Book arrangement

Aug1

Books have their own value and decorate the room. However, in the case of a larger home library, it is worth breaking up the rows of books a little to make them more interesting.
We can vary the arrangement of the books by placing them vertically or horizontally on the shelves. The scene will be a little more busy. Avoid the slented solution, because it deforms the spine of the books.
Elements of a series or volumes written by a specific author can be arranged according to size, grouped according to the type of binding or even according to the color of the spines. The latter is only recommended in this case, because the arrangement of the entire library according to the rainbow only causes difficulties for those who actually use their own library and are looking for a specific book.
Place decorative objects between the books. For example, an ornamented bookend, vase, small sculpture, framed photos, storage boxes can be suitable for this. Don’t put these in front of the books, because that way it’s harder to take out the given volume and title won’t be readable either.
Place only decorations on top of the laid out volumes that will not demage the covers. So a plotted flower or a too heavy marble clock is not a good solution.
Happy reading everyone!

Paint palette 32.

Similar colors – different moods. Shades determine the final result.

Glass objects

Jun1

Glass refracts and scatters light, that’s why it is a perfect choice for decoration and accessories also – be it a bottle collection, a lamp base or even a bathroom set. Don’t be afraid to give a new function to an old but decorative glass object.

Famille wares

Apr29

Famille rose is a type of Chinese porcelain introduced in the 18th century and defined by pink overglaze enamel. The colour may actually range from pale pink to deep ruby. The gradation of colours was produced by mixing coloured enamels with ‘glassy white’, an opaque white enamel (lead arsenate).
Famille verte, adopted in the Kangxi period around 1680, uses green in a few different shades. The famille verte enamels may be painted on the biscuit (unglazed pre-fired ware), or over high-fired glaze, producing wares of different appearances. Wares with enamel painted on the biscuit usually have a solid-colour ground such as yellow, black or green, while those painted over the glaze may have a white ground.
Famille noire uses a black ground. Genuine famille noire wares were made in the Kangxi era. They may have a copper-green lead-based enamel painted over dry black cobalt ground on the biscuit, and a transparent green glaze was then applied, giving it a near-iridescent appearance.
