Moving out?

Here are some helpful tips to ease the process…

---

Moving into a new place is always a pain. I remember when I moved out with my family that one time, the hustle and costs to this date are the reasons my move will be quick and easy. Just a bunch of clothes and my make-up. (maybe my niece too and only because she’s tiny, otherwise!)

So in light to a close friend soaring to her new beautiful apartment I thought I do a little piece on how to reduce moving pains and enjoy that new chapter in your life.

1. REDUCE

This is by far the most important part of moving. Please don’t carry all your recycled BlueBand tins to your new place claiming “you’ll need them” and ” you never know”. Thank the Almighty for the plastic paper ban here in Kenya because some of us would reserve a whole hour to just organize those polluting monsters for the move. Think  about what you need and what you’ve been meaning to get rid of.

You can opt to do a good deed and give out some of your stuff to charity. From the clothes you don’t wear anymore but keep around because you thought they’d work with an outfit “one day” to the shoes you haven’t walked in in years.

If you are planning to get some new furniture, don’t be greedy picking a stool and a chair from mum’s house. Move in first then see what else you might add that was lazying around back home then add it on later. Otherwise, guys will reduce their clutter into your new space.

2. TAKE YOUR TIME

Nobody ever said moving in has to be a sprint. Rushing into stuff might end up leading to unnecessary over spending. Nothing ever beats good research, look into the best moving companies, the best day and time to move (I’d say the weekend) and also inquire from areas you bought major delicate items if they do deliveries for free after purchase. This ends up saving you a lot more money. So you make the purchase and they store it for you, for some time (usually they have a maximum storage period) and when you are ready for the move, they just hook you up!

3. HAVE YOUR DECOR IN MIND

Although some might not see this as necessary, I honestly think having a good idea and plan of how you want your space to look like is beyond important. This helps you know close to exactly what to get and what isn’t necessarily your style. It becomes strenuous when you walk into a dozen stores not knowing what you are looking for, or what color, or even worse having to decide on a decor theme on the spot. You end up with quite a mixture of items and by horrible luck you might hate all of them when you place them together.

Plan ahead, if you are not a planning freak like me a) hire me to do it for you (hahahaha) and b) have a rough idea (not too rough though like at least draw something small on paper)

4. MEASUREMENTS

Do not assume the size of your space and the size of the furniture. It’s of course unrealistic to measure everything you want to get, so just basically the big items. Confirm the bed size, the sofa and also in some cases the cooker and fridge. Measure your space and ensure they will fit perfectly without looking squeezed, if you don’t ensure this they might not even fit at all after you’ve already made that purchase.

Thank you so much for stopping by… that is all I have for today. I hope these tips help ease your move. Don’t forget to share the post with a friend and a friend of another friend.

Peace, Love and Prosperity Xx

PASTEL WALL PAINTS

I gets with the trend…

---

Now if you have been following the blogs, vlogs, pages and all that good stuff on the Internet these days, you will notice the new term that has been all the rage for the past couple of .. years? not really sure. PASTEL! (weirdly sounded like Pascal my primary comps teacher he was one of the good ones with his MS Word and all that other important -ish stuff)

I got into the rave after all these pastel products started coming about, from the nail- polish to the make-up palettes, the handbags, the always amazing pastel outfits and oh good Lord yes the beautiful pastel shoes I would drool over on weheartit (this site always had that kind of vibe).

Anyway, now that we have an unnecessary quickly ended back story to this particular blog post, I can now jump into why we are actually here… Pastel Wall Paint.

