‘Tis the season to prepare delicious food! For some, hanging decorations and wrapping gifts are ideal ways to express holiday creativity. For others, it’s all about the food! In fact, just as you would thoughtfully arrange decorative items on a shelf or consider the layout for your favorite room, you can put a high level of artistry into the preparation of your holiday table. The Holiday BuffetIf you’re hosting a group, a buffet table may be the answer. After all, guests can serve themselves, freeing you up for quality visits with friends and family. One of the most decadent entertaining trends in recent years is the designer buffet table. In fact, hosts and hostesses revel in each detail of the display, crafting tablescapes filled with decor and beautifully prepared spreads of food. Below we see a Christmas buffet table from HGTV.com. Note the metallic touches, and the way bursts of red roses add color. Thoughtfully assembled bites of food tempt guests! In an undeniably Christmas-themed dessert buffet, stripes and swirls spread holiday cheer. Decorated cupcakes and other edibles are strategically placed, as are decorations such as candy topiary trees. Get all the details at Amanda’s Parties to Go: Some hosts dress up their holiday spreads with an assortment of eye-catching nibbles. But equally eye-catching is a streamlined collection of bite-sized treats arranged in neat rows on square and rectangular platters, as shown below. Check out all the details at Milk From Corn. Don’t assume that Christmas buffets have to feature colors like red and green. Sometimes the unexpected choices can make quite an impression! The “Vintage Pastel Christmas Dessert Table” below was created by Glory of Glorious Treats. Vintage pottery holds flowers and ornaments, while apothecary jars contain candy in pinks and blues. When the desserts are this pretty, all you have to do is provide them with a neat display space–they will sell themselves! [from Hostess with the Mostess] The Plate as a CanvasWe now move from tablescapes to platescapes. The images below feature plates that may as well be works of art! Like this Christmas tree vegetable platter from Betty Crocker, shown below: Beautifully arranged food makes all the difference. Don’t forget the value of an herb garnish, a special sauce, or a scoop of a delicious side presented in a way that makes guests take notice and appreciate each bite. [Photo by Tom Dubravec via Like Croatia] To create this dish, mix chocolate chips, marshmallows and other goodies into your favorite vanilla ice cream, then place scoops in ramekins or silicon muffin cups. Let the ice cream harden again in the freezer, then remove the scoops from their containers and set them on plates with chocolate syrup and fresh strawberries. Irresistible! A detailed recipe can be found at Bite-Sized Thoughts: Don’t forget that each cup can be a canvas too–get creative with your Christmas drinks! Below, we see raspberry-infused hot chocolate topped off with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Details can be found at HGTV.com, and if you seek further embellishment, add some fresh mint or chocolate shavings! Sometimes the food says it all, and no special arrangement is necessary. For example, the parmesan- and basil-stuffed tomatoes below have not yet been placed on a serving platter. But their vibrant color makes them naturally holiday-ready! Check out the recipe details at The Church Cook. And if each cracker is a canvas in itself, you don’t have to worry about garnishing the plate! In the next image, we see Sparkling Cranberry Brie Bites from Around the Table. They are perfectly enticing on a white platter.

If the winter blues have suddenly crept into your home, you don’t have to let it hold you and your family members hostage for a long time. There are various ways to spruce up your home and bring in some life into it through the use of springtime colors. You can do this by having the accent walls or entire rooms painted in spring colors like greens, pinks, yellows, oranges and turquoise. You can even incorporate these colors in your window treatments, wallpapers and bed linens. Yes, bringing springtime colors into your winter home with the following creative ideas will surely prove to be very helpful at the end of the season. Whether it is in the living room, master bedroom or children’s rooms, you will love them. Play with Color in your Bedroom:When you infuse the interiors of your bedroom with bright springtime colors like deep oranges, greens, turquoise, pinks and yellows, the winter blues is sure to quickly take a leave from your home. If you don’t want to go bold, you can mute the colors with traditional winter colors like gray, chocolate and black, but lightly. Lighten up your Living Room:You may not know it but letting in natural light into your living room gives it a sort of springy feel, even though it is winter. You can also add more light through the use of brighter lighting fixtures and installation of sheer window treatments. You can also make the room lighter by replacing the woolen throws with bright lace pieces and the copper flower vases with glass vases. Add Floral Patterned Linens:The children’s rooms also need springy touches to them. In this regard, there is the need to replace the wool and fur fabrics with floral patterned coverlets, linens and duvet covers. With floral sheets and flower-printed covers for the pillows, the children’s room will be definitely lively, winter or not. Incorporate Plants:Yet another simple way of bringing in spring into your home, you can go for the very colorful Kalachoe or if you prefer sweet-smelling plants, you can go for the Jasmine. In your dining area, you can have assorted fruits like pomegranates, apples and oranges on the table to add more color to that part of the home. Even though your winter home may feel cold and dreary, the thought of nature inspired colors will warm up any room in your home!
Villas S2 designed ever so sensibly by MARC Architects is located on Ijburg Island, east of the city of Amsterdam and staying in touch with the beauty and the elegance of this historic European city, the home is both smart and tasteful to the core. Envisioned to serve a single family in a sumptuous fashion, Villa S2 holds within its walls everything that you would expect to see in a contemporary home that stays visually connected with its beautiful surroundings at all times. White stone tiles, frame-less three-layered glass partitions and frugal use of wood have ensured that the interiors of this home exude a chic and fashionable look, while flowing spaces and unobstructed visual connectivity with the green lawn and the water body next to it promise a tranquil and pleasant atmosphere. The presence of wooden screens means there is privacy on offer when needed despite the extensive use of glass throughout and with green additions like solar panels on the roof and daft LED lighting, the home is complete in every sense of the word.
The clean and well defined interiors that are accentuated by the lovely arrangement of ergonomic décor and cool pendant lighting fixtures are an asset to the Villa, while the elevated patio area and the ‘subterranean’ guest house give the house its uniqueness. Simple and sensible all the way! [spotted on: designboom] |
