Anthroplogie Round Up

Hi All,

Anthropologie is an amazing retail which primarily does vintage, antique and handmade crafts, apparel, accessories, furniture and many other items. This has been our favourite store when it comes to picking exclusive stuff for home needs, we love this store for its sheer uniqueness and exclusivity. Here on we would like do a round up of some wonderful picks from Anthropologie and present here in this page along with how it works and where to stall it etc; Have a look!

 Named as Zonkers Club chair....this chair can be the statement chair for that special corner. The floral upholstery can bring that bright appeal for the corner and the comfortable cozy seating is the best part of this item.

Have you lately seen a re-purposed coffee table with unique material like this. The legs are rusted iron with wheels beneath and the table top is the fibre board. 

                     The summer is around the corner and heres the lovely bird bath styled trinket dish.

 The ruffled quilt in moon blue color which is quite rich in color and texture. Bring in the luxury and coziness effortlessly to your bedroom

The interlocking vase made of ceramic with a white glazing on top matches with any colored flowers.

 The spring time wall paper, it has the perfect appeal to decorate your space with the light shade peony flowers on the wall decal.

 The mirror of special craft, this would a special look for your living space or above the headboard of your bed....a big mirror is always good in small spaces as it would help look the space bigger

 Stained glass floral photo frame, goes well on side table or cabinet tops, especially during the spring and in that corner where there is direct access to sunlight, this would reflect the shine.

 Ivory etched cabinet, a luxury piece of craft, an antique styled cabinet. Perfect for a luxurious space. Topped with right accessories, it can be the best side of your room.

 The ceramic made lamp glazed with bright colour topped with a woven lamp shade, the perfect choice to go in bedsides or sofasides

 As always, our favourite picks from the cushion collection of the store., the top one with patchwork and bottom one with sequin embroidery and some decent spring colours. For those old, dull and pale sofas or cushioned chairs, top these cushions to change the look.

With the items listed above, we made a design palette for a bedroom, although it seems a bit unusual combination, we think it works for it being different. 

 While this store has best collection, there is an opinion among buyers that some items are too expensive to afford...but who said second best things aren't expensive. One thing to be kept in mind that most of these items are hand crafted and such items certainly deserve some very good piece. 

Hope you enjoyed our round up of items of our choice and we would repeat this now and then updating some of the best picks.

Green Walls

Hi

If you have come across vertical gardens or if you are growing one at your place, this may not seem a surprise. However, if you never saw one, this is surely going to awe you. Vertical gardens are Vegetation-Bearing Architectonic Structure and System. More than for its aesthetics, vertical gardens serve a very good purpose of space conserving greeneries. We are featuring some of the beautiful vertical gardens from across the world. 

Patric Blanc from France, is a pioneer in popularizing this vertical gardens. There are several works to his credit in France and around the world. In our research it is found that, Paris has the largest no.of vertical gardens.

This interior green wall is at the France embassy in New Delhi.

This exterior wall green cladding is done for Atheneaum Hotel in London. Don't you think greenery added beauty to the outsides.

As far as our research and visits concerned, Heathrow is one airport which adopts the best practices, one of which is green wall at sky team lounge.

We all are aware that Singapore is one the cleenest cities in the world, may be they are aiming for the green city too, here is the vertical garden wall at emporium shopping mall at Singapore.

Wondering if these vertical gardens only pertain to commercial places??? Not absolutely.This is a garden wall done for an apartment terrace.

If you ever had a chance to visit the Anthropologie Store at Regent street, London, you will love the green wall inside...our personal favourite.

The wall might seem good and interesting but if you want to adopt one or know the technique, here are the detailed illustrations. 

Thanks to Patric Blanc, for introducing and popularizing a sustainable concept to conserve space and yet have greenery around. 

There is a simple technique to get one in small spaces using recycled plastic bottles something similar like the one below...find the details here.

Cheers
