[its-a-pain-having-a-name]

So we don’t know we just had this little character in our head which made a fucked up little art project and we need to remember it. Gonna post it because why not, they are kind tma so yeah. (These descriptions are bad and rudimentary at best be warned)

The twisting halls-

Long halls of doors which branch off into spirals it has striped blue/white pink/yellow wallpaper

The dark room-

Painted with the blackest black with red coloured lantern and figures in the room

The moon pool-

Liminal space with repeating columns with snaking pools of glass and cyan light.

The room of isolation-

It is cold just a chair and glass all around however behind the glass is translucent white glass and the appearance of talking figures in the distance

Immensity-

Below is lit blue glass which goes continuously down, the surface of which looks like the ripples of the sea. Over head is wide and open, full of titan statues, forced perspective and orbiting planets.

The moon chamber-

Mirrors used to reflect any moon light down to a grasping stone hand

Impossible stairs-

A room of Escher like staircases most defying gravity and leading nowhere. Separate but similar to is large barely climbable blocks making the wanderer feel small

The liminal section-

A mash between different corridors with blue sky painted behind windows, massive arch ways and staircases

The watched library-

A place filled with bookcases which arch to the ceiling packed with books of gibberish. Like the library of babble however some parts of the books have diagrams, strange number systems, characters from made up languages and short spouts of paranoia, ideas about being so close to knowing and endlessly being watched. There is a throne of green in there and the walls are littered with all kinds of eyes.

The trinket room-

Filled with all kinds of curious and impossible mathematical objects

The fractal rooms-

A collection of rooms where the floor is large detailed carving of such things as trionskies triangle, the lichen berg pattern and the Mandelbrot set.

The decay room-

Looks dusty old beige, fungi blooming. There is a withered looking sofa

The proximal room-

You climb up through a trap door, which when put down is almost unnoticeable. It is like a classroom, the clock does not tick, the computers time does not change and where all doors and windows should be there is a recession but the wall is smoothed over.

The static room-

An animatronic model slums across a desk sluggishly moving. A coffee cup filled with a psychedelic looking pattern sits before the figure. In front of the figure the only light comes from many old tv screens which are filled with colourful static, bars of colour or neon smiling face with spiralling eyes.

The meat shop-

A butcher’s shop where you see candy coloured gore, a selection of goods sit on plates on display they are caked in resin made piles representing dripping colourful gore. Some are pink others neon blue. a model stands massive cleverer mid-swing the model of the muscular butcher who has too many muscles and extra parts.

The neglected mall-

A series of ruined shops situated in a concreted looking space devoid of customers

The puppets room-

With a massive chessboard floor , chess pieces, two large marionette figures playing while being controlled by a gargantuan spider puppet. Smaller model spiders and webs are scattered about the room as well.

The faceless auditorium-

A theatre stage with rows of seats slanting up and around. Model of performers’ on the stage mid act, audience members everywhere even up in the gods.

Most if not all audiences members have smooth blankness where a face should be, some may or maybe only some performers only have mouths. All performers have masks. The clothing is fancy in style.

The altar-

It’s hard to say how or why you’d believe so but this place was obviously of worship specifically for the spiral. The only room that seems to have directly worship in this place the others all seem like art installations or appreciation of the other factors of fear it was strange to see.

did anyone say good omens fanfic x cupid!reader ?!?!?

good evening tumblr. i have many thoughts for the ineffable fandom. can’t get out of my head a cupid!reader that crowley hangs out with now that azi is gone?!?? broken heart crowley?!?! crowley x reader smut ?!? gender neutral reader?!?!? gender bending crowley?!?!? sex shop running cupid ?!?!?!??! 🫣🤔🤭🪽

I wrote a drabble. Please send thoughts. May write a fic 🫣 XOXO, xwingsandohs.

Angels and demons have always been assigned their roles on earth to protect peace and create chaos, but it’s in the 15th century (or so) that the Almighty notices that humans have evolved themselves beyond simple procreation. And so God creates the Cupids, not necessarily a legion of angels and definitely not demonic, but a collection of holy beings powered by Earthly love to bring happiness and prosperity to humanity in new ways.

Where Aziraphale was defined by white hair and golden clothes, Crowley recognised by fiery red locks and sleek suits; this particular Cupid is defined by a rainbow of colours, patterns and flowers for every occasion.

It’s been three months since Aziraphale left for Heaven’s gates, or escalators to be more accurate, and your attempts to foster and create love in London has suffered thanks to a certain lonely demon moping around. Crowley can’t admit he just needs the company.

