Do you feel confused while deciding how to choose the right things which makes your home just the best home in the world. There are very basic things which will decide the outcome of your efforts and we will list them down for you here. Walls color and High Contrast: Go for white color for the entire room and put a decorative piece like painting or statue with high saturated color to stand out in the entire room. What we are going to tell you now is not rocket science. White color makes small rooms look big. Also, what is important is to know whether that room will have ample sunlight or not. If one had carefully watched how colors play magic during sunset and sunrise; they would know that blue, violet, red, orange and yellow are the main ingredients to bring up those amazing combinations. Rooms with less sunlight, we recommend brighter shades of yellowish orange. The dark rooms will then be illuminated using violet- bluish lights to bring up the same magic. We recommend that if you buy paintings which are red colored for decorating room, then don't opt of statues which are blue. Go for Red vases as centerpieces and while doing that, you would be setting up a room which is high on contrast but still not overburdened with all the colors in the world. Focused Lights on main paintings: Lights are one of the most important factors to keep in mind before undertaking any sort of interior designing/re-designing. As we have discussed earlier, the shades and the extent of lighting required will depend on the amount of natural light which is available in the room. We recommend controlled lighting which can be scaled up and down as per the requirement during various times of day and night. We recommend using contrasting lights which means that on blue or purple walls, use lights which are red, orange or red yellowish in nature but use blue or purple lights on bright walls. The key to choose the right lighting is to consider the size and style of the room. Some of the import

A  new branch of art and designing has stemmed out from modernism and that is contemporary art. Contemporary art, unlike modernism, deals more with the present trend and style rather than of the 90's. Although used interchangeably, this mode of designing is more edgy, bold, and flexible than modern design. A contemporary living room may have the same feel as to that of a modern living room but its furniture has more asymmetrical features in contrast to a stick-to-basic modern living room furniture. We don't have to be partisans though and a mix of these elegant designs don't negate each other out since they are more or less from the same era of designing.

White marble flooring exudes luxury, sophistication, and timeless elegance, making it a coveted choice for residential and commercial spaces alike. Whether you're renovating your home or designing a new space, white marble flooring offers versatility and aesthetic appeal. In this article, we'll explore design tips and installation techniques to help you make the most of this exquisite material. Understanding White Marble Varieties: Introduce readers to different types of white marble such as Carrara, Calacatta, Thassos, and Statuario. Highlight the unique characteristics of each variety, including color variations, veining patterns, and texture. Choosing the Right White Marble for Your Space: Consider the overall aesthetic and design theme of your space. Evaluate factors such as durability, maintenance requirements, and budget constraints when selecting the perfect white marble. Design Tips for White Marble Flooring: Create contrast with dark or vibrant-colored accents to make the white marble pop. Incorporate lighting to enhance the natural beauty of the marble and create visual interest. Experiment with different laying patterns such as herringbone, basketweave, or diagonal for added visual impact. Practical Considerations: Assess the traffic flow and usage of the space to determine the appropriate finish for the marble (e.g., polished, honed, or brushed). Ensure proper sealing of the marble to protect against stains and moisture damage, especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Installation Techniques: Hire experienced professionals for the installation to ensure precision and quality workmanship. Properly prepare the subfloor to ensure a stable and level surface for laying the marble tiles. Use high-quality adhesives and grouts suitable for marble to ensure long-lasting results.
