June 10th, 2009

Even if you have enough means for expensive stylish furniture, do not block up teenagers room with it. Furniture function here is quite limited - it should be convenient and sufficient for sleeping, sitting-writing-reading and also for storing books, cartridges, diskettes, disks, clothes, any amusing features etc. The only stipulation - is that furniture for teenagers should be light, not of gloomy tones. It is possible to tell the same and about curtains.
Perhaps, it is not necessary to buy so-called teenage sofas, which are thought up for economy of metric area, but not for convenience of the teenager. Spacious ottoman on which it is possible to settle though lengthways though across is, perhaps, best variant in this case.  Allow your child to grow!
Last scientists’ researches prove that the lack of sunlight can negatively affect not only on physical, but even on mental development of teenager.
It is necessary to provide good illumination in the evening. It is important to keep good sight of teenager. Ceiling light often happens insufficient. Desk lamp would be the best addition because it can be rearranged anywhere. Besides, a variety of lamps in shops allows choosing something “cool”, in taste of your child.

The skeleton can be most different - wooden, metal (providing the greatest durability), from above on a skeleton the finishing material (wood, tile, stone, stopper, laminate, etc.) is put. Sometimes, for creation of original design decisions, the color, which is distinct from color of a floor, is used. Dot fixtures are usually arranged in end faces of steps.
The podium is hardly higher the steps, and also there are areas, on which the whole kitchens are being arranged. As a rule the podium height makes 100-200 mm, if the height exceeds these parameters, it is necessary to add steps to podium for extra convenience.
Usually podiums are classified as technical (necessary for communications and more often established in bathrooms and on the kitchen) and decorative podiums (in bedrooms, sitting and other rooms of the house).
Podium can compensate absence of cases, in it is easy to establish sliding containers and to put any things, saving free space of residential zone.
