It is also recommended to sleep in a position when your head lies to the East as it gives you honour, popularity and prosperity. If to sleep with your legs directed to the North you may hope your prosperity will be increased. It’s also strictly prohibited to sleep with the legs directed to the South.

TEMPUS STET, EDWARD HARLEY factories offer products which cannot be distinguished from antiquarian, - the same materials, and the same figure. It seems, that there is a fascinating story behind each thing: the bronze head of the elephant or a lion excites with echoes of the colonial past; tips of arrows and the cracked horn is, certainly, the hunting trophies; and the steel core fastened in sea unit, is a tribute to traditions of navigation. The color scale is under construction on a combination of gold with black or mahogany. Even in a modern collection of eaves Phonetic Alphabet from EDWARD HARLEY, alongside with tips in the form of a transparent ball for golf, the stylized figure of the door-keeper or the handle of a sword (”Romeo”), expected gold ornaments are presented: laurel wreath, a plume from feathers, an original carved ornament (”India”). However, “archaic” eaves can be used only in a corresponding context that is in traditional “English” interiors, exacting to quality of the smallest details and their careful selection. If to speak about modern trends transparent bars for the curtains, made of acryl, are worth of especial attention. It seems that the fabric fixed on them is simply groundless. There is also a set of metal-plastic eaves, in which bearing metal core is hidden under or behind an elegant plastic environment.
According to historically developed traditions, curtains are subdivided to following attributes: geographical or national (Austrian, Italian, London, Roman, French, and Japanese); and technological (rolled, crossed, curtains-screens, curtains with pelmets). At last, types of curtains can have names behind which associative images (for example, curtains in style “cafe”) are hidden. This variety of kinds dictates both features of a cut of a fabric, and ways of its fastening at a window.
The choice of an eaves and way of fastening is dictated not only by aesthetic reasons, but also by design features of a premise. So, if partitions are executed from gypsum cardboard, they any more will not sustain a bar under a heavy portiere. It is necessary either to choose the facilitated variant with string eaves, or to fix eaves on a ceiling.
It is necessary to study more closely a design of the eaves. At identical, at first sight, mechanisms from different manufacturers some significant distinctions occur. Let????????s take, for example, such insignificant detail, as metal rings on which the curtain moves on a bar. At one manufacturer they are made homogeneous, at others - an internal surface of the ring adjoining a bar has a teflon covering. As a result, the curtain moves along a window more freely and absolutely silently. This nuance, certainly, raises the price of a product, but for nurseries and bedrooms the disposal from such active noise irritator is very desirable, if it is not necessary.

Operative open space
Working (operative) armchairs for employees, perhaps, are the most numerous and demanded kind of places for sitting at office. For convenience of moving they are supplied with small wheels, which are usually fixed on a five-beam support. The armchair should easily go for a drive silently both on fleecy, and on a smooth surface. Presence of armrests which absence can be justified only extreme narrowness of office space is desirable. Characteristic quantity for a qualitative armchair of various adjustments is not less than 5-7. And all of them are equally important. It is possible to allocate systems of adjustment of a back, a seat and armrests and mechanisms of amortization. Levers of management of an armchair should settle down, that refers to, on distance of the extended hand. Usually it is considered, that the most convenient armchair is to be offered to the employee spending on work a maximum of time, for example, to the secretary. However in practice not all heads adhere to this installation. Trying to save, they choose inexpensive armchairs which not only quickly fail for employees, but also harm to health of people. In opinion of experts, the price of a qualitative ergonomic armchair should make not less than US 500 dollars.
In the majority of the large companies special premises for holding conferences, seminars, trainings, presentations or assemblies are stipulated. Their conditions include places for sitting, which depending on the purposes and problems of actions, can be stationary or mobile. Last type is usually applied in multipurpose premises. Here transformed partitions, harmonious and mobile furniture by means of which it is possible to generate a necessary working environment easily and quickly are pertinent. Armchairs in such halls, as a rule, have folding seats (for compactness) and are often supplied with small harmonious table-tops for convenience of conducting records. These models usually have no adjustments to not create inconvenience to associates. Ergonomics is provided only with a configuration of seats and backs. And, in opinion of experts, correctly made rigid armchairs on convenience concede nothing to the soft armchairs. Such “too comfortable” models are not made in order to not to reduce concentration of attention of conferences???????? participants. Concerning the decorative materials the most practical synthetic fabrics, for example, on the basis of polyester are applied. They are distinguished with a comprehensible parity of the price, aesthetic appeal and durability.
Waiting for a dialogue
Separate type of office armchairs is represented by armchairs and chairs for trunk-call rooms. Located in a cabinet of the head, this furniture can supplement its interior or be an independent stylistic element. In isolated trunk-call armchairs on design usually correspond to a table or other subjects. More often they have no wheels as superfluous movements can distract from dialogue. A cross in trunk-call should be convenient, however not so that it would be desirable to remain long. The furniture for expectation is established in a reception hall. The main task is to provide comfort of short-term stay of the visitor. Strong armchairs, sofas with non-spottable coverings or even simple chairs if that supposes the status of a premise will be optimum here. The design of furniture for this zone, as a rule, is strict, laconic and is even conservative. Any angular forms are quite pertinent. In some cases the zone of expectation can be combined with trunk-call and carry out functions of a zone for informal dialogue of employees and visitors digging.

