Interior design ideas

The house aquarium can be floor, built in, dioramic, pendant. Each variant has its advantages and its lacks. But any aquarium needs to be placed so that it has been limited in illumination by direct solar beams (no more than 2 hours a day). It at all does not mean, that the “house” of small fish’s should not be put near the window - simply in this case it is necessary to hold a window curtained off for a part of day, that is not always convenient.
The floor aquarium is the most widespread variant because of comparative simplicity of a design and convenience in service. The complex includes capacity from a transparent material for water, a support and a cover-fixture. By the way, such aquarium should not always represent a correct parallelepiped - sharp corners and rounding off are also possible. Models of 500-600 liters in volume should be established on strong curbstones inside of which all equipment and dry forage for fishes can be hidden.
The support may be opened or closed - it is necessary to consider stylistics of an interior. If there is a lot of tree in a room then a curbstone also should be made of tree or in tone of furniture or doors. We advise to use aluminum and glass, smooth surfaces with illumination in avant-garde interiors. In the bathroom it is possible to revet a curbstone with ceramic tile or ceramoplastics.
The built in aquarium can be a part of a niche or an interroom partition, therefore its depth usually does not exceed 350 mm, and its width quite often reaches 3 meters. Such object is equally elegantly looks in two, divided by it, premises, sometimes carrying out a function of a night-lamp. It is much more difficult to mount a similar design and to look after it, than in it was in the first case. You should also remember that such aquarium requires much more space.
The aquarium-diorama represents a mix of two previous variants - with that only a difference, that its forward wall is concave with small radius of curvature. As a result the observer has a sensation of “immersing” in the underwater world. According to designers, it is very difficult and very expensive to make and establish such design (either in floor, or in the built in variant), but the visual effect will surpass even the most courageous expectations.
The pendant aquarium allows saving a place, but, naturally, is limited by requirements on weight (more often up to 100 kg) and to the sizes. Its version enjoying recently by the big popularity, is a “picture” aquarium. It is named so because it has a depth of no more than 18 centimeters, and the specific glass is usually framed by a baguette.
If you want to buy the aquarium, we advise you to discuss such questions with the designer as aquariums influence not so much on the borrowed area of the room, but on the quality of external perception of a piece of a underwater empire, stability of the biological balance, the spent electric power, quantity of small fishes etc.

Experts of the real estate market are unequivocal in the opinion - the contract of hiring should be concluded without fail who was the potential tenant.The basic moments which are necessary for reflecting in the contract are:

1. A rent payment. It cannot vary unilaterally during all validity of the contract;

2. Validity of the contract;

3. Transfer of all tenants, including children, with the instruction of nameplate data. This item will save the proprietor from of some the troubles connected with subrent;

4. The deposit (mortgage). The size of the deposit is usually equal to a monthly payment. Here it is important to register not only the sum of the deposit, but also to list carefully all those cases in which of the deposit in favor of the proprietor the certain sum will be withheld. For example, if in the contract the deposit is left for long-distance negotiations and damage of the TV and the renter has broken a suitcase it will be impossible to fine the renter;

5. Who, when and also what pays the accounts. Usually municipal payments and a user’s payment for stationary phone the proprietor pays, and light and long-distance negotiations - the renter. The Internet is paid as agreed;

6. Notwithstanding the fact that the renter should ask the sanction of the proprietor to any changes in an apartment, skilled realtors advise to add in the contract a line that all rearrangements, re-planning, delivery of an apartment in subrent, residing in an apartment of the third parties can be carried out only from the sanction of the proprietor;

7. Delays of payments. It is necessary to register penal sanctions at a delay of payments (a delay of what duration, etc.);

8. Prescheduled cancellation. Here it is necessary to register the admissible reasons of prescheduled cancellation of the contract, a condition, and presence of penal sanctions. The proprietor can stipulate, that the deposit will not be returned in case of prescheduled break of the contract by the renter;

9. If an apartment requires a repair, it also should be stipulated in the contract;

10. Current repair of all breakages of electricity, batteries is usually done by the renter, and this also should be matched in the contract (the sum can be subtracted from a rent).

