I am an interieor designer and I have a client who is looking for contemporary furniture to go with some new art that he bought for his living room. I think I have picked out the right stuff for his vision but I always do have some reservations when I present my ideas to my clients. It always seems to work out in the end. I think I am just not confident in my presentations. This time I decided to go with an Abbraccio sofa which is very long and a stainless steel coffee table with a great area rug underneath. For extra sitting I also have incorporated a Cierrre Chandelier armchair. The furniture is ultra modern and I think he will really like it! His art is all very modern and really makes a big statement. I want his furniture to do the same exact thing, make a big statement!

One of the things which many people complain about scented candles is the fact that there is either not enough fragrance given off by the candle or the fragrance that is produced is in fact too strong and not reminiscent of the advertised fragrance. The reason for these problems is that the candle maker is probably producing candles with the use of artificial fragrances. If you want home fragrances which have subtle, true-to-life aromas then you need to make sure that you choose products – either scented candles or fragrance diffusers – that are made with essential plant oils and extracts. These are extracted direct from the plant source by a process known as distillation and are used by luxury candle makers such as True Grace candles and yankee candles to give products fantastic fragrances. Luxury candles may cost a little it more but you will be getting a long-lasting product that smells as it should, so it will be money well spent.
