Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment
Commentaires (2)I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots....

Commentaires (0)Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections....

Commentaires (0)Helpful interior design tips, to combine practicality and beauty, leading to a healthy eating! Everyone knows that proper nutrition is the key to a healthy and active life, but not everyone realizes how our eating habits are sometimes interrelated with the space in which we cook and eat our food. We'd like to share the top 5 practical advices from the personal experience of the Space Feeling interior design team, to combine practicality and beauty, leading to a healthy eating. COLOR AND SHADES We want to turn your attention to shades. If you want to eat less, repaint the dining room in your favorite color but in its cold shade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold shades of any colors will oppress the appetite, warm and dark shades, on the contrary, will awaken it. White is the most versatile and comfortable color, for good reason it has become the main color of Scandinavian design. HOME PLANTS Potted plants not only give comfort and more air to our homes. The presence of a large number of home plants in the interior of the kitchen also encourages us to eat and cook green food, and this is mainly greens, vegetables and fruits, olive oil. If you don’t like plants — wallpapers with all sorts of palm and tropical prints will come to help you. The atmosphere they bring will make you not only eat well, but also feel at home like in an oasis! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORE LIGHT When you plan the kitchen space, try to place the table and working area closer to the window, in addition add lamps, pendants and wall lamps there too, the more, the better. We tend to eat 25–30% more food in darker rooms than we do in better lit kitchens or dining rooms. The more light is present in meal areas, the more responsible we are with our meals! “CLOSED” KITCHEN FURNITURE When planning or ordering furniture, make the kitchen cabinets more closed. We could eat 20% of food simply because it comes into our eyes. Therefore, hide all less healthy food in cabinets, and “promote” fruits, vegetables and water by giving them a central, very visible position in your kitchen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLEAN AND TIDY Keep the kitchen and dining table clean. When you are in a messy out-of-control place, it gives you an excuse to pay less attention to your eating habits. Try to take away leftovers to the refrigerator and closed cabinets immediately after eating, the chaos on the table after a meal also inclines us to overeat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We hope these tips will help you enhance your kitchen space and promote healthy eating!

I too am a in love with up-cycling old furniture - in particular chairs. Found this old chair in a second hand shop and decided to decoupage in Japanese Washi papers. Then had some fabric printed from the Washi designs and made a tie on cushion for comfort.
Amazing what you can do with something that would otherwise have probably been sent to the tip!
