Understanding Light.........

As our eyes are always drawn to the brightest point, we can use light to make a small space appear larger.This also means that a well-positioned light.



Using reflection.
when deciding what kind of light to use and where to put it, remember that light travels in a straight line.If you want even, shadow- free light  .eg home office-use a wall-mounted uplight or a concealed light on top of a high unit.This light will rise upwards and reflect off the ceiling,creating diffused light.


The importance of shadow.
Shadow and shade are just as important as the light in a successfully lit interior. sometime it is important to have an even illumination,such as in an office space.However, atmosphere and mood are built by placing light source throughout a space-in other words,positioning them where they are needed to draw the eye around the room.


Light and mood.
Remember that we respond to light  in an emotion way. Some forms of light can make you feel comfortable and cosy-for instance,lamp light in a living room - or active and vibrant,as in a brightly lit kitchen.If in doubt about how to tackle lighting in a particular space,ask yourself  how you want people to feel when they are in that room.

Tips on how to choose Exterior Colors for your house/office

Tour the Neighborhood

As you prepare to choose colors for an exterior painting project, tour neighborhoods and note which colors catch your eye. Pay particular attention to homes that are similar in architectural style to your own.

Fitting In

Consider the context of your home and aim to blend in. If all the houses are white and you want a darker house, you're better off with a midtone instead of a dark color. Use bolder strokes of color on smaller elements, like the front door or shutters. Harmony is more important where houses are close together. In neighborhoods with spacious lots or visual buffers of foliage, paint schemes can be more personalized.

Landscaping Cues

Take color cues from your landscaping. A house surrounded by woodlands may look out of place painted in pastels, but natural in earth tones. Sunbelt houses can wear bright colors; in a cold climate, bright shades can look cartoonish on a gray day. Climate plays a role, too. Imagine your proposed paint color in stark, snowy winter as well as in lush, leafy summer. Remember that colors intensify and look brighter in daylight on the outside of a house than they do on the color card in the store.


Consider Climate

Take into consideration your climate and how the seasons play out in your region. Imagine your proposed paint color in stark, snowy winter as well as in lush, leafy summer. Remember that colors intensify and look brighter in daylight on the outside of a house than they do on the color card in the store.

Take it Outside

Look at your paint chips and material samples outside in different lighting. You'll want to get an idea of what the colors will look like in the shade, on bright, sunny days, and on overcast days, as well.

Consider Fixed Elements

Brick, slate, stone, and concrete are known as fixed, or given, elements because you cannot, or probably would not, change them. You could paint brick and vinyl siding, but doing so would only increase maintenance. In general, the foundation color should be the same or darker than the siding color.

Remember Roof Color

Unless you plan on replacing your roof, it should play a part in the color scheme. The size and impact of roofing can be as prominent as siding, so its color must relate harmoniously to the siding and trim colors to create a cohesive color scheme.

Pick the Right Roof Color

Roofing is a much more permanent investment, as it is designed to last 15 to 20 years or more. A coat of paint is only designed to last one-third of that. Pick a neutral, go-with-anything roofing material and down the road, you'll leave yourself open to more paint color options when it comes time to re-paint your home.

Proportion

Factor in your home's size. Depending on the proportions, you may want to emphasize or tone down certain features. Keep in mind that lighter colors tend to visually grow a home or feature, while darker colors shrink them. Bright colors call attention to features while neutrals let them fade into the background.

Pick Three Colors

Choose at least two colors for your home's exterior when the siding is brick or stone. Select three colors when the siding will also be painted as the main color. Pick a complementary color for the trim and an accent color for doors, shutters, and decorative trim. Need more help? Try hiring a professional colorist to design a color scheme unique to your home.


Consider the Style

A home's style is another cue to its paint treatment. If your house has no particular style, paint it in colors that appeal to you. However, if your home is a colonial, Greek Revival, Prairie, or other distinctive style, respecting the integrity of the original architecture is important.

