7 Bookshelf Ideas That Will Please Every Type of Reader

No matter how big or small your home is, there’s no arguing that a TV unit is one of the most important aspects. After all, the first thing that a person notices when they enter your house is your TV unit.

Like Joey Tribbiani says, “If you don’t have a TV, or in this case, a TV unit, what’s all your furniture even pointed at?” And speaking of Joey, we all know how invested he was in building his own entertainment unit. Now, if you don’t know who Joey is, we are judging you.

We are judging you more if you have ample space and don’t own a TV unit. But, if not having enough space is the only reason that’s stopping you from getting one, we are here to help you. Here are our best finds in TV units for small spaces that will glam up your living room design while elevating your aesthetic quotient in front of your guests.

You have proudly designed an exquisite interior for your living room, decorated the walls, renovated the workspace, and can’t get enough of the ‘home selfies’ for your Instagram! But before you believe that your house ‘seems too complete’, just like Jack Durden’s condo in Fight Club, think again. Is there something you might be forgetting? Don’t worry, nothing wrong with your gas stove (unlike Jack’s!) because we are talking about your entire kitchen!

Gone are the days when kitchens used to be boring and traditional dwelling places in the house; a necessary evil, so to speak. With the elegance and style that contemporary modular kitchens offer, alongside their incredible functionality and organization, the kitchen could well become the prime destination in your next house tour for the guests!

Innovative Trends and Design Ideas in Modular Kitchens

When it comes to designing the perfect modular kitchen for your house, much depends on the original dimensions of the place. Having said that, there still remains a lot of scope for creativity, in terms of choosing the right layout as well as picking elements like colors, cabinets, and other inventive designs. Here’s a list of everything trending in the world of modular kitchen ideas in 2025 that you can consider for your house.

U-Shaped Modular Kitchen

If you are the kind of person who likes a lot of breathing space while shuffling between beating eggs and preparing color buttermilk for your ultimate Red Velvet Cake, this modern modular kitchen design is for you!

Amazingly popular among large homes and big families, U-shaped kitchens can offer brilliant storage options with three-wall units and lots of free space. This design is also great for those who like having a chat while they are cooking. That means virtually everyone!

L-Shaped Modular Kitchen

Probably the most popular design among the lot, L-shaped kitchens are beautiful to look at without giving you a bonafide headache about the space they demand. With the two arms of the unit alongside adjacent walls, you get a lot of room to move about with zero restrictions in your workflow. You can do the cooking and washing at different ends and also have easy access to the refrigerator.

Stainless Steel Kitchen

If you appreciate minimal hassles with your cooking, in terms of maintenance and umm… after-cooking work (what some may call ‘cleaning’), this simple modular kitchen design idea is especially suited for you. Easy to maintain, corrosion-free, and incredibly user-friendly, stainless steel kitchens are also highly durable and eco-friendly.

Parallel Modular Kitchen

These types of kitchens are a special favorite amongst chefs. It consists of two long parallel lines with cabinets for storage and a walkway in between. So if you like to keep things a little professional with your cooking, say, for example, keeping different counters for wet cooking and presentation, a parallel Modular kitchen is going to solve a lot of problems for you.

With easy installation, even in smaller apartments, you can now channel your inner Gordon Ramsay any day of the week!

Matte Theme Kitchen

Highly trending among new-age homeowners, the matte finish on this kitchen design gives it an outstanding class and elegance. Use black, white, or gray color for the counter and match the rest with the living room palette for more appeal.

Island Modular Kitchen

If you like the way The Wire detectives McNulty and Bunk chill out after a long day’s work in local hangout spots, you can pretty much recreate the same feeling with this modular kitchen design for small kitchens!

The island modular kitchen design allows for a counter space inside the kitchen area, with various designs available according to your needs and budget. While you can use the area as a small dining nook, it is also excellent for food preparations and installing storage cabinets without hindering the cooking space.

Peninsular Modular Kitchen

Similar to island kitchens, this particular design only differs in terms of the position of the island, which is neither away nor inside the kitchen, but floats on the periphery. You can install the counter with a sink and even use it for dining permanently. This is an excellent small modular kitchen design, since according to the space and requirements, you can also get creative with the shape of the island! Tahiti, anyone?

