We all have our own unique taste and style that we should embrace, therefore creating a space that feels like yours is important! In this article we’ll be covering a few ideas on how to add character to your living room with a few of our beautiful wood furniture pieces!

Before we get into the nitty gritty, let’s first talk about your canvas! Maybe your living room needs a little more character, it’s missing some elements to really make it feel like home. Let’s turn that room into a canvas, a blank space with beautiful coloured walls and a well lit area. Once you are happy with it, it’s time to add more colours and shapes, get as creative or as subtle as you’d like to enjoy your space to it’s fullest!

Our three favourite colour schemes:

Tranquility: A space where neutrals thrive, shades of blues, creams and yellows emerge.

Elegance: Whites and creams shine in an elegant and sophisticated space.

Rustic: A rustic-chic inspired home embraces burgundy and wood accents.

Now the fun part, furniture shopping! We believe adding character to a space can easily be done. You only need a few pieces that suit your living space, you can always change the decor around depending on seasons and holidays. Here are a few unique combinations that we enjoy:

We all lack of sleep once in awhile, but sometimes the cycle never ends. One of the best tips I’ve received to achieve a good night of sleep is to sleep in a dark space, that means zero lights!! It’s so healthy to turn off all lights, that includes turning off and disconnecting your devices before bedtime. It’s so important to unwind, reading a book or taking a bath helps to relax the mind and body. I personally love playing classical music while reading a book. You must be looking forward to be reunited with your bed after a long day, so having a comfortable bed is essential! Below are some of our favourites to create a cozy modern bedroom!

Get more done with organizing your office space

A couple weeks ago we share ideas about improving your productivity and creativity. We talked about different elements you can improve in your office to help you focus in an oasis type office.

In this article we’ll share some tips and ideas about how to keep your professional space organized. We all know organization takes time, but once your space is well systemized, your daily tasks become less overwhelming. At the end of the day, you’ll be shocked at how much you can get done with a little organization. Follow these simple tips and see how much of a difference they make.

Keep it simple

First step is to simplify your day, we all do the mistake of adding useless tasks to our schedule when it’s really not a priority. I love to create a daily to-do list, the list includes my 5 most important tasks of the day, then below I add my not so important tasks. Making sure you tackle your most important work will help you stay focus and keep your work prioritized. Once that’s done, I can look at the tasks that weren’t a priority and get those done too, if I have time. Keeping it simple is efficient and helps me and many others staying focused without stress.

Declutter your space

I don’t know about you, but a cluttered and messy desk drives me mad! I’m not talking about some papers and pens here and there. I’m talking about stuff that accumulates over a couple weeks and never get organized, that is a recipe for stress and anxiety. I believe we should all create a stress-free zone in any space we live in, especially spaces where there’s more stress like an office. Eliminating the clutter and keeping your desk clean will help you have more room to think and stay calm.

We love this desk because of it’s simplicity and rustic charm, we have many more styles of desk for every taste. Click here to see more office desk styles.

Kids room DIY chalkboard wall + kids furniture

Space and storage are ideal when putting together a room for little ones! Kids love to run around and need space to do so. We love creating different areas in the room where they can do different activities such as a table for drawing and doing puzzles. Another area where they can play around with their toys and have storage to put them back. And of course an area where they can rest, take naps and sleep comfortably!

Kids don’t have the biggest room of the house, so how do we create all of these so called “spaces” if there’s lack of it?! One of our favourite “DIY” for kids or even for the kitchen, is a chalkboard wall!! Not only is it extremely fun, but kids can do multiple activities and learn on the chalkboard in a very playful way!

DIY Chalkboard Wall – 4 simple steps

1 – Figure out which wall of the kids room you want to transform into a chalkboard, it could be a section of the wall or the whole wall! It really comes down to personal preferences.

2 – Once you have that figured out, place a cloth near the wall that’s being painted and start sanding the wall. If you are painting around windows or anything else that needs to be covered, make sure to protect those areas with some painter’s tape.

3 – Pour in the latex chalkboard in a small container, use a paintbrush and start painting two coats around the ceiling corners, wall edges and window trim.

4 – After that step is done, it’s time to apply the first coat of paint by using the roller paint brush. Let it dry for 2 hours and you can apply a second coat by painting the wall with a light touch. Allow the wall to dry until the next morning before writing on it!
