5 Frugal Ways to Expand Your Living Space

May 16, 2018 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

Everyone wants to avoid the plight of outgrowing and resenting the living space. This could happen due to family growing or lifestyle changing. Either way, there is no need to panic and sell right away. Expanding your home ensures it still accommodates your wants and needs. The only problem is that additions usually cost an arm and a leg. Luckily, there is another way, around major expenditures like building the roof and foundations. Then again, to maximize your living space that way, you need to play it smart and be creative. So, get ready to think flexibly and out of the box.

Expanding outdoors

In case you have a yard with empty space, expanding in that direction is a no-brainer. You have a chance to establish a strong connection with the outdoor area without blowing the budget. One of the simplest and most affordable ways to pull it is to create an outdoor room. There are various options when it comes to designing it. You could, for instance, opt for a premade gazebo, which comes in various styles, colors, and sizes. Note also that anything you can find inside has a weather-resistant counterpart: rugs, furniture, drapes, lighting, canopies décor, you name it. [Read more…]

May 1, 2018 by MyStyleSpot 1 Comment

If you’re looking to build up value in your home, you should be focused on improving the kitchen and the bathrooms. Changes here can add as much as 20 percent onto the asking value of your property when you put it on the market. But, if you are looking for an area of your home to improve that will add the greatest benefit to you, it’s best to think about the living area.

So, how can you deal with the costs if you don’t actually have that much money to play with for your redesign. [Read more…]

How to Combine Area Rugs with the Top 5 Design Trends of 2018

April 21, 2018 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

The design trends of 2018 have already settled in our homes, bringing new and exciting looks under the spotlight. From repurposed materials to hot new color trends, design ideas for 2018 are diverse, inspiring and plentiful. However, not only do these trends bring enticing, stylish looks, but they also offer numerous creative ways to implement them. Of course, area rugs, the forever-popular design accessory, are one of the enchanting ways to implement the trends of 2018 in your own home. Thus, you should take a look at these top design trends and area rug ideas that reflect them.

1. It’s all about colour

Although neutral hues do have a special place on the design scene, bold colours will truly shine in 2018. From saturated hues to jewel tones, colour will liven up homes around the world. Whether you’re a fan of the bright and simple or the bold and dramatic, don’t hesitate to add a pop of colour to your home. And there’s simply no better way to do it than by adding a stylish, colourful area rug that will break the monochromatic monotony and work as a stunning focal point. The best thing about colour and rugs is that you can find them in countless combinations and numerous styles, including traditional and antique, modern and contemporary, rustic and bohemian, etc.
Colour will find its way into your kitchen, too, where you can introduce it through a stunning area rug. A galley-style kitchen, for example, can gain a completely new dimension if you embellish it with a vibrant, antique runner rug.

2. Recycled and repurposed are always in style

Stop putting off that big cleaning project and get organized in three easy steps:

1. Start With A Kit

Each of our wire shelving kits can be set at a custom height, allowing you to easily store bulky objects. Made with the same durable construction as our standard chrome wire shelves, these shelves can support nearly anything you have around the house that needs organization. Tidy up that basement or garage and keep your house cleaner and your stuff safer.

Shop 18″d x 24″w Wire Shelving with 4 Shelves

2. Add Casters

Mobile shelving units are useful in the basement and garage to pack things in tight while keeping access to everything. Create a mobile shelving unit easily with our rubber casters. These wheels are ideal for units rolling over different surfaces, and come with brakes to lock the shelves in place when needed.

Shop Rubber Threaded Casters – 4pk

3. Finish With Shelf Liners

Shelf liners provide a stable surface so that books, DVDs, and small figurines can stand up on wire shelving. They also allow wire to be used as a work surface and give the shelving an attractive modern look. Our shelf liners are recyclable and made in the USA!

Let’s Play Dress Up: How to Make Wire Shelves Look Even Better

Whether you’re redecorating a room, repainting walls, or moving everything around, we know how it feels to suddenly have something in your room that just doesn’t quite match.

And as helpful as wire shelving can be, sometimes it just doesn’t match the look you’re going for—similar to how the TV stand your mother gave you when you moved just isn’t quite working in the living room anymore.

But wait! Before you decide to relegate your wire shelves down to the basement and go through the cost and trouble of replacing them, there’s actually a lot you can do to make them match your current decorative mood without breaking the bank or leaving you stuck with a more-decorative but less-helpful shelving solution. Before you go moving those wire shelves around, try these steps first.

Innovative and Stylish Tips to Dress Up Your Windows

April 15, 2018 by MyStyleSpot 4 Comments

Windows have many meanings in our lives. They bring the light into your home, offer you comfort during the rainy days and make you feel hidden from the world when you want to. Although windows are usually perceived as functional parts of the design, modern times brought new trends for these home features.

“It all begins with the client’s intended use of the room,” says designer Ann Lowengart. “That helps to determine how much privacy they’re looking for, the amount of natural light they want, or if the treatments will be simply for decorative use.”

Aesthetic is also a very important part of window decoration and style. You have to fit it all in the overall décor without hindering the other elements in your interior design. In addition, these innovative and stylish tips will help you do it flawlessly.

A classic that never goes out of style

Curtains are the most common decorative items we use for the windows. Although, after all this time, one would expect that this trend left the interior design scene, it actually evolved. Now, there are so many types of curtains that every home can have one and still look great. [Read more…]
