Posted: 24 May 2011 09:20 AM PDT

Bathroom fittings are an interesting item to shop for; the largest item that can be bought for a bathroom is the bathtub or closure. It is very much essential that these items conform to the entire bathroom design and set up. There are various designs to choose from and one might get confused which one to select. Amongst this entire confusion one must do some research and know about the various types available. This article will contain all the information a first time buyer needs to know about bathtubs.

Cast Iron Bathtubs: these bath tubs are extremely heavy and costly. If one considers antiques then the price is even higher. If one already has cast iron bath tubs in their bathroom then rather getting a new one, they can try renovating their old ones. These forms of bath tubs signify elegance and style.

Modern Bathtubs: Modern bath tubs are very light made of steel, plastic and acrylic. These bath tubs comes in many different shapes and designs like the oval shape, rectangular, square etc. they have matching accessories like matching taps, panels and color patterns.

Circular Bathtubs: this is a breathtaking view, but in order to have a circular bathtub one must have a very big bath room to set the tub in the first place.

Space Saving Bathtubs: these forms of bath tubs utilize every space efficiently, the towel racks are attached to the wall, and there are drawers with the bathtub to keep bath supplies at hand. These bathtubs take the shape of the room in order to minimize wastage of space and can thus take up any shape. The interior can be designed according to choice.

Regular Bathtubs: most common type of bathtubs is the rectangular regular bathtubs available everywhere. These are very much inexpensive. If one is not very keen on bathing for hours and relaxing in the bathroom making it a home spa then they should go for these types of bathtubs as they are efficient and cheap.

No matter what, designing a bathroom is the most important element in designing a house. Therefore the bathroom interiors including the bathtub is a very important feature to decide upon. Whatever the design may be it should definitely depend upon what the purchase purpose is for.  E.g. if one wishes to relax and unwind in the bathtub for long hours after work then they should inevitably go for the circular bathtubs. Then again if one fancies the bath tubs of the past and wishes to have the type that their great grandfather had been using then they should go for cast iron bath tubs.

No matter what the choice made should be thought after and interior decorator professional can be taken as a guide to help anyone choose wisely. Selection of the bathtub is as important as the selection of the interiors of the bathtub. The color selection is also very important, a young girl may want to have hot pink bathtubs where as a sophisticated lady may want to have a light cream color for her bathtub. Therefore the decision is not as easy as it may seems but is sure very much fascinating and fun.

10 More Beautiful Kitchen Designs

Posted: 24 May 2011 06:25 AM PDT

The idea from the title is to suggest some more ideas for the kitchen design, not that these designs are more beautiful than the previous ones I talked about. These being clear, let’s proceed. The kitchen designs you can admire here present mostly large kitchens with enough space to do whatever you want there.

So the tendency nowadays is to have a lot of space for a free movement, including the kitchen in this  trend. The modern kitchen has big cupboards that are both on the floor and also suspended on the walls and this leaves a lot of space around. All the kitchen tools and pots and everything you use in the kitchen – they are all very well deposited and secured behind closed doors, so you can’t see anything like you used to in grandma’s kitchen where the spoons and pans used to hang above the stove.

There’s also complete order and cleanliness and nothing seems to be out of place. Maybe that’s because most of the times kitchen are only decorative as many people prefer to order their meals or dine out instead of cooking. Any way, take a look at these 10 more beautiful kitchen designs and see what is your favourite and how you can adjust the design to our house.

There is a beautiful kitchen all made in wood, including the walls, the furniture and the floor, then there’s the great design of a kitchen facing the glass walls to a great landscape outside, allowing you to cook and have dinner and admire nature – all at the same time. Then there’s the fully equipped kitchen with a totally white design only enhanced by the black table top and the colourful painting on the wall followed by a metal and wood combination.

There’s the small kitchen design , all painted in white, with narrow wall shelves and a nice rectangular table/bar with modern stools that are a combination of kitchen and bar stools, the open kitchen that is continued with a living room and many, many more. You only have to discover each of them and enjoy their beauty and great ideas.

Floating sofa by Philippe Nigro

Posted: 24 May 2011 05:20 AM PDT

There are a lot of interesting designs when it comes to sofas, but this one is really unique as there is nothing like it. This sofa actually looks natural and simple except for the steel tube exo-skeleton frame. That frame has a very precise purpose and it's not there just for the design. It doesn't even look so good if you think about it, and it's not at all children-safe.

