Take a gander at Kaspar Hammacher’s first piece for his furnishing series with the Stein No. 1 coffee tables. The piece offers sound organic qualities to which artificially manufactured items would perhaps have a hard time duplicating.

The table has been sawed and sanded from a segment of an oak tree’s trunk to produce a sumptuous sculptural stone-like creation that still celebrates its winsome woodgrain texture. It is dubbed as the “the anchor for balance and tranquility in the life of its owner, as if it would still rest on the riverbank with water slowly forming its signature”.

From the looks of it, the coffee table would be a great addition outdoors although from the make, it seems like a cool addition to your living room.

Accent lights by the rim give the whole thing a dim glow that should deliver some relaxing ambiance and the bottom was designed to offer a rocking motion without worrying about tipping over.

The Long Form Library remains a prototype for now and costs a whopping $9,500 if ever you intend to get one. For now they remain hand-made although the designer said via Etsy that this will be machine-produced soon and lower the pricing as well.

Everyone knows that condominium living is perhaps limited but it doesn’t mean you cannot get the ideal home design for the so-called “Shoebox” pads. It is apparent that many cannot afford and will have a tough time looking for the modern and urban way of living but apparently it should be viewed as a challenge rather than a limitation.

We see the influx of small furnishings today but if you make the right choices, you may be surprised at how condo living can be pegged as living large. How? Well it all boils down to good design and furniture selection. Forget about the old bulky stuff that you had in you ancestral home. These are the past. While they may have been ideal and something we have gotten used to, reality is that you have to face the future wisely and creatively.

Some new furniture solutions may seem limited but if you consider it a challenge, then you can see how well you fill them in with limited area space. Condo living is not a degrading fact of living these days. You just have to let go of large living like before and make limited space a joy to be in especially when it comes to creative interior decorating.

As far as decorating homes or rooms, most people would have different beliefs and concepts that they want to accomplish. While others focus on color and representation, home decorating is really about knowing what to put and using space considerations as a constraint to preserve the quality of interior decorating today.

Often, people would think that they want chairs, tables, sofas, the home theater systems in their room which is perfectly fine. But reality check, make sure that they will fit. You surely do not want to look like a packed room where you are trying to squeeze in all your wants into a limited capacity room. It just doesn’t work that way.

While you want to do so much, try and grab hold of your imagination and bring it down to realistic proportions. Your level of room design may not be satisfied but at least you have a room that many will surely envy if you use the mature approach.

When it comes to placing furnishing, soft furnishings and accessories in a nicely decorated room, there are a few design industry dos and don’ts to follow. These help to get a room in good proportion and style.

The Art of Decorating Is Knowing What to Place in Your Room

The investment you make on beds is important. We all have our own ways of working hard and mostly we find ourselves on the go. Beds are different in terms of quality and make. While we want to design our homes, it would be best to stop a while and see how beds can be given the same level of importance as far as getting quality rest from it is concerned.

“As soon as you look in the room, you want the bed to be the focal point,” said interior designer Danie Dunn, owner of Danie Dunn Designs, in Kansas City, Mo. “People spend more money on their kitchen and don’t even know how to cook. Your bedroom should be your most important priority.”

Sure, it’s important that your bed fit the room and your body. But beyond all practical considerations, a bed is the one furnishing in your home that needs to be, well, fabulous.

“You want it luxurious,” Dunn said. “You want that at-home-in-your-castle feeling. You’re the queen.”
