Bathrooms..... Get Inspired

If you thought that bathrooms are dull interiors with no major aesthetic potential, get ready to be INSPIRED.

The Bathroom is the least used space in the home. Most people don't bother about the design, just the functionality.You probably wonder how one can make a small washing room functional, without compromising on aesthetics.

Ankara fabric was originally manufactured by the Dutch for the Indonesian textile market, however it gained more interest in West Africa. Recognizing this opportunity,the Dutch decided to focus on the West African market. As such the prints where changed to reflect the African culture and lifestyle.

Inspiration meets STYLE

A perfect salon interior is one that reflects the brand and its values, makes great use of the space - bigger doesn't have to be better - and is perfectly lit to showcase hair color.

You may be the greatest hairdresser in the world or have the most talented team in the business, but if your salon decor isn't up to scratch you are unlikely to get the recognition you deserve.

Is your child still co-sharing your bed?

Children feel a sense of security by sleeping close to their parents. They may plead, beg, or have a tantrum in order to sleep in your bed. This habit can cause problems, not only for your child, but also for you. 

They need to learn how to calm themselves down.

Co-sleeping makes it difficult for parents to get a good night’s sleep or find alone time with their spouse.

Is your kitchen the heart of your HOME?

Ever wondered what room in the house is the most important? I guess it depends on the lifestyle of the family. I believe, the Kitchen is indeed the heart of the home, regardless of the size of the home.It is where all the meals are created whether delicious or not.( LOL) It fuels the body, heart and soul of the family and friends.

Is your House a Home?

Ever wondered why certain places feel like home right away,but others may take months or even years before they feel like HOME? Is it the location, something about the home itself or something else? 

My Passion

Welcome to my blog on Interior design and Afrocentric Collections. My love for interiors has always reflected in my home. It has been a yearly routine for me, to always change the look of my home every December. Before the end of the year, I already have a color scheme for every space in the house. Transforming my space gives me so much joy and energizes me towards the New year. May sound strange, but that is indeed what makes me high ( aside from food shopping).

How to choose a functional living room layout.

The living room is one of the most used spaces in the home and has to be functional.Most people just arrange their sitting rooms without asking themselves what exactly will the space be used for in relation to function. ie. living room only, living room and dining, living room and play area etc.

The following steps will help anyone decide on a practical decorating scheme to fit a different and specific goal.

1. Emphasis on a Focal Point -For example, if you would like to direct attention to a particular focal point in your living room (be it a bookcase, television set or a fantastic view), all furniture should be oriented towards that focal unit, with armchairs, pillows and ottomans creating an inviting conversation circle.

Make your home, your HAVEN

Growing up, my mother ensured you make your bed once you wake up and tidy the house. This routine became a habit for me. From my childhood to my adulthood, my friends in University didn't understand why I had to make my bed before leaving the room, even when I had an exam or a class.