The real purpose of that steel frame is to support the sofa. The sofa is actually hanging from a lot of straps, looking like it's floating. This spider web design is very interesting, but not very practical. It takes a lot of space and this is not something that anyone wants. But in case you have a very large living room and you want to make an impression, then this sofa is just the right thing. It looks somewhat artistic and also extravagant. It's definitely an eye-catching piece of furniture.

In case you don't want the floating sofa, you can just place it on the ground, but it would be no fun, especially with that steel frame. The concept is very interesting, but perhaps a little exaggerated. Anyway, this sofa will definitely become the focal point of attention in nay home. If you try to ignore the giant spider web around the sofa, it's really quite simple, just like any ordinary sofa. It's comfortable and very inviting.

Choosing the right sofa

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:40 AM PDT

When it comes to investing in furniture for your living room, you will more than likely want to choose something that will last and also something that won't date too quickly.  A new sofa is a great way to instantly update the living room and also makes a great central piece.  You will however need to choose something that suits the rest of the room, teaming a totally over the top and contemporary sofa with a traditionally styled room just won't work.

A sofa is probably the most used piece of furniture in the house other than the bed, this is why it is extremely important to choose something that will last and also something that won't go out of the trend the second the new season's styles come in.

A great way to really jazz up an otherwise low key and subtly hued living room is to invest in a sofa that is hot in hue; you will however have to be careful you won't get sick of the brighter than bright colour after a while.

Sofas can be purchased in a massive number of shapes, colours and designs at http://www.kandco.com.  As well as the style however, comfort is extremely important.

In the past many have opted for more ornamental and decorative designs in order to meet the latest home ware trends. However, this season is sporting a more minimalist look and more and more are investing in simple and contemporary designs.  The great factor of such a style is that it won't update and it will pretty much go with anything due to the simplicity of the design and style of the sofa.

A leather sofa is a great investment and one that is also extremely functional; it can also be cleaned relatively easily by simply wiping down the surface.  Leather is extremely durable, which means this type of sofa won't have to be replaced in a hurry.  Leather sofas have also always had that rustic attractive edge attached to them and are extremely popular for both homes and offices.

Modular and colorful dining table

Posted: 24 May 2011 03:46 AM PDT

KAYIWA studio has come up with a new table design. It's called NZELA and it's a very practical table. It can be used as a dining table, conference table or simply as a statement piece on the hallway that can also be used for storage. The interesting thing about this table is that its modular shape allows it to look very fun and functional.

As the subjects sit at the table, each one of them has its own separate place and separate colors. The table is made of grade A birch plywood which is evidently better than the usual plain solid wood because of its better resistance to the effects caused by humidity. It's a very fun piece of furniture as it comes in a variety of colors. You can choose from three tabletop colors(red/white, blue/white or yellow/white) and you can also personalize the table by choosing your own favorite colors and glossiness level for the table parts.

And if this was not enough to convince you of the functionality of this table, it also has another very interesting quality. The table is very easy to store as it can be disassembled and the parts can be placed in a neat pile. It's easy to reassemble and the fun part is that you can rearrange the parts in any way you want.

Incredibly relaxing Nook chair by Henry Sgourakis

Posted: 23 May 2011 10:02 PM PDT

This is the most relaxing piece I've seen for a long time. It's so incredibly cozy and inviting, it makes you want to try it right now. Just imagine how cool it would be have it in your own home. The great thing about this structure is that it's also very versatile. It can be used inside, if you have the space necessary, but I think it's more appropriate for the outdoors.

It resembles a hammock but the structure is completely different. Since springtime is already here, this is the perfect accessory as it allows you to completely relax as the net of this structure expands and supports your lazy body. This hammock-inspired piece is actually formed of two parts: the chair and the ottoman or footrest. The relaxation is extreme.

This beautiful and very unusual creation was handcrafted using ropes. The result is aesthetically pleasing and also very cozy and comfortable. It's a very ingenious idea that this designer has come up with. Everybody likes hammock but not everyone has the space and conditions that allow him to have one. So this is like having a portable hammock that you can place wherever you want. I'm not sure how this piece could be disassembled, if it's even possible. It seems a little painful to have to carry it like this.Was designed by Henry Sgourakis.