Image Source: https://domino.com/pastel-color-wall-paint?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7.16%20Daily%20Active&utm_content=A&utm_term=Daily%20Active

My next door neighbor has been doing renovations and I went to take a peek (it’s my nosy neighbor duty) I loved almost everything about it, except the very disturbing blue he had going on for some of the bedroom walls and some of the wardrobe doors (I said nothing but good things though because I am a coward lol)

But if you ask me: A pastel blue would have been more calming, easier to work into your decor and is also gender fluid. This color would work for both a boy of a girl. For a girl, just add in more pastel pink things to your decor matched with some blue if you like and white to neutralize the monotony and boom! Interior decor magic. For the boy add in some whites and yellows and boom! Interior decor geniusness (you are welcome all ye parents to be, I take praises in likes, shares and subscriptions)

Image Source: http://www.styleandminimalism.com/2015/08/decorating-with-dusty-pink/?utm_content=buffer57f29&utm_medium=social&utm_source=pinterest.com&utm_campaign=buffer

The Pink Pastel wall matched with some modern day decor gives this space the perfect feel (kind of like a Carrie Bradshow vibe … for the very young ones that is a sex in the city reference, necessary tip: Don’t watch this show with your parents at 8pm on KTN like I did you will be asked about the news, sent countless times for glasses of water and finally have the TV turned off for you to go sleep or do your homework). Anyway, the framed pictures did bring out the best in this pink pastel wall, not being too much but playing a huge part in completing the overall look, kind of like the right shade of lipstick after a full face of make-up.

Image Source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/benjaminmoorecolors/5978084998/in/set-72157617317785861

I know for some this might of course be too much but it honestly just showed how easily this colors blend and give off such a unique style depending on someone’s decor. Here, there are some really bold furniture choices but it for some reason. Also as I made my way up this pastel stairway I could not help but imagine a really tasty scoop of strawberry and mint ice cream (let my unique and unusual taste-buds live!!)

Okay! That is all I have for you guys today. Hope you enjoyed the post. I really enjoyed making it. Feel free to share, like and subscribe 🙂

Wait I’ve just remembered my primary comps teacher was called Polycarp not Pascal … my bad. Still a shout out though!

Stay Sane Xx.

Velvet Inspired Decor

A space fit for royalty…

---

A throne is only a bench covered with velvet ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

Look Napnap (I am so good with nicknames lol) already let us know what it takes to get our very own thrones and that’s exactly what today’s post will be about, nice velvety things that make us all look like we have some coin.

Also, this post was inspired by my addiction to Game of Thrones that I have been rewatching for the past few days and suspiciously learning the lines. Anyway moving right along, let’s dive straight into the post.

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/f9/9f/fe/f99ffe8e8c82144c7cfc715f21f2acf1.jpg

C’est parfait if you ask me. Gold has such a grand effect on anything! These chairs scream elegance, coin. The velvet gave this space a whole new feel, take for example, I am such a hater when it comes to black and white tiles, they are very Alice in Wonderland-ish but I certainly did not mind how they seemed here. Put a leather seat and I’d be having a different opinion for sure.

Image Source: http://essentialhome.eu/inspirations/

The modern minimalist take on a classy pink velvet. Add a touch of unique to your dining table with this gorgeous piece (or pieces). Things will just never be the same during dinner, even your meals will end up being different, some chicken, some fish,  some filet mignon, some wine, some ugali.. you know … the expensive stuff!!!

Okay! Next thing we could have a glance at is velevet curtains, wait! Before you write me off, just hear me out! You do not have to do the medieval velvet curtains, go with the times and be a little subtle. Have a close look at this kind of velvet…

Image Source: http://www.westelm.com/products/luster-velvet-curtain-dusty-blush-t1802/?pkey=ccurtains-drapes%7Csolid-curtains%7C

I know you agree, but remember just don’t get everything velvet. We love it but we aren’t maniacs … Mix and match! Otherwise we’d be eating one type of food at a time just rice for lunch then just beef for supper ( I should have a food blog and just mention the obvious … hahaha) I hope you get what I mean lol I am far too lazy to explain this well thought through analogy.

Moving on, we always get the boring beddings don’t we? Well that is about to change. Warm up in royalty this cold season ( this is just #ad gold, Kings collection hit me up ASAP)

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/81/f3/9c/81f39c5fa67c574aeae0047089f3af38.jpg

It is warm, definitely unique and just down right beautiful. This was definitely what Napoleon aka Napnap was going on about when he mentioned you just need to velvet stuff up to make it look pricey.

We have now come to the end of the blog, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I had quite alot of fun doing this post. Feel free to like, share and comment.

