Interior design ideas

This beautiful and practical finishing material is intended for those to whom the usual ceramic tile seems too tasteless. Also it is necessary to note, that the popularity of mosaic that came to us from antique times has considerably grown for the last years. Now, it is possible to meet fine mosaic compositions and art panels, unique in the charm, in apartments and private houses.
What to choose?
Basically, any mosaic represents the figure made of certain number of small details. Today the Venetian glass is the most widespread material for its manufacturing - it is strong and durable. As designers approve, the color palette of the Venetian glass is practically infinite, as various substances - from cadmium and selenium up to nacre- are added into it. Usually, the type-setting elements (modules) of a glass mosaic have the square form. And the fewer modules are, the more detailed elaboration of the image will be. As a rule, such mosaic is used for facing a floor and walls in any premises, though on kitchen, though in a bathroom. Sometimes colorful mosaic panels on fireplaces and furniture are made from the Venetian glass.
Smalto is one of versions of a glass mosaic. It, unlike the Venetian glass, differs by the special, sated shades. Modern smalto is received due pressing fine parts of color glass, which are being baked at 700-800 degrees temperature within the day. As a result the material becomes very strong, almost as the diamond, proof to influence of household chemical goods. Designers love smalto because it is shone from within. Besides each detail differs from the others by the shade, so, even the greater surface, which has been laid out by smalto of one color, hardly reminds the rainbow. And owing to the wear resistance, smalto mosaic, as well as, is used for places with the raised loading - floors in kitchen, pool, etc.

It is good, when a bedroom large, and the wardrobe room adjoins to it. In this case all things hang on a coat hanger - it is possible to come and choose all that is necessary. And the bedroom is furnished only with a bed, bedside-tables and a picture on a wall. But not all people have such bedroom. If the bedroom is not so large, it is possible to take an advantage of wardrobe-cloak-room. By the way, this variant is both more convenient and cheaper, than the usual wardrobe.
If you have a greater double bed, which is pleasant to you, and you are not going to refuse from it, it is necessary to keep a bed and to win vital space. The bed in a bedroom should be located so that it was convenient for both partners. And that it would be convenient for use to both people, sleeping on it. In fact, when one person (sleeping at a wall) will get out from the bed or get into it, he should not awake another sleeping person. It is good during a honeymoon and some time after it, but in due course it starts to irritate.
Some people feel uncomfortable enough when they sleep in a room with high ceilings. This desire - is to create low and consequently the cozy space pursued the person all life in a sleeping zone in a sleeping zone. It is enough to recollect covers. If you just like to sleep in “underestimated” zone you can try arranging the underestimated zone above the bed. At high quality of installation and furnish you will feel, as if you are a king and you are sleeping in the castle.
And the last about what it is necessary to tell is a stylistic harmony of bedroom????????s interior. Some people consider that it is necessary to select very carefully one element of an interior to another - the floor should correspond to doors, a door - to furniture, and subjects of furniture - one to another.
If we want to have an excellent interior of a bedroom, we just should form it by this principle as though it was formed within the decades - then the present habitation precisely will turn out.

Today there are a lot of different partitions, depending on the size, type, a design, a kind of a used material, etc. The special place among them goes to glass which is popular among builders, designers and, the most important - among customers.
Glass partitions are usually established at offices, for registration of inputs in buildings, on industrial sites. They are irreplaceable at creation of blocks-sections in premises for administrative-and-management personnel, a protection service, banks, etc.
The partitions quite often should correspond to the increased requirements on sound insulation, mechanical durability (ability to protect from impact, from fire-arms). In such cases the basic constructive elements of partitions become double-glazed windows from the shock-proof tempered glasses of stalinit type, triplex, and the reinforced glass. If there is a necessity for creation of the glass protections, excluding direct visibility through them, deaf double-glazed windows, in space between which glasses place fiber glass, caoline cotton wool, matte, including synthetic, a film are used. There are also special glasses with unilateral visibility, tone and such kinds of light-scattering matte glass, as corrugated, glasses “frost” and “blizzard”.

Secret of reliability
Durability of biometric locks - is, perhaps, the most important question arising at potential buyers. Thus very few people know that it is much easier to put out of action the mechanical lock, than the biometric one. It is enough to insert a match into the cylinder lock. “Biometrics” has no functional apertures which could be jammed. The area of a sensor control can maintain physical influence up to 3,5 ton-forces per 1 centimeter.
On a level of reliability and security biometric locks come nearer to the average and high level mechanical devices (or middle and high security according to the international classification standard), and on privacy they do not concede to mechanical locks with a high protection degree (there are more than 3 million combinations).
Patterns for memory
One of the main advantages of biometric locks relies in their convenience about what we have already spoken. They do require neither keys, nor magnetic cards, storing code combination. These locks have also many other advantages: an automatic reminder on the open door, night illumination, inclusion of an internal siren in case of breaking attempt, signal, reminding that it is time to replace batteries.
As if to lacks these are the characteristic disadvantages of all biometric devices. The matter is that all mechanisms of recognition in biometric systems - and in our case is a question of the sensor controls, distinguishing papillary pattern of fingers - are not ideal. The more sensitive sensor control is, the higher risk, that it “will not identify” not only another’s, but also the owner????????s fingers will be. Though it is considered, that papillary patterns should not be changed during a life, nevertheless there are different situations because of which on a skin there can be damages, grazes and the scratches changing fingerprint for a while. In order to avoid discomfiture, experts recommend programming a maximum quantity of prints of fingers in memory of the biometric lock. And the memory reserve allows doing this: many models can remember up to 100 prints.
The price of comfort
Cost of locks depends on many factors. These are the stability to mechanical damages, locking mechanism, and a degree of privacy, quantity of prints which can be reserved in the memory. In case of the household models used in premises, the quantity of prints usually does not exceed 100 and memory of office models can contain even 200 prints.
The average price of the biometric locks, used for apartments and country houses, - starts from 500 up to 1,5 thousand dollars. Biometric locks are rather expensive, but they are quite comparable to cost of mechanical locks of a high security class. Usually the price includes also installation of the lock.
Choosing the biometric lock for the house, it is necessary to remember the following peculiarities. If you have usual family you will easily buy the lock with 100 prints memory. Locks with greater prints memory are more expensive. Today????????s biometric locks world market is represented with the South-Korean and Chinese companies: Shenzhen Ideal Microelectronics, Bosch, Testech Inc., Hongda Opto-Electron, Linkmath Biotech and others.

