Cozy Guest Room

The living room is a public area that is often seen people outside the household. Thus, the arrangement should be as good as possible so they can become focal points of occupancy.

There are some things to consider before you set up the room. The first is a function of the space, whether to be used as living room, family room or other space? Therefore, occupancy is comprised of several rooms.

If you already know the function of that space is a living room, the second step of determining the concept of space. Concepts or themes that were taken tended to follow major themes of the house. For example classical or Mediterranean.

After that, you can determine those things that support this concept, one decorative element. In designing a room requires a balance between functionality, concepts, and supporting elements are formed so that the space looks nice and comfortable.

Thus, application of furniture, decorations, or accessories in the living room area should be more careful because the laying of furniture in determining the comfort room. You must be good at determining the needs of the space. You do this by making a comparison between the furniture and the proportion of air circulation and light into the room.

If the room is small, it is better to minimize the furniture that you can eat a lot of places. Because, furniture that is too large or many impressive rooms would be full. For example, you can use the couch with the holder of four seats. The mount is designed for guests and the rest for the hosts.

In contrast to the living room in size, certainly needed the right quantities so that the room couch so not impressed too roomy. You can select a set complete with a sofa table.

Principle, to make room to be comfortable and appropriate, the important thing is how do you change a small space seem not to be too narrow and wide spaces do not become too roomy. That way, there is a balance in that space.

In addition to space requirements, you must also consider the character of the space in question. You do this by viewing the concept or theme that is carried by the housing.  Clasic, Mediterranean, or a minimalist? If the room has shades of classic characters, you can apply to the use of furniture and accessories are also undeniably a classic.

The main element is the interior walls, floors and ceilings. To get an impression of a comfortable dwelling, you should be able to combine these three main elements. After that, you can apply the furniture selection was based on three elements.

There are two kinds of walls, the interior walls and exterior walls. Well, we’re talking about this time of course because it deals with the interior wall of the living room. You can create a beautiful impression on dinding. There’s only painted using paint interior walls, some are using wallpaper. Wallpaper increasingly popular because of their use of simple and practical.

This wallpaper can be used as a differentiator antarruang who do not have a separator. To display colors on the walls, actually choosing wall paint is very easy. You already know the origin of the colors that stand out in the living room. For example, a sofa that you use the red, while yellow accessories.

You can create gradations of color by combining two colors so that it produces a lot of bright colors derivative. The colors that you can select and apply on the parlor wall. Moving on to the floor. Besides used as a foothold, first floor room also serves as an attractor.

To make the floor into a comfortable and unique, there are many choices of materials, coatings, and floor accessories. One of the carpet. Normally used as floor coverings, carpet, but later changed to the extent the function of an accent.

Carpet has two functions. First as floor coverings, both as a floor accent. So placement of the carpet only partially in certain areas. For example, the carpet is used only at the bench and coffee table.

Floors can also be artistic impression through the application of ceramic or marble-patterned and no. For example tile Dutch era.

In addition to containing the value of history, the Dutch tiles are also able to give the impression of coolness in the dwelling. The ceiling, serves as a barrier between the roof space and space that we use everyday.

The most common problem is the ceiling height in a residential or too low. To anticipate it, use an accent can cover the deficiency.

Suppose the living room ceiling is too high. You can use horizontal lines are useful accent to disguise it so that the impression of the high ceiling is missing. Vice versa, the ceiling is too low can be disguised by a vertical line accents.

Modifying Narrow Kitchen

Kitchen as the main service area in a very strategic housing role by supporting the passage of a system at home.

However, not everyone can have a beautiful and spacious kitchen so we can feel comfortable interacting with them. How can we be comfortable in the kitchen cooking when the house or kitchen area is very limited?

Small land could have made felt relieved by doing arrangements of equipment in a timely manner. Had a small but efficient kitchen certainly will give the same pleasure we have or have activity in the kitchen area. The key, we must be creative and innovative at the time of regulating and organizing the kitchen to get the best furniture arrangement. Similarly, placement of sinks sink, storage cabinets and laying of the drawers. We can apply many things which we will discuss in greater detail in the article below. So that everything can be organized and handled properly.

Let’s discuss the first point, namely selecting the goods or equipment. Choose the goods or equipment that is very important just to be put in the kitchen. Do not put a great set of cookware or potentially create a full room, but never or very rarely used.