Tropical Kitchen

If you can’t get enough of nature, then tropical modular kitchens can create the right ambiance for your cooking space. With this design, you might feel like you’re literally cooking outdoors (but with a lot more cooking options than Bear Grylls in Man vs Wild)!

With tropical plants, lots of wood, and traditional design, this modular kitchen type is a typical favorite among beach homes and vacation homes.

Our homes are an extension of our personality, which means every home decor, hue, and light plays a role in reflecting our true selves. While the concept of layering of lights has caught on, with everyone opting for a mix of ascent lighting, hanging lights, wall sconces, and more, chandeliers add the real je-ne-sais-quoi to any home.

Unlike other lighting fixtures, the role of a chandelier for home is to serve as the center of the house or a room, as if it were a jewel, or a piece of art, serving oodles of aesthetic appeal. (And not as a falling chandelier of doom, unless you are Dobby, and your target is Bellatrix). They are exquisite pieces of lights that can add drama to any space, be it your dining room, bedroom, living room, or kitchen.

So, how should you choose a chandelier for home, and what kind of chandelier designs should you opt for? Read on to find out!

5 Factors to Consider Before Buying a Chandelier for Home

Having to choose from a plethora of chandelier design choices can feel formidable.

Should you opt for modern chandeliers or Victorian chandeliers? Should your chandelier have a contemporary feel, or should it be designed around the current sustainability trend? Or should you break the golden design rule of fitting a chandelier light in the center of the room and, instead, go for an accented look in the room’s corner?

…Ok, maybe the task is a little daunting after all. But not anymore! Time to demystify the process of choosing the perfect chandelier for home that not only screams glamor but fits right in with your décor.

Match the Chandelier Light to Your Design Theme

We get it. The Great Gatsby has woken the 1920s socialite in you, and you would love to have those Swarovski crystals on your ceiling. But do they really match your home? Are you a minimalist or a sucker for Bohemian decor? Then, maybe what you should be looking for in a chandelier design is the use of shades, beads, metals, wrought irons, or something sculptural, but not crystals that would stick out like a sore thumb, despite all that glimmer.

Basically, your chandelier for home must gel with your wallpaper, furnishings, and window drapes. Unless, of course, you want to overhaul your space and experiment by mixing Victorian and modern design elements—in that case, let us not keep you. Hey, you do You!

Pick the Right Chandelier Light Size

Imagine a tiny space decked up with a statement chandelier. Doesn’t sound quite right, does it? Could even feel claustrophobic for some. While an enormously-sized glitzy chandelier would feel right at home in Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, your home might need something smaller unless you are looking for a swanky farmhouse chandelier to leave your guests awe-stricken.

Typically, chandeliers must fit in with your room’s dimensions. The right size is generally a summation of your room’s length and breadth in feet, which is then converted into inches. Of course, playing around with chandelier sizes doesn’t hurt if being a stickler for rules is marring your design aesthetic.

Choose an Impeccable Placing Position

Don’t go, “Oh, a chandelier, let’s place it in the middle of the ceiling” and be done with it. Instead, hang a modern chandelier in your room’s corner to create a reading nook. Or make it a functional ceiling light by placing it over your vanity.

You can elevate your home even further by installing kitchen chandeliers, or a Victorian chandelier that gets reflected in your bathroom mirror. Or even Jhumar lights overlooking your dining area. In short, all areas are game, except the floor, unless you are Katy Perry, wondering what you did last night, which, to be honest, is a little concerning too.

Be Cognizant of Ceiling Height

Imagine you extend your arm for a food bowl and (bam!) get hit by your dining area chandelier. Or when you are stretching after cooking delicious appetizers, and whoops, your hands hit your candle kitchen island chandelier. The problem isn’t the chandelier design but the height at which you hang your chandelier light.

Ideally, a chandelier for home shouldn’t be hung too low unless you have a double-height ceiling or are planning to act out The Phantom of Opera. Having said that, suspending a dozen naked CFL lamps at various heights from your high-sloped wooden ceiling doesn’t sound half bad. Of course, it isn’t exactly a chandelier, but it twinkles just the same.

