Weekend Projects: Inspired by the Autumn

Greetings!

Sometimes surrounding nature can be our inspiration to create something. This time, autumn has been our biggest inspiration in designing interior. It contains so many beautiful orange-ish colors and some earth colors like beige, taupe, and even grey.

I paint the wall in grey. Basically I choose to applied the Scandinavian style since it fits in a small room because of its simplicity yet interesting components in the room. I choose to mix the grey, black & white composition, and Autumn colors as the accent to make the room warmer but still being reminded of Autumn.

In this living room I also put a tall book shelf to collect all the favorite books together and read them in a comfy L-shaped sofa. This sofa is only made for two because of the limited space. But you don't have to worry about the design of your sofa, there are many other options of sofas you can explore. You can put your classic sofa or a modern one, fabric covered or leather covered sofa in the room. 

To make more easy to read in the room, I put a table lamp on a end table between sofa and the book shelf. It gives more lights to read the book. And there's a Cinnamon aromatic candle besides the lamp so it can give a nice and cozy feelings filling the room.

I still put a coffee table in front of the sofa to put a cup of warm tea and some snacks while relaxing on the sofa. I make this room a special place to hideaway from outside world and drowning in books. Sometimes a me time alone is needed when there are too many things surround.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Midweek Projects: Cozy Living Room

Greetings!

Inspired by the fireplace, since here in Indonesia we don't need fireplace to get away from cold winter, we've decided to make something different of someone's living room today.

Sometimes you need a refreshment into your living area. It's OK sometimes to look different from the others because different is pretty too.

Fireplace has been in our thought to be designed since a long time ago. But we have no chance to use the idea up until now.

We've designed a fireplace / book shelf in living room. In an informal ambient, we tried to pull the coziness inside and a perfect place to do homework, gathering as a family, and even working at home.

With no sofa, we replaced it with short wooden chair and two pouffe. The pouffe here can be used as coffee table too, and also as foot rest while reading favorite books from the collections.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Color Thrapy: White Crater Lake Color Palette

Welcome to another session on Color Therapy with House of Smichi. This time we'll go west from the place we used to be to Java Island where it has a beautiful color crater lake. Enjoy! ❤

Welcome to Bandung where in Java, they have a beautiful white crater lake. Well, the color of the lake is not white, this one has a lighter colors than any other crater lakes. So maybe that's why it's called White Crater Lake (Kawah Putih).
The color is really beautiful, blue-greenish, or we often called it turquoise. This color is gonna be our inspiration for this week. 

So, enjoy your Color Therapy session! ❤

The color TURQUOISE is between blue and green in color spectrum. The color represents tranquility and a balance of soothing green and happy yellow.

TURQUOISE can balance and control the emotion. So it can heals the one with up side down mental stress problem because the color can balances itself. Amazing isn't it?

Darker and dominant TURQUOISE will give you a dramatic ambiance. But it still can balance your emotions. You can combine with dark color like grey or black.

Sometimes the darker TURQUOISE will give you a majestic look. When you mix it with copper or gold, it is rich but still tranquil.

To create a soothing and tranquil place, you can combine TURQUOISE with white and lighter color. And if you have a sleeping problems, you can paint your room into lighter TURQUOISE.

You can find TURQUOISE color best in the bathroom. Feel the serene and tranquility of the color.

That's all for our session this week. Come and feel yourself be inspired and relax with our Color Therapy session only on House of Smichi.
See you next week!
