Eco Friendly Garden Furniture

Labels: Decorating ideas, Home Design, House Design and Architecture, Wall and Tiles Design

When choosing eco-friendly garden furniture, is it enough for it to be FSC certified? Should we be sticking to local materials or choosing garden furniture made from salvaged or recycled materials?

Is it more sustainable to choose garden furniture made from local materials, or garden furniture made from salvaged wood?

These elegant loungers are made from salvaged teak

The sustainable furniture option does not have to mean compromising on design

The teak will age elegantly over many years to a soft silver grey.

No need to oil, wax or varnish.

Sustainable garden furniture choices can be a minefield as there is no one right answer. Here are some simple tips to keep in mind when making your decisions...

1/Buy garden furniture made from locally produced wood

There is no excuse for buying teak furniture (even if it is sustainably forested) when so much environmental damage is done shipping it halfway around the world. Choose English Oak from local managed woodland, or if you must have teak, choose furniture made from salvaged or recycled wood

2/Buy recycled garden furniture, or garden furniture that is made from reclaimed materials

Furniture made from recycled or reclaimed materials is clearly the most sustainable option. Garden Boutique have a great choice of stylish recycled metal garden furniture and wooden furniture made from reclaimed wood. These materials are already in circulation and so have a limited impact on the environment.

3/Avoid oil based paints and stains.

Choose wood that is suitable for outdoor use without treatment such as oak, sweet chestnut, larch, western red cedar or douglas fir. If you must colour your wood, choose water-based products so that any wooden furniture can be recycled or composted at the end of its useful life.

This garden furniture is made from 100% recycled aluminium.

Making this garden furniture reuses waste aluminium and consumes only 5% of the energy needed to produce aluminium from ore.

Small Balcony Ideas

Labels: Bedroom Design, Decorating ideas, Garden Furniture, Home Design, House Design and Architecture, Interior Design, Modern Design, Modern Furniture, Staircase, TV Stand

I have a really small balcony (1m x 4m) which faces north and it’s lovely to sit with a cup of coffee, read the paper or munch on a piece of toast in the morning sunshine – if only I could fit! No matter how many different ways I have tried to organise that balcony, it has been a constant decorating challenge. Small tables and chairs always over-crowd the space making it impractical to move around and walk down to the yard - until I discovered the Hanging Balcony Table.

It looked pretty ridiculous online, but for $59.95 it was worth giving it a try.When it arrived, it was a little larger than I thought and solved the problem perfectly. Coupled with a bench seat from IKEA and these cute little pink and scarlet outdoor cushions, I have the perfect place to sit in the mornings to watch the birds and enjoy the sunshine.

Here are a few other small balcony ideas I have uncovered while researching my own little project… Urban Balcony has some great furniture ideas including these ones for small spaces:

Plantation High Bar Table

Hanging Balcony Table

Burkes Backyard featured a small balcony makeover one episode including converting aluminium toolboxes into bench seats that also double as storage. I’m not too keen on the look personally, but I was originally thinking of having a piece of furniture custom made to fit in this space which could act as a kind of small daybed and storage box at the same time. They also featured another balcony makeoverwhich looks much better including custom designs furniture and wooden deck tiles.

Bathroom Vanity Cabinets

Labels: Bedroom Design, Home Design, Home Interior Design, House Design and Architecture, Interior Design, Minimalist Design

Any design of Bathroom Vanity Cabinets are to consider the use of steam, hot and cold water system in the bathroom. As those three kind of liquids are the most commonly found in a bathroom one use to clean his body. Although it seems to have nothing to do with , it may directly affect Bathroom Vanity Cabinets performance in the sense of its lifetime and its hygienic.