Sync it With Your Room’s Lighting Fixtures

Whether your room reflects a soft ethereal atmosphere or stimulates activity will largely depend on how your chandelier for home illuminates. If your room gets a lot of natural light, then your chandelier light could do with fewer bulbs, and you could safely opt for a rattan chandelier design.

But if you are going for a warm yet ‘grandeur and expensive’ look, then opt for Victorian chandeliers or Jhumar lights. Better yet, add dimmers to your chandeliers for when you are in the mood for love or war.

Sparkle Up Your Rooms with Chandeliers from Pepperfry

If you, like Sia, wish to swing from the chandelier, please don’t. Instead, just dream up your picture-perfect décor and scroll through Pepperfry to bring your vision to light. From sleek, contemporary chandeliers that are pocket-friendly, to candle chandeliers, to Jhumar lights, we have got them all. Shop our unique chandeliers for home that scream glamor and awe today!

Admit it. There is no worse feeling than sitting in a living room – otherwise complete with exquisite furnishing and excellent decor – and staring at a blank wall! On the other hand, there is nothing more satisfying than a statement-making designer-approved living room wall that is guaranteed to grab all the eyeballs and attention.

Now, if your living room has a blank wall, trying to make it hide behind your back when the guests arrive may look cute (on your part, at least), but it never works. Instead, think about the infinite potential the space contains, which is still waiting to be explored. That wall is an opportunity for you to stamp your artistic personality and create something original that even designers Nate and Jeremiah would be proud of! Here are some living wall decor ideas for you.

Boost New Life Into Your Empty Walls With These Mind-Blowing Ideas

Artwork

What is exactly so mind-blowing about artwork, you ask? After all, probably every house you visit has got some kind of ‘art’ lifelessly hanging from the walls.

But here’s the rub. What’s not authentic, can seldom be inspiring! Go for wall art that strikes a chord with your personality. You can even use a single oversized painting to make the wall stand out and offer a minimalist contrast to the rest of the space.

‘Do It With Mirrors’

No, we are not just talking about the classic Agatha Christie whodunit here! That’s because besides being excellent for plotting crime, mirrors can also be handy decor elements.

Several small mirror pieces arranged in the style of a salon on the wall can help in reflecting light and giving the illusion of a brighter space. For effect, you can even go for a single oversized iridescent mirror.

Bookshelves

Ah, finally, a place for the complete Jason Bourne or Harry Potter collection to get together in one place! If you’re a passionate book lover, there is nothing better to light up a dull living room wall than some aesthetic floating bookshelves.

This small living room idea can add life to your living room besides elevating your collection of books from somewhere neglected in a corner to the center of the living room. It can also house sculptures, knick-knacks, and aesthetic design pieces.

Mounted Television

A boring wall is only one large television set away from being the apple of everyone’s eye in the house. This idea also offers the wall a neat, streamlined look and adds a modern touch. With a mounted TV, we can only imagine the bustling ambiance in your living room on HBO Movie Premiere nights!

Touch of Green

For all the nature enthusiasts out there, you can add another method to your madness by hanging, that’s right, hanging plants on your walls! There are lots of wall-mounted planters and even premium quality faux plants that will reflect your love of greenery.

Sporting Equipment

You can also achieve a personalized effect in your living room by strategically using your sports items. A bunch of surfboards casually leaning in a corner alongside your favorite football club jersey framed on the wall can bring a kind of personal touch to the space, which is quite difficult to achieve otherwise.

This way, you can also let your friends know which side of the fence you are on before the next El Clasico happens!

Gallery Wall

There is a reason why this is one of the most popular options for decorating walls. In fact, a gallery of pictures is the proverbial life-saver for dull living room walls. You can opt for a perfect alignment of multiple artworks or a chaotic cluster of frames with personal photos, according to your preference. You can also adjust your living room lighting to liven up your living room decoration.

Accent Wall

Talking of popular wall decor ideas, the good ol’ accent wall never goes out of trend. Apart from the easy convenience this option offers, it also guarantees maximum interest by providing a striking contrast to the rest of the space. This design can double-down as your exciting living room ceiling idea too.

Architectural Wall

Doesn’t this living room look ever ready for Christmas? Its greatest attraction, the brick wall, teleports you directly to the company of Ebenezer Scrooge and The Ghost of Christmas Past!