Stay sane. Xx

3 Amazing Wallpaper Uses

Beyond the wall…

---

It’s been quite a while, I’m sorry! Well needed rest I feel. Anyway, I’m back at it again with a new helpful and creative post to keep our designer minds popping and bobbing.

Wallpaper has always been my go to when talking about a quick interior change. The house walls are usually like skin, you change your skin and you look a whole lot different (this is the best analogy I could come up with after going missing for months.. nice.. haha). Moving right along, so here are 3 amazing uses for wallpaper that will give you house a new look and cost you less coin than you would think.

STAIRCASE BEAUTY

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/b3/49/40/b349401a3e25fb3edafbd84704309335.jpg

There always those over dramatic wallpaper designs I see in stores and I just stare at them like, who in the world would buy this? Well, I guess we should now!!! A little goes a long way. Add an accent wall without getting permanent and it being on the side of the staircase definetly got a nod from me because it looked a little less busy and does not restrict other patterns you may wish to have in your space.

The good news is that there is more than one way to place a wallpaper on your staircase. Have a look at this!

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/e0/a7/dc/e0a7dcf491b832715af062eba0f24a25.jpg

This looks absolutely gorgeous, and the best part is the placement is not at the top of the staircase so nobody will be ruining your beautiful style while the make their way up the stairs.

This particular picture did give me some tropical vibes because the blending of the pineapple images on the wallpaper and well placed vibrant plants, matched with those chairs ( I honestly don’t know what they are called) everything did come togethere perfectly. Goes to show that “one” thing could complete the look you might be going for and that “one” thing could be wallpaper.

WALL ART

Paintings can be very expensive, though totally worth it. I personally advocate for buying beautiful paintings mainly because I have amazing artists for friends, shout out to you Eileen Tamining, she draws people, birds, dogs to a pack of yogurt to absolute perfection, check her out. Anyway, sometimes when we are trying to get ready to save up that money for a beautiful drawing we could indulge in some allowed wallpaper cut into a beautiful frame DIY.

Image Source: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1pcMSNpXXXXbiXXXXq6xXFXXXl/Framed-Home-Decor-Canvas-Art-Painting-Forst-font-b-Nature-b-font-Landscape-Painting-Modern-Wall.jpg

You can thank me in likes and subscriptions for this one, I’m not needy 🙂 Anyway, so a framed wallpaper gives you room to have absolutely anything on your wall (in high resolution if you’d wish btw), it literally depends on what you would want for your space. So go ahead and get to DIY’ing.

TRAY ACCENTS

Sometimes , you would want to shake things abit. Add some character to your normal tray with some leftover wallpaper. Doesn’t cost too much time or money but the impact is definitely something your guests will notice. Be sure to direct them to veebydesign for more awesome interior decor tips and tricks ( As LoganPaul would say, always plug!!)

Tell me this isn’t stunning!.. I’ll wait!

 

So, that is all I have for you today, I am glad to be back and I’m glad my fellow designers are right back with me. Hope you enjoyed the post. Wishing you all nothing but good health, great success and warm hearts.

5 Temporary Rental Apartment Upgrades

Your Landlord doesn’t even have to know…

---

First decor post of the year… I am excited!!!!! How have your first few days been like? Let me know in the comment section down below.. did you get a dog? get married? change your hair color? I did all the above… haha just kidding, I planned to get a nose ring though then chickened out so I have that going for me. Anyway, back to the matter…open and close… (Wizkid reference talk about click bait lol) Vee! concentrate… okay now for sure we are getting back to the matter at hand, which is my most favorite thing to talk about and that is of course Interior Home Decor! So let’s get into rental friendly upgrades shall we?

Now moving into an already built home is easy in most aspects, considering it’s just like fast food…only for homes, if that makes any sense (like in-and-out? no?..okay!). The house could be perfect in most parts but there could be some areas that are simply not to your liking but looking for the perfect rental home is usually an impossible journey. So here are some few tips that could help you make that home a little more perfect to your own taste.

