HGTV Dream Home 2014 : Second Floor Hallway Pictures

About the Second Floor Hallway:

More than just a thoroughfare, the stairwell and second floor landing offer a mix of industrial and traditional elements worthy of a second look. Upon climbing the thoroughly modern staircase, a more traditional seating area highlights local art pieces and provides a quiet spot for late-night or early morning reading.

The space at the top of a staircase is often an afterthought when it comes to design. Not so in HGTV Dream Home 2014: Interior designer Linda Woodrum turned it into a functional seating area filled with artful objects and mountain views.

Asian Decorating

Asian art and home decor ... mysterious and mystic symbolism combined with exotic imagery, and origins dating back thousands of years, are what puts Asian design among the most popular around the world today.

The Asiatic style, otherwise known as Far Eastern or Oriental decorating, has several distinct roots tracing back to the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Japan. The most prolific Asian motifs found throughout the world, however, fall into the Chinese and Japanese categories

Haiku Designs is pleased to offer our Kyoto Platform Bed and the Kyoto Nightstand, one of our lines of contemporary bedroom furniture that captures some of the elegant beauty and magic of this classical Edo period.

The Rajah Platform Bed With Storage

When referring to the East or the Orient, most people would think of Japan, China, Korea or areas close to these countries. If you had asked, however, any Europeans in the 1700 and 1800’s to what country they would refer to when mentioning the East, they would have quickly replied to "India" or the "Indian subcontinent." It is to this area that we take our inspiration for our beautiful Rajah Platform as well as the full line of Rajah complimentary bedroom furniture. "Rajah" is Sanskrit for "king" and the term is used in Southeast Asia and India to signify that the bearer of the title is of noble lineage.

The Colors Work On Many Surfaces

Walls, ceilings, trim, floors, furniture, cabinets and accessories — no matter what you're painting, the colors, expertly selected for each collection, work beautifully together.

Coordination Boosts Confidence

"More and more people are becoming confident in their ability to create designer-look rooms all on their own," says Jackie. "Painting walls vibrant colors can be a way for your home to reflect your personality — and it's easy to try something new."

Inspiration Translates to Color Choices

What catches your eye? The sky, a seashell, a car, an outfit, flowers? What's your favorite place? Take note and a pattern will emerge. Notice the colors you love, and then choose the palette(s) in this collection to make your home your favorite place.

You're Not Stuck in Neutral

Each collection features neutral options, but quiet background choices don't have to mean boring spaces. You have the freedom to choose as few or as many and as calm or as bright colors as you wish. No matter how you combine them, you'll always have a perfect palette.

The Color Collections Are Design Guides

Colors within each of the eight collections work beautifully together, no matter how many or how few you select. Pull the hues into window treatments, pillows, fabrics, area rugs and accessories or update the look of furniture with a fresh coat of paint.

You Can Start Small

Paint a dresser, chairs, desk, bookcase or picture frames with a color you love, but are afraid to use in large doses. Or, experiment with a new wall color in a small space like a foyer, powder room or laundry room. Small steps into the world of color increase your confidence.

The Collections Simplify the Simple

Paint color is one of the simplest ways to change the atmosphere of a room — and to have fun with it. It doesn't take an expert to reinvigorate a room with color. Depending on the new shade(s), a room can be dramatically different or simply refreshed. Even a new coating of ivory or light gray over a white wall can make a big difference!

Smart Solutions for Small Bathrooms 2014 Ideas

Make a big splash in a pint-size bath by indulging in chic fixtures and glamorous finishes. Look to colorful fabrics, updated fixtures, and storage niches to help your tiny bath sparkle.

I hope you find these ideas useful and inspiring to you ...... Enjoy it !!

Cabinet doors can visually weigh down a petite bath. Keep things light and airy with a furniture-style vanity. With this unit, baskets hold supplies on the bottom shelf, ensuring the undersink area provides plentiful storage. Small drawers on both sides of the sink house small toiletries and cosmetics.

Give a plain bath a quick update by plucking out a few of the existing tiles and replacing them with decorative glass tiles. Flashy new 4x4 inch solid green tiles alternate with a mosaic motif to take the white tiles in this bath from sterile to sensational. To continue the shimmery theme, swap out a standard light fixture in favor of a chandelier. Add a dimmer switch to set the mood for ultimate relaxation.

When you're tight on space, call on a pedestal sink or two! A traditional vanity would have closed in this bath and obscured the shower, but a pair of pedestal sinks provides the luxury of a space built for two while maintaining an open feeling. A skylight above adds natural light to this interior room, also making it feel bigger.

Give your bath a timeless look by splurging on a marble countertop and save on inexpensive cabinetry. This simple marble-topped workbench-style vanity provides room for towels and toiletries under the sink. Simple cotton skirting, instead of traditional doors, keeps the items under wraps. Flirty green floral wallpaper adds cottage style that's easy to update in the future.

Create an eye catching focal point by pressing an antique table or dresser into service as a vanity. Modern vessel sinks partnered with vintage inspired bridge faucets connect old and new in this bath. To keep the look streamlined, two slender vertical mirrors hide 9 inch deep medicine cabinets, one complete with an outlet for the hair dryer.

A powder room is a great place to showcase high style. It's a smart place to invest in luxurious products because this room is often frequented by guests, and its small footprint will keep your budget in order. Here, a wall of glass mosaic tile creates a dramatic backdrop for a glamorous retreat. A standout vanity echoes the rich tone, and a shapely toilet continues the geometric theme.

The one strike against installing a pedestal sink in a small bath is limited storage space. By adding a tall, skinny cabinet behind the sink, you can have the best of both worlds: convenient compartments for beauty products and a streamlined sink that won't weigh your bath down.

Carve out additional storage by building a recessed shelf between the studs in a wall. Recessed shelves put unused space to work and don't take up floor real estate, which is a plus in a small bath.

With a touch of sparkle, a diminutive powder room can morph into a stunning jewel. In this small bath, slivers of glass tile create a shimmering backdrop for an infinity style sink. Create a similar effect for less cash by covering a single wall with vibrant wallpaper.

For a sleek, clean look, keep storage flush with walls whenever possible. Narrow shelving units also help you edit what you keep in your bathroom. With just enough storage, you'll have space to store the essentials, with no room left over for clutter.

Visually lighten a floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinet by combining open shelves with closed doors. Towels, soaps, and glass canisters are perfect candidates for open shelving because they're decorative and functional. Closed storage is important for storing personal items, cleaning supplies, and laundry bins.

Compartmentalized rooms appear smaller, while open spaces create the illusion of size. To maintain an open view, trade in a traditional shower curtain for clear glass doors, which help stretch the visual length of the room. Continue the bath flooring into the shower to amplify the effect.
