Aloha Hawaii

I have never heard somebody have something against Hawaii. After all it is a beautiful place, perfect for vacation. So if you cannot find the time or money to go there, why not bring Hawaii into our apartments. Here are some very fresh, vibrant home decors inspired by Hawaii.

A very inexpensive and at the same time reaching the desired effect thing to do is to buy wallpaper with palms. Nowadays, there are a lot of stores that have tons of wallpapers and it is very easy to put them on the wall. A couple of pillows with fruits and patterns and there you go - you have a little bit of Hawaii into your bedroom or living room.

If you want to get deeper into the subject you can buy armchairs with some leaves drawn on them, with flower patterns, coconuts, or anything that reminds of Hawaii. Armchairs with delicate patterns that just imply the feel of Hawaii are a perfect solution for people who love to redecorate often because there might be no need to throw them away. On the other hand if the room is full of obvious hints about Hawaii probably the furniture will not fit any other interior-design decision that you make.

Great decision for an entrance corridor is to incorporate some details into the wall, use furniture from typical for the Hawaiian culture materials, typical colors, etc. Mint green blue and rustic wood will be a good choice. I found this very nice foyer and I just loved the wallpaper that has bamboo intertwined bamboo sticks on it. It will be a good choice not only for a foyer but also for a bathroom.

Accessories can help you a lot with making the place feel more Hawaiian. A drawing of Hawaiian shores, or some flower, won't cost you a lot but are a very good choice for the space above your bed. Bedside wooden lamps, decorative cushions with the typical Hawaiian flowers will blend in perfectly.

Rattan chair and coffee table with glass jar filled with seashells also brings the Hawaiian feel. If you have a nice corner on the terrace this is the perfect place to create you small island.

The Heart of the Home

People say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and they are not far from the truth. This is the place where thousands of memories take place in everybody's house- the breakfasts before school when we were kids, the family evenings over a lovely meal, the sunday panckakes, the gatehrings with friends etc.

And every kitchen has a character- it can be a sweet bright place where you cook cupcakes and desserts; it can be a rustic place, or simple and contemporary- the type where you prepare your morning bagel and the orange juice and in 5 minutes leave for work. 

But no matter whether the place has wooden floors, bricks walls, stainless-steel countertops, glass-door cabinets, bronze dishes, massive light fixtures it is the place that everyone loves. So dress it up accordingly- choose the vibe that the place will have according to your character. Bright or dark, rustic or contemporary, massive or small, does not matter. Check out those ideas grouped according to one's character and preferences.

#2 Cheerful
A Mod Eat-In  Space-extending moves and budget-stretching materials turn a tiny 1960s kitchen into a vibrant family hub. Orange countertops and accents pop against clean white cabinetry in this cheerful kitchen.

I love the contrast in this design. The pink is some how more delicate, more feminine against this rustic table. What a beautiful balance.

#11Cute
Cute kitchen booth. Nobody is a fan of eating with the sun in their eyes. Some decor team shades would be able to prevent that from happening. We could also make custom pillows for the booth to match the curtains. 8341 E Evans Rd STE 108 Scottsdale AZ 85260. www.decorteamus.com

#12 Artistic
Can we have a blackboard to write shopping lists and stuff on?!

#13 Determined
Beautiful and homey, although I'd skip the black countertop. I've always wanted countertops of bluish slate, or of several slate colors: blue, green, red. But only if they can be covered with some clear seamless finish -- I have learned to hate tile counters and their crumb-clinging grout.

#14 Honest
extended island = eat-in kitchen...no need for dining table, can make into family room
