Starting work from home? Need to decorate and furnish your new home office space? Decorating and fitting out is always difficult when starting with a blank canvas, so here are some ideas to give you inspiration for your new office space.

Make It Liveable
The first thing to consider with the new office is decoration. It needs to be remembered that you are likely to be spending many hours every day in the office so the ddcor must be easy on the eye. Bright colourful walls may be okay for recreational spaces but when concentration over protracted periods is required then subtle mute hues are a must. Beige or whites with a hint of colour are usually best for the walls. If you feel you want a stimulating environment then whites with a hint of green or blue are good. For a more relaxed feel then hints of apricot or pink are preferable.

Floor covering also need considerable thought. When thinking about your furniture at work reviews of the weight and amount of movement of pieces along with human traffic need to be carried out. If there is a lot of movement of chairs and people for example then hard wearing carpet tiles or even a wooden floor may be the best choice. If on the other hand traffic is light and a creative and warm atmosphere is required then a fitted carpet might be appropriate. Again, with the flooring, consideration should be given to keeping the colours and patterns towards the plain rather than lively. If clients are to be entertained in the office then an air of professionalism needs to prevail. Brightly patterned carpet and garish walls are unlikely to give an impression of level headed stoicism!

What Furniture And Where From?
Once the ddcor of your new office has been decided upon it is time to consider the furnishing. There is such a myriad of online and high street firms dealing in office furniture, choosing the right one for your needs can be difficult. If you wish to visit a showroom in person to choose your furniture then a quick look in the yellow pages should arm you with plenty of potential suppliers in your area. If online purchase is your preferred choice then looking at internet reviews will give you a good idea of who are the reliable suppliers.

At every step, you have to be a part of the construction to make sure you are getting what you have planned for. Here are some home design tips that will help you

1. Make sure you have done enough research before starting your home project. Have a look at the many existing models available in market today. Seek out the features you like and want in your house.

Carpet Industry is one of the oldest industries in India. Carpet Weaving was brought to India by Moguls. Some of the majestic carpets were woven during Mugals era. Over the period, the weaver has become an artist imbibing the magical exotic colors to the Indian carpets. Based on individualistic skill of the weaver, there is an aesthetic touch of the coloring and beauty in the carpets.

Over the period, various clusters have emerged in the northern part of India. Initially, carpet weaving was done only at few centers. Due to several historical reasons and availability of resources, carpet manufacturing spread across the northern India. Major centers have been Bhadohi, Agra, Jaipur& Kashmir. During the last few decades, hand-tufted carpets have emerged as one of the major categories.

Fake Turf!

How much is a fake lawn? You buy fake grass by the square meter m². At it's cheapest you will pay around £5 /m² and then goes up to a maximum of around £30 per m^2.

It's not the cheapest option for installing and buying compared to the real deal. But turf is in short supply and there are other benefits to a fake lawn that we go over for you in this article.

Not just cheaper by saving water IF YOU LIVE IN A DRY COUNTRY but saving the all important time too - what am I talking about? But then again at the end we talk of the need to wash the grass - still probably less than the need to water it often. Not the money saving aspect for me but the time saving cutting and weeding etc.

A fake lawn is made from synthetic grass, and makes sure that your lawn looks well maintained, all the time.  No matter where you live and what the weather conditions are, your lawn will always look good. The best part is that you will see an automatic reduction in your water bills too.

If you are planning to install synthetic turf, there are plenty of options available to you. These options include monotone, two toned and four toned synthetic grass.  If you have a tight budget, then monotone is the one for you as it is the cheapest option available. This type of synthetic grass is rigid and has short piles. However, if you want something softer and more realistic, then two-toned synthetic grass is the best option. For people with small kids in the house, four toned grass works best. This type of synthetic grass has long piles, and looks alarmingly real, besides being kid friendly. However, the cost of four-toned synthetic grass is much more when compared to the first two.

The reality is that real grass costs less in comparison to fake grass. However, the savings associated with having synthetic grass come into effect much later, with the reduction of water bills. You will notice a huge difference in water bills, after placing synthetic grass in your yard. The key advantage of choosing a fake lawn over a real one are the cost savings it provides. This of course is more for those living in drier climates.

Maintenance

Fake lawns are easy to install and maintain. The lawn looks impeccable, no matter what the season is. Your lawn looks green and beautiful throughout the year. Maintaining a fake lawn is also way easier, as compared to a real grass lawn. If you have a real lawn, you will need to make sure that chemicals and fertilizers are added, to provide nutrients to the grass. A lot of time may also have to be devoted to mowing the grass on a real grass lawn.

In case of a synthetic lawn, you will only need to spray a little water for cleaning it on a regular basis. No chemicals or fertilizers are required to treat the grass. Even expensive garden equipment, like a lawn mower, is not necessary. A rake is all you will need to remove leaves and debris. Regular spraying of water over a fake lawn will keep dust and dirt off it. These lawns have an amazing filtration system, which allows the water to flow through and drain away, without it collecting between the fibers.

Choosing The Fabrics For Your Bed

One of the ways in which this relaxation is fostered is through the decorations, furniture, and textile options that are selected for this room. Whether decorating your first bedroom or remodeling an existing one, knowing the best ways to illicit this positive response from your bedroom is important to garnering the quality of slumber that you want and need. Specifically, the bed itself and what is placed upon it is of the utmost important in this journey to a restful night. From the quilt cover sets you select to the linen options you should consider, the following are some of the tips that you can utilize to get the most from your room.

How To Choose The Best Linens For Your Bed

There are several great linen design options for those that want to choose a bedding set. Not all of these, however, are created equally. When choosing a linen design, it is important to consider and evaluate certain things. There is of course the need for the linens to speak to the individual's design aesthetic. Your room should fit your tastes and your wants. For that reason, choosing a great linen design that is visually appealing is important. This, though, is not the only thing that you should consider. You will also want to check the breathability of the linens you use on your bed and the warmth that they provide. An individual in a warmer climate, for example, will want to choose thin sheets or those that have a cooling effect rather than bulkier flannel options. The latter of these is more appropriate in an environment that is colder and may require additional heat generation from the sheets themselves. There are great linen design options in both types of sheets and this is an often forgotten, but very important feature to evaluate before purchase.
