History:

Lampe Berger is the oldest and most effective way to remove bacteria and odours from the air you breathe. The original Lampe Berger lamp was designed in France in 1898 by pharmaceutical dispenser, Maurice Berger, for use in hospitals as a way of removing air-borne bacteria and combating sepsis.

Redesigned by famous designers, embraced by leading figures from the art community (Coco Chanel, Picasso, Colette and Jean Cocteau), it was then fitted with a perfuming function and gradually became a style icon, appreciated for its sleek design and its delicate fragrances.

The Lampe Berger is a functional and attractive accessory which has spanned the years, purifying indoor air and adding an elegant or contemporary touch to every home.

It was challenging to compile a list of living room decor trends for 2020 because it seems like almost anything goes right now and the off-trend has become what's trendy!

Regardless, we accepted this challenge and found some stunning and totally customization looks that could transform you living room!

We hope these trends inspire you as much as they inspired us!

1- Dark Wood Everywhere:

In previous years, light wood was the star but in 2020 dark wood is taking center stage. It will give your space added elegance and a touch of luxury.
This dark wood looks stunning in living room furniture, flooring, accessories and even ceilings. 

We are loving the use of natural materials right now.
Wicker, jute and rattan provide greater amounts of texture to an interior and help make the space feel cozy and welcoming.

A Mix of Textures:

The texture in interior décor is generally added by the use of fabrics, though wood, natural elements and even painted surfaces can also contribute. Keep your bedroom full of life with an interesting array of textures. Use mixed-fabric comforters, carpet or area rugs, wooly throw pillows or blankets, plants or other natural elements, textured lampshades or carved picture frames.

Gorgeous Peacock Blue:
Peacock blue is a colour that really stands out. One of the most common ways to bring it into your home is by finding multiple accessories such as light fixtures, area rugs, and throw blankets to decorate throughout your space. A peacock blue accent wall in a mostly neutral room would also be gorgeous. When paired with grey, white, or wood tones, this blue really pops.

Christmas is traditionally the period of peak consumption, when we go all out on gifts and food to impress our families and guests. You can, however, have a more sustainable Christmas season without having to sacrifice any magic or festivity. 

1- Shop local - Many gifts in today’s marketplace come from halfway around the world, and the impact of transportation contributes significantly to greenhouse emissions and global warming. Local businesses often have a much smaller carbon footprint than larger companies. Local businesses are also owned by people who invest in their communities and genuinely care about the community's future and welfare.

Gold accent pieces: Gold is back with a bang in both the fashion world and the home décor world. Shiny gold side tables, picture frames, planters, and candle holders will look beautiful in your space this season. Don’t be afraid to search for pieces at your local thrift shop or to pick up a can of gold spray paint and do some DIY projects.

Christmas will be here before you know it. Here are a few ideas of creative gifts for the moms in our lives.

1) Home cleaning services: Moms are busy - whether it's work, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the grandkids (or the kids). Why not treat the woman who gives and gives with a professional deep house cleaning? It would be one less thing on her plate!

Using the wrong pillow can cause headaches, back pain, and sore necks. Here is a list of tips and tricks to get the perfect restful night’s sleep. Before you start browsing for that perfect pillow, you first need to ask yourself which position you generally sleep in. Since we tend to move a lot in our sleep, the easiest way to determine this is to actively pay attention to what position you’re in when you first wake up.