At signing the contract the proprietor should present under the first requirement of the renter the appropriate documents on an apartment and the passport of the proprietor. If the proprietor has found out, that the apartment is maintained not how it has been stipulated in the contract, the sequence of the actions would be the following:

1. The oral/written prevention and/or the penalty;

2. A call to real estate agency (if the proprietor of an apartment handed over it without the help of agency, and preventions do not operate it is necessary to pass to the following item);

3. A designation of terms of eviction;

4. The reference into the court.

As psychologists approve that illumination is capable to influence an atmosphere of a premise. Therefore for kitchen it is necessary to choose such scheme of illumination which would favor to the main applicability of this premise - to be a place of preparation and reception of food. Therefore illumination of kitchen, first of all, should be uniform, not causing sharp shadows and light contrasts.
Lighting devices for kitchen can be picked up so that at various times day they provided equally comfortable level of light exposure.
For example, in the daytime usually there is enough a natural illumination. And to improve natural illumination of kitchen, furnish of walls and a ceiling needs to be executed in light tones. In this case light, getting on light surfaces, will repeatedly be reflected, that will strengthen natural light exposure. The glossy surface of kitchen furniture, also as well as mirrors, visually increases the size of kitchen under influence of day time illumination and cleans sharp sides between light and a shadow. It is necessary not to forget that well washed windows can raise light exposure of a premise up to 30 %.
 During dark period of day, and also if for normal work in the afternoon on kitchen light exposure is not sufficient, creation of comfortable conditions will be incurred with artificial light sources.
Artificial illumination is created by electric fixtures by means of which it is possible to adjust light exposure of kitchen. It is considered, that it is better to use as artificial light sources fixtures with luminescent lamps, spectral which structure of light is close to natural.
The main task of the general, or top, illumination is to support the general level of light exposure of kitchen in the evening. General light should be bright, but at the same time soft, it should be distributed in regular intervals on a room. Such light will not deform color of the prepared dishes, giving to them natural appetizing shades. It can be both usual built in the cellar fixtures, and a luster. Color illumination is not recommended to be applied as the core, but as illumination it will perfectly change kitchen space, will emphasize functional zoning a premise and to allocate design accents.
Local illumination is better to be hinged under the lockers - in this case the light will not arrest attension, and shines on only on a working surface of a table. Local illumination can also be used above a dining table.
If the size of a premise allows, the kitchen can be divided into functional zones which can be emphasized by means of small light accents.
Thus, the main task in selection of kitchen illumination is a harmony and equation of illumination. Light devices should become a harmonious part of a kitchen interior; therefore for each separate case the scheme of illumination will be individual.

A decorative pillow is a remarkable accessory! It will bring in the general scale of an interior the notes of coziness, and will dilute excessively monotonous palette with bright paints, and simply, it is useful on the direct purpose, giving you and your visitors the softness. Many firms specializing on design of interiors, offer pillows on a choice (perhaps, one of the best, is a “hand made“ pillow, which is always better than a thing of a class purchased because it bears in itself human heat and care.
In this article we shall not speak about the pillows decorated by pictures, entirely embroidered dagger, a smooth surface or executed in carpet techniques, and we shall consider more creative and, at the same time, less labor-consuming variants.
Feel the artist!
The simplest variant for the person, not especially loving to sew, is to ornament pillows with paints on a fabric or ordinary acryl. Even if you are not able to draw at all, a little bright sparks on a fabric are possible to be given out safely for a masterpiece of impressionism. Dare, to spite of the settled stereotypes, that some colors are not combined basically! Absolutely all colors, simply this or that disharmonious chord, can be combined and it will emphasize your individuality. You will add grandiosity to pillows, if you draw some curves of a gold contour for batik or spangles for a fabric on them.
Infantile charm
Perhaps, you remember, how in the childhood you studied to sew buttons. Why to not recollect this and to not sew the pillow’s cover with the diversified buttons? It is possible to design patterns from them, and it is possible to scatter the disorder simply on a pillow. You can also represent infantile florets à la children’s figure on a cloth - stalks and leaves will be executed by a green mouline thread at the “back needle“ seam, and multi-colored buttons will become petals.
The sky full of stars
It is possible to give some mystics to the pillow, having arranged a set of fine spangles on a black satiny or velvet background. However, we advise you to avoid symmetry, in fact the more randomly “stars“ will lie down on a fabric, the more they will remind the present star sky.
Pillow, as a frog
 It is possible to give a charm to a pillow, having sewn eyes and a nose for soft toys (these details are on sale in any specialized shop) to it. And if you will also decorate a pillow with ears and a tail of artificial fur, and on each side from a will embroider moustaches near the nose with contrast threads, there will be no limit to delights of fans of a children’s spontaneity. By the way, similar pillows will approach for a nursery.
We have told only about several ways of pillows’ decor, all the others you, having inspired, can invent. And if you constrain the imagination within the limits of own feeling of fine, your creations will become a magnificent ornament of the house.