Many of us spend the most part of day in sitting position. That is why it so important to choose office armchair, which would not only help with work, but would also care of our health. Physicians approve, that loading on a backbone of the sitting person is approximately ten times more, than lying. But it is not an occasion to lead a life on a sofa. It is more reasonable to arrange the work so that as small as possible to feel the burdens of sedentary inactive work. Basically, an armchair, a sofa or a chair are the usual subjects of office furniture. They should be reliable and convenient in application and look attractive and presentable. However seats are much “closer to a body”, than, a table or a wardrobe. At a choice of office armchairs and chairs it is important to estimate not only the external advantages of products, but it is necessary to sit in it. The correct choice of a place for sitting guarantees you comfort and working capacity for long years.
Armchair for the boss is the important component of internal and external image of the company. It should be solid, correspond to stylistics of a premise and design of other subjects of an interior. By means of an armchair the boss can emphasize the own status before subordinates and business partners or clients - a level of the company as a whole. Therefore a place for director does first of all presentable, sometimes even to the detriment of its ergonomics. It is especially important that the armchairs should be made of expensive and qualitative materials. It can be the rare breeds of tree, leather. Combinations of materials - for example, leather and fabrics are rather popular. Natural clap or wool can be used as inserts. Mixed fabrics, on 10-80 % consisting of wool and on 10-15 % - from polystyrene - are very practical. Armchairs are usually made with replaceable covers that simplifies care of furniture. Top-managers often use models, not almost differing from operative armchairs.

Superficial cleaning
Before you start any cleaning procedure it is necessary to be convinced that the carpet is reliably fixed, and then it is necessary to remove a cud from a surface of a carpet.
Cleaning by a vacuum cleaner still remains the most widespread cleaning method. It helps to remove 20-30 percent of dirt. The professional vacuum cleaners possessing the big capacity and simultaneously having low noise level are irreplaceable at daily cleaning carpets in premises with high attendance.
Superficial cleaning does not mention depth of pile and it is a “cosmetic” method, but when work is carried out with the trained stuff, the result will be quite high.
Shampoo cleaning
At cleaning by shampoo the one-disk machine supplied by washing brushes (with soft pile) is used. Such way of cleaning is based on formation of stable foam. The machine by means of a brush rubs foam which gets into fibres in a surface of a carpet, liberates dirt and incorporates them in it. It will not make the big work to remove the rests of a washing-up liquid and pollution after drying a covering.
This method is also considered as “cosmetic” one. Such method is widely used in restaurants, hotels and everywhere where the time for drying carpets is limited as it guarantees a weak humidifying a carpet.
Dry cleaning by powders or granules
The technology of dry cleaning by powders or granules assumes using machine for a floor or the machine supplied by a rotating cylindrical brush, and also a dry powder or the granules containing cleaning reagents.
In a method of dry cleaning property of granules is used and microscopic particles powders absorb dirty particles. They operate as a usual absorbing sponge.
Dry cleaning has a lot of advantages: it does not require water and does not demand time for drying the carpet. It is possible to walk on the carpet just after its cleaning.
Damp cleaning with shampoo
Damp cleaning is a method deep cleaning; it is used for cleaning strongly polluted carpet coverings. The frequency of washing is defined by the compromise between cleanliness and durability. It is obvious, that the covering should be pure. But it should serve as long as possible and, certainly, washing doesn????????t prosper it. There are such places in which carpet coverings washing is practically daily done (lifts, some corridors).
For such kind of washing only the not foaming shampoos (as foaming means too deeply get into a carpet, and sometimes and in a floor which to that regularly is exposed to destroying influence) are used.

