On the contrary, it would be a serious mistake! In fact, it ‘s important to invest in quality to make things last a long time . And, as a general rule (but not always) quality comes at a premium. Consider, however, that the object or piece of furniture <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/"><strong>make in your home</strong></a> that you will not have to replace every year will necessarily cost you less in the end than the one that will break quickly. “More expensive is less expensive!” »</p><h2>Invest in objects used several times a day</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The faucets are my priority. I know something about it because I had the misfortune to buy as a new owner all my plumbing in the cheap ranges of the renovation centers. 10 years later, I have changed EVERYTHING. So I paid for everything twice. In my bathroom, I did not repeat this mistake and bought a thermostatic mixer tapwith a chrome finish. Find out more about the various models available on the market and turn to manufacturers who guarantee their faucets for life, cartridge as well as finished. For example, a very good saving tip was given to me by Isabelle Levac, the owner of Espace Plomberie Duo. I bought a shower set for the outdoors (while it is absolutely perfect for the indoors too). It is less expensive, at $268 (the model on the right in the photo) and manufactured by the best Quebec company on the market, Riobel, which guarantees its faucets for life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As a general rule, buying your plumbing (and bathroom hardware like shower doors) from a reputable company that has good customer service and long warranties will save you a lot of money and hassle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The toilet is another item worth investing in. In fact, a high-efficiency toilet saves more water than other toilets. It is important to check that it has a flush that works well with no more than 4.8 L of water and that it offers good flushing power. The quality of the porcelain also means that your toilet will also last longer. I had bought a cheap one at a renovation center and it ended up being porous and dirty all the time. I have now found the perfect model. Review how to choose a good toilet .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cookware, pots and pans are also part of the essential big expenses. A good skillet can cost $100 or more. Buy them as you go so they last you years instead of replacing them every 3 years.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The sofa is the piece of furniture in the living room that should be your biggest investment. Choose a quality fabric or leather, if possible a classic style and neutral colors that will last you for years and adapt to your changing tastes. Don’t make the mistake I made of buying a white suede couch when I have 2 boys who jump on it all day with their dirty hands. I still found a recipe to detach sofa that I show you here.</p><h2>Invest in objects or furniture that could affect our health</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to the objects and furniture that we often handle, it is essential to invest in those that have a direct impact on our health.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The mattress is obviously at the top of the list, considering that we spend about a third of our lives sleeping. So before thinking about decorating your bedroom, invest in a good mattress. Whether spring, foam or latex, you will benefit from trying several and learning about its components. At home I opted for a latex mattress and it was day and night with my previous spring mattress.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The office chair is often not very “glamorous” as a decorative element, yet it is an essential investment…for your back! In Quebec, you will find at Ugoburo or at Bluecony chairs that are certainly expensive, but ergonomic. At home, I finally opted for a Swedish seat and I tell you that it saved my life! (psst…I bought it second hand on Kijiji, and you can see it here in my office, which doesn’t look like Pinterest in real life )</p><h2>Look for quality in simple design</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">So that quality does not rhyme with exorbitant prices, it is sometimes enough to turn to models with a simpler design. It applies to just about everything. The more options, original colors and special finishes a piece of furniture or object has, the more you will pay for it. A simple model will allow you to get quality at a good price.</p><h2>Invest in things you might want to pass on</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are certain that this piece could still be in the house or in the family in 50 years, then it is worth spending more money to acquire it. It’s a theory that I made up a bit but which I find works well when the time comes to ask the question: should I spend the money to buy it or not?</p><h2>Prioritize investing in the structural elements of your home</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">This could have been my number one point as it is so important, except that not everyone is lucky enough to own a home. If you are a happy owner, here are the places where you should put your money in priority…. before even thinking about decorating! You should never skimp on work related to:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Neglecting to maintain these elements could have repercussions with unfortunate financial consequences (water damage, air leaks, etc.) and harm the value of your property!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">At home, we had the brick of the entire facade rejoined in order to preserve the deterioration of the exterior facing. The front door was also changed several years ago. Big expenses!</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/what-are-good-investments-to-make-in-your-home/" target="_blank">What are good investments to make in your home?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/" target="_blank">https://homeinteriorsnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/what-are-good-investments-to-make-in-your-home/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to choose an economical, beautiful and efficient toilet?</title> <link>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-choose-an-economical-beautiful-and-efficient-toilet/</link> <comments>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-choose-an-economical-beautiful-and-efficient-toilet/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 10:30:16 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bathroom]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeinteriorsnews.com/?p=37</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>203 ViewsIn this blog post, I will talk about the choice of a toilet (WC in France) based on my own experience, which until today was a real fiasco.

