Marissa Monday

Hey y'all, I felt so bad about not contributing to character week that I decided to write this little ficlet about a day off for Marissa. It's not the best, but I hope you enjoy regardless. Also, if you want to contribute to character week, post your work and tag "bull character week" I'll be reblogging what I find! For more information, check this out!

Title: Autumnal Rest

Word count: 1303

Description: When Bull unexpectedly gives Marissa a well deserved day off, she must find a way to spend it.

Marissa couldn't believe it. She hadn't had a day off in, well, to be honest she couldn't quite remember. It wasn't like it i was Bull's fault, not really, but every time she tried to take a vacation or a personal day, they always hot a big case she couldn't get out of. So when her boss had called her late the night before telling her to stay home and take the day for herself, she was a bit skeptical. In fact, the next morning she ignored the call and started her pre-work morning routine. But almost as if Bull could read her mind, he called again in the morning to remind her that yes, she really did have the day off.

It wasn't like she didn't appreciate it, after all, she had been wanting one for over a year now, but she did wish she'd had a little more time to plan something for herself. She decided to start out at her favourite cafe, and figure it out from there. Ellie would probably know of something fun she could do, and it would be nice to have a proper conversation with her. With Marissa's hectic schedule, she rarely got to say more than a couple of polite sentences to the beloved barista. She dressed in her favorite beige sweater, warm leggings, new brown boots, and the softest infinity scarf she’d ever felt before heading out of her peaceful apartment, without the usual rush or anticipation. She took her time on her trip to Brownies & Brews, taking the long way through a small park and even stopping at the pond for a bit.

When she finally arrives at the small coffee shop, she is greeted by the smell of freshly baked pastries and coffee brewing. It's warm, a pleasant change from the rather brisk autumn air outside. The morning rush is starting to cease, and the line consists of only a few college students impatiently awaiting their orders, undoubtedly having slept a bit late. Ellie quickly spots Marissa and starts making her cappuccino right away. Marissa is grateful for this and finds a seat by one of the windows, watching the bustling city street, making up crazy back stories for the few who stick around on the sidewalk.

By the time Ellie brings her her coffee and a cherry danish, Marissa is completely lost in her thoughts. She's abruptly brought back to reality by the sound of a chair scraping against the worn cafe floor as Ellie takes the seat across from her. “Mind if I join you? I don't think you've ever sat down in here to have your coffee before.” she said as she slowly sat down. Marissa quickly scanned the shop, noticing how it had emptied while she had been zoning out. “Of course. It's my first day off in forever, so I decided to come down here and figure out what I want to do with it.” she replied. Ellie seemed to consider this for a moment, before piping up again. “Well, there is this place in Central Park that I like to go to. It's very quiet and peaceful, I go there to paint when I have the time, but it's good for a picnic or just to relax. Or you could try the New York Botanical Gardens.” she offered, and to Marissa it was perfect. Her face brightened as she dreamed about the relaxing day ahead of her. Excited to get there, she quickly thanked Ellie and headed out of the coffee shop. She was so absorbed in her thoughts already that she didn't notice Ellie shaking her head and chuckling, quickly bringing her phone out of her pocket to text Cable about the unusual encounter.

Marissa found the place Ellie had described relatively easily, and dug around in her bag for a small, plain-looking leather notebook she kept there. It was fairly old, many of the pages dog-eared and the leather cover cracked and worn. She skimmed through what was already written, five years worth of little poems she had written when she had a few minutes to spare. As soon as Ellie mentioned this place and it's undisturbed serenity, she knew it would be perfect for writing a long, detailed poem like she had wanted to for months. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, searching her mind for inspiration. It took no more than ten minutes to find something, and soon she picked up her pen and starting writing as if her life depended on it.