Some walls, like this one, are blessed with exotic originality that needs to be uncovered and brought to light instead of being hidden by art pieces. So if your living room wall features unique architectural designs like wooden beams or vintage brick patterns, highlight them using matching colors and designs to give an authentic mood to the room.

Go Vintage

Lots of rustic design elements can offer your wall a vintage relief from a contemporary minimalist living room decor. Go for some colonial magic with handcrafted animal busts or some sheepskin rugs with abstract designs and hang them on the wall for an enchantingly vintage look.

Transform Your Living Room With Decorated Walls

No matter if you are a minimalist or a maximalist, there is always an opportunity to turn a boring wall into something magical that also resonates with your style. Agree? We bet you do. That’s why, here at Pepperfry, we offer incredible ways for you to turn the spotlight on your walls and execute your design pursuits alongside a variety of other creative decor ideas.

Have you ever come home after a long and exhausting shift at work only to retire to a bedroom that doesn’t align with who you are? Do you feel like, after taking care of the kids all day, when you head to your bedroom to relax and unwind, you’re overwhelmed by how uncomfortable the space seems? Ideally, your bedroom should be a warm and welcoming space that is your safe haven from the grind of mundane life. It should be the one space where you feel like you can be yourself and find comfort in surroundings that reflect your personal tastes and sensibilities.

Whether you’re looking to revamp your current bedroom to align with your personality or are doing up a new home, decorating this space can be a boon for your mind, body, and spirit. Spending time in a bedroom that soothes your eyes and allows you to refresh your mind can help you recuperate and live life with renewed zeal. If you’re unsure what aesthetic would suit you and your bedroom, then here is a handy guide to bedroom decoration ideas that will help you get started.

Bedroom Décor Ideas; How to Turn Your Bedroom into a Sanctuary

Cosy Bedroom Design:

If you’re a creature of comfort, then you’ll know that there’s very little that could beat bundling up in your personal cocoon. You can very easily create a snug and sheltered environment in your bedroom with choice furniture purchases and small rearrangements. It is safe to say that the foundation of cosy bedroom décor is lighting. To create a sense of security, it is best to go with warm and ambient lighting, whether in the form of a chandelier, smart lights, or lamp shade. Set up your bed with a soft and sumptuous duvet and a bunch of fluffy pillows. Throw in a plush rug, hang up soothing curtains, and voila, your room is as cosy as can be!

Minimalist Bedroom Design:

In today’s world, life is fast-paced with information and stimulation leaping at you from every corner. In such an era, creating a space where you can enjoy peace, clarity, and simplicity, has become a must. Enter, minimalism. Imbuing a ‘less is more’ philosophy, minimalism helps you decorate your bedroom by discarding the unnecessary and creating a clean, elegant, and utilitarian space. If you’re looking for minimalist bedroom ideas, begin with a thorough deep-clean. Throw away or donate items that you don’t need and opt for furnishing that is sleek and modern. From streamlined beds and space-saving storage solutions to textured carpets and simple light fixtures, minimalism is in.

Bohemian Bedroom Design:

If you’ve spent any time on the internet, you’ve definitely come across bohemian bedroom décor ideas. A rage on various social media apps, this style of interior decorating allows you to enjoy an aesthetically pleasing space without rigid structure or an emphasis on perfectionism. The name harkens back to a nomadic lifestyle, and the décor ideas reflect this way of living. To create a bohemian look in your bedroom, opt for earthy tones and natural materials. Your colour palette should include various shades of brown and green, and prints should feature flora and fauna. From cane chairs and pouffes to macrame wall-hangings and jute rugs, mix and match elements to bring boho into your bedroom!

Vintage-Inspired Bedroom Design:

While modern science works on inventing a time machine, you can use bedroom decoration ideas to travel back to a different era. Whether you’re fond of the 1920s flapper era or a fan of the 1970s counterculture movement, you can recreate those eras by incorporating furniture and home décor items into your bedroom. Once you have a slice of time you’d like to bring back to life, do a little digging to understand the colour palettes, materials, accessories, and furniture that were popular then. From groovy chairs from the 80s to enamelled furniture from the 50s, you can source vintage pieces, or even replicas, to turn your bedroom into a portal to another time.

