Fill the jar with a bunch of your favourite flowers, I chose baby's breath this time (though they are not my favourite they create a dreamy ambience). Now wrap the battery-operated string light around the jar and keep the battery unit on the cake board/tray/plate whatever you are using. It's now time to hide the batteries. Place flowers of your choice on the cake board around the jar so that they cover the base entirely. Now place the entire setup wherever you want. I place it on my coffee table and this glass jar centrepiece did add a touch of glam during the festivities. </span></div><div><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVM4qDlwHnpk8nNlMIOcLGJDiT-8ttBed4Lf6DhaoOjXQNaduSn0mIC7Apray6TyHIon1zHSJ14DJQJd7FYCiCzHPdw6mfAvb67xoOjtb2_HrAeNfiSsfcJ4se3CjZAYPaPhuM2yznEpNI8hOxLa6ip0xZxV_Pw9i0P6zEuVLbDUIBLzgdbymK8Q1M/s2489/Glass%20Jar%20Centrepiece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2489" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVM4qDlwHnpk8nNlMIOcLGJDiT-8ttBed4Lf6DhaoOjXQNaduSn0mIC7Apray6TyHIon1zHSJ14DJQJd7FYCiCzHPdw6mfAvb67xoOjtb2_HrAeNfiSsfcJ4se3CjZAYPaPhuM2yznEpNI8hOxLa6ip0xZxV_Pw9i0P6zEuVLbDUIBLzgdbymK8Q1M/w441-h284/Glass%20Jar%20Centrepiece.jpg" width="441" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Glass jar centrepiece idea</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Below is the complete video to understand how I created these festive centrepieces using glassware, flowers and candles.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/ySe-TW0QYL0" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>2. Glass tealight centrepiece:</b><br />For this centrepiece, you will need small glasses, a bunch of tiny flowers like lavender, aster, baby's breath or Limonium flowers, twine and tealights. It's a simple centrepiece idea. First, you need to cut the flower stalks to match the height of the glass. Now tie the twine loosely around the glass and start inserting the flower stalks one next to the other until the entire glass is covered. Tighten the twine and make a nice bow. Now fill the glass with water and float a tealight in it. This glass and flower tealight centrepiece looks mesmerising. I created it with two different types of flowers.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiW5fSjoYra5M-Rb7kRWJonqxbc2v6PFvmArfrboSQ8fUl--6EmsWvvOBMs-0No02soAklAKfTaYGVUug5YBpDpvE8mEiYvc5eZa3G-vUQjIEhHdf4oyy4JF2CvOuU3iLFx_T5DmnU_bVAl4YRofZY9b3_Fdy84TDhZ7rTLK6oPa1TRtlJlS937kW3/s2849/Flower%20Glass%20Tealight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2849" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiW5fSjoYra5M-Rb7kRWJonqxbc2v6PFvmArfrboSQ8fUl--6EmsWvvOBMs-0No02soAklAKfTaYGVUug5YBpDpvE8mEiYvc5eZa3G-vUQjIEhHdf4oyy4JF2CvOuU3iLFx_T5DmnU_bVAl4YRofZY9b3_Fdy84TDhZ7rTLK6oPa1TRtlJlS937kW3/s320/Flower%20Glass%20Tealight.jpg" width="180" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Glass & flower tealight centrepiece</td></tr></tbody></table><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhki0hFLJ_8H9T8Fs0mHBADYV3bs0WhWC4uMTSnNu4-BRE7BiuXM3a2rMmJsFqSbRrz5z3MrssbsOUFJPw-LAhtB9bmnLsgAZppC41av-cgDw9l8RfNwegtHopY3OjR9B2RinFUUXDpR4kYgbSbEJ9Xe6117yp1G9Xf5uV_acruvITG7-4nyl-PGDew/s2849/Glass%20Tealight%20Centrepiece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2849" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhki0hFLJ_8H9T8Fs0mHBADYV3bs0WhWC4uMTSnNu4-BRE7BiuXM3a2rMmJsFqSbRrz5z3MrssbsOUFJPw-LAhtB9bmnLsgAZppC41av-cgDw9l8RfNwegtHopY3OjR9B2RinFUUXDpR4kYgbSbEJ9Xe6117yp1G9Xf5uV_acruvITG7-4nyl-PGDew/s320/Glass%20Tealight%20Centrepiece.jpg" width="180" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><b>3.

I used the cake board and placed a floral foam on it leaving about 4 inches margin. Make sure the floral foam is moist. Now take flowers that have sturdy stalks like roses, gerbera and mums. Cut the flower so that it has 2-3 inches of stalk and now insert it in the flower foam as shown in the video. Cover the base (cake board) entirely. Now, on the floral foam place a squat glass and press it gently so that it is slightly embedded in the foam. now place a candle inside the glass. See if the foam is still visible then you can add more flowers to hide it. I added some baby's breath to do so. Now light the candle and be ready to be praised by your guests :)</span></div><div><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivWT43f8TTB8M0U3VkQaIVjjt7EIKK4YVb8s49ct_CMGGoclhGwMtnWwiwbKldRFcBHomyWA2BDGd3VAiICTHjcGpFzgP5oJMrVxkpq4oHUEHmpZ4JxVuvL1mQQNdxZ1lAUHo8d6ZdiDGt8cHGJgdA96XWM_JuzPeuYTEimmeO3nTsG4vipwwFxgQc/s2849/Candle%20Flower%20Centrepiece%20Idea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2849" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivWT43f8TTB8M0U3VkQaIVjjt7EIKK4YVb8s49ct_CMGGoclhGwMtnWwiwbKldRFcBHomyWA2BDGd3VAiICTHjcGpFzgP5oJMrVxkpq4oHUEHmpZ4JxVuvL1mQQNdxZ1lAUHo8d6ZdiDGt8cHGJgdA96XWM_JuzPeuYTEimmeO3nTsG4vipwwFxgQc/w444-h250/Candle%20Flower%20Centrepiece%20Idea.jpg" width="444" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Flower & candle centrepiece idea</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This festive season, try to include glassware in your decor.

Sustainability</strong><br />We are well aware of climate change hence sustainability is the need of the hour. More conscious decisions are being made when it comes to home décor and interior design. Sustainable and eco-friendly choices have become the top priority for many homeowners. Recycling, upcycling and DIY home décor is making their way. Be it furniture, home décor accessories or building materials consumers are designing their homes keeping sustainability in mind. I couldn’t be more pleased as I have been practising sustainability for a really long time and most of the things in my home are either recycled, upcycled, DIYed or reclaimed. Not to mention, I prefer to shop locally and sensibly. A sustainably designed home is not only unique and beautiful but good for the environment too.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja2a6I0ext_GkAEoM3vZDuJ5MBqUgCBFF5W6U9oR4qGWsADb9kL0YRknnZVBEvb0o3zZrMYQVVlEczgvTGMi3m7wxjaG_kSUkJjiegjH3kesrEyP2E2Ff1a1aKtTASjSfkVAcKFJ_1igmGBbkwK4uc4pZcU9vo5qv996v6kwKjV0CKWZNkeAR8o4u_/s1920/interior-gc8d6b09b2_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1269" data-original-width="1920" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja2a6I0ext_GkAEoM3vZDuJ5MBqUgCBFF5W6U9oR4qGWsADb9kL0YRknnZVBEvb0o3zZrMYQVVlEczgvTGMi3m7wxjaG_kSUkJjiegjH3kesrEyP2E2Ff1a1aKtTASjSfkVAcKFJ_1igmGBbkwK4uc4pZcU9vo5qv996v6kwKjV0CKWZNkeAR8o4u_/w481-h283/interior-gc8d6b09b2_1920.jpg" width="481" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Handpainted Pots</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: left;"><strong>2. Private/Multifunctional Spaces</strong></p><p>Experts anticipate a shift in design layout from an open plan to segmented or broken plan living spaces with dual purposes. We can call it a pandemic incited trend. With all the family members spending more and more time at home the need to create private spots is on the rise. A broken plan layout leads to a space crisis so making use of every inch of your space is a smart move. Spaces are being designed to create multifunctional areas in the house. A home office can serve the purpose of a study or teaching space or an art studio or a start-up headquarters when needed.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD8J4ICmUn_3KGLmen3aXZD6UYXbz0Dm-DMBgoC9HNSmfwT9TxIy7T8NwOZZu8K4RqWVRmr_k8kJOBsG7LZ4Sl1UGD36fWwjFayN1d77jQMKSibOQMiirQMJ8hvEDh71uzrkeqOzDflgvgFfKULRD0-D6EQcOsLVSh5ygD0itDNIxSoBPE6-xOitCw/s1920/children-g660d6045d_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1545" data-original-width="1920" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD8J4ICmUn_3KGLmen3aXZD6UYXbz0Dm-DMBgoC9HNSmfwT9TxIy7T8NwOZZu8K4RqWVRmr_k8kJOBsG7LZ4Sl1UGD36fWwjFayN1d77jQMKSibOQMiirQMJ8hvEDh71uzrkeqOzDflgvgFfKULRD0-D6EQcOsLVSh5ygD0itDNIxSoBPE6-xOitCw/w514-h323/children-g660d6045d_1920.jpg" width="514" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Multifunctional Space</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><strong>3. Decorative Laminates Are Here to Stay</strong><br />When it comes to the most widely used material in the home interiors Decorative laminates top the list. The use of laminates is not restricted just to the furniture, it can be used on various surfaces like walls, floors, cabinets and countertops. Laminates not only enhance the overall look of the base material but also protect it from damage and make it lasting. If you are designing or decorating your space then the right selection of laminates is a key to creating an aesthetically pleasing and timeless design that will last long. Laminates are the preferred choice of homeowners as they are scratch-resistant, heat resistant, stain proof, low maintenance and long-lasting. Decorative laminates blend seamlessly in any decorating style hence making it the right choice for the people who keep changing their house interiors every few years.<p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9Eemf8mxp_kYqnWolNbT6eOd6PKZG5fGosvReDGzlw3cmqJvPhj85B2cqKhy7ZWVtnghlVo-NE9AOYIeRl6uZtC5j-0_0XM255ursJTVPZnE7ztf3PiZZsJ8gU5D4wvYgvLj4PPKNfAzaa2hs4uauCagD0_k0y6FwmyZ8stFQfC7_en371r91nhw/s1920/kitchen-g5e65e4c32_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9Eemf8mxp_kYqnWolNbT6eOd6PKZG5fGosvReDGzlw3cmqJvPhj85B2cqKhy7ZWVtnghlVo-NE9AOYIeRl6uZtC5j-0_0XM255ursJTVPZnE7ztf3PiZZsJ8gU5D4wvYgvLj4PPKNfAzaa2hs4uauCagD0_k0y6FwmyZ8stFQfC7_en371r91nhw/w472-h266/kitchen-g5e65e4c32_1920.jpg" width="472" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Glossy Laminates</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>One should never compromise on the quality of the laminates as it is synonymous with durability.

