And, then, there was silence. That’s what you will be able to say buy the new Silenzio lamp, created by Monica Armani. Why? Because this amazing lamp can do a lot more than just providing light, and some good taste, to your room. The Silenzio lamp can absorb noise!

That’s right. Monica Armani’s creation is made with sound-absorbing foam and special fabrics that can “catch” the noise. It’s a great idea for a house or a room with a lot of echoes, because it really minimizes its effects, preventing sound from bouncing around.

Imagine you’re living in a house with kids or dogs (which you probably are). Wouldn’t this be an amazing addition to your living room? You can choose the models that hangs from the ceiling or the ones facing the wall. Consider it as an investment in your mental health.

Look carefully at these knives, cause they might confuse you. The design if from FDRL, a design office based in Ottawa, and they’re so Canadian they are called Maple Set.

Of course, they are made of maple wood, but they also look like they would chop your fingers off if you’re not incredibly focused on the carrot in front of you.

According to FDRL, these two knives may seem lightweight, but  ”their weight is balanced to ensure that they can be used by any level of chef”. Also, they ensure that the wood is sealed and allow an easy cleanup. That being said, what do you think about this Maple Set?

This awesome stool, shaped like a Canon lens, seems kind of fluffy, but it’s actually made of wood. However, it’s quite soft, comfortable and obviously amazing.

Photographers all over the world – both professionals and amateurs – won’t mind with the size of this lens, we’re sure. The stool was designed by Monoculo Design Studio and it’s for sale on the online shop Etsy for $760. Kind of mimicking the prices of real photography equipment…

The stool has some nice details like the cool color mix and the fact that it’s hand-made with Ayous wood.  People from Monoculo say it’s the ideal stool to have in your studio or even home, mainly because you can also keep your photography gear inside it, since the stool is hollow. But also because it looks really cool.

But what about if you have a small living room? Not a problem. Here are some awesome ideas to beautify and maximize your living room.

1.  Modern living room with an artistic touch

Ah, the contemporary living room. Here are some tips on how to combine simple, but stylish, wooden elements with lighter colors, creating a sophisticated room.

2. Unique monochrome living room

A beautiful black and white living room with little pops of color, especially the red, which combines perfectly with the monochromatic mix. Notice how the colors make the room seem so much bigger than it actually is.

3. Contemporary living room with unique furniture

This small living room only seems bigger because of the furniture choise: just a few interesting and unique pieces, that stand out in the naked space. It’s a modern living room and, although it doesn’t fit in all houses, if your home has a futuristic and slightly oriental touch to it.

4. Minimalist living room

Pretty, clean and functional. That’s the minimalist living room, with sober colors and sleek design ideas. The sofa is a bit big, but it’s great for a family that loves to relax in a nicely decorated room.

5. Artistic modern living room

This artistic living room is not that small – at least for normal people standards, millionaires will think otherwise –, but it’s on this list to show you how futuristic elements can go together with classic elements like wood and white walls.

6. Very unique minimalist living Room

The star of this minimalist living room is, definitely, that piece of furniture by the wall. It gives the room a whole different idea of space, making it seem wider. The big window also helps and the grey sofas and chairs are very in at the moment.

7. Stripes design

Do you love stripes? Then, this is the perfect stripes design for your living room, without seeming tacky or too overdone. The stripes are quietly present in almost every corner of this living room, from the lamps to the subliminal mirror reflection.

8. Studio type living room with unique furniture

The perfect idea to decorate the social area of a studio apartment. Just a few pieces of furniture with a unique design and uplifting colors. By placing them the right way, you can delimit the living room space.

9. Eco-friendly contemporary living room

Here’s a good example of how a really small living room can have everything a home needs. The big windows do half the job and then it’s just a matter of placing the furniture correctly. Do it right and you get lots of sitting places, so nobody has to stand while you’re receiving your friends, and a functional appearance.

10. Small living room with stone walls

If your house has a living room with stone walls, take some ideas from this decor example. It may seem strange, but the grey furniture really works with the natural tones of the walls. The living room seems really bigger, this way.

11. Beach-themed modern living room

The perfect decor for your beach house! Usually, people spend less time in their beach houses, so they look for a better deal and, therefore, get a smaller house. But here are some great tips to make it seem bigger, at least the living room, while you get to maintain the beach/nautical theme. The monochromatic colors with the bright wooden stairs give this beach-themed living room a modern touch.

