Nice style

I like this crochet rug with the more modern bedside tables and accessories around.

I like this long white storage shelf and TV stand with the more traditional rug on the floor.

White is so clean and crisp, it reduces the appearance of clutter and makes a house look more modern.

Colour patch

Super great idea you could use paint swatches collected from hardware stores to make this, but I believe this one is made of small scraps of fabric.

Bathroom tiles

Bathrooms are really difficult to decorate and I rarely like bathrooms specifically they just are not designed to be attractive. As the main part of the bathroom is really the tiled walls and fixtures. Once a bathroom is in there is no changing with out a great expense.

I like these tiles although a little old school they are white which is classic but also an unusual shape, rather than the modern square style they are rectangular.

How about this idea no wall tiles at all, you would need to be careful to use an extremely duriable paint on your walls.

Super idea open plan and only one wall of tiles, the bath tub is really modern and fancy.

Table top and legs

I like this new style where the table top and legs come completely separate or at least don't look like they come from the same place.

Here is a David Hardwick of Hardwick & Cesko design inspired by doolies, it looks so cute together. Now I want one just like this but inspired by Indian hand craft on top with the same bottom.

Alternate Christmas trees

This book shelf style Christmas tree is great fun, you can use the shelves to hold gifts, only issue would be storing it when it's not the holiday season.

Now another book shelf idea is using your existing book shelf to create the image of a Christmas tree by leaning your books.

Driftwood tree

Fun table centre piece you could hang ginger bread christmas decorations or other sweet treats on.

You can buy this drift wood tree at devondriftwood designs, this shop also has a large variety of decorative indoor pieces made from driftwood. Really nice site to explore.

You could make this tree from drift wood or outdoor sticks you find around the place.

This is a roof hanging christmas tree which you could use year round as a hanging decoration outside on the patio.

Here is a how to on how you can make your own drift wood tree, looks easy enough.

You can buy this drift wood tree from here.

Ooo i really like this one, it would be difficult to find such flat peices of wood you would need to buy this one from fusion home store.

Here is anotheryou could make that would be rather space saving when not christmas time as it is flat.

Laundry

{Image from real living}

The laundry is one of those areas like the bathroom that it is difficult to keep looking homely and more then just functional. But above is one that also looks attractive I believe they have done it by using plants and that fun hanging ladder.

Sticker christmas tree

{Image from deals2u}

Super great idea for a christmas tree, especially if you are short on space, you can buy this sticker tree here.

{Image from mooo}

You can buy these wall stickers from here. The great thing about these ones is that you can use them all year round as you don't need to put them in a christmas tree shape.

Front door decorating

This looks like a super fun way of decorating your door at christmas time.

Alive christams tree

A great alternative to a christmas tree is to use an ordiary house plant just position it in a more central spot in the house and add you favourite christmas decorations.

Bean bag

Bean bags make a house look comfortable and welcoming, these are an unusual design and would be alot of fun to make as the instructions are in a different language.
