Decoration 101 : Colors!
Color is a crucial element in decoration, as in any artistic profession; it is what brings the work to life. Each person's sensitivity to color is different, and we do not all perceive the same shades. But don't worry, this is something that can be developed—our eyes can be trained to perceive more nuances. For example, there are 118 names for different shades of white (Titanium White, Ivory White, Off-White…), and no one could perceive them all!

How to design a small space ? (II)
This Article will provide you with all the advice you need to arrange your small space by choosing the right furniture, because if we hadn't mentioned it in the first part, it is indeed an essential element to consider for this kind of project.

How to design a small space?
We don't always think about it when it's not our job, but the choice of colours and materials can have a major impact on the overall look of a space. And when it comes to designing a small space, there are a few things you need to know to avoid making any mistakes. In a small space, too many colours and textures will tend to give an overloaded effect. To avoid this, we advise you to opt for white or even transparent colours, which will visually lighten your space, punctuated by touches of bright colour at strategic points to catch the eye.
Minimalism
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away". Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. This minimalist consciousness has been around for some time. But to date it has never had so much impact or strength. We see this trend on a daily basis, often exercised by major brands such as Apple and their simplistic designs, Ikea and their Scandinavian furniture where use is the primary reason for the furniture's existence, and Monoprix, which presents its products in packaging stripped of useless but powerful information.
Plants & Interior design
There's a reason why plants are so popular in the world of design: they're known for their beneficial effects on reducing air and noise pollution, as well as for their positive effect on well-being, as they've been the subject of numerous scientific studies. These have shown that plants aid concentration, reduce stress and anxiety, and purify the air. They are therefore considered to be of great benefit to both our mental and physical health. So many good reasons to find a place for them in your home!