Both fantastic strengthening of locks and doors, nor new technologies of confidential flutes and “floating” pins in grooves of keys, rescue from room thefts. The most advanced citizens have already understood it and have started to equip the houses with the biometric locks, working by a principle of “owner recognition” on his individual bioparameters. In experts???????? opinion such locking devices have the big future. Though they, as well as any other supersensitive electronics, possess not only advantages, but also lacks.
Development in the field of biometric security techniques were conducted from the beginning of 90th by the several companies in the USA the, Europe and Japan simultaneously. But in real life they became demanded only about six years ago. While the market share of biometric locks does not exceed 1 % in comparison with usual mechanical locks, but it is just the beginning. Experts consider, what these are the “biometrics” that are to become the interior future. However, now process is broken for two banal reasons: the high price and natural human mistrust to all new.
However, as practice shows, both high price and unstable demand are surmountable. In due time mobile phones, only having appeared in the market, cost very dearly, but already some years later, manufacturers, having understood, that so their business will not go, have flooded the market with qualitative and accessible at the price of models. So, depreciation of biometric devices is just a matter of time. As if to the second item, the statistics speaks the following: loyalty of people to biometric locks is highest in those countries where biometrics starts to be applied actively in different areas. Germany, which first of the EU countries passes to biometric passports and where on this background sales of “biolocks” recently have strongly increased, is ahead all planet.
Show your fingers
Papillary pattern on small pillows of fingers of hands is unique for each person. Action of all biometric locks is based on this principle of uniqueness. The lock “learns” the owner: put your finger to a special sensor control - to the device visually perceiving a unique ornament from grooves - and the door opens.
Besides the ability to learn the owner on a hand, biometric locking devices possess all characteristics of usual mechanical locks, including anti-cracking and privacy. Biometric lock has one more essential advantage before the mechanical lock- convenience. If you have established the biometric lock at home, at you don????????t have to carry keys or a magnetic card.
For the sake of justice it is necessary to notice, that some manufacturers till now prefer to duplicate the mechanism of recognition by a mechanical key or the code identifier. But, in opinion of some market experts, it is done, more likely, not for secure, but in the marketing purposes. The biometric device is difficult enough for putting out of action, but it still causes mistrust. “And what if the techniques will not work? What if something will suddenly close, and electronics will hang, will fail?”- These are the questions of person, dared to equip the house with biometric lock. In such cases usual spare keys easily dispel doubts in unreliability of electronics.

The melancholic person = 1+5; the choleric person = 2+6; the sanguine person = 3+7; the phlegmatic person = 4+8
Interior for the choleric person

Furniture in interiors is more often without sharp corners, it is usually of round or the oval form. The color score of furniture and all interior should be light: various, not irritating shades yellow from pale yellow and colors of sand - up to amber-yellow and bright-terracotta colors.????

People have thought up pillows many centuries ago. Their earliest images, which have reached us, are represented with ancient-Egyptian pillows. Pillows accompany us from the very beginning of the life. They are the symbol of heat and coziness.
There were times when the quantity of pillows defined a level of prosperity of the house. They were put on beds as a hill. There were so many pillows in a owner’s bedroom of rich family, that it was almost necessary to put a special bench to shift unnecessary pillows on it, when the owners went to bed.
Later, when rigid armchairs and sofas began to enter into our everyday life, sofa pillows have appeared. They were a prototype of modern upholstery and were considered as a especially functional thing. With arrival of upholstered furniture pillows have not lost their interior role- they have even become an element of an interior, sometimes even, a work of art, as a picture on a wall or a figurine on the shelf. By the way, in Russian manor of pillows were the samples of lordly needlework: they were put in order to modernize and rejuvenate the interior. And on the contrary: splendor, grandiosity can be easily set by the abundance of smart pillows with appreciable decor.
Pillows are put on the armchairs, sofas, beds and chairs, even on the floor. They are so various, that everyone has the right to choose such feature in conformity with the taste - greater or small, soft or is more rigid pillow. By the way, standard sofa pillow has the size of 40?????40 centimeters, however, 80-centimetric copies perfectly lay down on modern huge sofas, and decorative idea can be of 15-20- centimeters size.
Unfortunately, floor pillows are almost forgotten.
Pillows are sewed from different fabrics. Presently to a course there is not only traditional velvet, a Gobelin, artificial and natural fur, a leather and guipure are widely used. The choice of fabric is not practically caused by stylistics of an interior.
