Additionally, asmall desk or chest can be used to store car keys, umbrellas,scarves and hats.To create a warm and inviting atmosphere, choose artificiallighting to illuminate the hallway. Choose diffused lights thatcast a softer glare and less of a shadow on pieces offurniture.Living RoomIn many homes, the living room is the most important space ofthe house as it is where families relax, dine and entertain. Tomake the room comfortable it is best imperative to divide the roominto functional spaces. For example, the window is the ideallocation for a relaxing sitting area. This zone can be furtherdefined with a comfortable sofa, relaxing chairs, a coffee tableand a television.The dining area of the living room can be created closet to thedoor that leads to the kitchen. The space can be defined with anelegant dining table, chairs and a chandelier. When choosingfurniture one must consider the size and décor of the room.Traditionally, the smaller the home the smaller the furnitureshould be and vice versa for a larger house.After embarking on a home improvement project ensure that thequality of work is up to par by checking for any safety hazards.Furniture should not be blocking any exits and shelves, picturesand posters need to be properly applied to the wall with studs andnails to prevent injury.BedroomThe bedroom is the most important room of the house and needs tobe placed in the quietest and most isolated part of the home.

For example, while trying toredecorate your living room, you decide to go with a Victorianstyle with the color scheme burgundy. In selecting furniture,carpets, paintings and other décor for your Victorian living room,make sure that they fit perfectly into the Victorian look. Go forplush couches with intricately carved wooden arm rests. Go forsimilarly-toned curtain tassels that matches thick curtains withelaborate designs. A minimalist glass coffee table or anirregularly-shaped corner lounge chair made of metal in bright bluecolor simply will not do in a Victorian living room. Unity ofdesign means all items, all furniture in the room are pulledtogether and unified by a single theme.Balance and ProportionOne very important element of Aesthetics and Western design isbalance or proportion. This element simply means that items in aroom must be well-distributed or equally and strategically placedall over the room. Avoid over-crowding one area of the room andleaving another area barren to the eyes. A good room with properbalance and proportion should have symmetry. Symmetry creates afeeling of serenity and stability in the room.Any person can create a lovely home.

If you want to define some space in yourgarden, then you can do so with the use of garden borders. Borderscan be used to separate grass from walks and for other types oflandscape edging and they can also be used to create garden beds.The borders add both depth and texture to the garden, and enhancethe aesthetic appeal.Garden beds create a small controlled space, making it the idealplace to grow edibles like fruits and herbs, or to plantperennials. The borders are usually used for a garden bed that isplaced at a higher level than the area immediately surrounding it.They are an important component of raised garden beds, as they formthe frame in which the soil for the bed is placed. In addition,they assist in keeping the soil in the bed intact, and inpreventing erosion. Because there is no erosion, the nutrientsremain in the beds, and this causes the plants to flourish andthrive.The garden borders also play another very important role, asthey help to stop the spread of grass roots, so that the grass doesnot invade your garden bed. In addition, planting in the raisedbeds makes tending to them a lot easier, and the better drainageencourages the growth of the plants, thereby ensuring a betteryield. It's the perfect solution to a soggy garden.Garden borders offer a great deal of versatility when setting upyour garden, as they are available in a range of styles and shapes.These edges can make your garden look a lot more attractive, as itis possible to create a circle, square, or rectangular design withthe borders. Also, you may opt to make the border end freely, andthen create an undulating design.There are garden border kits that you can purchase from Frame itall, which have stackable joints that allow you to raise the levelof the edgings to the desired height. The borders are modular indesign, which allows for a range of design options, which can beeither angular or subtle.The borders are made of composite wood, which is safe andnon-toxic, as it has not been treated with harmful chemicals. Thiseco-friendly alternative is strong and durable. The colors arenatural, which makes it a lot easier for them to blend into thelandscape, without detracting from the attractive design of thegarden. In addition, the composite wood is resistant to rotting andwarping, so it won't be affected by the weather extremes.Installation of the garden borders is quite easy, and in just afew hours, you can have your garden looking great. All you need toput the borders in place are a screwdriver, hammer, and tapemeasure. The garden borders by Frame it all require very littlemaintenance, and are the ideal solution for those persons lookingto add some texture to their garden space.Border garden beds are wonderful additions to your landscapewhen you want to highlight an edge, such as a driveway, fence,walkway, front porch, or patio. They can be used to delineatevisual boundaries or create physical compartments in yourlandscape. When it comes to highlighting permanent features, suchas a trellis or gazebo, or dividing spaces in your yard orvegetable garden, border gardens are just the thing. As they oftenfollow an edge, they are usually rectangular in shape, but can alsobe designed to include gentle curves for less formal gardens.Most gardeners plant taller annuals and perennials to the backof these beds, placing shorter items towards the front. Border bedscan be created to spotlight long seasons of bloom on a continuum orfocused around a one-season spectacular show. If you opt for theone-season showcase, be sure to plan the rest of your landscapingto balance out the seasons during which your border bed liesfallow.Nearby shrubs, ground cover, and ornamental grasses can helpyour yard to that regard and can offer visual interest and textureyear-round. I prefer to choose interesting foliage, such as hostasand alumroots, and long-lasting blooms like coreopsis.