Now there is a big choice of carpets for any type of premises. Carpets do more cosy not only apartments, but also offices, therefore it is necessary to pay special attention to ways of care of them. Many large companies spend millions dollars for creation of corporate image. But incorrectly chosen program on carpet cleaning can essentially impair a little an image of firm.
Cleaning of the carpet without cleaning techniques knowledge is insufficiently effective: carpet coverings quickly wear out. And in fact for last 30 years the technology of their cleaning was considerably improved. Thus, first of all, the professional cleaner pays attention to structure of carpet covering.
In a greater part of the Europe woolen and half-woolen carpet coverings are widely used. It is considered, that the traditional woolen covering has advantages before synthetic one: it does not accumulate a static electricity and provides comfort with the softness. Its only lack is its leaky bearing against the floor.
In America and Russia synthetic carpet coverings are very popular. Constantly improving, the synthetic carpet covering becomes more attractive and more antistatic.
The higher the maintenance of natural fibres in a carpet is, the more difficult cleaning will be. The carpet from natural fibres detains dirt more actively than synthetic carpet does.
Pile and coloring
The density of pile considerably influences methods of carpet cleaning. The more densely pile is, the more dirty pieces will remain on its surface. The carpet of high quality can detain up to one kilogram of dirt on each square meter, and its pollution will be imperceptible. Usually basic store of dirt is the top part of pile is approximately 30 percent of its length.
The majority of carpets are resistant to acids. Average concentration acid means rinse improves color of the carpet, softens it and prolongs term of exploitation. Many cleaning carpets means have an alkaline basis. Their constant use is reflected in brightness of paints and can lead to partial loss of color. It is necessary to be especially close at work with multi-color carpets as coloring one part of a carpet in color borders is possible.

Premises
First of all you should be defined with a room for musical needs prevalue. If you can afford it to you, a room in which except for the equipment there will be only a sofa for comfortable listening will be the ideal variant. And it is quite undesirable to obstruct room with sofa, wardrobe, table, chairs, the TV set. It????????s not so absolutely bad, but in this case you will listen to music “as all other people” will.
The upholstered furniture, however, won????????t make any harm. And it is highly recommended to get rid of the mezzanine (or something similar, made of glass or metal). Glass, as is known, “likes” to jingle loudly, especially from low-frequency sounds, and we don????????t really need this.
Talking about the architecture of the room, it is possible to say that in ideal, it should represent a parallelepiped and to be as larger as possible. These are the typical acoustic concepts. If the room has the different sizes on length, width and height - you can fully hope for the best sound broadcasting. And, when the length though one wall will coincide with height of a room, there will be a low-frequency resonance and it will spoil all sound effect with the booming sounding.
Soft and velvety wall-papers will “spare” your neighbors???????? ears from loud noise and liquidate that low-frequency resonance if it nevertheless arises. Besides such wall-papers and velvet portieres will effectively absorb a sound, not allowing it to be reflected from walls and to force to jingle.
Techniques accommodation
For competent installation, first of all, you should buy a rack for the equipment. First of all, such installation system looks good. Secondly, you will not get confused in wires, and all techniques will appear in one convenient place. Thus the “correct” rack will allow improving acoustic characteristics of all system. Now it is a high time to place columns. If you have the four high-frequency satellites, you should place them in the corners. And if you have only two columns it recommended placing the face-to-face wall corners. You should put them behind sofa and to tilt satellites on twenty degrees from the center of a room

