The Spring Colours Of 2012

February 24th, 2012 by admin 0

Spring is just around the corner so it’s time to throw out all your winter design ideas, and start creating some awe-inspiring spring ones. To do this, you need to know what’s trending. I’ve been searching the web, and have found some of 2012’s spring colours along with how they can be used in interior design.

The number one colour this spring will be yellow. I doubt this comes as much of a surprise to many of you, as yellow is associated with spring, but it isn’t a pastel yellow or dark yellow this year, but a nice bright daffodil yellow.

Yellow is closely followed by fuchsia. There will be some colour combos that are trending discussed later on, but yellow and fuchsia isn’t one of them. You will have to decide between them. They are, however, both being used in a similar manner, which is combined with a white surrounding. Both colours jump out at the spectator when used in accessories such as cushions, rugs, curtains, lamp shades, vases, and even bedding.

Carrying on this bold and bright colour trend is tango orange, 2012’s most trending colour. It is being used in a completely different way. The accessories remain the same,spring decor but the colour combination is different. Tango orange is most commonly being combined with teal, as these shades contrast each other and thereby complement each other. Teal is being used as the supporting colour, so expect to see teal coloured walls with leather tango orange chairs as the main feature.

A bit of a surprise this spring is the use of pale brown tones. They are very popular in stripes and as a supporting colour for green shades. Despite the fact that they would fit well with olive, olive is completely out this spring, and in its place is a rather unusual though very daring lime green. This shade of green is being combined with brown and yellow, but never all three in the same setting, at least not this year. As mentioned above fuchsia is also part of some of the colour combinations, but when it is not the sole colour combined simply with white, different shades of lilac are used to support this colour.

Often bright and bold colours are an interior design style in their own right, but this spring the colours are seeping into other styles, so expect to see some bright yellow features sneak into the minimalistic style of interior design. Vintage will play a very big role this spring, especially when it comes to using the lilac shades. I wouldn’t be surprised to see branded wooden crates painted lilac, but with only a thin layer of paint so that the pattern of the wood, and, of course, the brand is still visible.

With these colours your interior design creations will not only be very daring but also rather risky, as the wrong colour combination or even too much colour could destroy your whole vision. But don’t be afraid of some trial and error with these colours, and remember the trend of vintage. You needn’t create a room revolving around this style, but some vintage accessories could add the ‘wow’ factor to your design.

Your garden is one of the best assets you have as a home owner. Your outdoor space can be turned into another room, especially if you design your garden in a practical way, and time spent outside in the summer months is invaluable. With modern garden design allowing you to have a well-designed space, which is easy to maintain and build, there is no excuse to have a messy, unusable space. Here are just a few of the ways you can turn your garden disaster into an outdoor paradise.

Decking is a great way to make the most of your space. As it is easy to maintain, build and keep up, you can entertain, sunbath and bask to your heart’s content. By adding a few potted plants or even a bedding box you have the perfect place to hold a party in the summer. You could even add a few fairy lights to give it that certain je ne sais quoi. Outdoor furniture is a must, especially if you are going to be holding dinner parties. By purchasing just a few chairs and even a table, you can fully utilise this space in the summer months.

Designing a space which is usable in both the summer and winter months is a little trickier. If you have plants in your garden then it is important to mix perennials with evergreen plants and late blooming shrubs (like Heather and Hydrangeas). By doing this you can make the most of your garden throughout the year. You should also scatter bird feeders around the space, as this will attract wildlife. Then you will be able to watch your garden come to life, even in the dullest months.

Your garden is not just a space, it can be another room, so don’t neglect it any longer!

If the wood is back in force in the house after being left aside in favor of more materials design, the ideas still abound. To help bring the wood in your home for a warm & elegant impression, here are some mistakes to avoid.

Wood does not necessarily give a rustic.
If before the wooden furniture was solid oak in a very dark color giving a rustic appearance to the kitchen or dining room, now there are other alternatives! There are many wood species to match each style. For example, to create a trendy scandinavian atmosphere, You can build on a very light wood and a very natural style, You will focus instead on the bamboo.

Wood is not only intended to exotic atmospheres
wood decoration.
If you also believe that wood is only suitable for exotic atmospheres, it is a mistake. Moreover, if the exotic wood such as wenge is still used nowadays prefers species much clearer. But know that the wenge and ipe also work very well in a contemporary interior design or, if they combine sleek furniture. Indeed, the exotic atmosphere comes not only gasoline but also the type of furniture you choose.

Avoid the total wood look
While the wood immediately warms the atmosphere of a house, do not mean to abuse it. Avoid then the total look floors, walls and wooden furniture unless you want to bring a warm cottage or log cabin to your home. Some furniture and a nice floor are enough to make the room nice and warm without loading it. Note that more wood will be darker and it will be present in your home.

Do not mix wood species
To create harmony within your home, you should choose wood species in line with each other. Then make sure to give some unity and do not choose the colors are too different for each piece of furniture or the floor. We will not mix eg solid oak furniture to other exotic wood with a light wood floor.

The wood is not only in furniture
Finally, know that to bring the wood in your home, there is not that the floor and furniture. You can also use decorative objects made of wood that are very trendy right now. The wooden cutting boards are displayed, the clocks are dressed as wood and wooden fruit baskets reminiscent of nature for a cozy interior that goes back to basics.

A guide to memory foam

February 9th, 2012 by admin 0

Although many people have heard of memory foam, not everyone is entirely familiar with what the product actually is. Would you recognise that memory foam is a visco elastic substance, for example, and did you know that it was originally manufactured for use by NASA?

Since the early 1990s, memory foam has been a huge hit in the bedding department, not only for the personal comfort it provides, but also for its brilliant orthopaedic and medical benefits. Although not everyone has embraced the memory foam mattress just yet, it is predicted that within several years memory foam mattresses will have replaced traditional mattresses altogether.

The unique open cell structure of the memory foam material reacts directly to the heat and weight of your body. When you lie down on it, it moulds itself around the curves and shape of your body, creating a cosy you-shaped nest for you to rest in.

This is beneficial because it means that your weight is distributed totally evenly throughout your body, eliminating thememory foam pressure points that usually exist when you are lying down on a harder surface. On a traditional mattress, only certain parts of your body are in contact with the mattress™ surface, and these become uncomfortable pressure points. Memory foam gets rid of these and therefore provides more support and comfort for your body.

Often recommended by GPs as an aid for recurring back ache, memory foam mattresses have also been used in hospital to aid with conditions such as pressure sores. However, these mattresses have become increasingly popular for use by the general public, and even if you are not suffering any kind of joint or back pain, sleeping on a double memory foam topper can reduce the chances of such conditions later in life. It will also help you get a good night’s sleep, which provides a range of other health benefits.
