Moving into a new flat can be exciting and fun, especially when it means freedom of choice to decorate it the way you would like to decorate it.

My friend Cindy had recently had her flat redecorated and it looked amazing. The color combination and the furniture were simple but looked amazing and the minute you walked into the living room you got this lived in feel, making the flat cozy and welcoming.

So, when I moved into my new flat, I decided to redecorate each room in a different style. The master bedroom was decorated in the Victorian style, the guest bedroom was decorated with a garden theme to it and the nursery was in shades of blue with stars and a lot of cartoon posters in it.

The kitchen was in the French style, with a rustic look to it. The furniture was wooden and we decided to put up pictures and hang the pots and pans on the walls.

When it came to the living room I thought it was necessary to give it a warm lived in feel to it. We decided on rugs and cane furniture for the living room. That evening I invited Cindy over for tea to get her take on the way I had decorated my home. She loved the way the house had been decorated, and suggested: why don’t you use bamboo lampshades, this will help in adding a touch of class to your living room and sure enough it did.