Calm before the Storm

In a boat,

Sits a shrink

Hacking into

The way we think

On the shore

There are more

A lawyer, a hacker,

A former linebacker

They await his Return,

Watching for his crash and burn,

They'll pick up the shards

(the whole nine yards)

The former cop yells

She knows all of his tells

Overworking again,

His heart will soon be out in the open

And the linguist

Watches with anguish

Unable to reach out

She can barely shout

She knows the cycle well

Seen it enough to make her heart swell

With despair and sorrow

And she will bring him back tomorrow

She reads it a couple of times through, and ends up with something she is rather pleased with. A little darker than she would like, but she it still makes her proud. Glancing at her watch, she notices that it's only 1:00pm, and leans her head back to have a moment of peace.

Marissa slowly cracks open her eyes, realizing she had dozed off for a few hours. When she checked her watch again, it was 3:45pm, and she decided it was time to move on with her day off. She checked her bag and pockets to make sure nobody had come by and taken advantage of her previously unconscious state. Finding everything where she left it, Marissa tucked her notebook back into her bag and stood up groggily, stretching and cracking a bone here and there. When she was certain she was fully awake enough to walk, she headed off in a familiar direction, hoping to make it before it closed for the day.

When she arrived at the mall, she made a quick pit stop at the food court to get a bite to eat and more coffee. Once she was finished, she made her way to her favorite story, pausing for a minute to admire the display in the window. It had been a while since she'd been there, and it was time to update her wardrobe. She wandered aimlessly through the racks and shelves, picking out a dress or blouse here and there, looking for nothing in particular. She eventually picked out a good stack, and made her way to the fitting rooms after about forty-five minutes of browsing. The clothes mostly consisted of beautiful blues and deep reds, but had nearly every color of the rainbow here and there. She did, however, decide to skip green altogether. She takes ¾ of her options, and makes her way to the checkout. It was a little pricier than what she would usually go for, but she treated herself just this once.

As she stepped out into the Main area of the mall, she saw the sun beginning to set. Marissa hailed a cab when she got outside, way too tired to walk back home, even with the afternoon's catnap. She observed the city going by on the uneventful ride to her apartment building, mulling over the day's activities. She arrived ten minutes later, and after paying the driver and leaving an impressive tip, began the trek to her small apartment on the seventh floor.

After Marissa put her new clothes away, she ambled into her quaint kitchenette, putting the water on for a nice cup of herbal tea. When it was done, she curled up on the corner of her couch nearest to the window, listening to the sounds of a city that never sleeps. The last thing she remembered that night was how she would have to thank Bull when she went to work in the morning, before she fell asleep.

Create A Contemporary Ambiance With Modern Home Furniture Design

Three adjectives that would accurately describe contemporary

home furniture design

are modern, simple and current. Though the best way to get a contemporary style home designed is by reaching out to the

best interior designers in Mumbai

still you can follow our simple guide and be a Pro at designing a gorgeous home by yourself. This is if you adore your house having a modern and simple touch while also keeping up with current styles then you adhere to the contemporary school of design. Even though modern design usually adopts a colder and minimalistic design, current contemporary homes are leaning towards a more sophisticated yet comfortable look. These homes are welcoming but without being dark and cluttered.The basic characteristics of contemporary design are simplicity, conspicuous use of texture and clean lines all mixed in with subtlety and sophistication. The main idea or goal of contemporary design is to highlight space rather than things. It achieves this by focusing on elements like colour, space and shape which gives the space a sleek and fresh look.

Characteristics Of Contemporary Style Home Furniture Design:

There is next to none intricate detailing.

Lines of contemporary styled furniture typically should be hard-edged or gently curved.

The finishing of the furniture is not selective so it can be in all tones.

The furniture should make a simple, uncluttered but bold statement.

If the contemporary style is how you want your house to look but are confused about what furniture should be in your house then here a few design ideas that will give your house a contemporary touch as recommended by the best