Biophilic Design</strong><br />Biophilia is a Greek word which literally means a love of life or living things. Biophilic design is an approach to connect building residents closer to nature by using biophilic elements like natural light, vegetation, natural view, water, breeze and similar experiences of the natural world. More and more interior designers are embracing biophilia in both commercial and home architecture. Nature-inspired colours and textures are becoming more prevalent. Bring the calming elements of nature into your spaces whether you follow the trends or not because connecting to nature has always been a rewarding experience for humans. And when I talk about nature-inspired colour palettes and textures, Royalé Touché has laminates in all those beautiful shades and textures that blur the boundaries between outdoors and indoors.<br />Apart from this use of earthy tones and natural textures will be seen too.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN5EYKm-31XnH0jllnm4ZFJguCpL3xQ2xbGGbix7svNVmA0Fj0ZuGNl00dVA98AUIn76wam0tQF_26tcWx2rncBSkfUvkvSEYSjyBCf8UAOu4tiCf6j9Niv-E0xdnAJokuLzdynU6wJlBB0Q8WBrfNNaKOVZTTVyyjpqXfccoMDjFOKqXO98syu0kp/s1920/villa-g67ffadb0a_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1078" data-original-width="1920" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN5EYKm-31XnH0jllnm4ZFJguCpL3xQ2xbGGbix7svNVmA0Fj0ZuGNl00dVA98AUIn76wam0tQF_26tcWx2rncBSkfUvkvSEYSjyBCf8UAOu4tiCf6j9Niv-E0xdnAJokuLzdynU6wJlBB0Q8WBrfNNaKOVZTTVyyjpqXfccoMDjFOKqXO98syu0kp/w510-h287/villa-g67ffadb0a_1920.jpg" width="510" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Biophilic Design</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: left;"><strong>5. Vintage Marries Modern</strong></p><p>In the 2022 interior design trends vintage is coming back in a big way but with a good balance of modern touches. Vintage pieces aren’t just home décor accents but they also have rich history and stories to tell. Mixing and matching vintage and heirloom pieces with modern home accents create a timeless interior. Vintage pieces add a personal and unique touch to your space. This again brings me to the very first trend that I discussed in this post “Sustainability”. Using vintage pieces is a way to embrace sustainable practices. Repurposing old/vintage furniture will not only be a sustainable option but also be friendly to the pockets. If finding vintage and repurposing it seems a task to you then I have an easy and effective solution. Check out Royalé Touché for vintage-looking laminates (yes, they have all kinds of laminates) that will solve the purpose and your home will still look trendy. Also, you will create a piece that can be passed on to future generations which they can proudly use as a vintage piece. It’s a win-win situation!!!</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ504rk-tDr_H5HLP_XjxEAAHneIIHFHC_gsbE9Mf034qlY_pzv-EyVEn7Ye4TSD7atlugOlooFAJM3vxQoa_xlMu_q_pnlOGJxMXfOXVL28ae8gUYxygopXOI8BGCHzM0B2UH1Feu3jz7p5H2wqBbj-0D6JOBwMzHty1CuVyND9gqkclVJ21Ru__m/s1920/interior-g9a0a68da8_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1269" data-original-width="1920" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ504rk-tDr_H5HLP_XjxEAAHneIIHFHC_gsbE9Mf034qlY_pzv-EyVEn7Ye4TSD7atlugOlooFAJM3vxQoa_xlMu_q_pnlOGJxMXfOXVL28ae8gUYxygopXOI8BGCHzM0B2UH1Feu3jz7p5H2wqBbj-0D6JOBwMzHty1CuVyND9gqkclVJ21Ru__m/w483-h280/interior-g9a0a68da8_1920.jpg" width="483" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Vintage and Modern</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>That’s all for today.

All the instructions were given on the adhesive pack. So it wasn't rocket science for us. Once the glue was ready all we needed to do was apply it either on the wall or on the back of the wallpaper using a paste brush. Spread the glue evenly and in an amount that it doesn't make the wallpaper soggy. The better option is to apply the paste to the wall.

Previously, I did it from top to bottom so tried to do it from bottom to top this time. Press the wallpaper gently and use a wallpaper brush to smoothen it. </span><span style="font-size: 15.4px;">Keep a rag handy to wipe off the adhesive that might ooze from the edge of the wallpaper. </span><span style="font-size: 15.4px;">The extra wallpaper can be cut off using the trim guide and knife that come with the kit.

Well, I did a long-pending makeover of my dining room. Almost two years ago, I gave a new look to one of my dining room walls and to be very honest the outcome was not satisfactory due to the egregious paint shade that I </span><span style="text-align: left;">had chosen over a period of time I realized that the collection of baskets and plates displayed on the wall was creating a cluttered look. Below you can see the picture of the wall I'm talking about. </span></p><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUf3Wq_Y1QZZcutzPqwAiR_Af-bzygjtwG3Op1mM8OeoZWZeSyy5Yt2LQQbS7NMP2y1w1jBt1mP8iek7IA81qxnbz2FzJOYOoMLFjjQxTYoQUO2bqDvGesB1uTFnEHkeiZY-5e2SPenlL00T6Fx82oDnLTMc4PfQyL5eD1K0s--tLGT6rWH3T-FS9BEZ0/s1570/Dining%20room%20makeover%20(3)-1-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1570" data-original-width="1249" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUf3Wq_Y1QZZcutzPqwAiR_Af-bzygjtwG3Op1mM8OeoZWZeSyy5Yt2LQQbS7NMP2y1w1jBt1mP8iek7IA81qxnbz2FzJOYOoMLFjjQxTYoQUO2bqDvGesB1uTFnEHkeiZY-5e2SPenlL00T6Fx82oDnLTMc4PfQyL5eD1K0s--tLGT6rWH3T-FS9BEZ0/s320/Dining%20room%20makeover%20(3)-1-01.jpeg" width="255" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I desperately wanted to change the look of this wall, but I had no idea what to do: my dilemma in a nutshell. Fortunately, I got to know about <b><a href="https://www.photowall.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Photowall</a></b>, a Swedish company that thinks of walls as a huge blank canvas and gives its customers the opportunity to be creative and fill that empty canvas with colours and imaginations of their own.

So without any further delay, I explored the website to see if they have any wallpaper best suited for my dining room wall.</div><div>Here is an important announcement for my dear readers.</div><div>Photowall is graciously offering an exclusive 25% discount to all my readers.

It's time to hang the wallpaper. Earlier I thought this is going to be the most difficult step but with the clear instruction given on the leaflet that came with the wallpaper, everything was extremely easy. First, I prepared the glue as per the instructions given on the adhesive pack and then applied it on the wall covering the area which was enough to hang the first wallpaper tile.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOIQsu1MUXVbJWQH7CTbNNFpe3B64RxMfrjfw8Hxj1E-TicUvsHuiz2Jel-TVL471Cw8iIulXNhPgnd2s4ErIWKlfDfBEvYANa01cItgZejNv7yr4EzLE0UYdPXx9O1JcEvpSFMc30E0/s2048/Photowall+Wallpaper+%25283%2529.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="How To Hang Wallpaper" border="0" data-original-height="1268" data-original-width="2048" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOIQsu1MUXVbJWQH7CTbNNFpe3B64RxMfrjfw8Hxj1E-TicUvsHuiz2Jel-TVL471Cw8iIulXNhPgnd2s4ErIWKlfDfBEvYANa01cItgZejNv7yr4EzLE0UYdPXx9O1JcEvpSFMc30E0/w500-h500/Photowall+Wallpaper+%25283%2529.jpg" title="PhotoWall Wallpaper" width="500" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Next, I made sure to check the level of the wall so that when I start pasting the wallpaper it goes to the right place and the work doesn't look shoddy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZT155Y3owINrp3nmzF1Ncofm2tbfmtA7GJ4ir50pjbf_aNromHGsMQgrbiGhzDfKg2GzbnMs3FufME00FyL9eYN5OEr9FTrEnXz1SJ4ZfoWFXYza1JNj6gjwL36GlYUVDROe4tjkn68M/s2048/Photowall+Wallpaper+%25284%2529.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Photowall Wallpaper" border="0" data-original-height="1268" data-original-width="2048" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZT155Y3owINrp3nmzF1Ncofm2tbfmtA7GJ4ir50pjbf_aNromHGsMQgrbiGhzDfKg2GzbnMs3FufME00FyL9eYN5OEr9FTrEnXz1SJ4ZfoWFXYza1JNj6gjwL36GlYUVDROe4tjkn68M/w500-h310/Photowall+Wallpaper+%25284%2529.jpg" title="How To Hang Wallpaper" width="500" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">On the top, you can see a tab with all the details of the wallpaper printed on it.

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">While redecorating the home for summer (or any other season for that matter) one important thing that matters a lot is color. So the first thing that I alter for the summers in my home is the color palette. I transform the look and feel of my space by using colors that have a soothing and calming effect on mind. Summer color palette is a beautiful mix of soft, cool and muted colors. Muted colors like white, grey, blush pink and mint are in trend these days and work wonder for color shy people who fear to go bold with colors like red, yellow, orange and green.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Softer shades of warm colors like red, orange and pink can easily brighten up space if used in combination with a dash of deep hues. Cool colors like blue, green and grey have a soothing effect and work best in summers and can be accentuated with some bright and warm accessories. Wall in neutral shades create a calming atmosphere and to add some flair you can always introduce tiny bits of bold colors through furnishing or accessories.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Luminous buying guide also helps you to choose a ceiling fan that fits your space. For an example according to Luminous buying guide <a href="https://www.luminousindia.com/1200-mm-new-york-manhattan-night-sky.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">New York Manhattan Night Sky fan</span></a><b> </b>(sweep size 1.2 M) will efficiently cool my son's room which is approx. 140 sq.ft Did you notice in the picture below how trendy and classy this home ceiling fan looks. Design of this fan is inspired by a lampshade which has an integrated LED light and the best thing is that the light can be dimmed with a 5 step dimming option. One more interesting fact is that there are laser etched transparencies on the dark colored canopy which actually looks like a night sky when the LED is turned on and hence the name New York Manhattan Night Sky. </span></div>

Next tip is "Say it with flowers". When I say "flowers" it doesn't always mean inclusion of fresh flowers in decor, not a bad idea though, fresh flowers are always a perfect addition to make space look cheerful and vivacious. But here I am hinting towards using floral prints in your home. Cushions, rugs, bedspread and even curtains have a scope to add the floral prints in an effortless manner. While adding floral prints in decor give attention to colours also as excess use of bold colours can spoil the look of the place and it will look overdone. Keep the tone soothing as you are decorating for summers. Pink, sky blue, lavender, lime green, grey and a dash of bold colours like fuchsia, turquoise, orange and yellow is a perfect colour palette for floral prints and can create a balanced summery look for the home.<br />

A slight modification in furnishing is also very important to transform the look and feel of the home for summers. For an instance, replace thick curtains in bold colours with sheer curtains in light and cool colours for the perfect summery feel, replace the furry rugs that can make your feet sweat a lot with colourful and beautiful cotton dhurries that are comfortable for your feet, hang up<i> khus</i> blinds to keep your home cool and you will love the fragrance of <i class="">khus</i> wafted in through the blinds.<br />