12. Modern living room with matching color palettes

If you have a studio, a great way to differentiate the many “rooms” is to match color palettes. For instance, try to match the sofa color with the shelving tone in the living room area and you will get an organized space. Then, you can add some touches of color and make it more fun.

13. Modern living room with plasma TV

See how the plasma TV is so big, but is not occupying any necessary space in this living room? Well, that’s because one of the tricks you should use if you have a small living room is to attach the plasma TV on the wall and save space for the decorative details that make your house different.

14. Cozy living room with fireplace

A fireplace is always a great addition to any room, but especially to a living room. It makes it seem cosier and warms the house in the winter (okay… it’s also really good to roast some marshmallows, yummy!). But the best thing is to have a fireplace integrated in a beautiful wall piece like the one on the picture: it has a design element, lots of space to store things and some shelves to keep the decorative details.

15. Black and white modern living room

Here’s an amazing example of how a monochromatic mix of colors with classical elements, such as that chandelier, can be modern and sophisticated. The sleek lines of the furniture give this black and white living room a clean touch.

16. Oriental type living room with wooden furniture

What a marvelous and elegant little living room. See how the room is so well organized and still has lots of sitting spaces? And then there’s the oriental touch, present in the windows and the plants, which makes it different from all other small living rooms.

17. Beautiful living room with eating space

Check out this nice living and dining rooms combined into one. The space is so well organized that it seems we’re looking to two different rooms. However, despite the “separation”, the two spaces are linked and the energy flows through them thanks to the similar colors.

18. Small living room with different shades of brown

And, at last, here’s the “nature” living room. With different shades of brown and some pops of green, this organic living room makes us think about a small and dense forest.

When you invest time and money in your house’s decor, there are some details that won’t be as easy to find as you wanted. Details like a laundry basket, for instance.

Usually, people looking for something “insignificant” as a laundry basket will content themselves with the first one they find, as long as it’s not hideous. But, then, there are other people, really invested in the details, that will go the extra mile to have the laundry basket of their dreams.

Okay, we’re maybe overstating it. Anyway, we found a great decorative tip for laundry baskets that we want to share with you. You just need to get a laundry basket, of course, a stencil and your favourite color’s spray paint. Follow these next steps:

Let’s go with a cool pattern like Chevron. Tape the stencil in the right places and create the pattern.

Then, paint with the spray. You will have to spend more or less spray, depending on the color intensity you want to achieve.

Finally, just let it dry for several hours. Remember that, if you use more spray paint, you will have to let it dry more time. And it’s done! Time to enjoy your custom laundry basket.

You can stop fearing robbers at night with this special night stand. Turn from a sleepy weepy into a mighty knight in just a few seconds. Well, depending on how long you take to wake up.

The Self Defense Night Stand was designed for people who don’t like to have guns in the house (and for the geeks too…). You can just simply get up from bed, grab the stand’s base, using it as a club, and then the flat surface and use it as a shield.

We’re not sure if these tools can stop an armed gun, but in case you’re attacked by a medieval thief you’re safe.

The thing is that we know great home organization secrets and applying them to your house can spare you a lot of time, time you can spend relaxing. Ah, now we got your attention! Check our organization ideas and change your home environment!

1. Awesome Under the Stairs Storage

Have you ever thought about this option? Okay, it may not be easy to get one of these storage units, but if you’re thinking about remodeling at some point, consider including one of these under the stairs storage.

2. Using Cardboard to Organize Drawers and Shelves

This one is a ‘do it yourself’ kind of tip. Get some cardboard tubes or boxes and use them to organize your belongings, the same ones that are usually scattered around in drawers and shelves. This way, the next time you want to wear a scarf, for instance, you won’t loose 15 minutes looking for it.

3. Using Wine Racks to Hold Towels

Another tip that’s so easy to do and apply to any home. Do you have a beautiful wine rack that is lost in your garage and you don’t know what to do with it? Just hang it in your bathroom and store the towels in the racks. Besides being a great organization tip, it’s also a beautiful decorative detail.

4. Shoe Organizer for Cleaning Supplies Storage

Another great idea! Using a shoe organizer, the kind that you can get at any store, to keep your cleaning products always in the same position and separated from each other. And this is just one of the many things that shoe organizers can do.

5. Junk Drawer Storage

Do you hate to see your office supplies and generic “junk” lying around? Then, reserve a drawer just for these items – you can even call it the junk drawer – and organize its interior. This way, you stop clutter and small items from spreading around the house and, eventually, disappear.