1. Rental Friendly Wallpaper

For some reason some landlords have a liking for really awkward colors. Of course some people could work through this colors but for the most of us they are simply repulsive regardless of the fact that the space could be perfect. Removable wallpaper is probably the answer for you. Coming in a huge selection of design, colors and patterns you will immediately feel right at home. You can get good quality wallpapers from most of the home stores all around Nairobi. Check out Mr. Price Home, they never disappoint.

2. Change up the flooring

I have seen quite some interesting tiles in my search that I would in no way be willing to deal with. I have mentioned this before, Floor Decor Kenya is definitely the fix in this situation. The laminated flooring can be placed right on top of those hideous cold tiles or you could also have a vinyl cushion placed which is a cheaper option that is just as versatile, durable and classy. Click on the link above to read more on laminated flooring, I had done a much more extensive post earlier :).

3. Lighting

The lighting that comes in rental homes is most of the times very simple and by simple I mean literally just a bulb to get you out of the dark… no style or character whatsoever. Luckily this can be easily spruced up with some new light fixtures. You will need to leave with these to your new home though, nobody is trying to gift anyone here.

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/27/3a/18/273a187662d41f6e91d19f5c76e8404d.jpg

4. Counter-top upgrades

For a lavish look, you could change up your counter-tops. Does an instant marble look sound appealing? Because it for sure is! Buy yourself a granite counter-top cover. It is quite easy to fix and doesn’t have any bubbles. It will look absolutely amazing and to top it off when it’s time to move or simply a change, it will not leave a residue. Trust me your friends, family, neighbor’s dog and that stranger will definitely be impressed by this. (Coin well spent!!)

5. Finally, focus on your decor

Decor is everything, from the prints, plants to the accessories. Make your rental home feel perfect just for you with your exact style and preference. Pick out what makes you feel right at home, if it’s a fluffy comfy rug or even a cool painting.

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/33/19/11/33191103276146466e3e1c8b042c35b5.jpg

That brings me to the end of today’s post. I really do hope it inspires anyone out there to spruce up their space a bit.

If you have any other tips that you would like to share kindly comment below I would love to hear from you and share ideas, tips and tricks.

Till next time,

THE MAGIC CARPET

What kind of pet just lays around the house? A Car-Pet! …

---

For the love of pun hahaha, please don’t unsubscribe some people do actually find me funny and pleasant 🙂

In the spirit of just a few more months to my big move, I came across rugs and carpets. I had an awesome time checking out some really well priced rugs at stores like Antarc and TACC and I thought I should share my idea of what I would eventually settle for.

I feel like a rug makes a home, whether on tiles or laminated floors they just bring out the best out of your home especially when well picked to your style and decor preference. If you have been a frequent veebydesign reader you do know I have a legit obsession with a gray ranged home theme with splashes of color and patterns here and there. I would have loved if this was matched with a white rug, but I am realistic so let’s simply look into other cozy, tiny niece friendly colors.

Image Source: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/191921086968?roken=cUgayN

A grey rug would fit so well on both light and dark floors and a plus is that it doesn’t show dirt too quickly ( wash your rugs though, don’t be nasty) and still looks stylish.

This also got my undivided attention….faux fur rugs. I mean whoever is looking for a vogue living space should definitely think about this beauty. This works effortlessly in the bedroom area as a bedside rug. Its fancy and will definitely be a wonderful feel on your feet first thing in the morning.

Image Source:http://www.thebeetleshack.com/2014/10/the-family-home-project-claudia-levi-eve.html

So heard you are looking for some living room class…how about a faux fur rug….yes..they don’t have to be restricted to the bedroom only. The right kind of this rug would fit right into you space and make a glorious decor statement. It is comfortable, child friendly and if you ave a little peach (my friend’s dog is called peaches) the fur won’t be so distinct as compared to other rugs.

Image Source: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ESSL1HU/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_Tyloxb1Z8546R

If you have solid colors through and through your home the a patterned rug would be a way to break the monotony.

Image Source: http://www.digsdigs.com/39-cozy-fur-home-decor-ideas-for-cold-seasons/pictures/80612/

A plain carpet would also do just fine too. In this situation i’d recommend a more bold color of it is just plain but the color should compliment the rest of the decor in the space.

