And to this day are produced and sold, albeit for fabulous sum of £ 178.25 – £ 208.15. But it is with good products – remain valid, increasing its price and retain the memory of its founder after his death. I would not say that this looks super for me, but is original and funny.

Definitely the Ball Clock was inspired by the types Skate Study House, because they are created creations of the photos below.

Neither House can not pass without chairs. But whether for the kitchen or living room for the nursery, where they purchase must be observed unity of style. In all cases, the chairs must be sustainable. So avoid folding, which can gorse hands of kids, and wicker-work, which have thin legs and are therefore unsustainable. For the nursery and the kitchen is good to prefer chairs with square legs and a profile with a lower seat. To keep longer, you sew them yourself cases, but beware “clothes” of the chairs to harmonize with the interior. Moreover, cases which are attached by means of links, can cover the whole seat or just the lower half – the seat and legs. Try it in his new role as a home designer. Periodically change the covers and cut them diversify.

In the 21 century the house became a refuge from the busy and frenetic world outside, and it should be. Magazines tell us to be calm, kind and not clogging your house with furniture. It is easy to try to the image of the perfect modern interior with lots of empty space, but it is difficult to create for themselves, especially in a small house.
The opening of furniture to fit a small home can seem a big problem. Although it is relatively easy to cancel nonessential items (after all, who needs Chinese furniture), we need only the most – the objects, but even so, this seems an impossible task in a small space. So, what can we do? Most – best advice is to carefully consider what we need to consider all alternatives. You can find an object which can solve the problem with space for you (cot or stool, which is turned into pulp. You can opt out of the chair and to stand on the floor. Lateral thinking in different directions in furnishing your home, you may be able to create a functional interior and cozy without being cluttered with furniture.
Keep them LOW
Using low horizontal furniture will make the interior look – large, a phenomenon that Japanese experts in small spaces used very successfully with its low tables and tatami beds. Putting furniture floor level not only clears the eye (so the room looks like – big), but also increases and the distance between the occupants and the ceiling. Also putting pillows on the floor, on benches – lower than a dining table and armchairs, and will free up space at the same time cut the angle of living.
Multiple ARTICLES
If you choose to invest in moving furniture, try to select appropriate items that can perform two or more functions. Choose a dining table, which could also be the office, in which the stool can be stored things, a library which separates two spaces difference in one room.
FURNITURE STORAGE
There is furniture that are specialized for storage, such as wardrobes, chests, cabinets, etc., but other items can be adapted for storage of your belongings. Hollow armrest of the sofa can be made to keep the CD or DVD, the underside of the dining table can be placed close to cutlery, the bottom of the bed can be adapted for storage of blankets and sheets. With a little lateral thinking you can make usable space in invisible your furniture and keep your interior with furniture from overcharge.
TRANSPARENT FURNITURE
In small spaces, it is necessary to have your furniture as soon as – less intrusive. Choose a design that does not block light or at least does not create a large shadow. Choose furniture with mirrors. This will increase not only light, but space will look like – great.
Little THINGS
Display of small things can have big impact in small spaces, if you choose these items carefully, they do not have to be good. Inserting collection of switches on the wall, for example, or a series of small paintings.

Clock showing electricity usage with style

Viliyana Filipova — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:17:30 +0000

I do not like shiny new products, making it simple things and then with a super high price. But this Energy Aware Clock clock seems super good idea. There are things that the west people really think without overshoot. There began a new fashion in the reporting of energy consumption at home. There are people who monitor their consumption of electricity. And certainly there are those who do something to reduce it. It’s more accurate tracking than a simple electro-meter. Aids are used to show when and what exactly is being consumed. Here are things to be introduced new design ideas and products. Such as to attract more people. At the same time to enjoy the pleasure and ease. Not just to show character, in most cases difficult to understand for ordinary people. That is such a product is watch EA Clock. It shows precisely and clearly the consumption of electricity in the house at any hour of the day in a stylish manner.
The idea is simple – the information is displayed at the 24 hour scale, which “switches” are bigger, the greater is the consumption of electricity! And everything is beautiful and simple. It is not known yet what will be the price of the watch, but whatever is there will be people. which will afford it. I do not know, perhaps it would be for people with money. Interestingly, sometimes pay attention to such things as saving rather than people of my rug. Beautiful part of the product like this is that children’s attention to himself with interesting design, and hence to an important problem.
