Some tips from Fashion Designers for Extreme Cases

One of the disadvantages of living in an overpopulated city lies in the rationalization of space and high cost per square meter. Another is that in metropolitan centers of culture and fashion, trends abound and are installed as Latin American dictatorships in the twentieth century, and what is new and modern today as it will not be tomorrow (this is the great paradox of savant-grade art of ‘20, now called historical savant-grade). If we accept that the word cool is an empty category must be completed, finally understand the reason why we ended up accumulating objects that become obsolete or outdated (ironically, the more modern, more current is the object rapidly become outdated, and well, after a year-to be optimistic and say six months or two-we buy a new mobile phone because our new and old, is G3 not G4: the fate of the numbers is ineffable …).

Then discuss the best options to furnish spaces taking into account current trends in interior design and fashion furniture; fashions and trends which, fortunately, have remained stable for a longer time period.

When it comes to departments and small departments, one of the biggest challenges lies in furnish a 1 room and 2 rooms (bathroom, kitchen, two bedrooms) pool areas and become a “multifunctional”. Of course, the bathroom remains kitchen and bath, kitchen, the vast majority used as fourth bedroom and the other as a living-dining room.

To optimize the space housing the functionality is key to optimize the space of a dwelling addition to the functionality intelligently we will utilize the illusion, the illusion of space and specialization.

* Furniture-clear glass although imposing fashion are the black-glass furniture is a great help to create the illusion of spatial, and to complement it with the functionality, an expendable table transparent or opaque glass.

Depending on the corners of the room will agree one panel (not extend) or a square table or a rectangular table

* Identifying the corners: The corners are the areas most “unruly” especially when trying to furnish it. However, there are furnishings that are designed specifically for space corners. Locating a TV table corner can be a strategic choice: for at this angle is increased visibility they have the TV on each point of the room. In case of using a conventional TV cabinet, it is preferable that the furniture is low, not to decrease the height of the walls. In the same vein, a desktop PC Corner is also a good way to maximize space, and students also are useful with desktop PC furniture and shelves.

* Storage. As mentioned above, the accumulation of objects is a mark of modern man (and also the Urones). Not just about clothes, books, CD’s, but also of all the little things necessary but annoying: cables, plugs, batteries, leaflets, bills paid, etc.., Etc., And so on. Of course there are furniture especially for storage, as files to CDs, libraries, sideboards and cabinets, but so much furniture in small spaces or recharged simply do not enter the environment. That’s why each piece of furniture should be chosen with awareness not only of style but also its storage capacity. Non sobreamueblar the living room, it should tap other crannies that often collect dust, as under the bed: in this case can incorporate drawers underneath for books and magazines, you can use on the wall shelves.

* Decoration: For some, not feel guilty for not displaying small objects at home as figurines, ashtrays and ornaments in general when they are gifts for others, try to resist the temptation to acquire this universe of unnecessary items once they have accumulated enough of them, at least clear who wish to create a modern replica of rococo cloying. A pair of decorative objects as two statues and a vase are not harmful, but one must always keep in mind that there are other more suitable objects: the pictures are one of them, since they use the wall space instead of the small area available. Mirrors are great illusionist trick, because they serve not only to amplify light, but also to multiply the spaces. The Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles is the great example: mirrors, windows reproduced that are in front of them turning themselves in windows overlooking the garden of the palace. For fans of mirrors also exist today, mirrored furniture.

Many times it is inevitable to associate fashion and design with frivolity, especially by some designers we see on television that use words like “gorgeous” “fantastic” or “fabulous” repeatedly. Anyway we must understand that interior design can be seen as a means to achieve “inner peace”: fashion zen and feng shui realize faith in the design to achieve mental states. Without being extremists and saying that interior design will solve all our problems (including mental), if we recognize, along with naturalist writers, that the media influence the individual. As we are already sufficiently influenced and conditioned by society, family, education, mass media and end the time-space location where we insert (remembering that we are born into a system and an order of things we is imposed and it is very difficult to change), the only place we can choose what to do and how to do it with complete freedom is in our homes, our inviolable private and intimate spaces.
