Pick out multi-functional furniture.
When you have limited floor area, you need to get creative in using your furniture pieces in more ways than one. Double-purpose furniture, such as coffee tables with basket holders on its shelf, or ottomans with hidden storage, can add more hiding places for your things and serve as seating areas for you and your guests. Whether classic or industrial, match the furniture and the lighting scheme for a more cohesive look. Complementing design styles is a great way to personalise your living space and to bring out your personality more.
Layer your lighting.
Lighting is what turns your home into a place for doing the things that you love – whether it’s reading a book, preparing a sumptuous meal or just simply lounging on the sofa. It often sets the mood for your home, letting you fine-tune the atmosphere in several different ways. You can find stunning table lamps online in Australia and place them in different areas to diffuse the light and highlight remarkable pieces around your living space.

How Buying Table Lamps Online in Australia Can Improve Your Home Space
Given the shift in space usage in this context, it follows that the space must also make some adjustments in order to make it more fitting for the new function it carries. Ronique Gibson of The Furnished Up Blog offers recommendations on how people can better address their home office needs, such as with adequate lighting from table lamps:
Home offices have different functions. Most are used by family members for tasks like doing homework or surfing the web. When buying a table lamp, assess the tasks most likely to be carried out in the room so as to choose the lighting that will work best. For instance, task lighting is suitable for reading and carrying out activities while ambient lighting is good for establishing mood and illuminating a broad area. You can also choose accent table lamps to bring attention to specific features of the room or decorative lamps to add flair and create focal points.

Simon's Story: Uttermost Dog
Some people call me Big Simon, but don't let that intimidate you. God just made me big (a slim 104 pounds, thank you). If I have a slight weight issue, it's just a winter thing. Too much couch time.
Back to my story, when I was 6 weeks old, someone dropped me and my brothers and sisters off in the woods with no food or shelter during the winter. A nice man found us, and we've been with our family, including Tucker, ever since.
My favorite activity is fishing. My mom calls me a Norwegian water dog (a stretch at best), but I do look the part. I fish off our dock every chance I get. Haven't caught one yet, or even come close, but I love to spend hours at a time watching, waiting, and then diving in the lake after every fish I see. Guess I just enjoy the splash!
Ok, now it's time to stop reading, and just admire a few photos of me. My treat!

Tucker's Story: Uttermost Dog
Hi, I'm Tucker. Yes, this really is my home, and one of my favorite chairs. Being a star isn't easy. First this photo shoot... I was exhausted, but did get my share of biscuits! Now everyone wants my paw print.
Life is good, just hectic. We live on a Virginia farm with cats, horses, and of course, lots of dogs. I love the beautiful outdoors on a pretty day, but not as much as my warm bed at night.
Most of my brothers and sisters were rescued like me. I don't know much about my early years, other than where I ended up. When I was about 10 months old, my sister and I were dropped off at a county animal shelter. All I remember is being very afraid of people, and very lonely. I was rescued from the shelter just before my time was up. Whew!

My Mama says I'm a boxer/pitbull mix, and about 2 years old now.
Enough about me. I do have one favor I'd like to ask... the next time you see a dog or cat in need of a family, please help them out.

Tilly's Story : Uttermost Dog
I may not be the biggest dog in the house, or even close, but I still
command plenty of respect. I'm a beagle after all and proud of it.
I joined the Cooper family a couple years ago. I don't remember my early days, but for several months before I found my forever home, I was literally on my own fighting to survive on the side of the road. A fear of people kept me running from the people trying to help me (the local postman, the Cooper family, etc).
Well, they caught me (or I let them catch me), and I've been living in style ever since....Uttermost style! The only running I do now is to chase my brothers and sisters, or for the treat jar any time it's opened. And now a treat for you....more pictures of me.

Radiant Orchid: Interior Design Tips For Pantone's Color of the Year 2014

Get
ready to jump on the biggest trends for 2014! For homeowners who are
planning to re-decorate their homes, this is especially important. You
want your home to have a fresh and modern feel, as opposed to a dated
vibe. One of the best ways to ensure that your home will be designed
with style and flair is to incorporate the "color of the year" as named
by the Pantone Color Institute.For 2014, Pantone has announced that Radiant Orchid is "the" color to fall in love with and incorporate into your home and day-to-day life. While certainly a stunning hue, the purple tones that make up Radiant Orchid can seem a bit overwhelming to the untrained interior designer. You don't want to overwhelm your space with the color, but still want to use it to make a beautiful statement.
In order to help you bring this vibrant shade into your house, here's a look at the color's potential, and a few simple Radiant Orchid interior design tips.
Pantone's Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid
As the global color authority and provider of professional color standards within the design sector, Pantone works to promote colorful expression in both interior decor and everyday lifestyles. After carefully charting future color direction and studying the ways in which color can play a significant role in influencing our thought processes, emotions and reactions, Pantone is most assuredly an expert on predicting positive trends, and pushing for the evolution of design.
Year 2014, Pantone has named Radiant Orchid as the latest in color trends. This bold and stunning hue offers a truly magical warmth to the beholder that is sure to both intrigue, and spark imaginative thought and creativity.
The enchanting purple shade is able to draw in the viewer, opening up the eyes, mind, heart and soul to new possibilities. With the perfect combination of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, this delectable color is sure to evoke a sense of joy, love and health within any home.
Bringing it Home: Radiant Orchid Interior Design Tips

