Modern Hotel Interior Design

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The moment you step into a hotel you get a feel how the place is going to be and <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5">how much</span> you are going to love being there. And this feeling might be quite different from what you got by seeing <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">the hotel</span> from outside or in a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12">photograph</span>. It is the way in which the interiors are drawn that gives you positive or negative vibrations about a place. <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">And hotels</span> are no <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11">exception</span> to this rule.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">Have you</span> ever felt like coming 
back to a hotel just because it makes you feel at home? If your answer 
is yes, then you know what makes it so special. It could be that special
 sight from the balcony of your favorite room, like a sunrise or a river
 crossing. Otherwise, it could be just a cozy and secure feeling evoked 
by its subtle decor. Whichever be the reason, it is all associated with 
something within the room or about the room. And when it comes to a 
hotel room, the only factor that helps the guests to judge the quality 
and character of the hotel is the way in which its interiors are 
designed. This is because guests stay only for a day or two and all they
 get to know is what they see and feel. If you are a hotel owner you 
would have experienced it. No matter how dedicated your services are, 
you won't be able to keep the guests coming back if you have a shabbily 
maintained <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">interior</span>.</div>

The interior designing service for a hotel is not just limited to what you see within the doors of your <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">hotel rooms</span>. It covers the entire hotel including its lobby and lawn. The designers are responsible for developing a unique theme for the hotel through unique styles and decors. They should synchronize the designs and patterns in every material used within the hotel. This includes walls, drapes, furniture, cushions, towels, <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9">paintings</span>,
 show lamps, fans, flowers, carpets, table clothes, phones, clocks and 
washroom accessories. Every object used inside and outside of the room 
should be customized to suit the overall theme of the hotel's interior.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The interior designing for hotels requires more skill and expertise than <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">designing a home</span>. Hotel interiors are subject to frequent alterations and renovations. Hence, while <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD10">planning</span> the designs, a designer should anticipate and make provision for future replacements or enhancements without much difficulty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Three important things that are vital for any kind of hotel interior 
designing are good lighting, proper spacing, and unquestionable 
tidiness. Lighting should be a soothing blend of natural and artificial 
illumination. Spacing and neatness offers more comfort and homeliness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best interior designs need not be the most expensive ones. They can 
be termed as best for the mere reason that people love it and they feel 
comfortable and contented by their looks and aesthetic appeal. 
Generally, people like simple and natural looking interiors rather than 
flashy or gaudy ones because uncomplicated and sober settings encourage a
 reclining sensation.</div>

<b>
Choose colors</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to choose colors in a palette, you will need to learn and to read a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">color chart</span> of paint, that way it will be easier to choose and combine the colors with which you want to <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">paint the walls</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are one of those people who felt that all white walls are cold 
and sterile, it is well that you combine with pastel colors and maybe 
you can compare with other furniture colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Materials and accessories for decoration</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Often the word clean has minimalist deal with the decoration of the 
house and also electronic accessories such as stereos or televisions, as
 they have to bring in space.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, there can be granite floors or linoleum, if you have 
any other option but avoid similar that can choose to use cover with 
rugs or blankets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also in the kitchen decor e.g., interior modernity has come hand in hand
 with stainless steel or chrome. These materials can also be used in 
faucets or pipes of the bathrooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>
Modern furniture</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the interior of modern homes, the choice of furniture is a very 
important issue. One option is to get chairs, sofas and tables of sleek 
and clean (i.e., sober colors and designs that create a feeling of more 
space), something bold yet sophisticated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is common in this modern decor that used furniture of angular shapes,
 so you can place that you like but try not to place more because in 
this decoration "less is more".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
Lighting tips</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can choose to place high lamps or lighting with dichroic lamps in 
the ceiling. It will help you if you have modern decor with <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">large windows</span> that contain spaces. If so, select blinds or simple woven plastic and avoids the traditional curtains.</div>

2014 Tips for Small Bedrooms Decorating Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">These are tips for creating a serene and relaxing bedroom . Keep it neutral . There are more neutrals out there than just white. Variations of beige, gray, putty, stone. The benefits of going neutral are that it's not gender specific and creates a wonderful backdrop for everybody. Another tip is to choose a fabric you love and use it in a big way on the curtains, on the duvet, and the pillow shams. And what this does is creates interest without overwhelming a room.<br />Give the room another function. A great idea is to put a desk instead of a night stand and it gives you a little workspace or even just a bench to put at the bed. So guys, this is not rocket science. You can do this at home too. Put a neutral on the walls, take a great fabric that you love and use it in a big way, and then give the room another function, but it still makes it really pretty. <br /><br />You'll love these ideas to try in 2014! I hope you find these ideas useful and inspiring to you ....

