I don’t know who they hire to design the bedside setting, but it’s always stylish and memorable. My own bedside table, used to not even be a table in fact, but a plastic stool where I would place my smartphone before going to bed so that it can sound the alarm in the morning. After I actually decided to make an upgrade to a genuine night stand, my bedroom was instantly beautified. And usually, there’s not a lot of furniture in a bedroom, which is good for your sleep according to [&hellip

Ah, home sweet home. No matter how much of a wanderlust mood we’re in, resorting to escapism and seeing new sights, there’s always that one place we long to go back to. As much as the reason for the need to embark on journeys lies in having busy lifestyles that are mainly sedentary, it also has to do with needing a change of scenery other than seeing that same old same old at home.

There are all kinds of styles when it comes to blinds, as much as there are homes, so all [&hellip

As the home is our protection from the outside world, we expect to be protected from the prying eyes of neighbours as much as from the weather conditions and we can’t do this without giving our windows the treatment they deserve. The design of blinds has undergone many alterations since their first appearance, and it is fascinating to think ancient people were the ones who actually invented them and spread their use. Ancient Egyptians and ancient Chinese alike used them, the differences were that Egyptians used reeds, whereas the Chinese used bamboo and they later on spread them to Europe through the Mediterranean which brought to their evolution into Venetian blinds. The reason blinds are useful, apart from serving for keeping the home privacy, is [&hellip