I have never been satisfied with the 2 toilets bought at a low price in a renovation center. This time, thanks to the partnership with Espace Plomberie Québec , a boutique specializing in plumbing and bathroom items in Quebec, I am looking for the best budget toilet. By economical, I mean affordable but also less water-consuming. Indeed, the toilet is one of the good investments to make in your home . So how do you choose the best toilet?</p><h2>Company reputation</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">If you choose a company that is reputable for manufacturing toilets, you can easily replace parts with their customer service. A certified sanitary appliance (CSA) also guarantees the reputation of the manufacturer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Like faucets, toilets are items used daily in your home and it is better to choose a quality product. I redecorated my bathroom with new ceramic floors, a black wall, a poster of Opposite Wall (offered). See the front piece here</p><h2>Choosing the type of model</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Of these three models, the <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/"><strong>wall-mounted toilet</strong></a> is much more expensive than the others because it must be fixed with a support to the wall and the tank is inserted behind in a partition. That’s why we see little in Quebec, except in complete bathroom renovations or new homes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If the wall-mounted toilet and the one-piece toilet are visually prettier and easier to clean, the favorite of repairers, that is to say plumbers, is the two-piece toilet. Indeed, it is much easier to change a component if necessary.</p><h2>The power of flushing / water saving</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The standard toilets of old used about 13.2 liters of water per flush. Environmental madness! The new toilets do the same job with 4.8 litres.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6L/3L dual flush models have lost their purpose due to improved toilet performance. Manufacturers have increased the diameter of the opening between the tank and the bowl, as well as that of the siphon at the base of the bowl. Result, a more powerful water flow evacuates and cleans much better.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For example, at home I chose a model from the American Standard Studio collection at Espace Plomberie Duo. Thanks to its 2 3/8 in. siphon, the widest in the industry, and its 4 in. flush valve, there is no need for a plunger or to call the plumber to unblock a clogged toilet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To make a good choice: look for WaterSense certified toilets because they use at least 20% less water than traditional models. The MaP program, or Maximum Performance Testing Program , also tests the maximum performance level of toilets. Good toilets should flush over 350g per flush.</p><h2>Porcelain quality</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, what makes a good toilet is the thickness of the lacquer on the porcelain that covers the bowl. It allows waste to flow away without resistance. Over time, poor quality toilets will have a worn enamel and hard-to-clean deposits.</p><h2>Shape, height: aesthetic and space preferences</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">As for the elongated or round shape of the toilet seat, the height of the toilet, these are aesthetic details that do not affect performance. It’s up to you to choose them according to your preferences and your space.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-choose-an-economical-beautiful-and-efficient-toilet/" target="_blank">How to choose an economical, beautiful and efficient toilet?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/" target="_blank">https://homeinteriorsnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-choose-an-economical-beautiful-and-efficient-toilet/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>What are the characteristics of a guest room.?</title> <link>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/what-are-the-characteristics-of-a-guest-room/</link> <comments>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/what-are-the-characteristics-of-a-guest-room/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 09:36:43 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bedroom]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeinteriorsnews.com/?p=31</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>107 ViewsTo know whatcolor choose for your guest room, you must first know its characteristics.