furniture manufacturers in Mumbai

1. Upholstered Furniture:Upholstery is the work done on furniture, typically seats, to provide padding, springs fabric and leather covers and webbing. The advantage of upholstered furniture is that its long-lasting and required very low maintenance. Since contemporary style, home furniture design focuses a lot on texture, upholstered furniture really brings out the contemporary touch. Getting upholstered furniture in black, white or neutral tones made of natural fibres like wool, cotton, linen, jute and silk really ups the textured feel of your house. 2. Urban Home Furniture Design:This furniture is especially for people dwelling in the city. This is why the furniture is typically smaller in scale but at the same time well designed and elegant. Urban furniture can be characterised by their lack of ornamentation, abundant use of black and a range of bright or primary colours, use of varied materials like metal, glass and light wood, and the furniture has striking lines and shapes. These characteristics make the urban home furniture design high impact even though it is small in scale. For this style use simple window treatments like sheer fabric or sheer blinds. Another modern home furniture design is bookshelves, armoires and storage units that are low in height. You can even incorporate multi-purpose ottomans, storage units etc. Also include colourful area rugs, colourful artwork, and sofas which pop with colour along with bright throw pillows. 3. Basic Background With A Splash Of Colour:In contemporary design, ‘the less is more’ ideology is often used. For example, a basic background is brought out by adding a furniture piece in your favourite colour. This means that both the background and the furniture piece will stand out. However, this does not mean you will add a red rug to a greyscale background. The bright colours should not be jarring but should weave in naturally. A few ideas include adding teal or violet pillows to a cream sofa or matching a brightly coloured rug to a modern painting in the same colour palette. The neutral colours ensure a sense of harmony and contrast and make brighter colours seem more in sync with the rest of the

living room interiors

. 4. Art Deco:This style of design is separated from traditional design with the lack of intricate carvings found in traditional design. Instead, it has elegant lines and curves. It involves the blend of luxurious material with synthetic materials which creates a unique and casual look. Luxurious materials that can be used include mother of pearls, ivory, silver and gold leaf, and lacquers. Synthetic materials include contemporary metals, glass, plastics, resins, and mirrors. Other characteristics include medium-toned wood and mirrored and chromed surfaces.If you want to spruce up your room to give it The Great Gatsby feel then here are some furniture pieces you could add. One characteristic of art deco is it streamlined shapes, for example, angular armchairs. Another characteristic is animal prints so you can incorporate a cowhide rug. Geometric shapes are equally important features of art deco and you can include them through art deco mirrors and make a glamorous statement. The overall feel of your room should be sleek and smooth so opt for sleek materials like a vintage floor lamp or a Hungarian Arts Deco table. 5. Let There Be Light:The clean straight lines and hard edges of the contemporary style can seem severe. However, a blend of different rich textures and lots of sunlight can make the place feel more warm and welcoming. You can achieve this look by having large windows that will let in plenty of natural light. You can also make the abundant use of floor and/or ceiling lights. To give a more welcoming feel, you can dress up creamy hued sofas with light coloured throw pillows. Modern paintings with bright hues also accentuate the light especially if there is a light that is pointed at the painting. 6. Casual Contemporary:This style of contemporary design is the most popular because of its casual and relaxed styled and feel. It is a softer, more updates style that does not adopt the design of the hard edges of the formal mid-century modern style. The look is neutral but the scale is larger than typical contemporary designs. The characteristics of the furniture are rounded and eased edges, medium wood tones, textures like glass and leather and other textured fabrics are featured, and soft and overstuffed surfaces with pillow-topped couches. In this style, you can add a sleek leather sofa, spare tables, creamy hued sofas that are dressed up with bright coloured like pink throw pillows, etc. 7. Smooth Clean Geometric Shapes:Introducing this home furniture design is essential to contemporary style. This design can be reflected in many different ways; the important idea is to accentuate the geometry of the place. For example, in a dining room, nature and geometry can blend in to form a contemporary dining area. For example, hardwoods can be an ode to nature while the sleek tables and chairs lend structure and geometry to the design. If your room is centred around a modern artwork then a good idea is to let the artwork’s geometry echo in the shelving unit and furniture. Let the primary colours of the artwork be infused throughout the space creating symmetry. 8. Retro Style Home Furniture Design:This a more whimsical look from the eras of the 1950s to the 1980s. Even though termed retro today, this style was fashionable modern during its reign in the late 20th century. Few furniture pieces that give a retro feel are modular plastic chairs, Formica topped tables, chrome bar stools and anything that is reminiscent of a diner from the 1950s. Other furniture includes boomerang tables and furniture in the space-age style and pieces with a flavour of pop-culture. You can include the retro style in your home with black and white floor tiles for example in the kitchen, a gossip bench, kitschy wallpaper, a retro danish sofa, and even a record player if you are feeling especially groovy. 9. Mid-Century Modern Home Furniture Design:The mid-century modern style is best characterised by stark and simple designs that sculptural in their look and feel. The ideology used is, ‘ form follows function’. Once again, there is little or no ornamentation but instead, there are sleek and uncluttered lines. There is a combination of traditional like wood with not traditional or synthetic materials like glass, plexiglass, plywood and vinyl.To explore the texture, the materials are juxtaposed against each other. The colour palette is varied and can range from neutral to bold and includes the greyscale. Lightweight thin-framed furniture is big in mid-century modern. You can contrast the brown wood with pops of colour by adding resin or plastic furniture like tulip chairs or a transparent coffee table. An essential for this style is a strikingly simple chair that will stand out beautifully. For storage, it is best to use a modular storage system. Wool rugs in muted fall tones will add rustic texture to the room. You can stylise a sunburst mirror and teak clock or vice versa to create a beautiful gallery wall. 10. Contemporary Style