Bathroom Vanity Cabinets Home Design, Home Interior Design, House Design and Architecture, Interior Design, Minimalist Design, Bedroom Design

Basic rule to notice is that one should spare at least 4 inches rise from the bathroom floor surface before putting Bathroom Vanity Cabinets. This is a must. Most Bathroom Vanity Cabinets start to get damaged starting from their base part. Yes, it is because of water splash and very high floor moisture which is absorbed by the Bathroom Vanity Cabinets porous material. When this happened bacteriae and or rust will grow up and settle in unreachable spots which is impossible to be cleaned then.

For some aesthetical reasons there are designs where one must put his Bathroom Vanity Cabinets directly on the bathroom floor without any concrete bed to lay on. Yes you can do that as long as you are sure your bathroom floor is 100% dry. 5% of moisture is the maximum tolerance you can get for this kind of purpose. Since to build a 100% dry floor surface would require a lot of cost to build. Usually the Bathroom Vanity Cabinets manufacturer or the carpenter you order them from will use the hardest and best quality of wood to anticipate the demand. Plus using the kind of Poly Urethane surface protection to make it last long.

The only thing is most bathroom will use ceramic tiles at its floor and walls. As we understand there are grout lines all over the floor surface so indeed the Bathroom Vanity Cabinets are still exposed to water in some way. Nothing is perfect and above mentioned is the best thing one can do to fulfill his dream bathroom lay out. To arrange a short meeting between you, your designer and your contractor is the best way to do prior to the work.

There is possibility to invite another contractor who do waterproofing job. Your Bathroom Vanity Cabinets lifetime will depend on his work indeed. The remaining 5% tolerance of floor moisture is a result of naturally never ending condensation process. Particularly when your bathroom environment bears a hot humid air then condensation must be handled by proper experienced contractor.

Home Design in Different Parts of the World

Labels: Home Design

Did you ever notice that whenever you are visiting a friend or a relative that lives somewhere else than you do, their home may be constructed and designed differently? New homes usually reflect the weather of the area where they are built, the lifestyle and the location – rural or urban.

Houses that are built in areas where the winters are rough and the summertime is extremely hot and humid tend to be built on the outside with stone or bricks and vinyl and composite siding which is both easy to maintain and resistant. If the house is built in an area where floods are a common thing, or hurricanes for that matter, the structure of the building is higher because it is constructed at an elevation level above the flood zone. For the roofs constructors usually use hurricane clips that secures it. The solid structure is not going to fly off or collapse even in strong gusts of air.

Small One Room Apartment Interior Design Inspiration

Labels: Decorating ideas, Exterior, Home Design, Interior Design, Lighting

Last week I was in Bucharest to meet a few people that I knew from the internet. We spoke for a long time online but we never saw each other in real life, and I’ve decided that right now I could go to visit Bucharest and meet a few of my “digital friends“. Now to avoid paying between 50 - 100 euro/night to stay at a hotel a good friend of mine ( Adi ) took me to his little one room apartment, and how I have a blog about architecture, interior design, furniture, etc …I’ve decided to take some pictures, because I really liked how Adi made that small place look really good. Now let’s take a look at this small one room apartment, that is a great example of how you can make a small apartment look really good.

At night these red lights make a very romantic and calming atmosphere.

Minimalist design

Labels: Design Exterior, Design Gallery, Home Design, Home Interior Design, House Design and Architecture, Interior Design, Minimalist Design, Modern Design

Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe adopted the motto "Less is more" to describe his aesthetic tactic of arranging the numerous necessary components of a building to create an impression of extreme simplicity, by enlisting every element and detail to serve multiple visual and functional purposes (such as designing a floor to also serve as the radiator, or a massive fireplace to also house the bathroom). Designer Buckminster Fuller adopted the engineer's goal of "Doing more with less", but his concerns were oriented towards technology and engineering rather than aesthetics. A similar sentiment was industrial designer Dieter Rams' motto, "Less but better" adapted from van der Rohe. The structure uses relatively simple elegant designs; ornamentations are quality rather than quantity[dubious – discuss]. The structure's beauty is also determined by playing with lighting, using the basic geometric shapes as outlines, using only a single shape or a small number of like shapes for components for design unity, using tasteful non-fussy bright color combinations, usually natural textures and colors, and clean and fine finishes. Using sometimes the beauty of natural patterns on stone cladding and real wood encapsulated within ordered simplified structures, and real metal producing a simplified but prestigious architecture and interior design. May use color brightness balance and contrast between surface colors to improve visual aesthetics. The structure would usually have industrial and space age style utilities (lamps, stoves, stairs, technology, etcetera), neat and straight components (like walls or stairs) that appear to be machined with machines, flat or nearly flat roofs, pleasing negative spaces, and large windows to let in lots of sunlight. This and science fiction may have contributed to the late twentieth century futuristic architecture design, and modern home decor. Modern minimalist home architecture with its unnecessary internal walls removed may have led to the popularity of the open plan kitchen and living room style.

Another modernmaster who exemplifies reductivist ideas is Luis Barragán. In minimalism, the architecturaldesigners pay special attention to the connection between perfect planes, elegant lighting, and careful consideration of the void spaces left by the removal of three-dimensional shapes from an architectural design. The more attractive looking minimalist home designs are not truly minimalist, because these use more expensive building materials and finishes, and are relatively larger.

Contemporary architects working in this tradition include John Pawson, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Álvaro Siza Vieira, Tadao Ando, Alberto Campo Baeza, Yoshio Taniguchi, Peter Zumthor, Hugh Newell Jacobsen, Vincent Van Duysen, Claudio Silvestrin, Michael Gabellini, andRichard Gluckman.[2]

The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. Minimalist design has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture. In addition, the work of De Stijl artists is a major source of reference for this kind of work. De Stijl expanded the ideas that could be expressed by using basic elements such as lines and planes organized in very particular manners.source

Compact Holiday Home with Uncommon Interiors- VilLA NM

Labels: Home Design

We just received some photos from UNStudio showcasing this uncommon holiday home from Upstate New York. VilLA NM is a compact building, especially designed for weekend and vacation getaways with family and friends. The architects described it as a “futuristic hut” that has unobstructed panoramic views over the surrounding landscape and large floor to ceiling windows that establish a great connection with the exterior. Here is more information: “The kitchen and dining area on the ground floor are connected by a ramp to the living space above, the 1.5-meter (5 feet) height change allowing for a sweeping outlook over the surrounding woodland and meadows. A similar ramp connects the living area to the master and the children’s bedrooms on the second floor.

Facilities such as the bathroom, kitchen and fireplace are clustered in the vertical axis of the house, leaving the outer walls free. Large glazed windows feature in all but the most private rooms.Technically, the volumetric transition is generated by a set of five parallel walls that rotate along a horizontal axis from vertical to horizontal. The walls become floor and vice versa. The ruled surface maintaining this transition is repeated five times in the building. Standardizing and pre-fabricating of this structural element lowered the building costs without reducing the spatial quality of the interior.”

The Dream House You Cannot Own!

Labels: Home Design

This could give the Iron Man’s house a run for its money. Approximately 40 miles north of Auckland, New Zealand is the perfect perch for a proposed dream house. Though only an architectural visualization at this point, this is the kind of house you would normally expect a Bond movie villain to own!
Mahina, Maori for moon, designed by Weber Consulting was originally slated to be placed on the relatively uninhabited Kawau Island. However the island’s residents are torn over whether or not to allow it to be built. The controversy has led to international interest, and according to the New Zealand Herald News, the official website for the Mahina says that the moon-shaped house can be built anywhere on the planet.

The website literature states, “A predominantly modern residence with a ‘Bondesque’ suggestion of times past; the glamorous age of martinis and tuxedos.”

“Dispel the misconception that white is starck (sic) or austere. Here it is lavish, sumptuous, opulent.”

The house is 827 square feet and is set to have a plant room, deck, swimming pool and “thermal mass” to regulate internal temperatures.
