Tile to Tile
Glass accent tiles bring color and versatility to the party. Metal tiles are also gaining in popularity — with stainless steel, bronze or copper adding gleam to backsplashes and more. There are also new faux hardwood porcelain tiles that give you the look of wood with the practicality of tiles.

Mirrors Mirrors Mirrors
This look seems to transcend styles from traditional to modern to farmhouse and more. You can layer the mirrors to add depth, use different angles and sizes to create surprise, or just simply build a clean geometric grid. Beveled edges and glitzy frames bounce the light around even more.Visit the Ultimate Books Library

RURAL/URBAN ... OR IS IT URBAN/RURAL?

Imagine a careful blend of rustic, hand-hewn woods and chunky stone with salvaged architectural features and industrial-chic fixtures. It’s a jazzy, funky look that can be as mellow or invigorating as you choose.

TOWEL WARMER 
They have them at the spa so, why can’t you have one at home, too? Well, now you can step out of the shower and wrap yourself up in a soft, warm towel for little cost and effort. From stand-alone units to complete built-ins, your plumber can find a unit to fit your bathroom space and decor. Banish the brrr and engulf yourself in the mmm.

DRAMATIC MIRRORS
The matching pedestal sinks and oval mirrors seemed like a good idea at the time, but sometimes you just need to see what you’re doing. Replace the two mirrors with one large mirror that spans the wall. In less than a couple of hours, your local glass dealer can remove the old mirrors, install a big mirror, and provide countless options for including a decorative frame, or not. Either way, a big mirror gives your bathroom a much more spacious feeling, brightens up the room and can add a little bit of drama.

Hot Tub /Hydrotherapotic BATHS
The bath is the centerpiece of the entire room. It just makes sense to maximize the bathing experience with a hydrotherapeutic tub. It’s also the biggest single element in the bathroom. You can’t miss it, so it’s worth the money to select a style that really speaks to you and stands out. With our deep pool of designs and price categories, Aquatic provides the optimum number of top-quality features and benefits for every dollar spent

Bathroom colors

Color is the easiest w.ay to make a big impression. You can change wall color to go from soothing to dramatic, bold to minimalist. Here are a few tips on incorporating color into your space for a bath with a pop of color.

Playing with contrast is a great way to play with mood. A bold color scheme with high contrast — like Kelly green and stark white — creates a vibrant, invigorating feeling. Going monochromatic, with different values or intensities of the same color, gives an elegant, soothing impression. Dark walls can create a handsome, masculine appearance and allow white fixtures to stand out.

More is sometimes more. Neutrals will always be a favorite for a spa retreat. But recent bathtrends have been towards more color in more places. For ideas, consider Pantone’s 2010 Home & Interiors Color Trend Forecast, which includes palettes inspired by artisanal farmer’s markets, bold African landscapes and the night sky.
 If you are unsure about a color, consider giving it a try in easy-to-change items like toweling, curtains or soaps. But even if you paint a wall the “wrong” color, it can always be painted again. And make sure you always test out your chosen colors with your chosen lighting — ican make a real difference in tone and hues.Try a pop of unexpected color in an unexpected place: your bath. Our Serenity Air collection comes in premium color options and some surprising combinations, including red, black, cashmere and sterling silver.

decorating your home with paintings, framed pictures

Decorating your home with paintings.

Nothing will make your new house feel more like home than adding your personal artwork. Hanging photographs, wall art and collectibles will bring your own personality and drama to any room. The first step is to pick the most important pieces you want grouped together. Avoid the clutter of displaying every piece you own, and instead choose the pieces that fit your taste and mood as of now. It is an easy update to any room to switch out pictures when your mood changes.

Once you have the sizes of each piece decided, lay out the grouping flat on the floor before attempting to hang on the wall. Experiment with placement and overall size, until you come up with the layout that suits you and the pictures the best. Since our eyes appreciate order, it is best to design your pictures in an overall square or rectangle. This allows you to vary shapes and sizes in the set box. The only time you should stair-step your artwork is if you're hanging them on a stairway wall. If placing the grouping above a large piece of furniture, a good tip is to put larger items above the smaller ones to balance out the overall focal point.

