London is abuzz this week with the hustle and bustle of the world’s creative elite gathering for the design event of the year—the London Design Festival. For the last nine years, UK’s most remarkable designers rule the city over nine days of events, talks and installations in every design field from graphics to furniture to interior designs. With over 200 partners hosting more than 280 events across 25 design disciplines, there is something for anyone looking to be awed and inspired. London’s mayor Boris Johnson is a big fan of the Festival. He says, “The London Design Festival is the most vivid possible proof that London is the hub of the creative industries of the world.”

Destinations With only nine days to see it all, many opt to spend a chunk of time at the destination spots where a collective of hundreds of designers, vendors and products show their designs. Popular design destinations include 100% Design London, Decorex International, designjunction and Tramshed 2011. Smaller venues include Marcel Wanders’ White Building playing house with all of the latest Moooi creations. Dezeen via

To begin, stop looking at your office as a space that is only functional but as a space that deserves to be decorated with as much love and thought as the other rooms in your home. Don’t feel that since it’s a home office, various home accessories simply don’t have a place in there, because it isn’t true.

Dual Purpose Light Fixtures That being said, you should keep in mind that you don’t have to have light fixtures for every different issue in your living room. You can use one light fixture for a number of needs. For example, track lights can be used to create both ambient light and accent lighting.
