Sony’s Bravia E4000 series seems to be more of a home fashion statement than a technological one from Sony’s popular LCD TV brand. Designed to integrate via wall-mounting right into your home decor, the upcoming 32- and 40-inch Full HD Bravia’s are meant to be an “integral part of your personal living space alongside other framed works of art.” Midnight Sky, Aluminum, Pearly White, and Dark Walnut are the unique frame color options that allow the E4000 models “to blend effortlessly with contemporary or traditional interiors”. Not surprisingly the E4000 series features Sony’s Picture Frame Mode which allow you to display your photos on the TV’s display via USB or choose between the Bravia’s built-in masterpieces from the likes of Van Gogh. A smaller 26-inch model will also be available, meant for desktop display, and with the ability to meld into your collection of framed desktop photographs. No availability dates or pricing info have been released yet, nor has a list of full specs, but we’ll keep you updated.

Since conservatories have so many windows, choosing conservatory blinds is extremely important. The blinds are a major part of the room’s decor and can really help create a strong, beautiful design.

Since a conservatory is almost all windows, even a small amount of heat coming in each window can really increase the room’s temperature to an uncomfortable level. In addition, the sun’s rays can damage furniture and fade upholstery over time. People also buy blinds for the conservatory to provide privacy from prying eyes. Additionally, many homeowners use blinds as design elements to help give the room a finished look. When you think of roller blinds for the conservatory, you may be thinking of the unattractive white vinyl roller blinds that were common several years ago. However, modern roller blinds are available in a wide range of colors and can have attractive decorative trims.

Blending the curving forms and decorative art found in antique furniture with the simplicity of modern minimalism, the Nouveau White Vanity achieves a unique elegance. Standing on sculptural sweeping legs, the Nouveau White Vanity supports thin white vanity top which seamlessly sweeps into an elegant basin. The light cabinet front features two simple doors finished in a nearly textured pattern.

Modern bathrooms have come a long way from busy carpeting and wall paper. Instead, designs are intended to create a space that is minimalist but still inviting and functional.

Luxury bathrooms make the most of high-quality materials. Fabulous marble, textured tile and decorative stone add fabulous character to your bathroom, but are hard and cold. Highly efficient, the heat transfers through the stone and tile to provide a warm surface to walk on. No longer must you step out onto a cold icy floor; instead it is warm and soothes aching feet. In fact Radiant heat flooring can heat your bathroom from floor to ceiling, but without overheating and drying out the surrounding air. Invisible heating that seamlessly fits your bathroom design underfloor heating will make you smile every winter morning.
