| Interior Design The Basic Standard to Maintain Posted: 07 Feb 2014 11:34 AM PST There are a number of people, who mistakes interior designing with interior decoration. But, the fact is that interior designing and interior decoration are completely different things to consider about. Interior designing basically is the governing factor to decide how a room should be organized using the space provided in the room. It is not that easy factor that one can grasp within a few hours, but it takes a long time to think and then organize the things properly to make the most of the space provided in a room. It is always required to hire a professional interior designer to decide how your room will look beautiful, rather than making it clumsy by your own decisions. If you wish your house to look beautiful and attract people, then interior designing solutions are necessary for you to go with.

Purpose of Using a room:
It is important for interior designing of a room to consider, for what purpose the particular room is going to be used. The styles and features that need to be implemented inside the room are to be kept in mind. If someone wants to design his room for comfort purpose, then he should bring such elements that can give the room a soothing effect, by using soft lamps and other furniture and equipping the room with certain designs and decorations to endow the room with a yielding look.
Design Your Room Perfectly:
If you have any particular preference for any historical era, like you wish to design your room according to Victorian or Elizabethan style, then you can do that by consulting your interior designer. If you want your room to exhibit your lifestyle, then you can design the room according to your choice and fascination. The decorations are to be chosen depending upon the design. If you are fond of texture looks, then you can implement texture design everywhere in the room, starting from the walls and the flooring to the things to be kept inside the room. Patters are getting popular day by day while designing a room. If you prefer geometric patterns to be used inside the room to give it a modern look, t hen the decorations should be used following the trend. Depending upon the design, you should put the furniture and other decorating items in your room to give it completeness.

Be careful about the specifications:
Color schemes are most important things to consider in your interior designing. You should consider the direction of your room before choosing the color. After determining the source of natural light coming into your room, it would be easier for you to decide the colors to be used inside the room. Try to make your living room less clumsy so that you can relax properly. Be positive while designing other rooms of your house, like your bedroom, which is the most important room for you to rest. Design your bathroom carefully so that you can get optimum comfort while bathing. Arrange your rooms in such a way that they can attract people who come inside and express your aesthetic views with the help of beautiful designs.

| 5 Tips to Keep Your Lawn Green and Healthy Posted: 06 Feb 2014 10:41 PM PST It takes a lot of effort to keep your lawn green. When you see your neighbor's lush green lawn, you can rest assured he's worked hard at it. If you want your lawn to look like your neighbor's, you'll have to work hard towards it. Maintaining a healthy lawn isn't rocket science and if you're doing it correctly it shouldn't take a lot of effort. There is a lot of misinformation regarding lawn care circulating out there. To steer you in the right direction, we have compiled a few useful tips that you can use. Use Fertilizer Sparingly
It's true that plants need nutrients to grow and the easiest way to provide it is to use fertilizers. However, too much of a good thing can also be bad. If the grass grows too tall it will be plagued by pests and diseases. This shows that using fertilizer in excess can actually damage the plants. Use fertilizer once a year during the fall season. That should be enough to keep your lawn healthy. If you want to use fertilizer, use the organic kind. I don't have to tell you why that's a better alternative. Avoid Pesticides
Pesticides are like nuclear bombs, meaning they don't differentiate when they kill. Not everything that crawls between the plants is out to destroy it. Earthworms for example naturally aerate the soil. They may look like a threat, but spiders and ants actually protect your lawn from pests. When you use pesticides every living organism that is working towards a healthy lawn dies along with the microbes. If you don't want that to happen then stop using pesticides at once. Sure your lawn will suffer a little at the hands of pests, but it is a sacrifice you should be willing to make. Water Infrequently
Plants need water to survive, that's a no brainer. However, they don't need to be watered daily, once a week is fine. This will encourage the roots to grow deeper and find groundwater. When you do water the plants make sure you do it well. You're only doing it once a week so it shouldn't be a problem for you. Water the grass until there is an inch of water accumulated over the surface. Water your lawn in the morning, preferably at the break of dawn. This will keep the lawn cool until the water evaporates under the afternoon sun. Mow Your Lawn
Unfortunately this is the area where the majority of your work lies, there's just no avoiding it. As mentioned before tall grass is susceptible to diseases and pests, which is why you need to mow your lawn regularly. Keep the blades of your lawn mower sharp, to get a clean cut. The point is to cut the grass, not butcher it. Cut about one third of the grass and no more. You don't need to emulate a military barber and give your lawn a crew cut. Mow your lawn in varying patterns for best results. Aerate When Necessary
Earthworms and microbes aerate the soil, but when they can't get the job done it's up to you. Aerating the lawn enriches the soil by allowing the passage of water, air and organic matter deep into it. Excessive mowing and foot traffic prevents the flow of oxygen to the microbes. When this happens it's time to use an aerator to punch holes in the ground. The holes act like pores that allow the soil to breathe. Without them the soil will asphyxiate causing the plants to die. The spring and fall season are perfect for aerating the soil. Lawn care isn't something you should take lightly. If you do, you'll find bald patches forming all over. Your lawn is a symbol of your social status in the neighborhood. The greener your lawn is the better your standing. If your lawn looks like a devastated mine field you're not going to get a lot of social visits from your neighbors. While this might be a good thing, it's no reason to keep your lawn in such a God-awful condition. There are better ways to keep your neighbors away. Plus, with a superior lawn you can make them burn with envy. It's probably the best advantage of having a lawn.
