Furniture manufacturing for a retail showroom in Seychelles

Furniture manufacturing for a retail showroom in Seychelles.

We manufactured custom-made furnishings for a procurement hospitality showroom in Seychelles island.

We manufactured bespoke furniture for a high-end design showroom. The concept was to create a range of reclaimed teak and copper items with an elegant look. We tried to find a balance. We mixed antique hand-carved furniture with modern functional items. This showroom will transport their customers into a new world. The nice interior design will set apart the clients who enter the showroom. The decor is warm and inviting for the visitors. We combined quality materials with traditional wood working techniques. We used solid teak with natural copper and drift woods with hand carved timbers. We manufactured large-scale bookcases, furniture with a natural stain or an antique finish. The result is aspirational and romantic.
We kept the basic design principles in mind. Consistency is key. We work hard so the furniture we manufacture will look great from any side. We pay attention to the back as much as we do to the front of the items we create. We want to inspire interior designers to create unique experiences for their customers. This is why we manufacture fine furniture, lighting, and decorative accessories. We care about the details. The result should be beautiful and carry a specific mood and vibe.

Custom-made furniture manufacturing for a villa in Martinique

Custom-made furniture manufacturing for a villa in Martinique.

We manufactured bespoke furniture and home decor accessories for a house in the Caribbean island.

Tropical home decor is both exotic and trendy. People love the idea of creating an oasis at home. For this house is Martinique, the owner asked us to manufacture a broad range of furniture. From a Scandinavian couch set to reclaimed teak items, we did a lot of different furnishings. We manufactured a variety of furnishings. We focussed on elegant and timeless pieces for this tropical interior. The idea was to create a high-end yet relaxed atmosphere. Tropical interior design should value comfort, ease and utility. The style is eclectic. The result looks like a mix and match selection you would expect on an island. We used a lot of natural shapes and finishing, to enhance the beauty of the items. From suar wood to reclaimed teak to German synthetic rattan, we selected beautiful and raw materials. The result is a warm and soothing home decor. We celebrated natural elements with genuine reclaimed teak boats from Indonesia. We turned the traditional Indonesian canoes into book racks. As for the wood stains, we used light and bright hues. We wanted to match the natural colors of the environment. The blue sky combines well with the natural wooden tones. We also included natural elements such rattan, wicker and copper. For the upholstery, we used colorful fabrics. We used red linens and brown velvets to cover the couches and sofas. Hope you will enjoy discovering the tropical decor as much as we did manufacturing the furniture.

Check our 2019 interior design forecast to inspire your next home makeover.

GO GREEN.

Green is a bold interior design choice with many benefits.

Green represents so many things, from health to nature.
As a paint color, green is a daring color. It’s a far cry from standard common neutral colors like white and beige. Pantone listed green as its 2017 color of the year. In 2019, green will receive the attention it deserves. After the social and political strifes of 2018, 2019 is all about being calm and going back to Nature. If gracing the walls with green is too big of a leap, aim for green furniture and decor. Of course, there is always the usual greenery in the form of plants. For more details, learn how to chose the right color for your living room.
Green -and especially bright green- is all about balance and purity.

USE GENUINE MATERIALS… OR NOT.

Go for the real thing with genuine materials such as hardwoods.

Get rid of the synthetic materials… or not.
2019 is all about genuine materials. From solid hardwood floors to natural rattan rug. Genuine materials are becoming a bigger trend. There is a good reason for that. After decades of cheap faux materials, home decor lovers want to go back to the real deal. A real wood ceiling beam, for instance, won’t fall apart like a faux wood. Yet we should not forget that technology is improving everyday. New faux finishes improve every day. Synthetic water hyacinth evolved and now looks as nice as the real one. The result even baffle experts. Some faux materials are superiors to their genuine counterparts. Engineered quartz is better than real quartz. It can better withstand heat and acidic elements.
Nothing can replace the smell touch and smell of genuine leather. Yet technology allow some faux materials to match the look and quality of genuine ones.

ROCK NAVY BLUE.

Navy blue decors are cozy, warm and inviting.

