Proper Furniture Selection Can Strengthening Friendly Impression in Living Room Posted: 17 Nov 2013 11:34 PM PST The living room is one of the main room in the house. Many things can we do to enhance living room. Some examples are the selection of furniture, carpet, cabinets, and accessories space. One focal point of a living room is definitely the place to sit. Furniture that we choose affects the impression of guests in the living room. Adjust the selection of furniture with the concept of our living room. Choose wardrobe, bedside table / credenza, or a coffee table that can actually beautify this room. Not only serves to store goods, cabinets or shelves can also function as a partition space with another room. So the laying of these cabinets do not make the room feel claustrophobic. Likewise nightstand and table selection, simple motif on the nightstand or table with beautiful curved lines and contours can also add a bit of softness to the room impression. Carpets can also enhance your elegant guest room, especially for the modern home with spacious living room. The presence of the carpet will eliminate the impression of “naked” from the floor of the living room. Accessories should place well. Choose bright colors, interesting shapes, and to strengthen the character of your living room. Restructure the accessories as well so the easiest way to organize regular and elegant.

It draws a continuous spiral and ends as the partition of a central single room, gradually changing its height.

Four Surprising Cleaning Tips For a Sparkling Home Posted: 17 Nov 2013 11:27 PM PST Everyone wants a home where they feel comfortable living. Many believe there is not only a purpose but a place for everything. However, others are not so concerned with keeping a home tidy. They drop items onto the floor upon entering a room and/or throw their items onto a couch or a bed. These people also tend to spill food or drinks and expect someone else to clean up after them. This only creates welcome areas for pests such as ants, roaches, mice, and bed bugs while making cleaning both time consuming and difficult. We clean our homes by wiping counters, sweeping and mopping floors, doing laundry, and spraying nicks and crevices. As a result, we become exhausted while exposing ourselves to harmful chemicals which can make us become sick or ill. Therefore, many companies have designed products with anti-bacterial and germ-fighting ingredients to ensure a healthier home. To do their part, experts and housewives have offered numerous tips for making a home sparkle. Here are four tips that may surprise you: (1) Wear rubber gloves and masks. Wear rubber gloves to remove unwanted, pet hair from upholstered furniture. Remove the hair simply by submerging the gloves into water. You may choose to wear disposable gloves to help save water or reusable gloves to minimize trash. Masks also come in handy if using a duster to reach high places such as shelves, crown moldings, ceiling lights, and light fixtures. Masks also help protect against allergic reactions to dust. (2) Remove smudges. Make a home-made solution of water and several squirts of dish soap. Dip a washcloth or rag in the solution. Wipe smudges from tables, counters, and baseboards. Be sure to take into consideration that corners and baseboards are easy places for pests to build their homes. (3) Clean the microwave. Place a microwave-safe bowl filled with lemon juice in the microwave. Bring the lemon juice to a boil by heating for 2-3 minutes. This loosens food and grease making the microwave easier to clean while leaving a lemony-fresh scent. As for the tray, remove it and clean with dishwashing liquid in the sink. (4) Smell the sparkle. Houses sparkle when adding shine and using streak-free products. However, to add a little extra sparkle to your home, consider using air fresheners and scented candles to release an aroma of fragrances.