Height is essential to the overall look of your artwork. Hanging a print, or group of prints, too high above a piece of furniture can leave the two segments disconnected. A good rule of thumb is 6-8 inches above furniture. And, if placing the grouping on a blank wall with no furniture, a guideline to uphold is to place the top of the lowest piece 58 inches above the floor. This ensures a solid, average eye level of the people who will be viewing the artwork. Although, if you’re using art that is small in overall size, and in an area where it will be viewed from a sitting position, you can also place the art at seated eye level.

Spacing is also a vital key when placing art. When grouping multiple pieces together, leave at least two inches around each frame on all sides, making sure that every open space is consistent and even. Also, keep in mind every other object in the room. Every item plays a roll in the overall design. Keeping a balance between artwork, furniture and other items such as lamps is key.

Choosing the right hardware to hang your priceless artwork is a crucial factor as well. Picture hooks are much more stable than basic nails. Hooks are designed to redistribute the weight suspended from them, pushing the weight into the wall as well as down. Hooks are usually sold according to the weight they are able to hold. Use at least two hooks, spaced about half the width of the frame. Unless you’re hanging something that is more than 60 pounds, you won’t need to bother using anchors.

With any picture or piece of art, it is important to protect it to ensure it will stay beautiful for many years. Always request that acid-free materials and UV protected glass be used when having your pieces framed.

Also, pay attention to the lighting of where you want your art to be hung. Never place your pictures in direct sunlight where the rays will destroy the picture and the frame itself. And, be careful of the heat when hanging pictures above the fireplace.

The artwork you choose, and how you choose to hang it is, of course, up to personal discretion. Hanging art is one of the easiest ways to make any new house your home, making you feel comfortable, and giving your guests a glimpse of your personality and style.

Minimizing Moving Headaches with Modular Furniture and Slipcovers

Newest Tech, Gadgets and DIY at 50% Manza Store https://manzastore.com/

 

Recently, I moved to a new apartment and it brought back a flood of memories – mainly of how much I hate moving. But, it was less stressful than past moves and it motivated me to write this article to help you minimize the pain of your next move.

Remember how easy it was to move in college? The university wouldn’t allow large pieces of furniture in dorm rooms, so the physical move itself wasn’t too demanding or require an advanced degree in spatial relations to make everything fit. You didn’t have much furniture aside from a bed, dresser, desk, chair and a floor lamp  or two. What you did have probably wasn’t particularly nice any way, so a few nicks and scratches as friends and family hauled your stuff in and out of the dorm weren’t a big deal. You simply replaced whatever was ruined or (god forbid) uncool with something different the next school year.

But times change, we get jobs, bank accounts grow and the difficulties associated with moving increase. You care more about what you have and want to keep things nice, since costs are higher and let’s face it - now you have to pay them. Your convenient old futon has been replaced by two pieces of unwieldy furniture: an actual bed and a sofa. To make matters worse, your bed now has a headboard, footboard, sides, frame, box spring and a mattress (Note: if you have a sleeper sofa, the friends you coerce into helping you move will hate you and wish you a slow and painful death). To avoid multiple trips, you Tetris all of your possessions into a moving truck and wrap your mirrors , TVs and glass tables like Egyptian mummies. Even if you successfully transport your furniture from Point A to Point B, you still have to navigate stairs, hallways and corners, before you arrange everything in your new home.

Why do we put ourselves through all this? Masochism? Necessity? A “significant other?” Whatever the reason, there are a few tips that can help make moving easier.

Modular Furniture is Your Friend

When people think of modular furniture, they typically picture asectional sofa  and stacking cubes . But there are other contemporary applications, such as home office desks and filing cabinets, as well as entertainment centers, room dividers and closet organizers. These self-contained interchangeable units can easily be configured to accommodate your unique functional needs and space limitations.

So how does that help when you move? Well, for starters, it’s a lot easier moving and packing small pieces of furniture than large ones. Most modular storage or seating is secured with simple clips or a couple of screws, so it’s quick and easy to separate complex arrangements into individual pieces. On the back end, they’re easier to manage when going up and down stairs and passing through tight spaces.

