How to furnish your kitchen

To furnish your kitchen you need to think about what you use your kitchen for. If you've seen the Magnet kitchens advert on TV you will be aware of how they have managed to make you consider how you use your kitchen, thus installing the right accessories and quirky little extras.

So, choose a theme for your kitchen and work around that. Perhaps you like the idea of a modern, fresh kitchen, with white surfaces and black and red accents to make a striking combination. Alternatively, you could opt for a country-style kitchen, and if you have the space you could add a farmhouse style bench which would tie in well.

Remember to keep your kitchen functional. Cluttering with unnecessary extras will only make the space look smaller and be less pleasing to the eye when you first venture in. I love the kitchens that have chic home furnishings such as a stylish candelabra on the table or an overhanging stylish wooden pot rack above a wooden table centrepiece in the middle of the room.

There are many options for how to furnish your kitchen, but remember to keep it a simple and effective design.

My Guide to Chic Home Furnishings

Chic Home Furnishings - The Bedroom - Accentuate, Don't Redecorate!

Having toyed with the idea of revamping my own bedroom, it occured to me that i needn't redesign the whole room, rather just 'accentuate' and add some chic home furnishings to complement the current decor. So, i started thinking about what i could do.

Home furnishings, particularly in the bedroom, should reflect your lifestyle. If you use your bedroom for much more than just sleeping, then consider having a separate area for your workspace, where you can put your laptop and books etc. I did this by buying a wooden screen and cordoning off the area, so it didn't distract from my sleeping area.

The bed itself was looking a bit tired, so with a new silk duvet and a few co-ordinating scatter cushions, the bed now looks sumptious and inviting. Furnishing the bedroom suddenly became rather easy!

If you have the space in your bedroom, a good tip is to add a chaise longue or a comfy chair to invite the visitor to sit down and relax. If you're space conscious though, the best idea is to buy a beanbag that can be propped up in the corner when not in use. Beanbags are great for furnishing children's bedrooms too!

Think about simple things that can make all the difference to your bedroom. Chic home furnishings can include simply updating, for example, buying a new lampshade, or adding mirrors to reflect the light if you are faced with the problem of a naturally dark bedroom. The extra furnishings can revamp your room without starting from scratch.
