Bohemian style and its place in your home

Bohemian or Boho decorated homes are full of colors, emotions, exotic items, culture! The whole atmosphere is carefree, relaxed, and yet very intriguing. Every room, decorated in boho style is unique and very individual. Bohemian style is often chosen by people of art, constant travelers, actors and writers.
Bohemian homes like earth colors, warm colors, also metallic tones in each of their nuances. As base tones you can choose from the gray, green, brown range of colors. These cozy tones make the perfect neutral base and allows you to pile up expressive colors and patterns for your perfect mix. Accent the interior with brighter purple, rich orange or blue, add layers of textures and patterns. Play with the colors and make brave combinations to make your home alive. The same comes with textures and patterns – dream freely and mix different layers.
In regard to Decorative materials the ‘more is more’ philosophy is valid here. Gather items from other cultures, rich in symbols and history. Use your walls to show your favorite item – tapestry, art wall décor, rugs. They should have a little worn look, not shiny and new. Use lots of mirrors, candles, handmade items macramé art, fringe, crochet, tassels, pom poms. The whole feeling is for very cozy and comfortable space.
When choosing the furniture, look for old, vintage items. Every piece should carry special energy and story. The sofa and chairs are covered with plenty of plush, comfortable throw cushions, thick rugs, oversized floor pillows, big comfortable armchairs.
And don’t forget to add plants – Botanicals fit perfectly with bohemian style. They add relaxed vibe and dimension to the room. You will also get more fresh air, and will add one more color, without interfering too much with the rest of your design and making it too loud. Hanging plants are an excellent bohemian addition in any space, from a simple woven hanging basket, to something more ornate and sculptural – a variety of different plants in different scales are an effective way in bringing your bohemian style home to life.
If you are looking for a style that you can truly make your own, Boho might be for you. Use your imagination and express yourself freely to make your home outstand!

How to Mix and Match Throw Pillows

Decorating your home with pillows gives you the freedom to change the décor quick and easy according to your mood, season, or just to experiment with new designs. Living room, family room, or bedroom, every room will shine in a new way with several pillows added.
So why limit ourselves with just two or three solid color pillows, instead of letting our fantasy free in the great variety of patterns, textures and sizes. The good news is that pillows actually don’t have to match perfectly. Often great results are achieved when you experiment. Here are some tips from experts for mixing different patterns and colors, and still have stylish and beautiful result.
First, think about the idea you want to present. Are you fond of more neutral looks, then combine various earth and pastel tones, adding subtle textures or patterns. Or you are looking for something bolder? Then choose brighter colors and extravagant patterns and shapes.
If you start with colors, choose a general color palette, taking into account some basic furniture or wall color or curtains in the room. 3 to 5 colors would be great. In case you would like to add different patterns, the overall vision will still be cohesive if they at least share the same colors.
Here are some examples of color combinations that always look great together:
• Orange, green and purple
• Pale pink, navy blue and sky blue
• Deep red, orange and deep green
• Deep blue, pale peach, pale mint and orange
• Shades of blue and gold
• Magenta, navy blue and mustard
• Different tones of one color
Different patterns can also be mixed and matched. Here the rule is that each pattern should incorporate at least with one of the colors in the chosen palette. Choose your main pattern first, which is generally the largest pattern and the one that contains the colors in your color story. Then, the secondary patterns you select can contain just one or two of the colors. The size of the pattern also matters: choose a scale with different pattern sizes allowing one pattern to dominate. The main pattern should be the largest, and the most subtle – the smallest, like a solid color pillow.
Here are a few pattern mixing ideas for start:
• Geometric, floral and a solid color pillow
• Floral, stripes and a solid color pillow
• Animal print variations
• Dotted, floral and stripped pillow
Mixing textures should not follow strict rules. Play with your imagination and follow your sense for comfort, smooth touch, rough accent texture, softness and fuzzy look. Great number of variations here: faux fur, and velvet, linen, knit wools, playful pom poms and tassels. If you keep your color and pattern theme in mind, you can get creative with touch and feel.
In regard to numbers, odd numbers look modern, white even numbers look traditional. Even numbers give more balanced look, especially on your bed or couch. Sets of similar pillows, such as two or four, give more clean and orderly look.
When buying pillow inserts, you should look for a size bigger than the size of your cover. Inserts have the tendency to deflate easily, especially with extended use, and a larger size keeps them looking fuller longer.
Having this guide in hand, you can easily re-arrange your home, but never forget to follow your inner sense for fashion and comfort.

How to Choose the Perfect Throw Pillow

Throw pillows are a great addition to each home décor. Adding new pillows is the easiest way to change the atmosphere in your home, or just test new colors, textures or patterns. This makes decorative pillows the perfect accessory. When choosing the perfect pillow for your home, several basic factors are important:

1.     Size:Yes, size matters! The main thing to remember is that the pillow should always be proportional to the furniture where it will be placed. Tiny pillow on long sofa, bench or king size bed will be lost. On the other hand, too big pillow on an armchair or rocking chair will look overwhelming and uncomfortable. And don’t forget the pillow sets, placed on a single piece of furniture: they should be considered as one unit, chosen in perfect harmony and proportion.