- Radiant Orchid Pieces - Because color trends change regularly, it's not necessary to rush out and replace all of your furniture with Radiant Orchid pieces. The marriage of more transient items with more permanent furnishings is the way to go. Consider introducing a gorgeous, Radiant Orchid area rug to your living room, adding pops of color with art pieces or draperies, finding Orchid accent pieces, making use of trendy and fashionable slip covers for your dining room chairs. Your whole home doesn't have to go purple - a few strategically placed Radiant Orchid pieces can go a long way in modernizing your space.

- Color Palette - Perhaps one of the most important Radiant Orchid interior design tips involves color palette. Because the shade is bold in nature, you may prefer to counter-balance the effect with neutral tones. Radiant Orchid rugs, throw pillows and accent chairs can be made softer and more subtle when paired with beige upholstered sofas, white-toned walls, blacks or grays. For those who prefer to avoid going completely neutral, red and blue shades can be integrated into the space to add extra "pizazz" while still remaining harmonious on the color spectrum.

Embracing the latest design trends is important in guaranteeing that you are happy with the overall look of your home's interior. By sticking with these Radiant Orchid interior design tips you can create a modern yet versatile space that will remain in fashion well into the future.

What Your Lounge Room Design Says about You
Your lounge
can be a very enigmatic but terribly effective barometer of “you”, spilling all
the beans about your character and personality and baring your soul. Even if
you may not have paid too much attention to the process of decorating and
arranging your lounge room, a whole lot of subliminal, subconscious messages are
emitted by the appearance of your living space. Your guests decode and decipher these messages and make sense of them without even knowing it or indeed being aware that they
are reading into your inner being.
the beans about your character and personality and baring your soul. Even if
you may not have paid too much attention to the process of decorating and
arranging your lounge room, a whole lot of subliminal, subconscious messages are
emitted by the appearance of your living space. Your guests decode and decipher these messages and make sense of them without even knowing it or indeed being aware that they
are reading into your inner being. Cast your mind back to your school days and if you were ever called in to the principal's office for being naughty, you will remember just how intimidating the waiting area was, with the actual principal's office coming across as even more intimidating. That is because the character of the person resonates throughout the space in which that person spends a lot of their time. People rearrange spaces in which they spend a lot of their time in such a way as to feel comfortable in them. The same applies to you and your living room lounge, where you probably spend a lot of your time, while at home, prompting you to decorate it in a way which feels comfortable to you, but also speaks volumes of your character.
Here's what
your lounge room design says about you
With the
availability of so many fabulous home designer products at affordable prices, your
true character enjoys so many different ways through which it can be
represented in your lounge room design. Since home designer products include
mirrors, table lamps, accent furniture pieces, design accessories, wall décor
and art, there is plenty of opportunity for your personality to show up over
and over again and also to express itself in great detail.
Colour
With
regards to wall décor and art, the wall-paint colour is probably the most
revealing of your lounge design elements. This serves as probably the biggest
window into your soul, with the likelihood being that your décor units, like
accent furniture and design accessories, will either follow the same general colour
scheme or they will complement that colour scheme.
Blue and
light-green colour themes, which may also be represented throughout your other
home designer product ranges, paint a picture of someone who is very practical,
pragmatic and dynamic.
pragmatic and dynamic.
Black is
the colour of luxury, revealing someone who loves some elegance, with the fortunate
part of this being the availability of fabulous home designer products at
affordable prices. Because complete home designer product ranges include
mirrors, table lamps, accent furniture pieces, design accessories, wall décor
and art, all of which are available in a common colour scheme, a lot more
black-themed lounges are popping up to radiate the kind of elegance we all
secretly love.
Bright colours
such as yellow, orange and red, paint a picture of someone who is energetic,
bold and not afraid to venture where the masses dare not go, especially if the
same colours are chosen for some of the décor and furniture too.
