Here is another great space saving bed from Flyingbed that will definitely qualify as very cool.Considered a computer bed, not the everyday combo, this beauty transforms from a desk to a twin bed without removing any of the equiptment. The" Tale" imported from Europe is perfect for a spare bed room, home office, or a sun room. Gas assisted pistons dampen the weight transfer going from the bed to desk configuration and back again for smooth opening and closing. Technically a Murphy bed, the Tale is less formal and only comes in a twin size for $3650.including the mattress.
I realize the Murphy bed is by no means new on the bedding scene. There is however always room for improvement on anything, and Flying Beds has a super idea I wanted to share with my space restricted friends. The Twirl is a combination bookcase, table, and bed that make the best possible use of a very small space. The fold out section spins, or twirls in this case, to hide the bookcase and fold out table to reveal the Murphy bed. The bed operates with ease and the locking mechanism in either position is very safe. Flyingbeds has a vast collection of beds to suit any décor in various finishes and sizes with some very innovative designs.
Here is a rather unique bed from Housefish Engineering. The Suspended Bed 2.0 is not only cool but well made from very sturdy materials. A machined aluminum platform and stainless steel tension cables keep the bed stable and free from movement. Available in bare aluminum, powdercoated in any custom color, or veneered in any type of wood. $2998 Housefish makes several other furniture items with more designs due later this year.
When setting out to purchase new furniture for the family or media room, there are several things to consider. First of all, how much wear and tear will the item get? What types of spills may I be facing? What is my expectation for how long I want to keep the furniture? In my personal experience medium grade leather is more cleanable and durable than fabric due to its protected surface and the non absorbent character. In addition to clean ability, dust and dirt stays on top of leather and can be kept to a minimum, very important for those suffering from allergies and people with pets. In addition, fabrics tend to hold smells from smoke if you enjoy cigarettes or cigars. In the off chance you get a tear, leather can be fixed usually to the original look with professional help of course. One myth I hear about leather all the time is how hot it gets. Leather does not create heat, it will simply warm to you body temperature and that's all. As for the cost, the average leather sofa runs approximately $1000 to $1200 slightly more than comparable fabric, but worth it in the long run.
For me there is nothing more appealing than hardwood floors through out a home especially the high traffic areas. The look as well as the low maintenance factor is what really made them worth the money for me. Accessorizing with some great looking area rugs is a great way to soften a decor and to add some color and personality. Momeni offers some beautiful styles in very high quality area rugs to compliment any décor, from traditional to contemporary. My personal favorite is the New Wave collection for its vibrant colors and many size and shape options.