Farmhouse Bedroom Design:

Comfortable, warm, and homey to boot, farmhouse-style bedroom decoration has taken the interior world by storm, and with good reason. A welcome break from sterile and monochrome styles, the farmhouse aesthetic prioritises inhabiting spaces that look lived in and exude wholesomeness. To recreate this idyllic ideal in your bedroom, you should try to incorporate wood furnishings, especially if they are panelled or slightly imperfect. Choose accessories and fittings made using repurposed materials and incorporate paisley and gingham prints. With gauzy curtains, kitschy knick-knacks, and an abundance of shiplap, your bedroom will seem like a rural retreat!

Modern Bedroom Design:

If you’ve flipped through the pages of any home and lifestyle magazine, you’re sure to have seen images of bedrooms that are dark and sleek caverns, giving off a luxe vibe. If you’d like to adapt similar modern bedroom decorations, then swap out any ornate and intricate furniture for streamlined pieces with clean lines. Paint your walls in neutral or darker shades, and opt for contemporary lighting choices like geometric fixtures or floor lighting. Make sure your floors are in wood or marble; install blinds; and lay monochrome rugs to complement the rest of the décor. Without doing much, your room will look like it’s right out of a trendy magazine.

Industrial Bedroom Design:

Raw, gritty, and exposed, industrial bedroom décor has recently caught on as an interior trend and how! From brick walls to concrete flooring, an industrial bedroom showcases the beauty of reclaiming commercial spaces and turning them into comfortable residences. To bring this style into your bedroom, you can focus on investing in furnishing and home décor in materials like metal, brick, and concrete. Drop the fluff and keep your space as real as possible. Do away with curtains and use metallic trunks for storage. Keep structural elements exposed and use distressed items as much as possible.

Rustic Bedroom Design:

With the rise of slow living and the cottagecore aesthetic, rustic bedroom ideas are more popular than ever before. If you’re looking to recreate a life in the woods, with ample greenery and the warmth of a hearth, then rustic is the pick for you. Choose furniture made from natural elements, especially different kinds of wood. Layer your space with fabrics of different textures, from woven blankets to linen sheets. Make the most of natural light and choose unobtrusive light fixtures like floor lamps and simple chandeliers. Bring in nature by peppering your space with houseplants and floral arrangements.

Romantic Bedroom Design:

Whether you’re of a passionate bent of mind or setting up for a special occasion, romantic bedroom decoration requires a mix of permanent and temporary changes to your space. Swap out your plain jane bed for a classic bed with an ornate headboard. Choose chairs and sofas that feature carvings and embellishments. Make sure to incorporate a colour palette that is moody and mercurial, featuring dark and jewel tones. Decorate surfaces with candles, dried flowers, and warm lamps. With just a few alterations, your bedroom will spell romance.

Glamorous Bedroom Design:

If you want to aspire to live like the rich and famous, you can begin by opting for glamorous bedroom décor. You can up your bedroom’s glamour quotient by picking out a bed that features a larger-than-life headboard. Choose bedding that is plush and decadent, with high-thread-count sheets being a must. For seating, opt for high-backed chairs, a chaise lounge, or a loveseat. Hang up a glitzy chandelier and throw in a faux fur rug. Before you know it, your bedroom will look like something straight out of a movie.

Nautical Bedroom Design:

If all things seafaring make you say ‘aye, aye, captain’, then nautical-inspired bedroom decoration is right up your alley. If you want to incorporate nautical elements into your bedroom, a sure shot method is to stick to a colour theme of navy blue and white. From curtains and rugs to bedsheets and blankets, try to feature a striped pattern in a tasteful manner. Purchase furniture made using materials such as light wood. Make use of sisal where possible, hang up art featuring ships and seascapes, and if you can manage creating a porthole, then you’re all set!

Do you feel like a boy in front of a candy store whenever you look at someone tending to their immaculate home garden full of hibiscus and petunias while the closest thing that you have to a yard space is the under-construction part of the parking lot?

After all, since you are put up on the 17th floor of a high-rise apartment, there is very little chance of ever fulfilling your gardening desires, right (unless The Talented Mr. Musk comes up with something like floating lawns in the future)?

