Interior design ideas

Japanese designer Takeshi Miyakawa has developed a case-curbstone, intended for small city apartments.
Name Fractal 23 reflects a structure of this unusual subject of furniture: twenty three boxes of the different sizes, from very capacious up to very small, are put forward from a skeleton as if from a locker, and in the combined kind they represent a white cube.
Externally the case-curbstone reminds also light, laconic furniture of the Japanese house, and a puzzle, which is inside of one space hides a set of small ones. Harmless Fractal 23 is made of tree.
The studio of designer Takeshi Miyakawa works for eight years, developing original interior subjects.

False ceiling in bathing is very fashionable nowadays. Feature of bathroom, to which it is necessary to pay attention at furnish of a ceiling first of all, is that it is premise with the raised humidity. The surface of ceiling can contact not only with damp air, but also with water. Accordingly at choice of a material it is necessary to be assured in its moisture resistance.
Coverings with incorrectly picked up moisture resistance after a while start either to stratify, or to rust under the influence of fungi and bacteria. All other requirements to ceilings in bathing (light-reflective and sound-proof ability, fire resistance, and ecological cleanliness) completely correspond to the general, shown to ordinary ceiling designs.
Furnish of a ceiling in a bathroom by means of a pendant design is one of variants of decisions. It is beautiful and functional - under a false ceiling it is possible to hide electro posting, ventilating etc. rack metal ceilings, tiled, and also from water-resistant gypsum cardboard perfectly approach for bathing.
Today some types of tiled false ceilings are being produced. Not all of them are suitable for bathrooms - everything depends on material. It is possible to choose plates from a mineral fiber. This material is not afraid of moisture. However, besides mineral fiber the structure of such plates includes a secondary paper, clay and organic additives.

If bedroom in the house is a separate room, it is highly recommended to use light pastel and warm tone, creating atmosphere of coziness. When the bedroom is not large, it is desirable to avoid right contrast colors. It is better to play on nuances - shades of one color or close to color scale tones.
Natural materials, natural colors - a lot of alive greens of plants and tree, light curtains and jalousie, a carpet from a wool or banana fiber on light parquet, fixtures with soft diffused light. In a bedroom it is possible to make a zone of rest with an armchair, a floor lamp and a low table. The bed can be separated by partition with shelves, low rack or translucent fabric jalousie. It is also possible to allocate a zone of rest, having covered a floor in with a carpet or a carpet covering of other color.
But bed, nevertheless, remains the basic furniture of bedroom. And it is necessary to choose it correctly. Every possible variants of skeletons, mattresses and headboards require thoughtful and slow choice, and, of course, experts’ recommendations. Skeletons and mattresses -are imperceptible, but the most important parts of your bedroom. They define qualities of dream and rest.
At a choice of a mattress it is necessary to pay attention not only to its softness or hardness, but also to a possible allergens in structure of its layers or features filling material. For example, latex mattress is made of natural or artificial foam rubber. It is the most durable type of mattresses, but they are not recommended to people with raised diaphoresis.

Many factories, having given in to charms of minimalism, precise lines and brilliant surfaces, have decided to devoteв the whole collections to high-tech style. This problem has been in the best way solved by three factories - Esedra, Grossmann and Status.
So, Italian factory Esedra specializes on decorative fixtures. Esedra combine rigid character of a mega city and own game of design, idea, and light. Other Italian factory - Status - combines in the fixtures severity and a practicality. Already more than 30 years production of company Status guarantees high quality and functionality. The laconic, brilliant fixtures executed in cold tones, become an original interior detail and will emphasize purposefulness, activity and gravity of the owner. The lamp with the fantastic name Colibri, created in 1998, is the sample of minimalism and the favorite of office interiors, and collections of fixtures of factory Status, for example, Papira is a combination of the high quality, the sated, deep color palette and functionality.
German company Grossmann has made high tech as the basic style direction. Grossmann is a real German quality, a wide range both decorative, and architectural light, a variety of models and interesting details.

Choosing between spring and spring less kinds of mattress, you will, certainly ask yourself about which one is better. It appears, orthopedic properties can be shown at any qualitative mattress only when it will be correctly picked up, and after the analysis of set of all data - weights of the person, its “special” (problems with a backbone) and personal sensations. So, the full person “will fail” in a soft mattress, and thin one will not feel a special difference between board and rigid rookery. Some firms give the information on an allowable weight among other parameters. Therefore, before to make such expensive purchase (the price can vary from 500 dollars up to 5 thousand dollars), and especially at Internet purchase, it is necessary to direct all over again to the nearest interior and to test available variants in operation. It means that you need not only to sit, but also to lie down on the exhibit as if you have decided to have a sleep.
If to speak about details, models with dependent (classical) springs (linked among them on all cloth and consequently creating wave effect), despite of essential prize in the price, are confidently superseded by mattresses with springs.
Each spring is compressed exactly as much as weight of your body needs, not paying attention to the neighboring springs. Such mattress, are carefully supporting and repeating each bend of your body and do not allow it to become numb. As a result, you will have a sweet sleep. Because of absence of wave effect, spouses, lying on one mattress, will not bother each other.