Bring in as many plants as you wish after all plants also need a respite from the scorching hot weather outside. Place them in every corner and nook of your home and make a green oasis inside. Greenery will not only enhance the beauty of your home but will also create a soothing and calming effect that is much needed in summers.<br />
I hope this blog gives you some inspiration to bring in the summer vibes in your home.<br />
Happy decorating!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;">W</span>hen nature starts unfolding its beauty know that the most beautiful time of the year- monsoon is here. The monsoon is short-lived in my part of the world so I leave no stone unturned to make the most of it. But like I said in my previous post that monsoon isn't only about all things pretty, it also brings with it something unpleasant. I talked about <a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.com/2019/05/prepping-my-outdoor-space-before-monsoon.html" target="_blank">monsoon care for home exteriors</a> in my previous post and today I'll talk about pre-monsoon care for home Interiors and some tips to style and decorate home interiors in monsoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYlk6IHNRttqz5px82_dGnZIKgPyBoi6DMpc6PfWcblBw-gamN8916WNFHwgunqxXzG5FdP7aprtkdpokalphx1gE5ZiwOT9FqlCtjJ5c-oFWrBHOj8nDbafr3_yaioYtBDPjObXq2uI/s1600/Indian+Monsoon.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Home Interiors Care In Monsoon" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYlk6IHNRttqz5px82_dGnZIKgPyBoi6DMpc6PfWcblBw-gamN8916WNFHwgunqxXzG5FdP7aprtkdpokalphx1gE5ZiwOT9FqlCtjJ5c-oFWrBHOj8nDbafr3_yaioYtBDPjObXq2uI/s400/Indian+Monsoon.jpg" title="Monsoon Home Decor" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's how I plan to protect my home against the damage caused by the monsoon. Interior of the home reflects the personality of its dwellers. So it is quite important to give attention to internal walls too. With time internal and external wall plaster starts to crack and debond. Timely attention should be given to prevent the ingress of water, peeling of paint and dampness on the internal walls. Seepage can spoil the look of home interiors entirely. I have a niche in my living room and its exterior wall is exposed to constant rains which led to the seepage in the wall. I repainted it several times to save it but to no avail. So here is a tip - do not paint mouldy surfaces as the paint will peel off. First clean and dry the surface then start painting.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNUkF9L-HNK679w5d3PEAqr-XQMx7EvRUSyX_gfk1HNOVYcvTDVjlcPJCyp5PoSMLp9OQ4R-iscIugMgBZjhI566DJF42fq26zzjjSBP6lBP67ob-UnOesqcOuCVcLns9v0zLA7BPZspU/s1600/IMG_5549-tile.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Berger Paints silk glamour" border="0" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNUkF9L-HNK679w5d3PEAqr-XQMx7EvRUSyX_gfk1HNOVYcvTDVjlcPJCyp5PoSMLp9OQ4R-iscIugMgBZjhI566DJF42fq26zzjjSBP6lBP67ob-UnOesqcOuCVcLns9v0zLA7BPZspU/s400/IMG_5549-tile.jpg" title="Wall Paints for interiors" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
No matter how costly your furniture and furnishing are, how beautifully you have arranged everything around your home, if internal walls are not in good condition and dampness, peeled paint and ugly spots of mould are visible then it definitely ruins the look of the home interiors. To get rid of seepage and dampness, I am going to get waterproofing of internal walls done. After that I plan to get the wall painting done. Specially formulated <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/products/interior-wall-coatings/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wall paints for interiors</a> are what I am opting for. <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/products/interior-wall-coatings/7/interior-emulsion/70/silk-glamor" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Silk Glamour</a> tops the list because paint fumes are my biggest concern and I got to know that this product <span style="background-color: white; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: inherit;">is free of harmful chemicals and is low in VOC (Volatile Organic Compound). </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next issue is mould. Moisture level increases in the air during monsoon which leads to dampness and mould on the wall and ceiling. Here are some tips to keep the mould at bay. Fix all the plumbing and roof leaks. Keep all the materials dry. Moisture control is the key to keep mould from growing. Kitchen sink, bathroom floor and walls are the surfaces that remain wet most of the time so make sure to clean, disinfect and dry these surfaces regularly. Keeping windows open to permit air circulation is the best way to let dry the wet surfaces. Moving furniture little away from the wall for proper air circulation will help in controlling the dampness on the wall and it will limit the growth of mould. Moulds can easily grow and spread in the soil of house plants. Adding mold preventing solutions in soil is the solution to this problem.</div>

Once these monsoon-related problems are tackled, it is easy to decorate and style our homes with accessories that are just perfect for monsoons like plants, blooms, aroma candles, quilts, colorful furnishing and spices. Here's how.<br />
Monsoon is ideal weather to snuggle up with a hot cup of tea and a warm quilt that will be your best companion in this windy weather. I always place a quilt either on the back of my swing chair or on the sofa so that I can grab it easily whenever I want it. The shades of black and grey start to overpower during monsoon so to add some cheer I place fresh blooms in vivid colours. A bunch of flowers placed on a coffee table or single stem flowers in any corner make an elegant display and perk up any space instantly. Furnishings in bright hues also help in lifting the mood in grey weather.<br />

When monsoon knocks the door nature replaces brown by green. Placing some plants indoors reminds that the season of new hopes is here. It certainly creates a soothing effect and boosts positive energy.<br />
Though the smell of wet earth after rain is just perfect to rejuvenate our senses there is certainly something bad about this season too and that is musty, damp smell that comes with the monsoon. So here I have a tip to get rid of that unpleasant smell, make your own aroma candles. Aroma candles not only create a warm ambience but also fill your home with a pleasant aroma.<br />

<br />
One more way to make a home smell divine is to use spices. S<span style="text-align: center;">pices can be used to decorate our homes too. A </span>coffee table is a place where we can show our creativity and can easily bring about the change according to the season or according to the theme. Here is how spices can be displayed in a beautiful way on the coffee table of the living room. Few cinnamon sticks and a candle can do the magic, arranging the cinnamon sticks all around the candle and securing them with beaded or plain twine will create a whimsical arrangement. When the candle will be lit it will make your space smell divine. One more way to add spice to your decor is a whole array of spices in a bowl or tray with some tea lights on a coffee table. To add some height you can use glass jar instead of bowl and tray to display all the spices.<br />

<br />
Don't shy away from putting up some seashells and conch to bring in the monsoon vibes. Place some good books on the coffee table to read and you are ready to put your feet up, curl up on the couch and pretend you are on the hills or at the beach :)<br />
Happy Decorating folks!!!<br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: 24.0pt;">W</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">e have experienced more than our fair share of summers and now are
waiting desperately for the monsoon to arrive. With the onset of monsoon,
there is so much to witness all around superabundant outdoors, petrichor, the
soothing sound of flowing water and pleasant weather. </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Having said that, it's not only
the good that is associated with the monsoon but it also brings with it
something unpleasant too. Seepage, mould, dampness, peeling paint and cracks
not only make space look ugly but also result in damage to the structure
and for that, I have to prep up my outdoor space. Due to space constraint
these days, we don't have the luxury to have a sprawling front or
back yard instead all we have is a small outdoor space in the form of
a balcony. In my view, an outdoor space if done properly can be an elegant
extension of a living room. So I am not gonna like it if such an important part
of my home is ruined by monsoon and my ignorance. So here's how I have planned
to tackle this problem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"> The first and foremost,
freedom from ignorance is the key to keep your home free from damages. We
often give more stress on aesthetics while doing up any space and not on the
durability and quality of the materials that are being used. Walls, roofs and
open to sky floors are the most affected areas during monsoon. Talking about
the walls first. Paint is the quickest and cheapest way to change the
appearance of any place especially when your budget is low. But exterior walls
are forever exposed to changing weather and can lead to damage to the home's
exterior and the interior as well. I had heard that the paint on external walls
only makes it look aesthetically appealing but can not save it from the bad
impact of rain and heat. But a little research online gave me a ray of hope and
I found the <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/products/exterior-wall-coatings/15/exterior-emulsions/34/weathercoat-long-life" target="_blank">long life paint for exterior home</a>. This weathercoat long
life paint protects the exterior walls from all the monsoon-related issues. So
I am kind of sorted and thinking of getting the paint job done before the monsoon
arrives. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here's a piece of advice from
me as I have already faced this issue of water seepage and dampness in walls
earlier too. You should plan the painting job well in advance by that I mean
before the onset of the monsoon. Keep weather condition in mind. Dry and hot
weather is the best time to get the painting job done as the paint adheres well
when the weather is dry. Spend money wisely and always opt for good quality
paint and painting tools, as this will decide how long the paint will last on house
exteriors. Most of the time I paint the walls of my home all by myself and I
know it is just too much hassle and moreover, I will be travelling in the first
week of June, so I am tight on time and budget too. That's why I have opted
for <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/express-painting/" target="_blank">Berger's Express Painting Service</a>. When I checked out their
website for colours, oh boy!!! I was spoilt for the choice. I know that walls
in bright colours help us to transform the space from dull and boring to bright
and beautiful. Right paint colour can make space look bigger and brighter, it
is also a powerful tool to set the mood and theme of any space. Bold colours
deliver the most drama and are in vogue. I kept scrolling down their web page and
was quite impressed with the range of paint colours they have. I decided to
choose the colour that complements my house architectural design.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Next comes the floor. It is as
important as the walls. It needs proper maintenance and care from time to time.
Proper floor inspection should be done after every fixed period of time and
especially before monsoon to see if there is any damage. If the floor doesn't
have a proper slope to allow water to drain off the floor then there are chances
of water clogging which in turn can be a reason for tile damage. The
solution to this problem is specially formulated tile grout which works as
water resistant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Painting walls, door, windows
and trims just don't work for me to change the look of my outdoor space I am
planning to paint the outdoor furniture too. As the fresh coat of paint will
give the furniture a new lease of life. Furniture in hues like teal, blue, red,
lime green and bright red can add pizzazz to an otherwise dull and boring
space. My outdoor space is open to sky so I have opted for the furniture that
doesn't rot in extreme weather conditions; well you have lots of choices for
outdoor furniture these days. If your outdoor space isn't in an open area then
don't worry at all about the weather and you can furnish your outdoor
space with your choice of furniture like wicker, rattan, and wrought iron or
wooden. Folding furniture is a great spacing saving idea. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Next, I plan to
accessorise my outdoor space in a way that it's not a hassle to move things
quickly when it starts to rain. I will be creating an enchanting setting by
placing some eye-catching planters with pretty ornamental plants. Maybe I will
paint the planters myself in some bright and cheerful colours that go perfectly
well with the colour palette of my outdoor space. As my balcony is a small
space going vertical will save me a lot of space. Wooden step ladder, hanging
baskets or wall mounted plant holders are the ways to add green without taking
much space. Maybe then I'll add a water body or an attractive sculpture to add
wow factor. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">I</span>n today's post on our <a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.com/p/indian-art.html" target="_blank">Indian Art form series</a>, I'm gonna talk about the art of paper cutting or better known as Sanjhi. Like the name itself suggests <a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.com/2014/02/inspiring-eminent-artist-pooja-ajmera.html" target="_blank">Sanjhi or paper cutting art</a> is an art of paper cutting. The paper is cut in a way that the paper holds together and yet it shows a beautiful intricate pattern on it. For the complete tutorial on Sanjhi, watch the video below.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Origin:</b><br />
Sanjhi is practised in Mathura and Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh in India. Though the paper cutting work is done all across the world, Sanjhi is little different. Sanjhi is said to have originated around 400-500 years ago in the 16th or 17th century. So like all the other Indian Artforms I have shared here previously, this art form is also very ancient. Some craftsmen believe that Sanjhi word is derived from <i>Saanjh</i> or <i>Shaam</i> which means dusk, the time of day when temple floors are decorated using these stencilled papers and on the other hand, some craftsmen believe that Sanjhi word is derived from <i>saaj-sajja</i> or <i>sajavat </i>which means decoration because these papers are used to decorate temple floors.<br />

