Here is another lamp that should come in handy for any home. Although it seems the lamp looks to be made for the people who need the proper lighting when studying or working, the whole thing seems to be created with a whole lot of simplicity.

The Nepa Lamp was designed by Giles Godwin-Brown, described as a 2-dimensional task lamp that is wall mounted as well. The lamp was built using birch plywood together with stainless steel and aluminum detail and uses friction hinges along with a pivot in the base to enable a full range movement and utilizes high-powered LED lighting to spread its functional light.

For the people who want a simple phone, here is a great addition towards your plumbing fixtures in the simplest design yet. The Plain kitchen faucets from Valpra are an antidote to design overload. If you yearn for something refined, easy-on-the-eye and unfussy, then the Plain faucet is for you. The counter-mounted tap stands tall before curving into a perfect ‘U’ shape.

There is a tubular, cylindrical version, as well as a faceted version with flattened sides. The user-friendly joystick handle mirrors the shape of the spout itself. These kitchen faucets are by Marco Piva, transforming a complex function into the essence of simplicity. A company whose motto is ‘Less is more’, Valpra represent all that is good about Italian designed faucets.

Normally we would hear of immediate actions when it comes to dangerous home furnishings such as this bassinet from Sears. Apparently, there have been some hazard complaints that included a 10-week-old girl who had slipped out the side of the bassinet between a lower horizontal railing and the mattress, becoming trapped at chest level in the 4-inch gap. If she had slipped a little bit more then she would have died.

Apparently, the said complaint which was phoned in by the mother never got the action needed to address the issue. According to sources, it looks like the people who took down the complaint just took the details but failed to note the severity of the danger it brings.

For what it is worth, parents are being egged to be careful of this Simplicity 4-in-1 convertible bassinet. Avoid it or if you have one, address it to the makers immediately before something untoward happens.

No Action Yet on Simplicity 4-in-1 Convertible Bassinet Issue

We all want to have perfectly designed homes but there is such a thing as overdoing it. Too much color combination or even too much furniture enhancers can really wreck home designs if you think of it.

There are things to avoid and the art of being able to depict when you are overdoing it is really hard to do. For one, one’s taste is different from that of another. In fact, you may be surprised that a simple décor in your home may eventually gain a lot of praises.

You have your furniture around and some ambiance-setting ornaments and fixtures. Weigh it out and sometimes listen to simplicity calling.

Anyhow, here are some things you may want to avoid when decorating your home courtesy of Richmond Chic:

Toliet rugs- They should all be replaced with a pretty area rug or gorgeous textured rug that feels great to walk on barefooted. Never skimp on the details.

Fear of color- Being bold and choosing one is better than a house full of white and beige that feels as if you have walked into a hospital ward.

Outdated accessories- We all get attached to stuff. That doesn’t mean it has to stay around FOREVER.

Tacky couch covers- There has yet been created a readymade slipcover that looks good. Custom slipcovers and reupholstered furniture is the only way to change the look of an existing piece.

Pushed back furniture-Every piece of furniture in the room has been pushed to the back wall and everyone has to shout to have a conversation. This is the way most of us arrange our furniture.

Fake flowers-Not all of us can keep a plant alive. Fresh flowers, an indestructible house plant or beautiful, silk, tropical tree goes a long way in making your home inviting.

Improper lighting-I hate to use my over head light. The only time it comes on is when my husband has started to hyper-ventilate because he can’t find the remote.

Everything matches-Most of us would not be caught in public with a matchy-matchy outfit.

Following fads-What is hot today may go down in flames tomorrow. Don’t build a room around one fad. Live with a style you love and let the fads come in, as a little bling.

Keeping something you hate-For me, this would be my husband’s BIG SCREEN TV. Of course, this would probably cause a divorce or at the very least a whole heap of trouble.

Keep it simple and shy away from the various bedding designs that people find themselves raving about at the moment. The key towards building ideal homes is to be as basic as possible. Enhancements and improvements will fall in naturally and this is something that is prevalent in most endeavors done outside that of the usual complications of designs people gear for today.

Simplicity is the key towards following the ideal niche in home and bed designs today. Some tend to overdo it while others are left in the cold figuring out what to do overall. While we all want to make an impression, it would be best to start from basics and worry about appeal later on.

Pablo Platform Bed $404 (was $543) I love the superb modern style of this Pablo platform bed by Azura. The simplicity of it is what really grabs me, and it’s not everyday that you find a separated back board like the one seen here. Doesn’t it look great with the hardwood floor? I would match it with a baby blue or creamy yellow bedspread, myself, but espresso wood give you lots of color options. The metal detailing isn’t bad
