Floor in the bathroom, first of all, should be below the level of floor in the apartment.
Preparation of a water-proof surface can be named serious challenge. It is necessary to put waterproofing, preliminary having eliminated all to roughness. The “black” floor, prepared for the top covering, should represent flat water-proof bath.
You should be sure that there is no rotting, dampness under the bowl and toilet. Check up quality of couplers of floor. The choice of material for working surface of floor is really rich, and criteria should be the following: the material should not rust, soak through and to be without scratches!

Vinyl coverings are very various on coloring and figure, let out in from 2 up to 4 meters wide. But vinyl needs to be put on concrete floor only after waterproofing.

This story has begun in 1971, when company Plaston (the manufacturer of air dampeners Boneco Air-O-Swiss), has first-ever invented such device as dampener of air. During this period all Europe spoke about deterioration of ecological conditions and about environmental contamination. People have started to think about ecology of premises. Dry air can become the reason of many diseases.

The problem of humidity is not felt at once. If it is cold, the person at once runs behind a heater if it is - behind the conditioner, and artful dryness of air is not practically felt, we see only consequences. But these consequences are frequently much more terrible, than from heat or a cold. Why? The matter is that optimum humidity of air for the person makes 40-60 %.

Dry air (when humidity is below 40 %) worsens the general state of health and causes drowsiness, dryness of skin and mucous membranes, and also raises probability of diseases by sharp respiratory infections even at healthy people.

Modern devices, which are called dampeners of air refer, can solve this problem. How to choose the device which will approach you? In fact it would be desirable to be assured, that it will provide your house with fresh, optimum humidified and, it is desirable, cleared air. Such device should work reliably for a long time, thus to not rustle and, certainly, to be safe. Swiss dampeners of air of mark Boneco Air-O-Swiss are considered as the best ones.

Modern technologies, modern design decisions, huge choice of materials have come in the stead of “calm times”.
High-tech style with deliberate technical devices has generated a new sight at the materials, which were earlier used only in the industrial purposes.
So, for example, application of stainless steel for floor and walls facing has passed from sphere of industrial architecture in the area of private habitation that, first of all, is caused by practicality and functionality of of material.
Italians, being the recognized legislators of interior fashion, have developed tile MAINOX with covering from stainless steel.
The material is represented by three kinds of production that corresponds to various opportunities of tile application.
Mainox panels have the standard size 600х600х29 mm and are applied mainly on the areas of the big quadrature.

Such tile is ideal for public interiors and inhabited spaces.

House interior - is a mirror reflection of your individuality. But we do not always feel what exactly we need. It directly depends on our temperament!
Sanguine and choleric people - are the active people, got used to be in the center of events. Choleric persons are improbably impulsive, that quite often prevents to concentrate it. These people are distinguished by eccentric approach to choice of interior, they gravitate to avant guarde. For sanguine persons creation of harmony color contrasts and furniture from metal and glasses is recommended.
Phlegmatic persons and melancholiacs gravitate to rest and stability. Phlegmatic persons are distinguished by conservatism, and melancholiacs prefer ship in the private world. The dwelling of the phlegmatic person is full of old, got out of fashion furniture. Melancholiacs pay not enough attention to life, they like creative disorder. Phlegmatic persons should select furniture of the muffled and dark tones, and melancholiacs - original design.
There are people, who represent the mixed psychological type: here choleric and melancholic features are combined. Depending on what qualities you wish to strengthen and what - to weaken, it is necessary to form your interior.

The spectrum of modeled elements, which are successfully used by designers in interior, is wide today. The first place in the list is, undoubtedly, given to eaves, a plinth and borders for walls (so-called moldings). They are used not only for ornament of junction of a wall with ceiling and floor, but also for creation of effect of “soaring” ceilings with the built in fixtures. Moldings will effectively decorate doors, walls and even furniture. They will be perfectly entered in any design, beginning from rococo and up to Art Deco.
Decorative modeled elements will favorably issue door and window apertures, and together with wall decor (various medallions and garlands which fasten under a ceiling) will create unique ensemble in your house.

However, it is necessary to remember, that it is possible to experiment so only in case that ceilings in your apartment are high. Otherwise you risk to create sensation not air space, and small, let even very cozy, but of grotto. So, in case of low ceilings it is better to manage ordinary ceiling socket and to hang up a luster.

The main principle of baby’s room interior relies in using of soft quiet tones.
In general interior should be light and neutral, but not too boring, - in it is necessary to bring some bright spots into interior.

