Classic decor never goes out of style. This style has its origins in the details and refinement of Greek and Roman architecture. Its lines are elegant, sophisticated and rich. This type of decoration stands out for its details: plaster moldings, baseboards, carvings on the furniture (usually mahogany, walnut or cherry wood), fabrics used in pillows, wallpapers, showy curtains, etc. In this post we will see more about it and you can make a beautiful Smooth Tiles Blanket.

The classic decoration requires large and tall environments, since it includes large furniture and showy and ornate decorative pieces, but it is possible to adapt it to small environments, such as apartments, for example, which are the home of many today.

In this case, it is important to be careful not to cause the impression of an even smaller environment, due to the large amount of details, patterns and dark colors of the furniture, as this will be worse.

The most used material in kitchen countertops, washbasins and bathrooms is marble, in different colors, which gives you a wide variety of choice. On the floor, solid wood of various shades. On the ceiling, plaster relief drawings, often painted in gold and bronze tones.

In the dorms, wooden beds with columns, with or without canopy, with flowing fabrics can be used. Stately, elegant and graceful armchairs and chairs. Classic bathrooms often have chairs like in social spaces, wallpaper and bronze details, such as taps, for example, which make the environment very beautiful. In the room, crystal pendant chandeliers with many details, a lot of brightness and even mirroring are common.

Decorative pieces: porcelain, worked crystals, silver, frames with elaborate ornaments, large mirrors, pendant chandeliers, floral arrangements, among others, also very beautiful. Another characteristic of this style of decoration is symmetry, with decorative objects, and even the same furniture, in the same environment. Examples: pair of vases, corner tables, armchairs, etc.

It is also common to seek symmetry with a composition of pictures, even with different frames and colors. Currently, this style of decoration is not used entirely in homes, as it would not be very functional today. What you see is a mix of more modern and contemporary elements (what can be called classic-modern style). In these situations, lighter colors like white, beige and raw are used, which are also amazing.

Wallpaper is being used more and more as a coating instead of paint. We know that this type of covering is a great resource to give “that” touch of class, elegance and an impressive look in home decor. In this post we will see more about it and you can make a beautiful Serina’s Ombre Blanket.

It is very common for people to have doubts about where to apply the wallpaper, where they can and where it is not advisable to put this type of coating, so we brought this post to help you.

The outdoor area is the champion in this doubt: will the sun or rain spoil the material? Know that, today, it is no longer necessary to worry about this, as the coatings are made with materials much more resistant than in the past, which is very good.

An example is the “out system” paper, developed by a company specialized in wallpaper from Italy, which is a very beautiful option too. Two years ago, the Italian company Wall & Decò created an innovative wallpaper.

It is made with a super resistant three-layer system: an appropriate adhesive, technical fabric and lastly a specific material to withstand any change in time and not spoil your decor. In this case, it is like that old saying “Make rain or shine”, it will be there, intact, needing only the daily care of cleaning and maintenance that are always necessary.

Attention! Vinyl wallpaper is widely used, as it washable, but it does not withstand continuous exposure to moisture and the outside area is often wet, remember this. To use wallpaper in the decoration, it is important to carefully choose the color or pattern.

Analyze which wallpaper you like best and fits the environment. Consult an architect specialized in external decorations with wallpaper and keep an eye out, to know when this “out system” product will arrive in Brazil.

The compaction of environments is increasingly common in new apartments. The bedrooms and living rooms are very small, making it difficult to decorate and install furniture. The kitchen also had a very small space. It seems that the standard of the bathroom, in these new properties, is that the space is as small as possible, considering only the existence of the essential items: washbasin, shower and toilet. In this post we will see more about it and we can make a beautiful After The Storm Baby Blanket.

It even gives that feeling that there are no decoration alternatives to circumvent the lack of space, escape the standard and leave the house with “our face” which is what we want. Although the measures are reduced, restricting the possibilities a little, you can find solutions to sophisticate and highlight the environments of your home, even if it is a small apartment.

A key tip for decorating small bathrooms is to use large mirrors, so keep that in mind. They can be with frames, from outside to outside or with a bisote (beveled edges that form a frame in the mirror itself), with or without lighting.

The most important thing is that they occupy the largest possible area, remember this. The mirrors help to enlarge the environment and remove the feeling of tightness, since they have the effect of “duplicating” everything that is reflected in them.

