Woman This Month - August 2012

Out of the Box Moving away from antique trends, we came upon this fascinating range of home accessories from a Portuguese furniture brand, Boca do Lobo. The pixel cabinet is a stunning piece that could work well in any space. It is safe to say that none of the items available at this store is remotely predictable. Swaying between enchantment and modish styles, their collection boasts beautiful handcrafted works. Each fusion of art and design is presented in a limited collection of 20 items at the most. They are considered an expression of emotions rather than just a piece of furnishing. Their heritage sideboard is quite distinctive as well, with its tile painting theme and jigsaw-like edges. Never ceasing to surprise, adding a Boca do Lobo to your décor will guarantee a lot of praises as they never go unnoticed. 39 woman this month | August 2012 | Now that Ramadan and Eid are upon us, there isn’t an abode that isn’t going through the frequent spell of guests. It is the perfect time of the year to give your existing décor a brand new appeal. We all know that a little rearrangement can go a long way. The real trick, though, is adding a few new accessories in your living space to be excited about. Swap the anchor pieces in the room you’d like to spend most of your time in with new ones. Older items hit upon new freshness when placed in other parts of the house. We love the Travel in Tuscany line from Flamant’s Spring-Summer collection which parades the raw quality of wood. The furniture is so naturally textured that you can still feel the rich grainy surface. Every item in this range has a distinct curvy nature to it and is finished with perfect carved feet. Other parts are given a corroded quality for that genuine ageless appeal. According to Sia Home Fashion, objects travel through time to reinvent themselves in a new life. The mouth-blown glass range is perfect for your dining table. Retro is always in and this array of glasses, tumblers and vases are just the thing. Marina Exotic Home Interiors is popular for its range of striking vintage accessories. The variety of trunks on display has certainly caught our eye, especially the jacquard ones in rich hues with black linings. A similarly inspiring piece is the Architecte Typographer furniture from Roche Bobois. Not only does it add a dash of colour to your room, it does so with a traditional touch. Meanwhile, Home Centre offers you everything you need for a brighter home, from glamorous high-gloss finishes and designer chic minimalism to a playful mix of bright colours to classic comfortable pieces.