This refined and elegant covering intended for furnish of walls, and also various architectural surfaces such as eaves, columns, etc. It can be used both in the form of a final covering, and in the form of final furnish. It is put on preliminary prepared surfaces, such as plaster, front putty, etc. As the result, after drawing a covering, the surface gets the well-known effect of “The Venetian plaster”.  

The techniques of drawing (if to consider it as a sequence of the certain receptions) are rather simple. At the beginning the absolutely smooth surface of a wall is grounded with a water-diluted paint, and after drying accurately and consistently, the plaster is layerly put. The first layer is usually put by means of the wide spattle, and all the subsequent layers are recommended to be put by the narrow one. Before putting the subsequent layer, the previous one should be completely dried up. Then, each put layer is to be carefully leveled and grounded. “The Venetian plaster” is easily shaded. 

Nowadays, choosing the appropriate color tones for the plaster, you will receive the whole spectrum of various kinds of a marble - from its known grades up to such tones which would coincide with your taste and your imagination. “The Venetian plaster” is quite an inexpensive material, but the work on its stacking costs approximately 2 times more expensive as the final effect entirely and completely depends on masters’ professionalism. 

- How to carry out a choice of a tile, depending on area of its application? For example, what tile to choose for a bathroom, for the sitting room?
There are tiles for the most different purposes and the most different premises. Tiles should possess necessary characteristics and properties to resist to various mechanical, chemical, thermal and other influences to which covered surfaces can undergo. All tiles can be divided into some groups, and the division into groups occurs in view of a place of application of a tile. We shall consider the basic types of tiles applied to a private apartment:
- A tile for through passage premises, such as a vestibule, a hall, a lobby: a tile of high wear resistance or a ceramic granite (the universal material, can be used for any premises);
- A tile for walls and a floor of a bathroom: glazed tile of double or unary roasting and of the average wear resistance;
- A tile for a floor and kitchen walls: a tile, which is proof to influence of chemical abrasives (acids and alkalis) and steady against mechanical influence.
- How to look after a tile in a bathroom?
The surface or what we see, looking at it, consists of tiles and seams. At care of a tile it is possible to use practically any washing-up liquids, except for means for an acid basis, such what are applied, for example, for cleaning toilet bowls: even if they do not put harm to tiles, they can damage the seams which have been closed up by materials on the basis of cement (as it usually happens). At cleaning it is better to avoid abrasive means, such as metal scrapers, brushes; they can scratch a surface of a tile. Caring of a ceramic tile in a bathroom will not be difficult, if once a month you will carry out cleaning and then, probably polishing of a tile - it will constantly remain representative and will serve to you for a long time.
- What is the ceramic granite and how does it differ from the usual granite?
This building novelty has been invented in Italy, and was named “gres porcellanato”. “Gres” means the “stone-pottery”, and “porcellanato” means “porcelain”. The name reflects an essence of a material: it is made, as porcelain, but it does not concede to a natural stone, and it surpasses natural stone in many aspects.
This material is very firm. It is not practically erased in due course and can not be spoilt by the salt or sand (by means of which the ice is covered and which can be brought to the house with footwear) in the winter.
In general ceramic granite looks like a stone - a granite or limestone. But you can find specks on its surface, however it is painted more exactly, than natural one - ceramic granite has no large cracks and greater impregnations of other color too.
 

Tree in red

This year the interest to natural materials or similar on natural will be kept. First of all is a tree. Oak is on the peak of popularity, it perfectly gives in to toning and painting. For example, the oak colored in mahogany, looks much more effectively, than mahogany! Also in a fashion there will be exotic breeds of wood: black rosewood, a tic etc. The last besides quite good aesthetic characteristics possesses good parameters on stability to humidity and thermal influences. Interest falls down to cherry tree. The present boom is expected for the Brazilian nut.

Concerning materials, which are widely applied in today various details, accessories, finishing materials these are a chrome plated metal (from sofa legs up to vases and candlesticks), a stone, a marble (floors, doors, fine details in an interior) and corian (polymer or an artificial stone) - absolutely new material of which a lot of furniture can be made: table-tops, doors from lockers, switches. By the way, earlier a tree with special impregnation (bowls, lockers, etc.) is actively being used instead of habitual traditional ceramics and the dignity-faience.

Plaster for a cozines

Historicism is also very popular this year. Any ″artificial attrition″ of subjects of furniture, walls, and mirrors are highly appreciated. Now it became very popular “to olden” practically all interior accessories: wood, a stone, metal, decorative wall plasters. This reception brings some coziness into the house; things thus lose their ″trademark style″ and cease to look so as if they have been brought just from the shop.

