Ceiling Color For A Matching Interior Design

type=html>

Home Interior Design Ideas , There are lots of ways to alter the conception of the height of a space. Ceiling has typically been painted white-colored to create an impression of more elevation. However, should the interior design of your home not want more elevation then consider painting the ceiling a more dark color. Always paint the ceiling ahead of the walls. If you paint them first, it is rather hard to keep ceiling drips and splatters from the wall surface.

In a children room, it gives a fine impression to paint the ceiling in a deeper coloring. This will make the ceiling seem lessen and the room will be a more affectionate space for a child. Think about painting a faux skies or perhaps cloud effect on one of your ceilings. This paint strategy is especially nice in bath rooms and bedrooms.

 

For those who have a low ceiling you want to visually lift, color the wall from floor to ceiling in one color. When there is a chair rail or dado, make use of the same color or style on the wall above and below moldings and color the chair rail in a color near to the wall coloring.

 

Interior Design Idea For Ceiling Colors Of Colored Walls

Whilst white is well-known because of its neutrality, it is far from the best color for a ceiling. White can make a ceiling seem closer in a place with a low ceiling, yet will even make a ceiling seem further away in rooms with high ceiling. Whenever possible, try to increase color to your ceiling.

 

A great way to get this done is by using a shade of the wall colour. The ideal hue can be developed by mixing one part of the wall’s color with two or three parts pure white. Moldings could be painted the same shade or a shade darker than the ceilings. By utilizing shades of the same color, you will make sure that all the tones look good with each other and by that you would create a fascinating interior design…. Home Interior Design Ideas .

How to Start Designing Your House Plans Before Hiring a Home Designer

For most people, the chance at designing their dream home is rare. If you are fortunate enough to ever be in a position to do so, then you should be aware that it takes considerable time, planning, and money to complete the job. Most people will choose to hire an architect to get it done, but this can be expensive for the average person. As an alternative solution, a professional building designer (aka home designer, residential designer) can provide the same services, in most cases, at a much lower rate than that of an architect.

Develop a must-have and wish list

You can get the ball rolling and save some time in the early stages by doing at least part of the design yourself. It doesnt have to be to scale per se, but a simple sketch and notes can prove to be very useful in the beginning stages of the design process. Begin by making a list of must-haves and a separate wish list of things youd like to include in your house plans. Your must-have list is going to obviously include the necessary rooms which include the family room, kitchen, dining room, and bathrooms. Your wish list, on the other hand, can and will include a number of extras that are only limited by your homes total heated square footage, land space, and most importantly your budget. Wish list items may include things like an extra bedroom for guest, an office, a bonus room, an entertainment room, or a game room.

Creating a basic floor plan

Take a sheet of paper and a pencil and let your creative juices flow. So what if you cant draw? You can create squares or circles and position them in the general location of where you want rooms to be located. It doesnt have to be perfect. The idea is to develop an outline from which to build upon.

Design to maximize room space, size, and usage. Which rooms will you and your family spend the most time in? Perhaps it is the kitchen or maybe it is the family room. These decisions will depend on your lifestyle and this is where your focus should lie when it comes to designing your home. For example, if the kitchen is going to be the most important room in your home, then you should allocate as much space as you can to it. Move to the second most important room and apply a little less footage in terms of space and work your way down the list until you feel comfortable with all room sizes. However, you must also remember to include room for necessary things like stairways and connecting corridors because that can account for some of that important space. Once you have the primary rooms in place, consider if you have additional room for more and begin to tackle your wish list.

Enlist the help of a designer

Now that you have a rough concept of your ideal home, it is time to move ahead. At this point youll want to take your rough plans to a home designer or an architect so they can create a professional set of house plans to build from. You will also need to know the style of architecture you desire, so the designer can create that look in the design of your homes exterior. This may change the basic footprint of your floor plan rough draft, but a skilled designer can overcome this challenge.

So there you have it, a simple and easy process to design your own home. You dont have to be skilled at drawing or know every aspect of putting a floor plan together. As long as you can put together a written list and a sketch merely showing room locations, you can design your own home and literally be a partner with you designer in the conception of your dream home.

A Primer for Pansies

My summer periwinkles seem to be at their absolute peak. For a Texas gardener (and others who are lucky enough to have relatively mild winters), warm days and cool nights mean its time to yank out those beautiful summer annuals and get the cool season annuals in the ground.

