Black desk slows down reaction a little and dulls attention while wooden tables of more light colors create sensation of reliability and contain potential of growth. The size of a table should be convenient enough: not too greater that the employee had not to try to keep step with papers, but also not too small that it did not feel deprived. The square or rectangular table symbolizes support of an element of the Earth. Round or semicircular table better approaches for those, who is engaged in creative work.
Reflecting surfaces or mirrors in immediate proximity from a table are highly recommended as they “double” the volume of work, which needs to be done.
“Mountains” of folders and documents also render oppressing influence on our aura. Reduce quantity of papers to a minimum and leave only those documents that have the direct attitude to current work.
When you use phone, be convinced that the cord does not cross a working zone and that you can sit directly during conversation. If you bend or sit with the telephone tube pressed to a shoulder, your backbone is bent, and your energy appears blocked. It is very important for those who should make a lot of phone calls.
Avoid the light sources, located directly above a head; in effect, it is necessary to avoid any subjects, which are hanging or sticking out above a workplace. If you cannot move a light source it is possible to change position of a table a little. Shelves above a table render similar influence and should settle down sideways or behind a back.

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. 
 

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 …
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.
