key points in renovations. Large windows, a modern kitchen with a full range of appliances, a luxurious four-poster bed, and a real or imitation fireplace - almost everything can be reduced in scale and cost and implemented in real life.
COLLECT PICTURES Collect the magazine images of interiors you like in a separate folder. Sooner or later it will be possible to sit down and analyze the collection. Colour? Composition? What parts thread through all the saved pictures? If you are not averse to analyzing your impulses, this method is perfect for you.
VARIETY It is perfectly normal to like several styles. Relax and let yourself love the variety. After all, an eclectic look is not only effective and safe; it is capable of creating a truly comfortable home.

OWN STYLE When we change furniture or arrange a completely new home we are faced with difficult choices. Modern or classic? Monochrome or elegant eclecticism? A built-in ergonomically correct arrangement or a house filled to a brim where there is space for the full range of furniture products? Yes, choosing your style is extremely difficult. How do we conduct the selection process? Should we blindly follow fashion or search for something individual?
WALK AROUND THE HOUSE Who is that stranger waking up every morning, going out and coming back and spending a lot of time here? Identify the things that you are eager to dispose of and those dear to your heart. The latter will become the basis for the future style of your home.

Or you love the twilight, and therefore cannot have heavy curtains. Turn these associations into a tool for making the right style decisions.

In short, free your imagination, be honest and be prepared to fall in love! This will lead to creating an authentic and individual, comfortable and stylish décor that will make you feel truly at home. And this is our ultimate goal.