“Coffee?” You ask, Crowley hums positively. “What would you like?”

“Something strong.” He’s sitting on a lovely green couch in the back room of your shop, sprawled in all his comfort. It’s decorated with a variety of silly cushions, one particular eye-catching one being bright blue with orange tassels.

The room is littered with beige boxes of spare stock and new deliveries, but you still keep it looking bright with a mis-matched collection of hanging prints and printed wallpaper. You keep it on theme with what you stock.

“I know that, silly.” You shake your head and smile as always, you both do this routine most mornings. The coffee bean grinder grunts loudly and you pick out two big mugs from the cupboard. “What shall I try draw in your coffee with the milk? You know I’ve been practising.”

You have been practising. Despite coffee not being the main draw of your high street shop, you have a vision of giving out free drinks to customers if you can master the art of the latte. You’re getting better, actually.

“A leaf.” Your friend responds, standing up and heading towards you.

“You say that every time!”

Crowley picks up the yellow striped mug you’d taken out for his drink.

“I like the leaf.”

He’s nonchalant. He puts the mug back and looks around for the one he wants.

“But it’s easy and I’d like a challenge. Something silly.”

You grin up at him with a little humour, and he looks back to you with a raised brow.

He can’t find the mug.

You look up and find the mug immediately. It’s completely plain and black, with a slightly lighter shade of grey on the inside. He bought it and gave it to you especially for his drinks. You always fight back.

“Fine.” Crowley says with exasperation. “How about….” He looks around for inspiration in your decor, finding little that he wishes to ask for. “A tree?”

“Oh, I know!” You almost cut him off, exclaiming. He doesn’t know why you bother asking, again, this is your routine. His eyes roll and you can sense it without even seeing. “I’ve just remembered something I saw online the other day and I’d like to try it out.”

“Sure.” He rubs across his face with his hands then spins on the spot to head back to a seat on the couch. The milk steamer screeches and he considers it his cue.

“Could you do me a quick favour before I unlock the doors?” He stops, seconds away from reclaiming comfort on the velvet. He’s not your assistant, but you tend to always ask for these little things.

“I know you’re not my assistant, but there’s a pile of online orders printed out that I need to put together. Could you grab that pile from upstairs for me? It’s next to the-“

“The computer.” He finishes. Routinely.

You finish the coffee.

By the time he’s brought down the pile of paper and placed it where you like it behind the till incase of a quiet moment, you’re skipping over to unlock the door and flip the sign to ‘Open!’ Before it hits 9:01.

Then you rush back to grab the two mugs.

Crowley looks around at the shelves and pegs that hold the stock and shakes his head at everything he sees, humans and their rubbish. He does however appreciate the collection of green plants that have found a place amongst the shelves since he’d been spending lots of time here. They perhaps even look happier than his own, or maybe the colourful shelves really bring out their green.

“I wonder what lovely people will walk through our doors today?” You say with a smile, taking your first sip of coffee and smearing the pattern. Your hand holds out the other cup to Crowley.

He shrugs, takes the coffee from your hand and looks down at the pattern. “It’s a…”

“-A seahorse!” He wouldn’t have guessed it really, but when you point it out he notices. It’s definitely an animal of some sort.

“I like it.” He doesn’t really care for it, but you seem to like the labour, he understands that care. “Although it’s a little…”

He’s not going to say the word.

You’re still grinning, you know the word.

“A little…?” You ask.

“You know, it’s…” He doesn’t say.

“Phallic?” You say it. He doesn’t look away from the coffee.

“Phallic.” He confirms with an unsurprising demeanour .

“I know!” You giggle, he shakes his head.

“You really do take this all very seriously, don’t you?” Crowley chuffs as he leans back against the counter and takes his first sip.

“You could say it’s all about passion in this business.”

Well…. What else would a Cupid sell? The bell above the door rings.

“Good morning.” You call to the first two customers that come through the door. They respond politely back. “Welcome to Sugar ‘n’ Spice, let us know if we can help with anything.”

“Actually, we were looking for some bondage gear?” The lady says as her partner shrinks slightly behind her.

“Of course! Let me introduce you to our selection and then I’ll leave you to shop on your own.”

pilot!Max x backpacker!Daniel 👨‍✈️✈️💼

Part 5!

Part 1: Part 4

"Well, when I'm not being hunted by interpol," he says after a beat, the laughter still playing on his lips. "I'm a tattoo artist."

