Unfortunately, these are the times. Tier 3, Tier 4, national lockdown, etc. without end. More and more small businesses will move from crowded office centres to the privacy of their own home. I want to begin by explaining the subtle difference between a cabinet and a home office. The origins of the office go back hundreds of years. Reserved for the master of the home, it was his asylum, setting the boundaries of his male world. It was theoretically a place of mental work, but above all, it was an exposition of trophies (books, antlers, or collections of weapons), which helped to build a social position. To this day, having a cabinet means a certain prestige. It is not associated with a place of paid work, perhaps with the exception of writers, philosophers or academics, but it serves the purpose of contemplation and isolation from domestic matters. It most often appears in residences, villas, multi-metre houses, where one can afford the luxury of a room that is not very everyday. A home office is an invention of the modern world. It means a place of daily, full-time or evening work, often as a second job or after hours. Sometimes it requires the possibility of accepting external supplicants. This model generates a completely different approach in its arrangement. Often the compulsion to create it means giving up other functions of home life. A corner is torn from the surface of the living room, stolen from the bedroom angle, or taken out

Tamara von Nayhauss, star of German television, invited us to her family home to discover the true magic of Christmas together with the RusticModernFurniture brand. Christmas climate in a few steps The long table shimmers with elegant shades of silver and white. In addition, a lot of delicate candlelight and a charming decoration with silver deer in the main role. – I love it when the house feels like it’s hugging me during Advent! I like to decorate the whole house with candles, soft cushions with the addition of festive, classic red and glittering glitter,” says Tamara. A living Christmas tree dressed in red ornaments The Christmas tree is not big, although the room would allow it – it is simply that Tamara prefers a tree that comes from sustainable, organic farming. As with decoration, Tamara remains true to tradition when it comes to invitations as well and always sends handwritten greeting cards to her relatives and friends. She likes to sit down comfortably at her desk in the home library. The library, just like the whole house, is beautifully decorated with lots of Christmas decorations. There are so many decorations that Tamara keeps these ornaments in as many as eight huge boxes outside the Christmas season. Christmas table decoration with tableware and chandeliers According to Tamara, Christmas colours are classics – red, green, white and silver. Here, everything has been chosen to make up for tradition. All year-round, the presenter waits impatiently to unpack all the decorations during Advent

The years 2020 and 2021 will bring many bold inspirations – originality comes first! Below we present the most important interior design trends that prevail in the interior design of detached houses. More nature in interiors! The trend of 2020 and subsequent seasons! Both manufacturers of the furniture industry and interior designers unanimously recognise that this year is the beginning of a change in approach to interior design and furnishing. This is why design based on floral or natural materials is an important trend. Introducing these elements into an interior will – according to the designers – strengthen the bond between man and nature. Therefore, in modern interior design, first of all, the rooms are very open to the garden (by means of large glazing and by resigning from curtains or roller blinds), there are real wooden planks on the floors, which often also

Although we are tied to the traditional Christmas at the family table, surely each of us has thought about going to some charming hut somewhere deep in the forest at least once. Christmas in a rustic style – decoration of the house for Christmas. But what is attractive in such surroundings? Certainly peace and quiet, but also, a unique, idyllic atmosphere that accompanies Christmas in such a charming environment. Of course, we do not have to leave the city right away for our celebration to be magical too. It is much easier to arrange your own Christmas in a rustic style. How to do it? Rustic style holidays – charming accessories that will create an atmosphere Admittedly, it would be difficult for us to turn our flat in the city centre into a charming wooden hut. But a radical redevelopment is not necessary to create a unique and cosy atmosphere for Christmas. For this to happen, we only need a few decorative details that will change the interior. What will we need? Because the rustic style is very much in tune with nature, the best motifs will be those that relate to nature, as well as to the winter aura. A trip to the forest (as if to a natural shop) from where we will bring cones, fir or pine twigs, as well as short sticks that can be used to make our own Christmas tree decorations or other Christmas decorations, maybe a good idea. Rustic style Christmas is very

Furniture refurbishment is a way to give beautiful but already slightly damaged objects a second life. Both souvenirs from our ancestors and those bought for little money at a flea market will have a chance to enjoy our eyes again and serve us for many years. What should a step-by-step renovation of furniture look like? Furniture renovation – really worth it A squeaky grandmother’s wardrobe, a wooden bed frame with numerous splinters of varnish or a table whose top bears traces of kitchen work and children’s games – none of this furniture deserved to be found in a rubbish dump. First of all, the history with which they are connected should be respected, secondly – currently produced wooden furniture is very expensive, so renovating the old one is simply a saving. With a little care and commitment, we can make the damaged surface shine like new. Renovating furniture could seem like a long and complicated process – in fact, it is not a task that can overwhelm an adult – especially in view of the benefits that can be gained from it. It is enough to thoroughly clean the furniture, fill in small cavities on the surface with special preparation and protect it properly. Renovating furniture – where to start Renovation of furniture should take place in several stages. To begin with, we must ensure that the surface of the furniture is properly prepared. We remove old coatings, i.e. paints, stains, varnishes and all kinds of contamination. If the coatings

