Posted: 22 Feb 2011 09:13 AM PST

Normally shelves have the same size from one edge to the other, I mean they are just as wide all over the place. But this interesting shelf that is used for storing different things, not only books, is a bit changed. It appears to be three dimensional, that is you can see it “growing ” from the wall, like a living organism that develops on the wall of your house. That effect is due to the different width of the shelf – it is more narrow on the edge and wider in the middle. It is called SheLLf and it was designed by the young designer Ka-Lai Chan. Even though she has Asian origins, she lives now in Netherlands where her amazing talent was discovered and encouraged.

The SheLLf is made of natural coloured wood that is painted in black on the edge and also on the outer side. This thing creates and amazing visual effect due to the contrast between the light colour of the wood and the shiny black outside. You can use it for storing different things and it also makes a wonderful display for certain pieces of decoration that you might want to use in your home. This item is available now in three different sizes, depending on the wish of the customer and also on the size of the wall it is supposed to be placed on. It fits perfectly a white or beige wall and can be used in decorating any room, no matter what style you use for that – modern or traditional.

Bunk beds are the perfect solution for families with children's in the household and limited space. Bunk beds are utilitarian, versatile and a functional piece of furniture. Besides offering a cozy place to sleep, they allow the kids to have fun. Bunk beds are attractive and bring in many possibilities to the living space. As they occupy more vertical space than horizontal space, floor space in the room is freed, and a neat and organized look is imparted.

Today, bunk beds have gained extreme popularity and are now available in a wide variety of sizes, designs and structure. However, this has literally baffled the parents when it comes to the selection of bunk beds.

Here is a list of instructions to assist choosing the perfect bunk bed –

1) The first and foremost step of choosing the perfect bunk bed is considering the age of the child for whom the bunk bed is to be brought. If the age of the child is within 6 six years, a top bunk bed should be avoided and if purchased, it should be ensured that it not much elevated, and features guardrails on each side.

2) The next factor to be considered is the size of the bed. If your child is a growing teenager, then the wrong selection is assured to cause trouble and inconvenience in the long run. In such a situation, it is best to invest in futon beds. The futon bed features a pull out futon at the bottom which expands the bed size if required.

3) The height of the room as well the bunk bed is also to be considered. Assure that there is a free space of 2 feet or more above the bunk bed. Also ensure that the kid can comfortably sit in the lower platform of the bed without banging his head on the upper platform.

4) What material the bunk bed is to be made of such as metal, wood or combination of both depends upon the décor style of the room and home and a good memory foam. Both, metal and wood are good options. It is entirely a matter of opinion to select one of these. However, wooden bunk beds are generally little more expensive than metal bunk beds.

Whatever type of bunk bed you choose to buy, ensure to purchase from a reputated manufacturer only so that you have the quality assurance.
