Pillow Talk

Thomas Paul

Soft, sumptuous pillows remind us all of a lazy afternoon when it is pouring hard outside and the sky is overcast with dark clouds. 

And the effect really multiplies when you are staying next to the sea and the roaring waves are breaking against your boundary wall amidst pounding rains. Have you ever watched the rain pouring over the sea? Try to catch the image sometime... you will be mesmerised!!

By the way, this post is not about rains but pillows. More precisely, the pillow cover designs. I am sharing some designs that I love....

SERENA

Pillows and Throws

These unusual designs will liven up any room with a touch of modernism and aesthetics. So curl up with one of these pillows next to a window and watch the pitter-patter or the blinding rain outside.

Living with Art

Many people love to collect paintings and other pieces of artifacts. And these items add a dimension to their rooms and tell something about the owners' taste. Some even collect quirky things. So let's see how art enhances an interior and add a touch of colour?

Vibrant Versace room-- Over the top

Mix of Classy and modern

An opulent look

Pictures grouped together...

A bedroom looks serene with a painting, a wall hanging....

or a painted cabinet can be teamed up with a statue...

 

 

 I also love the golden edged bed cover

Kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house. So do not ignore this space....

Quirky pieces create a point of interest

Some may find it obnoxious!

My End Table

This week I will unveil a corner of my living room. I have acquired a new coffee table, so my earlier coffee table now serves as my end table where I keep our phone and other knick-knacks... Have a look and feel free to leave your comments -- I would love to hear from you!!!

Buddha at Home

Buddha figurines have become a popular aspect in Asian interior decor scene. The meditating figure ushers in peace and spirituality into any room. Whether big or small, indoors or outdoors, in your drawing room or bedroom, meditating or dancing-- Buddha, with a zen-like  smile-- immediately becomes a centrepiece! Some like to put Buddha on the wall, some on the table, some even in their bathrooms....

So where is your Buddha statue?
