Loft Decorating Ideas

Lofts are in! They are everywhere you look. As cool as they are, lofts are often hard to furnish. By not having the divisional space of traditional rooms, one often has to be creative in furnishing a loft. Cool artwork, functional furniture and use of colors/texture are a must.

Here are a few ideas in furnishing your loft:

1)Invest in a great sofa--one that is comfortable to sit, snuggle yet beautiful enough as this is the first thing most people see after walking in the door. Here is a few of our favorites:




This sofa is long (105 inches), modern and classic. It can be done in our fabric or yours (we've done it in cream and chocolate--it's marvelous).

Domicile Sofa by Bolier $2595-customer own material

Another one of our favorite (this one sits so well, it's unbelievable how comfortable it is).



White Leather Sectional by Moroni $3500

Artwork is another very important component in furnishing a loft. Here are some cool ones that can be custom-size (yes, you can have it as large as you want it).


Oh Hey Longo $450 (36x24-Custom size available)

Check out the rest of the contempory art collection designed with lofts in mind.

For design ideas, we love Metropolitan Home Magazine.

For design inspirations, we love luxury boutique hotels. A good site to check out boutique hotels is Tablet Hotels.

Very Cool Modern Rugs from Mats-The Basics

We found a really great rug line that we just have to share with you. Despite the clunky name, they make wonderful modern rugs that are stylish yet clean-lined and simple. That's so hard to find, don't you think so? Many contemporary rugs are a bit too austere, too severe perhaps.

Here are some of our favorites:

The rugs runs between $500 for a 5x7 to $1500 for a 8 x 12. They are very well-made too. Most are made with 100% New Zealand wool, hand-tufted.

We'll be loading these up on our rugs section next week, so please check back soon.

Supercopa Seat León. A las carreras con la abuela.

En este 2010 se está celebrando la novena edición de la Supercopa Seat León, una competición en la que todos los coches son de este modelo de la marca Seat. Gracias a que los premios son jugosos, las reglas técnicas y deportivas están bien pensadas y a que el Seat León es un coche que se presta a este tipo de cosas, esta competición monomarca es todo un lujo.

Madrid, Valencia, Portimao, Navarra, Andalucía o Barcelona serán escenario de las carreras. Si os apetece ir “por lo jeta” a disfrutar de las carreras no dejéis de visitar www.emocionsinlimite.com, donde podéis conseguir entradas a parte de tener toda la información sobre la competición.

También podéis disfrutar en Facebook de la Supercopa Seat León, además de informaros y comentar lo que queráis sobre las carreras, los pilotos, o qué haríais vosotros si os dejaran meter vuestro Seat León en el circuito. Pero bueno, por orden, para lo primero, algo más serio y oficial, está http://www.facebook.com/supercopaseatleon. Para lo segundo, para decir sandeces, colgar fotos gansas y hasta charlar con algunos tipos importantes está http://www.facebook.com/aaaesl, que es el FB de la Asociación de Abuelas Amantes de la Emoción Sin Límites.

El vídeo de arriba es el de este año, y es que no hay nada como llevarse a la abuela a las carreras. Eso sí, en plena carrera, a pesar de todo, no se podrá aguantar y dirá aquello de “hijo, que vas muy recio, levanta el pie”; así que mejor dejarla cuidando del coche y haciendo unos pañitos para los asientos, que siempre visten mucho.

El vídeo del año pasado tampoco está nada mal. Aquí os dejo el enlace: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQrVbg9xXLE. No os olvidéis de que por mucho Seat León que tengáis, a correr a los circuitos y con casco.
