Wall Decor

Floating shelves can take many aspects. Some shelves are simple others are downright ingenious. Some are one little shelf against a wall to display an art piece, a bowl, a couple of candles, others are more elaborate and might present the appearance of several cubes related to each other, another one could yet be a few small shelves stacked over each other.

Floating shelves can be placed in any room where there is a need. One might be the holder of a few cookbooks in the kitchen, while another could hold some glass jars in the bathroom. Living rooms and even dining rooms can show the need for such a light weight, and efficient shelf. The majority of people reading this article do not need any explication for what a floating shelf looks like as we have all seen them. They come in any color one might imagine, sizes, materials and finishes are many and you can literally find anything you want. Remember that a floating shelf does not have to be a one piece on a wall, but  can be a combination of pieces, and it can go in a corner. There many corner wall shelves to choose from.

I will, then, concentrate on giving you ideas for floating shelves that are unique and original. [click to continue…]

Paint was easier to use, easier to change and less expensive in many cases. But wallpaper was not yet done in, like the phoenix rising from the flames it came back into the world renewed with vigor, designs, and exciting new propositions. Large bold motifs like the one offered by Streetwall are making people look at wallpaper in a new light. [click to continue…]