Mwaka huu wadau wa blog hii wameamua.......Wale wote walio kwenye kundi la 1, tunawashukuru, na kundi la 2 tujitahidi kufikia kundi 1......Kupanga kuchagua....Homez Deco tuko kwa ajili yako.....

Kundi la 1:

Tokea mwaka jana mwishoni mpaka sasa, kwa kweli napenda kuwapongeza wadau wangu kwa uamuzi wenu, kwa kuchagua Homez Deco, kuwafanyia kazi zenu.

Yaani naanza kuona matunda ya kile ninachokifundisha....... kama ninavyosema, Kupanga kuchagua. Ukichagua kuvaa, ukaacha nyumba haieleweki ni umechagua, na ukichagua kutengeneza nyumba mambo mengine baadae pia ni kuchagua.

Uamuzi ni wako, chaguo ni lako.

Tumepata pongezi nyingi sana sana, kwa wateja wetu wote tuliowafanyia kazi, maana kwanza tuna meet deadline ya delivery, kazi ni nzuri....... hakuna longolongo, nawashukuru sana.

Kitu kingine ninachokisisitiza, na kimeshaanza kuleta matunda kwa wale wanaokitumia ni kwamba, ku decorate nyumba yako sio lazima ufanye vitu vyote kwa wakati mmoja,

 Kundi La 2:

Kua na check list ya nini kianze na nini kimalizike. Kwa kufanya hivyo utaona utakavyofanikiwa, na budget yako haitaingiliana na kitu kingine....

Hivi kama tunaweza kujiandaaa miezi na miezi kuchangia kitchen party, sendoff, harusi, na tena siku hizi sherehe zi nazidi, kwa nini tunashindwa kujipanga kukarabati nyumba zetu?

Najua ni gharama, ila ukijipanga inawezekana, na utaweza...... Inaanzia kwako na si kwa jirani.....

Chagua unaanza na chumba gani? na unamalizia wapi?

Kuna huu msemo hua ninakutana nao kila kukicha........SIWEZI DECORATE NYUMBA YA KUPANGA MPAKA KWENYE NYUMBA YANGU....

Sasa ukiliangalia huu msemo kwa mapana jamani, unajua inachekesha, maana emagine huyu mtu hana hata kiwanja.......ama ana kiwanja hajaanza kujenga, na hajajua ataanza lini kujenga.  Ila anavaa vizuri kupita maelezo, SASA KWA NINI UVAE VIZURI WAKATI UKO KWENYE YAKUPANGA, SI USUBIRI UWE NA YAKO NDIO UVAE VIZURI....(kwa mimi huu msemo ninautafsiri kua nyumba za kupanga haziihitaji decorations. hivyo hata kuvaa pia hakutakiwi kuvaa vizuri ukapendeza mpaka kwenye nyumba yako)

Ukiangalia kwa undani, unaweza decorate kwenye hiyo nyumba yako ya kupanga, na asilimia kubwa ya decorations ukaondoka nazo kwenye hiyo nyumba yako utakayojenga.

Naomba huu msemo wapendwa watanzania tuufute...... na ufutike..........

Nyumba nzuri inaanza na wewe na si mwenyenyumba, ama jirani........jipange, tayarisha checklist yako, na utaweza..... mungu ni mwema na anampa kheri yake kila mwenye nia....

Uko kwenye kundi gani?

Nawatakia siku njema.......

Bathrooms

Bathorooms need paricularly carefuly measuring and planning before the main components are ordered and work begins, because fitted sanitaryware is a permanent fixture that can be expensive to alter once it has been installed.

Existing pipework may also dictate the new design and layout.

Do:
  • Remember to allow sufficient clearance around the sanitaryware.
Don't:
  • Cram large-scale pieces into a small bathroom if you can't use them in comfort.


Nadhani sasa mtakua mmejua kila chumba mtumiaje space zake..........

The End.