Max's gaze darts down, taking in the lengths of tanned, tattoo skin; dark ink woven onto Daniel.

"Ah," he says after a beat. "Possibly slightly more likely than a teacher."

"Hey, I'm a teacher of life," Daniel says, and then flushes, no doubt hearing how presumption he sounds. Max laughs, cheeks warming.

"A teacher of life? Go on?"

"Well," he shrugs modestly, a mix between proud and bashful. "It is my Instagram username."

"Is it now?" Max asks dryly, watching as Daniel takes out his phone and unlocks it to reveal a wallpaper of bright, blue ocean.

"Yeah, well, something like that," he says, tapping on the screen and then twisting the device around so Max can see. Rows of neat squares great him, patterned in alternative art and lifestyle themes.

Max gaze flickers to the top.

"Impressive," Max says, taking the figures in.

Daniel laughs. "What, my misspelling of life? 20 year old me thought he was a genius. Here," he taps on the most recent post, a black and white tattoo. A whale jumping through stars, it's body detailed with feather- like strokes of ink.

"This is the one I did last week," he says, note of pride clear. "Cool, right?"

"Very," Max replies, earnestly clicking to the next photo of a cartoon racecar inked into someone's ankle.

"Maybe one day I could give you a tat," Daniel says. Max's head jerks up, and then he lets out a surprised laugh when he realises Daniel is teasing him.

"I don't think so," he says smoothly. Sebastian would kill him before F1 Wings had a chance to fire him. Professionalism is the first article in the code of conduct they all have to sign. No tattoos is the third article.

"Why?" Daniel cocks his head. "You don't like them?"

"Not on me," Max replies. He's always known his appearance is more akin to an office worker than anything remotely exciting. If people were colours, he'd be a fine beige hue. Tattoos are cool and dynamic and interesting, all things Max is most certainly not.

"I think you'd suit a few tattoos," Daniel continues, gaze turned critical as it runs up and down Max's body. He shivers, trying to resist the urge to cross his arms across his chest.

"You have a wonderfully cool colouring; tattoos would really take to you I think."

"You mean pallor," Max says dryly, but Daniel shakes his head.

"No, I meant what I said. Cool colouring. Opposite of warm. Tattooing you would be like painting on a canvas, the colours would be so beautiful and bright, I can just tell. I mean, look at me," he rolls up his sleeve, revealing tanned skin adorned with ink. "I'm a bitch to tattoo with colours because you constantly have to work out colour theory, and how the inks will show up against my darker complexion. You wouldn't have any of that worry - your colouring is perfect, a tattooist's wet dream."

"Am I really?" Max says with a grin, delighted in the way Daniel's cheeks instantly darken.

"I didn't mean," he blurts out, and then shakes his head. "Well, I mean, I idn't not not mean - The flight."

"The flight, " Max repeats, smiling at how flustered Daniel is.

"How'd you find it?" He asks, clearly desperate to move the conversation on and to ease the burning in his cheeks.

"Good," Max says with a shrug, taking pity on him and letting the topic change. "What about you?"

"Er good, yes, very good. I mean, I pretty much slept the whole time, so that helped. How about you?"

"How about me what?" Max asks, piercing a lump of chicken. It's beyond stupid, but he takes a sprig of pride in the fact the flight was smooth enough for Daniel to sleep, despite the turbulence they went through.

"Did you catch some Zs?" Daniel asks. He tilts his head slightly, as if searching Max's expression for evidence of exhaustion.

Max huffs a soft laugh. "No, not really. I can't really sleep on planes. I think I got about forty-five minutes? But not a lot. It's fine, I'm used to it." Forty-five minutes in the cramped chair as Lando took his seat, listening to Sebastian carefully instructing Lando and knowing it was advice Lando would promptly forgot.

Daniel's eyebrows draw together. "You must be wrecked then, right? As you didn't sleep on the bus either."

Max shrugs. It feels nice to have someone fuss over him, even a stranger like Daniel.

"Not really," he says, piercing another lump of amorphous chicken in the sea of mayo. "Like I said, I'm used to it."

Daniel just scoffs, as if Max has done something particularly impressive. "Wow, if I had gone over 24 hours without sleep, I think I'd be fit to kill."

"Good thing for me you slept on the plane then, right?" Max quips.

Daniel looks at him, and then grins. "Yeah, I suppose it is."

