Decorating with Greenery

Home decorating with the Pantone of the year: Greenery

The Pantone colour of the year is a significant element for any interior designer. As it happens Pantone has announced the 2017 colour of the year, this year we move away from the warming pastels to a zesty neon colour. Greenery is the colour of the year and we can’t express our excitement!

The colour is described by Pantone as a “fresh, yellowish hue that symbolises the reawakening of nature in spring and is a symbol for a new beginning.” However, there is a much deeper meaning to Greenery. It is a symbol of the rapidly increasing desire for a new hope in a complex social and political environment. Furthermore, it symbolises our growing desire for a renewed connection and unity with nature and our fellow human beings.
Using this zesty colour can be daunting however we are here to help you blend it into your home’s interior. Let’s have a look at some of the ways you can blend the colour into your interior.

Walls

Incorporating Greenery can easily be done by creating an accent wall. In whatever room you decided to create the accent wall it will be eye catching. The wall can either be painted or covered with wallpapers with patterns or just the new trendy shade.

Textiles

For those people that don’t want to make serious changes, you can incorporate greenery colour textiles to your decor. The bedding, blankets, curtains, scatter cushions, throws, rugs and upholstery will make your interior stylish and bold. However, the colour is very eye catching and using too much of it not a good idea. Less is more in this case.

Furniture

Furniture is another wonderful idea to incorporate Greenery in your home. With furniture you have a wide range of possible pieces and styles to choose from; chairs, sofas, ottomans and even headboards can be used. Use some accessories or artwork to echo with the bold colour furniture. A wonderful piece of furniture to incorporate in your home is the London Chesterfield Sofa. Master crafted to perfection and upholstered with 100% genuine leather the London in our Born Signature Green Leather is sure to add a touch of elegance to your space and it will create a marvelous focal point in your space.

In addition to the ways you can incorporate the colour in your home, Greenery shades looks wonderful paired with neutral colours. Pairing Greenery with neutral colours will be very eye-catching. On the other hand it can also be used in unexpectedly colourful ambiences, like hot pink, navy, black, blue will create a bold statement. Therefore, Greenery can be paired with neutrals, brights, deeper shades, pastels and even metallics.

Greenery in and around your home

Love your space

Using your space properly

Creating the perfect living area that is comfortable yet stylish is not a difficult task. However, a living space that is perfectly laid out, comfortable, have enough storage space and is pleasing to the eye, now that sounds hard to accomplish. Luckily, we as Born Furniture is here to show you how easy it can be to use your space properly.

You have to find the right balance in your space, you have to consider the colour you use, the lighting and the design. Colour has everything to do with the ambiance in a room. Choosing the colour for a room is based on the mood you want and how well the light supports that illusion. Using light colours will open a room and create a sense of space and dark colours contract a space. Therefore, use colours that suit your space.

Furthermore, create harmony in your space by considering balance and proportion. Balance the elements in your space, for instance if you have large pieces of artwork on a wall, pair it with a floor lamp on the opposite wall. The proportion of your furniture also should be considered.

Whether you are planning your living space for a new home or just want to change things up a bit, you have to understand the scale of furniture and its relationship to the room. Understanding this can help you create a comfortable and functional space. We can also advise you on the size of your furniture when we help you choose the right pieces for your room

Keep in mind the proportions of your furniture you want it to coordinate with the proportions of the room. Bulky and overstuffed furniture are overwhelmingly comfortable, however if your space is small large furniture will let your space seem overcrowded. Likewise, if your space is large and you use small-scale furniture the furniture will fade in the room. Therefore, use furniture that will suite your space.

Frequently used in most households are sofas. Buy a good-quality sofa that is durable, comfortable and maintains its look. Using a sofa in your living space will vary due to your personal requirements. If you want two sofas and have a large space go for it, if you have a small space and want to use a sofa have a look at all your options. In a small space a sofa can seem quite overpowering as it takes most of your space, and it overs minimal seating. Therefore, use a sofa that fits your space. However, if you struggle to find a sofa suited for you consider love seats, they are lovely small pieces of furniture providing enough extra seating space. Another option is to use a Chaise or a window seat.

To provide extra seating in your space you can add occasional chairs to your space. Additionally, ottomans can also be used. A wonderful advantage of an ottoman is to multi-purpose use, the ottoman provides extra seating, can be used as a table and can be easily stored away once it is no longer needed. In addition it also carries aesthetic value that serves.

In most homes there is always a shortage of storage space. You can either choose to create more storage space or you can buy furniture with a multi purpose. Firstly, you can create more storage space by use the space between the tops of furniture and the ceiling with hanging or high-mounted elements, for example, space above the stove can be filled with kitchen cabinets for extra storage space. Furthermore, you can also build shelves in the open areas in your home or use the space under your staircase as storage units.

Secondly, there is a large variety of multi purpose furniture like a storage unit that can function as an ottoman or table. Another alternative is furniture that can be a sofa by day and a bed by night.

Have some open spaces that you have no idea what to do with? You can fill the space by creating a personal space to relax. Place a comfortable chair in a corner that can be used as extra seating for guests or a reading corner for you to relax in. High-back chairs are perfect for corners, the height of the chairs fills open spaces effortlessly. Another possible solution is to use a table, the table can be used as a desk as well. This will give the space an elegant and calm ambience. As creators of empowering furniture, Born Furniture can manufacture any item according to your required measurements, so filling those empty spaces can be done effortlessly.

Have fun creating your perfect living space, contact us to let us help in the process.

Out with the old and in with the new

Out with the old in with the new

The new year is an excellent time to change some aspects of your life. Focusing on a new approach to life can be beneficial to you. However, changing your life can be difficult if you are stuck in the same routine and habits. Allowing yourself to embrace your new approach to life will be difficult if you are in the same environment. Embracing the new chapter in your life means letting go and adjusting. There will be no point in renewing your life if your living space is just going to stay the same. Changing your home and office space can help with your renewed life.

Firstly, your home is the space you spend most of your time meaning you have to use this as a starting point. Start off by upgrading your furniture with something different like a wonderful Chesterfield sofa. The different style in your home can be a wonderful addition to your home, not just as a stylish piece of furniture but as a reminder of your new life approach. In addition, change the artwork in your space, a new piece will help embrace the new way of living. We at Born Furniture suggests a De Lende paired with your Chesterfield. One of De Lende’s fine-art photographs can take your room to the next level as a decor piece.

In addition, you can move around furniture in your home, for example, an old cabinet from your bedroom to your dining room. Alternatively, you can be bold and repurpose a room in your home create a home office or a guest room for the new opportunities in your life.

Your workspace should be an area to be creative and productive. With regards to your new way of life, you should transform your office to align with your renewed life. Hang pictures, mottos and images that symbolize what you want to accomplish. Furthermore, choose office furniture and accessories that portrait your renewed life approach. You should spend time equipping your working space better by creating a calming and protective atmosphere and allow your renewed life energy to flow in your space. Create this working space for yourself and you are sure to live your new approach to the fullest.

Change is good! And an “out with the old and in with the new” approach is an excellent way to life a renewed life.
