Lighting is one of the most important aspects when comes to decorating your home. It can be an enhancement to all of the other items that are within the room or it can be detrimental to them as well. So it's important to spend some time to research a little bit as to what type of lighting is going to work best in the room that you're decorating.

One of the things you need to take into account when you're choosing your lighting is the materials of the lighting fixtures themselves. There is a variety to choose from but many people are starting to lean towards aluminum lighting parts because they're finding that the plastic parts just don't last.

Style is something that you are going to have to give a quick consideration to as well for example do you want lamps, sconces, chandeliers or even lanterns. These are just a very few of what's available to you when it comes to choices of lighting fixtures.

Smart use of space in a master bath

2010-02-15T12:54:00.000-08:00

To remodel during the 1970s we would combined two closets to create a master bathroom . In a recent remodels, the homeowners are seeking to update the bathroom’s cabinetry and fittings to create a retreat tailored to their lifestyle.
Most couples are willing to give up the master bath’s tub for a luxury shower — having a tub in another bathroom for their guest or young children. DFW Interiors says that, when removing a tub — even if it’s the only bathtub in the house — most of there clients are remodeling for their lifestyle and that resale value is less of a concern. DFW Interiors also points out that replacing the tub with a shower increases the standing space. It’s almost double that of a curved and contoured tub. With their overlapping morning routines, the owners are wanting two sinks in their master bathroom. Adding a linen cabinet to match your vanity will give that extra storage

FYI History of the bathroom

2010-01-29T13:00:00.000-08:00

More than two thousand years ago, the Ancient Greeks had bathrooms not so different from what we enjoy today. They had tubs that were shaped very much like what ours are today with drains for the water to run out down through the floor. The underground pipes were probably made of clay with one end flared to accept the smaller end of the next section. Glass was invented by the ancient Egyptians and the use of glazed tiles on floors and walls of bathrooms started in the Middle East so these may well have been acquired by the Greeks in the times before the birth of Christ. It appears from the shape of tubs discovered by archeologists that the Greeks sat erect in their tubs following the advice of Hippocrates who believed sitting was more healthful than lying back as we do in our modern bathrooms today. While the public baths in ancient Greece offered both hot and cold showers as well, hot water was considered more for a woman than for a man. But when stopping for the night after traveling a man could enjoy having a beautiful slave girl scrape his skin with an iron tool to remove dirt and sweat. Although using a loofah can achieve the same results and is probably more politically correct. In any case we have to give a lot of credit to the Greeks so many centuries ago who gave us the foundations for the bathrooms we take for granted every day.

7 Tips to Brainstorming

2010-01-27T14:27:00.000-08:00

Some people are natural-born brainstormers, and some people are not. If you’re one of those who are not, I know how you feel. It can be tough. Luckily I have some tips that have been given to me over the years to make for more productive brainstorming.

1.Start by throwing out the craziest, most far-fetched ideas. They may not be as crazy as you think.
2.Talk your business issues through with people who know little or nothing about your business. You’ll get a fresh perspective.
3.When brainstorming with others, emphasize the notion that no idea is a bad idea.
4.Try Googling random/weird words or phrases that may only be slightly relevant. It will help get the juices flowing.
5.If you’re stuck in the middle of a brainstorming session, walk away and do something completely unrelated. It will allow you to free your mind and come back refreshed.
6.Don’t just stop when you think you’ve come up with the right idea/solution. Keep going until you’ve exhausted every avenue. The best may be yet to come.
7.Don’t worry about evaluating a single idea until later. Brainstorming time is just for throwing out ideas.

2010-01-26T14:23:00.000-08:00

Everyone knows that the kitchen and bathroom are the first rooms that potential home buyers look into, and renovations made to these rooms will provide the largest return on investment. When interested buyers see an elegant bathroom vanity in a clean, modern and updated home, it can have a very influential affect. Before purchasing a bathroom vanity it is important to carefully measure the space that is available so you can find the vanity that will fit appropriately without being too big or too small. In addition to size, it is also important to carefully choose the style of the vanity. Always consider the interior design and architecture throughout the home, as well as the décor of the bathroom. The vanity should be an eye catching centerpiece that adds value to the home; it should not stand out like a sore thumb.

When auditioning colors for your powder room, beige, tan and sand need not apply. Bold hues like merlot, navy, chocolate and even black work well with DFW Interiors Bathroom Vanities. Although conventional decorating wisdom suggests that lighter colors make a small room feel bigger, there's no need for visual tricks here. Embrace the room's small size and go for drama instead. "I love the idea of creating a jewel box. A bathroom doesn't have to be big to be effective.
