The life of the most people passes in beat of the big city, grey tones and precise sides. The mega city dictates the rigid rules: steel character, laconic forms and simplicity. But the less pretentiousness we have in our life, the more luxury we want. The easier the forms are, the more original imaginations on a theme of creation of ideal space are.

These modern details of an interior cause enthusiastic exclamation “Magnifique!” and take honorable place in bedroom or sitting room because they are fine.

Authors of the project mark expected to get something original and they were not mistaken.

Ideal kitchen: Trifles and mood

December 9th, 2007

In kitchen’s interior of (as well as at any other premise) there are no unnecessary trifles, even if it is a question of absolutely small subjects: saltcellars, glasses for toothpicks or napkins’ holders. That all these small subjects help to create cosines, instead of splitting up space of kitchen, it is completely not obligatory to select them so that they were identical on color, but well to keep the harmony of the style.
For example, if there are inserted tiles with rural motives on the kitchen tile, it is possible to put whickered basket for bread or a painted saltcellar on a table. Accordingly, wrought luster will set other tone: on such kitchen trays with wrought handles or a suitable vase for fruits will look harmoniously.
It is not necessary to forget and about more appreciable interior subjects, such as hinged shelves for utensils (it is possible to choose the models decorated carved or wrought elements) and a curtain. In general window decoration plays an important role in design of any premise, and on the kitchen it becomes one of few ways to give to a room the necessary atmosphere. Air lacy curtains or practical jalousie with corresponding figure, a shelf for the decorative utensils, hiding an eaves, or set glass shelves on all window - the designer has a huge quantity of beautiful and cozy decisions.
No matter what style has been created, the ideal kitchen will turn out at preservation of balance of beauty and functionality. Huge quantity of pleasant, but fine bagatelles, which it is necessary to wipe not one hour, or a shelf with fragile souvenirs in inconvenient place, are capable to bring to nothing any design idea. However, really successful choice of interior elements differs from unsuccessful one by the fact that does not create any discomfort and gives only pleasure.┬а

Ideal kitchen: romantic teapot

December 8th, 2007

However, if it is necessary to study offers in the market of home appliances, it is possible to come to conclusion, that opposition of devices of kitchen style is not so important in some cases. Some manufacturers can offer not simply functional assistants on a facilities, but really designed bagatelles.
For example, the teapot twisted with rattan rope, or a toaster with a flower pattern on the case in it, which are the elements of design and are perfectly entered in country style of kitchen. If modeling number of the manufacturer, chosen by the mistress, is not so wide, it is possible to get models of not so white color, but of any other color: egg-yellow, terracotta, grassy тАж
Purchase of operating antiquarian devices is one more variant. Certainly, the electric kettle is very convenient and it is much comfortable to make coffee in coffee maker. But any style demands victims and use of such surprising “museum” subjects frequently not a victim, but ever lasting pleasure.
It is possible to address to the artist or to paint household appliances. Then there is a chance to create something exclusive, as much as possible suitable to design of kitchen. Certainly, dishwasher with the figure, repeating patterns on a tile, or the picturesque microwave, painted under national emblems, may become a highlight of any kitchen. The only thing is that it is necessary to consider that water resistance and thermo stability of paints were obtained. And they also should be safe in use: help to the mistress in cooking all the same remains the basic purpose of techniques and any other factors are desirable.

Ideal kitchen

December 7th, 2007

Combine incongruous
The majority of us would like to combine at the kitchen two, at first sight, opposite “directions” - high technologies and something more sincere, for example a retro or country. Certainly, someone prefers kitchen in hi-tech style and in this case plastic and the surfaces of kitchen furniture, trimmed under metal, are ideally combined.
Creation of gentle, in something “rural”, but modern kitchen requires special and frequently individual decisions. If to study the majority of design projects of such type and to find in common, it is necessary to appeal to built in techniques. When romantic “face” of kitchen is required, the idea of hiding all technical features seems very successful and easy.
Usually necessary atmosphere is created due to table and chairs (or, as a variant, benches and an angular sofa). The furniture with whickered elements, vintage inserts on a table-top is used. Thus, the kitchen is being divided into two zones: a place for cooking and a dining room - owing to use of practically opposite styles on the emotional saturation. At the same time both zones should be in harmony: a little bit romanticism “gets” on working territory, and on the contrary.

Furniture for bathroom

November 8th, 2007

Ergonomics and practicality are the basic requirements to bathroom furniture. Unfortunately, the sizes of our bathrooms do not always allow us to get greater and convenient furniture. Therefore, designers offer both original and magnificent complete sets, and compact, but capacious enough.
Prestigious: a tree
If the metric area of bathroom allow, it is better to choose wooden complete sets - from oak, birches and a tic. Certainly, they are more expensive. But designers have created a lot of models for such furniture. Practically each of them is a work of art.
The wooden furniture happens classical, ethnic and even wrought.
However, keep in mind: such furniture assumes spacious premise and good ventilation.
Middle class: laminated veneer
At cost veneer furniture borrows an intermediate niche between furniture from laminated particle board and a tree. Veneer is a thin layer of wood which structure and figure does not differ from a tree. It is beautiful and water-resistant.
Cheap: plastic
Furniture from plastic is, certainly, the cheapest one. Its???????? basic plus relies in minimalism.????
The plastic furniture (basically curbstones under a bowl and mirrors) may be both very narrow (from 50 cm at width), and wide (up to 150 cm).
Curbstones and mirrors can be angular, allowing saving a place in the bathroom.

