Inner Court for Small House

The existence of the inner court gave several important benefits:
1. Make air circulation better and gives natural lighting because of its open.
2. Gives the impression of the house.
3. As a convenient meeting point for all residents.
4. Refresh the house environtment.



When you consider to build small house on a tiny land, but you wanted an Inner Court, you are actually preparing the foundation of the natural comfort of nature. By the inner court, you can take advantage of the things that nature provided. Air flow and sunlight. You can still complete this natural comfort. For example with several types of plants in pots and if possible a small pond. About the size of the inner court did not matter. What matters is proportional to the area home

Inner Court gives natural comfortthat not lead to boredom. But there are some tricks of it. For example you can periodically add, subtract, or change the type of plant your pots for the inner court. That sounds good if you replace the occasional formation seats around the park is open in this house. Or maybe by adding a little touch of lighting for night.

lounge room or lounge ( in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand ), is a room for entertaining adult guests, reading, or other activities. The term front room can also be used to describe a living room, because in many homes the living room is at the very front. (wikipedia).



As we know, lounge is resemble with sitting room, or waiting room for some passanger, like at airport lounge. Lounge ussualy designed to make people more relax and enjoying live music or just music background.

So, if we want to start doing some design job for a lounge interior , firstly we have to know which color and lighting that will lead people stay without get bored.

Home Office Design Ideas

If you are working full time out of your home, or is it mainly for occasional personal use, you probably spend a few hours in your home office. Here are some useful help in this area more pleasant and productive space are considered.

What are you needs?

As well as the overall appearance and feel, the colours you choose can also affect your productivity in your home workplace. That's why it's important to ask yourself a few questions before you begin decorating, to make sure this space will truly fulfil your needs.

Do you want a relaxing environment, or do you need your workspace to be more stimulating? Will you be having visitors at your office? Should the look of your office fit in with the rest of your home? Whatever you decide, your home office should be a place where you will enjoy working. Choose the colours and style that suit your needs best Take a look at the psychology of colour.

Tips

• In home offices, try to strive for a look between residential and commercial. For example, smart and warm rather than cool and corporate. Use colours from the rest of the house, to help tie your office in with the living areas.

• Use warm accents to brighten up your home office if it is painted in cool or neutral colours. Add vibrant coloured artwork to stimulate the senses.

Colours to work with!

Soft coloured home office

Some colours motivate, while other colours can distract. So by choosing the right colours you can make your home office a better place to work. If you are easily distracted, you may need to surround yourself with soft colours to relax and calm you and help you get down to work.

If you find motivation difficult, you may want to surround yourself with brighter colours to provide you with more energy. Decide which colours best motivate you, and project the right image for your working environment.

Cool colours such as blues, greens, and purples are passive in nature, receding into the background. They don't distract or disturb, making them a perfect choice for a home office. Cool colours help to quiet the nerves, lift the spirits, and soothe the soul. Psychologically, these types of colours are calming and meditative, lending well to thoughtful concentration.

Think green! Natural, restful, yet rejuvenating, green is perhaps one of the best colours to use in spaces where the main goals are thinking and creativity, which is why this colour is often chosen for classrooms and study areas. Ranging from soft, subtle sages, to soothing sea greens, to the deep, dignified forest and hunter shades, greens ease stress, stimulate the thought process, and promote feelings of balance and harmony.

Use colours for inspiration

Warm colours such as reds, yellows, and oranges, are active and actually appear to move towards you, making rooms painted in these tones appear more intimate and cosy. Warm colours are cheerful, invigorating and great for creative spaces and for people seeking stimulation from their work environment. These colours can be used to help awaken the mind and enliven the spirit. Warm, muted colours tend to work better than bold, bright colours in office environments. Psychologically, bright colours are very stimulating, but also tend to be distracting in working spaces.

Whites representing peace and purity. The colour white can be used to give an open, spacious feeling to a smaller work area. Soft, muted, or tinted whites are the best choice for the main wall colours in offices. Pure, bright white, when used in large quantities, can strain the eyes in a brightly lit work environment. Instead, use bright whites for trim and mouldings to create a crisp, clean look.

Ultimately, you need to evaluate your own response to colour, because it varies from individual to individual. Remember it is your space. Make it a place where you want to be, and you're sure to be more productive!