Navy blue is gaining a lot of traction.
Green isn’t the only trending color. In 2019, many homeowners will select Navy blue as a mild alternative to black. Navy blue pairs well with many other color schemes. It allow people to create gorgeous tone-on-tone color schemes. You can combine Navy and existing lighter blue for a stunning result. Navy blue has an advantage over black. You can add it as the dark color of your decor. Unlike black, Navy blue is not making the room feel smaller.
Navy blue will make a big come back in 2019.

AIM FOR ARTISANAL.

Introduce handicrafts home accessories to create an artisanal look.

For the last couple of years, anything DIY is trendy.
We all love homemade decor and handmade creations. In 2019, home decor aficionados will stay away from mass-productions. More homeowners will opt for decor made by a professional craftsman. Pottery jars, natural rattan baskets or leather wall decor are good examples.
Woodworking, glass blowing or handmade upholstery will be a big 2019 design trend.

MIX METALS.

Brass and metals accessories give a sparking touch to your home decor.

Metal brings much more than an industrial vibe.
Mixing and matching metal elements in your decor will create stunning results. You can combine a brass kitchen faucet with a nickel cabinet. For a sleek design, add a large copper vase or oil-rubbed bronze pendant lights.
Consider metal finishes such as white gold and rose gold.

LOVE THE EARTHY LOOK.

The earthy look mixes reddish and brownish tones for a relaxing vibe.

Incorporate elements that you would expect to find outdoors.
Cork and terracotta are two examples that create an earthy look. Terracotta is great for creating a rustic and eclectic vibe. Earthy tones looks even better with matte finish.
Tiki culture will most likely see a popularity rise in 2019. People enjoy the exotic vibe of the Polynesian culture. The earthy look is a great way to create an old island decor. Use the earthy designs in your patio and garden. D
Don’t be afraid to use earthy colors for your indoor makeover.

CHECK THE MINIMALIST DESIGN.

The minimalist interior design keeps the essentials and reduce clutter.

A minimalist design is goes well with a luxury decor.
Interior designers create a luxury look by using lavish furnishings in large decors. Luxury and minimalism go hand-in-hand. Creating a minimalist decor is not expensive. In an era where more people live in appartements, saving money is welcome. Not everybody has large rooms available or can afford luxury furnishings. Minimalism is not only for rich people. There is a trick. Creating a minimalist decor is not always expensive. In 2019, more people will use functional items and de-clutter their rooms. Use furniture and storage that doubles as decor. Keep only the home accessories items you need. Look for sofas with hidden storage or a bed with underneath drawers.
Double-function furniture will become trendier in 2019.

USE MARBLE WALLPAPERS.

Marble wallpapers allow you to create a premium decorating with a tight budget.

Marble is a staple element of a luxurious home.
Cladding your walls and floors in marble may is not the kind of ideas your banker likes. Great news: you can achieve the same look at a fraction of the cost. Use wallpaper with a marble design! Marble wallpaper is very popular in Pinterest. You will find marble wallpapers for every room. Mix the designs to create a realistic look.
You can use marble wallpapers in the living room, kitchen, bathroom or hallway.

ADD A LOT OF RAW WHITE.

Keep it clean and healthy with a full-white interior design.

Colors will play a central part in 2019 home design trends.
Plain white is a sure bet. When it comes to the decor, bone white and chalky white exude natural and raw beauty.
Plain white hues are organic, clean and fresh.

ADOPT A HYGGE DESIGN.

The Hygge design is a warm and cozy decor.

Hygge is a Danish design concept.
Hygge design is a mix of intimate and cozy furnishings. The style showcases items you find during the chill season. Hygge decors include candles, blankets with patchworks, tea accessories, etc.
Hygge designs look great all year-round, even in warmer climates.

BE AHEAD OF THE 2019 DESIGN TRENDS.
Knowing the home decor trends allows you to get more ideas.
It’s good to get a jump-start on the 2019 interior flavors. Yet, remember that the best home design is the one where you feel good. You don’t need to keep up with all decorating trends. Check the ideas above and select the ones that will suit your existing decor. Create a home where you and your loved-ones will enjoy life and create happy memories.