Bedroom Interiors

:A contemporary style bedroom generally should have clean, straight lines that include an impeccable design which gives a feel of richness and sophistication. You can achieve clean straight lines through a sloped ceiling. Richness can be achieved by velvet throw pillows, for example. You can add tonal textures through the rugs, accessories, and beddings. This adds extra warmth, comfort and even glamour to the room. It is a good idea to avoid accessories that include trims, bed skirts, ruffles, floral patterns, fringe and tassels. Basically, nothing that is cute or small. Its the rule of the three Bs: Basic, Bare and Bold!11. Contemporary Style Kitchen Furniture:Contemporary style in the kitchen usually adopts a pared-down style. This includes having flat-front cabinets and sleek stainless-steel appliances. Textured materials like granite, wood and rattan are often used. A colour palette of greys, neutrals and white is a good idea as it is long-lasting and will give the kitchen a clean look. This can be paired with traditional flooring using natural materials. Getting out storage space is also a good idea as it will keep the surface uncluttered. 12. Contemporary Style Furnishings: These are a few contemporary style extras that you can add to your home after choosing your furniture. A good idea is to go for small elements that add personality and depth to the room.

Lamps: Lamps should typically be metallic with straight lines. Lamps made of steel, nickel and chrome are more fitting in the contemporary style. You can also look for floor or desk lamps that have straight and hard lines instead of soft or curvy designs.

Paintings, vases, stocks of books, sculptures: These are all good and stylish elements that can act as accessories. Paintings should generally be simple with minimalistic colours- think modern art. The vases and sculptures should also have a minimalistic design and use very few colours.

Appropriate natural materials like plants: Some plants that accentuate the contemporary design are large orchids, palms, lilies and tulips. Any plant that has bold textures and architectural shapes can be chosen. These can be kept in a contemporary container to weave it in with the other furniture.

That’s the basic guide to the different furniture pieces that you can add to your home to create a contemporary look. The general idea is to avoid patterns of any kinds like floral, polka dots etc. Choose furniture that has sleek and smooth lines and design and use pieces that are low and towards the ground. Space should also be open and inviting; there should be no clutter.Basically, your furniture should embody simplicity, sophistication and subtlety. If you achieve this you will give your house a contemporary touch. If you are looking for professional

Highlight Coffee, 2071 Lincoln Ave., Pasadena, CA 91103, Score: 36/50

I’ve been to the original Highlight Coffee location in Glendale. It’s nice to see them open another larger location on the border of Altadena and Pasadena, across the street from Lincoln (café). This area didn’t have a good coffeehouse.

Score: 36/50

Food: 5/5 – They don’t have a kitchen but they do have a panini press, so they offer pressed hot sandwiches. The pastries (croissants, muffins, Danish) and bread are from Bread Lounge, so you know that they’re great. The cardamom bun had a hint of orange and soft texture. Yum. The food offerings are limited though.