-

When they've moved onto their second coffee, Max can't resist any longer. He has to ask about Lando's overhead announcement.

"So," he broaches the subject. "Had you fallen asleep yet when the first pilot came on the comms?"

Daniel snorts, and Max feels his lips turn upwards reflexively.

"No, and thank fuck I did not get to miss that. The most entertaining thing I've ever witnessed on the plane, and that includes watching the Fast and Furious films in one sitting and watching a toddler drawing with a Sharpie on her sleeping dad's face. I don't think I've ever heard a pilot be more enthusiastic while being so undeprepared. How did he manage to get every detail wrong?"

Max smirks at the memory. The first comms announcement typically fell under his responsibilities as Second Officer. This time, ostensibly as a reward for officially being promoted to Cadet, but in reality simply to prevent Daniel from hearing his voice, he had convinced Sebastian to let Lando do the welcome comms for the first time.

"Come on Seb," he'd said as they all belted. "It's three sentences, how bad can he fuck them up?

Clearly, Max had vastly underestimated Lando's talented for fucking things up.

"He sounded like he was 12 or something," Daniel says, not unkindly. "The woman sitting beside me looked like she was checking whether it was too late to bolt for it when his voice cracked for like the tenth time."

Max laughs. "Considering he also got his am and pm mixed up, the date wrong, and mispronounced about five words, I can't really fault her logic."

Max had been sitting beside him in the cockpit, hissing corrections, which in turn only made Lando panic more and somehow mess up even further. When he'd finally switched off the comms, successfully turning the simple, routine welcoming address Max does on each flight into about ten rambling sentences, Sebastian had looked up from his final checks.

"Let's not do that again, okay?" He had said mildly, and for once Lando had just meekly nodded in agreement, and Max had had to turn to the window to hide his grin.

"Speaking of ages," Daniel says, drawing Max from the memory. "How old are you?"

"Me?" He replies stupidly, as if Daniel could mean anyone else. "Twenty-three."

Daniel's eyebrows shoot up. "No shit. I had you figured to be at least in your mid, if not late, twenties."

Max tries for a teasing smile. "Do I already have so many wrinkles?"

Daniel huffs a laugh, and gratification spools in Max's chest, tighter and tighter.

"Fuck you, you full on know you look like an extra in, like, Baywatch."

"Oh yes, because I am clearly so tanned, " Max deadpans, and Daniel laughs again, his cheeks warming.

"Well, okay, but -"

He's interrupted by a shrill alarm and swears as he taps at his phone.

"Sorry," he mutters, leaving over to rummage through his bag. "Normally I'm fine, but when I'm traveling I have to set alarms to remember to take my meds, or else the jet lag would completely ruin it."

Max watches as Daniel sits up again, a neat medicine box in his hands, the same one Max can remember his grandmother using.

"Health is wealth, as they say," Daniel clips open the section labelled Monday, revealing one circular white pill and one blue tablet.

"Do they?" Max asks, and Daniel shrugs as he scoops them into his palm.

"I keep forgetting English isn't your native language. So this one," he holds up the blue tablet, "is keratin, to ensure these lovely, luscious curls continue being just that while evading the male baldness gene which haunts my paternal line." He pops in his mouth, swallowing it dry. "And this one," he continues, holding up the remaining pill, "is a wonderful combination of various vitamins and minerals to keep me looking young, vibrant and ridiculously attractive."

"And humble as well?" Max asks as Daniel swallows that one dry too.

"Of course," Daniel gives him a grin, finally reaching for his water. "Naturally, Maxy."

fucking obsessed with redux now. i'll sell u my soul in exchange for 1 (one) snippet of it written /hj

u know what. i will. just for u

There was a restlessness in Finn's heart that needed to be tended to.

A horrible little pest of sorts pacing around in his chest; urging him to get up and get out there, beating on the walls of his ribcage and whining when the boy refused to rise from his armchair. Color from a precariously balanced box TV danced across the room, leaving most things to be various shades of a pale blue; he had favored natural light over the dull yellow lightbulbs installed in his RV, and neglected to turn them on when the sun began to set.

Glassy-eyed, he watched Poltergeist run for what had to be the hundredth time this month. Sinking further into his chair, caring less and less about whatever was happening on screen, the screams from the film once-piercing now fading into a dull hum in the background...The restlessness outweighed his desire to do fuck all, and he begrudgingly rose to his feet, slammed a fist against the power button on the television, and watched with horror as the force of it caused it to begin to fall over.