We usually buy a dining room table for years. If you care about its durability, as well as its composition and not overwhelming, pay attention first of all to its size, but also to its shape and the material it is made of. All of these factors are of great importance. What dining table? Match your furniture to the size of the room! The answer to the question of which dining room table to choose is not so obvious. In the beginning, it’s worth measuring the space we have at our disposal and deciding what style should dominate our dining room.  The shape of the table will also determine the final functionality of the whole interior, so it is of great importance. What should you decide on? Round table It is a piece of furniture that looks good mainly in larger rooms – mainly because it should be placed in the central part of the dining room. It does not look very good when placed e.g. against a wall. If you’re wondering which dining room table to choose, remember the unquestionable recommendation of around one – each of the people sitting at it has an equally important and comfortable place. The streamlined shape makes this table safer for children too. Rectangular or square table It fits in both smaller and larger rooms. It looks good when placed in the central part of the dining room and against the wall. It is suitable for both dining and working. However, not every

The fashion for vintage furniture is still going on, which is connected with the growing interest in second-hand furniture. Especially popular are old rustic tables, which are ideal for bold arrangements with modern or colourful chairs. However, before we put an old table into a flat, it is worth refreshing it, getting rid of not only a layer of long-lasting dirt but also pests and peeling paint or varnish. How to renovate an old wooden table made of plywood, veneered or covered with natural veneer? We present a step-by-step guide to renovating a table. How to renovate an old wooden table? There are two ways to refresh your wooden furniture. The first, the classic one involves taking an old layer of paint or varnish off the furniture and impregnating the wood with preservatives that do not cover the grain drawing. Varnish, wax or wood oil, for example, are best suited for this role. However, painting is becoming more and more popular, ensuring maximum coverage of individual wooden elements of a piece of furniture or even the entire table surface. Chalk or phthalic paints are most often used for such renovations. Although the final effect is diametrically different, in both cases the order of work is identical. Step 1: Preparation for starting the work Before you start renovating an old table, it is worthwhile to prepare the workplace and appropriate tools and preservatives for wood. It is extremely important to carry out renovation in a place where there is a constant

Rustic style is one of the most popular interior design ideas. Its character brings to mind a cottage in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but close to nature. There is no rule about where it can be used – the rural style can be used in single-family houses and block of flats. It is most authentic in the countryside and old houses. One of the rooms that most often use this kind of arrangement is the kitchen. Rustic style: characteristic elements There are some elements that define the rustic style from the beginning. The kitchen will be decorated according to its assumptions, so it will be full of wood. Various furniture handles and parts of kitchen equipment can also be made of metal. In the rural style, it is also about making everything look older than it really is, because it gives the interior the right atmosphere, which makes the arrangement very personal. A rustic-style kitchen makes a lot of use of what nature has given us. The interior can therefore turn out to be quite raw, although elements such as bouquets of dried flowers or wicker baskets bring a bit of warmth to it.  It is important to keep it simple. There is also no need to avoid imperfections – the boards used to create furniture or lining walls and floors can have irregularities, knots and cracks. Rustic style kitchen: furniture A rustic kitchen must be equipped with suitable furniture. They are usually

When choosing furniture for our homes, we are guided not only by its functionality but also by its aesthetic values. After all, we want the furniture, apart from its main function, to become an ornament of the whole interior – not only immediately after its purchase but for many years to come. Keeping them in good condition is especially important when we decide to invest in wooden furniture.   Deciding to use solid wood furniture in our design, we gain a chance to completely change the character of each room. Such elements as nothing else have the ability to give the interior elegance and unique style. However, this effect can destroy dirt and damage visible on wood and disturb its natural beauty. Fortunately, such a risk can be very easily reduced to a minimum, it is enough to use appropriate methods of maintenance.   Regular cleaning of wooden furniture and the use of appropriate techniques and agents to take care of the surface of the wood will make its beautiful appearance delight both us and all our guests for many years to come. Natural wood requires a completely different approach than other materials, so universal solutions will not work here. So what should you know about taking care of wooden furniture?   WHAT KIND OF WOOD IS MOST OFTEN USED TO MAKE FURNITURE?   Nowadays, a huge number of species of trees are used in the production of furniture – however, not every type of wood offers the same. We

The charm of wood in home arrangements is something that is difficult to pass by indifferently. It works perfectly in Scandinavian, modern and rustic style, giving the interiors the warmth we so much need on long winter evenings. It will beautifully decorate the living room, enliven the kitchen and make the bathroom decor seem more sophisticated. For years we have been delighted with Scandinavian arrangements because apart from simplicity they emanate cosiness, desired at home. This atmosphere is created by wood – it is worth to use it not only on the floor, in windows and doors, but also in accessories that will give the room a completely different dimension. Wood in the home in its natural form Wood in the house has many uses: an oak table, chairs, a pine dressing table, various photo frames, original newspapers, lamps with wooden legs or the most popular furniture and floors in interiors. All these elements can be purchased in almost any shade or you can give them your dream colour. However, before we do that, let’s consider how to preserve the naturalness of wood because it will perfectly match any type of arrangement. Natural wood looks particularly good in modern, slightly raw arrangements, giving them a specific charm. A good example is a hall, which nowadays becomes not only a visually attractive room but also gains in functionality. A kitchen finished with wood The arrangement of the kitchen and dining room can be a challenge, especially if we want to reconcile