A guest room must therefore be comfortable, warm and practical.</p><h2>A bedroom above all comfortable</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The first quality that a <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/"><strong>guest bedroom</strong></a> must have is a good balance between comfort and practicality. Indeed, it is essential that your guests feel good there.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For example, for the bed and the rest of the bedding, turn to sure values, but not too expensive. It is above all thecomfort that mattersand not the decoration itself.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Generally, your guests will sleep in your guest room after a party or for a weekend. They will not necessarily have time to rave about theroom layout. Hence the interest of going to the simplest.</p><h2>A warm and succinctly furnished place</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Even with few means and simplicity, it is possible tocreate a warm atmospherefor your guests. For this, it may be interesting to furnish your guest room with furniture.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do not overload the room, but an armchair with cushions, a large mirror, a cupboard, a chest of drawers, shelves with books, and why not a pretty headboard , will bring character and an original identity to the room; but without overdoing it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For an even warmer welcome, also rely on authentic materials (wood, linen, wool) and don’t hesitate tobring your personal touch: bouquet of flowers and small attentions will be welcome.</p><h2>A room that can be used for something else</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, a guest room is also a room that can be used for other purposes. In this case, we then speak of aversatile guest bedroom. Generally, this type of room converts into an office when your guests return home.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A screen can be useful to delimit the space, as well as a carpet. But it is above all the choice of color of the 2 spaces that will make it possible to separate your office from the guest room.</p><h2>4 criteria for choosing the color of your guest room</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Do you want to revamp your guest room? We present to you 4 criteria that will allow you tochoose the color of the bedroom wallbest suited to your needs.</p><h2>The style of the room (modern, contemporary, vintage…)</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">As with any living room within a house or apartment, the style you want to create will greatly influence the choice of colors for your walls.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For example, if you wantcreate a zen and natural atmospherefor your guest room, green should predominate. You can combine it with other colors, but it should be the main shade.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For acozy and classic style, white and its shades (cream, light pink, etc.) always look great in a guest room. Do not hesitate to decorate everything, especially the bedding, with bed linen in similar colors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you want amodern guest bedroom, it is on the gray that you must bet. Timeless, it goes well with all the other colors and does not require too much furniture to “dress” a room. On the contrary, it corresponds perfectly to arefined decor, simple and functional. For a guest bedroom with an office, this is the perfect choice.</p><h2>The brightness of the room</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Thenatural lightwill also influence the choice of colors for the paint or the wall covering of your guest room. Indeed, some colors attract light while others tend to darken.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you have a bright guest bedroom, concentrate your efforts on thelight colours. Avoid white which easily gives a clinical and medical effect to a room that is too bright.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">friend bedroom color</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, nothing prevents you from turning to its nuances. Thepastel shades(ivory, pale blue, powder pink…), the satin effects for the materials are perfectly suited for a bright bedroom .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But if you have little natural light. If your guest bedroom is in the attic, for example, it is better to bet on warm colors such as peach or southern coral shades.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/what-are-the-characteristics-of-a-guest-room/" target="_blank">What are the characteristics of a guest room.?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/" target="_blank">https://homeinteriorsnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/what-are-the-characteristics-of-a-guest-room/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to write a good real estate rental ad.?</title> <link>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-write-a-good-real-estate-rental-ad/</link> <comments>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-write-a-good-real-estate-rental-ad/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 08:30:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Real Estate]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeinteriorsnews.com/?p=28</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>100 ViewsYou can choose to delegate its management and marketing or do it yourself.

Are you really going to save time by reducing the size of your ad to a minimum?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">‍To maximize your chances of renting your property quickly AND to the right target , it is important to create an ad that attracts the attention of potential tenants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The more detail you provide, the fewer repetitive questions you will have to answer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The more your ad will be detailed and with beautiful photos, the more serious candidates you will attract.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">‍Here are some tips for creating a real estate rental ad in the best way:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Use relevant keywords in the ad to help your property appear in search results. For example, if your property is located in a popular area of town, use these keywords in the ad to help your property appear in searches for potential tenants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Write a catchy and descriptive title that reflects the benefits of your property. A well-thought-out headline can entice potential tenants to click on your listing to find out more. For example: “Beautiful one-bedroom apartment with a breathtaking view of the city”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Provide accurate and detailed information about your property’s location, features and amenities. Potential tenants want to know exactly what they are going to rent, so be sure to mention all the important details. For example: “Located in the most desirable area of the city, this two-bedroom apartment has an equipped kitchen, a modern bathroom and a large sunny terrace”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Highlight the assets of your property in the ad.Add quality photos of the interior and exterior of your property. Photos are a key part of a real estate listing, so be sure to use a quality camera or smartphone to take crisp, well-lit photos. Potential tenants will want to see what the property looks like before viewing it, so show them the best aspects of your property.