The stylized equipment manufacturing is one more direction in creation of kitchen techniques. Many companies have the whole retro-series including an oven, a cooking surface and an extract. In white kitchen in country style even the extract can be sheathed wooden cover under the furniture color; for achievement of harmony in an interior in the same style the plate is carried out.
The modern style kitchens, besides “under the olden times” variants, demand techniques demonstration. In such kitchens the techniques are an ornament and the important decorative detail of kitchen interior. As a rule, at arrangement of such kitchen, all subjects (plates, ovens, the microwave ovens, etc.) are bought from one manufacturer. It is the easiest way of keeping to one style.
According to the level of used technologies and, accordingly, the prices, all kitchen techniques can be conditionally divided into techniques of a luxury class, an average and economy class.
The luxury kitchen technologies reach a high level of progress development. For example, the extract at a pulse level defines the optimum mode corresponding work of an induction cooking surface which, in turn, is difficult for naming an oven. Here, the process of cooking occurs due to contact of an induction surface to utensils at the bottom of which the magnetic layer the Plane of the oven remains cold during the whole process. The refrigerator makes ice, shows cinema and orders products through the Internet. Coffee makers and other “fine” techniques of super-kitchen are also built in.
The middle-class kitchen devices are also usually being built in. Extracts have the touch control panel (cope a contact), a refrigerator is two-chamber, and the separate refrigerating case can be established for storage of wine. The ceramic cooking panel is built in a table-top, and the oven has system of self-cleaning. The microwave oven, a combine, a toaster are on the kitchen, but they are not built in, as it was done in luxury-class kitchens.
And finally, let????????s talk about the techniques for kitchen of an economy class. If you are limited in means, it does not mean that you won????????t be able to equip the kitchen to your taste. It is possible to save some money, having bought not the already built in techniques, but a “solo” variant. We assure you that neither quality of work nor its characteristics will suffer from this.
The main thing at designing and a choice of a variant of registration of kitchen is to analyze the way of life and, depending on it, to define the list of necessary functions of the premise. And then even the most laconic composition can become a quite sufficient and exhaustive variant of your favorite kitchen.

Depending on a way of life of owners the kitchen can play a different role in an interior of the modern house.
If the kitchen is not intended for the place of preparing food, it can be united both into the sitting room and a dining room. Such kitchen, for example, in the house of a bachelor or young childless family, can consist of a minimum of furniture, practically only from home appliances. This stylish small kitchen consists of the big refrigerator with branches for wine, a cooking surface and a sink. Racks for utensils (glass and plastic) and the small chrome plated serving trolley have rollers and they can move. In such kitchen the extract is not practically used and has the more likely function of the decorative shelf.
The absolutely different situation is when the kitchen is used on its direct purpose and to the full: it is a place of cooking for all family. In such kitchen there should be a lot of the various home devices and there should be enough furniture - all this should serve to the maximal convenience for cooking. Therefore - functionality, and from this point of view, kitchen is better to be isolated by the basic criteria of kitchen designing.
Modern kitchen is often the most “advanced” premise in the house, most of all sated by home devices. But even the most hi-tech equipment presently quickly enough becomes obsolete - in fact practically every year the techniques is updated, and it is necessary to be ready to that bought today washing or the dishwasher tomorrow will soon become outdated.
Therefore, maybe, also it is not necessary to select techniques only by a principle of innovations. It is meaningful, getting home appliances, to pay special attention not only on its characteristics, but also to think over, how much organically it will be entered in the general design decision of kitchen interior. Thus the style harmony, certainly, is better for observing; however there are interesting variants when the “hi-tech” equipment was implemented into the classical kitchen. Mixture of styles is quite risky, but the result can be very original.
But, aspiring to harmony of the style, it would be erroneous to consider, that the “conservative” kitchen in classical style or “retro” style cannot be well-equipped. The companies-manufacturers often do kitchen furniture under the individual order; therefore the techniques can be hidden behind wooden panels. The full sensation of kitchen in an ancient estate is created: the presence of modern home appliances can be guessed, but it can????????t be seen.

Mobile furniture
Constant aspiration to knowledge and to reorganization is the characteristic feature of all children and teenagers. So, we advise you to meet these desires - screw on furniture in a children’s room small wheels. Such wardrobe (table, sofa) can be easily moved from one place to another place or, for example, to be fenced off by it from the annoying younger brother if children share one room for two.
Miracle carpet
It is possible to make a wonderful carpet for children????????s room from pieces of the carpet coverings remained after the repair or bought on sale. It is necessary to cut through both coverings - and a background, and curved fragment to make all the details ideally coincide. Then you should collect the received fragments as a mosaic and fix (from a wrong side) a bilateral sticky tape and paste on any felt covering. The carpet it is ready!
Star sky
These wall-papers look like usual wall-papers of soft color and with lovely asterisks. But it is just necessary to switch off in the evening light - and all asterisks start to be shone by soft, muffled light. Such effect suffices, certainly, not for all night, but it is quite enough for that the child to go sleep with pleasure. Such wall-papers (pasted both on walls and on a ceiling) are recommended for those kids who one is afraid to sleep in darkness.????
Bed-sofa
If your kid has grown up, you may remove the forward panel from a bed. Now it is possible to use darling sofa for child????????s visitors.
