One of the disadvantages of living in an overpopulated city relies on the rationalization of space and the high cost of the square meter. Another one is that in the metropolis,  a fashion and culture core, trends are abundant and they establish like 20th century Latin-American dictatorships and, what is new today, will be no longer tomorrow (this is the 1920’s artistic avant-garde paradox, now called historical avant-gardes). How to maintain ourselves updated, contemporary? If we accept that the word cool is an empty category that must be filled, we will understand the reason why we end up accumulating objects that have become obsolete or out of date (ironically, the more modern the object is, the faster it will become old, and so, after a year –to be optimistic an not to say six months or two- we must purchase a new mobile phone for ours, new and now old, is G3 and not G4: the fatality of numbers is inevitable).

Next, we will analyze the best options to furnish reduced spaces, keeping in mind as well current interior design trends and furniture fashion; fashions and trends that, luckily, are kept stable for a longer period of time.

When it is about apartments and small apartments, one of the biggest challenges relies in furnishing a 1 bedroom and a 2 bedroom apartment (bathroom, kitchen and two rooms): to unite spaces and turning them multifunction and polyvalent. Obviously, the bathroom will still be a bathroom and the kitchen a kitchen; the majority will as well use a room as a bedroom and the second room as a living and dining room.

To optimize house spacing functionality is indispensable. To optimize house spacing intelligently, besides functionality we will also use illusion: the illusion of space and spaciality.

Transparent Glass Furniture –in spite of black furniture being the imposing trend- comes in hand to help generating the illusion of spaciality and to complement it with functionality, a transparent or frosted extending table . Depending on room angles, a round table (not extending), a square table or a rectangular table can be used.

Making the most out of corners: Corners are the most untamable spaces, especially when trying to furnish them. Nevertheless, there is furniture specifically designed for cornered spaces. Placing a corner TV Stand might be –depending on the room- a strategic election: in this angle you can increase TV visibility from every point in the room. It is also to be kept in mind the height of the furniture: low TV Stands will not only be more comfortable for keeping your eyes leveled with the TV but will as well reduce the wall space used by both the stand an the TV. A corner PC Desk is also a useful way to optimize space and, for students, a PC desk with shelving for books, folders and photocopies.

Storing: As it was said before, object accumulation is one of the modern man’s characteristics (as well as of ferrets). It is not only about clothing, books, CD’s, but also all those little thing that are necessary but annoying: wires, plugs, batteries, brochures, bills, etc, etc, etc. Storing furniture is a good solution (CD Racks , bookcases, display cabinets and sideboards), but in rationed spaces a lot of furniture will not fit or will otherwise overload the room. This is the reason why each piece of furniture should be carefully chosen with awareness not only of style but of storing capability. Not to overfurnish the living-dining room, every dusted nook must be seized. Underbed storage like drawers for the room, hanging shelves for books and magazines, or corner shelf units are some examples.

• Decoration: For some, not feeling guilty for not exhibiting in their homes little objects as statuettes, ashtrays and general ornaments when they are given as a gift. For others, trying to resist the temptation of acquiring these types of objects once they have accumulated many, unless you are trying to accomplish a modern and cloying rococo style. A couple of ornaments as statues or jars are not damaging but it should always be kept in mind the existence of other more apt decoration objects: paintings are one of them, since they use wall space instead of the little available surface. Mirrors are an ace under the sleeve and the great illusionist trick for they not only amplify light but also multiply spaces. Versailles’ Palace Hall of Mirrors is a great example: the mirrors reproduce the windows in front of them turning themselves into windows that look to the Palace garden. (For mirror fans, mirror furniture is also widely available in today’s markets)

Many times it is considered inevitable to associate fashion and design with frivolity and shallowness, above everything because of some decorators that we may see on TV that use words as “gorgeous”, “fantastic” or “fabulous” repeatedly. Yet, we must understand that interior design can also be seen as a means to reach “inner peace”: zen and feng shui trends account for the faith in interior design to induce mental states. Without being extremists, and without stating that interior design will solve all our problems (including the mental ones), we are going to accept, with naturalist writers, that the surroundings determines the individual. Since we are already influenced enough by society, family, education –or the lack of it-, religion, the media and well, the spatiotemporal place that we occupy (always remembering that we are born into a system and a state of things that is imposed to us and that is very difficult to change), the only place where we can choose what to do and how to do it with absolute freedom is in our homes, our inviolable private and intimate spaces.

An important aspect of interior decorations, stained glass suncatchers have set a true fashion trend in terms of design and innovative artistic representations for home use and more. Stained glass suncatchers are hung indoors so that they may capture and reflect the light from a window. Whether abstract or themed in design, such items are very often handcrafted, which is why they easily touch upon the realm of artistic representations. Due to the artistic refinement, the subtle interplay of lights and colors, stained glass suncatchers and wind chimes are now labeled among the most popular decoration items both for indoor and outdoor use.

If you get the chance to make a search online and get a look at the many designs and patterns specific to all sorts of stained glass suncatchers, you’ll be surprised to find magnificent collections of items that add sparkle and beauty to the windows of one’s home. Cut from stained glass, suncatchers are crafted according to certain techniques that make them time-enduring. Colors are present inside the glass molecules, so that the chances of peeling or getting scraped off are nil; even after years they will have the brightness of the first days. Waterproof and safe, stained glass suncatchers are usually great for decorating children’s rooms for instance.

In terms of design, stained glass suncatchers offer a wide range of themes: from cartoon characters, flowers, birds and fish to abstract artistic representations to be used in more sophisticated decorations. Decorating the kids’ room may be the easiest thing to do given the fact that the offer is immensely rich when it comes to stained glass suncatchers; even for themed rooms, there is absolutely no difficulty to find the right patterns. Such items definitely make the right choice when it comes to creating a cozy place for the child to feel safe and familiar.

The stained glass suncatchers used for other home windows may be more difficult to choose; the design and style of the decorative item is really important in terms of correct matching with the rest of the decor. Hence, it goes without saying that the colors have to match as well. Most people choose artistic abstract or non-figurative representations rather than flowers, fish and other patterns. Such stained glass suncatchers are highly visible in the room, even through the curtains, as they act as sun filters, contributing to the creation of a certain atmosphere. Do not go for dark or vividly colored stained glass suncatchers as you may not be pleased with the overall aesthetic effect; it’s better to stick to the classic first and then try more daring items.
