Super dreamy, never-want-to-leave home libraries.

FREE IMAGES These pics make me oh so jealous...but I just can't turn away.

Comfy seating and good light are a great foundation to start with.

Deep violets and a Day bed!

FREE IMAGES

Casual, relaxed, capturing elegant simplicity and the down to earth charm that is what we always wanted to achieve at home. A world of color, textures, unique décor and warm hospitality too. If you are looking for something like that, you've come to the right place. The furniture at home are  quite simple and old! We love the old fragrance and the old wood and the good old  dents in these furniture.

Our style at home has evolved over the years. As the place is rented..much focus goes for the furniture at our home. I love mixing textures and neutrals but adding just a touch of color and mostly  pastel shades. A pop of colour definitely will be there from the flowers.

The  taste for textures change with seasons'too..And the "day bed" at home has helped me to keep my love for cushions and seasons  at home alive. The day bed also has changed with our priorities..It was the first piece of furniture that we got made .. it didn't have legs and was flat earlier .. and then one Diwali we decided to give it legs to give it some height and elegance.. and on goes the story of the day bed!

Bedspreads, cushion covers or an old quilt thrown on the day bed,  gives a cozy effect to the room. Can you all imagine the deep sense of tranquility and contentment that the day bed brings us?

Always having loved the  unique texture of old natural wood and  the simple details, many months ago we saw a wooden patterned screen in one of the dilapidated corners of the furniture market and the decision was impulsive to get it back home and give it a new life. As the decision was impulsive, the thought next was where to place it? And now there it stands behind the day bed!

To sum up, a small space with its furniture and accessories that has a feeling of simplicity and warmth..An eclectic comfortable space surrounded by warm colours..Absolutely simple in design. 

(Not that we had so much space in our small home..but we didn't want that amazing piece to lose its life in the corner of a market:)

I'm also a sucker for non-outdoor style furnishings outside.

 Love this spot under the trees.

Flea market fab!  Check out the grasses growing in a salvaged fireplace surround, and a day bed turned into an amazing chaise.

Have a great weekend!

Daybeds and Cushions in Living rooms

FREE IMAGES A daybed is the ultimate indulgence, but it also remains a versatile piece for resolving design dilemmas..

In fact, daybeds can be traced back to ancient Greece, Rome, and China and have endured in numerous forms throughout the ages. Whether iron, wooden, upholstered, wicker, foam, canopied, or backless, this hybrid functions in many ways -- even as a spot for serious slumbering when the moon's aglow.As seating, the daybserves as a settee or little sofa. 

In a small room, it can replace a sofa entirely, freeing up additional floor space. If the room is large, a daybed can anchor a secondary seating group that complements th

e main pieces. "With a couple of chairs, it can create an auxiliary space in the living area, tying the space down but providing another visual accent,"Although expansive living spaces might lend themselves nicely to a freestanding daybed, backless pieces are best resting against a wall and adorned with cushy pillows

Given below are some images from magazines and some from our home..

Daybed and cushions at our home,changing its colors during seasons.Season transitions do affect them too,according to our moods..how lovely isnt it?

During summers,bright colors add to the summer cheer at home
During monsoons,the mood changes into pastel greens and blue

Hope the day bed post relaxes all of you and brings you all into the world of decor inspirations...