<b>Theme:</b><br />
Since it is a traditional art form of Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, the theme mainly depicts the life of Lord Krishna and his <i class="">leelas</i>. Temple floors and walls are decorated using these stencilled paper and<i> rangoli</i> (powdered colors). This art form is highly refined so it is mainly done by the Brahmin priests. Nowadays only a few families to be precise only 14 or 15 families are there in Mathura and Vrindavan who practice this art. If you are interested in seeing Sanjhi in temples then Radharaman temple in Vrindavan is the place where you can see this art. It is believed that Radhe (Radha) used to decorate her walls and floors using colored papers, foils, colored stones and flowers and leaves to woo Krishna and then all the other <i>Gopis</i> followed the suit. But during the Mughal period, the art form began to depict more scenes like Mughal architecture, floral and geometric patterns and various other scenes.<br />

<br />
<b>Style:</b><br />
Like I said earlier, it is an art of paper cutting so only paper, specially designed scissors and sometimes blade is used to cut paper and then intricate mythological figures, floral and geometric patterns are cut into the paper. And here I would like to share an amazing fact that in its traditional form, craftsmen don't draw or trace the design on the paper they would just make the paper cutting directly on the paper and it is done precisely that you wouldn't be able to find any flaw.<br />
Here I would like to mention two names who are still reviving this art form and keeping it alive. They are Mr Mohan Kumar Verma and Mr Ram Soni. They are fourth generation Sanjhi artists.<br />
<br />
<b>Process:</b><br />
The process is simple. I have divided it into two steps<br />
1. Draw/trace/print the design on paper and<br />
2. Start cutting the design<br />
<br />
Below are the supplies you'll need to make paper cutting artwork.<br />
<b>Supplies: </b><br />
1. Paper<br />
For paper cutting art you will obviously need a paper. It can be a handmade paper, good quality printing paper, watercolor paper or any paper from 90 gsm to 385 gsm. But remember the thinner the paper is, the easier it is to cut but that will increase the chances of making mistakes. The thicker the paper is, the harder it is to cut but then there will be fewer chances of tearing the paper accidentally. I'm using 120 gsm A4 size scrapbooking paper.<br />

<br />
2. Cutting Mat<br />
You will need self-healing cutting mat so that your work surface is protected. Otherwise, you'll end up making the surface of your desk full of scratches. I would suggest you get the bigger mat as having a bigger cutting mat gives you enough working space and allows you free hand movement while cutting the paper. The mat given below has grid and patterns marked on both sides. This is a must-have item for a crafter or for people who love DIYs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-in.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=IN&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=dededi-21&language=en_IN&marketplace=amazon&region=IN&placement=B00TV0HP0I&asins=B00TV0HP0I&linkId=6b993e2f97115ae76da0c8049471bef3&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe><br />
<br />
3. Blade or Scalpel<br />
You will need a scalpel for cutting paper. So make sure you have some spare blades too in case you need them during the process. Keep all the spare blades safe in a case to protect yourself from accidental blade cuts.<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-in.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=IN&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=dededi-21&language=en_IN&marketplace=amazon&region=IN&placement=B0725LZ6YN&asins=B0725LZ6YN&linkId=e936591ad9fa0a96fa963ae153544c16&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe><br />
<br />
4. Pencil, ruler and eraser<br />
You will need a pencil to draw a design on the paper and ruler to cut straight lines.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">1. Draw/trace/print the design on paper</span></b><br />
Place the paper on the work surface and for design either you can draw your own design like I did. If drawing isn't your cup of tea then below is the template for you to copy. Just download and print it. There are several other websites from where you can download free paper cutting templates (Goole it). The printed side will be the wrong side so make sure you print the mirror image of the design. The design is cut on the printed side of the paper and once the other side will be the right side where no pencil marks or print will be visible. <br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">*<b>Tip:</b> Do not apply cream or moisturizer on your hands otherwise you'll end up staining your paper.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span>
I drew the fish with Pichwai lotuses especially for you all so that it is easier for you to start the paper cutting art with this easy template. All you need to do here is just cut out all the black or shaded part of the design carefully. For the outline of the fish please draw one more outline as I forgot to click that picture and while cutting that outer outline leave some tabs too (Watch the video for clear instructions) Once you are confident enough to cut complex designs, you can start cutting the fish design with intricate patterns. All the instructions are given in my YouTube video above.<br />

<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">2. Start cutting the design</span></b><br />
Now place the paper on the cutting mat and hold the knife like a pen and try to keep even pressure. Enjoy the process and relax. Don't do it in a hurry. This process requires enormous concentration, patience and skills but it relieves your stress and you will love getting lost in it for hours. There's no set way to learn paper cutting art. Keep practising and you will learn it.<br />

For cutting straight lines you can use a ruler but for curved designs it is better to move the paper around. While making cuts hold the paper with the other hand for better control. Cut the paper deeply enough that it goes through the paper but not too deep. Remove the pieces of paper as you cut them out. You can use the blade's tip to lift the chip of paper and pull it with your fingers gently. If it doesn't come out easily then use the blade to cut the paper where it is stuck and then it will come out easily.<br />

No matter how pro the artist is the blade sometimes slips and can sever the element of the design. Don't panic. Use either sticky tape to fix the element or use a chip of paper to stick on the tear. Once the design is complete, reverse the paper to reveal the right side of the design. Now either you can get the design framed as is pressed between two glasses or you can stick the design on the contrasting paper to make it more interesting.</div>

Recently, I tried to make Kokedama for the first time and I loved the fact that it doesn't require any pot to grow the plants. Just make a ball of soil and moss and grow tiny plants on it. Kokedama can be hung or kept on a desk or floor indoors as well as outdoors. <a href="https://youtu.be/AzJm-llDE4U" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">To watch the complete video on my YouTube channel, you can click here.</a></div>
</div>
Things you'll need to make Kokedama:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Compost - 1 part</li>
<li>Coco Peat - 1 part</li>
<li>Garden Soil - 1/2 part</li>
<li>Tray/bowl to mix ingredients</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
<li>Gardening Gloves</li>
<li>Sphagnum Moss </li>
<li>Ornamental Plants</li>
<li>Water</li>
<li>String/Twine/Yarn</li>
</ul>

<br />
<b>SUBSTITUTES-</b><br />
Now there is no need to worry if you don't get all the supplies. Here are the substitutes:<br />
Instead of compost + Cocopeat + Soil, you can take just Bonsai soil + Coco peat OR Garden Soil and mix sand in a small amount.<br />
Instead of Sphagnum moss, you can use moss stick or coco coir or jute or anything that holds moisture for a long.<br />
<br />

<b>PLANTS For KOKEDAMA:</b><br />
Choose the plants that love moisture as Kokedama is a ball of moss that retains moisture. Basically, all the plants that grow on moss are perfect for Kokedama. Though you can experiment with all the plants. As long as you know the light and water requirement of the plants and hang them in a suitable place and water them accordingly, you can grow just about any plant on Kokedama. The best ones are Fern, Ivy, Lucky bamboo, Spider plant, Syngonium. Succulents hate moisture so avoid using them but if you are not watering Kokedama too often then you give it a try.<br />

<br />
1. Start by soaking the moss in water. Till it soaks, mix all the components together(compost + Cocopeat + Soil) thoroughly and then slowly add water until all the components adhere together. Now take some soil in hands and form a sphere. Squeeze out excess water and once the soil ball is ready, keep it aside.<br />

2. Spread a plastic sheet on the work area and then take out wet moss from the water. Wring it to remove water and then spread the moss on the plastic sheet. Remember that green part of moss faces down as later it will appear on the outer side of the ball. I didn't get Sphagnum moss sheet so I used moss stick and took out all the moss that it had. Though the moss was all dried and the moss stick also had a lot of coco coir inside but it really doesn't matter as moss is used because it retains moisture and that's what exactly coco coir will do too.</div>
<br />
3. Now take out the plant from the pot. Loosen the soil around the root. Make sure you are not damaging root ball or disturbing root system. Now crack open the soil ball into two halves like shown in the image below and then place the roots carefully in the centre. Now make the ball of soil again and if required you can add some more soil at this stage to make a perfect sphere.<br />

4. Place this ball of soil on the moss that we prepared in the second step. Gently pick up the plastic sheet from all the sides and press firmly to wrap the moss around the soil ball. Make sure that moss adheres to the soil ball.</div>

<br />
5. Now take a twine or string and wrap it around the moss ball in a random fashion and secure the ends by tieing the knots. Now attach a string on the top of the moss ball and there you have it. Kokedama is ready to enhance the beauty of your garden.<br />

<br />
To water Kokedama all you need to do is just use a sprayer and spray water until you see water dripping from the sphere. Or alternatively, you can place Kokedama in a bowl full of water for 2-3 mins and then take it out. Water Kokedama every alternate day or according to plant's need. If it is succulent then you can skip watering for 8-10 days.<br />