2.     Shape: Pillows come in a variety of shapes. Square is the most common shape on the market. Square pillows are all-purpose, they can be put on any furniture and are easily combined. Rectangle pillows look good in the center of the sofa or the bed, in front of the other pillows. Round pillow is not such an universal option. These pillows should be used with attention, as they don’t fit to any furniture, bed or chair.

Color: In regard to Color, the pillow should complement the furniture where it will be sitting, so you should choose either similar color, or totally different to add contrast.
Pattern: With the pattern you can add accent to the room. If you like a particular pattern you can easily add it with a pillow. Or if you already have a favorite pattern in the room, you can use a pillow to add more of it. Experiment freely and add fun to the premises, just remember that too many patterns could look messy and confusing to the eye. Here it is also important to avoid too strong patterns on already patterned furniture. In this case a solid color pillow is better choice, to soften the whole experience.

5.     Texture: the texture is an important feature of the pillow. You should always pay attention if the texture of your throw pillows corresponds to the rest of the upholstery. Combining different textures is a great way to add debt to the room.

6.     Embellishments: pillow embellishments like buttons, ribbons or sequins also help adding an accent. These pillows look brilliant and outstand, but you should have in mind that they are more like decoration. If you are looking for comfortable pillow, you should avoid them.

With a new pillow, you can add different color, pattern, texture in an instant. The above advices will give you idea and a basic frame for finding the best pillow for you. But you should always follow your inner voice when decorating your home and create the atmosphere you feel great in.

How to take care of your Cotton Piece of Art

Cotton products are among the most soft and tender of all bedding. They are light and warm and will bring a sense of coziness in your home. Their valuable characteristics are numerous – they are anti-static, breathable and help regulate the body temperature avoiding sweating. Cotton is 100% natural fabric.
Please note: It would be completely normal if fluff appears at the beginning of use. This happens to all natural cotton products – it is a residue from the fiber produced when cutting the cotton. It’s helpful to sweep the rug with a stiff broom in the direction of the plush for the first few days. After that, a vacuum cleaner should be used. If you find a long or loose thread, cut it with scissors. Never pull the thread.
Cleaning
Hand wash with a mild detergent, using a soft brush or a sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water. Roll it inside a thick towel, then stand on it to remove as much moisture as you can.
Smaller cotton throws can be washed in a washing machine on gentle cycle with cold water. Wash separately. Let them air dry in the sun to kill odor-causing bacteria. Avoid washing them too often.
Never use harsh chemicals on cotton products, as this can harm the fabric. Steam cleaning is not acceptable.
Treating Stains on Cotton Products
Clean stains immediately so they don’t set into the fabric. Wipe up excess liquid as soon as possible. Treat the stain with a slightly wet cloth with a small amount of soap. Do not rub the fabric. Rinse and finish with a dry cloth.

How to take care of your Wool Piece of Art

Wool products are among the most durable and desirable of all bedding. They’re soft, warm and very difficult to stain or damage. Their valuable characteristics are numerous – they are Anti-allergic, Breathable and Antimicrobial. Wool naturally helps regulate body temperature and cancels out odors. It is anti-static and keeps the dust away. It is 100% ecological and biodegradable. The wool product will not stretch or sag and will keep its original form for many years on.
Please note: It would be completely normal if you notice the release of small hairs at the beginning of use. This happens to all natural wool products. Wool consists of very thin fine fibers of a certain length. The shorter fibers start moving in the yarn and come out on the surface. When this happens, just remove them carefully. After some time of use this release stops.
Cleaning/Self-cleaning
One of the most significant qualities of the wool is its ability to clean itself and neutralize bad odors. The surface of the fibers is water repellent, which prevents the growth of bacteria. The core of the fibers consists of two different cell types that absorb different amounts of moisture. One cell swells more than the other, causing constant friction. This mechanical movement creates the effect of self-cleaning.
To freshen up, regularly shake out your wool product and put it horizontally in a well-ventilated area – to let it “breathe”.
Dry or hand wash with cold water is recommended. Use a soft-bristle brush. Lay the wool products flat on the floor and brush down the long axis of it. This will ensure that the fibers of the wool are all lying in the same direction.
Never use harsh chemicals on wool products, as this will cause the wool to degrade.
Treating Stains on Wool Products
Clean stains immediately so they don’t set into the fabric. Mix warm water and mild detergent/often only cold water is enough/ and then soak the area of the stain. Use a clean cloth to blot the stain until it’s lifted. Don’t scrub the fabric.
Storing Wool Products
When not in use, store your wool products in a dark, cool and dry place. You can put them on a box, bin or bag, but the cover must be breathable. If pests are a concern, add a few cedar chips or woodblocks. Cedarwood is a natural flying insect repellent and a good alternative to mothballs. You can also use a bag of dried lavender.

Please follow the tips above and you will enjoy a beautiful long life product
