Furniture & Hammocks

Hammock
 The popular and always updated apartment therapy did previously a tribute to hammocks. Were found, some of the very experienced and our proposed. Some of these stores is not to send Greece but I found a similar style and ethos Greek and your suggest and I in my turn. The hammock is a cheap solution, however, very decorative-enough to have the space or out-. So good shopping and of course good xaples!
 These again are made from recycled seat belts. The Ting company also makes a fantastic flooring from old belts waist bags and other items.
 No doubt the reference to South America and the countries of the continent such as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela evokes a carnival and hot Latin rhythms, with football, a suntan, beauty and temperament, not least with the TV series and endless dream easy, carefree lifestyle. In addition to these we can safely add the hammock, which is going from Colombia and Brazil many years ago of the victorious march across the globe. Fortunately - although to a lesser degree - has come and Bulgaria, but professional knowledge of hammocks, hanging chairs and other similar products are left behind somewhere along the way and yet the Europeans and particularly the Bulgarians know little about these pleasures.
 For example, in Europe there is widespread desire to be a hammock maximum straight and lie in it along as in a single bed. More Brazilians use it anyway. With them as a hammock is wider is better. They do not Stretch and leave it to sag slightly in the middle, making it easier and uploading it. Most South Americans lie in the hammock at length, and diagonal, ie from corner to opposite corner, which they need - of course - most wide hammock. Thus, they loaded a very lesser degree back, incl. your spinal column than the Europeans, whose technique of maximum cargo bed back and not just him.
 It is hardly necessary to convince someone that, as with most products and hammocks and hanging chairs and a poor quality products. Quality can not be coincidence! It is the desired end result of targeted inputs, labor and maximum volume control. In the following lines I would like to briefly explain what makes a good, quality hammock chair or hanging from mass production coming mainly from Southeast Asia.
 Usually the problem is the relationship between itself and the supporting ropes or hanging hammock chair on which you sit or lie down. In many cases this connection is done by repeatedly attaching ropes to the material (fabric, network) or a hanging hammock chair. In other cases, the fabric at the end of the hammock or chair placed caps that creep through the ropes. In practice, however, that unfortunately both versions are not very reliable. Best technology to maximize healthy relationship between hammock / chair and messenger came from Colombia, as in her own thread in the fabric edges form bundles, which are woven braids. It was in these beautiful shallow drawing the messenger. A quality hammock or hanging chair, made in this technology is - of course - better to increase the number of shallow and messenger - not least because of better distribution of gravity. To a large extent on the quality of craftsmanship throughout the product affects the elaboration of these shallow and end nodes, which collect the supporting ropes.
 Very important for the quality of this product group are also a matter of quality fabrics and messenger. Traditionally, quality is achieved with a multithreaded, heavy fabrics 100% cotton ov or some modern fabrics such as synthetic "Durakord". Ropes for themselves is an important matter, the number of threads in them and their way of twisting.
 Important for the overall quality of hammocks and hanging chairs are also dyes that are used - such as sustainability, safety and compliance with European directive concerning them. Wood shingles also have an important function and should be the maximum solid wood that is treated for lasting protection and durability. Good classic solution is to have steam beech, on which is applied a finishing layer of varnish.

Lighting and décor in the bathroom

Lighting in the bathroom
 Shaving or make use lights on both sides of the mirror, not to create shadows. Preferably two fluorescent lamps to be placed at the height of his head.

Choose black skirt around the bulbs, which reduces light reflection to a minimum.

 If you have a complete overhaul of the bathroom and want to put bathroom cabinets, place the mold in which you know will put a layer of cloth on your face before you build the wall. Thus, the best hanger welded to the wall. 
Cases and racks
There are narrow shelves and bathroom cabinets, units of land to meet the corners of the bathroom, hangers, hanging from a telephone in the bathroom or down the shower curtain holders, hanging inside the bathroom door, or distribution of bathroom cabinets as bridges from one side of the tub to another. Other shelves filled rods placed between the floor and ceiling of the bathroom.
You can use the pockets for storing everything from shampoos, hair conditioners, shaving products, toothbrushes and bath toys with these bathroom cabinetsLook for deep pots and baskets to decorative objects from falling from the bag on the floor.Requires a wire or large holes in the trays for proper drainage. A number of bathroom cabinets will hold the bottles upside down as you do with a sauce of ketchup so you can easily get the last amount of shampoo or conditioner.

A large tub in the bathroom for more than one person is perfect for small children. If the bath tub includes an integrated seat offers the convenience of an adult to supervise the child's bathroom. Make sure the bath tub you have non-slip floor.

Do the same with the lids of pots and pans. A large clear plastic box will keep them together and each vertically. Another option is to store them vertically in the closet to wiring compartments dishes.

Place hooks under cabinets to hang cups on the counter or hang a metal bracket in the same spot for wine glasses. This will free up significant space in cupboards. You could also put stickers on the hooks inside the door of the closet or cellar to install tools such as scoops cookers, oven mitts and other kitchen items. Consider using the empty space on the wall or put rails on the ceiling to hang pots and pans. Remember that any space you can use to hang something will free up space inside a cabinet.

Place garbage bags near the trash and throw a stack of bags in it. So when you take a bag, there will already be below another that will be waiting to use.

Then remove the garbage out on the pavement. The refrigerator will only fresh foods and less messy - and it takes only a few minutes.

So why not put the aesthetics of the kitchen into the background as it is proven that the correct choice of style, the combination of colors and materials inspire and create culinary delights but also turns an ordinary meal into a happy family hours
 If we feel that the kitchen makes you feel dull and need replacement, it's time to do it. All you need is to follow some important steps.

