    Suitcase Decor – Unusual Home Decor Ideas

    Got back from vacation yesterday, and seeing the huge pile of suitcases while unpacking reminded me of this post on suitcase decor. It’s one of the first few posts I’d written when I started blogging and I’ve always loved it.

    An #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this living room. (Swi An #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this living room. (Swipe 👈🏻for before) This living room went from dark and heavy to light, warm, and welcoming. Before: • Bulky furniture dominating the space • Dark finishes around the window • A monochrome palette After: • A soft tan sofa that instantly brightens the room • Lighter window treatments that let the space breathe • Warm wood, layered textiles, and a colourful rug bringing personality underfoot • A window seat that turns the garden view into part of the room Click link in bio for more pics and details #ARIYONA_Sukoon #ARIYONAliving #beforeafter
    Blue is the overachiever of the colour world.💙 It Blue is the overachiever of the colour world.💙 It can be calm in a bedroom, sophisticated in a dining room, dramatic in a bar, and fresh in a kitchen—all without changing its name. Maybe that’s why we keep coming back to it. These are our favourite blue spaces. Which one is yours? Photography: @bizou.photos #ARIYONAroundup
    An #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this dining area. (Swi An #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this dining area. (Swipe 👈🏻 for before) From six chairs around a rectangular table to a cosy dining nook built for lingering. The biggest change here wasn’t just the furniture—it was the way the space is used. Before: • A conventional dining setup taking up most of the room After: • A custom banquette that comfortably seats more people • A round table that makes conversations flow better • Soft blush walls that bring warmth to the space • A flock of brass birds adding a playful touch overhead The result? A dining corner that feels more like everyone’s favourite seat in the house. Click link in bio for more pics and details Photography: @bizou.photos #ARIYONA_Mio #ARIYONAdining #beforeafter
    The brick wall is the star of this balcony. By da The brick wall is the star of this balcony. By day, it brings warmth and texture. By evening, the spotlights take over—washing the surface with light and revealing every ridge, groove, and imperfection that makes brick so beautiful. Add a pair of woven pendants casting their own patterns, and this little corner transforms completely after sunset. Proof that good materials get even better with good lighting.

    Here’s an #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this living roo Here’s an #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this living room. (Swipe 👈🏻 for before) We flipped the sofa to the opposite wall—and the entire space started working differently. Before: • The seating interrupted the flow between living and dining After: • A clearer pathway through the home • Better visual connection between living and dining • A dedicated TV wall with layered artwork and styling • Space for a decorative partition that gently defines zones without closing them off One furniture move. A completely different experience of the room. Click link in bio for more pics and details Photography: @bizou.photos #AI_Kai #ARIYONAliving #beforeafter
    Dining lights have a tough job. They need to make Dining lights have a tough job. They need to make the food look good, the table feel inviting, and somehow avoid becoming the only thing anyone notices. A few things we look for: • The right scale for the table • Light that feels warm, not interrogation-room bright • A shape that adds personality without stealing the show • Something worth looking at even when it’s switched off These are our favourites. Which one is yours? Photography: @bizou.photos #ARIYONAroundup #ARIYONAdining
    An #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this boy’s bedroom. (S An #ARIYONAbeforeafter from this boy’s bedroom. (Swipe left for before) The biggest change here? We flipped the bed placement entirely. Before: • the bed blocked movement and made the room feel tighter • bulky furniture + dark curtains made the space feel heavier than it was After: • the new bed position opened up the layout • a full-height wardrobe streamlined the storage • soft neutrals + layered textures made the room feel calmer and brighter • wall lights freed up bedside space and added a boutique-hotel vibe Sometimes the smartest design move isn’t adding more. It’s simply rethinking the plan. Click link in bio for more pics and details. Photography: @bizou.photos #AI_Shway #ARIYONAkids
    A dressing corner designed for a teenager who want A dressing corner designed for a teenager who wanted her room to feel soft, calm, and just a little bit Pinterest-worthy 💗 This nook was designed to do a little bit of everything: • dressing table + window seat • soft curves to keep the space feeling playful • an arched mirror to visually open up the corner • warm lighting that feels dreamy at night • and layered blush tones because apparently “just one pink” was not enough 😄 Swipe 👈🏻 for the full setup and those floating butterfly lights quietly stealing the show.
