Never Bored Work at Home

Category: home gardening plant @ 11:27 pm

Demands and higher workload, causing us to be quick and responsive follow the progress of the world.

This often makes the time available in the office felt more and more narrow and less so it takes extra time to finish the job. To overcome these problems, it is necessary disiasati the room in the house to meet the need to handle and resolve the problem of employment. It takes an extra space that makes us feel calm, orderly, and comfortable to be able to finish the job.

Many ways can be done to create a work space in the house. We can select several alternatives to accommodate the needs of the working space. This course will greatly depend on the amount of space and budget that we can provide.

In terms of location, we should choose a somewhat isolated from other spaces. To obtain a high level of privacy, you should use a permanent wall and away from the active nature of space and full of activities, such as family room or child’s playroom. Better yet, can we place on the second floor, near the bedroom or reading room and library.

For furniture we can choose only to use tables if combined with other rooms. Or we can just use a floating table that is embedded in the wall so that room can still feel spacious and airy. If the room is still possible, we can add a credenza as a place of support equipment such as printers and fax machines.

If there is any other space again, so can we put the cabinet or bookshelf to store books supporting the work. In addition, we can equip it with a sofa to a comfortable reading room and useful if we want a little relaxation after working hard for a moment.

Other supporting equipment, we can put the music player to make it more feel relaxed while working. Also can we put the aquarium for ornamental fish as well as landscape paintings or other images that could cause the atmosphere relaxed.

To be more comfortable, we can put photos with family members as well as recording a very impressive trip for us.

As a material, can be used as a wood parquet floor to get warm atmosphere of the room. Can also use marble or granite materials in order to get the impression of luxury and elegance. If not possible, we use a new ceramic floor.

Materials such as wall coverings, we can use wallpaper, paint walls, wooden panels as a backdrop for a desk and built-in cabinets and wood cabinets for maximum utilization of more space. Color painting one wall with different materials may also be used to avoid the impression of monotonous and boring.

As a sealing material at the ceiling or ceiling, you can use the drop ceiling and the use of indirect lighting so that we can feel more dramatic shades. Use a reading lamp attached to the table or standing lamp would be more useful. Similarly, we can use downlights so much better.

For color selection room, the room should be adjusted with the theme that we want to make. If a minimalist, you should use monochrome colors, either white or grayish, and can be combined with one additional colors like brown, red, or any other color that could certainly dipadupadankan with the contents of the room.

For a classic theme, can use the primary colors like red, orange, or yellow. White can also be used if we do not dare to experiment with color. To color the ceiling, you should use white color to the room was spacious and roomy. If the above matters can not be done, then we are forced to make a space between the integrated office, reading room and library.

Ethnic Style Wooden Furniture

Category: home gardening plant @ 10:49 pm

Luxury and simplicity in occupancy can be created through the types of furniture. Furniture models and materials can also give a different impression in each room.

To obtain the desired impression on a dwelling, the selection of furniture should be appropriate and in accordance with the concept of the building. For tropical minimalist house simple and minimal ornamentation, the right furniture is a practical and functional.

Not promote wealth detail. Natural shades and ethnicities for example, can be obtained through the material of the timber. By ‘soul’ ethnic owned, wood furniture appear increasingly bersahaja.Tidak simply unpretentious, for the sake of a sense of art, many people are looking for wood furniture that has a carved design with a touch of ethnic. The famous carving is carved from the city of Jepara.

Crafts carved from a town in Central Java is famous to many countries. Regarding the type commonly applied to wood filler room furniture, teak, Merbabu, and camphor is usually an option. For typical Jepara carving, although it was expensive, teak is still to be excellent because it is more powerful, durable, and easy not porous.

Teak wood is good with quality teak super 1, 2, and 3. To get a good teak wood, old wood becomes important things worth noting. Is the wood including wood species because of old or young age will affect the appearance of wood furniture that is produced. The reason is, the older the wood going to get better quality. Meanwhile, to see if the wood is old or young can see the diameter of the tree circumference.

If the age old wood, will be out platinanya. Platina is a kind of oil that comes out of the timber and serves to maintain the outer layer of the wood. Now, in addition to visible ethnic and strong, if you want to create teak furniture looks more luxurious with a glossy display can be used ambalo – a kind of tree sap that is processed – to create so much red wood color.

However, today, to make it shiny teak furniture can be coated with melamine. With melamine, other than teak wood furniture becomes more shiny, also makes you more durable furniture. Strengthening ethnic nuances in residential, wood materials are often used as a main ingredient. In fact, the selection of wood furniture which is aligned with other accessories to make housing more space forming berestetika.

As a companion accessory for wooden furniture, you can add a traditional form of batik cloth fabric or woven fabric, put kelambudi wooden bed, or accessory ‘smell’ other nature, such as the masks on the wall. Effect of yellow light from the bulb can be presented to give the feel of ethnicity, who want to present.

Regarding maintenance, ethnic-style wooden furniture is more difficult because it has a lot of detail and dent carvings and ornaments that have the potential to be a place of dust.

To clean, use a dry brush with a thickness and hardness that is sufficient to raise dust on the carving. However, charm is more charismatic ethnic wooden furniture in the residence, is not it?

