Seldom does modular storage system evoke a sense of design exhilaration but the “Capillair” is definitely an exception. Made from something as innocuous as rubber and felt, the adaptable storage system certainly doesn’t shy from making a style statement. The sense of drama it exudes along with the flexibility it offers makes this a complete winner in our books. Kudos to designer Carolijn Slottje for crafting this beautiful unit and making use of the cell-like components so innovatively.

The sofa should be the centerpiece of your living room and hence it should definitely impress anyone seeing it. There are plenty out-of-the-box ideas out there, but this Brick Sofa idea is definitely ingenious. Besides acting as a regular sofa day in and day out, the Brick Sofa can also act as one of those war sandbag bunkers we see in war movies and news reports all the time. Those comfy sofa pillows certainly resemble sandbags and once your kids realize the potential of the Brick Sofa, when it comes to their war games, you might have to move the couch out of the living room and include it in potential fierce battle scenarios. Oh, and in case you go for this interesting Brick Sofa for your living room then we’d really like to know what other matching furniture you happen to have around the house.

A bedroom may not be something that is accessible to everyone who comes into our homes. But it is a fact that we spend a large proportion of our lives relaxing, resting and sleeping. A bedroom is a place where we like to feel comfortable and relaxed and not tense and irritable. And therefore choosing the right furniture is extremely important.
However good quality furniture is not cheap these days and you need to pay through your nose if you want comfort, style and quality. The most basic bedroom furniture that you will need to purchase includes a bed with a headboard, side tables, a chest of drawers and a couple of chairs for times when you do not want to sit on the bed or lie down. This is apt for the master bedroom. For the children’s bedroom, however, you may have to add in a few other things as well like a study table and extra storage for the toys.
Once you start thinking about it, you will realize that good quality furniture that makes a style statement as well is expensive. One good way to finance this is to include the amount in the home loan that you are availing for the new house. When you want to upgrade the furniture in a current house, you can apply for a top up loan rather than apply for a personal loan since the interest rates are fare better.
Whether it is in addition to a new home loan or as a top up, you can use home loan calculators to assess the extra amount that you will need to pay monthly if you increase the amount of home loan that you are applying for. Home loan calculators can therefore be used to decide the amount of furniture that you want as well. Resi home loan calculators can aid in evaluating top up loans and new ones as well.