He made a sound that can be only compared to that of a threatened prey animal crying, and rushed to fix his mistake at the cost of his finger getting smashed into the wall, which immediately began to bleed.

Finn swore loudly as he readjusted his TV and sucked on his bleeding finger, now thoroughly conscious. He made his way to the tiny kitchen that was pressed against the wall and began rifling through cupboards & drawers, in search of the mightiest salvation of all: a band-aid and Neosporin.

He yanked open a cupboard door and found not the band-aids, but his instant camera. It was a sort of beige, with chrome lining on some of the edges; The mere sight of it reminded him of why he had decided to trap himself inside all day.

His fingers twitched toward it, but his gaze was focused on a binder that laid on the counter. Black, and anything but sleek; it was torn in most places, its only lifeline being scotch tape and glue. On the front, written in white paint, was a title. Though it was supposed to say 'findings', it was obscured by a slightly crumpled photograph.

He inhaled sharply and pulled the picture toward him.

It was dark. Only a few feet in front of the light source was illuminated, the weak flash of his camera not doing him much of a service. The ground was ashy-- dusty -- comprised of splintered floorboards, and littered with the bones of unfortunate small animals who had come there to die.

The walls, too, were slightly visible; old, fraying wallpaper exposed the interior workings of the house. The flowery adornment had faded to a sickly blue-green, and the pattern itself had turned from pink-orange roses to yellowish ones.

Though, that was of course, not the focus. In the center of the photo was a blackness, a yawning chasm that made the small space appear massive, punctuated by white flecks of dust that Finn had kicked up before taking the photo; And amid them, the reflection of somethings eyes stared back.

Finns brow furrowed as he studied the picture again, and he tried to rationalize what he had captured the night before. It was something he should've been excited about, given his nature as an amateur paranormal investigator, but it shook him to his core instead.

Nothing he knew of, nothing he could believe, nothing that existed in his reality could match up to whatever he found in the old Merryweather house; The eyes were not simply that of a raccoons or something similar, considering that there were 9- at least, that he could see.

The worst thing yet occurred to him when he considered how far his camera's flash typically traveled. Even in the darkest environments, such as this particular photo, he could rarely-if ever-see anything that was further than 3-5 feet away from him at the time of taking the image.

Finn's thoughts were interrupted by him catching a glimpse of his bloodied hand now dripping onto the countertop. He shoved the photograph inside the binder with little care as to where it ended up and snapped it shut before tossing it on the couch.

He would worry about meeting it again later.

Ideas for Decorating a studio apartment

For you, the centrepiece of your home is the studio apartment. It is your sanctuary where you may unwind and splurge. So why cut corners when developing this area? There are many options for creating a practical and fashionable studio apartment, whether you choose luxurious studio apartment interior design or something traditional and straightforward. Here are a few of the most beautiful studio apartment decorating ideas from some of the top authorities on interior design:

Create a nautical decor:

Deep blue and white which are reminiscent of the seas make for an inspiring nautical decor combination for the studio apartment ideas. Use this colour combination for the linen, the furnishings, the upholstery and even for the wallpaper. An inspired idea would be to use the combination in stripes for the ceiling instead of in the wallpaper.

Use artwork as a focal point:

Colourful prints in place of the headboard will not only serve to add the splash of colour you are seeking for the neutral walls of your bedroom but also create a focal point for the decor. You can use the colours in the picture to coordinate and match the accessories and fixtures of the entire room with great panache.

Cabana style:

opt for full length French style patio doors and windows in white for a Cabana style bedroom interior. A four-poster bed with a net canopy will add the touch of authenticity to the decor. Keep the lines clean and simple for a classic look.

Palace themed:

Create a royal studio apartment with the right palace inspired accents. Luxurious bedding on a king-sized bed with half canopy in a rich fabric, lush upholstered headboard and cosy pillows with intricate detailing will create the desired effect. Use ornate drapes and carved furniture and muted lighting with accented walls in a colour like pale gold or shiny beige to complete the look.

Monotone:

All whites never go out of fashion for the studio apartment. The versatility of white and its ability to create a serene, soothing yet fashionable studio apartment design statement is what makes it so popular among the leading designers from interior design companies in the UAE. Don't forget to use the rare coloured accessories to break the monotony, and revel in the luxury of the white interior of your bedroom.

