Bathroom illumination

March 6th, 2009

Bathroom is not just a premise where we wash; it is our home “welness salon”. For this reason it should be cozy and beautiful. Certainly, the huge role is played by color scale and the color of walls, floor and ceiling, but the main thing is to arrange comfortable illumination.
Illumination in bathroom should arrange so that you did not feel discomfort from surplus or lack of light. Illumination should be soft, warm, but quite bright. In dark blue, cold light color of skin seems unhealthy. In order to feel comfortable in the bathroom, it is necessary to arrange light of 60-75 W (if your bathroom is small) or 150 W - if you have large bathroom.
If your bathroom is small, for its illumination one fixture would be desirable, and here in a bathroom of the big sizes some light sources are necessary.
BASIC AND ADDITIONAL FIXTURES
Quite often basic fixtures in a bathroom are arranged on the ceiling. It can be one big fixture or a small one, built in false ceiling. The fixtures built in a ceiling differ that the accessories are in ceiling design.
Designers like to use wall fixtures at designing of the big bathroom -wing-bar. Wing-bar give a diffused light, softer, not rejecting the shades, creating cozy atmosphere.
Usually mirrors are equipped with additional illumination. The image in a mirror should be accurate, that is not always possible, if light falls because of a back. It occurs, when the bath is equipped with one ceiling fixture or a wing-bar, located on the opposite wall.
The form of fixtures should correspond to the general style of bathroom.

Stainless steel tile

February 18th, 2009

Stainless steel has been for a long time used for facing of walls and floor in premises. It is especially functional, if you do not pay too much attention to changeable styles. This material is strong, durable and water-resistant. It becomes especially important in industrial premises. Noble shine of steel attracts many designers.
Soft color reflexes - from fixtures, accessories, draperies - create interesting effects. However, work with stainless steel - as with sheet material -has certain difficulties. Elementary economic calculation forces to reduce thickness of sheet, and it in turn requires additional work: search of comprehensible engineering-design and technological decisions - rigidity edges, skeletons, and substrates, fastening elements.
German firm Hoba Steel has offered the original decision of these problems.

Multi-colored walls

January 30th, 2009

You can always make a choice and you can always bring something new to your life. If you want to make your room look different, we recommend you to bring some changes.
If windows of room face the west and there is enough daylight in the room, it is possible to divide it visually on two parts, having colored walls of the room in different colors. For example, that, the wall, which is opposite to a window and one of adjoining can be colored in dark quiet tone, and that one, close to the window, - in more light color.
Two zones - light and dark, quieter and active will turn out as though. And due to magic of color more dark corner is as though removed, and light extends. Therefore the room visually looks larger.
In order to increase space more light ceiling of the same color, as a wall (for example, beige or yellow) will help.
How to choose appropriate color?
- Red - is exciting color, it is full of energy. But thus it causes subconscious feeling of alarm because it is often interfaced to interdictions and dangers. Especially it is not necessary to take a great interest in red color, if you are quick-tempered person. It is undesirable for children’s room.
- Yellow - is solar and warm color, it cheers up. It is considered, that it makes active intelligence, helps dialogue, therefore perfectly approaches for registration of an educational zone. It is color of the counterbalanced people.
- Orange color stimulates appetite; it perfectly approaches for creativity and causes inflow of inspiration.
- Green is the quietest color, it is a color of the nature, and therefore it installs feeling of balance and sensation of stability.
- Dark blue color is cool, but it is also quiet color, which associates with the sea. It also well promotes rest, removal of a pressure, imagination.
- Violet color helps to dream, it is often chosen by people, who love history, know about many generations of the ancestors.
- White is a neutral color. In a white interior it is easy “to play” color details, which it favorably emphasizes.