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Indicate the rental price of your property in a clear and concise manner. Potential tenants will compare different listings to find the best value, so be sure to quote a price that matches the value of your property. Also specify the terms of the rental (duration of the contract, deposit, guarantees, rent control, etc.).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mention any restrictions related to the rental (unauthorized animals, non-smokers, etc.). If you have any specific restrictions for your property, be sure to mention them in the listing to avoid misunderstandings.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Provide clear and accessible contact information (email address, telephone number, etc.). Prospective tenants are going to want to ask questions or request a visit, so be sure to provide them with easy-to-find contact information. Responding quickly and efficiently to questions and requests from potential tenants is also important to maximize your chances of renting your property quickly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mention the terms of visit. If you are available to arrange visits outside office hours, or if you can accommodate potential tenants on weekends, mention this in the ad to attract more interested parties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mention the information you are requesting for the candidate’s file. We refer you to our article which explains to the rental candidate how to create a good file .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Regularly update the announcement in case of modifications (change in price, availability, etc.). Property listings that stay online for too long can seem outdated, so be sure to update your listing regularly to show that your property is still available.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Publish the advertisement on popular real estate rental platforms adapted to your geographical area. Online platforms like Le Bon Coin, SeLoger and Murani are popular channels for finding potential tenants. Be sure to run your ad on these platforms to maximize your audience.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By following these tips, you can create an effective property rental ad that grabs the attention of potential tenants and helps you get your property up and running quickly.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-write-a-good-real-estate-rental-ad/" target="_blank">How to write a good real estate rental ad.?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/" target="_blank">https://homeinteriorsnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/how-to-write-a-good-real-estate-rental-ad/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Management of tenants, rentals and real estate.?</title> <link>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/management-of-tenants-rentals-and-real-estate/</link> <comments>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/management-of-tenants-rentals-and-real-estate/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 08:24:28 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Real Estate]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeinteriorsnews.com/?p=24</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>124 ViewsProfessional software is often intended for transaction management or communication around your real estate.

However, rental management is an integral part of your job and the related tasks take time. H2i’s Aramis software brings it all together in one package. You can :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In short, this software for real estate agents allows complete and versatile management in all areas of your professional activity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rental leases, inventory of fixtures, rent receipts start from the same base which must then be adapted to each tenant or client. Thus, working with software that offers pre-filled templates seems to us quite interesting to save time. Otherwise, software providing a digital library will help you better organize yourself to easily find your models.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Johanna , the rental management software published by Krier offers simple functionalities to facilitate the daily management of your documents thanks to electronic archiving. Also, you can do bulk mailings, your management accounting, send SMS alerts, etc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The advantage here is as follows: Joanna is part of a suite of <strong><a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/">real estate</a></strong> software to manage all aspects of your business: transactions, trustee, assets, inventory…</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is also the case with ThetraWin from Seiitra, which offers the possibility of detailing all the elements invoiced for each lease (rent excluding tax, VAT, provision, etc.). Thus, it is possible to associate each element with a start date and an end date, a revision index, a frequency, a calculation method (package, %). Finally, ThetraWin makes it possible to manage variable rents, deductibles, levels as well as the history of all invoicing.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Management of inventory</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">And speaking of the inventory, here is another essential function: the management of the procedures for entering and leaving the rental. For this, there are dozens of solutions available from software publishers such as Krier, Seiitra or Gercop, but also more ergonomic applications such as Check & Visit. Thanks to solutions such as the Check & Visit mobile application, the management of your inventory is greatly simplified:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So many features that allow you to modernize, simplify and streamline the procedures related to the inventory at the start and end of the rental contract.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Note that these solutions may or may not synchronize directly with your management software.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Furniture inventory</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">If you offer furnished rentals, the inventory of furniture will be very useful to you. Generally associated with the inventory, the inventory of furniture is a central element for seasonal rentals. It is therefore very important to integrate it into your property management.