 1. Color plays an important role in space. Choose a bright color. Choosing a white or ivory color, do right space to show bigger, brighter and cleaner. If you like challenges pick a wall and paint it in a sweet orange, combining it with a curtain to match color for example in line with stripes striped cream and orange. Try to avoid too heavy curtains in the kitchen.
2. If you have a window, always open the curtains. If you do not want to see your neighbors, choose an airy curtain of net or gauze to allow the sunlight to penetrate. You do not want a dark or dull place indeed.
3. With your own personal style convert the kitchen into a quiet room for your own people. Select mats or tablecloth color matching towels which will hang in a prominent position. Place cushions on the kitchen chairs that match perfectly with the curtains. With these options in designs and fabrics you can change the atmosphere of the space from boring in romantic, classical or whimsical.

  4. Eat on the kitchen floor a mat instead of the usual dark carpet. And I will give a different and more modern style to your kitchen and are more resistant to dust and crumbs.

 5. Add green to your space. Hang a pot of greens, place in a corner of the bench an impressive synthesis of flowers, convert an old clay pot or metal pot. So you give vibrancy to the kitchen.

 6. If you have a large bench with unused space and purchased beautiful modern appliances like coffee maker, toaster, scales, bring out the. Put the ones you use most frequently, not all in an apparent sign of the bench.

For a functional kitchen

 With many or few square a kitchen can and should be as functional. So before proceeding with your choices there are some general rules that are then receive the necessary attention:
The electric cookers to be fitted so that the pot or pan in the sink drain easily.
The desktop is enough for food preparation. The main area is between the sink and stove
The sink is close to the plates, glasses, crockery and cooking utensils that are used frequently.
The dishwasher be near the sink.
Take every corner of the closet and do not leave any space unused. The more the merrier cupboards.
The storage areas with appropriate mechanisms to give a complete picture of functionality sought for your kitchen.
Choose quality and durable materials. It may cost more but the kitchen is a place that will not change in a few years.
If the kitchen is small, do not use fabric curtains because it will absorb odors and vapors.
Lighting is one of the main points that should receive special attention. For the kitchen is adequate lighting from lights or fluorescent lights package hidden under cabinets or on top of the bench. The kitchen counters and the sink should have their lights for better functionality. Better lighting is fluorine or iodine with bulbs that are hidden under the kitchen cabinets.

Kitchen Floor Plans


There are various options for designing the floor plan of your kitchen according to available space and financial budget for the kitchen.
Kitchen with floor plan in the shape of L: It is the most widespread and most commonly used design. When there is enough space available is a highly effective design.
Kitchen with floor plan in the shape of U: In this option installed on 3 walls, cupboards and a bench in each of them.
Kitchen with island: This design requires a large space. We offer additional benches with cupboards and can accommodate homes or sinks. Another variation is to place tall stools around the island and transform it automatically into dining area.
Kitchen - Kitchen: This kitchen design is mostly used in small rooms and small kitchens. It has parallel walls at work.

Kitchen and Feng Shui II

According to Feng Shui, the kitchen is one of the major areas of the house. With some rules of Feng Shui you can enhance the influence of the kitchen to the welfare of residents.

Remember personal energy you emit while cooking absorbed from food and therefore the people who will eat this food. So to avoid cooking for other people when you're angry or sad because this will affect the quality of energy (chi) of food.

Fitting: The kitchen should not be seen from the entrance nor the living room. A modern solution to this problem because the fashion in the design of new homes and apartments wants uniform spaces, is there even a semi-transparent sliding door that separates the two areas. The kitchen should not be at the center of the house. The center of the house is similar to the center of our body that our stomach, if there are fires in the center of the house and burns it up in the stomach and affects its function. If your house is two storey avoid your bed to be just above the kitchen as it causes insomnia and combative mood after the fire always move upwards. Also the table should not be under the toilet upstairs as the water unlike the heat always moves downward. Keep ventilated and well lit kitchen area.

Kitchen and Feng Shui II


Item of furniture: You should always avoid to wash dishes or cook with their backs to the entrance of the kitchen because it increases the likelihood of accidents where people suddenly appear behind you. So it is best to have a visual image of who enters and exits the kitchen.

The oven and stove should not be on the same line as the door, because the energy coming from the door go directly to the oven and do not move around the kitchen as it should. It should also not be too close to the main entrance because the heat they generate can burn and destroy any positive energy coming from the main entrance.

The mouth of the furnace of fire, ie the direction from which we open the oven door should face inside the house and not outwards.

It is generally believed that the oven and burners should not be located opposite or right next to the sink. That's because the oven is the element of fire and sink in the water element, which hurt in the fire. Also you should avoid the construction of toilet and water outlet at the back of the oven and burners. Generally it is best to avoid the vicissitudes of fire and water side by side. The dishwasher, refrigerator, sink, washing the clothes belong to the element of water, and microwave, the stove, the oven, the burners, belong to the element of fire.


A very common mistake that designers in modern kitchens, is to install the oven and eyes on the center island kitchen. This is not good and has a kitchen wall in the back and is not protected.


Above the oven and eyes should have no beam that causes stress. If you can not avoid this it is advisable to install a suspended ceiling to look at the ceiling of the room uniform. The bar above the oven is considered bad luck for the woman of the house.

Good design is also to avoid images of various bloodthirsty animals to look at the oven and eyes. Finally, around the stove and the eyes are not good to have arrows that caused the walls or corners of cabinets and furniture. If you are adding to the ease semicircles shelves in cabinets or walls, or some decorative items.

For the housewife, the kitchen is a place to stay for a long time of day, perhaps the most hours of the day.
 To be functional a kitchen should give the necessary attention to layout is the most basic piece. There should be a good correlation between the hob sink and refrigerator, and routes between them is small for a smooth flow of any work. Cupboards and counters should be placed in such manner and to follow a proper order to save both time and space to work.
