with substance coating so as to repels liquids and thus, minimises stains. Department stores and almost all furniture stores offer some form of stain protection application.

The Seagull Lights, aesthetic beauty with functions

Design light, Home decor, design ideas, lighting ideas, home design

The first time I laid my eyes on the Seagull Light, I was fascinated with the design of “The Seagull light ” It take the form of a flying seagull. The light source adopts an Eco friendly LED light which consume much less energy compare to a traditional light, yet it also can provides the same brightness. The Light brightness can be control by turning the front knob on the body and the back knob control the lighting angles of the wing. It simulate the flying seagull in the sky.

It is cleverly design, not only taking care of the aesthetic beauty but cleverly integrated fun to it functions. It can use as a light source for reading or creating ambient to the room. Not only bring light to the room but it can serve as a decorative fixture for the room.

I will give 5 stars for ” The Seagull Light”.

Home decor Jewellery Tree reddot design award winner

julian — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 14:12:44 +0000

Interesting piece of jewelery storage design. When i first saw this piece of design it reminded me of X’mas and how we love to decorate the tree with Christmas Decoration Ornament.

I also got clients ask me to design a jewellery storage in the dresser table but i think it look better hanging on with jewelery tree.

Jewelry Tree

Finger rings, bracelets, chains and ear-rings – all find their place on the jewelry tree which is just as beautiful and sculptural as it is fascinatingly simple. In daily use it is not only decorative, but provides you with a good overview of what you can choose among. Louise Christ, the designer, has used mirror-finished aluminium which both tolerates use and has the necessary weight to carry your jewelry without tipping over.

Design: Louise Christ (DK)