Image Source: http://www.artvan.com/Furniture/Store/Product_Talbot-Collection_10051_10052_-1_800010670_30001_30000?N=87

 

Well, that is all the tips I have for you today. I’m now definitely torn between the bold plain and the faux fur but it’s okay i’ll probably go with what’s cheaper hahaha.

Stay tuned for a new post on faux fur decor inlcuding DIYs and all the good stuff.

Brass & Gold

The gateway to luxurious interiors…

---

I know it’s been a while but I needed some time to re-collect and re-organize my thoughts and just be brand new about a whole lot, with that said not much has changed I’m just being dramatic.Honestly, I just got super lazy for the past few weeks and my ideas genuinely sucked so I had myself a vacation. I relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine and now the rains, I went for some parties here and there in some nice houses, I postponed washing my clothes for this one week just to live on the edge (I hated the edge!) and finally I had a cup of noodles every once in a while ( wassup Indomie)..best affordable vacation ever!

Anyway enough chitty chatter, I know why we are all here….. Trump du Donald…oh no? That’s not it? I’m too late you say? He’s president you say?…oh okay wrong forum I guess! We are here for brass and gold interior decor, let’s keep it pushing while we still have internet in Africa shall we?

I have always loved a fancy looking bathroom with some nice marble or tiles matched with some neat curtains or all contained in a complementary glass cubicle but I always get let down a bit by the storage accessories placed in these luxurious bathrooms. Truth be told I am not a fan of plastic soap dishes they add no value to a style you’d hope to have in your salle de bains. So, when I saw this amazing brass bathroom storage and organizing accessories I knew I had to share. A fancy feel definitely floats around the space once you add these gorgeous babies to the mix.

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/e0/bf/78/e0bf78c7f218cf5fecda154ab0bcf1ff.jpg

Recently, I came across this awesome Instagram Page, I’ll remember the name eventually and they had  a DIY bar. I loved the idea so much and it got me thinking how perfect a brass bar would look like. You could add a bottle of your choice place some wine or whiskey glasses and maybe a bucket of ice. This would be perfect if you holding a small get together at your place where you guests would be comfortable enough to pour themselves something without having to invade your kitchen area.

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/e8/b9/95/e8b995f97cd6dbec9391ccf7b017b545.jpg

Why don’t you also throw in a bold pillow to the decor. This gold and marble throw pillow has such an abstract look to it, against a wide range of suitable solid couch colors this will be the cherry on top to avoid having a very plain looking sofa.

Image Source: https://society6.com/product/gold-marble-2ab_pillow

Gold accessories are by far my favorite when it comes to outfits because they shift anything from plain Jane to a 10. So, an opportunity to dress my living space with some gold accents is something that definitely had my decor blood pumping.

Hope you enjoyed the post as much as I did. Promise to be around a tad bit more. Stay positive, stay creative and stay golden.

Much Love!!

Fringe Benefits

As inspired by the awesome winniethefashionista…

---

She is among the girls killing it right now with her bomb fashion sense that even fashion bomb daily recently gave her the thumbs up. I am of course a lover of fashion in case you are wondering though I have my off the mark days (approximately most days of the year). I also do follow trends like a kid after candy and besides me being her friend I do more than occasionally end up on her site for some glorious style tips.

So on my usual stalking errands on her lovely site I did come across many wonderful pictures of her in a to-die-for fringe dress designed by Vivo and let’s just start with one I want that dress till to date and two I got insanely inspired to do a post on it. But calm down…. I am not switching into fashion blogging because I would possibly generally only talk about flats plus a red lip and also because Interior Decor is kinda my thing and better the devil I know right?

Image Source: http://winniethefashionista.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_6845-001.jpg

I love pushing my creativity as far as I can when it comes to various ideas and the opportunity to be inspired always gets my fingers typing at 1000 words per second to get it out and share with anyone willing to read 🙂 So let’s start getting into the fringe benefits of interior decor.

