Interior design ideas

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.

Count up the weight of each of types of temperaments inherent to you under the formulas:
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
Psychologists advise choleric people to mix dark blue with turquoise and all shades green. This color simultaneously calms and supports his active tone, and green in upholstery of furniture and curtains will allow creating the sensation of security in the house. By virtue of big emotional temper choleric people’s nervous system requires rest.
For the same reason it is desirable not to block up their vital space with a lot of things. They quite will accept things of minimalism style or modern hi-tech interiors.
Interior for the sanguine person
Unlike melancholic people, these people do not create cozy local zones - they have nothing to hide and there is no need to be hidden from a life, and to be alone with itself they do not love.
Interiors can be in warm scale: orange-yellow colors, color of amber and baked milk give to the sanguine person feeling of confidence of the forces, enrich the house with energy and health.
Interior for the phlegmatic person
The phlegmatic person is quiet and imperturbable; his confidence is based on knowledge and calculation. The preference is given to rich colors and unusual contrasts, large-sized, massive furniture and firm, strong materials: to metal, a stone, glass. In such house not a place too the upholstered furniture, muffled light, dark walls and the small rooms forced by furniture.
Interior for the melancholic person
Style predilections of melancholic people can be very various: from interiors in classical style up to hi-tech interior. 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. 

If there is enough space in the kitchen, it is possible to choose a table of any geometrical form, if it only would correspond to the style of an interior and configuration of the kitchen. In the big kitchen, where the equipment is planned along walls, it is desirable to enter a table so that it served good interior accent.
Both round and an oval table would perfectly look in the big kitchen (20 meters square and more). By the way, such tables borrow more place, than rectangular and square models do. And, as a rule, round and oval tables are cut from a working zone and they are not participating in our everyday life. In that case it is a question of stationary lunch group. In the big kitchen the neighborhood of lunch group with an easy show-window for elegant utensils or the small closed element of type of a locker for storage of services, tableware and table linen is recommended. All this will finally generate a place, where you will have a meal, and it will significantly raise its status.
In small kitchen the rectangular table, instead of square is more preferable.
When it is difficult to pick up a table of the necessary configuration and the sizes of a manufacturing, it is possible to order a table in building execution with a table-top of the soft streamline form. 
Today especial significance is attached to arrangement of a lunch zone. “Fast food” has bothered, people has pulled to tasty and healthy house food with family. Here, one old, as the world, proverb can be mentioned: anything so does not unite family, as a joint meal does. So, family traditions are again in the center of attention.
When lunch zone is brought to the dining room or to the sitting room, you have more opportunities to arrange it in a special way. For example, it is possible to place lunch group so that nothing distracted you from meal, to make it the aesthetic center of the dining room, to use fashionable materials and so on.
 

Organization of lunch zone, as well as arrangement of any other site of kitchen, depends on a way of life of family, its traditions and representations about where it is necessary to eat. Everyone on this account has own opinion. Some people are convinced, that dining room is the only place for acceptance of food there, and kitchen is the working block where the food is prepared. For others - dining table on kitchen is a favorite place of all family. The others have only breakfast on the kitchen, and prefer to have dinner or supper in the dining room or sitting room.
Traditions, way of life, habits influence the organization of kitchen. Even if the family eats in the dining room, the kitchen without an element behind which it is possible to have a bite, will hardly be found. And the other question is whether there will be a high-grade lunch zone here.
Concerning the organization of a lunch zone of kitchen, it can be with a dining table and without it. The first variant assumes closed self-sufficient kitchen. In the second case the working kitchen is united or combined with a dining room or sitting room, where not only Sunday dinners, but also suppers, and breakfasts are being transferred. In that case the space is all opened or it is divided into functional zones. When the kitchen is small and it is difficult to place a high-grade dining table there, the variant of the working kitchen combined with a dining room is very practical. The working part is not restrained. And the dining table (it may be also a sliding table) is transferred to the dining room.
During the last five years the popular variant of the organization of a public zone was most, perhaps, represented by the general open space, including kitchen, table, sitting room and a hall.
Today the tendency of uniting kitchen with sitting room or dining room is not so popular. And kitchens of the closed type are more preferable. Such kitchen assumes the presence of the high-grade functional and lunch zones.
 

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 40х40 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.
 

Long time ago the designers have noticed, that almost each interior has a “sexual accessory”. It depends on the person who thought over the interior of the apartment and who is the owner of the house - and, certainly, on the temperament of members of the family.
Sometimes one of the parties (man’s or female party) distorts the representation about the coziness - and makes the so-called “egoistic” interior, having misled other party’s tastes. And then the “offended” party feels uncomfortable at home. It can be expressed in irritability, sleeplessness, and, certainly, in traditional unwillingness to come back home.
The most interesting is that both men and women can equally appear in the “offended” part!
The spring -is a perfect time for making pleasure to your sweetheart and to correct the “sex” of the apartment. It is much more interesting, than to decorate the house with balls, flowers and hearts!

The variety of modern bowls can be easily grouped into several categories according to the way of their installation.
Pendant bowl is fixed to a wall bolts or hang on special metal arms. Today these both variants exist on the equal rights.
Bowl on the pedestal. Pedestal carries out a double role. On the one hand it serves as an additional point of a support for a “cup” of the bowl and it is especially important, when the wash stands are fastened to the mechanically “weak” wall. On the other hand, the pedestal decoratively covers armature, a waste pipe and a siphon.
The rabbeted bowl is inserted into an aperture of a table-top of toilette table from above.
The striding-leveled bowl, on the contrary from the rabbeted one, is fastened to an aperture in a table-top from below.
The pedestal of a bowl doesn’t only take up weight massive faience bowl, but it also simultaneously creates standard height from a washstand up to a floor.
Modern bowls without overflow opening can be equipped with CLOU system a-special siphon in which a special overflow opening is represented.
