We love when a space embraces a combination of character and modern elements. It becomes more complex and unique to each person’s taste and style. In the past year, there were a few living room trends that really stood out to us! In this article we’ll share two different styles that we love.

Country house inspired living room:

We love everything country house related, it’s always a very cozy space with warm and inviting details. There are a few essentials in order to get this look right, starting with the walls and flooring. The walls are generally simple and warm tones, such as yellows, creme’s, white tones and such. That ensures keeping a simple base to work with. For the flooring there are a lot of options. We prefer hardwood planks, since they are generally wider and make a strong statement. As for the shade of the floors that’s entirely up to you and the colour scheme you are going with.

We believe in healthy environments that bring great inspiration, so we have a few tricks up our sleeves that make any office space worth spending hours in. Before we dive into it, we want to talk about our top essential must-have in an office, and that is natural light. Whether you have a home office, rent or own an office…Try to find an area with a window or windows. When working most of the day, it can get a little difficult to get out and enjoy the sunshine or fresh air.

There are so many trends and styles of kitchen we enjoy and here are a few trends we are loving at the moment.

Two tone kitchens

We’ve all seen kitchen cabinets where the lower cabinets were a different colour than the upper ones. We really enjoy this trend because it allows to add more colour to the kitchen plus it creates the illusion of higher ceilings if done properly. Our favourite combination is the upper cabinets to be a lighter colour, in order to create a smooth transition between the two cabinets we also like the countertop to be a lighter colour.

That will connect the upper and lower cabinet in a very effortless way. To add more depth to the kitchen, have fun by adding colour to the lower cabinets. We love blue tones, especially navy or dusty blues. For a more colourful and bold kitchen, yellow tones are stunning, especially when having lots of sunlight come through. Because of the yellow, the sunshine has more impact. The best part is, you can always paint the lower cabinets a different colour when needing a change. It’s an easier option than having to paint the whole kitchen.

Sometimes we spend time decorating and organizing a space just to realize it has been turned upside down by our kids. We love our kids, very much. But at that very moment, it can be a little frustrating. What we realized and accepted with time is that our house will have a certain character, if you will, from our kids touch. We call it organized chaos and we learned to love it. Because we have a little piece of the house that is completely ours, that is organized the way we prefer and decorated with our own personal chaos. Yes we are talking about the master bedroom.

For us, the master bedroom used to be a space that was neglected without much character. So we came to the conclusion that we should slowly add our own touches and embrace our personal space. Here are a couple ideas we had for our bedroom, we love the combination of a farmhouse design with a modern twist. A clean breathable design with unique furniture pieces that make a statement. Here are some essential we couldn’t pass up!

There are a few different ways to create more space in your kitchen. One of our favourite ones is a kitchen nook! Kitchen nooks are extremely cozy, stylish and very practical. We all have a little corner in our home that is surrounded by windows and natural light, and we don’t really know what to do with. It could be in the kitchen, sunroom or even living room. Now that would be the perfect location to have a little nook. There are many different sizes of nooks you can play with, depending on the space size you are working around.

Size and location aside, all nooks have a couple things in common. Because nooks generally fit around a corner, a bench is ideal to fill it that space. Then there’s usually a smaller to medium sized table, it would be round, oval or square… Even rectangular if you are putting together a larger nook. Then we have a couple chairs on the other side of the bench to complete the nook.

Here’s why this is the ideal set up! We like to place the chairs on the opposite side of the bench where there isn’t a wall behind them to create the illusion of more space. Due to chairs already having a backrest, there is no need for a wall right behind them. The bench on the other hand needs the support of the wall and acts like a back support. Also, if you are a fan of additional storage, you could always go with a bench that has built-in storage. It could become your secret place where you could hide all birthday gifts or Christmas gifts away from your curious family members.

Now that we’ve got the sitting arrangement done, let’s tackle the table. The table is an essential part of the kitchen nook. Our ideal choice would be a table that provides room all around. We love table that are built with table legs right in the middle to create a breathable and roomy design. Here are a few tables that would fit your kitchen nook perfectly, keep in mind you can customize any of our tables with the stain you prefer!

Mix and match wood shades

First of, when we think of farm house’s, we think of wood! Wood is an essential part of this decor. We like to mix and match different shades of wood to create contrast and continuity in our homes. For example, from the dining room to the living room, we like to connect the two rooms in a subtle way.
