beautiful design Flat Decoration Light

Linked Hybrid complex that won the 2009 award includes eight towers linked by a ring of eight sky bridges housing a variety of public functions. The complex is located adjacent to the former city perimeter of Beijing. To counter current urban development trends in China, the complex forms a new twenty-first century porous urban space, inviting and open to the public from every side. In addition to more than 750 apartments, the complex includes public, commercial, and recreational facilities as well as a hotel and school. With sitelines around, over, and through multifaceted spatial layers, this “city within a city” has as one of its central aims the concept of public space within an urban environment, and can support all the activities and programs for the daily lives of over 2500 inhabitants.

New beautfy Home Design

Home design is a very close to heart subject for many home owners. A home is place where we relax and spend our lives. A home protects us from natural environment so that we can live a healthy life. The true success of a home design project is very difficult to define. Since a home is dream for many people it can vary from person to person what a good home design is for him/her. However on this website I have tried my best to generalize various aspects that go into creating a beautiful and healthy home design. Let's get started immediately.Primarily any home building will have three common elements that constitute to the beauty of the design in itself. As I said good design is a relative term but depends o these three factors. Exterior FormInterior StyleSurroundings Let's have a look at these three in detail.Exterior Home Design or The Form Of The Design By form of the building I mean that actual finished built structure of home. The shape final built structure largely depends upon how the interior rooms have been arranged. What is inside will always reflect on the outside. Hence an architect always thinks about both exteriors and interiors while designing a home building. As a common rule these two types of home buildings are commonly found. depending upon where these structures have been built the internal arrangement of the rooms and hence the external shape will change.

Summer House Bedroom

http://www.saidaonline.com/en/newsgfx/white%20bedroom-saidaonline.jpg

Summer is in full swing, and it’s time to take a deep breath and soak your stress away.

The function of any bedroom is first and foremost to provide a restful environment for sleeping. There shouldn’t be anything disturbing or jarring in a bedroom, even if you’re using the most modern style of design.

In this room, everything is conducive to resting, so the room’s primary function is completely fulfilled. But this bedroom also functions well not just for providing a good night’s sleep, but also for providing a comfortable place in which to read or enjoy the view of the water.

You’ll note that here the tall windows have no curtains, so that might make you think the room would be difficult for sleeping late into the morning, something we all love to indulge in during vacations. But notice the curtains around the bed itself: close these curtains and you’ve shut out the morning light, and you’ve also created a cozier and more intimate space around the bed.

The night stands on either side of the bed also function well; when a couple is using the bed, each person will have access to books, reading light, or alarm clock.

The mood of this room is a relaxed one, and the antique furniture creates an old-fashioned feeling, bringing a visitor back to a slower, simpler time. But it isn’t stuffy; the antiques are arranged in a modern way, and the carpet and modern windows and doors to the balcony undercut any potential stuffiness from the old-fashioned furniture.

The swags of curtain material draped around the bed add to the mood, recalling colonialists’ luxurious homes in the Caribbean islands.

Finally, let’s look at the harmony of the room: Everything works together here, and nothing is out of place. The fact that pale, summery colors dominate the room makes harmonizing easy: the white bedspread sets the standard as the brightest thing in the room, since the walls are slightly more tea-colored, and the carpet is slightly darker still. The wood of the furniture, and the maroon throw pillows on the bed, further bring in deeper tones that prevent the room from appearing cold or sterile.

10 Home Decorating Ideas

1. Rearrange The Furniture - Pull your furniture away from the walls. Try positioning it at intriguing angles. For example, a sofa arranged diagonally across a narrow living room will make the room look wider.

2. Paint A Wall - Paint one wall your favorite color and make it the focal point. Hang interesting art on that wall and move a nice piece of furniture there. (Note: Make sure that the color is one that is shared with several other objects and fabrics in the room.) Editors Note: Not all renters will be allowed to paint, visit Decorating by Room for more wall decorating ideas.

3. Bring In Plants - Greenery always adds a breath of fresh air to a room. If you don't have a green thumb, try silk plants and trees. The quality has gotten so good that its hard to distinguish them from the real thing.

4. Lay An Area Rug- An area rug is a wonderful way of defining a conversation area. Try one that complements the room. Lay it at an angle beneath your coffee table.

5. Hang Pictures or Mirror - Hang pictures that reflect your personality. Try frames that are more ornate. When hanging a mirror, try and position it so that it reflects and nice view or an interesting architectural element.

6. Group Figurines - Pull out your favorite collectibles. Show off your personality. Find a display area and group related objects together, in sets of three or five. Try and vary the shapes.

7. Add Decorative Pillows - The good news about decorative pillows is that they are an easy way to add textures and patterns to a room. Still better, they can be changed to jazz up a sofa or chair before your room is ready for a major makeover.

8. Replace Lamps- - Lamps are probably the one thing in your home that will give others a clue that your room is outdated. Seek out new and fresh lamps that make a statement.

9. Add A Throw Or Afghan - Similar to decorative pillows, throws and afghans add texture to your furniture. They come in all kinds of natural and man made fabrics. Find a pattern and style that you like.

10. Eliminate Clutter - Clutter has a way of eliminating the desired mood and effect of any room. Find storage spaces for papers, toys, and other items that take from the personality of a room.

Inexpensive DIY Under-Cabinet Lighting for home

Why?

Previously when you prepared food in my mom's kitchen you would be standing between the ceiling light and your work surface, thus casting a shadow. Additionally, under cabinet lighting tends to look nice. It's quite the dramatic effect in person and definitely stepped up the look of the kitchen a lot. It's less harsh of a light in person and significantly improved visibility while working in the kitchen.

Cost & Power Usage

I was able to light my mom's entire kitchen for under $40.00 including all parts. Additionally, the lights are quite power efficient, using about 3 watts per light tube (I used 6 pair / 12 tubes total). Total wattage=36 watts, or 3amps at 12V. This is a little over half the power usage of a normal 60watt incandescent bulb. Your final project price will vary depending on your supplies and the size of your kitchen.

Compare With and Without

1. Under cabinet lighting on, Ceiling light off.
2. Under cabinet lighting off, Ceiling light on.
3. Both under cabinet lighting on and ceiling light on.
