Head Over Feet?

Filed under: decorator design — by cameron7531 @ 5:04 pm

Come on man. Every sane being in the planet knows just how much precious our heads are. But I strongly feel that our feet are hugely unappreciated.One usually uses rugs to cover legs or feet, but generally it is used as a floor covering.

Now why in the world should you be concerned with rugs?

Rugs are one of the most undervalued parts of the house but are actually one of the things that make your house a home. (And there’s a fine line between a house and home right?) I don’t know. Who would want a solid cold concrete floor for a living room right? It’s just that, come on, admit it, floors with rugs are much more comfy and home-y than those just-concrete-floor ones. No offense to concrete floors though. Rugs won’t make it without you!

All sorts of rugs could be found in the market, coming in different shades and hues. Others base their decisions of purchasing on the aesthetics of the rugs but most of the people I know go for the quality first. Yes, this means higher spending but then, why rely on cheap rugs when the quality ones which render long-term service are worth all the bucks you’re gonna spend, right? If you are actually considering buying rugs for the floor in your home, cheap rugs should never be on top of the list.

There are times though, that cheap rugs come handy and practical. Like for example, you’d only use it not for aesthetic purposes but for its domestic dimensions, like, keeping your 24/7 wet floor, pretty neat and dry. You really don’t need pretty rugs for that. You can purchase those cheap rugs for floor maintenance. But hey, NOT ALL cheap rugs are unreliable. You see, when you say cheap rugs it may mean two things: 1. It’s cheap because of low quality or 2. It’s cheap because of the brand, hence, less expensive. And mind you, not all unbranded cheap rugs are of low quality. However, not all cheap rugs are appealing. But if we’re actually on domestic usage talk, wherein you need rugs for areas in the house which doesn’t really need high aesthetic consideration, then you might as well try to buy (and meticulously choose) cheap rugs of somewhat satisfactory quality.

I have a friend who’s able to purchase several quality cheap rugs but these are the types that you don’t really see at any mainstream place, but just on bargain stores. They usually sell used quality cheap rugs there. I don’t know with you. I mean, I’m okay with that. I’m the sort of cheap and reliable thingies sort of person. And yes I put great value on aesthetics as well, and I’m telling you, as long as you search hard enough, you’re gonna find get yourself quality AND gorgeous cheap rugs, in no time.

You see, it really depends on your preference. If you’re the sort of person who is all brand names and quality, then you’ll never be contented with cheap rugs no matter how satisfactory its usage is. And because rugs concern our feet and own preferences, then whether to purchase cheap rugs or not, is all up to you my friend.

I do my research before I speak (or type). Home decoration is important for all of us and I understand that.

Using Stained Glass Lampshades For Home Decoration

Filed under: decorator design — by cameron7531 @ 5:04 pm

Using stained glass in a home decoration never seems to go out of style. There are very many ways to integrate it into your home design. One of the most simple but at the same time elegant ways is to purchase stained glass lampshades. These lampshades are both beautiful and functional, and provide soft charming light being placed in any room.

Stained glass is made by fusing colored enamels to pieces of glass and firing them at temperature of up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit. There are many colors used in this kind of art. The most important quality of good glass is that the colors are transparent enough for the light to shine through and it is also wonderful that the colors never fade.

Stained glass has been around for a long time. People began to use it in church windows, many of them can be seen nowadays. Rich people also desired to enjoy the beauty that stained glass added to home decor, so they began to use in homes and office buildings. Several artists became very well known for their stained glass creations. The most famous is Louis Comfort Tiffany, who often created art works that were inspired by nature. His dragonfly and cherry blossom motifs are still very popular today. The other famous artist was Frank Lloyd Wright, who tended to create his art works in the mission style. While original lamps by these artists are very hard to find and are very expensive for the average customer, good quality reproduction lamps are available at a lower cost. This means that everyone can afford a Tiffany lampshade if they really want it.

Stained glass lamps provide an old world charm, warm and calm feeling. Air of your house will be kaleidoscopically colorful, when sun will glance at your place. When turned on at any time, the colors will play across the wall, floor and ceiling and attract attention to your room. Lampshades can be purchased with table or floor length bases, which are usually made of sturdy metal such as brass so the lamp is not likely to tip over and break the glass. You can find a lamp to complement nearly any room. Lampshades can have floral, geometric, animal or other designs. These lampshades are no longer limited to traditional choices. Prices for them can differ very much, anywhere from 50 dollars for cheap one to several thousand for a museum quality Tiffany reproduction lamp. So you can always find a good quality lamp.

Another good place to find stained glass lamps is to seek out artists in your local area. The art of stained glass is enjoying great popularity these days, so many of them are using this beautiful technique. If you are a creative person, you can take a class on creating stained glass, and create your own lampshade. It takes time and patience to learn, but a personally created lampshade may be just the thing to complete that room that has been lacking something beautiful.
