by Fred Victor

Without a doubt, most of us would consider Christmas tree as the centerpiece of whether living room or bedroom during the Christmas season. However, the absence of other attractive Christmas elements would not make the entire room vibrant and fun-filled the festive Christmas spirit. For instance, Christmas bells and balls are amongst the top Christmas decorative elements.

ONE
Add a dash of Christmas colour by using red or white coloured bed sheet set. Putting more colours by adding pillows and decorative cushions.

TWO
Tie a red or white ribbon around a tall, slim drinking glass. Fill the glass with candy canes and display on a shelf or side table.

THREE
Add colour to your bedroom with vases of red and white flowers. Use roses, carnations etc.

FOUR
Remove your favourite pictures from their frames. Wrap the frames with red or white ribbons.

FIVE
Hang silver and gold garlands over closet doors.

SIX
Tie bows around door knobs. One of the most simple Christmas decorations.

SEVEN
Dress up your own Christmas tree, hang small Christmas ornaments on them. Save your old Christmas cards and cut out the images from them. You can either attach ribbon right to the cutouts, or hang the entire card on your Christmas tree.

EIGHT
Fill baskets with candies and chocolates, wrap unused boxes with Christmas present wrapping papers and place them under your bedroom Christmas tree.

NINE
Decorate your dressing table and mirror with red or white candles or ribbons.

Tips to Colour Your Home

In a world where thousands of colours can be chosen from, choosing colour (whether paint or colour of your home furnishings) for each segment of your home should be a fun; however, you should seriously consider every colour and its association before putting on as colour affect moods and emotions for those who stay in the space that you have created.

Colour brings life into every inch of your house. For instance, it can warm (yellow colour) or cool (white colour), calm (blue colour) or excite (red colour) you. What’s more, cleverly use of colour can make your small bedroom looks bigger, why not?

Begin at the Beginning
Determine what features or existing finishes in the room you would consider permanent. Consider the wardrobes, for example, if the wood of your bedroom wardrobes has a red undertone, make sure the paint or decoration colour you choose works well with that hue.

Determine the Colour Scheme
Consider the proportions of different colour that you wish to use carefully. One colour should always dominate a colour scheme. A scheme that always works well is to have two thirds of the room done in one colour and the other third in another colour. You should avoid using two colours of the same strength and intensity.

Emphasize or Minimize
Colour of your paint or furnishings can emphasize certain features while minimizing others. A long narrow room will look wider if you use a slightly darker colour on the shorter walls and a lighter colour on the longer walls. To give a big room a more intimate feel, decorate the walls in colours that advance toward you, such as red, gold, orange and brown. To help a small room seem larger, paint and also decorate the walls in colours that make them appear to recede, such as white, blue or violet colour.

Common Colour and its Associations

Red
Love, life, power, heat, roses, strength, sex, cherries, blood, Christmas, danger, excitement

Blue
Sky, freshness, sea, intelligence, birds, heaven, jeans, cold, mountains, ducks

Yellow
Sunshine, ducklings, brightness, vigour, bananas, gold, canaries, the moon, lemons

Green
Ecology, planet, growth, leaves, wisdom, olives, avocados, cool, calm, sea

Black
Darkness, mysteries, winter, discipline, negatives, crows, patent-leather, seals

White
Snow, weddings, holiness, brilliance, light, piano keys, daisies, kittens

Gold
Wealth, honour, glamour, marriage, jewelries, good-luck, sun, luxury

Pink
Girly, passion, feminine, strawberries, piglets, flowers, clouds, lipstick, celebrations

Purple
Luxury, passion, grapes, heather, sexy, feminine, crown chakra, mourning, imagination, psychics

Brown
Wood, timber, dogs, earth, comfort, nuts, chocolate, velvet, coffee, horses

Kid’s Room Decorating Ideas from Eastern Decorator

Decorating your kid’s room can be fun and it doesn’t need to be expensive. The key is to focus on fun, personal style and preferred cartoon character like Hello Kitty, Superman and so on.

