Hello there. Do you ever wonder where the time has gone? We just carry on our daily routines without realising how the days, months and years fly by. Once upon a time a European pop act called Boney M recorded a song titled ‘The Calendar Song’ where they sang all the months ‘January, February, March...’

It is February, and for some of us it is the month of love and romance – Valentine’s Day!

Do you ever wonder why we need to look good? Maybe it is the need to be attractive to other people – the looks, the clothing and the presentation are all important parts of this. Interior design is also about the ‘look’.

It is a new beginning for all of us. Happy New Year! All the best for 2010! This January topic was taken from one of the projects that I enjoyed working on.

In the October topic of the column, I shared design tips and information about how to achieve that ‘VERY’ homely, luxurious and truly practical room design for everyday living! Here I will continue with the same project; FUTURE DELUXE, with more information on why particular accessories and furniture have been chosen.

Do you ‘REMEMBER YESTERDAY’ that I promised to continue the flawless way design tips? Of course YES. Here are the final brief steps on how to finish your home design project with the ‘LOOK’ you wanted.

Have you noticed that nowadays everywhere you go in town there are ‘SALE’ signs displayed in shop windows? The current economic situation is a bad time for many of us but you can also use this as an opportunity to grab the best offers you can to update your home; hallway, lounge, bedroom and also the bathroom. On a tight budget? Then why not join me on a brief journey in updating one of the most important areas of your home – the bathroom.

Have you ever asked yourself ‘should I use an interior designer?’ Are you afraid that using the service will be too expensive? The answer is no.

So sit back, exhale; ‘STOP’ and ‘READ’! Let me show you how you can use an interior designer in my ‘Laid Back Glamour’ column this month.

I am thrilled to present the birth of ‘Laid Back Glamour’ my first monthly Interior Design column for ID-DIGEST.

I hope you will enjoy reading the article as I have enjoyed researching and writing the topic and with this I hope you will gain some information and tips in finding your storage solutions within your ‘LOVELY’ home. Here I have also included some examples photographs for storage unit.

Welcome to my first chapter...

Seasons come and go and as you know we are reaching the final days of 2009.

Festive lights decorate the city streets, bringing joy and excitement to all of us. It is a time to be shared with loved ones, enjoying your favourite music or even watching a movie during the Christmas holiday season. As for me, a Christmas CD titled ‘Christmas Spirit’ by Donna Summer will be top of the play list favourites.

Here I would like to share an inspiration - an interpretation design project that I have created based on the personality of Donna Summer.

There are many design styles you may want to introduce into your home. To achieve the particular style you long for needn’t be difficult. You can always start by reading glossy interior design publications, but the first step could be to be bold and adventurous! Start a ‘DESIGN AFFAIR’ with a qualified interior designer!

Are you thinking of redesigning your home but without knocking down any existing walls? And are you looking out for some inspiration? Do you ever ask yourself are there any key rules to help you complete the task successfully? Of course ‘YES’ is the answer! Here are some brief points I would suggest.

It is now the fourth month of the Laid Back Glamour column. It is June, summertime, and a lot of people have plans in their diaries.

For the April issue of ‘Laid Back Glamour’ I will talk about how we can incorporate pattern and color into your home.

Some of you may be afraid to express yourselves by creating the ‘SAFE LOOK’ to please others. So let’s just think of ‘YOU’ and get the ‘WOW’ factor in your home.

So follow me on a journey with regards to the subject and have a look at some photographic examples I have selected for you.