Since then, the design of the house has not stopped changing before creating THE plan. Before starting its creation, I had some criteria ( must-have ) in mind to respect.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The other important criteria when <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/"><strong>designing the Reference House</strong></a>? The master bedroom had to be on the ground floor, the top of the garage had to have a children’s room and a small living room, have a window in front of the sink, the dining room had to have cheks (a chek constitutes a unhook in the foundations which adds volumetry in a house, therefore a square house with 4 cheks), and we had to have an isolated office. It all had to be built on a slab!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Why build on a slab?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">It’s simple. Right now, all that’s in my basement here is a bunch of patents and keepsake boxes that could just be stored well in a storage room. Also, a basement increases the costs considerably. The water table on our lot was so high that having a basement would have meant the foundation of the house would have had to be pulled out almost 6′ (something I don’t like). It was clear to us that, from the start, it was a slab.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Sketch of the location of the Reference House</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">After presenting the important points to respect, I can finally tell you about the evolution of the plan! 4 preliminary plans (and several scribbles) were drawn in order to have the right plan!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A first inspiration for the Reference House: preliminary plan #1</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Front facade of preliminary plan #1 of the Reference House</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This first plan is inspired by the Jennifer 3246-V2 plan, a plan I’ve always loved! What I liked about the original plan was the access between the garage, the laundry room, the mudroom and the exterior. It’s very practical and functional in my life as a couple!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Preliminary plan #1</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">I also liked that the master bedroom is on the ground floor and that the top of the garage includes the children’s bedrooms.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, with our ground in point, I said to myself that we should try to reverse the plan. We could also possibly think of building a detached garage. After having been so excited about this plan since my beginnings at Dessins Drummond, I wanted to see what it would be like to try something else!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">A second design that deviates from the goal: preliminary plan #2</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Once reversed as desired, I set about reworking a version that had all the bedrooms on the same floor. In addition, I wanted once again to connect the garage with the locker room and the laundry room. Once the design of the ground floor plan was completed, I was convinced. and this for a long time, that this configuration would be the good one (with about ten versions for this configuration).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">You will have understood that it was finally not the plan of my dreams! What I didn’t like about this version? Everything was getting tighter, because there were 3 bedrooms (4 if you count the office) on the same floor. I also liked less the style that it gave from the outside. After working too much on it, it no longer inspired me. I had strayed too far from my ultimate musts at the start.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">A little background: preliminary plan #3</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Small thing to mention before anything else: there were a lot of rapidos scribbled versions between preliminary plans 2 and 3. I won’t put them here, because it would go on forever, but I wanted to say it!!!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the design of plan 3, I started from scratch again, imagining what of my musts had not been respected in plan #2 (windows in front of the sink, check for the bathroom dining room, laundry room/mudroom/pantry that communicate).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also, I decided to return to my configuration where the garage would be on the left, to be able to benefit even more from the point of the ground. The garage on the right meant that our backyard would have benefited more from the only neighbor we had rather than from the forest. For these reasons, the future detached garage will go to the left of the lot.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the fixes, I hadn’t yet managed to put our dream house on paper.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The real foundations of the House Reference: preliminary plan #4</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Sketch of the 4th version of my house</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The last preliminary plan was filled with changes, but it was worth it! To sum up, plan #4 of the Reference House is an improved version of what annoyed me the most after looking at plan #3.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the one hand, when I said that we had more or less respected the orientation of the sun in the previous article : plan #4 is part of it. Indeed, I had put the terrace of plan #3 on the right to take advantage of the sun, but in the end, this decision meant that the terrace could not be as large and that it would fall on the large window of the bathroom (a little awkward to take a bath)! Also, it meant that we fell with a hole on the other side of the check in the dining room when that is where the “outdoor living ” was going to happen: the future swimming pool, a small outdoor set-up, etc.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/the-design-of-the-house-reference/" target="_blank">The design of the House Reference.?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/" target="_blank">https://homeinteriorsnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/the-design-of-the-house-reference/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Deco & trends 2021 what’s in and what’s out.?</title> <link>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/deco-trends-2021-whats-in-and-whats-out/</link> <comments>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/deco-trends-2021-whats-in-and-whats-out/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2023 11:53:21 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Decoration]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeinteriorsnews.com/?p=18</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>114 ViewsA few years ago, wallpapers made a comeback.