Precisely because it duplicates everything, it is important to be very careful with the type of coating that will be used in the environment, especially on the walls, pay attention to this detail. If you choose to use tiles with a very strong pattern, or too repetitive, for example, Portuguese tiles, it can feel labyrinth, claustrophobic, making staying in the environment uncomfortable.

The ideal is to use soft materials and clean pattern, they help a lot. The cleaner, the better. In a small bathroom, it is better not to segment the environment too much, that is, not to use several different materials and divide by sector, for example, lozenges in the box, tile with details in the vase and cabinet with two parts (washbasin and cupboard).

Creating niches is very interesting, as it helps to increase the area for storing things. Make niches next to the sink for everyday products and cosmetics, which are important items. Use a niche in the box for shampoos, soaps and moisturizers. The advantage of creating a niche in the box is that, as these spaces are very tight, you leave things “embedded” in the wall, avoiding bumping into soap dishes and external supports.

The decoration is the most delicious part in the whole process of moving house, especially when you buy a property. Decorating the house is to create the personality of our corner, making it comfortable, elegant and cozy for us and for our future visits. In this post we will see more about it and you can make a beautiful Tutti Frutti Square.

A well decorated environment is the result of a lot of attention to detail, remember this. This will make all the difference in the decoration, not only in the internal areas, but also in the external areas.

The outdoor area is the environment where we usually get together with family and friends when they come home, enjoying relaxing and fun moments.

Little care also counts and a lot, you can believe, for example, knowing what type of coating is right for each environment and what are the precautions that you should take with each one of them.

There are several types of coverings that can be used in the decoration of the external areas of your home, in different colors, textures, types of application and also with a durability that varies according to each one of them.

The most important thing is to know how you want to characterize that environment, for example, more modern and sophisticated or more fun, to choose the right coating model that will satisfy you. The most used coatings are textured mass, stones, wall stickers, tiles, tiles, panels and wallpapers.

Generally, tiles and tablets are used in the decoration of the barbecue area (kitchen), pool area (bathroom, shower and sauna) and in the laundry room, precisely because these environments are the most conducive to accumulate fat on the walls and for these two materials are easy to clean, which helps a lot.

The textured mass or mortar, on the other hand, is ideal for walls with irregularities in the mass, as it replaces the thin mass and the finished painting, in addition to protecting against water, which is great.

The textured mass still allows you to use the type of texture you want, being able to use your creativity and choose how to leave your external area with your “face”.

It can be applied to painted, concrete, wood and metal walls, using a roller or compressor. This type of coating is welcome in any environment of your home, not only outdoors, since it has a wide variety of textures and is very flexible, which is also great.

The tropical style is warm, cheerful, vibrant and very Brazilian. Using a mixture of green with strong colors (red, yellow and orange, for example), we can compose prints that resemble the fauna and flora of the tropics and the exuberance and beauty of Brazil. In this post we will see more about it and you can make a beautiful Beckett Woodland Baby Blanket.

In this style it is possible to explore shapes, textures and colors with elements from the Brazilian roots, which makes the environment cheerful, full of life and very beautiful too. Despite the strong colors, it is possible to feel cozy in the environments, using natural textures on the carpets, curtains, panels and furniture. The materials used in tropical decoration are bamboo, ratan and banana fiber.

An interesting proposal is to use pieces of tree trunk in furniture, for example, on the bases of coffee tables, covered with a glass top to give an incredible touch. Natural fiber armchairs and patterned upholstery also fit well. Natural fibers can be used in decorative objects, such as lighting fixtures, whether pendant, ceiling or floor.

The ideal is to decorate just one room of the house in this style, with great patterned pillows, furniture, rugs and lamps made of natural materials to help.

The prints can be of leaves, flowers and fruits, but care must be taken not to abuse and end up leaving the environment too loaded, after all a lot of heavy pattern repetition makes the space polluted which ends up destroying all the decoration you were trying to make .

A suggestion is to keep the walls in white or in very light tones or pastels to be able to “abuse” the colors of the accessories, such as pillows, vases and paintings to decorate the environment. If so many colorful details are not used in the decoration, it is possible to bring the strong tones to the walls and work with more neutral accessories.

In lighting, the more natural light the better, because if the idea is to send it to a tropical place, nothing better than a lot of sun and ventilation with the sound of foliage around. In this style, a cheerful atmosphere prevails, with a “holiday face”.