2014 Bright Ideas for Kitchen Lighting

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Often the difference between a utilitarian kitchen and one that's the heart of the home is well planned lighting. Top experts share what's gorgeous and trendy in luxury kitchen lighting.<br /><b><br /></b><b><span style="color: orange;"><i>By : Melissa Macron from HGTV</i></span></b><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl0t4Q_RBCbnEQnh-4520GS6awLt_BwHa4lklbSHGbJhUNbLiiF3izPFJ_UlnwvlPNVvAttw-xMKHMiE71PyuGN2aRxbvib1etyuutGrc9yoroCpWfWr92qjjLiTLDqKq-bF-NtFCpjrk/s1600/2014-Bright-Ideas-Kitchen-Lighting.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Pendant Perfection : </b>Most frequently seen over an island workspace, pendant lights are as striking as they are practical. The pair here is "clean, classic and timeless. The brushed nickel finish and clean design of these striking pendants add a 'wow' factor, combining the best of form and function," says Kim Mager, Marketing Director at Hinkley Lighting. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuW8ilssO9_bATiCMVw76qHW-PSLAP2pkyuuqYgrAQ9QON_iT5BThvikWeqQENg5Yz0UXCvCixCBWIJZ9w3Fpn6TjcGKlYAZk5-quh2OrU9FfBLVsG_Uz4KA9L-qryHWnFIiiQTFGvKQ/s1600/2014-Bright-Ideas-Kitchen-Lighting-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Love Those Layers : </b>"Layering light is a technique that is often used in dining rooms or living rooms but, until recently, wasn't utilized in the kitchen," says Mager. "Now kitchens have become the hub of the home, being used for socializing, eating and entertaining, as well as homework stations or home offices."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">"Layering light is the best way to provide task as well as ambient lighting," advises Mager, "striking just the right balance between function and mood." This farmhouse-style kitchen includes a pared-down chandelier and matching sconces to "complete a cohesive, stylish environment where you want to spend time, regardless of whether it's for relaxation or entertaining," according to Mager.

"Lighting, when layered, [can add] a wonderful dimension of shadows and color to feature and enhance natural characteristics of woods, stones and metals.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In many kitchen designs, a focal point is a prominent feature of the space and lighting can immediately focus attention to one or more special areas to guide the eye into the design." Here, recessed lighting, accent lighting, over-counter task lighting and pendants work together for a welcoming, warm result.

Its form and proportion should be scaled properly to the space. The size of a fixture should not be too small, especially over a table, as luxury often is communicated by size," recommends Serra. "The style of a lighting fixture should complement the decor of the kitchen and surrounding rooms. It should also relate, but does not have to match, the finish of other fixtures," she adds. Here, the clean, warm lines of this kitchen are echoed in the mission-style pendants and matching fixture above the window.

"I do believe that any style of lighting has a place in the kitchen," Serra says, "whether in a fabulous breakfast room or in the center of a kitchen work area."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> "These contemporary pendants are actually made for outdoor use," reveals Mager, "but they are so modern and chic, they look just as fabulous inside. The seedy glass and minimalist, stem-hung design adds an urban edge while providing excellent task lighting that reduces eye strain while preparing a meal or doing homework at a kitchen island."

"Lighting that makes a statement is now," enthuses Serra. "Oversized fixtures [make for a] bold entrance into the kitchen. Simple shapes, often with heavy textures, vintage styles and Edison-style bulbs are all saying, ‘Look at me!'" Mager shares, "If you want to update your kitchen lighting, think about adding one of the hottest trends in lighting design: a linear chandelier. Not only will it provide more light, it adds a dramatic and stylish focal point to the room, immediately upgrading the overall design and elegance of the room."

The gorgeous cobalt glass pendants here add a pop of color and unique appeal to a contemporary setting. "Natural materials in lighting fixtures such as reclaimed wood and distressed metals also add that authentic element we crave. Imperfections are desired and coveted in context, of course!" Serra says.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> A side note on pendant fixtures, Serra adds, "I love layered pendant lighting groupings of pendants set at different heights, creating a singular form. I also like multiple pendants placed close together, say, four to six across an island. It is simple yet makes a strong design statement."

"Quality materials with quality finishes further differentiate the upscale from the ordinary. In addition, it is often the details the small crystal ball, nickel chain, hand blown glass, luxury fabric, reclaimed wood that clearly communicates quality as well as authenticity. Chandeliers featuring waterfalls of crystals, pieces of luxury metals, feathers and fabric add both strong texture and luxury to a room. Here clean, modern pendants light the island, while a classic crystal chandelier graces the dining area.
