Sitting on stones may not sound comfortable, but it can be along with being stylish. We found this stone chair at Interior Design. The Maluka chair is covered in fiber glass and smooth pebbles. Although it looks like it should be placed right in the middle of a pond, it is perfectly functional in your home. Carlo, the designer, created a matching Maluka coffee table if you would like even more texture that can be found on the website.

Updating Home Entertainment

These days home entertainment consoles are getting more elaborate. Having your flat screen TV mounted alone in an entertainment system is on its way out the door.  Today, the consoles come with more than a cutout for your viewing pleasure.  These modern pieces found on Trendir provide for all electronic needs and then some. Some units feature side shelving and work stations in the back. Along with the new additions are remote controlled screens to hide your TV when you aren’t watching.  So instead of the TV being the focal point even when it’s turned off, a glass panel will camouflage it add a contemporary edge to your room.

Usually there is a just a small closet under them used for storing coats.  We found an article at ChicTip that shows some stylish ways to use the space under your stairs. The designs range from storage space, bookcases, extra bathrooms to even a place for kitchen appliances. So if you ever wished you could pull some space out of thin air wish no more, just look under your stairs.