Coffee: 5/5 – They use a variety of coffee roasters, including Case, Augie’s, and Demitasse. THe latte ($5) was made with skill and nice foam art. Pour over coffee and cold brew are available.

Wi-fi: 5/5 – Free, unlimited, fast, ask for the password

Ambiance: 5/5 – It’s modern and minimalist, with tables around the sides, a leather couch, cute round pendant light fixtures, cement floor, a few plants, large counter made out of light wood with a white top. The walls are white. Lots of lights.

Noise: 2/5 – The sounds echo, so it’s not quiet even when there are a few people talking

Plugs: 2/5 – I spotted two

Parking: 2/5 – Surprisingly difficult given that there isn’t much around here, find two hour or unlimited parking on side streets

Comfort: 4/5 – The furniture is new. The wood chairs are not padded. There’s plenty of room though, unless you’re sitting at the communal table. There are lots of small tables and some counter seating at the window.

Bathroom: 3/5 – One gender neutral restroom

Art: 3/5 – Nothing or do the white rectangles count

Tips: They sell coffee, chocolates and random things. They also have tea drinks.

Scandinavian Dining Room Style

I only say this as a result of smooth textures might be exhausting to work right into a dining space, however you need not fear. Once more, it's about air and space - so ensure bedside tables aren't flush against the bed. But, you do need to be careful to maintain them within the signature Scandi colourway of black, white and grey. But if I have been to get a corridor go from bright decor I would be sure to spend an evening with Scandinavian design. Narrow Dining Tables for Small Dining Room. Take a Chew Out of fifty seven Modern Dining Rooms. Cool Dining Room Design for Stylish Entertaining.

Nonetheless, one of many easiest adjustments you may make is swapping out your furnishings; as the focal point of the room, your table must be your greatest investment. On the subject of furniture, Nordic designs are straightforward to distinguish. They strip the designs to their fundamentals and so they manage to capture model in a very pure form. Scandinavian designers are well-known for his or her minimalism and appreciation of simplicity and performance. If you cannot really feel it, you need to change its house with the fashion that matches you. That's higher for this Scandinavian fashion. You must assist it with the unique lighting decor. Setting a big window will assist this Scandinavian residing and dining room concept be brighter and fresher. The Scandinavian residing room that applies the gentle colour scheme use minimalist idea. The room you employ primarily for consuming in may not in fact be your dining room, since many eat within the kitchen as a household and use the main dining space for friends and dinner parties. Tulip table and chairs by par Eero Saarinen. You may love to twist up in it to read by the hearth or simply to recreate the lounge vibe it was designed to exude. Designed for the foyer of the Royal Lodge in Copenhagen, the Egg chair was the product of efforts to carry to life the artwork of occupying house. It's beloved for its versatility, fitting effectively in each modern and classic interiors. A Danish design famous person since 1941, the couch remains to be handmade and comes in quite a lot of fabrics and wooden sorts.Check Out ='display: block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;' src="http://www.architectureartdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/18-Elegant-Scandinavian-Dining-Room-Designs-That-Will-Bring-Simplicity-In-Your-Home-3.jpg" width="681px" alt="scandinavian dining room chairs teak"/> Its design retains the bulb hidden from view to create an intimate effect. Its coloured reflectors and white matte shade permit it to softly a brighten a room. Defying directions forbidding her to design floral prints, Isola made the concept flourish by way of her playful graphic style. Surprisingly snug, it goes just as properly in the dining room because it does within the boardroom or within the yard as a lawn chair. The award-winning Panton chair will be seen in ornamental arts museums, and comes in a wide range of colors, at all times with a matte finish. Immediately, Scandinavian furnishings and decorative items are being handed down by generations like valuable gems. The artworks organized between the tall windows create a brilliant fascinating and energetic visual impact in this beautiful dining room. For that reason, we use traceable leather-based, IWTO licensed wool, and wooden from sustainable, European forestry - and that is why we don't hesitate to offer you a 5 12 months guarantee on all our designs. A trend in direction of multileveled and sized wall shelving speaks to the need for being area savvy through sensible storage and visible interest. Every lobby needs a seat and what higher chair then a pastel Nerd Chair that's small in profile, glossy in design, and comfortable to sit on. Stackable Shelfs whether or not mounted singularly on the wall or grouped together to create a low cabinet are the proper place for incidentals while additionally providing counter floor for display items. The glossy lines and delicate pastel colouring create a base from which the remainder of the room expands upon. I'd love to see a collection of artisan wooden, stone and pottery pieces displayed in a Stacked Shelf System towards a wall in a home office. Including to the clear strains is the addition of the Visu Chair comprised of a bent plywood back and seat with a powder coated metal base. The 70/70 table is formulated from two forged aluminium squared frames which - on this vignette - are powder coated in a classy green in for a modernist profile of no muss no fuss.

