My mother informed me that they already bought tiles for our bathroom floor and walls. I immediately asked if the tiles they bought for the floor  is a little rough, gladly they bought the right tiles for the floor. A rough tiles for the bathroom floor is safe because it is not prone to being slippery when wet unlike the tiles which are usually in walls which are usually shiny and smooth.

One of the bathroom floor tile that is often used is ceramic because of its resistance to dampness which is not slippery when wet, durability and  ease of cleaning. A slip-resistant surface for bathroom safety  is one of the best bathroom tile ideas you should remember.

Designing your stairs even if on a budget just needs some research and careful planning. The stair design can make or break your home’s look. This is why choosing your stair’s design will be one of the most important decisions you will have to make about your home.

The stair was like a fan or stair case. It was not yet fully finished when my sister forwarded the images to me, hopefully it could be finish soon our next project after this is our bathroom.

When you think of home décor it’s possible that spring cleaning comes to mind – the winter bedding is put away, the drapes are drawn and the house is cleaned from top to bottom. What you may not think as much about is winter home décor, perhaps because it’s more gradual as the days get shorter and the night longer and colder. The best time to stock up on things like cozy fleece and flannel sheets is long before the weather turns cold – shop in the spring and summer to get the best deals on winter bedding and décor items.

Color is a big part of seasonal décor – you may wish to switch to towels and bedding in darker, richer jewel tones such as burgundy, gold and forest green for the winter months.  In part this is a direct reflection of nature’s color palette – these are the very same colors you see on autumn leaves as they turn colors. Something as simple as a decorative throw can make a room feel more cozy and warm plus it will help to ward off drafts and winter chills as you read, lounge or watch television; decorative pillows in fall colors add can change the look of a room and make it more comfortable to relax and snuggle.

Cold weather is a reality for many homeowners who are also faced with the desire to set back the thermostat for both economical and environmental reasons; a heated throw or electric blanket can make life much more comfortable when you are in bed or just lounging. While the room may be chilly you will be toasty warm under a heated throw; a towel warmer is another practical idea that offers year round comfort. It’s nice to step out of the shower and wrap yourself in a hot fluffy towel but you can also use a towel warmer to warm blankets, baby cloths and mittens.

Perhaps you have a tiny bathroom or one with an odd shape – it can be difficult to find specialty vanities and sinks designed to meet your needs when you only shop the big box stores; take a tip from the pros and shop the web.

If you have never bought anything online before it’s a good idea to start by browsing the websites of the stores where you normally make your bed, bath and home décor purchases because you know they will stand behind the goods they sell should there be any kind of a problem. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that the online selection far exceeds what the local store carries and that’s because most chains ship from central warehouses which can stock a far greater range of goods than what any local outlet could offer.

Browsing online is so convenient because you can shop at your convenience any time of the day or night without regard to conventional store hours.

If you are working with a small space you need to take advantage of every little nook and cranny. This is even more important with children’s rooms. Sleeping s not the only thing that occurs in children’s rooms, there needs to be room for play and activities. The following article lists some great ways to help you get the most out of a small room, specifically a child’s rom. It’s easier than you think, it’s all about following a few simple design rules or tricks.

Colour

If you are starting from scratch you have a great opportunity. It’s all about tricking the eye with clever design. Start from a blank canvas by removing whatever is in the room. Choose a light colour. Don’t be afraid to ask your child what colour they would like and then negotiate, this is their room after all. Light colours reflect natural light and light makes spaces appear larger. It’s that simple.

Light

Light is the best way to make a room appear spacious. Try to take advantage of natural light as much as you can, it can be as simple as replacing your blinds to something that covers less of the window when retracted. When it comes to artificial light, don’t be afraid to have more than one light in the room. You should have at least a ceiling light and a lamp at your child’s desk. For younger children you may want to also include a night light.

Storage

The best way to make a space appear larger is to not cram it full of items. That’s where storage comes along.Clever storage will not only keep your child’s room neat but also keep them organised. They will actually know where their belongings are and you won’t have to constantly pick up after them. It’s like a dream come true. Try to think outside of the box. Shelves are good but you want all the furniture in the room to serve more than one function. You don’t want to waste space on a boring bed, go for a bed with drawers underneath it instead.

Furniture

Like I just said above, you want the furniture that you choose to serve more than one function. There are great amount of different designs of beds that really utilise the space you have. For example bunk beds without the bottom bunk. This is a great way to create a study or chill out area. Go to http://www.bunkers.com.au/ to see what I am talking about. If you have enough space for a chair or bench try one that has hidden storage or shelves on the side. Look for smart furniture, it’s out there.

When you are raising a family it can be a challenge to create and maintain a beautiful home, especially when you work outside of the house. You may fondly recall the days before children and the fun of planning for your first child and decorating the nursery. It was a delight to plan and shop for baby blankets and bedding and to take the time to select each and every item with care and consideration. When shopping becomes a chore and it’s more of a grab and go situation the concept of home décor often takes a back seat to the practical realities of daily life.

Maybe you need a new shower curtain and rod but the prospect of shopping for shower curtains, hooks and rods is simply too much to fathom – when every minute of the day is filled then it’s time to stop running around and start shopping online. You can shop from home any time of the day or night without regard to conventional retail store hours and without the hassle of packing the kids in the car, fighting traffic and hunting down a parking space. Park yourself in a comfortable chair and let your fingers do the walking.

You will soon find that there are some innovative family-friendly ways to upgrade your bathroom, starting with a curved shower curtain rod. By installing one you will create more elbow room in the tub and make it easier to bathe children and pets. Skip the hassle of shower hooks and select a hook-less shower curtain – that’s one less thing you need to worry about, especially if you chose one with a built-in liner.

Out of many storage equipments, shoe racks are one of the most important thing a person must have to have a clean and organized closet because as it said there’s nothing that can ruin a well designed house than a clutter  and disorganized furniture and equipments.

When we moved to our new apartment we are disappointed to find out that there’s no built-in cabinet to keep some of our belongings unlike the old apartment where we stayed for more than three years it has built-in cabinet with many doors where I keep most of the items I purchased on Daiso like bags, notebooks and even passport wallet which I was not able to use because I bought different pouch for travel purposes.

Built-in cabinets are very useful when your apartment/house has only small space for bigger furniture because it creates more space and gives a good impression.