6. Garage Ceiling Storage

Usually, garages are filled with clutter and things we don’t use, so every little inch of the floor is occupied. Then, if you need to storage more things (new clutter in the house?), what’s the solution? Well, look up! Use your ceiling to attach plastic storage units and “hide” the things you only use from time to time.

7. Use Shower Curtain Rings for Belt or Scarves Organizing

Cool idea… Imagine that, for some reason, you have extra shower curtain rings lying around. We bet you didn’t even think how they can be super useful. Place them on a coat hanger and use this new organizing object to keep your scarves or your belts, for instance. It’s great to hang necklaces too.

8. Pegboard Organization

The pegboard is a classic. We all know how great it is to organize and how many opportunities these amazing boards can offer. This is just one of them: again, it’s an organization device to keep all the little office supplies and useful clutter in the same place.

9. Clever Storage Idea for Pens

Every single parent goes through that daily moment that consists in gathering all their children pens, markers and crayons. But, if you create one of these systems – again, using a pegboard -, you can encourage the little ones to organize their own coloring supplies, saving you a lot of time and a possible slip in a lost crayon. It’s not as bad as stepping on a Lego, but it must hurt anyway.

10.  Paint Cans to Organize Small Items

Empty paint cans are great for organizing purposes. Just think: they have a good format, can be closed and have a handle to hang them wherever you want. Use them to keep your small clutter properly storaged.

11. Wooden Crates as Shoe Boxes

Have you ever thought that wooden crates could be transformed into cute shoe organizers? Neither did we. If you have a special talent for DIY, you can get some of these crates, paint them and hang them on the wall to organize your shoes. It’s also a great idea for a shoe shop.

12. Organizing Clothes

Underwear is, usually, one of the most difficult types of clothing to keep organized. The panties unfold every time we open the drawer and let’s not even talk about the sock drama. That’s why this piece of furniture, or other similar model, can be great to help you keep your underwear organized always in the same drawer.

You can choose from a whole world of pretty candles or beautifully designed diffusers. And there’s always the chance of adapting your house fragrance to your mood or to the needs of each room. Take a moment of your time and check our choices.

1. Design diffusers

Let’s start with the design diffusers and its fragrances. Lampe Berger Paris has some of the most interesting smells and beautiful diffusers we’ve ever seen. The brand has an amazing line of lamps that work as diffusers and come with rich fragrances. We chose an example!

This is the Heritage Green lamp and is just one of the examples of the great design that Lampe Berger Paris has to offer. You can add to this lamp a fragrance from one of the seven available smell options: Dreams of Fruits, Dreams of Flowers, Dreams of Freshness, Sweet Dreams, Oriental Dreams, Dreams of Exploration, Pure Dreams and Functionals.

We think that you should always pick your house fragrance according to your mood, so here are three examples:

Grapefruit passion: the best choice to celebrate a happy day with the family.

Lavender Fields: to help you relax during a bubble bath.

Paris Chic: a sophisticated scent, ideal to receive your friends for dinner.

Lampe Berger Paris also has another diffuser line, with different smells. Our favourite one is the Black Wooden Cube, from the line Ambiance Contemporaine.

This line works with different fragrances and we chose the most curious smell we could find, called “Love Affair!”.

This is the right smell for your house if a romantic night is in your plans.

2. Reed diffusers

This is the NEST Fragrances Bamboo Reed Diffuser, with a fresh and clean smell that helps to purify your home. It’s great to use in the living room or in the bedroom.

This musky scented reed diffuser, called India Hicks Island Night Fragrance, is perfect for scenting your house during a small party. The mix has a blend of purple and white orchid, with touches of jasmine and orange blossom.

This is the Antica Farmacista Acqua Home Ambiance Perfume. Just perfect for the bathroom because of its fresh smell.

3. Candles

This is the best candle to place in your kitchen. It’s the Lime, Basil and Mandarin mix from Jo Malone, with a fresh and sweet smell. It promises to uplift the environment.

This next one is the perfect candle to burn in the kids bedroom. The scent is yummy and fresh, so it will leave a nice smell without being too overpowering. It’s the Capri Blue Mercury Glass Candle.

And, to finish, here’s the perfect candle to burn in your office, while you’re working. The smells of lilac and ivy from the Spring Candle will help you concentrate.