There are so many ways to add a fringe style to your home decor without looking like you have a bunch of stuff hanging around all over your house. It could end up looking messy and messy only looks good on a Saturday morning hair bun. So I shall gladly state the mantra I keep spitting out every single post, simplicity is always the best option, a little bit of something could make a space look absolutely magical and who in their right minds doesn’t love a bit of magic (except the Dudleys… shameless Harry Potter reference)

Image Source: http://bit.ly/2dKA3QK

 

There is a touch of glamour that comes with these cuties that has me obsessing over the shower curtain. We all know I love a gold detail and the gold details here made me hear all the bathroom angels sing.

It’s quite a unique style in the best of way and it blends so well it made me wonder how I don’t have this in my bathroom already because all shower curtains should look just like this if not better.

When I think of fringe, I envision Bohemian Elegance or Persian Perfection. Styles that are so unique and beautiful that if done right your house just might feel like another country. Of course fringe chairs used to be all the rage back in the day but I genuinely believe this can be brought back with a bit of a modern twist to it. For instance, there would be less print on the furniture just a solid color with the fringe to spice things up a bit, this is up for debate… I can hear some of you yell noooooooo while reading this haha don’t worry it brings back some old day memories for me too but take a look at this though..

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/a8/c9/13/a8c913bf448b9220d58de5743de3c8cd.jpg

 

There is a touch of Gatsby that comes with this particular fringed chair. The fringes don’t have to be thick, they can be thin, light and very elegant.

The accent chair is still very modern if you ask me, so there is no style lost here.

The lovely wall art played on my heart strings as well. It fit perfectly with the whole theme of the space magnificently bringing the look together.

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/5f/a9/ff/5fa9fff065cd0c597c223b4d742b423e.jpg

If you are into the Victorian feel and look you can have a black fringed accent chair and who said the fringe only goes at the bottom? (loudly whispers NO ONE)  Black set on lighter surfaces always plays such a wonderful part of bringing some sense of character to a space. So don’t be shy and go ahead and try..( this is my cheesiest line yet lol )

And finally, the fringed chandelier!! I loved this so much. Especially for a bedroom. It has a luxurious look to it, well.. not compared to a diamond chandelier but yeah…. it’s definitely cheaper and nobody can DIY a diamond chandelier so I rest my case.

Image Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/c0/65/ee/c065ee3d1ebb6c206f50ce8c77e62d6f.jpg

Hopefully you enjoyed reading this lovely fun post, be sure to check out my other posts as well. So go ahead and enjoy yourself some interior decor fringe benefits.

The Classy Minimalist

It doesn’t take much, it just take the right kind of enough…

---

I promised myself that I’d write a tad bit more, so here I am again, excited that I followed that through, I feel like this is definitely some growth on my part.

So during my usual internet runs, I came across something I absolutely fell in love with. Let’s consider that this isn’t rare for me, I come across cute dogs all over the internet, all the time.. so I know what online love feels like. I’m pretty sure you just thinking, ” well get on with it Vee” so here goes, I choose to call this the Classy Minimalist.

I am the brand ambassador of simple living nowadays so loud colors and decor haven’t really been in my radar, With that regard, I have gotten opportunity to explore what I would consider a more simplified home decor style but this in no way makes it seem boring or behind the current times.

Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful

A lightly colored chair, against a dark wall matched with white accessories is different, but it definitely works. Quite frankly, I would have genuinely preferred the legs of the chair to be a rose gold blending with the light shade of lovely pink , breaking the monotony from the wall and adding a touch of sophistication to the whole look without a lot of effort.

Something else that made my classy minimalist list was the modern brushed brass chandeliers. They give the space such an upgrade. I have been looking for one of these for the longest time and please if you do know where I can find them, kindly comment below.

With the brushed brass chandelier, you do not need to tone down on anything in your space because they simply compliment what you have going on. They are like a perfect gold chain, goes well with anything from dress to jeans.

You really do not have to have a boring coffee table anymore. This abstract table will set your living area on fire with its tamed class and subtle yet very noticeable impact on your whole home decor.

It gives the impression of so much style and I am more than obsessed with the fact that the legs are gold and not the plain black or wooden. It takes away from the usual glass coffee tables.

Feel free to get this piece with me because I am right on that line to get me one, wherever that will be.
