Myndu Interior Design

It made me giggle! And now I want one, we are going to have to build one this weekend.

The idea here is very cute and I love the idea, though I would use nicer looking materials!

A shelf where the books are hung from underneath – very practical, you can then put things on top of the shelf as well.

Some vague diy instructions can be found at http://dornob.com/diy-make-your-own-upside-down-bookshelves/.

An ideal project for those that like a quick result.

Recently, I came across some of the work done by Karim Rashid and I must admit to being fascinated.

Karim is the undisputed king of color and has been cited as "the man who made pink masculine".

Area rugs come in many different styles, shapes, colors, patterns, and of course material. But what material is more durable than some? Luxury doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to break the budget but that it is durable and will give you the quality you are looking and hoping for. Many area rugs are now made from machines but many area still do a few by hand. These hand created rugs are art rather than rugs to some since they are very detailed and it shows they put their all into the design.

Flat woven area rugs are the oldest construction out there but also the most basic. It will give you a durable and versatile covering of your floor. The flat woven is sometimes used for tapestries as well. Each side of the flat woven area rug is identical to each other so you won’t need to make sure which to face upwards.

The hand knotted area rug design is a masterpiece in its own. This speaks luxury when you first see its work. The hand knotted area rug is a dying art which takes much dedication and experience to create. The hand knotted area rugs take anywhere from 6 months or more to create depending on the depth of each design. Many area rugs of such are more like art on a wall rather than placed on the floor to be trampled on!

Hand tufted area rugs are mostly like the hand knotted area rugs but quite cheaper. You’ll still get the same quality but it won’t be as in depth as the hand knotted. You’ll notice the small groups of yarn which are through tight knot canvas. They’ll also place a backing on the one side of the area rug to give it more support. These are beautiful area rugs as well if you aren’t looking to spend what you would on a hand knotted area rug.

No matter what type of area rug you go with you want it to last. By vacuuming it at least once a week you’ll save it from being eaten by moths. Once you feel it’s time for a change you can roll it up and store it in a dry, cool area rug. Never fold an area rug since it can cause seams.
