My Kitchen Diner | Interior

Hello lovelies, now this post is based around my kitchen diner and the interior that comes along with it. I know for a fact that I adore looking at interior magazines and online and exploring different designs of rooms, especially kitchens. I've recently had my kitchen and dining room converted into a kitchen diner. It was so SO tiny before and now it's so much more spacious and welcoming. Before we had a new kitchen put in, it was difficult at parties and family/friend get togethers to communicate with others when preparing food as there was a wall between the kitchen and dining room. I'd say having converted the kitchen and dining room into a kitchen diner it has changed my life for the better. Not only my life has it changed but also my mums and close family members too.

We wanted to go for a modern yet retro theme for the kitchen diner, although I do like the vintage theme also, we wanted something a bit more original and quirky. So, I have gone around my kitchen and dining room and taken a fair few pictures for you to see and enjoy. This may even give you some inspiration and ideas if you're re-decorating or converting to a kitchen diner, for layout and interior design purposes. :-)

Favourite Closet Designs

Hello everybody! Yes it's been a considerable amount of time since I last did a blog post so therefore I came to the decision of posting a new one. This one is basically revolved around closet designs. I think there are such great and ideal ways of storing clothes, whether that's just a few items on a clothes rail or perhaps in an elegant walk-in wardrobe. I believe there is some exquisite fascination of mine on closet designs that I would like to share with you. I've been doing my research for this post and found some really different and quirky designs of closets, however i've gone for a more girly and plain approach to this.

 In my case, less is more. Enjoy! :-)

I find open closets even more stylish if the clothes are colour coordinated. Not only can you find your clothes easier but it looks much more chic. That's a bonus for me personally. As you may have noticed, I have gone for a white closet colour scheme, the reason for this is that I find that the clothes stand out more and it looks so much more classier than a brown, black or oak wardrobe/closet. This post has really made me want to go out and get a new wardrobe, as mine is so tiny and my clothes are getting crammed inside. Hopefully one day I can have a walk-in wardrobe in my own home :) 

The second picture of the clothes rail really caught my eye, it's beneficial for storage space, you get to show off your clothes, you can decorate it, for example wrapping fairy lights around it and I think they're funky and original. The other designs are fairly similar, I like the way that accessories are included such as bags and shoes, it makes the designs much more intriguing and fashionable. 

I hope you've enjoyed this post, you never know it could've inspired you to make your closets look cuter and girly; even for boys ;') Have a nice day/week/month, till next time, bye!:-) :-)   

Exterior Design | lifewithluce

Hi there! I thought it was time for another blog post as it's been a good few days since I last did one. After some different thoughts and ideas on what this blog post would be about I came to the decision that exterior design would be a good idea :-) House designs, inside and out, have been a great passion of mine since I was around eight or nine years old. It began when I went to Victoria in Australia when I was eight. The architecture and different designs in houses and buildings really opened my eyes, not just in an intrigued sense but also in a possible career path. Since then, i've been obsessed with exterior and interior designs. In this post i'm going to show you four beautiful and interesting houses of which i've fallen in love with. I hope you enjoy reading! :-)

Firstly-

This stunning, Georgian featured house has such elegance and beauty. I really think the deep grey door complements the white finish to the house perfectly. Personally I can't find fault in the classic architecture, it looks like an ideal family home with welcoming touches. I'd definately be a proud home owner if this was my house. It looks quite large from the outside which suggests that the rooms inside are spacious and open- something I always look for in a house. I like the fact there is greenery around the house to bring more colour and depth to the house surroundings, you can clearly see a white, grey and green colour theme in this picture.

My next picture-

Now onto this beautiful cottage, I think most people would agree with me that this house has such character and warmth. I'd say it's a rural home due to the vast amount of greenery, this could be seen as a negative thing because of how the trees don't allow any light inside the house. However, it definitely looks cute and pretty from the outside. I love the doors and windows too, they really bring out the country feel to it. Again, this cottage looks like an ideal family home and even though it's slightly enclosed within the trees and bushes, I still find it a welcoming home for family and friends due to it's beauty and charm. 

My third house-

I'm literally obsessed with grand, beverly hills type houses like these. I think the blue rimmed windows really give that edge to the house and make it look so much more classier. Obviously the image instantly becomes much more interesting with this amazing pool. It also looks quite 'grown up'. I also really like the fact that it's so tall, the three stories make the house look and feel much more high class and exclusive. I would definately love to live here, it looks like the perfect place for parties and get togethers :-)

My last house-

Now I thought by having a different range of designed houses it would make people more fascinated by this post. I wanted to show you this unique and engaging house to perhaps increase your knowledge on different architecture. I find this intriguing house really striking and exotic, what I mean by that is that I find having open planned houses really modern and convenient. I find the greenery from the trees make the household much more hidden and private. This house reminds me of a smaller version of the Cullen house in twilight, as childish as it seems, it makes me much more inclined to see not just the exterior of the house but the interior too. It seems as if it's an Eco friendly house due to how the house is surrounded by the environment. I really appreciate this peculiar and extraordinary architecture because of how much thought has been put into it plus it's one of my most favourite designs of houses in this post.

Thankyou for reading this post and spending your time on it. You never know, if you've been inspired you could be doing similar posts to this in the near future. Bye for now!   :-) 

4 Peacefully Designed Bedrooms | Interior

I believe having a warm, cosy and comforting bedroom is they key to relaxation and a good nights sleep. In this post i'm going to show you my four most favourite bedrooms I have collected over the last couple of months. These bedrooms I have chosen have a range of character and creativity. 

My first choice of bedroom-

With this gorgeous design of a bedroom you can clearly see passion with the plain but calm scheme. I really like this open and bright bedroom because it's cool yet sophisticated and I think it'd work brilliantly as a spare room or even a small master bedroom. The only thing that I can criticise on is the privacy, i'd feel rather exposed with the neighbours view in clear sight however that's common in most houses. I can see also they have added extra class with the splash of brown and creams from the cushions and the picture frames on the shelves. 

My second choice- 

I absolutely adore this room! It has so much character and almost has a old century feel to it. The colour of the walls compliment the grey bed throws superbly and the touch of gold and chestnut give that interest and quality. The picture gives that bold statement to the decor which I personally find important in interior- to have that edge! I'd definitely love this style of decor in my own house and is a really cute and exciting idea for a double bedroom.  

Third choice of bedroom-

So this is a really unusual and bold choice for me although the 'old fashioned' theme is a great interest of mine and I really have a big passion with vintage bedrooms. It reminds me of the series Downton Abbey me and my mum used to watch and I think a personal message behind interior is such a heart warming thing to me. The green and red colour scheme is really stunning and courageous to have such bold colours together, nevertheless it works perfectly in this decor. The large Georgian styled double was quite a risky option but I think it reflects my personality in it's bold, wacky and interesting sense.  

And lastly my fourth choice- 

     

Ok, so my last unique bedroom I have to show you today is this remarkable, cute and quirky bedroom. I saw this and knew straight away that i just had to include it in my blog post. This has to be the cutest yet smallest room i've ever encountered! But it's the fact that they've used the space so well by just adding a tv at one side and an all important radiator at the other. Plus, the fairy lights above add warmth and uniqueness. Not to mention the gorgeous, floral duvet cover included! I'd just be scared of falling out of the window it's that enclosed.. I love the personal touch by adding photos on the wall too, I think this is definitely designed for a young girl of even a teen. 

Well that's my four gorgeous bedrooms for you! I hope you've enjoyed reading this post and perhaps leave a comment if you like! Thanks for reading :)
