Recently I posted some of my interior ambitions sharing my favourite decorative pieces from Fabrics & Papers. Well, from decoration to statement furniture, I bring you some great websites that offer the ability to customize the look and feel of your furniture.

There are two things I love about this website. The fact that the furniture is not mass produced and the three step process allowing you to select your shape, size and fabric. The most important thing to me, when I finally get to have my own place, is to be unique. At least this way, the likelihood of someone having the exactly same sofa as me is lessened. They have a huge range of contemporary sofas, here are a couple of my favourites:

It may not be practical but this red small sofa makes a statement and is perfect for an office waiting room or an additional seating for guests in your living room. Love it!

The combination of pinks and purples are just divine on this blocked corner sofa. I guess by being given the option to select your own fabric you really can be as unique as you like! Part of me just wants to play giant Tetris with this one. That should keep my friends entertained when they come over.

2. Knesting – Re-covering Ikea Furniture
If you haven’t got the budget to buy new furniture and feel a little bored with your old Ikea furniture, then Knesting could have the answer. They specialise in fabric covers for Ikea furniture specifically and can turn this Klippan sofa…

3. Interior Design Online – Make Room Plans!
For anyone with a little money to throw at their interior design project, this could be the solution for you. This is also great for any ‘Monica’s’ out there that really like to plan everything out. Basically you can create your own interior design room plan and include elevation drawings like this one:

It’s almost like playing SIMS with your own home. Can you imagine being able to play with ideas and switch and change them until you find the perfect look for your home? Well now you don’t have to, you can make it a reality with the help of these guys.

4. Make Your Rooms Energy Efficient

Another way to update your room is by updating your windows! You would be surprised at how much warmth you can lose via old windows, so if swapping for UPVC Windows, then you may even find your heating bills reduced and who doesn’t love a bright, white window to make a room feel new and fresh.

What do You Think?

Whatever you decide to do I hope I helped inspire you a little. I would love to hear from anyone who has recently decorated their home using customised techniques like these. My chance to redesign my home may be a way off yet but a girl can dream!

I’m not entirely sure what was going through the mind of Urban Outfitters when they decided to stock these two t-shirts, and I know the second one is old news now but it’s making my blood boil.

Not only have I suffered from anorexia and depression for almost half my life I have also lost friends to both diseases and it’s no joke.

Nor is it a fashion statement.

I know these were probably intended in a light-hearted manner, but that in itself makes me rage. Nothing about mental health problems is a joke. Live one day in the life of a sufferer and THEN tell me these are a good idea.

I’m so angry right now that I can’t even type this properly. I just know that from now on I won’t  be supporting Urban Outfitters and it’s renewed my desire to raise awareness of mental health problems during the rest of my life.