Sometimes more graphic, sometimes very colorful or sometimes discreet, they adapt to all decors and give character where they are placed. They are often used as an accent wall, then positioned only on a wall or part of a wall, thus making it possible to delimit or enhance a space. Some even use it as a headboard or to separate the dining area from the rest of the living room.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A new trend that stems from the use of wallpaper is large format printing. This technique is also used as an accent in a room and allows you to literally draw a fresco on the chosen support. The advantage of large format printing over wallpaper is that it is possible to reproduce an infinite variety of patterns or images, without repeating patterns like wallpapers. The print gives the perfect illusion that an artist has come to your home to draw!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Large format printing can be done on any medium: paper, wood, concrete, Plexiglas… Endless <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/w"><strong>decorative</strong></a> possibilities are now available to us. It’s a more architectural way of looking at decor, adding texture, design or pattern. Still not widespread, large format printing is growing. We find it more and more in the decorations of our customers. The multitude of possible supports makes large format printing a companion of choice in various design projects, whether it is, among other things, an accent wall, a backsplash or a fireplace.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">OUT in 2021 – Chimney hoods</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Kitchen trends are certainly the fastest changing. In just a few years, lifestyle habits have turned classic designs upside down: new trends are born while others die. And chimney hoods are part of this last category!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Still widely used in some more traditional designs, chimney hoods are losing their appeal in more contemporary designs despite being very fashionable a few years ago. At that time, appliances, whether refrigerators, stoves or hoods, were highlighted in kitchens. Nowadays, all rooms, including the kitchen, are adopting the more minimalist trend. The appliances are therefore hidden behind the cabinet doors, as far as possible. This is the case of refrigerators and hoods, in particular. This camouflage helps keep the room looking clean, unified and easier on the eyes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, with the opening of the kitchens on the living room, the styles in the kitchen have changed enormously. It is necessary to purify the kitchens when they are visible from the living room. Otherwise, the risk is to give an impression of disorder.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">According to Valérie de L’Etoile Interior Design</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">In this time of uncertainty, it’s no surprise that we’re looking for comfort, especially in indoor living spaces where we’re spending even more time than normal. For some time now, we have seen a return to basics and basic elements.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This trend is particularly evident in the choice of materials which, if not used raw, will be dyed to give the impression that they are natural pigments.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore the return of linen and cotton, sisal, (almost) bare wood, rattan and caning. Some materials such as natural stone and metals are treated very little to let time do its work and create a beautiful patina.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If we prefer certain less natural materials for their practicality and ease of maintenance, we make sure that they are as similar as possible to what they are trying to imitate!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the same vein, materials that attempt to mimic a natural product but fail to do so are completely out of date. For example, it is better to avoid wallpapers that imitate brick or stone.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">the same goes for colors that are too far from the original and that would not be found in nature, such as wooden floors in cold colors such as grey.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We refrain from using materials that look like plastic, especially in fabrics such as leatherettes or fake plants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Basically, it is better to wait to have the means to install the product of your dreams rather than using a pale reproduction!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">That’s it, it’s about time! Grey, concrete and stainless steel are now behind us. For a few years now, the transition to beige has begun by seeing the gray turn into greige; a step towards what will become the new neutral.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore this year that beige takes on its full potential and that it will be adopted as much for accessories, coloring or even textiles.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While beige is often integrated into tone-on-tone interior spaces, the key to the success of a soft decor imposed by this light shade will be to create a gradient giving way to varied textures and intensities. All of a sudden, the warmth of beige is reflected and creates rich and enveloping decors loved by everyone, whether you are more boho or contemporary.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, several naturally beige materials are popular at the moment. For example, gather linen draperies, one with a few pampas grasses, a wool rug, terracotta tiles and canework furniture in your decor and you will be right on target.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Totally adored for its rich and velvety effect, beige will also be the best ally of basic accents such as white or black. Once these two neutral colors are brought together, the contrast created will make the beige shine while balancing it.</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/deco-trends-2021-whats-in-and-whats-out/" target="_blank">Deco & trends 2021 what's in and what's out.?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/" target="_blank">https://homeinteriorsnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/deco-trends-2021-whats-in-and-whats-out/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>12 trends in architecture and construction for 2022.?</title> <link>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/12-trends-in-architecture-and-construction-for-2022/</link> <comments>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/12-trends-in-architecture-and-construction-for-2022/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2023 11:47:39 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Construction]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://homeinteriorsnews.com/?p=15</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>114 ViewsWe are witnessing the blurring of boundaries between urban and rural areas, a heightened awareness of the fact that primary resources are limited, shortages in supply chains and the growth of investment budgets.

