Hello! My name is Michael and I am a teddy bear. My mother has hand knitted me from cotton (60%) and acryl (40%). Since I am a fashion addict I asked her to make me some cool trendy clothes: now I have a knitted hat, a flower bracelet, a sweater, pants and slippers (but wouldn’t mind if…
Natural materials at home are considered to be a sign of good taste, because they are durable, eco-friendly and beautiful. Today they are widely used in interior design, because of the popularity of such “close-to-nature” styles as Scandinavian, Country and Ethnic. Especially in-trend today is plywood, and there is nothing surprising – this material has beautiful warm colour,…
I don’t know when and where exactly I heard the word “hipster” for the first time. Most probably it was in one of those TV programs talking about popular contemporary subcultures.
Woohoo! Finally my vacation officially starts today (and the train ticket for today already in the pocket)! It will be 10 days of doing literally nothing, enjoying life, meeting my relatives and having lots of rest. In my plans: – sleep at least 9 hours – do sports every day: swimming and cycling – read…
Summer in Moscow is the cherished time when on Fridays the whole city gets stuck in three hour traffic jam to get out to the longed countryside and “dachas” – our second houses in the exurbs. My parents also do have one, and this Saturday after several hours spent in attempts to kill the time, calm down…
Last week I’ve visited Arch Moscow 2014 – exhibition of design and architecture. Very interesting was the seminar called “How global trends affect our bathing and eating habits”. It was organised by Sieger Design and was led by the eldest of brothers (owners of the company) – Christian Sieger. His insights about tendencies in bathroom and…
Have a look at this room at Hotel Au Vieux Panier in Marseille, France: Striking, no? As you probably guessed, this post will be about the use of graffiti in interior design. Many people associate it only with a street art, however graffiti can be used indoors too, converting the ordinary room into a provocative, bold…
In this post I want talk about the company, which has recently caught my attention. It is called Kichi Home and it produces one-of-a-kind home textile collections made of natural fabrics – hemp and linen. As I mentioned before in the previous posts, I am head over heels for those materials and I was very…
Bank holidays are over here in Latvia and it feels like this long weekend was pretty short indeed. At the same time it was full of memories and emotions as we’ve spent amazing time in Tallinn and Helsinki. My camera is full of photos and hopefully, I can share some with you later this week….
Last week I had a chance to visit exhibition of stabilized plants. To be honest that was the first time I heard about them and I was quite surprised and amazed. If you haven’t heard about them too, here is a little explanation. Stabilized plants are basically natural plants, such as decorative trees and flowers,…
Sometimes new is well forgotten old. Trends in interior design, the same as in fashion, are cyclical and tend to come back after several years. Plants in home decor is a good proof for that. I don’t know whether it was the same in your house, but in my childhood our home was decorated with…
I must admit that I am a very contradictory person: my emotions, taste and preferences sometimes change so quickly that I even hardly follow them myself. The same refers to my choices in interior design. Depending on my mood I can be inspired by totally different things. For example, recently I’ve been advocating black as…