Bamboo heat

Choosing color scales, it is not necessary to get under glamour domination of black, lilac, violet paints as it is just a seasonal craze, and it will very quickly get out of fashion.

The natural colors or colors close to natural, or, as they are named by designers, - colors of earthen scale, the African shades introducing in the house warm for a long time will be late: orange, yellow, terracotta, brown, etc, will always be in fashion. It is some kind of echoes of recently fashionable ethno style, which now departs on the second scale. From it only some accents are remained: flat dishes bound from leaves of a banana, baskets, bamboo jalousies, mats. Nevertheless, modern person feels more comfortable in the European interior.

Varnish piece

Let more light into the house! Surfaces with good reflective ability - varnished or polished will help you with this. Do not make heavier dense portieres - let more sun get into the room.

Being physically impaired or having someone in the family who is makes it extremely hard to get around in the house and outdoors unless special arrangements are made in order to accommodate the wheelchair.

A person in a wheel chair is not someone deprived of his or her freedom of movement. In that case, moving about in a vehicle is not an exception as well. In particular when it comes to wheel chair, regardless as to whether the wheel chair-bound person is the driver or the passenger; he or she needs to be taken care of very well. You need to make sure that the wheel chair goes into the vehicle properly, especially if the person is sitting on it and you can’t possibly carry it into the vehicle. A simple thought into this matter; an auto wheel chair lift can do this job easily. An auto wheel chair lift is something that can easily lift the person from the wheel chair into the car, or even the whole chair with the person into the car. Lifting the person or both the person with the wheel chair can be a cumbersome thing to do manually by hand, and tiring as well. This simple machine however, does it within matter of seconds, and of course, since it’s a machine; there’s no talking about getting tired or so.

The Different Types

Basically this electric auto wheel chair lift can be found in two different types, which are the hydraulic powered and electric powered. A simpler way to explain the distinction between the two is that the first one is operated manually, while the second one does everything at a click of a button or switch. Most people prefer the second type of auto wheel chair lift, for there is no manual operation like the former, which doesn’t make much of a difference from lifting up the person into the car by hand. Also, the electric auto wheel chair lift is connected to the battery of the vehicle. This tells you that for a long time until your battery runs out, you have no worries of maintenance.

On the other hand, the hydraulic auto wheel chair lift type requires the hydraulic fluid to operate. And this fluid needs to be replaced periodically to make sure it functions properly. Compared to the electric one, this is costlier on the long term basis. Also, if you are not willing to spend a lot during the installation, you can just go for the electric one.

There are many different variations among the two different auto wheel chair lift types as well, such as the type of exits, working mechanisms, and many more. In short, before you rush to buy one, make sure you are making the right choice, for even the cheapest auto wheel chair lift costs several thousand dollars.

It looks like the designers of interiors have decided to break all records of working capacity - “room” images and styles becomes more and more variable.
Fashion in an interior is more constant, long-playing, than, say, in clothes, which varies so often, that at times for it happens difficult to follow it. If to speak about interior tendencies of this year here cardinal changes are is not expected. The interest in the youth environment to minimalism because of its aspiration to convenience, simplicity and reliability does not die away. The old kind classics causes trust in more senior generation. A recently issued democratic “modern” style dictated by an active rhythm of a life of greater cities becomes more confident. But hardly is it necessary to embody any from these styles in the pure state. The sense is still in the mixture interiors, and also on individuality and uniqueness.
Concerning the changes- all of them will be in numerous nuances (colors, materials, forms).
Contour of the space
The aspiration to expansion and clearing of space and minimization of details reaches its apogee. The furniture should be multipurpose and not massive - in a basis pure flexible lines, ergonomics and convenience are put. An ideal variant for modern design is the use of furniture-transformer: a sofa, during an instant turning a bed, a coffee table turning in lunch, etc. In such space  so fashionable stove benches-chaise lounges ideally repeating contours of a body of the person, almost “orthopedic” rigid chairs and armchairs enough non-standard proportions and configurations, unusual subjects of a decor - for example, a table about ten legs, vases with the illumination, changing the form, intricate candlesticks, fixtures, won’t be superfluous.
But it is not necessary to overload an interior with fine details, elements of a decor - so you will never reach clearing space of all superfluous. But also at the same time house conditions should not be gloomy and too ascetic - a few variety and elegance will not damage it.
