If your living room is not ready yet and you still have not got any ideas for the style you want to adopt, here are some ideas for you. It depends on your tastes and preferences the way you choose your decorations and the combinations of colors.The first example refers to a living room where the combination of orange and some turquoise accents is smashing. For those who love these colors and would like to attract the attention and create a colorful environment is a nice option.

Those who like sparkling ambiances and are more fashionable perhaps will choose a living room interior design based on golden ornaments. the shiny, golden Christmas tree and the magic and warm created by the fireplace will make of this living room a charming place which will remind you of those old Christmas times when people set around their fireplace and enjoying the beauty of this holiday.

There is also a sweet variant of a living room interior design based on the combination of white and pink. Girls are usually enchanted by these sweet accents. If you add a little bit of pink on your coach, a pink ribbon for the wreath or use some pink Christmas balls for some small white feather trees, you may get a sweet room as a Christmas candy.

Those who have already a red living room interior can play with some other red items which can complete their traditional scheme of colors.

Lenox Flight Collection Modern Dish

I am not a huge fan o vintage items, but every once in a while I dare visit one or two vintage shops in order to see if there is anything unusual or that catches my attention. And sometimes I do. For example now I have just visited this virtual vintage shop – Etsy – where you can find many unique things. ANd I found this amazing item – the Lenox Flight Collection Modern Dish. Apparently the dish is no longer manufactured, so you can find it only in vintage shops, but I can tell you it is worth the trouble.

This item is a kind of an interestingly shaped porcelain dish that has a very nice and shiny 22 K gold trim. It is totally white and with irregular margins and that allows you to use it for different purposes. You can use it as a serving dish and in this case you can place fruit, cakes and some other similar items on it.

Or maybe you can use it as an ashtray and in this case the smokers will find the two side “wings” really useful, as you can rest the cigarettes there. You can keep the candy there or maybe the change in your pockets or you can give it any use you can think of. It is nice , delicate and beautiful and you can have it for just $15.

Brush Vase

If you paint at least once in a while for fun or just for helping your kids with his Art project then you know you keep all the brushes in one place, usually a glass that is specially reserved for the brushes. This way you know where to look for them next time you want to paint. But the designer Harry Allen had an even better idea: you don’t you keep the paint brushes in a glass that tells you what you should store in? That is because this special glass is made of many models of paint brushes glued together. He used Resin and Marble to make this project and obtain a great result in my opinion.

But because painting is not so ordinary the designer thought it would be a good idea to give this item another use, too, so he inserted a normal glass inside. That is for the case when you want to use the paint brush holder as a Brush Vase, so the glass will keep the water inside. It is an unusual flower vase, but it is at least interesting. It is not very big, but just the right size for holding normal flower bunches. You can purchase the vase now from Areaware for $75.

Double X Metal Vase

We all have a small holiday for Christmas and this is the time when we spend more time at home, especially in the living room. And we all want to make out homes as nice as beautiful, so we pay much attention to accessories because they are, after all, the ones that give your house personality and style. This Double X Metal Vase from Modani is great because it can be used as an accessory in itself, without having to fill it with flowers. It looks like an over sized metallic X sign that stands on your living room coffee table.

The vase is made of polished stainless steel and is empty on the inside, so you can fill it with water and keep flowers there. My advice is to use mainly simple flowers with a small number of leaves because they are better valued if they look this way. And they will not cover the vase, which looks amazing and should not be overlooked. So fill this futuristic vase with exotic flowers and enjoy its look by placing it somewhere in the center of the room, like the mantlepiece or the table or even on some lower shelves. The item is available now in the Modani online store for $39.
