A Cosy living room – How to get it right
A cosy living room is something we all want. Somewhere with a comfortable sofa where we can cuddle with our loved ones, a soft, gentle throw we can cover ourself with if we see a scary spider and a good quality candle with a pleasant smell which can help create a mystic atmosphere in the evening… These days, it seems, we need a cosy living room more than ever. During the day, It serves as a playground, classroom, office, conference room and everything in between. In the evening, it will change to a posh bar or a cinema (or just a place where an exhausted parent or two can stare…

E-design and How does it work?
What is e-design? Virtual design? Online interior design? Remote design service? All these different names describe the design service which can be delivered anywhere from everywhere, thanks to modern technology and the internet. It has been several years since e-design started. I did my first virtual design in 2008! I lived in Malta and my mum’s friend needed help with her one-bedroom flat in the Czech Republic.

The holistic interior design can help us with all of these. That is why we need to think more about our homes and work areas, especially if we spend most of our time indoors. Both of these areas contribute to our physical and psychological health, so how we can create areas which actually improve our lives?

Why do you really need a nice home?
I remember when I put the two picture frames in our bedroom… At that time we still lived in Malta (and actually on a ‘building site’). My husband was working like mad, trying to finish our house, but we weren’t happy. Our energy was very low and the excitement of living in our own house near the sea was leaving us. I knew I just had to do something to make our house our home (or at least one room). That’s why I set up the pictures in our bedroom. The frames matched our curtains and the pics showed old film stars having fun. My husband was surprised by how…
