Shelving Units

More inspiration from Alf da Fre. Previously, we showcased their solutions for rooms with TV as focus, but this set lays emphasis on shelving.

We like how this collection is a mix and match of sort. Some are wall-attached, some have easy access from 2 sides, some are partially concealed by sliding doors and all come in a plethora of shades. Looks like they have done a good job in making a rather dull, furniture unit into an interesting, colorful piece that brings out your living space. The one caveat is that you will need quite a large room to pull this off.

Luxury Living Rooms from Busnelli

Italian furniture design company, Busnelli describe their furniture as forms and styles that continuously evolve, that are minimally chic, and that are ample and sturdy in design but not lacking in comfort or elegance. Indeed, when you look at these Busnelli couches, you can picture them in any style of room, in any part of the world, during almost any era. We think it really is a mix of styles and Busnelli sofas may appeal to the modern minimialist or even to the traditional, older housewife. What do you think?

Bachelor Pad Ideas

The home entertainment zone is ever present in a bachelor pad, so get it right with enough stylish storage to house all your gadgets, and always hide away ugly wiring. If you’re not a collector of knickknacks, textured wall panels add personality to a living space, though do try to break up collections of books with some softer forms to create a more visually pleasing shelf display. Plenty of shelving for music and magazines keeps the place tidy and organized, and smart storage hides away junk in a flash, choose furniture of just a few shades for a pulled together cohesive look.
