This year the Super Game will be welcomed by the impressive stadium NRG in the city of Houston, this incredible event brings a lot of surprises; The Atlanta Falcons vs The New England Patriots that dispute the trophy of The National Football League (NFL). The stars of the equipment of Atlanta directed by, the trainer in charge Bill Belichick, tried to continue the leadership with the majority of the points along with the quarterback Matt Ryan and the receiver Julio Jones, while they face the team of the New England, directed by Dan Quinn, who sends the cornerback Malcolm Butler with the intention to send the game to Logan Ryan, Eric Rowe and Devin McCourty.

 The surprises do not finish here, in this occasion the entertainment will be carried out by the actresses of Broadway who gave to life to the sisters Schuyler, Phillipia Soo, Rene Elisée Goldsberry and Jasmine Cephas Jones, in the musical comedy Hamilton. This trio will be singing the patriotic American song “America the Beautiful”.  Added to this the country music singer Luke Bryan will sing the National anthem and the outlandish Lady Gaga will be in charge to entertain the half-time with a show that is expected to be stunning like her.

 Coffee tables are often the centerpiece of the living room. We arrange seating around the coffee table. We use it to hold essentials such as books and drink coasters. It becomes an impromptu appetizer buffet when it’s time to entertain.

Coffee table featuring sculptural decor
Transparent glass is another way to go, whether the glass is colorful or clear. Try filling a clear container with sculptural objects (or one artful item) for an alluring centerpiece.

Minimal coffee table decor
Sometimes our first instinct is to cover large surfaces with an array of items. Yet lots of “stuff” can make even the largest of spaces seem cluttered. Try leaving a portion of your coffee table exposed for a clean look.

Coffee table with a sleek vase
Tempted to display your entire vase collection? Start with just one. You may decide that one is all it takes!

Floral arrangement on a coffee table
For those who prefer a bountiful yet tidy look, try placing one bloom-filled vase on your coffee table. The look is abundant yet contemporary, especially if you choose interesting flowers for your arrangement!

Dramatic coffee table decor
A grouping of items gets a big dose of drama by varying the height of the items on display. Below we see a collection of interesting, elegant items, including a trio of striking black vases.

Monochromatic coffee table style
A tone-on-tone strategy is unexpected. By matching the decor to the color of the coffee table, items stand out simply because the concept is interesting. Plus, the look is anything but cluttered, as both decor and table make a unified statement.

 Whether for your bedroom, living room or bathroom, curtains and blinds can offer just as much to the design of a room as the furniture. Curtains can add instant cosiness or grandeur. Blinds use a fraction of the fabric needed for curtains, but the variety of styles and textiles available means they don't have to fall short on impact, give your windows some love!

Centre stage
This 'Deniz' linen/cotton, combining the curtains with a roman blind in a small pattern creates a decorated look, but the simple shapes stop it looking fussy.

 Elevated style
These Italian strung curtains, in the bedroom, have a goblet-pleated header design. They are fixed in position at the top and then drawn up and down using a cord. The look is quite traditional and very pretty. 


Gather together
The soft gathered pelmet and thick jacquard curtains in this bedroom are perfect for a country bedroom. When rooms are not especially high, it looks good if the pelmet goes right up to the ceiling, as seen here.


Plain sailing
Patterned walls with duck-egg blue interlined linen curtains with triple pleat headings, hung from a simple white pole. If you are undecided about the amount of fabric falling on the floor, try slightly 'baggy trousers' as shown. 

Back in fashion
Some rooms require a relaxed edge and these provide that softness, a simple linen print that looks charming and not at all like a Viennetta. 

Bold Orange & White Wool Curtain
Reminiscent of the artist Matisse's paper cuts - has been applied to a pale wool curtain.

Pattern is the most evocative of decorating tools, easily transporting us to a time or a place, from quintessentially English floral prints to bright Moorish fabrics. A mix of patterns, whether on furniture or wallpaper, has the power to create either a calming cocoon or add excitement and drama - it's all in how you use it.

If you opt for a patterned wallpaper with a bold ground colour - as our decoration director Gabby Deeming has in this pink living room - a good rule of thumb is to pick out the secondary colours in the pattern and use them as a jumping off point for the rest of the room's furnishings.

Bathroom wallpaper in pretty prints paired with accessories in complimentary colours is perfect for an eclectic look. A red and green colour scheme is particularly eye-catching; and all the better if you can add another print via a reflection in the mirror.

The modern living room sets the tone for the combination of pattern and texture to be found throughout the house. The walls are hung with a collection of starburst mirrors from various antiques fairs.

This eclectic yet restful bedroom layers bold paint colours and vintage furniture with pretty, pastel prints.

Love a particular fabric? Repeat it throughout a room for an impactful scheme.

Decorate your home for Thanksgiving with this ideas and have a delightful day.
Creative candleholders
Use repurposed candleholders for easy fall displays of small pumpkins and gourds. Look for candleholders in varying heights at a garage sale or antiques store, then spray-paint black for a unified look.
Harvest mantel
The focal point of this harvest-inspired mantel is a collection of inexpensive melamine plates attached to the wall with easy-to-use adhesive disc hangers. Casually arrange an assortment of pumpkins and gourds between two bundles of dried wheat on the mantel. Include a blackboard or two where you can write an inspirational quote or even your Thanksgiving menu!
Hues of autumn
Footed glass containers show off ribbons, beans and nuts in fall hues. The copper tray adds shiny sophistication and makes the arrangement portable.
Nut votive
Place these pretty votives on your Thanksgiving dining table, mantel or coffee table. Just gather unshelled nuts and layer in a glass cup around a small candle. Save a few nuts to scatter near your display.
Natural display
A pumpkin "basket" makes an imaginative centerpiece for a fall table.
Hollow out the pumpkin, then place a block of wet floral foam inside. Position a pillar candle in the foam and surround with fall blooms and berries to complete this DIY fall decoration.
Nature's artistry wreath
Embellish a square store-bought magnolia wreath with color-coordinated real and faux materials, including twigs, seedpods, nuts, berries, wheat and leaves.

Need some dining room ideas? This room is all about crowding a group of friends around the table with some delicious food, good wine and plenty of conversation. But creating the right atmosphere with some clever dining room design can help.

 Jade Green Painted Walls in Farmhouse
A striking jade green for the walls in the dining room. Family portraits and pictures by friends are a well considered personal touch.

 Cornish Rectory
The dining room of this Cornish rectory, decorated by Max Rollitt, is panelled in a typical, late-eighteenth-century manner. This is matched with appropriate furniture - an English Regency table with mahogany chairs, c. 1765, with carved and pierced back splats. The chair seats are covered in antique silk bourette.
Grey Dining Room with Mid-century Furniture
Chairs surround a mid-century Danish table from Paere Dansk. The chimneypiece is flagged by bespoke cabinets. This furniture sits on top of parquet that was laid over a new rubber acoustic floor after the whole house was gutted.
Dining room with verdigris garden furniture.
The garden furniture used in the dining area. The metal furniture is softened by the verdigris finish.
Blue in Belgravia
The dining room in this Belgravia house, feels open and airy thanks to its generous proportions and five sash windows. The deep sky paint extends from the wall to the ceilings. Sixties lacquered rope chairs in the style of Napoleon III surround the table.
Blue Mood
This frieze inspired by Matisse's papercuts, has a playful energy and works as a framing device for the objects in the room.