For me, the cool season annual of choice is the pansy. While Ive blogged about the fabulous pansy before here, in this post, I thought Id give you the quick scoop on the ideal way to prepare your beds, plant and care for your pansies to maximize their beauty throughout the fall and winter.

• Choose a sunny location for your pansies. Ideally a half to full day of sun is required for the best flower production
• Prepare the bed. Whenever you change out your annual color, add organic matter to your bed - compost, landscape mix or even potting soil will give any plant the ideal place to grow.
• Apply a good, time released fertilizer to the prepared soil. I will occasionally use a water soluble fertilizer every other week or so to give plants a further boost.
• After planting, apply mulch. Mulch not only protects the plants, increases moisture retention and helps keep weeds at bay, it also provides a clean, finished look to all of your landscape beds.
• Water the beds after planting and continue to water enough to keep the beds moist for the first few weeks. After the plants are established, water every week or so. Over watering is the worst thing for pansies. Note: Do water your pansies before a predicted freeze. Water helps protect the plants during extended periods of cold weather. 
• Enjoy the results!

A few thoughts on decking products and warranties

CsayaPOSITE DECKING

Hello ... We met recently with the new sales rep from GAF/ELK.
GAF has just recently purchased Correct Deck CX, which has been one of our favorite composite decking choices. Correct Deck was the innovator in the cap layer composite. Which Fiberon and Trex have recently come out with similar cap layer composites.
Timber Tech is also going to come out with a cap layer composite product.

The Correct Deck CX is a co-extrusion cap layer composite which covers over the first generation composite (inside the cap layer), which is a wood 60%/plastic 40% mixture.

FIRST GENERATION CsayaPOSITES

First generation composite products promised allot "less maintenance" then the treated / cedar wood decking, that was the standard choice for deck materials. The main promise was that the first generation composite products did not need to be stained. The staining process of a wood deck can be allot of work and time consuming. So the composite products started to catch on, Trex was the first composite on the decking market. There was problems though, the wood fiber / plastic mixture weathered still , Severe fading from sun exposure , mold became a big problem, and scratching, and staining became issues also.

So for having the promise of - not having to stain the deck, you gained a bunch more bad side effects. Keep in mind that in different climates of the country and even different areas of a site where a deck is built can increase or decrease the issues with the first generation composites. We have done some first generation composite decks that still look pretty good after 10 years or more and some that do not look as good. In Michigan where we are, the sun exposure time, the height of the deck, and the moisture that is in the area of the deck, can be the main factors in problem issues with the first generation composites. If the deck is in full sun 24/7 generally western or southern exposure you will get allot of fading of the color on first generation composites, But this will help with moisture/mold growth problems. The height of the deck is also a big factor, generally you do not want a deck built, wood/composite/PVC any lower than twelve inches in height, to the finish floor. The decking needs to dry out and breath. If your patio, porch or deck area is lower than twelve inches, I would recommend going with a hardscape material. Stamped concrete or brick pavers. The moisture issue, is the last of the three problem areas we see, sprinkler system add allot of water to a patio, porch or deck area. They also add allot of water to the water table in the ground which will become an issue in the winter time with frost heave. Also allot of overhanging trees can keep the deck from drying out which will promote mold growth. Mold growth generally comes from wet wood products that stay wet for long periods of time and start to rot, which breeds mold.

HEIGHT, SUN EXPOSURE, MOISTURE

If you keep those three main factors in mind you can still have good success with a first generation composite product.

If you have a deck or patio area that would fall into one of those problem areas. I would recommend the second generation composites or PVC decking choices.

SECOND GENERATION CsayaPOSITES - CAP LAYER/PVC

This get us back to the Correct Deck CX product which again was bought out by GAF/ELK

GAF/ELK is one of the largest roofing material manufactures in the world and they have been in business for over a hundred years. So they have allot of stability which is always nice.
They have come out with very unique contractor certifications and warranty programs based off of there roofing products. Which everyone knows about all the issues that can challenge a roofing product, yet they still offer these lifetime warranties on their roofing systems.

Lifetime labor and material warranty

The new Correct Deck CX GAF/ELK product will offer a lifetime warranty with both labor and materials covered. I have never heard of the labor being covered, which is a strong security to a homeowner. Trex had some issues awhile back with defective materials that decayed in a year or two and they covered the materials but the homeowner was stuck with paying the contractor to remove and replace the defective product. With the cost to upgrade to a composite or pvc product in the first place, a life time labor and material warranty is a peace of mind.

Thank You, for reading .. We will get more into the second generation composites/pvc and the new products in decks for the 2010 season coming up in the next few days.