6 Cozy Home Decor Ideas That Are Perfect for an Introvert

It's no secret that our home decor choices are a direct reflection of our personalities. If you're vivacious and outgoing, chances are good that you may lean toward bold colors and designs in your home.

But what if you're more reserved? How do you decorate for that?

“Introverts' homes have a less aggressive approach to design,” says Sasha Bikoff, an interior designer in New York City.

“People who are more introspective thrive on spending alone time, finding solace and comfort with themselves,” adds Hanna Callaway, an interior designer with ExFloorit. “Generally, most introverts like spaces that reflect how they reveal themselves to others. An ideal space [would be] simplistic, balanced, calming, and natural.”

Think: tea and a book in a corner chair. An understated furniture arrangement. Quiet shades that are both elegant and relaxing.

But that doesn't mean your home design has to be boring or frumpy. You can create an environment that allows your inner homebody to disconnect and recharge-while still being on trend. Here are six ways how.

1. Pick muted hues

Photo by Monika Hibbs Soft tones are introvert favorites: “This person is likely to lean toward creams and tans, as well as gray, navy, and muted greens,” Callaway says.

A cozy retreat can also be created with soft browns or pale pastels.

“These shades have hints of color which provide the homeowner with a place to retreat from the overstimulation of everyday life,” explains Misty Yeomans, senior color marketing manager at PPG Industries, a paint company.

And when it comes to patterns, subtlety is key.

“Thin stripes and small circular designs work with quiet colors favored by introverts,” says Alice Chiu of Miss Alice Designs in San Francisco.

Get this look: If you're a reserved type, you can't go wrong with warm whites, such as Glidden's Candlelit Beige or Off White.

Not into something so … vanilla? Pick a muted color that calms you, such as Porter Paints Winter Chill.

“It's a gentle blue hue that promotes happiness and is representative of the hygge trend,” Yeomans says.

2. Seek clean lines

Photo by Studio Joa Herrenknecht Introverts tend to be drawn to simplicity. That means traditional pieces, farmhouse styles, and Scandinavian design, according to the pros.

“Contemporary Scandinavian, in particular, embodies simple layouts, clean lines, sleek surfaces, and neutral tones,” notes Callaway.

And, if you're an introvert, you are likely to thrive on quiet time and a place to collect your thoughts. So when you design your living space, stick to a minimalist arrangement centered around you, rather than geared toward a bunch of guests, says Drew Henry of Design Dudes.

Get this look: A pair of Mid-Century Modern coffee tables is a good start ($261, Amazon). Match them with a Danish-inspired modern couch ($610, AllModern).

3. Invest in quality shades

Photo by Delia Shades

Window treatments or curtains for rooms that have sightlines to the street or a neighbor's backyard are a must for inwardly focused folks, notes Paul Miller of MakeNest Interiors.

“This type of person needs control over the way he socializes, so if he's not in the mood to hang out or be seen, screening the view from the outside gives the necessary privacy,” Miller explains.

And be sure to install dimmers in the home: “Lighting plays a huge role in how we relax and renew our energy,” he adds.

Get this look: Simple cordless shades are smart in every room. Plus, they come in various light levels-including blackout for the bedroom-and they're safe for kids (from $33, SelectBlinds).