Artificial Plants for Interior Landscaping

Artificial plants are very practical in terms of their rooms because of the many advantages of the plant. Despite the fact that the real plant can be expensive and require maintenance, there is no shortage of fake plants. Real plants should be irrigated and maintained, which requires time and effort that many companies should be reduced. In contrast, the fake plants you can plant up by professionals and do not worry about it.

On top of these advantages, the main weakness of the real plant that can wither and die. Fake plants, leaves, and strong colors as the day you hire them, so you do not have to worry about you. Fake plants will be, as you need them, and looking like the real thing. For this reason, many local landscapers to use artificial plants.

Artificial plants, as well as a safe way to promote your own decorations to attract insects to them, because they are made of plastic. This means that the environment, restaurants, for example, a variety of pests. Moreover, artificial plants are made of fully protected fire or something like this neighborhood restaurant.

Artificial plants can be ordered from many rental companies. Companies can build their own design with many features, you can see exactly what you are looking for the best look for your room. And professionals who enjoy working closely with local landscapers, architects and designers, you want to look beautiful and pleasant environment for you everywhere.

Artificial plants in the landscape with extra oomph to your living room should stand for human memory. Such a cheap and convenient option to lease the plant to make the right choice for many business owners and landscapers. Artificial plants also can be very eye catching, as the structure to be eight feet high. Not only, but the business management of the plant you want, you can relax and enjoy it.

Many kinds of screen and artificial plants in pots can also be rented. This means that the selection of artificial plants, among them, as they show your style tea room, whether it is modern, traditional, or restless.

Bedroom Mural for Kid's room

Using the overhead projector, that one-time staple of lecture halls, parents and kids can turn any traceable image into a mural. Simply project an easy-to-make transparency of an image onto the wall, trace it, then fill it in as though you're painting in a giant coloring book. The result is a professional-looking, inexpensive mural that can transform a blank wall into a truly unique focal point of a kid's room.

Materials

• Overhead projector (you can borrow or rent one)
• Transparency film (available at office supply stores)
• Fine-tip markers

• Masking or painter's tape
• Paints (interior latex and artists' acrylics)
• Paintbrushes in various sizes for outlining, filling in, and detail wor

Instructions

1. Choose an image. We suggest sticking to fairly simple, two-dimensional pictures or designs that don't rely on elaborate shading or perspective. And the fewer colors the better. If your child has trouble selecting a favorite, check out the clip art sources at left (Daphne Jensen found her image on a CD-ROM of clip art). Any image that can be traced or printed onto transparency film will work.

2. Location, location, location. Decide where you want the mural. Do you want to incorporate architectural details? For instance, you might paint a jungle animal "sitting" on a radiator.

3. Make the transparency. There are three ways to transfer an image to transparency film: use a fine-tip marker to trace the picture onto the film, photocopy the picture onto the film, or use an ink-jet or laser printer to print a computer image onto the film. Decide which will work best for your image, then purchase transparency film (boxes of 25 sheets start at $4) at an office supply store. Note that different types are sold for tracing, photocopying, and various printers.

4. Project your picture. Borrow an overhead projector from a school or church or rent one from a rental shop. Experiment with the distance you project from and the size of the image on the transparency to get the mural dimensions you want. (For the mural Daphne made, the baseball diamond on the transparency was 5 inches tall, and we set the projector 10 feet from the wall to enlarge it to almost 4 feet tall.) Use a pencil to trace the outline of the projected image (including any shaded parts) onto the wall.

5. Select your paint. Interior latex paint, which comes in quarts, is best if you're painting a few colors and filling in relatively large areas. For detail work, use artists' acrylics, available in tubes and bottles at craft and art supply stores. You'll also need appropriately sized paintbrushes.

6. Paint like a pro. For a more realistic effect, paint the background before the foreground. Step back from your mural regularly to see how it looks from the distance it will be viewed from.

