When choosing a sofa, we often choose the most practical option when it comes to deciding on fabrics. Customers tend to choose dark colours to hide any stains that might occur due to wine, kids, pets, food and drinks. This is now a thing of the past thanks to the invention on Teflon, a fantastic fabric stain protector!

Now, we have all talked at length about how to use simply white, soft pastels and lively contrasts to brighten your space and decorate in such a way that the room in question seems larger, brighter and more open. A new trend creeping in to 2019 is a sultrier side to interior decorating, and that is the use of black.

Traditionally, a type of side table placed or attached to the wall. The ‘Console table’ had first gained popularity in 17^th century Italy. These were mostly carved from one side, making them pieces of sculpture as well as furniture, often marble topped. A console table was very much a display piece/ fashion statement, making an appearance in aristocratic homes; with France continuing the trend and slightly altering the design with inward curved legs. This made the design a lot more eccentric and classifying as the baroque style.

Gone are the days of a 3-piece suite of the same matching sofa, armchair and footstool all in the same coloured fabric. Having the same uniform colour across your whole room will actually dampen the space and make it look smaller. These are the rules of visualisation, having a lot of the same thing tricks the eye into thinking that there is more if it than there actually is. By breaking things up and having more contrast going on within the room is going to open up the space and make it look bigger. 

A lot of the trends we see now, particularly in fashion and interior design, are trends that have come full circle, from when our parents are young, and made a reappearance into our homes again. We spend so much time talking about fabrics and textures and colours that we sometimes completely forget about leather.

Mirrors are a cunning way to deceive the eye and are a great decorating tool in all sorts of situations. Mirrors can be used to enhance something or deflect attention away from it. Awkward spaces, such as rooms with a sloping ceiling or a gap too small to fit a piece of furniture, can be repurposed with a mirror.

Scandinavians adapted a distinctive way of living that evolves around interior design, in order to improve their daily life. Some of the main characteristics of Scandinavian design are clean lines, comforting accessories, small compact sizes, simple accents, rustic and refined at the same time.

For a lot of people, especially in this non-stop modern time we live in, the bedroom is a place of solitude and peace. A sanctuary that can be completely your own. You can decorate it to your own taste and comfort to create a space that is quite simply, unique to you.

With the clocks moving forward at the end of this month it is hard not to look forward to the longer days. The sun coming out, festivals, picnics… you name it there are loads of reasons to be excited for summer! This being said, no matter what time of year it is, Camerich aim to help you cast a new light on your space if you are simply touching up or trying out something completely new.

Whilst I am beginning to think that this is a common issue, especially in England, people often look for kitchen/closet/bedroom sofas that are around 160cm. 

Look no further, here at Camerich, we offer a wide variety of ranges that work perfectly with this number. 

Sideboards are a great accessory to add to every home. Although they are traditionally designed to be used in dining rooms to store plates, crockery and other dining accessories, there are countless other uses for them. 

In 2019 it is time to bring the outdoors, indoors. There are many increasingly popular ways of using concrete in our homes from furnishings such as dining tables and work surfaces, to floors and walls.