Make a list of equipment based on the priorities of the important, somewhat important, very important to want to be used and placed in the kitchen. Then choose the most important things just so we can see how big the space savings that can be obtained. If it’s still possible put the item on the outside or other than in the kitchen, do it.

The second point, setting up and choosing the right furniture. We must prioritize the use of multifunctional furniture or can be used for various activities. For example the table box, or better yet form a circle table that saves space and placed in the middle of the room. This table can be accessed from several directions and we can use it for cutting meat, slicing onions, or weeding the vegetables.

Reserving parts of the wall hanger and ready to be used as a place to hang utensils. Use folding chairs that can be moved and stored when not in use. This will further save space.

Third, setting the storage medium such as cabinets and drawers. Set laying lacilaci and magnitude of the storage closet in the appropriate size. Set also pintupintu and drawer cabinet with a pull of a hidden order to avoid collision between the tug and bendabenda in front of him. Make a storage cupboard or cabinet height to accommodate equipment that is rarely used. Make a place in the form of portable boxes to accommodate and store items such as mat cutting boards, pots, trays, and other equipment to be removed and taken back if needed. Make the top of the stove, the main remaining near vacuum of space to store chimney smoke or doodads.

Pick a table top or cabinet and pull the handle with a simple shape or form similar to a straight line to obtain a simple and clean impression. Then avoid the use of the forms that have more ornamentation and detail that is often associated with classical and ethnic forms.

Finally, choose a sink or wash the dishes the right place. We can use the sinks or the L-shaped angle as a place to wash. Or can also use the sink with one hole, two holes side by side. Choose a faucet that can be shifted toward semprotannya allowing us to clean the dishes and bowls, as well as rinse.

For convenience, we recommend the kitchen work table height is set according to the proportion of your height for comfort while working. Similarly, the height of the upper cabinet, must still within reach of hand.

Ethnic Modern Interior

Bored with a minimalist style? Mix and match various styles can be a solution. For example modern concept and ethnic houses. Two opposing design style, but the results can be amazing.

Ethnicity is a modern-style house that evolved from the minimalist concept with additional ethnic. Therefore, modern style with ethnic meant modern design house style, but still contains the traditional elements. Traditional elements is only limited to the design.

Usually ethnic style that is often used to the concept of home is a Java and Bali. Even if there Dayak style and so forth, that’s rare.

According to him, ethnicity is more popular than Java, Bali style. The analysis comes from the image of Bali, close to the feel of a vacation that provides a psychological effect on residents recreation.

If Java is because residents usually prefer the style of Java, an impression that arises is also close to luxury. Luxury that is caused by several ethnic Javanese furniture with known expensive. For example teak wood, Jepara carving, and so forth.

Modern ethnic designs houses are also not difficult, you just need to design the house as usual, because we’ve been in modern times is not it? This means in terms of the arrangement and design blueprints of the house keeping habits of our daily needs.

Space-space arranged in such a way as to make functional, simple, and follow the needs of its inhabitants. Because this time, the pattern of human thought always wanted an instant, efficient, and multifunctional so that reflected in home design.

For example the kitchen, if used should be in the house behind the kitchen, bathroom, too. Watch it now developers are not reluctant to put the position of the bathroom near the family room. Because the design of the bathroom itself alone is very artistic.

In terms of architectural design, the concept of ethnicity does not have to appear completely in residence. Analogues such as this, if your home is a modern style you want to add elements of ethnicity, it is not necessary to revamp or a major restructuring. Simply by giving the ornaments, ornaments or knick-knacks ethnic, easy is not it?

Compositions can be 50:50 or 75:25, depending on your tastes, just a little better because of the ethnic composition of more modern styles tend to be simple. While ethnicity is very complicated, if combined with a portion of the same ethnic styles will be more conspicuous.

This will result in even tend ethnic house style, not modern ethnic. However, it returned to your taste as executor of the design. Would you like to emphasize ethnic or just ornaments complement.

The next tips, display accessories and home decor-themed ornaments also have ethnic support an ethnic style. It deals with the proportion of 75-25 earlier.

Thus, the ethnic only slightly but still can provide the right nuance. Suppose you have a very minimalist style house. However, when you’re traveling out of town, such as North Sumatra, you want to buy ulos cloth so it could not hurt to be used as wall hangings.

When displayed, the ethnic element is already a part of your home. Staying added with other ethnic decorations only, then your home can certainly be said of modern ethnic.

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.