<br />
So making Kokedama is not a big deal. It requires minimal skill and very few supplies. I hope you like the tutorial. Be little more creative and try to make it different shapes, sizes and colours.<br />
Happy Gardening!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I have a guest on my blog all the way from Dubai, </span><b style="color: #3d85c6;">Vineetha Ramchandran</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> born and brought up in </span>Dubai is<span style="font-family: inherit;"> a true blue Indian. She is also a Buddha lover and loves to surround herself with loads of </span>colors<span style="font-family: inherit;"> just like me and I am of opinion that "Law Of Attraction" worked and we got acquainted on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/designdecoranddisha/" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and then she gave me a sneak peek inside her home which I couldn't resist sharing with you all. Recently she took the plunge and started sharing delightful images of her abode on Instagram @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_gramophone_diaries/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Gramophone Diaries</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Though this home tour was supposed to go live ages ago but creating content for my </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/directionunlimited" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is taking a toll on my writing skills and despite sitting for hours I couldn't write. So I decided to revive my passion for writing once again and now I'll try to post at least 2-3 blogs every month.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Over to Vineetha now as she gives us a tour of her home revealing all the relevant facts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDQNWf-JGbmnu_sbHnTp0zGufVhutvDiy5WgLbQKMDuNoe_Wuhw6e4UwK24JNqYhzjSXHflR5SygzofuZkxMsibDIwp-mhE66ntt8P2XtRCKJFLkW1uH4GK9qd2OmrsGcAkCVLCbzj3Y/s1600/Modern+Indian+Living+Room.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Indian Home Tour" border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDQNWf-JGbmnu_sbHnTp0zGufVhutvDiy5WgLbQKMDuNoe_Wuhw6e4UwK24JNqYhzjSXHflR5SygzofuZkxMsibDIwp-mhE66ntt8P2XtRCKJFLkW1uH4GK9qd2OmrsGcAkCVLCbzj3Y/s640/Modern+Indian+Living+Room.jpg" title="Modern Living Room Decor" width="640" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"As you know, I live in Dubai and working in advertising for the past 10 yrs. I share my home with my wonderful husband. I was born and brought up here. Like most South Indian families, my parents also enrolled me in everything from classical dancing to music to drama to arts. I believe this education in Indian arts has really shaped my outlook towards decor elements and especially color. Probably also why I am so attracted to everything that is boldly Indian. Majority of the decor accents are from travels. There are some that are from Indian vintage stores from down south."</i></span></div>
<br />
I love how Vineetha has embraced colors with open arms and mixed them masterfully without making the place look overwhelming. Cool blue happily mingles with warm orange and together they create positive vibes and cosy ambience. Accent pieces range from vintage to modern and traditional to contemporary. One such vintage piece placed on the rug can't go unnoticed.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVa9ELDRvrKNtkTUe_51C0dDyNa8aTiIjpGZngJMYFUlg2FHOwLhiJBQXp8NleazVJ_y5ESAT0I2XI1ejAkhcaerVPunDByZrVcBJY_7SzZwHT2kGZT8nyCXiTviH3jOKK7f6kLgVaFk/s1600/Living+Room.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Indian Home Decor" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVa9ELDRvrKNtkTUe_51C0dDyNa8aTiIjpGZngJMYFUlg2FHOwLhiJBQXp8NleazVJ_y5ESAT0I2XI1ejAkhcaerVPunDByZrVcBJY_7SzZwHT2kGZT8nyCXiTviH3jOKK7f6kLgVaFk/s640/Living+Room.jpg" title="Indian Living Room Decor" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Further, Vineetha adds<i> "I respect minimalism but it is definitely not my cup of tea (as you can probably tell :D). More is more and less is bore :D Hence everything at home is what I call collected clutter."</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge9XtdbIX7UMjc4IOqmTpTiqJdme7qzK4cd4gThEzSmIoMbCrdHWyTVhfBhsQ2TdG3CmYeU1bnpHIISdEWs1DaCW_TXrPX2zs87pvvqU6sEpJ42J2JWOp_pL8CDVm_JcZUxO_NwmGtQ0k/s1600/Passage+Decor+Ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Indian Home Tour" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge9XtdbIX7UMjc4IOqmTpTiqJdme7qzK4cd4gThEzSmIoMbCrdHWyTVhfBhsQ2TdG3CmYeU1bnpHIISdEWs1DaCW_TXrPX2zs87pvvqU6sEpJ42J2JWOp_pL8CDVm_JcZUxO_NwmGtQ0k/s640/Passage+Decor+Ideas.jpg" title="Passage Decor" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"I am obsessed with colors. I have a thing for quirky and kitsch stuff and it runs across my house. I am not a huge fan of mass retail furniture homes and prefer to collect my accents when I travel. I believe every home needs to tell a story and mine is that of an eclectic enchanted abode."</i></span><br />
<br />
I can't agree more with Vineetha. When it comes to decorating a home we should showcase our personalities.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqof-RxU4n_sicRZj9z6544Q9SblAJZOF2nVT-7PfnKqq6K0NFEN2ZyOPXEET-yHVxRnWBSe0Gtlhow-K6yNYb0g4n-ic72R2cjjWkx8I68QtXK0ugHtbWaNgPsIL4LkQtPAq-k78oqs/s1600/Book+Shelf.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Indian Home Tour" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqof-RxU4n_sicRZj9z6544Q9SblAJZOF2nVT-7PfnKqq6K0NFEN2ZyOPXEET-yHVxRnWBSe0Gtlhow-K6yNYb0g4n-ic72R2cjjWkx8I68QtXK0ugHtbWaNgPsIL4LkQtPAq-k78oqs/s640/Book+Shelf.jpg" title="Book Shelf Styling" width="426" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vineetha enthusiastically says, "<i>I am supremely fond of Buddhas. I have about 7 just in my living room". </i></span><br />
And why not, when your life is too busy and contributing to yang energy then it is important to bring peace as calm yin energy will balance the active yang energy. Buddha is synonymous with tranquillity and hence placing Buddha can create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.<br />

You can easily breathe new life in your space simply by placing beautiful cushions on the couch. Vineetha knows this trick well and says, "<i style="font-family: inherit;">I really go and invest in my cushions. I check online, I look for unique pieces when I travel. Super like statement cushions or cushions with a story."</i></div>

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #f1c232;">Strings Of Marigold:</span></b><br />
Nothing beats the beauty of real marigold but buying them in abundance during festivities can burn a hole in your pocket. So here is a way to make your own marigolds provided either you have some time on your hands or you have some helping hands. Here's a video on how to make your own marigold (Audio quality in the video is not very good but instructions are clear).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HlOR-p4jNNA" width="480"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Now, what if you neither have enough time nor have any helping hand. Then the easiest way is to buy faux marigold strings that can be found in local markets and can be seen in abundance during the festivities. Though these are more expensive than real marigolds (4 feet long string can cost you anything between 70-90 bucks) but on the bright side, they are washable and reusable. So you can use them multiple times and can store them when they are not needed. I have seen some really good quality marigold strings online as well.<br />

<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Mirror Hangings:</span></b><br />
Apart from the liveliness added by flowers festivals are about adding lots of bling too. So let's create blingy hangings. You'll need thread, embroidery mirrors, marigolds and hot glue. Here's the process:<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">F</span>or grown-ups, bedroom is a place where they relax, start and end their day so it should be very relaxing, calming, comfortable and functional. But for kids, it's a space where they spend a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lot of time playing, acting, imagining, creating and of course sleeping. A kids' bedroom is a place that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reflects their rainbow personalities. Every kid has a favourite cartoon character and taking the cue from it you can choose a theme for their room. Some kids like Disney characters or superheroes, for some minions are the cutest ones, and some kids are obsessed with Star Wars, as is mine. My son loves Star Wars for obvious reasons because there are laser guns, strange monsters, spaceships, action sequences, memorable characters, and a unique plot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcmG02nqp03P5yye2p72q9HjpE5xFBFBI6MbCck63wRCaWMjouEf6yhU9Edae3o7bY1nClWNmSZH9hroNfetGA06VEHMGWQU0Xr_rkeM86TCAt_C_nWgweUUZg4Ftotgps5syukv1Xa28/s1600/Star+Wars+Bedsheet2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Spaces Bedsheets" border="0" data-original-height="560" data-original-width="560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcmG02nqp03P5yye2p72q9HjpE5xFBFBI6MbCck63wRCaWMjouEf6yhU9Edae3o7bY1nClWNmSZH9hroNfetGA06VEHMGWQU0Xr_rkeM86TCAt_C_nWgweUUZg4Ftotgps5syukv1Xa28/s640/Star+Wars+Bedsheet2.png" title="Star Wars Bedsheet For Kids" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Decorating rooms in a particular theme is always fun to do especially when the room belongs to kids.<br />
But you don't have to burn a hole in your pocket. I would suggest investing in some of the key<br />
elements like bed and bedding because the bed is the largest piece of furniture in the bedroom and<br />
bedding that covers it entirely is also very important, and then everything else can be coordinated<br />
easily. Also, bedding is a great way to accessorise any bedroom. <a href="https://www.spaces.in/bedding/for-kids.html?p=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spaces by Welspun offers a range of</a><br />
<a href="https://www.spaces.in/bedding/for-kids.html?p=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bed sheets, especially for kids based on different themes</a>. So I picked the Star Wars themed bed<br />
sheet to turn my son's lair into a galaxy far, far away.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5S_WW_bnMUksPG9rGU6g3bGAL7hG-NMkzWfIU9B2dfgm3xea6zCIxWZujn2jEIASD6fQoF6LNMbM5zYC-5qwAfuAX5HOPOzohMYTYWam7PFdg24ck3LYbTrg4ZDTgQCr7WsDev4itnt4/s1600/Star+Wars+Bedsheet.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Spaces Kids Bedding" border="0" data-original-height="560" data-original-width="560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5S_WW_bnMUksPG9rGU6g3bGAL7hG-NMkzWfIU9B2dfgm3xea6zCIxWZujn2jEIASD6fQoF6LNMbM5zYC-5qwAfuAX5HOPOzohMYTYWam7PFdg24ck3LYbTrg4ZDTgQCr7WsDev4itnt4/s640/Star+Wars+Bedsheet.png" title="Star Wars Themed Bedsheet" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Choosing right fabric for my son's bed sheet was the biggest focus as the fabric affects kids' good<br />
night's sleep. And thankfully, the Kids Bedsheets by Spaces are of100% cotton make. Synthetic fibres<br />
tend to trap heat and don't allow moisture (sweat) to wick away from our body. Whereas natural<br />
fibres like cotton are light, breathe well, and allow air to circulate which in turn cools down the body<br />
temperature. So cotton sheets are useful in both warm and cold weather, and it was the right<br />
decision I made. The Star Wars bed sheet from Spaces is comfortable and light which is perfect for<br />
kids.<br />
Next, I was concerned about the colours and patterns. I didn't want a giant head of a monster in his<br />
room. It's not my aesthetic but what about his liking. Is it possible to balance what my son wants and<br />
what's my style? Of course, I let my son select whatever he desires from SPACES kids bedding<br />
collection, and he chose this Black &amp; White with a pop of red Star Wars bed sheet. A great sigh of relief for me as the bedsheet has a very balanced and subtle look.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The bed sheet is durable, and I'm sure it'll withstand all the countless runs through the washing machine. My son's room celebrates Star Wars through and through now. His room has a theme<br />
without looking overdone, and the makeover is done within my budget. It is the perfect Star Wars<br />
themed bed sheet I had envisioned for my sleeping Jedi. Are you still looking for theme based quality<br />
bed sheets for your kids? Oh, come on look nowhere else, SPACES is the right place. Go and explore<br />
it. Happy Decorating!<br />

<span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;">I</span>ndia is truly a diverse country not only in terms of culture, religion, language<br />
and cuisine but also in terms of climatic conditions. While every season has its own beauty, character and charm, Indian summers can be overwhelming at times for obvious reasons. Though the summers are over in many cities in India some cities, on the other hand, are still experiencing sweltering days. In my part of the world, the weather is quite pleasant now but summers were definitely uncomfortable and here is what I learnt this summer.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
We can protect ourselves from scorching heat by avoiding going out in the sun during the daytime but how to combat the heat that is trapped inside our homes. In this blog, I'll be sharing some tips to keep our homes cool in summers.</div>

<br />
First, let's understand how heat enters your home. There are three ways heat transfers into your home:<br />
<b>Convection:</b> It is the flow of heat from a hot region to a cold region. In simple words, it means that heat rises. Hot air is lighter so it rises up, therefore, upper floors in a building are always hotter than the lower ones.<br />
<b>Conduction: </b>It is the transfer of<b> </b>heat energy from the hot objects to the colder. If there is a greater temperature difference between two objects then heat always gets transferred to a cold object.<br />
<b>Radiation:</b> It is energy that comes from a source and travels in the form of waves through space or a material medium. Roof and walls of our homes remain exposed to the sun throughout the day and absorb the solar radiation all the while. This results in the heat gain and increases the temperature inside our homes.<br />
<br />
Now that we know how heat enters and gets trapped in our homes, it is easier for us to find out the ways to combat the heat. Below are some easy and smart tips to keep your house cool naturally.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Cross Ventilation:</b><br />
Opening and closing the doors and windows at the right time when the air is pleasantly cool can replace the stagnant hot air with the cooler air. Keeping all the doors and windows at opposite ends open in the early mornings and at nights allows the fresh air to circulate throughout the home and helps in bringing down the temperature of your home. The key is to keep windows open when outside temperature is cooler than it is inside and keeping them closed when it's hotter outside. This way warm air trapped inside your home due to convection can be removed easily.<br />

<br />
<b>2. Use Khus Curtains:</b><br />
Another way to reduce the heat that builds up due to convection is to use khus khus curtains. It is an age-old method to keep the houses cool naturally. The dried roots of vetiver or khus weaved together with coir and straw make for a curtain with an organic look and pleasant earthy aroma. Khus khus blinds have to be kept wet to bring down the indoor temperature. Khus curtains not only add to the aesthetics of the house but also keep it light and airy.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Add Greens:</b><br />
Another effective way to block the heat is to go green. Growing garden on the roof can help in reducing the temperature of the rooms below. Mud used for growing plants acts as an insulator by absorbing the heat, water and shades of the plants create a cooling effect around them. Placing the potted plants in balcony restricts the heat to enter the home. Bringing outdoors in not only helps in lowering the temperature but also cleanses the air inside the house.<br />