Instructions
Things You'll Need

Butterfly pattern
Craft paper (heavy scrapbooking paper is best)
Pencil
Scissors
Spray Adhesive
Card stock or lightweight cardboard
Hot glue gun or craft glue

Suggest Edits

1

Find or create your own butterfly pattern. Look online for already created butterfly designs or look through science books. It isn't the detail that's important, but the shape. Keep the pattern simple; after all you will be cutting out each of these butterflies by hand so less fussy is better. Enlarge the pattern if necessary. Seven to eight inches is a good size.
2

Mount your paper butterfly pattern onto the card stock with spray adhesive. Mounting the pattern on heavier stock will help the pattern last longer, especially if you plan to create a lot of butterfly decorations.
3

Select the paper for the butterflies. Heaving scrapbooking paper works best (and also come in lots of cool designs). Look for paper that has patterns or color on both sides, because you will see the underside of these butterfly decorations.
4

Trace the butterfly shape onto the paper. Use the scissors to cut out the butterflies.
5

Bend the butterfly wings at the bodyline so the wings stand away from the surface they are mounted (and look as if they're flying).
6

Use the hot glue gun or craft glue to stick the butterfly decorations to the wall or other surfaces. These butterfly kids room decorations will delight all who see them.

New! 2012 Color Trends Home & Interior – All 9 Pantone Palettes!

Here is the full Pantone color release for Interiors & Furnishings, and Pantone’s own color stories regarding all nine color palletts! I don’t normally quote content, but as the creators, I thought you might be interested in reading Pantone’s reflections about the creative process behind this year’s color trends, straight from the source. Everyone will have favorites, but I love “The Comics” for this group’s fearless and pure color bravado. Throughout this week, I’ll take a look at the color palettes individually, and hopefully contribute meaningful thoughts and impressions on making these diverse color groups work in your home, in 2012 and beyond…

“The nine palettes for 2012 are: Nonchalance, Subtleties, Resilience, Indigo Effects, and Transcending Time, Back to the Fuchsia, Reflections, Nouveau Neon and The Comics”.

Pantone Nonchalance Palette

“The simplicity and casual ambiance in this palette, called Nonchalance, are easy to read and enjoy. The reassuring colors coax a feeling of tranquility and relaxation with no suggestion of anxiety in the surroundings. The comforting pastel pinks, ethereal blues and soft egret white wrap us in carefree baby blanket colors, harmoniously blending with the more mature taupe, gray and grape tones”.

Pantone Sublties Palette

Subtleties are just that – a close connectivity between the color families, sliding effortlessly into a seamless collection of hues that are either closely related or quietly complementary. The atmosphere they present is effortless and compatible: hazy coral, soft yellow green, faded rose, stonewashed blue and tinges of gray and green artfully set against a tasteful brown earthy red.

Pantone Resilience Palette

Resilience represents a group of sturdy hues that work very well together. It speaks of hand-hewn objects of substance, sustenance and solidity in a range of natural, outdoor shades. There are nuances of the deepest browns, varietal mushroom tones, foliage green and greenish yellow. A dash of flamingo orange adds an exotic touch to this otherwise organic grouping.

Pantone Indigo Effects

Like the twilight colors of a descending night sky, Indigo Effects evokes a mood of broad expansiveness and depth – enveloping and protective, yet mysterious. The colors are variations on a blue theme – celestial and majestic blues, purpled and deep blue indigos – all deftly brushed with contrasting strokes of maroon, mauve and moody gray.

Pantone Transcending Time Color Palette

Transcending Time is a palette that speaks of continuity – inspirations from the past, both style and color-wise, which continue well into the future – containing hues that heirlooms are made of, including elegant wine and plum, warm beige and wood tones, as well as classic rose. A touch of frosted almond adds a soft and subtle glimmer to the atmosphere.

Pantone Back To Fuschia

Bold, daring and audacious, this is a group of tantalizing colors that makes no excuses for the attention it creates. Back to the Fuchsia celebrates the energy generated through the provocative melding of dancing reds, purples and pink, all highlighted by a variety of fuchsias. Jewel-toned peridot both accentuates and complements the hotter hues.

Pantone Reflections Palette

Glossy finish and color are a magical coupling, fascinating the eye and riveting attention. Metallic or glassy surfaces undulate and move and twist and turn, taking colors to new dimensions. Included in this arresting palette, called Reflections, are tones and tints that spark the imagination: Turkish sea, blue moon, garnet, beluga, cloud dancer as well as the classic silver and gold.

The colors of the Nouveau Neon palette are not the phosphorescent neon’s of yesterday. They are instead a collection of exuberant shades that bring a fresh new perspective to combinations. Asian-inspired bamboo yellow-green plays with orange Popsicle® and berry purples, while citrus colors toy with pink and raspberry. A flavorful butter-rum tan is the unexpected accompaniment to all of the vibrant colors in the palette.

Pantone Nouveau Neon
