			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1667" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 220px"><a href="http://www.danetti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/inspire_solid_oak_sideboard_4_medium.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1667 " title="inspire_solid_oak_sideboard_4_medium" src="http://www.danetti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/inspire_solid_oak_sideboard_4_medium-300x300.jpg" alt="Solid oak sideboard" width="210" height="210" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Inspire solid oak sideboard is a great place to store all your clutter</p></div>
<p>If you fancy giving your home a new look but don&#8217;t have the budget to get all new furniture, then there are a few simple ways you can refresh your rooms on a budget.</p>
<p>One of the most dramatic transformations can some from a few great storage purchases &#8211; perhaps a <a href="http://www.danetti.com/sub_category.php?sub_category=console+and+sideboards" target="_blank">sideboard</a> or a new <a href="http://www.danetti.com/sub_category.php?sub_category=tv+stands" target="_blank">TV cabinet</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing what a difference this will make to your home as a whole &#8211; suddenly everything will have a place and there will be no more excuse for piles of paperwork and other miscellaneous items.</p>
<div id="attachment_1096" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.danetti.com/low-stools/somen-coffee-table"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1096" title="somen_coffee_table_5_wide" src="http://www.danetti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/somen_coffee_table_5_wide-300x161.jpg" alt="The versatile Somen coffee table - use as a table, for storage or as a stool" width="300" height="161" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The versatile Somen coffee table - use as a table, for storage or as a stool</p></div>
<p>Even small storage items like our handy Somen <a href="http://www.danetti.com/low-stools/somen-coffee-table" target="_blank">storage stool-come-coffee table</a> will help to make your home tidier.</p>
<p>Another sure-fire way to give your home a boost ready for the summer is to buy a few bright pieces of furniture. These don&#8217;t have to be major buys &#8211; just some <a href="http://www.danetti.com/dining-chairs" target="_blank">dining chairs</a> will be fine.</p>
<div id="attachment_652" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.danetti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/emo_chair_2_wide.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-652 " title="emo_chair_2_wide" src="http://www.danetti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/emo_chair_2_wide-300x161.jpg" alt="Danetti Emo dining chair" width="300" height="161" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Emo coloured dining chairs are an inexpensive way to add a modern touch to your home</p></div>
<p>We have a huge range of <a href="http://www.danetti.com/dining-chairs" target="_blank">bright dining chairs</a> in plastic, metal or upholstered leather finishes, so you&#8217;ll be able to find something that suits the style of your home.</p>
<p>Pick up the colour of the new dining chairs with accent colours elsewhere in your home, perhaps hanging abstract prints that include the same shade, or  having a lamp in the same colour. This will give a really polished, designer look but without the designer price tag.</p>
<p>In your kitchen, if you haven&#8217;t got the budget for a whole new fitted kitchen then creating a breakfast area can work wonders.</p>
<p>You can buy a <a href="http://www.danetti.com/dining-tables" target="_blank">cafe-style table</a> and a pair of <a href="http://www.danetti.com/bar-stools" target="_blank">bar stools</a> to match relatively cheaply and they can really help to make your kitchen look more contemporary and make it a much more sociable and useful space.</p>
<p>Other quick-fix and low-budget makeover ideas include wallpapering one wall in a room to give a focal-point, investing in a statement light fitting and simply redesigning your furniture layout, moving items between rooms and sending items that are no longer needed to charity shops.</p>
<p>Let us know if any of these tips work for you!</p>

<p>The kitchen-diner has become common-place in modern British homes. Most of us like to have a large space where we can entertain guests around a large dining table or more informally on bar stools while we prepare food in the kitchen.</p>
<p>We had a chat with our fave interiors writer and stylist Rohini Wahi about the trend.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most homes I research these days have a kitchen diner,&#8221; she says, &#8220;they have become such an integral part of modern living &#8211; relaxed, fun and certainly more social.&#8221;</p>
<p>We agree with her. There&#8217;s something exciting and about entertaining in a kitchen-diner that you can&#8217;t achieve when the two spaces are separate.</p>
<p>There are a few things that you need to consider when decorating and buying furniture for your kitchen-diner, however.</p>
<p>First, what kind of look do you want to go for? Rohini says: &#8220;Emerging trends appear to be sleek and minimal in design but warming up the space are materials rooted in nature. Elements like reclaimed wood counter-tops are coupled with warming modern accessories in soft gold, brushed-metal pendant lights, or groups of vintage industrial lights hung over sleek marble counters.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mmm, we like the sound of that. Contemporary furniture mixed with elements from nature like real wood and marble.</p>

<p>Second, you need to consider the type of furniture to buy. In a kitchen-dining space it&#8217;s best to opt for a range of seating, so you can use the space in different ways. Ideally, you should go for a breakfast bar or drinks area with bar stools in the kitchen so people can sit and chat with you while you cook. You should also try to have a modern sofa and coffee table somewhere, so you can have a leisurely sit down and read a magazine while you&#8217;re waiting for your food to cook. Last but not least you need a large dining table with plenty of contemporary dining chairs so you can host dinner parties to remember.</p>

<p>Rohini says the way you style the space is all-important as well. &#8220;The key is to warm-up the once minimal diner reserved only for bachelor or city living, by mixing elements of modernity with tradition and choosing pieces that flow well in your colour scheme,&#8221; she says.</p>