4. Make room for books and hobbies

Photo by Rosangela Photography Not every introvert is a bookworm, but you should still allow enough storage for various collections, Henry says. Or consider accommodating other quiet activities-such as scrapbooking, cooking, needlework, or DIY projects-by building in a dedicated craft nook or workshop.

“Introverts are homebodies by nature, so taking the time to perfect their spaces and make them a place of relaxation is integral,” Bikoff points out.

Get this look: Design your own worktable for writing or sketching (from $174, Pottery Barn). And house books, baskets and other accessories with the endlessly customizable Billy bookshelf line (from $29, IKEA).

5. Choose smaller seating

Photo by Phoebe Howard There's no need for a huge couch in this kind of home. An introvert is more likely to snuggle up with someone special in a loveseat or settee-or she may pick her own plush chair or swing made just for one.

“Window seating or smaller accent chairs are good picks for an introvert, especially if the layout is a cozy one,” notes Alexa Battista, a Wayfair spokesperson.

Get this look: We love this pretty loveseat ($570, Wayfair) for the living room or at the foot of the bed. And a swing chair on a covered porch is an ideal, solitary perch ($348, Wayfair).

6. Incorporate texture

Photo by CAPITAL BUILDING: Apartment-Renovations Soft throws, plush pillows, and thick carpets offer the right feel in a quiet home.

“Focus on using multiple textures of the same color, so the space is warm and layered but still visually calming,” Henry advises.

Callaway suggests linens and natural fibers, such as leather, fur, and hemp.

Get this look: Gorgeous faux furs are sold all over, so get one for the bed as well as the couch or reading chair ($179, Restoration Hardware). Lay a rug of natural fibers in a palette of earth tones ($192, Overstock.com) to warm up the space-and your toes.

COUCH INSPIRATION: DISCOVERING CONVENIENCE AS WELL AS DESIGN

Did you understand that the gluteus maximus is the biggest muscle in the body?

Clearly it is necessary to relax that hard-working muscular tissue, so why not do so on a terrific furniture? Discover why these deportees selected their sofas and also chairs for some inspiration.

Rie Ruby and also Christian Stentoft, Danish

' We recently moved to Singapore and also, as this is our very first house with each other, we wanted to purchase something that would certainly remain with us for the long run. We were looking for a couch with excellent quality and classic design, with the convenience to suit any type of residence or living room. As we are both Danish, and Danish Style has a legacy of having the specific qualities we try to find, it was an all-natural option for us to find the store in Singapore. The consumer experience was great. The personnel were very handy and also versatile in supplying the couch promptly, which was necessary to us.

We purchased the Eilersen Play Tower in a dust-green material. The elegance of this piece is that it's not simply pleasing to the eye and also really comfortable, it's likewise extremely practical. Not knowing where we could be living 3 years from now, the fact that it is both a sofa and also a daybed makes it flexible as well as able to suit anywhere. Its back assistance is composed of flexible pillows, which is suitable for both sitting and cuddling up in. The service and option at the Danish Layout store was superb, as well as we will most definitely return there.'

Calvin Chong, Singaporean

' I was seeking a 3-seater sofa for my new house. My apartment or condo currently had a mix of mid-century modern-day, industrial and rustic pieces. I started my search with some standard in mind-- modern-day style, black natural leather, ideally with a dark wood or walnut coloured base. I went to various furniture purchase close to three months before picking out the piece.

I read about Kuhl Residence while browsing home providing web sites in Singapore as well as was pleasantly amazed by their broad option of sofas. I checked out the store several times as well as Karl (Regio) specifically was very attentive as well as person in answering my inquiries in person as well as by means of email. He recognized the items well, provided great recommendations and might discuss the numerous distinct marketing factors.

I acquired a 3-seater Bolia 'North' Sofa in Black Quattro Natural leather with an Oiled Walnut base. I am impressed by its top quality made-in-Denmark construction which validated the time spent waiting for arrival. The sofa's type is modern-day as well as downplayed, but develops a warm as well as welcoming setting at the very same time. Its black leather as well as walnut wood appearances match flawlessly with my eating set.