Interactive window

November 6th, 2007

Company Philips has presented model of a new window which is, first of all, intended for hotels. This novelty under name Daylight is rather interesting to that the user can change light exposure and color scale of a premise by touch, helping people to relax and restore forces, for example, on business trips, especially after distant flights. Daylight can change a visible landscape behind a window and at the same time to reduce light exposure of number of hotel, drawing various patterns on the window. In order to increase quantity of virtual vegetation (and, accordingly, in a room) the person should stand in front of the window and touch it by hand. Similar movement gives effect of opening jalousie.
Besides, the window can carry out function of an alarm clock. If to adjust it for certain time the pattern on glass will gradually “leave”, in regular intervals increasing quantity of light passed in a premise. Thus, by then, when the person needs to wake up, its organism will be prepared, as though the real sunrise has come. Notwithstanding that it is possible “to draw” patterns from leaves on the window, to add building or other objects, Daylight remains an ordinary window behind which the real landscape is seen. Except for visual effects it is possible to adjust sound - pleasant sounds of the nature.
It is also possible “to close” a window and to take advantage of the help of light therapeutic panel Alcove Light Therapy, which surrounds it. It can be shone by various colors, both weakening, and charging energy and after long flight, and after the difficult working day. Thus, hotels and their lodgers should not pay dearly for use of a novelty as such artificial illumination consumes not enough electricity, and additional color support turns out owing to fluorescence of concept elements.

Hydromassage baths JACUZZI (Part 2)

October 23rd, 2007

Arrangement of atomizers in a bath is not also easy, but it is also very special - “anatomic”. In fact most of all the certain sites of a body require carrying out of massage: area of a waist, legs, and lateral parts of a trunk. Thus a direction of jets of the water mixed with air may be changed to the taste, simply turning an atomizer. However, it is necessary to remember, that the direct direction of a jet under pressure is not recommended, as thus blood circulation is slowed down. The positive weakening effect is reached, only when jets of water are directed under a corner to the necessary sites of a body.
There are many ways for location of hydromassage baths. Some baths are on sale with lateral panels, for other models they are to be bought separately. Sometimes in fair brochures you can see the built in a floor baths. Hardly will you manage to make it in the apartment. Besides, it is necessary to know, that at any accommodation of a bath it is necessary to provide access to water communications and the pump. So there must be sufficient space under the floor.
The bath requires special care. Such complex device should be properly operated. However, it is easy. Pneumatic type of management is the easiest one (and, perhaps, the most reliable). More intellectual management is by means of the board. Here you can program all process: a kind of massage, its duration, intensity (it is possible to enter simply the weight, and the bath will set the necessary mode), sequence of procedures. There are the models speaking in several languages.Certainly, such valuable thing requires appropriate care. Designers have already thought up about how to make this process easier. First of all, the bath is arranged so, that upon termination of work all water from pipes merges completely, the special drainage pump does not allow it to stand there. It is possible to clean it under the special program. In some models there is a tank for a disinfectant liquid. Its gulf there and having included a mode “disinfection” (in different models it can be arranged differently), you can carefully clear it, not applying special work. Do not forget to leave bath prior to the beginning of this process.
As any modern household appliance, a hydromassage bath is absolutely safe for the person. Moreover, it supervises correctness of your actions. For example, if you have not filled a bath up to the certain level, the hydromassage will not work. And the “speaking” bath will tell to you about the admitted mistake. Notwithstanding what work of the device depends on an electricity, defeat of the person by a current is excluded.
All baths fasten on a reliable skeleton. It is made of metal structures with four legs which can be adjusted on a floor level. Thus it is possible to avoid vibration and noise during work of hydromassage installation.
Despite of the utility of a hydromassage recognized by all, it is necessary to remember, that children, pregnant women and the people, suffering from intimate diseases, should consult with the doctor before these procedures.

Workplace for your boss (Part 2)

October 17th, 2007

Philosophy of style
Some features should distinguish boss????????s cabinet from other office premises.
First, the head aspires to occupy the premise which is corresponding to the status. The area of a cabinet and its interior should be special.
Secondly, presentableness of an interior as a whole and to furniture in particular should correspond to the company????????s general level. Here it is possible to emphasize or to add uniform corporate style.
Thirdly, the structure of company????????s activity should define the boss????????s cabinet interior. Stylistics of banker???????? and advertising agency director????????s office should differ from each other.
The furniture for boss can be divided into two basic groups. It is classics with its variations and modern models in hi-tech style. For a classical cabinet the rectangular forms, dear massive subjects of dark tones are being used. Furnish with veneer, leather and fabrics, use of a manual groove and gilding, socles from a natural tree emphasize prestige and create an atmosphere of a constancy and business stability. The classics usually are present at the government, financial establishments, legal offices and offices of large corporations???????? heads. The modern furniture is frequently represented in more light color scale; it may be made of glass, metal, plastic and composite materials. Such models are practical and functional.
