When you’ve matured along with your taste in interior décor, you’ll start to realize that your walls deserve much more. And to be honest, there’s nothing like artwork to give life to boring walls and make a home complete. Art has the unique power to give any space more depth and more soul.

Bentwood Chairs: the Classic Design That Bends Time and Trends

Today, you wouldn’t exactly consider these wooden chairs with scrolls and contoured backs as modern, but when they first appeared they were light years ahead of their time. In fact, it was in the mid 1800s when German cabinetmaker-turned-chair-revolutionary, Michael Thonet, unveiled the silhouettes we’re so familiar with today – the bentwood chairs. It was the first time such a production method was used – heating wood to bend it into improbable chairs. The result was graceful, sculptural and surprisingly comfortable seating.

You begin your day with checking your email and end it by sending one from bed right before you set the alarm clock. You work overtime just because you’re left with one more task to finish and well, because it conveys an impression of a rather hard-working person.

The Subtle Message You Send Out with Your Letterbox

Recently, I had to deliver a hundred leaflets across my neighbourhood, inviting people to discuss the matter of the local government cutting down some of the trees on our street. The sad thing I learned was that generally, people were not interested in this problem. Another thing that I learned was that some of them have really gone a long way in styling and decorating their outdoor spaces. I was quite impressed. What mainly caught my attention and made me think a bit about the different kinds of people in my neighbourhood? Their letterboxes. From old, plain ones, to futuristic and stylish ones, I came across a variety of letterboxes in all colours and materials. I got to confess, this inspired me to replace my old, boring letterbox with a new one that speaks to my personality.