Printed fantasy:

Got an old printed sari you don't know where to use? Make bedding out of it. Use patterned wallpaper in muted shades to complement it. For furniture, keep the lines simple, and to offset the bright patterns of the sari, use a neutral colour like white or cream. For flooring too, use a light shade, and throw an eclectic printed rug.

Go green: And we mean it literally.

The touch of green on the walls can be contrasted with serene accents of white for bedding, upholstery and even the drapes. Use wooden furniture to complete the look. Accents of white as well as black work equally well with this kind of home decor ideas.

The minimalist bedroom:

This one is for those who want to avoid the frills and keep their bedroom as a space for pure relaxation. Get a wooden bed with a design that focuses on keeping the lines straight and clean; instead of flowing curtains opt for blinds; place only the most necessary furniture you want and there you have it. What you could get away with even in a minimalist decor scheme though is the use of colours. Be creative and opt for patterned tiles for the flooring, or paint the ceiling and voila, you'll have a masterful minimalist bedroom design without any fuss all the same.

Trending Wallpaper Patterns for a Sleek Office Design

Designing an office space with sleek and modern wallpaper can set the tone for productivity and professionalism. Here are some trending wallpaper patterns that can give your office a polished and stylish look without overwhelming the space. Whether it's for a large corporate setting or a cosy home office, these designs will complement various office environments.

3D Wallpaper for Modern Offices

3D look wallpaper is an excellent choice for offices looking to bring depth and texture to their walls. This type of wallpaper creates visual interest with patterns that seem to jump off the wall, giving your space a dynamic look. From abstract shapes to intricate lines, 3D designs are versatile and can fit well in both minimalistic and contemporary office settings. For open office spaces, 3D wallpaper can serve as a feature wall that adds a subtle layer of sophistication to the overall decor.

Geometric Wallpaper for a Minimalist Vibe

If you want a minimalist and sleek feel in your office, geometric wallpaper is a fantastic option. With clean lines and precise shapes, this style suits modern office wall decor perfectly. Geometric patterns range from simple triangles and squares to more complex, abstract shapes. The crisp and orderly designs help maintain a professional environment, making them ideal for office cabins and workspaces. Pairing geometric wallpaper with neutral tones can also balance the space, ensuring it remains productive yet visually appealing.

World Map Wallpaper for a Global Perspective

World map wallpaper is an excellent addition to any office that thrives on international collaboration or global inspiration. Not only does it add a sense of exploration and knowledge, but it also makes for a great conversation starter. World map wallpaper works particularly well in conference rooms and executive offices, giving the space a cultured and worldly feel. It is available in various colours, from classic black-and-white maps to colourful, detailed versions, allowing you to choose one that best suits your office decor.

City Wallpaper for an Urban Aesthetic

City view wallpaper is another trend that's gaining popularity in modern office design. Featuring iconic cityscapes and skylines, this type of wallpaper brings an urban vibe to your workspace. Whether you choose a wallpaper showcasing your favourite metropolis or a general city view, it adds energy and movement to the environment. City wallpaper can be used in an office cabin to reflect a dynamic work culture or in break rooms to provide a stimulating backdrop. It pairs well with minimalistic furniture and sleek office designs.

Grey Wallpaper for a Calm and Neutral Setting

Grey wallpaper is a timeless option for creating a calm, neutral atmosphere in an office. It offers a soft backdrop that doesn't overpower the space, making it easier to focus on work. From light grey tones that evoke a sense of openness to darker hues that bring a more formal and focused mood, grey wallpaper is highly versatile. You can opt for solid grey wallpaper or choose subtle patterns such as stripes or textures that add depth without being too distracting. Grey wallpaper works well in both large open spaces and smaller office cabins.

Wood Wallpaper for a Warm, Natural Look

For those who prefer a natural and warm ambience, wood wallpaper is a perfect fit. It mimics the appearance of real wood, giving your office a rustic and inviting feel without the cost or maintenance of real wooden panels. Wood wallpaper is ideal for offices aiming to combine modernity with a touch of nature, adding warmth to a sleek design. Brown and beige wood tones create a welcoming and comfortable environment, making them suitable for meeting rooms or personal offices. Wood wallpaper also complements other earthy tones, enhancing the overall office wall decor.

Brown Wallpaper for an Earthy and Sophisticated Atmosphere

Brown wallpaper can lend a sophisticated, grounded atmosphere to your office space. Whether it's rich chocolate tones or lighter beige shades, brown wallpaper adds warmth and depth. This colour works well in executive offices and boardrooms, where a more serious tone is desired. Brown wallpaper pairs nicely with leather furniture and wooden elements, further enhancing the refined feel of the space. For a modern twist, opt for textured or patterned brown wallpapers that maintain an elegant look while offering visual interest.

