Floor covering for a child"s room

On the floor rebyatnya spends a lot of time, and therefore the choice of flooring in the children’;s room to go thoroughly. It should be warm to the touch and the most environmentally friendly. In this case, are very important resistance to wear and easy to care for.

Carpeting

Perhaps this is the most unacceptable coverage for a child’;s room, as it is most often artificial and is a great dust collector. However, the latter issue can be handled by regular cleaning of a powerful vacuum cleaner. If the choice fell on the carpet, as the relatively soft and warm covering, should be selected such that the nap he had a short and tough.

Ideal – linoleum, but the PVC coating is cheaper, but because it is used more of8. The main thing that it was a well-known manufacturer products. The top coating layer (the one with the picture) should be as thick that it can withstand the active children’;s games. Total thickness linoleum must not be less than 3 mm.

Laminate

This type of coverage is quite resistant to abrasion, but the place docking panes are afraid of moisture. However, if the child “went to the floor,” or spilled juice, then quickly assembled a pool will not create problems. In extreme cases, when installing panels can brush them with the edge of a special sealant.

Laminate is mainly made of natural materials (base – MDF panel), so that it can be called environmentally friendly. However, the surface of the panel is solid, but because the number of bumps and bruises beloved child may be crammed with more than covers, which were discussed above.

Parquet and flooring

Practically harmless floor – wood, but here the problem abrasions no less relevant than laminate. After all, wood – a material is also quite dense. Plasma does not like moisture, but because it is covered immediately after the installation of oil or varnish.

Wooden boards are impregnated with plant vlagoottalkivayuschey composition, but the edges of boards is desirable during installation fluff sealant as a laminate.

Cork

It is harmless and safe natural cork flooring. In addition, it is soft and warm to the touch, and keep it clean snap. So if financial resources allow, cork flooring for a child’;s room – this is probably the best option.

Modern living rooms

What is a “modern living”? Chances are, most people mean by this concept of “living in a modern style.” Let’;s see, what should be the design of a living room? That, first of all, you need to take into account in the design of modern living room?

First you need to decide what you mean the concept of “modern interior style?”

This is the style being the height of fashion at the moment? Then maybe you will have to wait a disappointment, because a year after your repair in the design world will have new trends and update the environment each year you are unlikely. On the other hand, nothing prevents you to buy furniture, finishes and accessories from the latest collections of international brands, and then, with proper use of all this, I promise you, your interior will look like a long time actually.

Or is it – one of the styles that have arisen in the past 50-100 years? Yes, yes, do not be surprised styles of a century ago may well be modern. For example, minimalism began to appear in Russia in the 20s of the last century. Also today, a very popular styles are encountered in the middle of the XX-th century as a loft , vintage, art deco . But the most latest trend of “high-tech» (high tech – high-tech) is not stuck in front of the mass market, most likely due to some cold and neuyutnosti interiors. But any of these styles, given their characteristics, you can apply to your interior, decorated with modern living room.

Or maybe a modern style for you – this is the opposite classic? That is a complete denial of spare parts, sophisticated decor in the form of all kinds of curls, folds and complex patterns. Simple shapes, clean lines, open spaces, light and air – these words can describe the interiors in a contemporary style.

In general, you can go to any of these ways, and in any case would be right.

But the most fashionable trend of recent years in the interior – it’;s functionality. In other words, if you design your modern living room design before you think, “What?” Think “Why?”. There should be nothing superfluous or distracting. And it will not necessarily be the bare minimalism. Just all the furniture should be functional, thoughtful use of space, and the lines – clear and simple.

Do not get distracted by small details. When compared with the visual arts, the interior of modern living is more like a preliminary sketch: a few clear lines, strokes and accents – and a clear idea of the author, the composition began to play, and the rest you can think through the imagination. Opposite – the classic living rooms , which can be compared with the painting, where the picture worked out every little detail, the attention paid to every crease and wrinkle. In contemporary interiors are mainly large items uncomplicated forms (not necessarily linear). The sofa and chairs are from different collections, coffee table is often a glass (do not forget about the light and air) storage system (if necessary), depending on the destination, may consist of 2 or 3 massive blocks that stand out against the wall, or be built is the least noticeable.

Air, light and space are highly valued in today’;s living rooms. Try not to partition off space, even if you need to arrange a variety of areas. Select them conditionally: additional lighting, color, sex, or perhaps drop ceiling. Do not cover the windows with heavy, dark curtains – let nothing interfere pour sunlight. A great example in this respect -Scandinavian style , which is also one of the modern.

What not to do in the interior of modern living?

Sophisticated multi-level ceilings with sinuous lines and intricate shapes. They do not carry any functional load. And their complex shape prevents perceive light and airy modern interior .

“The rich” multi-layer compositions on windows with multiple lambrequins. They just are not relevant to modern seating.

The walls and the headset. Exception – if you want to make a living in the style of the 80s.

Carpets with traditional floral or oriental pattern. Although, I must say that designers are often very good use of oriental rugs in modern interiors. But if you – not the designer, it is better to play it safe.

What you need to create a modern living room interior?

A reasonable amount of decoration. Most often it is unusual in form, but plain on the content of figurines, vases, statuettes and composition. They are few, they are large enough to attract attention, the color and shape of the decor blends in with the surrounding décor. Paintings in thin frames or at all without them. Small paintings or photographs can be combined into the overall composition on the wall.