<br />
<b>4. Declutter:</b><br />
A room packed with furniture feels hot as bulky furniture placed closely to each other can create hot air pockets. De-clutter and move the furniture to create some free space so that fresh air from the windows can flow and circulate easily around the room. This way you can also minimize the effect of conduction<br />
<br />
<b>5. Use The Light & Right Fabric:</b><br />
Dress up your home in a lightweight fabric like cotton and linen in soothing shades of blue, green and yellow. Avoid using dark and synthetic fabrics since dark colours absorb more heat whereas light coloured fabrics reflect the heat. Replace wool rugs with refreshing and lighter cotton rugs. Use lightweight curtains that breathe like cotton fabric and sheers that allow the light and wind to enter your home. Keep the curtains drawn during the daytime to protect the room from getting heated by direct sunlight.<br />

<br />
<b>6. Minimize The Use Of Electronic & Electric Appliances:</b><br />
We all know that electronic devices and electric appliances generate heat even when they are idle. Turn off all the appliances when not in use. Incandescent lights emit a lot of heat so it is better to use CFL or LED lights instead. Minimize the usage of all the electronic and electrical appliances so that heat generated by these machines doesn't trap inside the house.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Ban The Sun:</b><br />
This is the smartest way to keep the indoors cool in summers. I have already discussed above that radiation doesn't need any medium to transfer the heat energy. Infrared radiation from the sun is responsible for warming the Earth's surface. Limiting the amount of solar radiation to enter our homes can help in keeping the indoors cool. Is there any way to do that. Yes, of course. The <a href="http://in.saint-gobain-glass.com/sun-ban/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Sun Ban reflective glasses</span></b></a> from <a href="http://saint-gobain-glass.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Saint-Gobain</span></b></a> are specially coated glasses that reflect the solar radiation like UV and IR rays while still allowing just the right amount of natural light into a home. The coating on Sun Ban glasses prevents doors and windows from absorbing the heat and helps in keeping the house cool which in turn, cuts the electricity bill. So the best part of these hard coated glasses is that they allow the sunlight enter your home but reflect the sun-heat back out. These glasses are aesthetically appealing and come in a range of colours that makes the house look contemporary and stylish. Based on the star ratings and thickness the Sun Ban glasses can be chosen for different areas and can be used in windows, staircase glazings, doors, facades and balconies.<br />
Sun Ban solar control glasses offer several benefits like:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Protection from harmful UV rays</li>
<li>Privacy during the daytime</li>
<li>Ample natural light</li>
<li>Reduce the glare</li>
<li>Control the heat </li>
<li>Energy efficiency </li>
<li>Enhance the aesthetics </li>
</ul>
<br />
After knowing so many benefits of the Sun Ban reflective glasses, I'm planning to replace the regular glasses of all the windows in my home. After all, it will result in a huge saving.<br />
<br />
In a similar way, reflective tiles can be installed on the roof. These tiles reflect the radiation and lower the temperature of the rooms below. Another cheaper way to insulate the roof is to apply a layer of white lime wash on the terrace and balcony which acts as a reflective surface and prevents the slab from absorbing the heat. But remember this is not a permanent solution as this coat will wash away in monsoon and you will have to apply it again every summer.<br />
<br />
That's all for today dear readers. I hope you find this blog informative and the tips and ideas I shared here help you in keeping your home cool every summer. See y'all soon.<br />

Vipin Bakiwala, the architect, is deeply connected with the roots of Indian heritage. He continuously draws inspiration from the Indian culture and blends it with the modern elements to create a masterpiece. The residence ‘Suraj’ too was conceptualized with the amalgamation of traditional & modern elements. And in erecting the building, Vipin was being well supported by Architect Abhay Gupta.<br />
The client, Mr. Aseem Jain, pursues his business in Europe, and thus lives there most of the time. He believes that the residence always makes him realize that in spite of living abroad, his soul is deeply connected with Indian heritage and cultural values. The client further added that luxury is no longer confined to fine dining or designer label rather it’s about peace and comfort. The design of the residence is a thorough reflection of his own personality through a designer’s vision.<br />

The dining has customised table with an onyx marble top while the chairs are upholstered in earthy tones just like the living room sofas. An interplay of Italian flooring, stone cladding, dark colours and dim lighting exudes warmth to the muted decor. Warm yellow lighting is majorly used in the interiors and has been kept dim to match the effect of earthen shades. Wide glass windows give a good view of planters placed in the broad balconies that make a perfect setting to laze and soak in nature.<br />

To avoid monotony, the decor of the bedrooms exudes a distinct appeal. The bedroom is confined to very few accessories while it does include furniture pieces in different textures that break the monotony. The bathrooms also follow the similar tone of the bedrooms. Customised carpets used at different spaces makes a significant impact & compliment the decor theme.<br />
<br />
The grandparents’ bedroom is designed with glimpses of the contemporary feel with Statuario used on the flooring and wooden panelling done on one of the walls.<br />

The children’s room, on the other hand, is done up in orange, contrasting with the<br />
shades of grey. One of its walls has prominent geometrical cut-outs with ambient lighting that add a dramatic effect to the space. Outside the master and kids bedroom is a small sofa sitting to sit and talk or watch TV.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">I</span><span style="color: #222222;">n this </span>blog<span style="color: #222222;"> I'll be talking about design trends and let me take this opportunity to share with you all the theme of "World Interiors Day" 2018. WID theme for this year is "Design Without Borders". In my opinion, borders and boundaries are double-edged swords. On one hand, borders are important and good because they provide and define a structure and also because we get along well when there are borders between us. Just like the old saying goes, "good fences make good neighbours". But on the other hand, borders can't define us. Whether physical or symbolic, borders restrict and guide our creative thoughts and design choices. Think about the "Design without borders" and what comes first in mind is a well-designed space that r</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">eflects the world around your home. I am a firm believer of Sanskrit phrase "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" which means the whole world is one family. The concept of design without borders brings the talents and inspirations from around the world together. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now let's talk about the design trends that will rule 2018</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being a design and decor enthusiast I always keep an eye out for the latest design trends. This year we'll get to see fantastic design trends to be incorporated into our homes to freshen up our interiors. So what we can expect in 2018 in terms of design? Well, patterns will rule the design world this year. Be it timeless floral patterns or contemporary geometric patterns, we can see them in exaggerated proportion and eye-catching high contrasting colours. Neutral hues will no longer be in trend this year though you can use them in furnishings. Be prepared to embrace rich hues that are moody yet soothing for both walls and furniture. Replace the whites and stainless steel with natural elements like brass, copper, stone, concrete and granite. Plants can never go out of trend so add as much green as you can and use fancy decorative and colourful planters for your plants. Artisans will get the due attention this year. Lighting fixtures created by artisans or by small businesses will make their way into our homes in 2018. Ceilings will get the attention too. Innovative designs in false ceilings and dry walls are here to stay for long and enhance the beauty of space. </span><br />
<br />

Talking about false ceiling and dry walls, I have to mention <a href="http://www.gyproc.in/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gyproc</a>. Saint-Gobain's Gyproc is a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of gypsum-based plasterboard. It offers high-quality solutions for false ceiling, dry walls and gypsum plastering for a variety of spaces like homes, offices, hotels, hospitals and other such structures. Not to mention, Gyproc Indian takes care of the environmental impact of each product they manufacture right at the initial stage. Gypsum <a href="http://www.gyproc.in/professional-solution/false-ceilings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">false ceilings</a> and <a href="http://www.gyproc.in/professional-solution/drywall" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dry walls</a> by Gyproc are eco-friendly, energy efficient and heat resistant. Are you still thinking what else these two elements can offer in terms of design? Let me share few more details here...<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">While designing our homes and office spaces, a</span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">ll the attention is given to four walls only and ceiling remains neglected. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">While decorating your space, you can take advantage of the fact that the ceiling is the uninterrupted space spread across the room and can perk up your space easily. False ceilings can beautify your space and add to the elegance. Whereas, dry walls offer you the opportunity to create partitions inside your space in an elegant way. Dry walls are lightweight, easy to install, fire retardant, offer sound insulation and enhance the beauty of any space. They are making their way into design world at a fast pace. Since both false ceiling and dry walls are made of gypsum, they offer several benefits. </span>Dry walls are especially convenient in spaces of business and recreations such as office spaces, hospitals and hotels. Building from this trend, in commercial spaces – architects and interior designers are now exploring its inclusion in future Indian homes<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="color: black;">Heat insulating property of gypsum keeps your home cool which results in energy saving and cutting down the electricity bill. False ceilings and dry walls are the answer to all your lighting worries. With proper planning, you can get an elegant and better-lit space of your dream. Since all the electrical wires are concealed there will be no more ugly sight of wires hanging here and there that make your space look cluttered. </span></span></span></div>

Why restrict your imagination when you can do so much with the ceiling. Walls in neutral shades in a big room with plain ceiling can make it appear dull. Turn it into cheerful space by making your ceiling an 'accent wall'. With false ceiling, you can not only add curves but also coloured lights to the ceiling. This simple trick can transform the look and feel of your space. For example, adding a cheerful burst of warm white light on the ceiling can make a room look bright and warm, whereas blue light looks cool and has a calming effect. There are so many false ceiling designs you can choose for different rooms and areas of your home.<br />