Conclusion

Selecting the right wallpaper for office can make all the difference in how the space feels and functions. Whether you opt for 3D wallpaper for a modern touch, geometric patterns for a minimalist look, or wood and brown wallpaper for warmth, each style can suit a variety of office settings. The key is to choose patterns and colours that reflect the professional atmosphere you wish to convey while keeping the design sleek and simple.

Warli Whimsy: Unleashing Your Inner Artist with Easy Warli Painting

Craving a touch of earthy charm and cultural vibrancy in your home or office? Look no further than Warli painting, an ancient Indian art form that's as simple as it is captivating. No fancy supplies, no intimidating techniques – just rice paste, earthy hues, and a playful spirit ready to dance with geometric shapes and enchanting figures. So, put aside your worries and grab your brushes, because today, we're diving into the delightful world of easy Warli painting!

A Legacy Etched in Mud:

Warli art isn't a newcomer to the scene. For centuries, the Warli tribe of Maharashtra has woven stories of nature, community, and daily life onto the mud walls of their huts using rice paste and natural dyes. Simple circles, triangles, and lines formed dancing figures, swaying trees, and playful animals, creating a visual language that whispered generations-old narratives. In the paintings of Warli art lies the essence of accessibility, storytelling, and a deep connection to nature.

From Huts to Hipster Havens:

Today, Warli tribal art has transcended its tribal roots, adorning modern canvases, home décor, and even corporate spaces. Designers incorporate its earthy elegance into textiles, wallpapers, and furniture, adding a touch of cultural flair to urban aesthetics. The beauty of Warli art lies in its easy adaptability. Its simple motifs and lack of strict rules make it accessible to anyone, regardless of age or artistic skill.

Your Warli Toolkit: A Minimalist Masterpiece:

The best part about paintings of Warli art? You don't need an elaborate artist's studio! Basic essentials will suffice:

Paper or canvas: Opt for thick paper or canvas sheets that can handle the rice paste without warping.

Brushes: Small, flat brushes are perfect for drawing lines and shapes. You can even use twigs or cotton swabs for a unique texture.

Colors: Earth tones like brown, black, white, and red are the traditional palette, but feel free to experiment with vibrant hues for a modern twist. Use readily available poster paints or mix your own rice paste with natural dyes like turmeric or beetroot.

Pencil (optional): If you prefer to sketch out your design beforehand, a light pencil sketch can be helpful.

Unleashing Your Inner Warli Artist:

Now, the fun begins! Here's a simple guide to get you started:

Start with the background: Paint your canvas or paper with a light wash of earthy tones like ochre or beige. This creates a warm base for your Warli motifs.

Embrace the circle: Circles are the cornerstone of Warli art. They represent the sun, the moon, eyes, and countless other elements. Practice drawing different sizes and thicknesses of circles – they become building blocks for your artwork.

Squares and triangles join the party: Don't be afraid to add squares, triangles, and lines to your circles. These geometric shapes form houses, boats, animals, and human figures. Experiment with different arrangements and let your imagination guide you.

Fill the gaps with dots: Dots, another core element, symbolize seeds, stars, and raindrops. Fill in empty spaces with playful dotted patterns to add texture and rhythm to your artwork.

Let the figures dance: Once you've mastered the basic shapes, start creating simple figures. Stick-like humans with triangular heads, dancing animals with swirling tails, and birds with geometric wings – let your creativity flow and tell a story through your figures.

Nature whispers: Warli art is deeply connected to nature. Add trees with triangular branches, playful sun faces, and raindrops dancing amongst your figures. Remember, there are no limitations in Warli art – let your interpretation of nature shine through.

Beyond the Canvas: Warli Whimsy for Everyone:

The beauty of Warli painting lies in its versatility. It's not just for walls! Get creative and explore these exciting possibilities:

Warli on fabric: Paint on tote bags, pillowcases, or scarves to add a touch of cultural flair to your everyday life.

Warli pottery: Decorate clay pots or plates with Warli motifs and create unique serving platters or decorative accents.

Warli greetings cards: Handmade Warli greeting cards are a thoughtful and personalized way to show someone you care.

Warli workshops: Gather your friends and family for a fun Warli painting session. It's a great way to connect, unleash your creativity, and learn about this beautiful art form.