Kids’ bedrooms are more than just a place to sleep; they usually share a lot in common such as vibrant colours with their favourite cartoon characters on bed sheets, walls and furniture, fun shapes, cute features, playful pieces, interesting stuffs and fun patterns. So their rooms are probably the most difficult to decorate. The parents need to be sure that the room is safe and child-friendly, with functional and easy to use pieces and with a beautiful theme.

Pick a Theme
Simply put, selecting your kid’s preferred theme (can be derived from his/her preferred cartoon character) to coordinate with a subject matter gives you a unifying focal point for all the room’s parts. And selecting a subject (e.g. play area, study area, shelf, cabinet etc.) that excites and conjures up your kid’s creativeness will supply them unending excitement and satisfaction.

Add Colour
Painting is one of the least expensive ways of decorating your kid’s rooms. However, it doesn’t necessarily need to paint all the walls. All you need is to create an accent wall, and repaint in a different colour way. Other avenues can be considered like the bedroom door in a bright colour or the window frames in of pink colour.

Repaint Furniture
Consider repainting some of your subject (old furniture) such as dresser drawers, table, book shelves, and chairs etc. that incorporate the bedroom theme. Other types of furniture can be added later if you have spare cash, but for the meantime it is best to concentrate on getting necessary items first.

Here’s some cartoon characters for you to consider. Let’s get started to design a lovely bedroom for your kids. Have fun ;-)

Luxury Hotel-like Bedroom Décor Ideas


Have you ever dreamed of having a bedroom as luxurious as that of the 5-star hotels? Creating a luxurious and stylish bedroom isn’t as easy as it sounds because you need to look into each and every detail of your bedroom to get a luxury hotel bedroom décor. We’ve gathered some pictures of our collections on luxurious bedroom designs. Let’s have some fun with your bedroom by applying some ideas, you’ll make it tastes like a hotel.

Step 1
Select a Hotel’s Theme
When designing a hotel guest room, hotels usually develop a color palette and scheme that fits with their themes or locations e.g. the garden, golf course, desert or beach etc.).
This applies to yours – you need to develop a “theme” for your bedroom as it’s the place which reflects your taste and style. Sounds great huh?

Step2
Decorate Your Bed
Earth-tone, consistent white  and plain are the core elements that most hotels have in common.
Bed is the prominent area as the colour of a hotel room is brought up by the bedspreads, pillows and other bedding accessories – either matching or coordinating curtains, which are generally always in earth-tone colours.

You can consider of what hotel rooms share another common element of having quality, commercial grade furnishings and carpet, quality room-darkening draperies and bedspreads and the finest linens. Hotel towels and washcloths are consistently white and clean.

Buying quality products for your own home is often less costly in the long run because quality products are more durable and last much longer than sub-standard merchandise. For instance, cheap towels often fray after their very first encounter with a washing machine. But, high quality towels often continue to look fluffy and new even after 40-50 washings.

Step3
Space Up Your Bedroom
Most hotels often take a small space and create a flexible place for the guest for various activities.
Simply space up your bedroom according to your desired activities that you want to perform besides sleeping. For instance, you can consider adding a (1) snack area with mini refrigerator, (2) executive working table and chair, or (3) small reading area.

Step4
Snacks Area
Here’s an area where guests can have their food, drinks and snacks.  
Simply transform a corner of your bedroom for your food and beverage by adding a chair or two plus a small table. It’s a better idea than having to go to the kitchen for a refreshing beverage or snack while watching movie.

Step5
Light It Up
Some techniques are being used in 5-Star hotels.
Not necessary all techniques required, but you can apply some recommended ideas by installing (1) dimmer control on your every switch, (2) three-way switch bedside lamp, or (3) reading lights at your snacks or reading area.

Step6
Personalize Your Room
Most hotel rooms feature local art and interest magazines so their guests feel the connection with the city that they are visiting.
As for your case, you can consider displaying some of your favourite painting, antique items, books etc. so that you’ll feel connected.

Easy Bedroom Decorating Ideas


It’s pretty easy – simply adding or re-locating your existing items that you probably already have. It’s possible to give your bedroom a fresh and new look.