The furniture in Russian or pseudo-Russian style has for the first time appeared at the international exhibition in 1867 in Paris. And it will be successfully exhibited at the further, always causing genuine interest of public and experts. It is indicative, that the products executed in this style, have forced Europeans to change the opinion of Russia and more closely to concern to what Russian manufacturers offered.
The new direction, in which genuine interest and surprise prevail comes on change to opinion occurred in the West that “Russia is the country of imitations”, and its manufacturers are guided only by creation of copies. European experts have at once noted, that Russia aspires to be released from whose that there were influences to create own, based on national elements, style.
Russian furniture has completely grown from these conditions. Connections of a tree are not hidden by artificial veneer, but, on the contrary, to they are attaching special expressive significance. It also explains why partitioning of separate parts are executed with full understanding of the elementary techniques; each element makes impression, as if it has been quickly and easily made by a cutter or on a lathe.
No any synthetic material, but a tree can fill the house with such powerful natural power.

1. Stucco molding, arches and columns
These are, apparently, the beautiful and effective receptions, borrowed from classical style, as a rule, look quite trite, especially if to apply them in with low ceilings.

2. Two-layer curtains - rich portieres with brushes + tulle
The aspiration to create the illusion of rich interior has appeared a long time ago. The last century, trying to show off to clients, resourceful owners of provincial hotels created in them similarity of expensive “capital” interiors with plush portieres, a counterfeit marble and pictures in frames “under bronze”.

3. National carpets on a wall

4. “Design” house fountains
Today it is possible to meet the house fountains made really with taste. This design element is not too popular but if it meets (under the comprehensible price) it almost for certain means, that the fountain will be issued by the most intricate image: it is decorated by artificial moss of the poisonous emerald color, varnished stones, figures of gnomes and other attributes of a “beautiful” life. And it looks natural only in “ecological style”.

5. Imitations and fakes
Fakes existed at all times: cheap things were covered with gilding, and glass has been given out for brilliants. Today a marble ancient, frescos and tiles are being forged - and it is done at much higher level. Even the star sky on a ceiling may be imitated-by means of fine light-emitting diode bulbs or simply covering with huge gold stars. Alas, all these beauty inherently differ nothing from the faded plastic roses in a crystal vase. It looks cheap and ugly at the same time.

6. All “touching”
It is also too ineradicable classics - it is a logic continuation of the same elephants and uncountable porcelain figures of any herdesses, girls with needlework, busts of composers and other inhabitants of the glazed world of sideboards.

Good taste in interior requires victims, but not such greater as it seems at first sight. It is not so easy to refuse from old habits, but sometimes it is simply vital.

Today three kinds of amalgamators - one-lever, two-level and thermostatic ones are considered as the most popular kinds. One-level is the most simple in operation. It is enough to lift the lever to turn on water, and it is possible to adjust its temperature turn of the same lever.
From the point of view of maintenance of comfort and the savings of water and energy thermostatic amalgamators can be considered as the Optimum variant. Basically, the thermostatic amalgamator solves the same problem, as the ordinary one: it mixes hot and cold water. As well as at ordinary amalgamator, it also has two handles-regulators. Here only one of them adjusts a pressure of water, and another - temperature of water from the amalgamator. Modern thermostatic amalgamators are completed with ceramic and rod cartridges. The important property of the thermostatic amalgamator relies in its capabiliity to work in economical mode when the user himself establishes the optimum charge of water. For example, in Grotherm 3000 (Grohe), Oras Optima (Oras), Ceratherm (Ideal Standard), and also Damixa, Hansgrohe and other amalgamators there is a function of water stream restriction: the economic button or a special mark are located on the lever of the device. In amalgamators MORA two mechanisms of economy of water are used. In one case the device of the amalgamator limits a pressure of water by means of “turbo-jet” function.

Sometimes modern design furniture surprises us with absolutely unexpected forms and coloring. Designers’ imagination is just so unpredictable: from their easy hand at tables ballet legs “grow”, and crumpled bag appears improbably convenient armchair. It is so surprising, but it is the fact: so strange, at first sight, subjects are rather convincingly looking even in not most vanguard interior. And very few people will refuse such hazardous employment, as bright and unexpected change of conditions.
Freedom of self-expression
Spaghetti sofa Boa from Edra is extremely effective and creates illusion of grandiosely design, being hidden in other rooms.
No interdictions
This furniture orders neither your interior, nor your private world. It will be constant irritator, a hedgehog, but at the same time it is the main and favorite highlight of furniture of your room. Strange furniture comrade can be picked up for any corner of the house: no matter whether it will be your sitting room, corridor or even a bathroom. A book shelf-transformer with the image of the naked girl from driade, a sconce in the form of a web from Baker or a head of the English bulldog from crystal of honey color from Daum… Designers call to concern interior with humor.
Company Colombostile, on strange coincidence of circumstances, is registered among sound classical factories. In its assortment, really, there are classical samples, original “retorts” of imperial furniture, but Colombostile is famous for the furniture mad nesses with classical implied sense. Therefore the majority of last collections Colombostile look, at least, as mockery at all classical styles.