It can be any pictures or toys; they will waken interest of the child and will help to development of attention concentration. However, it is not necessary to buy multi-colored wall-papers with figures of animals, sun, ships - the excessive abundance of identical motionless images will disseminate attention of the kid.
Red, orange, yellow are active colors. They will help with development of social function. Use red, yellow and orange colors is very good for languid, apathetic and inactive children, these colors are able to improve their communicative activity increases and mood.
Dark blue, blue, violet are calming colors. They well approach for places and the subjects connected with rest and dream: pillows, bed-clothes, covers. Such colors are also good for hyperactive children as they neutralize excessive excitation.

Green and its various shades calm and weaken. That is why its influence is used at shocks and strong nervous shocks. Light green is a color, which makes us more active, it makes us to study the world, to learn something new.

Brown symbolizes confidence, stability and calmness, but its big quantity does not bring please and even burdens. It is not capable to cause bright emotions. Therefore it is not the best decision in children’s room.

Black, white, grey colors are often treated as absence of color at all. They seldom cause any emotions (but if, certainly, they are not used in lots: a lot of black depresses and upsets, causes fear, and an abundance of white - creates sensation of emptiness and loneliness).

Considering all these characteristics, it is necessary to try to use these colors less often as possible. The child in the big degree learns the world through various colors, acquires concepts and values, studies to understand properties of subjects and the phenomena. Therefore we recommend you to avoid such “empty” colors.

Color palette of interior is very important, as it can make premise not only warmer or more cool, but also create certain mood (pleasure or despondency, irritation or rest) and even to change state of health (to cause inflow of forces or weariness). Therefore, color of walls should be chosen very thoughtfully, it is not simple proceeding from a principle “pleasant - not pleasant”, but it should be chosen according to purpose of premise, age and character of people, living in it.
For bedroom the combination of quiet, relaxing and calming tones (light yellow with brown and honey, is gentle -blue or greenish with white and sand) is recommended. It is not necessary to overload a children’s room with contrast combinations, because the mentality of the child will not sustain a long pressure - the child will start to get tired. In kids’ room it is better to make pastel walls, for example of light green color. It is a color of fresh greens, it calms and invigorates simultaneously, reminding about solar glade or shady cool of summer wood. Sitting room can be issued in brighter and elegant scale: one of walls can be painted with dense terracotta color, on which the white portal of a fireplace will advantageously look, and for others it is better to choose quieter amber or warm beige shades. Multi-colored, but suitable to each other on tone walls, first, do not overload a premise with greater planes of a bright shade, and secondly, looked quite originally and harmoniously.
Elegant and modern cream tones are practically universal. They with success can become background and for interior of sitting room, and for bright kitchen furniture with covering from glossy varnish of any color, and for dark furniture from natural tree of the hall. And in a combination with white (stucco moldings, frames for pictures and mirrors) cream shades look solemnly, and in a combination with natural fuse or a tree - they look cozy and warmly. But if you love luxury crimson, do not refuse make one white wall of bedroom. It will become a nice decoration for your room, especially on a background of white coverlets with contrast pillows (dark blue or dense -violet). Combinations are, certainly, risky, but they will considerably decorate your bedroom. And the same colors in a pastel variant - gentle -pink, pale -lilac and white - will bring romantic atmosphere to your bedroom.

If bedroom in the house - is a separate room, it is desirable to use light pastel and warm colors tone in the interior, creating atmosphere of cosines. When the bedroom is small, using of bright contrast colors is unreasonable. We recommend you to pay attention to nuances - shades of the same colors or tones, close to the general color scale.

Sated tones in bedroom are also possible. If you are young and wish to experiment - it is possible to use, for example, dark blue or even “aggressive” red color for walls. Even dense and warm terracotta or muffled is dark -claret colors may be used. On their background the light bed-clothes and light carpets look perfectly. You will see sweet dreams in such bedroom. A lot of fresh air and warm colors of walls will make your awakening joyful, even if it is snowing or raining.

Natural materials, natural colors - alive greens of plants, light curtains and jalousie, a woolen carpet or banana fibre on light parquet, fixtures with soft diffused light will turn your bedroom into the real place for the rest and love. In bedroom it is possible to make a zone of rest with armchair, floor lamp and low table. In this case bed can be separated by partition with shelves, low rack or translucent jalousie from fabric. It is also possible to allocate a zone of rest, having covered a floor with a carpet.

Here is a good advice for those, who appreciates light, freedom and open space in interior, but does not have enough place in the apartment: you may unite combine bedroom with sitting room, or to make one greater room of two small rooms. Refuse from folding sofa: modern beds are quite nice. But It is recommended separate a bed visually. In this case the high bilateral rack, which would share room into zones, may be used. Both zones will be united by common floor covering.

And finally, even if your bedroom is small on the size, it is all the same recommended to arrange wardrobe. For saving the space, sliding doors may be used. Arrange your wardrobe with every possible racks, hangers and shelves.
