Decorating any space by yourself is never an easy task, the situation is sometimes difficult when you must decorate a small interior as it requires more planning and strategies. Today we will show you three infallible tricks that you can use when decorating your home. Let us begin!

Implement the right furniture

Sofas like the LC3 sofa or those that are created under the modernist theory, are the ones that will help you make the most of every corner of your house.

Le Corbusier, the creator of the LC3 sofa, believed that every house and piece of furniture was machines that should be optimized as much as possible. That is why he created the collection where this piece is included, since its structure is molded to optimally fulfill its function.

Place mirrors strategically

Implementing mirrors strategically is part of the infallible tricks! This will re00flect the rooms or spaces, making you believe that there are more meters than there really are.

Use shelves

The bookshelf is part of the furniture of every home. By soldering things like books, candles, magazines or any other accessory you can save space and use it for another purpose.

So whether you choose the LC3 replica sofa, vintage mirrors or bookshelf, any of the tips will help you create the illusion of a spacious space.

The entryways are part of the sections of your house that must also be decorated. These are usually left in oblivion since most of the time people focus on the kitchen and living room, but it should not be like that!

A classic from America! In this series the Egg chair made a big appearance as most of the set Betty works on is a redeemer of numerous Egg chairs.

Brief description of the Egg Chair

The Egg Chair is perhaps the most exponential chair worldwide within the mid-century style, this chair was designed by the incredible architect Jacobsen in 1958 for the inauguration of the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, this was the first skyscraper in Denmark.

Jacobsen was involved not only in the interior details of the building but also of its furniture, in the project the exterior and interior areas were included, so the surroundings of the room made the Egg Chair stand out above the other decorative elements. The project was undoubtedly a representation of how design and architecture can converge at the same point.

The uniqueness of the Egg chair can be seen in its iconic structure where Jacobsen used meticulous sculptural tectonics to mold it. Clearly modernist in scope, the chair’s curves offer a striking contrast to the building’s crisp geometric design – a block of flat surfaces made of glass and concrete.

In which movies has the Egg Chair appeared?

Men in Black – 1997

Who does not remember the famous scene of the agent played by WIll Smith killing a cockroach.

The Arco lamp can be your perfect assistant so that you can visualize everything correctly and nothing fails.

It’s your main focal point in the living room. It’s a considerable investment. It’s the place where you will seat and sleep for longs periods of time, but still, common mistakes are made when you buy a sofa. Don’t make these mistakes.

First mistake: Don’t  Measure. 

Is your priority. You should take care not only of having enough space for the couch inside your loving, but to make sure that people is will walk around comfortably around the furniture. And remember to measure, not only your room but your entrance and stairs/ access doors. That will save you a lot of bad moments.

Second mistake: Don’t choose a style. 

Are you buying just a couch and leaving all your living the same? or will you start a progressive or total renovation?. In the first case, you should buy a couch that aligns with your current style. For example, if you have green microfiber chairs, buying a black leather sofa is not a good idea. But if you are going to a reno, read some magazines, explore on the web and find the style that catches your eye the most. Your style is your decision and comes from the hearth. Look if you need specialized people to make it real.  

Third mistake: Don’t forget who’s living with you.

Do you have children or pets?. Fabric couches like microfiber or cotton can be very damaged by spills or scratches, so, the endurance of your furniture is an important factor when you have children and pets. Leather is a very good option when it comes to cleaning and endurance, and the Barcelona Sofa  is a very good witness of that.  

With the information of measures, type of coach and style, make a balance of what do you have in your balance, and buy the sofa you need. 

It was the summer of 1967 when in the neighborhood of Haight Ashbury near to 100 thousand people gather around if what they call it summer of love. A social phenomenon where young people, wearing hippie clothes converged in some kind of a fairy tale summit. Music, drugs, and psychedelia were all over the place, and the phenomena were replicated in many parts of the world. Most of them wore hippie clothes and most of the hippie clothes had Paisley patterns.

Paisley is an ornamental textile design using the buta, a teardrop-shaped motif with a curved upper end. It became popular in the west several times in history, especially during the XIX Century in Europe. In the XX Century became extremely popular in the end of the 1960s and in the 1980s, when they started to call it bacteria pattern.

The Grateful Dead and the Paisley Pattern, in 1967

Paisley has managed to survive it. It is very rich and complex, so it can be overused. Don’t use it on walls or floors, because it is too dense.   Keep it with soft tones, and restricted to small furniture and upholstery. Pair it with solid color furniture and other elements of design and you will enjoy a beautiful and vigorous pattern. Paisley is an all-time favorite of shirts and men’s ties. A Barcelona Chair with a couple of cushions upholstered in Paisley may be a bold try.

Now you know how to use patterns with your Barcelona Chair. Don’t lose the opportunity and go to Barcelona Design, the best place for Mid Century Modern furniture.
