White Couch Makeover

Give different looks to your living room by simply changing the cushions on the couch and add a statement wall-art  for the wonderful makeover!

To give your living area a fresh new look is not as difficult as it seems. The idea is a simple 2 step process: 1. Change your wall look by adding a statement wall-art and 2. Throw in cushions to match the wall-art with a similar color scheme & theme.

 That’s about it. With basic changes a whole new look can be achieved. Taking this idea ahead, we have created 3 different looks for a plain, white couch affront a plain, white wall.

Makeover 1: Monochromatic Look

Various shades of the same hue look splendid together. Whites-greys-blacks: layer them to give a gorgeous feel to your living space. On the white wall add typographical frames laid out in an asymmetric fashion. To compliment the wall, put chevron-printed black & white cushions on either sides of the couch, thus, completing the look.

 Makeover 2: Industrial Look

A large metallic, industrial wall piece catches all the attention. The heavy gear + clock sculpture is balanced with a delicate gold wallpaper. On the couch add cushions in gold and copper. We personally love the ‘roman numerical gold cushion’.

Makeover 3: Jeweled Look

Bring in some rich tones to your room by adding a jeweled wall art master-piece. The larger the better! Pair the wall with cushions in contrasting silk cushions. The simple whites is instantaneously transformed to a plush, elegant living space.

So, as I mentioned earlier, just add a statement wall art and match up with some trendy cushions – the simplest way to give your living room a wow makeover!

The Industrial Illumination

An unused & rusted machine, processed into a funky industrial lamp

The Industrial Revolution in the 18^th century, transformed human lives as it helped transition hand production methods to machinery manufacturing. Till today, we reap the fruits of those years, when great men achieved great feats.

Taking a leaf out of this important phase of history, we decided to create an industrial decor revolution of our own.

An unused, rusted, hand operated bottle capping machine became our source of inspiration. The machine in itself had this super funky look – with a turn-wheel at top, exposed gears and solid iron fixtures.

We added two bulbs facing each other – lower one on the base where the erstwhile bottles would stand and a hanging bulb suspended from top where the capping mechanism would take place. Then all we were left with was to wire up the bulb connections to one single plug. And our industrialization process was done.

Switch on the bulbs and we get a quirky industrial illumination of our own.

As they say – “history always repeats itself!”

To infuse some industrial elements in our homes is a rather easy task. Use old home machines like a mixer or sewing machine or an old camera and give it a paint job or simply just add a bulb to it. An eye-catching décor element is all ready.