Well, not really. That’s because, in all probability, you already have a garden space; you just haven’t recognized it yet (drumroll, please): the balcony!

10 Balcony Garden Designs That Will Revive Back Your Gardening Spirit

When it comes to balcony garden designs, ideas are a-plenty. Having said that, designing perfect balcony gardens is all about analyzing the potential of your balcony space (space, layout, sun-facing or not, etc.) and matching it to your specific gardening options (vegetables or flowers, budget).

After all, you can’t hope to be growing cucumbers and eggplants if your balcony doesn’t receive any sun whatsoever!

So then, check out ten of the best balcony garden ideas that we have picked for you and pick a design that suits your taste and requirements.

A Sunny Retreat

We have already mentioned that not all balconies are made equal. But if you’re blessed enough to have the grace of ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ right inside your balcony, citrus is the way to go! Irrelevant literary puns aside, make sure you have some nice and colorful umbrellas to protect your fruits from too much sun, either.

Edible Gardening

Why go to the supermarket for spring onions and oreganos when you can grow them right on your balconies? Just keep a couple of precautionary measures in mind with this design. Make sure the wooden pallet has holes at the bottom to avoid root rot in the vegetables. Also, make sure that the wood itself does not have any preservatives that can leach through and contaminate the vegetables.

A Mini Lawn

If you’ve been scratching your head for small balcony design ideas, look no further. Get an Astroturf for your balcony floor and line up the walls with edible kales, small terracotta pots, and flowers. Congratulations, you just saved yourself a ride to the City Park!

A Hanging Garden

Nope, not offering tickets to Babylon (as yet)! In fact, we are talking about planter stands and terracotta pots from the wall with hooks. Save water by using metal-rod rain chains to connect different pots, so that excess water always flows down to other pots.

Colorful Pots Display

You would be amazed at how much a simple and bland balcony can be transformed with the addition of a few bright and colorful pots and plant markers. However, if you don’t want some uninvited visitors (aka birds) to share your amazement and appreciate your garden aesthetics, always use a net around the balcony. Now get an ottoman, put your feet up, and just chillax!

Home Island

Love your balcony so much that you don’t even realize where your indoors end and the balcony begins? We get it. With growing citrus trees, flowers, and herbs on shelves, and some indoor decor essentials out in the open, you can create a private island for yourself just outside your bedroom.

Now tell us where you want your coffee: Starbucks or here?

Window Garden

Don’t Italians have a happy knack for making fashion trends out of small details? When it comes to balcony gardens, there aren’t any exceptions either! Even if you have got a small window space to play with, you can hang some colorful petunias in window boxes and add a bit of greenery on small pots for a view that is simply breathtaking from the outside.

Who said small balcony decor ideas can’t be pretty to look at?

A Balcony Deck

If you’re obsessed with wooden floor decks that make you feel like you’re cruising through the Atlantic, holding onto the stern handrails, we do not blame you at all! But things can get even better when you deck up your balcony.

Add a few flowering plants and a fruit tree to the space with neutral tones and comfy textiles to make it your number-one lounging spot. And, yes, of course, you can always recreate the iconic Leo-Kate Titanic arms-wide scene with much less dire consequences!

Garden of Contemplation

If you’re looking for a place to escape from the daily hustle and hit your daily Zen state, we have got the right garden design for you. A small water fountain with pebbles and natural plants makes this balcony the perfect setting for relaxing and connecting with nature.

Add some Peder Helland instrumentals for ambiance, and use the balcony as your primary meditation spot.

Balcony cum Living Room

How about entertaining some new ways to entertain your guests? No shit, we’re talking about the balcony again! If you have enough space, get some comfortable seats and a small table for drinks. Include the right combination of colorful hanging planters and monochromatic furniture for a shabby chic appearance.

Add to that some pulsating decibels of Red Hot Chilli Peppers amplifying from the indoors, and you have got another hell of a spot for partying!

Transform Your Balcony Space Today

Now that we’ve shown you a range of options for a Pro-level balcony gardening game, we bet you’re already putting on your gardening gloves.

But hold on, not so fast. Before you go through with it, check out the Pepperfry website first (since it could get a little tricky clicking and typing with gardening gloves on) and explore more beautiful designs and furnishing ideas that will compliment your personal garden.