One of the most easily overlooked problems with moving is that the usable space in your new home or apartment is often very different from your old place. The bookshelves you bought to fill up the empty wall between your family room and dining room might be too wide now. Maybe there’s a fireplace right where you would normally place your couch. Modular furniture enables you to adapt to your new surroundings. Storage units can be reconfigured to be taller, shorter, wider or narrower depending on your room’s constraints. Instead of one large couch, you can separate a sectional sofa into smaller loveseats and ottomans .

Slipcovers – Change Your Look Affordably

What do you do if your new place has a different architectural style, décor or color scheme? You could toss your old stuff and just buy new furniture, but that could be pretty expensive. A great way to freshen up your old chairs and couches is with slipcovers. They come in all sorts of colors, patterns and textures and are easily removed for cleaning or a simple change for the season. You can buy pre-made or custom slipcovers that fit snugly over your existing upholstery, or you can buy slipcovered furniture  to begin with. If you choose the former, be sure to measure your pieces before purchasing a compatible slipcover.

Boxes and Bubble Wrap and Towels…Oh My

How do you ensure that your stuff doesn’t get wrecked in transit? Nothing is more frustrating than finding the perfect table lamp , only to have it damaged while moving. If you have the storage space, I highly recommend that you save the original packaging of your most prized fragile possessions (for me that’s my HD flat screen TV). This includes not only the box, but the Styrofoam inserts as well. If you’ve already thrown out the packaging, bubble wrap is a good alternative. Once everything is safely in your new home, be sure to store the padding for future use (you can never have enough bubble wrap, if you ask me). Using your bath towels to help pad glass items is also efficient. You have to bring the towels any way, so you might as well utilize them to protect other things.

Moving is never fun or easy, but if you follow the tips above, it can be a little less stressful and minimize the number of unwelcome surprises.

Decorating tips

 decorating tips

Newest Tech, Gadgets and DIY at 50% Manza Store https://manzastore.com/

Before starting to decorate your interior you need to first put together your own ideas and keep in mind the goal you wanna achieve even if you are decorating or transforming your home interior to a new look, secondly remember some tips.

Pale colours give a feeling of space – just as black clothes are sliming, dark colours make rooms look smaller. This is not necessarily a bad thing but if you want to create a light and airy feel then pale colours are best.

Never have too much of a good thing – If you are new to interior design then a simple principle you can try is the 75-25-5 rule. This rule, believed to be invented by the Greeks, states that a room should contain 75% of one thing, 25% of a related thing and 5% of a contrasting thing. For example looking at this from a colour point of view you could try light blue walls, and dark blue furniture with some cream cushions.

Incorporate some Feng Shui – Feng Shui is the Chinese art of balancing the energy in your home and getting it right could mean that you’re luckier, wealthier and healthier. For example in the bathroom the basic premise is that you need to balance the water energy with earth energy, so you need to paint it warm earthy colours, dress the room with earthy items such as pottery, and decorate the room with plants or fresh flowers.

Don’t rely on trends - By all means consult interior design magazines, but you’ll find that most top interior designs will not rely too much on the latest interior design trends. Although they may look great, they will also date quickly, so try mixing classic interior design with your own style, you can then use the latest trends to give your room a touch of added interest. Following this tip means you won’t need to redecorate every couple of years.

Create a mood board – Before you put paintbrush to paint you should try and decide on a whole look for the room you are redecorating, and that’s where a mood board can help. All you need to do is get a piece of paper and stick on pictures of the interior style you’d like to create, as well as colours, textures and even some samples you think will work well together. You can then use this as your guide to help you makeover the room as a whole from the colour on the walls to the texture of the furniture .If these tips have inspired you then why not check out our local search facility that will help to find everything you need to complete your interior design vision.

Interior decorating...10 easy ways

Interior decorating..10 easy ways

Newest Tech, Gadgets and DIY at 50% Manza Store https://manzastore.com/

If you're thinking about redecorating but aren't sure how to begin, this article is the right place to start! Do some research, make a budget and organize your ideas before you embark on your interior design journey. Keep reading this post for more great tips!

Always consider how long you intend to live in your home before you embark upon a large interior design project. If you are not going to be living in your home for at least five years, then you should be as neutral as possible when designing it. Something you think looks great may not seem so to a future buyer.

