white noise


    Create a sanctuary only for you. 




   I generally prefer warm whites to cool and I achieve this feel by integrating a variety of fabrics, textures and finishes.



Also, introducing natural elements into the space is a design MUST for softening the edge and bringing life into the neutral space. Examples; stone planters, driftwood accents, plants, a hand carved side table - all of the above will transform the room into something special. 



ori just simply turn your old suitcase (ti which you are still attaced to... god knows why?) into a cozy chair like this...




why won't facing a beautiful view while working? most times the inspiration comes from nature.



and why not making meetings more fun with this awesome Swing Table designed by Christopher Duffy?