Dry walls, on the other hand, provide privacy and separation. These walls are gaining popularity because they are readily available and speed up the construction process as they are easy and fast to install. Since dry walls are versatile interior walls, they are replacing conventional concrete walls in homes, offices and high rise towers. There are different types of dry walls and depending on the requirement they can be installed in different areas like rooms, shafts, bathroom etc. If you compare it with wooden and concrete wall partition then dry wall wins because it is cost effective and durable. And that’s not all… it saves time and is faster to install when you compare it to the traditional format of brick partitions. In a world where we need to be more conscientious about the scarcity of natural resources such as sand mining and water, this gypsum-based drywall solution is a great replacement of traditional materials that typically need sand as well as water.<br />
Because of faster and easier installation it reduces the overall installation cost.<br />
<br />
You can carve out space within space as per your requirement using dry walls. Like if you don't love an open kitchen or want to separate living and dining or there is a need to create a kids' room then you can create an elegant partition with dry wall and decorate it to suit your taste. Similarly foyer, walk-in closet, shelving and niches can be created using dry wall.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">I</span> have been growing plants since childhood, thanks to my mom who has always been my inspiration. I wouldn't say I've mastered the art of growing all types of plants but I've gained enough confidence and a little bit knowledge to grow them indoors as well as outdoors without killing them. And today I'm sharing what are the best indoor plants that are easy to grow and how to care for them. You can <a href="https://youtu.be/L1J_2wYPK90" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">watch the complete video on my YouTube channel (Click Here)</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The question then arises, "Why to grow indoor plants"!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me share my experience. Grow indoor plants to bring nature inside your home. Houseplants can perk up any dull space instantly by adding cheer and liveliness. One more reason to grow indoor plants is that houseplants purify the air by removing toxins like benzene, formaldehyde, toluene and xylene that are the dangerous molecules to inhale and by increasing humidity. Indoor plants create a relaxing and calming environment. The last but not the least, growing indoor plants can be a satisfying and rewarding experience. You can share your experiences in comments below. I would be happy to know!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In India, we have a variety of climatic zones from tropical to temperate and alpine. Depending on the climatic zone of your region you should select the plants and care for them accordingly. Plants that are native to that particular region grow best without putting extra efforts. But if you want to grow a variety of plants then there are certain things to keep in mind as a rule of thumb and they are; well-draining soil, right amount of sunlight (which should be bright indirect sunlight or maybe artificial light) and right amount of water and feeding your plants time to time with a good fertilizer. Below are some best indoor plants and I have added details of their light, water and food requirements. In my view, you can grow any plant as an indoor plant but then remember that you should keep it in sun everyday or every alternate day for 2-3 hrs. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Grow it in water or soil, whether it is climbing or cascading, pothos never fails to add cheer to your indoors. It comes in a range of leaf shades from green to golden and variegated. Grow it in well draining soil. Money plant is quite a hardy plant and can do well in bright as well as low light, Watering is the most important thing to keep it alive. Water it only when the 1-2" of soil appears dry. Overwatering will rot the roots and the leaves will turn yellow. Whereas if the leaves are wilting and turning brown then know that you are watering it less. Fertilize it with 20-20-20 fertilizer once in a month. Pothos cleans the air in the room. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Toxicity:</b> Pothos is toxic to humans and pets (when ingested). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Areca palm is the most common and beautiful indoor plant with feathery fronds. Keep it indoors to give a tropical feel to your living room. It loves moist soil and indirect or filtered sunlight. Bright sunlight may burn its leaves. Being a tropical plant it enjoys high humidity so water it regularly to keep the soil moist in summers and in winters allow the 1-2" of the soil surface to dry. Pot it in a fairly large pot so that it grows well and repot it after every 2-3 years. Fertilize it monthly with balanced liquid fertilizer in summers. Areca palm is an air purifier and cleans the toxin from the air. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Spider plant or chlorophytum comosum is the easiest to grow houseplant. This is an excellent plant for those who have a brown thumb and wish to start an indoor garden. Like other indoor plants, plant it in well-draining soil. Place it where it receives bright indirect sunlight. Keep the soil moist in summers and allow it to dry a bit in winters. Spider plant looks lovely in hanging baskets. It can easily be propagated by planting the spiderettes that grow from the main plant. Spider plant is also a good air purifier and can be kept in bedroom as well. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Song of India or dracaena Reflexa is the most popular, easiest to grow and very low maintenance plant. Keep the bit dried. It loves less water and diffused sunlight. It grows well in a warm climate but excess sunlight can burn the leaves. Overwatering or moist soil will cause the root rot and plant will die. So always allow the soil to dry between watering. Song of India can be propagated easily from cuttings. This houseplant also purifies the air.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Croton and coleus plants are often grown outdoors but can be grown indoors as well. They come in a range of leaf colors and shapes. Their amazing colors make them an excellent indoor plant. Like Areca Palm, Croton & Coleus are tropical plants and love humidity. So keep the soil moist constantly. Since these are tropical plants they enjoy bright light so place them near a window. Fertilize them every 2-3 weeks. Croton & Coleus can be propagated by stem cuttings. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Arrowhead, American evergreen, Elephant ear plant and butterfly plant are some common name of Syngonium. I love this plant for its fuller look and low maintenance. It is also a tropical plant and loves bright light and high humidity but do not keep it in direct sunlight as it will turn the leaves brown. Keep the soil moist in summers and in winters water only when the soil appears dry. Feed the plant 2-3 times in a month.<br />
<b>Toxicity:</b> Arrowhead is a poisonous plant<br />

Oh! what a funny name it has got, isn't it!! But contrary to its name it is the beautiful and really a very good plant. This plant is tolerant of a variety of light conditions but prefers to be in indirect sunlight. Water it less because it doesn't love overwatering also, don't water the leaves while watering. A small amount of fertilizer during summers is all that it needs. It is known to be a great bedroom plant because unlike other plants it gives off oxygen at night. It also cleans the air by removing harmful molecules of xylene, toluene, formaldehyde and benzene.<br />
Toxicity: Snake plant is toxic to humans and pets.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Shamrock plant or Oxalis comes in a variety of shade from purple to green, orange to yellow. It is an attractive plant because of its clover-shaped leaves which folds up at night and opens up during the daytime. Purple Shamrock is called oxalis triangularis which grows pink flowers and has beautiful purple leaves. I have a green variety called Oxalis Stricta which is a rampaging weed but I love its leaves and delicate flowers so I love to grow it as an indoor plant. Shamrock plant enjoys sunny spot so keep it near the window. It can be grown well in a compact pot. It goes dormant in summers. Do not over water Purple Shamrock. Always allow the soil to dry between watering. Fertilize it once in a month in growing season.<br />
<b>Toxicity:</b> Oxalis is a slightly toxic indoor plant.<br />

<br />
Aloe Vera (Ghrutkumari or Gwarpatha in Hindi) makes a wonderful houseplant. It is a succulent and stores water in its leaves so do not over water. It can go a long time without water which makes it a fuss-free plant. Make sure the pot has enough draining holes so that water doesn't accumulate inside the pot and cause the roots to rot. Aloe Vera loves bright light so ideal spot to keep it would be near a window. You don't require to feed Aloe Vera with fertilizer. It can be propagated by division. Remove the offsets or babies from the mother plant and plant them in a different pot.<br />
<b>Toxicity:</b> Though it has medicinal uses but the outer skin of it when ingested can be harmful as it is slightly toxic.<br />
<br />
Some more houseplants are Boston Fern, Dumbcane, Peacelily, Philodendron, zeezee plant, arelia, Bamboo Plant and some more succulents.

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">I </span>must say that Army wives decorate their homes in the most beautiful and unique way. I have great respect for them and always fall for their aesthetic sense. The nomadic life they lead, packing and unpacking constantly and moving from city to city can be a daunting task for us all but army wives become quite adept not only at moving house but also at transforming it into a home. Today I am showcasing one such home of an army wife.</div>
Dear readers, please welcome <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/aashimasharda/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ashima Sharda</a></span></b>, a journalist, writer and an army wife who opens the door to her eclectic bohemian home for us all. Come on in!! Here's a tete-a-tete with Ashima.<br />

It is quite evident that Ashima has a thing for various kind of paintings. Walls in white create a perfect backdrop for all the colourful paintings that have found their rightful place in Ashima's home. And mind you that all these paintings are done by the talented lady herself. Proud of you Ashima! </div>

Ashima's home appears to be reflective of world travels. Here is how she cultivated well travelled home.</div>
<i>"Every place I went to – Jodhpur, Wellington, Kashmir, Tripura, Manipur have had a big influence in my home decorating style. There is an essence of every place that I have lived or travelled to, in my home. Both my husband and nine-year-old son love our home décor, which I keep changing almost every two months because I get easily bored of one style."</i><br />

Upon asking how would she define her decorating style, Ashima readily says,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"<i>My home decorating style is a mix of eclectic bohemian and traditional. I love putting up gallery walls and filling them with pictures and my art. Also being an artist, I love painting on acrylic and mostly all the art hanging on my walls is done by me</i>."</div>

I love the <a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.in/2017/03/wall-stories-wall-of-masks-wall-of.html" target="_blank">wall of masks</a> (y'all already know that) and when Ashima showed me pictures of her mask wall, I was stunned to see her huge and appealing mask collection. Here's what she says about her mask wall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>"Also being an avid traveller, I have curios and souvenirs from all parts of the world. I am also a collector and have a huge collection of masks from all over. Be it Korea, Japan, China, Bhutan, Nepal or even Venice and Africa, one wall in my house is always dedicated to the masks that I love immensely."</i></div>

Ashima loves to collect and that's what makes her home a curated one.<br />
<i>"I get inspired daily by nature and of course the internet. Being active on Instagram has helped me</i><br />
<i>connect with like-minded individuals from across the world whose work I admire and try to encapsulate in my style as well. I pick up accessories from anywhere and everywhere. From a flea market to an upscale home store, I have been very generous when it comes to buying things. Being an impulsive buyer, many times I have also improvised on my décor items which I liked in a shop but couldn’t figure out how they would be used in the house."</i><br />
<br />
That's all my dear readers. I hope you enjoyed this lovely <a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.in/p/home-tours.html" target="_blank">home tour</a> and will be leaving some sweet notes for Ashima in the comments. Thank you Ashima so much for letting us take a peek inside your eclectic bohemian home and for inspiring us. Wish you love, luck & sunshine!!<br />

<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">I</span> happened to see the images of<br />
stunning wooden vases in unusual shapes and a home filled with<br />
extremely beautiful wooden accents shared by someone on a Facebook community.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I contacted that "someone" to see if he could show me the entire home and got to know that what I had seen was just a trailer (<i>picture to abhi baaki thi). </i>Below are the images that I had seen on FB.</div>

I received this message from him "<i><span style="background-color: #f1f0f0; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">kind of you to have liked our work. Altho' the picture above has been conceptualized and executed by us, it is not our home. A</span><span style="background-color: #f1f0f0; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">ttached are a few images of our residence. If this belongs to your 'line of work, we can have a tel con. tomorrow."</span></i> The images of his home left me speechless and spellbound. I went ahead, talked to him on phone for good 15-20 mins trying to make him understand my work as he wasn't aware of "blogging" and he then very sweetly and humbly invited me to his home in Nashik. Well, I have kept that proposal safe with me. Dear all meet <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Adwait Kher</span></b>, one of the nicest and the most humble person I have ever come across. Later I came to know that he is a proud father of Saunskruti Kher (an actress) and Saiyami Kher (lead actress of movie Mirzya).</div>

Dear readers, let me take you all to Nashik once again to take a virtual tour of <b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Adwait and Uttara Kher's</span></b> country style home that is filled with old world charm and vintage treasures. Tucked away from the hustle-bustle of the city in nature's lap amidst lush greenery and an exceptionally serene environment is this little gem. Every inch of the home reflects the sweet, warm and humble persona of the homeowners. They also own a furniture studio called Uttara & Adwait Furniture and hence most of the furniture pieces in their home are from their own collection. </div>

No matter classic or modern, a swing never fails to add that traditional element to the decor. And if it is a beautifully carved teak wood vintage swing then the pleasure of sitting on it and reminiscing the good old childhood days can be an unbeatable experience. </div>

Did the porch below reminded you of your grandparents' home. Restored windows installed on the wall aren't just a piece of art, they actually serve the purpose.