By installing a new faucet in your kitchen can greatly improve the appearance of your kitchen. Don't forget to decorate wall when you are designing your rooms. Blank walls are not attractive. Using a beautiful picture or an arrangement of photographs gives your room a finished look. Balance any artwork with other features in the room. Black velvet paintings will always age poorly, so be sure to avoid them. Keep in mind the usage of the room space when you are planning a design. For instance, when decorating your child's room, you should consider bright and vivid colors because they'll match his or her personality. But those colors won't work in a library for instance.

Dress up your walls with good artwork. Good artwork can make a boring room more exciting. Consider the overall mood of your current room, and look for artwork that will match the feel you are going for. For the best impact, hang the artwork roughly at eye level.

If you're planning on painting a room, don't rush! Make sure that you really like your color choice before you are stuck with it. Compare many samples with your decor and give it a few days before you decide. See how everything comes together under different lighting conditions. You may find that you don't love a color quite as much as you did at first. You can apply color to change the look and feel of a room. A white ceiling will open up a room and make it appear spacious. To create the illusion of a higher ceiling, paint the ceiling with a receding color such as white or some other very light color.

Think about what your children want when designing their rooms. You might not realize what they can reach and what works for their size. You need to make all of these items accessible to your children. Aim to view the room like your child would. Most importantly, make sure you eliminate possible hazards.

Get your creative juices flowing with framed pictures. They are just as much part of the decor as everything else. Don't be fixated on only straight lines. Hang the art in some really unique ways. Utilizing white space on the walls will present exciting options for enhancing or changing the feel of the space.

Consider applying wallpaper to only 50% of a wall. It can cost a lot of money to redecorate walls. Use wallpaper on only a fraction of your wall to save money. Put a bold border around the wallpaper and then paint the other half of the wall with paint to compliment it. You can easily make your home feel stylish with this method, without breaking the bank.

When you are shopping for window treatment, you should ensure that they are what you want to put up. Curtains are generally focal points in a room, so the pattern and color are crucial to your decision. Staying current with decorating style trends is an important interior design tip. You wouldn't want to appear to be stuck in the 1970's with outdated decor. See what others are doing to their home nowadays.

For a great update, add a skylight to a room in your home. These lights can bring in light and open up your rooms. Skylights are a great addition to any home, and this is why you want to add in something like this.

Interior design could be a daunting task and it may feel as if you need to use a lot of money. This is not true. If you're ready to take things slowly and plan ahead, you can transform the look of your home on your own terms and in your own time. Remember these tips to create your dream home!

Thinking About a Design

Thinking About a Design..................

Newest Tech, Gadgets and DIY at 50% Manza Store https://manzastore.com/

The design process has been the subject of much scrutiny and debate over centuries. This fascination with the subject is partly due to the huge range of interacting demands and relationships that need to be resolved in every project. The number of variables to which the designer must attend is immense and incapable of resolution en masse. It is only by tackling them sequentially that we can deal with the complexities of the process. The chapter headings of this book – and, of course, the contents of the chapters – suggest topics that might be used in this sequential process.

Unconscious design can be more effective than conscious. There is often the hope that consciously deliberating on a problem will trigger a creative solution. In the case of simple problems this will often work (when reassembling a piece of machinery for instance, or solving an anagram). For complex problems, particularly those combining practical and aesthetic solutions, there is a better way. That better way is unconscious deliberation; using the parallel processing power of the brain to solve the problem subconsciously while the brain’s owner embarks on another task. The only proviso is that the brain has to understand all the variables and their relationships before it can work this particular magic; this means there has to be an initial conscious effort to feed it the right information. Afterwards the individual can get on with other things knowing that in the near future, often suddenly and in unlikely situations, a potential solution will occur.

This extensive bathroom has cabling to the lighting, a plasma screen television and extraction fan as well as hot and cold water supplies and drainage pipes to basins and tub. These have been carefully integrated within the construction so that they are invisible.

similarly in any interior you cannot neglect the importance of lighting. it may increase or decrease the beauty of your interior.

The design of retail environments can bring into play theatrical devices – note the quality of light in particular here. The relative impermanence of these types of spaces enables the designer to explore form, texture and light in ways that capture the imagination of the user. These are places to shop and to make believe.

On the other hand a crisp, clean-lined interior that reflects company values and demonstrates the merchandise effectively.