These are the beginnings of the year 2022 that influence the <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/"><strong>architecture and construction</strong></a> of built spaces in the medium and long term, according to research conducted by Studio ae.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“It depends on the ability of society and architects to take the necessary measures now for a sustainable future. It is important that the perspective is oriented towards the quality of spaces in the long term and that we allocate the necessary resources” said Elena Ștefănescu, architect, co-founder of Studio ae – architecture & evolution. Thus, the efforts of architects to cope with climate change become demanding from projection to execution and maintenance”, underlines the co-founder of Studio ae – architecture & evolution.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1 | The blurring of the border between urban and rural</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">People want increasingly safer, cleaner and greener environments in cities, suburbs and rural areas. Suburban and rural communities offer proximity to nature, larger lots and housing, greener landscapes, thus attracting families from the metropolitan area. Especially since the number of those who want or have to work from home is still high. Thus, available space, nature and sustainable communities increasingly matter in the decision to build or choose a home in a certain area.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Over the past two years, I have noticed in Bucharest a major movement of investments towards the Ilfov district, where Studio ae is currently working on several residential projects. Practically, a new residential “ring” is being built and developed around Bucharest. Projects are under development in Corbeanca, Snagov, Otopeni, Brănești, Cernica, Domnești and Berceni. However, infrastructure development for roads, including sidewalks, and utility connections is also very important. And, to obtain quality housing, it is necessary to take into account the need to have schools, parks and public spaces, leisure functions and commerce.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, the landscape of many villages and towns around large cities will become industrial, with large logistics centers changing the visible and invisible structure of the community. Until the end of 2022, it is estimated that 1 million m² will be built in the logistics area, concentrated around major cities such as Bucharest, Cluj, Timișoara, Oradea and Sibiu.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2 | Buildings become more “green”</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Terms used more and more often and partially overlapping as a definition such as sustainable, durable, passive, low energy, ecological, green buildings, NZEB, etc., essentially sum up society’s concern for the protection of the environment and the way we build and live.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Green” or “sustainable” architecture has also evolved in Romania in recent years. Sustainable architecture aims to create healthy, bright houses, adapted to the needs of users, flexible over time, which also contribute to the quality of public spaces. A main aspect is the reduction of the negative impact of the built environment on the long-term environment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Architects’ efforts to cope with climate change are becoming pressing from planning to execution and maintenance. For example, a sustainable building material is wood, which brings many health benefits and the concept of well-being. Wood has been and continues to be an extremely popular green building material as it is considered renewable, having been used for thousands of years.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Currently, Studio ae is in the projection phase of several buildings that wish to be certified to the passive house standard and which are on a timber frame or Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) type structure.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3| Increase in execution budgets</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">At the beginning of 2021, when the Nearly Zero Energy Building standard, NzEB, came into force, the subject was mainly discussed by architects and engineers. With the increase in the prices of building materials, first to wood and metal, then to energy, the theme is felt by all of society. These price increases have generated increases in investment budgets in 2021, sometimes by 20 to 25%, depending on the stage of execution work. The increase in the price of electrical energy is a contributing factor to the increase in the operating costs of a building over time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Including for buildings intended for retail, maintenance costs will be affected by these successive increases.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4| We realize that primary resources are limited</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">There is a growing awareness that primary resources, including land and water, are finite and influence the way we build. We have noticed a growing preference for the use of quality materials for thermal and sound insulation, heat recovery systems, photovoltaic panels, respectively solar, heat pumps. These will result in long-term savings and benefits for the environment and happier users.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5| We bring nature close to home</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">This need has intensified since 2020 against the backdrop of pandemic limitations on staying at home as long as possible. The connection with nature goes through large windows, the use of as much natural light as possible, the development of exterior and interior gardens, patio-type courtyards, terrarium-type greenhouses, plant walls, and where it is not not possible, the growth of plants and shrubs in pots.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Natural materials and textures are increasingly used in interior finishes and decorations in light “earth” and “natural” tones.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">6| Minimalism versus maximalism</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Minimalist architecture has also become a more popular architectural trend in Romania too. This style of architectural design that emerged more than 100 years ago continues to be a valid response to today’s increasingly information-ridden society. Simplicity balances the complexity of everyday life. Minimalism is distinguished above all by the materials used to build, the offer of simple, calm perspectives that do not weigh down our eyes. Natural light plays an essential role. The focus will move away from small, undersized spaces in classic blocks to spaces that are more flexible over time and responsive to current</p><p>The post <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/12-trends-in-architecture-and-construction-for-2022/" target="_blank">12 trends in architecture and construction for 2022.?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://homeinteriorsnews.com/" target="_blank">https://homeinteriorsnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://homeinteriorsnews.com/12-trends-in-architecture-and-construction-for-2022/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss>