Come on in dear readers, this is the entrance to the home and you all went gaga over this image when I shared it on <a href="https://instagram.com/designdecoranddisha" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my Instagram</a>. A huge carved wooden panel above the main door (of course well secured) and the openings in walls on both the sides of foyer make it look grand and magnificent. An elegant teak wood console table with woven baskets and wooden Roman numeral knobs is ready to catch the attention the moment you step in. While the colonial style wall bracket in one corner reminds of the bygone era. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242;">Amal Rosa Augustine who lives in Bangalore with her husband and a toddler has opened the door of her two bedroom</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242;"> apartment for 3D readers to take a peek inside and her home reminds me of English empire style. Let's start with the console table in below picture that sums up the British colonial style of decorating perfectly. Hammered metal platters in dark tone are paired with a carved wooden frame in ivory that matches the accessories on the console to create a cohesive look. Touches of gold and wooden furniture with clean edges infuse some modern elements. Tradition or modern, plants never go out of trend and Rosa knows that well. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #424242;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242;">This minimalist </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242;">home is a reflection of a clean, pure and serene environment but what makes it British colonial style home is woven furniture in dark wood, light and airy colours, soft & subtle furnishings, eclectic accessories and tropical foliages. Below is the picture of Rosa's living room where dark wood furniture creates a contrast against white walls. The overall feel of this place is traditional with a splash of exotic. </span></span><br />

I love how Rosa has given an extra visual punch with colours. Here is what she shares with us <span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white;"><i>My tiny apartment in Bangalore was purchased in October 2016 and it's just a 1400 sqft flat with two bedrooms and a study. When I started to do my homework for the interior styling of my house I had some dreams about it and I think I was able to turn it into reality (at least three-fourths of it if I say precisely). I didn't follow any particular style in general and it is a mix of traditional, rustic, farmhouse style. some of it is inspired by Pinterest, interior magazines and home decor websites."</i></span></span></div>

Right opposite to this seating arrangement in the living room is the entertainment unit that you see in below picture. TV unit in dark wood, woven baskets on the wall and on TV unit, some picture frames and colonial hurricane lamp wall sconce reaffirm my statement that this home is a true colonial style home. Every room is dotted with the exotic plants that make the place tropical paradise. </div>

Balcony space has been converted into an open seating area. Huge windows allow the influx of glare-free ample natural light. This adds the visual depth to the confined sitting area. Bamboo blinds bring texture and organic feel of outdoor to the indoor and create a beautiful dappled light effect that makes the atmosphere soothing and relaxing.</span><br />

My husband is very particular about making it clutter free and also, I was concerned about my 3-year-old daughter so I kept it minimal. Other than the bed I only have a cot and a chest of drawers in my bedroom for a storage. Picture frames with family pictures on the wall above the headboard remind us of our loved ones and we all just love looking at them."</i></span><br />

It is such a soothing place with walls in white, furnishing in cheery lemon and dark toned furniture that pops against the pristine walls. I am so in love with this unusual wall decor where embroidery hoops are acting as a frame and beautiful fabric is given a place of artwork. </span></div>

Hope you liked what you saw today, a completely new theme of decorating!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">A</span> lot of you wanted me to post a video on '<a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.in/search/label/Balcony%20Garden" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Balcony Decor</span></b></a>', </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so here I'm with some pocket-friendly ideas to give your balcony a quick makeover. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this video, I'll show you how a balcony can become a cynosure of all eyes with some small changes and easy steps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
We'll take one step at a time and will decorate just one corner of the balcony today and in some other post, I'll show you how you can give a makeover to the entire balcony. Since I'm talking about Indian Balconies, all the elements I'm discussing here are quite traditional and ethnic Indian. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first step is to clear the clutter and just remove everything so that you can plan and picturise what exactly you want. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><<<a href="https://youtu.be/Urpm-dedIas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">You can click here to watch the complete video</a></b> >></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next comes the step of adding a splash of colours. And that you can do without spending much. All you need to do is paint the pots in colour of your choice or if you already have painted pots then consider painting them in a different colour this time and you'll be amazed to see the result.<br />

Now if you have a plain wall in your balcony then perk it up. You can put up wall planters, artwork, shelves, masks or just paint some art like Warli, Madhubani or anything you like. I chose to put up wall masks and I found king & queen mask at dirt cheap price. You can see the makeover of these broken terracotta masks in my video. </div>

Now let's move on to next step of arranging the pots. Pots placed next to each other or arranged in a row looks like they are standing in a queue and waiting for something to happen. I always find it boring to arrange the pots in a linear fashion. My tip here is- create levels. How? Well, just choose the pots and planters in different sizes and then club them together. Or you can place an empty pot upside down and make it a pot stand.</div>

Also, make the arrangement of pots standout by choosing the plants that have leaves of different shades and shapes. See the image below for reference. </div>

In the last, let's accessorise the balcony garden. There are so many garden accessories available these days and you can easily pick the ones of your choice that go well with the theme of your balcony garden. I placed pebbles in the pot, one with Warli painting to add a pop of colour. Terracotta figurines can never go wrong when it comes to accessorising a balcony garden. </div>

Below are the two looks I created with some small little changes in arrangement and accessories. In look one below, I used a terracotta camel as an accessory to give this corner an ethnic punch. Plants of all types like creeper, climber, herb and succulents are creating a balanced look. </div>

<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;">I</span>n our fast-paced life, all we need is a space in our homes where we can relax and unwind. Tiny or huge, our balconies can serve that purpose very well. Balcony does more than just add to the aesthetics of your home. It gives you the opportunity to maximize your living space, it can be a romantic nook, another dining spot, a place to relax, read or chill with friends. </div>
I have a guest on my blog today who not only utilized her balcony space wisely but also turned it into a small retreat. <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Preeti Deshmukh</span></b> from Nashik is with us today and she'll be telling us how she transformed her balcony into a beautiful relaxing spot and that too on a low budget.<br />

The first thing that Preeti decided was the theme of her balcony and it was "traditional Indian". Next up was a seating arrangement and Preeti had an astounding idea of putting up a swing. She adds,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">"<i>Since the theme was traditional, swing or Chaupala was a perfect addition to my balcony. So I got it custom made and added beautiful cushions to create a pleasing and comfortable sit out on the balcony."</i></span></div>

Next step was to perk up the dull looking walls and keeping the traditional Indian theme in mind, Preeti decided to do Warli painting on the walls. But executing this idea wasn't that easy for her. This is what she shared, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">"The idea of painting Warli art was quite fascinating but I wasn't confident enough to do it myself so I asked my sister-in-law who not only paints well but is a skilled calligrapher too. She liked the idea and was ready to help me."</span></i></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; white-space: pre-wrap;">She is so creative when it comes to reusing, recycling or up-cycling a stuff. Using her son's broken study desk and some pebbles, she created a beautiful piece of art that you see in below picture. Now you know you just need to look around with your keen eyes to unearth the hidden treasure that you already have in your home. </span></div>

Transformation of a dull and stark balcony space into an irresistible outdoor retreat was not an easy task for Preeti. She tells it took nearly a year to turn her balcony into a lush looking sanctuary. Now she feels proud of herself every time she gets compliments from guests.<br />

This was all about decorating a balcony space in a traditional Indian way. I hope Preeti's balcony inspired you to create your own calming retreat. Thanks Preeti for sharing the lovely images and the balcony transformation story with us. Wish you and your family love, luck & sunshine. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">I</span>t's been quite a long that I posted here on my blog and you all probably know why! Because I'm focusing more on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/directionunlimited" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my Youtube channel</a> as people prefer to watch the videos rather than reading a complete blog and I too found this medium more powerful to convey a message and it also presents quick and rich content. But that doesn't mean I'll discontinue blogging. Well, that isn't gonna happen:) and that's why here I am with a lovely post!! </div>
Today once again I bring to you the home<a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.com/2016/07/home-tour-kapila-banerjee.html" target="_blank"> tour of Kapila Banerjee</a> that you must have seen earlier on my blog and on my <a href="https://youtu.be/LpHI7Dmf_ws" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YT channel</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/LpHI7Dmf_ws" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">(In case you want to watch it on YouTube then Click Here)</a> but since a lot of you wanted to pin the images so here it is, the Part-I of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kapila.banerjee/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kapila & Sonal Banerjee</a>'s home. Happy pinning!! Also, now you can shop the home decor products that you see in this post, I have added the link below every image.<br />
Let's start from the entrance to her home which is as impressive as the rest of the home. Kapila has created a space to keep some decor accents by putting up a beautiful wall shelf. On the shelf are cute tiny pots that add dimension to an otherwise plain and dull wall. I just love how decor accessories in different geometric shapes are complimenting each other and all the colors making the entrance so full of energy.<br />

The moment you enter the home you can feel the warmth and the positivity that envelops you and you find yourself soaking in the beauty of Kapila's home. Accent wall in tangerine color sets the perfect backdrop for all the carved wooden pieces in dark tone. Wooden masks are from Kenya, Africa where Kapila has lived for four years. Antique wooden pillars are restored from an eighty-year-old home and only a keen eye like Kapila's can give such pieces their righteous place. Next to these pillars are quite an unusual pair of candlestands flanking the console. Console is adorned with brass knick-knacks to add Indianness. You should watch the video to see all the minute details on these carved wooden pieces. Ornate mirror above the console completes the setup and makes the foyer a warm and welcoming space. </div>

Step into the living room and you are greeted with this view. An angel picked from their travels and a beautiful brass hanging diya above it make an eye-pleasing display. If you notice the lamp behind Ganesha idol carefully then you will realize how unusual it is. The lamp is actually a unique find made of brass and the lampshade is brass and stained glass. I never saw such lamp before. Kapila's home is full of treasures around the world so your eyes keep wandering and admiring the beauty of every piece. For an instance, the brass chariot right next to the angel is what I really liked a lot. </div>

Keeping the accent color in mind Kapila has beautifully infused tangerine in her living room. Look at the sofa and the painting above it and you know what I am talking about. That's how an accent color helps in pulling the room together. Kapila told me that she keeps changing the cushions according to the season and ocassion. </div>

All the beautiful craved wooden furniture pieces and decor accessories are from Kenya, Africa. Teal Buddha on leaf is again a souvenir her husband picked from his travels. Intricately carved wooden piece that looks like a capsized boat is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> have shared many crafts here on 3D and all of them were related to home decor and gardening</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but today I'm sharing a <a href="http://designdecoranddisha.blogspot.in/p/diy_28.html" target="_blank">DIY</a> related to fashion and you are gonna love it. So today I have a tutorial for you on DIY tassel earrings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Be it fashion or home decor, tassels are very much in trend and add some boho vibes without fail. It's super easy to make them and once you know how to make tassel you can make lots of stuff like tassel necklace, tassel bracelet, tassel earrings and you can add tassels on throws, pillows, cushions, drapes, dupattas, dresses and even on footwears too. Watch the video below to learn how you can make three different types of tassel earrings. I have shown Hoop tassel earrings, interwoven tassel earrings and fringe tassel earrings.</div>

<li>Silk thread/embroidery thread</li>

<div>
<b>Procedure:</b> </div>
<div>
For complete tutorial watch the video above. </div>
<div>
<b>Tips:</b></div>
<div>
Here are some tips to make your work easier. You can take any thread like embroidery thread, silk thread or wool to make tassels. While wrapping thread around cardboard don't wrap it too tight or too loose just keep it uniform. While making knots try to hide them inside tassel head. After making knots leave few inches of thread (usually the length of the tassel) and then cut it. Otherwise, there are chances that knot will open later. If the threads in tassel are too wavy then either hang the tassel above steam for a few seconds or just use a hair straightener to iron it. If tassels become dirty wash them gently with a mild soap and straighten them as mentioned above. </div>

Every now and then I just love to paint them in colors of my imagination. Like I said earlier, for me decorating isn't about how much money I spend to bring in class and elegance but it's more about how beautifully and effortlessly I am able to use my creativity, use what I already have and make my home reflect my personality. </div>

This wall was in a bad shape and desperately needed my attention. Bohemian and African decor was on my mind since long so I tried to mix both the styles and totally loved the outcome.<br />

As you can see the wall makeover is doable and easy on the pocket too. All the rope baskets are handmade and bamboo basket and fan give such an authentic African flavour to the decor.<br />

Bohemian decor is all about mixing and matching the colors, patterns and textures and that's what I love to do when it comes to home decor.<br />

Bamboo lamp in below picture paired with tribal figurines is so African while string light inside the lamp and a touch of green create a perfect Bohemian look.<br />

Also, I am totally in love with this DIY bamboo pendant lamp. The idea struck when I was doing the research on African Decor. I wasn't sure whether I would be able to find the right shape of lampshades or not but luckily I found exactly what I wanted.<br />
