Maps, All Kind of Maps

Sep10

Framed maps matches everybody’s taste in my opinion, and they are suitable in any kind of space. If you are a map lover you can create your own framed map now, in any size, shape and style, instead of buying a ready framed map in decor stores, which can be expensive sometimes.

I bought The National Geographic magazine, and again I found a map attached to it, map of the Oceans, it has a color blue theme, that can match a boy’s room, an office or any space else where.

This issue is September issue, the writing in it makes it more appealing, you can frame it the way it is, or cut in half or quarters in any shape you like, it works in many different ways.

See the pictures below, and get ideas of how framed maps can be incorporated with interior designs.

Go to your nearest book store or book station, you can find all kind of maps at a very low price, after you decide what shape and size you would like to create, take the map to any framing store, you will find all kinds and colors of the card boards and frames that will match your living space.

Few months ago I made a map I found attached to The National Geographic magazine, it was the map of Africa, green and it matched my green theme living room.

The Wonders of a Console Area

Sep8

Console area for me is the most beautiful area in the house, its not defined by any rules of interior design, it can contain any kind of items, literally.

I love the mix and matching in the console area, mirrors, lamps, plants, wall paints, books, flowers, ottomans, boxes, pictures, statues, etc. The area can contain too much, or too little, depends on the theme of the living space around it.

The console area can be anywhere in the house, in the living room, hall way, entrance, under the stairs, in the bedroom, in the garden, etc. Also you can put two console tables in one space.

The pictures below show exactly how you can combine many items and create a console area at your place.

Bokhour Closet

Sep5

I found on Instagram a brilliant idea created by the Home Factory for carpentry and upholstery , a closet where you place your cloths that you want to be scented with Bokhour. Since the closet is a small confined place, the Bokhour smell will be intense and stick for a very long time on your cloths.

The idea of the closet is being safe while we apply the Bokhour, I’m sure we all had incidents where our cloths got burnt from applying Bokhour.

The closet can be adjusted from inside according to your specifications, and it comes in different colors. It costs 98KD with delivery.

Below in the pictures are the specifications,the details and the information of the closet.

My new obsession – Kilims

A carpet can brightens or ruins a living space, its one of the most important furniture items that you should spend a little more on it.
