Printed wallpaper, DIY, Tips
Tie a small object like a key to your wire and hang it on the wall with a little tape to get a straight line.
Take a ruler and the pen and draw a straight line along the wire. Spray the back of the printed wallpaper with some water. Then you can finally place it on the wall paying close attention.
Always start from the top and gently attach the paper to the wall with the brush. This will prevent the formation of bubbles. Don’t worry too much because with this lawn paper you can change and reposition the support as many times as you want. Cut the excess printed wallpaper with the cutter and it is done: your walls will have a new look!

Simple, fast and beautiful!

7 tips to furnish the corridor

Make the most of the entrance area! Dalani gives you 7 precious tips to furnish the corridor and transform this space into a comfortable and welcoming place. Not just a place of passage, but a living environment.

Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice 7 tips to furnish the corridor
7, the perfect number to guarantee the best advice in order to furnish the corridor, transforming it into an environment endowed with its own personality, to be experienced like the other rooms of the house. Here is the list of Dalani to customize based on your style:

Add color
A colonial touch
Library for corridor
Create a personal office
Play with the illusion of depth
Make the corridor smaller
Light up the corridor
Greedy ideas like candy, all to be discarded.

1) Furnish the corridor – Add color
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice If you have a long corridor and find it a bit boring, brighten it up with bright colors. An orange, combined with an ad hoc lighting, can make an environment usually destined for the passage one of the most pleasant areas to live. If you don’t feel like using strong colors, you can choose colored carpets of different shapes and sizes. Paintings, photos and prints bring further liveliness to the hallway: a home art gallery to furnish the corridor. A true little masterpiece.

2) How to furnish the corridor – A colonial touch
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice If your corridor is very large you can create a mini living room inside it. Wood and leather are a must, as are southwestern rugs and mirrors. For the carpet, don’t forget that the “zebra” pattern is very trendy this year.

3) Create spaces with a corridor bookcase
The walls of the house do not only serve to hang paintings. Along the corridor wall you can install a library with sections dedicated to CDs and DVDs. A cultural walk between one room and another.

4) Furnishing the corridor – How to create a personal office
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice Do you need a space in which to work but don’t have a free room? Try to take advantage of the corridor! If it is large enough you could place a small desk and a chair on it, thus creating a small office. Turn it into an even more comfortable place with the addition of a beautiful table lamp. Furnishing the corridor will thus become a true exercise in ingenuity.

5) Entrance furniture – Create an illusion of depth
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice Your entrance is short and narrow but do you want it to appear long and wide? Just hang a mirror and play with the optical illusion that can spread a greater sense of spatial depth. Even the light is able to change the perception of the dimensions of a room.

6) Reduce the corridor
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice Furnishing the corridor is often a question of necessity. Is your entrance area very wide and you would like to make it appear narrower to avoid a little lived aesthetic drift? From a single large room you can get two different ones using curtains and filling the space with furniture: a sideboard surrounded by two stools can be the ideal solution. The easiest? Playing with carpets with important patterns, but not in obvious contrast to each other, to avoid the feeling of “noise” in the chosen style.

7) Illuminate the corridor – Entrance lights and light colors
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice If you think that your passage is too dark, light it by painting the walls white and adding different points of light. If you have the opportunity, install a glass wall with sliding doors, a solution that guarantees a greater supply of natural light to the room. Furnishing the corridor in the most strategic way can change your living space with the lightness of a light beam.

Southwestern Rugs

I have always dreamed and Pinterested about a cozy Southwestern bedroom and cheery kitchen. It was important to me that my home decor be unique and a good mix of my partner’s and my personality. Mine being more western and his being more nerdy, very nerdy. So I set out to mix the two.

 

Southwestern Interior Design

I also wanted to use Southwestern home decor that was recycled or environment friendly. I quickly figured out that furnishing and decorating was a big job. We started with wall color. Tints, undertones and sheens, oh my. I wanted my home to be as calming as possible, earth and neutral tones were my go-to. We chose sage green, cool gray and a blush beige. From there I was on the lookout for inspiration. I love industrial decor, but also shabby chic decor. Did I dare to mix them with Southwestern interior design? Of course!

 

I believe your home decor should reflect who you are and what you enjoy. Whatever I ended up doing, I knew I would have to do it on a budget. I sought out thrift stores, garage sales and even curbside furniture. I searched the web for easy DIY’s, free printable posters and pictures, and decor inspiration. For the Southwestern aspect, I leaned toward white wash wooden frames and black and white script quotes with natural wood accents. The more industrial decor included a bike spokes wheel with clothes pinned photos, antique tin ceiling tile I picked up at a local resale store, and a few maps of our city, Toledo.

 

I completed the look with a couple of letter boards with my partner’s favorite movie quotes and voila, a mismatched paradise.The decor really expresses who we are and what we love and I think that was the most important. After all, we will be the ones surrounded by it on the daily. It will also be fun to show our friends and families how we represented our interests in our home.

 

Something we both agreed on was the importance of Southwestern area rugs. Both of our childhood homes had carpet and our current home is all hardwood and tile. We miss our warm cozy carpet so we thought we’d try to recreate it. We bought a large area rug for our living room and a few runners for the hallways and it made a WORLD of a difference. After that we added some curtains and bam, we had a soft and comfy living room for homework and movies. I realized the change that rugs and linen such as curtains, throw blankets, and pillows can make. It helped our living room look much more homey and welcoming.