Thismay be your front door, side door, garage door, or patio door, andare visible from the outside.Exterior house doors give visitors a first impression of thestate of your home, so it's nice if your exterior house doors matchyour outside walls and look fairly solid. Solid-looking doors alsofend off thieves.If you are looking for a wood door, be sure to pay attention tothe type of wood and the finish done on it; higher quality woodsand finishes will preserve the life of your door. Thicker and widerstiles and rails generally indicate a better, sturdier door, andmake sure that your door includes seals to fend off badweather.Glass doors are also usable for exterior house doors if they arehighly resistant to shattering or breakage (such as thePease-Shield glass by Pease Industries). Good quality steel andfiberglass doors include a thermal break (a layer of insulation)that keeps the cold from outside from getting indoors through theframe.If you live in a cold area and are considering a fiberglass orsteel door, it is necessary to get one with insulation, else frostmay form on the inside of the door in the wintertime, making itfreezing to the touch.Regarding interior house doors, many types and sizes exist.Conventionally, there are four major types of interior doors-thefolding door, the bypass, the pocket door, and the conventionalhinged door.Folding doors are commonly used where conventional swingingdoors are unable to be used-for instance, in small spaces or forlarger closets with shelves that would block a swinging door.Folding doors work like a fan to expand and fold.Bypass doors are usually used for closets and storage places andusually hang from rollers and slide to the side in order to open.These are usually in sets of two or three and pass each other inorder to open. Pocket doors also slide, but there is usually onlyone door, and it slides into a "pocket" in the wall.When deciding what type of door you want, be sure to considerthe function, as well as aesthetics.Looking for a new door?

Not necessarily that all doors are the same, butrather you will see many of the same styles.

When someone asks, "what is a green house", aplausible answer to the question should be that, "it is apurpose-built building or covered place, where plants are grown,more importantly regardless of the natural weather conditions". Itcan be as small as a little room and as large as a whole complexand can be domestic as well as commercial.Now, the basic principle on which the Green Houses work is,"allowing natural sunlight to plants and containment/ moderation ofthe heat, the sunlight carries along" and this purpose is achievedby constructing them with transparent material, which in most ofthe cases is either plastic or glass. The temperature inside it canbe controlled by creating small ventilators or through installationof air conditioner and heaters. Green houses can be very effectivein areas of extreme weather. Very hot regions like deserts areoften unsuitable for growing crops. Similarly very cold regionslike Siberia are also unsuitable for natural growth of vegetation.Hence, certain food necessities are met this way.Speaking of the "Green House Design", there are no strictlimitations regarding size, shape and material of the proposedstructure. Instead, the flexibility allows one to prepare a customgreen house keeping in view one's own limitations, i.e. availableland/ resources and targeted quantity of plantation. For commercialpurposes, These houses are built with glass structure, which aremore dependable/ secure and are built in the shape of largebarracks. In advanced countries; they are monitored electronicallyfor better growth and maximum yield. Netherlands, for instanceholds the record for largest number of green houses in a countryexceeding 9000 of them. For domestic purposes, plastic is morepreferable being cheap and easily installable.With the advancement in agriculture industry, improvements ingreen house technology can also be seen. Historically, the greenhouses were initially built to save the crops from unexpected rainand hailstorms. Initial Designs were not transparent, instead wereeither made of hard fabric or metal sheets, however with thescientific development, it evolved into a profitable business.Today's "Green house Design" encompasses following salientfeatures:• It should at least be covering 50 meters of plain area.• It should at least be 10 meters in length, 5 meters in width and3 meters in height.• Foundation depth of the structure should be 0.5 meters, howeverthe deeper the better principle can be applied in this case.• Door of the green houses should be 1 ½ meters in height and 0.6meters in width, whereas ventilating window should be 2 x 3 feetand should be installed at the opposing wall of the doorwall.• It should be constructed preferably in open areas, where sunlightis available for most part of the day.• In areas, where there is a risk of intrusion of wild birds oranimals, the green house can also be protected with a firm layer ofmetal grill.To summarize the discussion, following points need to beremembered while dealing with the phenomenon under question.• What is GH: A structure, built to provide artificialenvironment for plants to grow under unfavorable outer conditions.They are built to increase vegetation and grow unseasonal plantsand fruits.• What are the key benefits:o Off-season crops regardless of type can be growno Higher yield can be achieved through provision of most suitableenvironmento Requires less use of chemical fertilization and water irrigation,thus minimizing cost of yield.
