Here is a list of the houseplants you can actually keep alive with minimal effort!   [...]

In this day and age space is a valuable commodity. We end up owning more than we have space for. With property sizes decreasing, our living spaces become more and more cluttered. What do we do about this, though? We cant exactly build a new room every time we run out of space. Take a look at some of these cool inventions and space-saving tricks. [...]

We all have an idea of what our perfect home would look like. Usually, huge properties and multi-storey mansions come to mind. Does the idea of having your own personal bowling alley interest you?

With the end of January quickly approaching, most of us are back into the swing of the new year. Some of us, however, may not quite be there yet.  Last year almost everyone made some form of list of their new year’s resolutions for 2016. “To lose weight”, “To travel more”, “To spend less time on electronic devices” were a few [...]

We are always fascinated by architecture and just what can be created by the genius minds of architects around the world. The Al Bahr Towers, engineered by ARUP and designed by Aedas Architects, is no exception. This amazing design has won numerous awards, including the CTBUH Innovation Award and was a finalist in the Best Tall Building Middle East and Africa.     The towers are [...]

We are all for a beautifully designed room.  While there are many elements that make up an interior, we can see why wall coverings should be given more attention when it comes to designing and decorating a room.
