Yes! That’s right! Unicorn Themed Cafe is finally opened in our very own DUBAI. Unicorn Sweet Vibes, cafe and dessert parlor is located in Damac’s The Vogue building in Business Bay. Off late I have been hearing quite a lot about this place and definitely wanted to check it out as soon as possible.

All your magical childhood dreams and fantasies will come true the minute you enter this place. You have to visit this shop that serves creative ice-creams, ice-cream sandwiches, and milkshakes that are not only a delight to eat, they’re a delight to look at too!

I immediately fell in love with their colorful interiors. Pastel colors have been used on their ceiling and furniture. Walls and floor are in neutral color with a lot of natural light coming in. It’s a very calm and relaxing ambiance with unicorn decor and accessories all over the place. I loved their art wall which is so beautifully done by call.it.art. My most favorite area was the two swings in one of their corners which really brings out the child in you.  Check out their below interiors.

  • UBE
  • Cookie Monster
  • Can You Handle This
  • UB & J
  • Unicorn

Ever wondered what the top five interior design styles are? Infographic fans and design fans alike will find this descriptive style synopsis not only helpful but also fun. This cool infographic explains the difference between a “modern” and a “contemporary” design style before moving on to traditional, industrial and classic. Do you prefer clean lines or rather live in a home with floral-patterned wallpaper? Do you vibrate when you see heavy carved furniture and find yourself looking for symmetry in everything?

Then you might be the traditional type. But there’s always room for more and mixing styles is one of the hottest trends. That’s because we tend to grow and gain new knowledge, open our eyes and get attached to more than just one style – that’s what an eclectic style is for! Now that you know the trendiest interior design styles, are you curious to see the differences between bachelor & bachelorette pads in another fun infographic?

There are no hard-and-fast trules when decorating your home! Feel free to mix and match design stylesto create a look that is Eclectic – derived from multiple styles/sources and reflect your personal style.

Color your home can bring life and excitement to otherwise dull areas. Why do we choose particular colors for Interior Designing? It is because we either like them or have seen them in a magazine or someone’s home. But, some of us have trouble deciding on which colors we really want to use in our own home.

So, what do you do? Look around the room and see what color is predominant in your furniture  and fabrics. Now choose a predominant color from the ones you see and that will be your base color for the room. It will also be the interior wall paint color

How Do Colors Make You Feel?

This is a very important element when creating a design. Colors are an extension of who you are and express emotions with clarity. What do you want out of the space? Do you want to evoke energy, or rather have it appear more relaxed? Is the space for everyone in the home or just you? Knowing this is the first step, and then using color to create a personal palette of style is next.

Yellow = Idealist, Self-fulfillment, Lofty dreams.
Green = Moral, Balance, Caring, companion.
Blue-Green = Sensitive, Exacting and sensitive.
Blue = Secure, Conservative, Trusting and loyal friend.
Purple = Polite, Vain and non-impressionable.
Lavender = Social, Civilized and neat.
Brown = Dependable, Conservative by nature.
Red = Aggressive, Vigorous, Impulsive in your mood and actions.
Burgundy = Ambition, Conscience and strength.
Pink = Romantic, Charm, Softness and warmth.
Orange =Adventuress, Good-natured and charming
White = Simplicity, Neat and immaculate.
Gray = Cautious and non-committal.
Black = Dignified, Sophisticated and mysterious.

However, don’t run out and buy the color that matches your personality if you already have colors in your home. These personalities are just a non-scientific way to look at colors and how and why people choose them. But, keep in mind that some colors don’t work in all rooms; so be careful how you choose them.

Warmer and Cooler Colors

Warmer colors like Reds, Oranges and Yellows create intimate spaces, although they may be bright and colorful, but they are homely and alive. These colors bring energy to the room so they are good for living rooms, kitchens and dining rooms, where people often gather to eat, play or relax.

Cooler colors like blues, greens and purples are best at creating relaxed spaces that are soothing and calm. They work great for bedrooms, kid’s rooms and bathrooms, since you sleep and relax in both. But if you are like me and love to have a crisp, cool and open space, than cool colors are your best bet. If you are worried the room will look too cold, then there are many ways to warm it up with textures, furniture and accessories

Both warm and cool colors can open a space but in different ways. Cool colors help give a space a clean, airy and modern feel. With the help of whites, it’s refreshingly brightened. Warm colors stimulate a space so the energy they create can make a room seem larger than it is.

I hope this blog will help you all in choosing exact colors for your HOME. Remember, Right colors at Right places, will make your HOME, a place to be.  Till then *Cheers*…..

Blackberry Mobile Phone’s tagline is one of my favorite one….
” I LOVE what I DO “ and that’s exactly what I do…Designing!! 
As a Science student in the High School, I was obviously interested in Engineering and Technology. But somewhere I was also very much interested in Creative stuff. I had interest in Designing my own clothes and accessories as well as cushions for my bedroom. I always used to draw while explaning any of my ideas. Later after my 12th grade, as I started applying to colleges, my father showed me an article from the newspaper, that talked about the NEW University in Dubai offering Interior Design 3-year Degree Course. And That was it!!! There was No Turning back from there. I started enjoying the whole new world of Designing and Creativity. The words “Interior Designer” on the pages in front of me, just became the happiness to my destination.
That’s plenty for now. Here’s what you can expect from Upcoming
