Each color of paint can create an impression that we want. We know the colors like brown, white, blue, green, and so can cause a different impression. That is why, determine an appropriate color for occupancy is required.

Take the example of tropical nuances. You who want a theme design can choose the color green exterior, or combined with a color gradation. While for the house is minimalist, the application of gray or brown. Soft colors are able to give the impression of a tiny area of the dwelling.

Choosing paint for the exterior becomes more difficult because of walls, fences, or roofs will often intersect with the outside weather and climate.

If the problem is to paint the exterior walls of your house is dull, do repainting could be the solution. To do so, is highly dependent on the wall surface to be painted.

New wall paint (aged less than one month) is different from painting the walls of the old ways. New walls are still filled with pores that can suck the paint. Therefore, to save the paint, we recommend that your new wall lining the walls with water-base sealer or solvent base of good quality.

Once coated, the surface of the wall will become more smooth, flat, and ready to be painted. Before doing the painting, notice the humidity caused by the wall material used as a mixture of basic material of the wall.

Instead the old wall, much less frequently painted, the pores are closed so sometimes difficult to stick to fresh paint and looks bloated. If you find that you want to replace the old paint with new paint, either with the same or different colors, you should first keroklah entire surface of the paint was peeling off the walls. Sand the entire surface of the wall next to the remnants of old paint worn out. Then clean with a damp cloth and dry.

Clean the wall surface must be completely clean of dust and other dirt. Brush base paint on wall surfaces. You can use a roller. It’s just one layer. Allow to dry approximately 1-2 hours. Mix of exterior paint with water as much as 10 percent of the paint.

Stir until well blended. Pour in the bathtub to paint. Dip the roller into the paint, then scroll roller at the surface until the paint does not drip. For the final step, brush the paint on the wall surface.

Use a brush to paint the walls or trim the edge. After the first coat dries (2-3 hours), continue to paint the second layer over first layer. Also, if you have a problem peeling paint, you can fix it in a way repainted. In order for maximum results, you better do it in one time. Exterior wall paint (exterior) that peeling occurs because early treatment is wrong.

Therefore, the final paint layer can not be strong glue. Actually you can do to prevent the peeling paint with no pretreatment before painting. Perform the entire painting process correctly, including selecting an appropriate paint. In addition, despite using a special paint exterior, we recommend retaining the base paint to paint the end of a strong glue.

Base paint also helps prevent attacks contained in the alkali-water mixture semenpasir (wall-forming material). Before giving the basic paint, the wall must be completely dry and clean. Paint the wall with one color should be done within a one-time execution. Before the paint on all surfaces polished walls, do not stop so that the color is no different.

Setting Up Your Apartment

Lived in an apartment with a modern practical and dynamic lifestyle, making the house interior designed follow this style. Therefore, choosing furniture design with the times, making the beauty of each element was simply overlooked.

So that the order was a dynamic and integrated with the overall concept to be built, ranging from furniture selection to the other forming elements must be considered. Consideration is a main function.

Limited land to make every inch of space in the apartment is very precious, so choosing furniture that is smaller than standard size saves space, but still functional.

There are some elements of furniture that can be eliminated in order to save more space. One way is to remove the head of the bed or sofa arms. Stool (bench) is also an attractive option when space is very narrow.

Built-in furniture is furniture made specifically about the size of the existing space to make it look neat. In addition, the built-in concept allows maximum use of space by making use of every inch of space.

For example built-in wardrobe could use the width and height of the wall until it reaches the ceiling, so that a larger storage space. Model built in cupboards to store not only clothing but also other equipment, such as sheets, blankets, bags and even shoes.

Types of modular furniture (shaped container comprising a large variety of store space) having the drawers of various sizes can create a modified cabinet as required.

Multifunctional furniture is perfect when used for apartments with limited area, so other than as a furniture storage area can double as seating as well as a place to sleep.

In fact, he continued, the use of glass elements make the space feel more spacious appearance. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the glass to explore both the selection of furniture to the other supporting elements.

Should select furniture that used to give an impression of transparent light, not Balky (massive). In addition, so that the room feels more spacious, do not hesitate to use the mirror.

Merging Guest and Family Room

Merging the two functions is the trick sniper space get around the limitations in a residential area.

Today, with increasingly limited land available for housing in urban areas, would require the existence of efficiency in utilizing existing land. For downtown areas with high population density and land prices are relatively expensive, tend to require the use of buildings or vertically upward.

Limited land and high land prices also make the developers to develop housing with small types with a room size of course more limited.

Furthermore, this will lead us in an optimization strategy space utilization in both houses in urban areas or in the suburbs who has a narrow land. Similarly, maximum use of space required and effectively as possible so it can be used for everyday activities.

Merging the living room and family room is a double room used as family rooms.

More precisely here is the family room is also used as a living room. Because of limited space, then based on usage priorities we abolish the function of the living room and converted or diverted and provided together with the family room.

Why would this be and deserve to be done? Actually there are some fundamental reasons that justify this. First, the level of the family busy. As has become customary and fairness in the family when the husband and wife both working for a living and live in the suburbs or out of town. So at noon home tend to empty and occupied only a servant.

Second, if you want a meeting with a friend or relative then carried out near the workplace or elsewhere and not at home to stay because I got home at night and tend to the physical condition was too tired.

Third, traffic is relatively low room because each person has their own busy, do not have much time to ngerumpi and more rarely socialize with neighbors and visited each other more social activities conducted outside the home.

Fourth, people who come to visit the house and allowed to go tend to those who have known or family member that there is no privacy boundaries are strict and can be used as a family room where the recipient.

Fifth, for environmental matters such as the RT bill dues or monthly fees on the front porch done enough and need not be brought inside.

Combinations such as this have been common and widely used in apartment environment. Based on these things, a merger between the family room that integrates with the living room is the right choice and is very realistic for the home that has limited space available.

Because accommodate two functions, then we will prioritize the main function more or use more often named as the family room.

In order for the above plans can work well, we can do several things as follows. First, replace the function of a living room with terrace.

So we should take advantage of the front porch is equipped with seats that can be used to receive guests, especially the neighbors around or for environmental affairs.

Second, create a transition area between the front porch and in the space. We create a more private boundary between outer space in this deck and interior space. For example with the following solid wall or a small window may also be a small space as a buffer area or buffer in the form of the foyer.

Third, make furniture or TV rack multifunctional. This furniture should have a compact size and even if the doors can be hidden, disguised, or opened and closed.

So if there are guests who come, the screen will not be seen tvnya directly by the hotel.

Fourth, put the furniture a comfortable lounge chair according to its function. With the main function as a family room, the chairs to be used should also be used for watching TV.

Or even we can also use the sofa bed as a chair but in the model that is suited to our style and proportions of the room.