Colour
Color plays a major role in decor. For instance, cool blue and green colours give the room a restful atmosphere. By keeping wall colors neutral, you will have sense of space in decor with furniture and accessories. Let’s try adding something with mix and match patterns in bed linens, draperies and rugs.

Mix and match is a good strategy to employ with – by installing an entire matched bedroom suite with matched linens and draperies will make your bedroom look more stunning!

Lighting
Lighting is important, but not overhead lighting as it could be harsh. Let’s try adding table lamps on side tables by the bed and/or on your dressing table. Table lamps allow greater light when you're reading or working on crafts and lower light for general relaxing. Candles are considerable as they provide a warm glow in the bedroom.

No Overstuff
Don’t ever overstuff your bedroom. Let’s try keeping your furnishings to a minimum level – you’d create a more spacious atmosphere. Besides, placing a mirror on a wall can create the illusion of space too.

Let’s take a look at some cool combinations herein ;-)


The green of the walls, the dark wood accent furniture pieces, and the natural linen fabric – a cool combination to give this bedroom a Zen-like design quality. Though the side tables are not the same, they have a similar visual weight which creates balance.


This bedroom design has a cool mixture of modern and traditional elements. The floor, walls and bedding have been done in neutral colours while dark colour drapes contrast beautifully with the light toned floor. The bed and loveseat have traditional lines.

Adding a little classy feel to your bathroom doesn’t cost you much; you can actually make a difference. Now, you can save money by purchasing inexpensive quality towels and garnishing them to match your bathroom décor ideas by placing them in a layered arrangement on towel rack or hanging them on a towel bar!

Tips 1. As a rule of thumb, the bath towel should be at the base, the hand towel and face towel to be laid over the bath towel with smaller measurements for proportion.

Tips 2. Choose a quality but inexpensive bath towel, hand towel and face towel by CANNON® & ELLE® in a color that matches your bathroom décor.

Tips 3. Get a decorative fabric. A nice heavy and luxurious CANNON® MicroCotton® towel will look style and luxury; you may also choose a nice contrasting fabric. The fashionable and trendy coloured ELLE® towels will fill your bathroom with taste of gladness.  

Tips 4. Folding decorative towels will be another aspect for your attention. You may simply stack your decorative towels on towel rack at the corner of the room by layering them artistically or folding them in shapes on the towel rack or bar. The colour combination of towels can be taken into account particularly when you are using ELLE® towels for you and your love ones.

For instance, as shown in the illustration, if you are stacking a couple of ELLE® red towels with a colourful fresh ELLE® orange towel may look extremely stunning! What if a bottle of shampoo or soap is placed on top of your decorative towels? Doesn’t it sound classy?

Tips 5. Steam press the towel edges, according to your preference, to hold the shape if you would like when hanging the towels on the bar.

The beautifully decorated towels are indeed a mark of class and luxury to your bathroom that can make you, your love ones and your guests feel so special.

What Makes A Good Bed Sheet?

September 26, 2010
By Fred Victor

As Premium Brands Business Unit (PBBU) suggests, the TWO significant elements that determine a quality bed sheet – (1) the cotton; and (2) the thread count. The latter determines your bed sheet feels like a “gunny sack” or a “cloud”. 

The Cotton. As a general rule of thumb, a good quality bed sheet should be those made of 100% cotton. Cotton sheets which are made of natural fibers allow more air movement, thus they do not trap the heat on top of those snuggled in for a good night’s rest.

Cottons are generally classified into four main types with many categories in each type. Such classifications are based on appearance and staple length (e.g. extra-long, long, medium and short) – the longer the staple, the finer the fabric and the more durable the bed sheet will be. With fibers at around 7/8” to ¼” long is not considered as good cotton.

Good cotton like Egyptian cotton and Supima cotton types, which are 100% natural cotton, has long staple length around 1 1/2" – 1 3/8” known for its luxurious softness. The longer the fiber, the more luxurious and durable the grade of cotton, soft to feel. 

The Thread Count. Thread Count is the number of threads per square centimeter. The higher the thread count, the finer the quality of the sheet.

In sum, be on the lookout for bed sheet made of 100% cotton which has at least 250-thread count for your sweet and good night sleep.