I'm not currently trying to find various other products currently, but am very pleased with my acquisition. Understanding that the couch is developed to last contributes to the enjoyment. A couch is a substantial financial investment for your home. Require time to watch multiple items, gain a far better understanding of your choices as well as refine your options.'

Olivier and Pascale Moreau, French

' We currently had a couch on our balcony however it really did not really fit, so we changed it with tables as well as two chairs from Dreamweave. Our home is really modern and also roomy, with the kitchen as well as dining location leading to the outdoor balcony. We wanted to recreate the area right into a jungle-like green area with numerous plants, so it was important for the brand-new furnishings to be ideal for that.

We were fortunate to discover Dreamweave simply by walking right into Millenia Stroll shopping mall. The quality of their products is high, the prices are budget friendly and the colour of the chairs was exactly what we were looking for. Pascale and also myself typically sit on these chairs and also have a beverage when the kids are asleep, and also our helper enjoys relaxing on them.

The youngsters likewise love to play on them-- we actually only bought one chair originally, however needed to get another one since they fought over who reached sit in it! We're certainly considering obtaining even more chairs in the future, which visitors will additionally value. When it comes to picking exactly what furniture to acquire, it is very important to consider the environment you wish to create. For us, Dreamweave's furnishings is best for our tranquil little jungle.'

After meeting Felicia, I was persuaded that this was the best piece for us. It's a modular sofa that we can move as well as make suit any type of space. We were sold by its adaptability. Felicia was very valuable when it concerned choosing a colour, and also revealed me the best ways to put colours together to produce various looks.

The couch has become a favorite spot for everybody in your home. It behaves that we can all collect there simultaneously. It's a remarkable location to have a movie night and also has enabled us to invest more top quality household time together.

" We already had two stunning, conventional sofas that we had custom-made in Melbourne. Although they were still in outstanding problem, their chenille covers really felt as well warm in the tropics. We wanted a material colder to the touch, therefore we looked for the Belgian bed linen from the House of AnLi. We checked out it in Deportee Living magazine-- a terrific resource! We selected a natural colour, a charming white textile with an amazing touch and a tight bed linen weave.

We're delighted with the freshly upholstered sofas and also have actually just recently gotten extra linen for pillows from the House of AnLi. The steel blue will certainly coordinate magnificently with the brand-new blue scheme of the living-room, in addition to the brand-new, vivid and modern flower armchairs.

I enjoy Set Kemp's insides, as well as had her layouts in mind when we coordinated our living-room's transformation. Throughout the whole material choice process, Panagiotis from Residence of AnLi was likewise client as well as well-informed-- absolutely a pleasure to collaborate with.

My suggestions is not to hurry the preparation. Attempt to get huge swatches of the material during the option phase and also make certain you review the textile sitting. I as soon as made a terrible decision of purchasing furniture fabric based upon a tiny example, and also regretted it from the moment the chairs were supplied. Making a colour board is additionally helpful."

" We were changing an old toddler sofa review and desired something elegant, tidy and modern-looking that would suit our space. It also should be exchangeable right into an extra bed for occasional use. We have used OHMM since getting here in Singapore virtually 10 years back, and the experience is constantly an enjoyment.

Lilian as well as her group offer excellent however discreet solution, allowing you time to ponder as well as form your very own conclusions in a relaxed as well as pleasant ambience.

Our new U-shaped sofa set with twin coffee tables was made to our exact size requirements. In our little conservatory design room, it is very important to gain as much seats as possible without feeling as well confined or claustrophobic. The outcome was exactly as we would certainly envisaged.

We also have an exterior table as well as six chairs from OHMM on a reduced flooring porch. When the timber discoloured somewhat within a couple of months of purchase, OHMM was amazing. They arranged for collection, left us a car loan collection and also totally re-stained the timber, leaving it like new. Nobody can request much better solution than that! It is essential not to be hurried right into a buying choice.

See to it you're purchasing exactly what you need and want, not just what the salesperson intends to offer you. At OHMM, you could constantly ask for something out of the ordinary or which is not displayed in the catalogues-- they will generally locate a way to please your demands if whatsoever feasible."