White and wood living room: 6 ideas to decorate it with the perfect combination - Interior decoration

Decorating the living room in white and wood brings a feeling of warmth and simplicity to the space, creating a serene and cozy atmosphere. It is a timeless combination that has become very popular in recent years, ideal for decorating in the minimalist style, and is perfect for any environment.

Keep in mind that wood enhances the brightness of white, and white tones highlight the richness and texture of wood. Therefore, it is a combination that goes beyond looking good, they are timeless elements of interior design that will never go out of style because they complement each other perfectly. Even as trends and tastes change over time.

This combination is widely used in decoration by lovers of Scandinavian style. The Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, and Finns use this style because they love nature. Nordic design almost exclusively incorporates wood, rattan, linen, cotton, and leather into decorations, complemented by simple colors such as white, gray, and beige.

You can incorporate different tones and types of wood, for example:

Warm woods: have shades of red, orange, and yellow.

Cool woods: have shades of gray, black, blue, and sometimes green. They tend to combine walnut, poplar, pine, and ash woods.

Neutral woods: have all shades of beige and brown, including hazel, walnut, and white oak.

In this article, we will explore six ideas to help you decorate your living room in white and wood, the perfect combination.

Ideas to decorate your living room in white and wood

Play with textures

One way to enhance the visual appeal of a white and wood living room is to incorporate different textures. Consider adding a fluffy rug with a textured pattern, cozy cushions with different fabric materials, and wallpaper on one of the walls. These textures will add depth and interest to the room, making it feel cozier and more attractive.

Balance with vegetation

Introducing vegetation into your white and wood living room can create a refreshing contrast and add a touch of nature. Place potted plants, such as succulents or small indoor trees, strategically around the room. This not only adds aesthetic appeal but also helps purify the air, making your living space healthier.

Accentuate with metallic elements

To add a touch of glamour and sophistication to your white and wood living room, incorporate metallic elements. For example, consider adding a coffee table with brass legs, metallic vases, or decorative objects with gold or silver finishes. This will create a beautiful contrast against the white and wood neutral tones, adding an elegant touch to the overall design.

Highlight with natural light

Natural light can significantly enhance the beauty of a white and wood living room. Keep your windows clear or use sheer curtains to allow maximum daylight into the space. Natural light not only brightens the room but also highlights the natural textures and colors, creating a vibrant and airy sensation.

Add a touch of color

Although a white and wood living room is often associated with minimalism and neutrality, adding a touch of color can bring life and character to the space. Choose a bold accent color, such as vibrant blue, intense green, or warm orange, and incorporate it through accessories such as cushions, artworks, or decorative objects. This will create a focal point and make the room visually appealing.

Personalize with art and photography

Make your white and wood living room truly unique by displaying art and photography that resonate with your personal style. Hang paintings, prints, or photographs on the walls, showcasing your favorite artists or capturing memorable moments through the lens. This personal touch will evoke emotions and add an extra layer of warmth and personality to your living space.

Some tips:

Keep in mind that if you place too much wood in the living room, to avoid overwhelming the space, incorporate some different but complementary materials such as glass, metallic finishes, and soft textiles.

A good option is to create contrast when decorating the living room with white and wood, for example, wooden beams against a white ceiling will have a great visual impact.

Minimalism in Interior Design: The Beauty of Simplicity

Introduction to the Aesthetics of Minimalism

In today's fast-paced world, where the hustle and bustle of everyday life can be overwhelming, more and more people seek peace and harmony in the interiors of their homes.

By designing interiors with a minimalist approach, the designers at TopInteriorDesign.co.uk understand that less can mean more - and that simplicity can exude a unique charm.

Minimalism in Interior Design

Clean lines and simple forms: Minimalist interiors are characterized by clean and readable lines. Furniture and accessories with reduced shapes add elegance and a special allure to the space.

Limited color palette: Neutral, subdued colors such as white, gray, beige, or black dominate minimalist arrangements. This creates a calm atmosphere, conducive to tranquility and relaxation.

Functionality at the forefront: Minimalism does not mean a lack of functionality. Interior designers from Edinburgh, working at TopInteriorDesign.co.uk, pay attention to every detail to provide practical solutions and optimal use of space.

The functionality of furniture takes precedence: storage compartments, cabinets, and shelves conceal unnecessary items, making the space feel more organized.

Interior finishes, such as simple, monochromatic wallpapers or smooth textures, complement the minimalist style.
