In this digital time, it’s strange that we are still so drawn to furniture pieces that were designed way back in the sixties. Even well into 2018, the mid-century style still has an enduring popularity. This can be based on many factors – ranging from the minimalist design, to the love for different materials and gentle organic curves in furniture. Or, it could be just a subtle nostalgia for the good old times.
It doesn’t take much effort to transform a room with accessories – all you need is some free time, willingness, and a good source of inspiration. But when it comes to the bedroom, although you might have both – the time and the willingness, I bet that many of you struggle with finding inspiration, considering how this room strives towards serenity and is best left with minimal décor. This leaves you with very little ideas to work with, but if you put just enough thought into it, you might find that the solution is hiding right next to your pillow. What do I mean? Well, a unique and nicely decorated nightstand can be THE piece of furniture you need to freshen up your bedroom design.
They key to a happy home might as well be well-chosen bedding, if you ask me. Just think about it – on average, we spend 8 hours a day in bed, which is a whopping 2 920 hours a year. And what do we wrap ourselves in when the nights get colder? A warm and soft doona, of course. And if you get cold easily, a doona might be the one piece of topper you can use throughout the whole year.
Growing old is part of life, whether we like it or not. And the older we get, the frailer our bodies become. Not only our body becomes feeble, but also our brain gets slower, and our senses duller. So, by the time we’re in our 80s, even performing the simplest everyday tasks becomes a difficult or even impossible chore.
Let’s have a chat about coffee, over coffee (I’m having my cup as I’m writing this). It’s not surprising to see why there are so many coffee addicts: it’s energising, and just what we need to get us on our feet in the morning, especially for those of us who aren’t morning persons.
The warehouse is an environment of a great deal of movement, full of people, vehicles, and products that we end up buying, be it furniture, clothing, electronics, decoration, or food, or industrial products. Depending on their size, and the amount of stock, they can fill up shelves, whole rooms, or even areas.
Regardless of the number of items that find their way in a warehouse, it’s important to keep the environment safe, and organised, which as a result makes the warehouse a success. Accidents don’t only lead to damages of products (greatly affecting the budget), but also injuries of staff. In other words, safety is crucial, so investing in the adequate safety equipment is a necessity.
Living in the 21st century, it’s impossible not to get stressed on a daily basis. In this aspect, it’s not an exaggeration to say stress has become the synonym of modern life. Stress at home, stress at the working place, stress over finances, stress over food… when is it time to get a bit of relaxation?
Okay, so it’s safe to say the world has been under a spell thanks to Scandinavian culture and design trends. Unlike other trends, this one proves to be timeless, taking into account it’s been around for some time now, and the more we see and know of it, the more we like it.
