Finally, the project is complete. Who would have thought, from the pictures in the first blog post of this series about Turnkey Projects by Tanti Interiors, that such a barren shell would be transformed into such a lovely space?
In the third part of this series of blog posts about Tanti Interiors Turnkey Projects, we took a close look at the ground work required to prepare the blank canvas which will have us looking at a space taking a definite shape.
In the second part of this new series of blogs about Tanti Interiors' Turnkey Projects, we discussed the process of plans and elevations which are prepared for the clients' approval. Once approval and agreement is reached, quotations are prepared based on the budget which has been decided upon.

Doesn't the house feel bare and dull after summer? Once autumn weather kicks in, the deckchair coloured curtains, the over-sized flora on the cushions, the coral and shell table centrepiece…. all suddenly start looking obtrusively out of synch. It’s time to change tack and keep up with the season.
As summer is a time when people in Malta typically revamp spaces in and around their homes, a lot of attention is directed towards outdoor areas.
Party under the stars One of the joys of summer is the possibility of spending evenings out in the open, literally under the stars. So much can be enjoyed during the warm balmy evenings which are typical of our islands' summers.
Marble is one of the oldest materials to be used for interior and exterior decoration. Quarried since ancient times, no slab of marble is quite like the next, so that uniqieness is always characteristic and individual.

There is a very fine line which separates stylish interiors from disastrous ones. The skill lies in knowing when to stop placing more into a room;
That time of year is with us once again. Time to go outdoors and re-think your outdoor space? Here are some tips that can help you turn your exterior space into an extension of your home.

Forget spring. For many of us, January is the best and only time for change, a good month to detoxify from what had become boring and staid all through the previous year.
As another Christmas Season wraps itself around us, I look back and catch my breath after the whole year seems to have just swiftly passed by us once again.
In today's day and age, the word Boutique is being injected into nearly everything. From hotels to apartments and even private hospitals.

The inner courtyard is the breathing space of your built-up property and whether it be a small or large yard, it can add character to your home in varied ways.
