How to make a bathroom look bigger?

Did you think it was impossible? No, no.

Here I have some ideas to make your small bathroom look bigger.

Color: use light colors. Dark colors tend to make the space smaller in some cases.
Light: Add as much light as you can.
Tiles: use big tiles! YES! they make the space look more roomy.
Bathroom fixtures: go for hanging fixtures they let the light go under them creating a feeling of more space.

And last: consider a shower instead of a bathtub. Come on! How many times a year do you use it?

                                                     

Furniture for outdoor spaces

What material we should choose for outdoor spaces?

Wood is the best option! Wood furniture are beautiful and they give you great results, they can be a little bit expensive but, since they are very resistant to the weather conditions is money well spent. 

Iron is another good option but you have to consider that the rain is his enemy and of course snow too.
That's why they need to be paint once in two years with varnish, so they don't get damaged.

Also consider bamboo and rattan furniture, but they are better for semi covered spaces.

Something extremely cool I saw today and I wanna share

Hi all,
How funny I was talking about maximizing the space in a studio yesterday and today I came across this video. I was planning to work on something interesting today but I can help it! I have to share this, and next time I promised to bring something by me.
The video is title "A tiny apartment transform into 24 rooms".
Enjoy it!

Living in a studio

Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been posting recently but I was on vacation in California and when I say vacation I mean no schedule, no internet, no phone calls, only relaxing and resting.
Well, I was thinking, since I haven't been producing much, today I have to come with something BIG or more cool than usual. So I did a research about: How to make a studio look bigger?
I know here in the USA is not very common to live in small spaces but for my folks in Argentina it will be very helpful. This is a question I've been asking so many times and hopefully today I will be able to come with some good answers. So...

1) First of all paint the walls in neutral colors.
People always think that studios MUST be paint in white, but I don't agree, you can go with other range of colors such as beige, soft blue or light grey. They can give a touch to the space and still make it feel bigger or not too tight. Just stay away the bright colors.

2) Make good decision when you buy furniture for a studio. Wood and fabric chairs may look great with that dream dinning table but might not fit your studio. Try acrylic chairs! and why not a white table? Also, you might not be able to fit a table if you are planning to have a queen bed. A good solution to that? How about a "breakfast in bed" table?

                       Breakfast in bed table. They go at
                       the end of the bed and you can move it all
                       the way to the top and eat or read in bed.
                    

3) Storage is fundamental in a studio. When you buy a bed you might consider a divan bed or simply a bed with drawers. Being untidy is not an option anymore and you might want to keep your stuff clean and organized.

                


4) What about light? When living in a studio you usually don't have much natural light so make sure you use the natural light as much as possible. Go for light curtains that will let the light break through them.
Also when it come to light fixtures make sure you pick light colors fixtures or why not crystal fixtures? Don't worry! they don't have to be real crystal, they can be glass or acrylic, fortunately the market has plenty of options now. This kind of fixture will also help to reflex the light.

5) If you have very dark floor you can make it look lighter by adding a carpet, but remember, if you have a carpet you will need a vacuum cleaner and consecutively you will need to sacrifice some of your storage space for it.

And last for today:

6) Leave some space between the floor and your furniture, that will help the light to get through and increase that feeling of space.

           


This might not be a good                               Be adventurous! Go crazy and innovate
option                                                           Why not trying a more modern chair.  
                   

Add some life to your boring wall

Today I have another idea to make your walls more fun.
This stickers are pretty cool and the best: they don't damage your walls when you wanna remove them.
Of  course I own one! But I am still waiting to find the perfect wall for it.

As a good Argentinian my favorite design is the one with  "El Che".