Home Grown Concept

Category: home gardening plant @ 12:02 pm

Limited land to make some people think shelter mengonsep them with home grown style. What kind of details?

Home grown architecture means that the building could have evolved or have additional space. There are two kinds of development, ie grow upwards or sideways.

Growing up means, we will build another floor on top of existing buildings. Usually for a limited land area. There is no other way except to build upwards. While growing to the side, meaning the ground that we still have ‘rest’ to be built, there perluasan.  No addition to the above because our land is still quite large.

Usually the concept of home grown adjusted to the lifestyle of their owners. Typically also, they feel the need to prepare the home for the next stage. Suppose that because there are estimates of family members increases or limited land. The concept is basically whatever the house is to be comfortable and functional occupancy.

However, in terms of architecture, home grown require “handling” is different. For example, in terms of construction. This is important especially if the home conceptualized to grow upwards.

The structure is not only a foundation that must be prepared to receive the load of the whole building is planned to be developed. For example, if we plan to create two-storey house, but the new one first floor is level, then we create a foundation, columns, and beams that support for the two since we first floor building.

While for the house to grow sideways, it’s worth considering the space plan. At the core housing, the need for major ruangruang priority. Such as for the living room, family room, enough room, bathroom, and kitchen. Spatial layout also needs to be designed as such. For example planning where stairs, toilets, parks, reservoir, and so forth.

In this case, the initial design factors are critical. After a core house is built, then the next house development can be done. If the remaining land is still quite large, can be used temporarily for the park. Outside view is very important. Raul Renanda suggested that the budget for outside larger exterior.

Make your home exterior is simple, powerful, and does not leak. Someday when there are more funds, the elements of “decoration” can we fix the exterior and slicked up. Different home grown “half-finished house.”

In addition to its exterior, the interior also needs to be addressed. However, the principle is appropriate. The concept could follow the concept of growing interior exterior. In a sense, more flexible interior space, can be replaced, modified, and styled with ease. Interior interior home grown just like a regular house. Can be adjusted with the function of existing space. For example the living room filled with furniture for sitting, reading, and so forth.

Saving Energy with Green Architecture

Category: home gardening plant @ 11:41 am

Alignment of human life and nature is summarized in the concept of green architecture. Concepts that are being promoted in the life of modern man.

Green architecture is an approach to building that can minimize a variety of harmful effects on human health and the environment. Green architecture includes more than a building.

In its planning, should include the main environmental sustainability. For a basic understanding of green architecture (green architecture) that is sustainable, including landscapes, interiors, and in terms of architecture into a single entity.

In a rough calculation, if the house is a spacious 150 square meters, with the use of land for the building is 100 square meters, then the remaining 50 meters of green land should be fulfilled by empowering potential around. Nirwono example, the concept of empowerment roof and green roof garden wall. Wall rather than concrete or natural stone, but can be overgrown with vines. In addition, our ultimate goal is to create an eco green architectural design, eco-friendly architecture, architectural, natural and sustainable development.

Green architecture is practiced by increasing the efficiency of energy use, water, and materials, reducing building impacts on health through the layout, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings.

Mathematically stated, the consumption of 300 liters of water must be restored fully to the ground. For example, vegetable washing waste water can be used to wash the car. Or make absorption wells and biopori.

In terms of aesthetics, green architecture lies in the philosophy of designing buildings in harmony with nature and natural resources around them. Use building materials that are developed from natural materials and renewable building materials.

Utilizing renewable sources such as using sunlight through passive solar and active solar, and photovoltaic techniques using plants and trees through green roofs and rain gardens.

The concept of green architecture strongly supports energy conservation programs. Tropical-style house with lots of openings, formed to reduce the use of AC is also enlightening. However, it will not run smoothly if the surrounding houses are not beautiful. Aperture a lot of hot air will only enter and make their owners to install air-conditioning equipment.

Garden and yard in green architecture also does not just pay attention to aesthetics. With the food crisis, the idea could be a pharmacy roof garden or vegetable garden of life. No time anymore to make the park in terms of aesthetics alone. Vegetable Crops arranged as neat as possible, and then consumed by the owner. Some plants that are suitable for roof garden is a betel leaf, pandan vegetables, kale, and others.

People talk of green concept, but not jelly around with. Energy crisis arising out of human weaknesses in meeting the needs. Human awaiting the arrival of foodstuffs from outside the city. Tomato vegetable can be planted in the yard, not be the first choice. Prefer to wait for trucks carrying vegetables from out of town. Just think, how much energy is wasted.

A German company launched the product in environmentally friendly bricks. In fact, the product was not so friendly environment if the sea should be taken by boat out of Germany. We should be able to use the brick itself, with cost and less energy waste opportunities. Indonesian original building structure is already implementing the principles of green architecture.

In terms of interior design, green architecture requires the decor and furniture do not need too much, better sanitary ware, kitchen clean, energy efficient design, ease of clean water, area and number of spaces according to needs, quality building materials and construction is stronger, as well as water channels. To handle the waste bin, biopori hole can be a solution.
