TURN UP THE SWANKY FACTOR IN YOUR HOME
You don’t need to be a trained stylist or interior decorator to turn your humble abode into your cosy or swanky retreat place that you look forward to returning to every night after work. Sometimes all you need is a little vase, a cushion in a cosy material or a bright rug to liven up an otherwise dull room. You’ll love being at home even more!
Just like accessories and jewellery are used to express your personality, so can your home through home accessories. And with most of us seeking to be individual and different, there’s no easier way to change up the look of a room with some minor adjustments, like a new lamp or rug, or a cluster of vases.
While some lamps almost seem like small pieces of art, others work wonders in giving a room character. Brass, copper, silver and gold are some of the metallic materials trending right now, and paired with cool or classic lamp designs their majesticness doubles up. In fact when being lit from within they become luminous sculptures that can truly personalize your home.
But functionality plays a key role in choosing the right type of lamp. Sitting in the sofa reading magazines you need one kind of light. Lying in bed turning pages in a thriller you need another. And when it comes to changing the atmosphere of a room – your needs change once again. By considering functionality carefully when choosing your lighting you’re in for a much better experience.
Vases can sometimes be overlooked, but they bring a lot to a room. They come in all shapes, sizes and materials, and they can do much more than just hold beautiful flowers; they are also clean and simple sculptures. Rich metallics are mixed with amber and earthy tones to achieve a heavy elegance. Hints of whites and soft water colours lift the expression and ensure a feminine touch.
Tone-in-tone trends are very popular and monochrome room sets add to a sense of serenity and well-being. Raw contrasts, graphical and industrial materials such as concrete on vases, tealight holders and lamps is another big trend, and unexpected details give the style a fresh, modern twist.
Rugs can instantly change the mood of a room. Choosing exclusive handmade rugs means you’re also buying into unique pieces of art, that you will get to enjoy for years to come. They come in different textures, patterns, materials and sizes so you can enjoy playful or elegant patterns.
Natural cowhide rugs remain a favourite and with the many patterns available, they provide a luxurious, elegant feel on the floor. Shaggy rugs look great in the living area underneath sofas, but so do the woollen, low-pile rugs in a multitude of patterns and colours, as they can really stand out in a room.
The BoConcept accessories collection is all about soft and honest materials such as ceramics, metal, leather and wood in contemporary shapes and mixes, with the focus being on balance and harmony. The collection offers quality pieces at excellent value for money.
What’s more all rugs and lamps are on 20% off until end December 2014!
