One of the ways to both brighten and to give the illusion of more space in a room is by using mirrors throughout your interior design.  The Reflections Bedroom Set by Najarian Furniture simplifies this process by incorporating mirrors within the design of the furniture.

Each drawer front of the Reflections Chest, the Reflections Dresser, and the Reflections Nightstand has a mirror attached to it. The bed does not have any mirrors on it – which is perfect because as a set too many mirrors may have saturated the composition.Mirrored furniture will give your bedroom a fresh and glamorous look. It can also add another texture to your space by reflecting off of wallpapers and rugs.

In ancient Greece, mirrors were symbols of wisdom and self-knowledge. They reflected the physical world but were also seen as reflections of our souls.  Your bedroom can serve as your peaceful and serene sanctuary – a quiet and calm place for self-reflection.  Keeping that in mind, the Reflections Bedroom Set may be the perfect solution for your sleeping quarters.

Add splashes of vibrant color to your indoor and outdoor décor with the Frank Gehry Color Cube. This brightly colored and weather-resistant ottoman is designed by award-winning architect Frank Gehry.

Frank Gehry has designed a number of famous buildings around the world including the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, CA. Inspiration for the Frank Gehry Color Cube came after Gehry designed a sculpture called “Le Telephone” for French artist Sophie Calle in Paris, France. The sculpture was extremely colorful and colors for the cube were greatly influenced by this original sculpture. Additionally, in 2004, Gehry created the Frank Gehry Furniture Collection which is permanently on display in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munch, Germany.

“Le Telephone”

The Frank Gehry Color Cube is constructed using one piece of durable roto-molded polymer and is made in the USA. Characterized by sculptural monolithic forms, these pieces feature sleek surfaces and flowing lines. Innovative design for your home décor will always be in-style.

Recently, I have been thinking about changing up my bedroom set, unfortunately, my maple wood chest and dresser has seen better days.  In my opinion, the best bedroom furniture has a simple look and elegant design. However, I did not want to go for the standard, wood finish, rectangular set. Then I came across the Vivian Chest by Vervano and it was love at first sight!

This beautifully designed furnishing offers the simplicity of the standard rectangular design but with multi-faceted drawer fronts that pulls the eyes toward it at every glance. In addition to its chic appearance, the Vivian Chest is handmade in the USA using sustainably sourced wood material – making it both attractive and eco-friendly!

The Vivian Chest by Vervano is the perfect addition to any bedroom setting looking for traditional style with a contemporary twist.

I’ve written about the many amazing habitats that have been built high above us among the canopies of trees – so it got me thinking – what about habitats that reside below us?  There are far less human habitats under the sea but there was one restaurant I found particularly interesting in the Israeli resort of Eilat called The Red Sea Star Restaurant.

This incredible restaurant resides 16 feet below sea level and offers a unique “dry diving” experience. With two large windows at almost every table, diners can observe and enjoy the underwater scenery including the breathtaking wildlife that may pass by and the colorful coral garden surrounding them.

The underwater theme is carried throughout the design of the restaurant. The velvet chairs look like sea-urchins and jelly fish. The lights above are starfish shaped and sand is placed under an epoxy bonded floor below.

Wavy blue underwater light filters through the subsea pavilion from natural sources by day and by night the aquatic kingdom is softly lit by artificial light without disturbing the natural inhabitants.

 The Red Sea Star restaurant is one of the only underwater restaurants in the world and seems like enchanting experience that I would love to be able to see for myself one day.

The idea of storage is to create more space not less – that is why floating shelves are one of the hot interior design trends for 2014. Floating shelves are shelving that is mounted to a wall with no external support.  With these beautiful and functional units, there is no longer a need for solid cabinets in the kitchen, bathroom or other rooms in the home where storage space is needed. Minimalism is a central trend that generates more space and creates visual interest. For example, the lack of solid geometry can make a design more intriguing. Additionally, floating shelves take up less space and still offer the same storage capacity as the old solid cabinets.

Whether you’re spending a quiet evening at home with the family or going to a wild party in the city, bring in the 2014 New Year with a smile on your face and a song in your heart! Happy New Year!!!
