Country bathroom design ideas – 10 of the best

May 28, 2015 by derick

“Bathroom may be the least of your concern but it’s not for me. I spend most of my ‘Me’ time at the bathroom that is why I’m always thinking of ideas of how to make it more inviting and exciting. This country bathroom design is definitely a must try for those who want a cozy and vibrant atmosphere for the bathroom.”

You don’t need to live in the country to have a beautiful rustic bathroom. A country bathroom will look fabulous in any home. This style of bathroom will create a calm and informal environment that’s perfect for a relaxing pampering session or cosy bath.

Romantic and emotive, a country bathroom can be the perfect fit for any space, large or small. Choose to simply accessorise your bathroom with traditional soft furnishings, to give a nod to the trend without redecorating your entire bathroom, or go all out and completely redesign your whole room in this classic look.

Exposed beams are one of the easiest ways to instantly achieve a country bathroom design. If you are lucky enough to have this feature in your home, all you need are some well-chosen extras, such as a roll top bath and some rustic accessories to finish off your new bathroom. Keep the rest of your design simple, to avoid cluttering the bathroom – white walls and fittings with a dash of colour will look clean and fresh, but still have a rustic edge.

Choose a romantic or vintage theme to add something new to a country bathroom design. A printed screen or blind, or patterned wallpaper will brighten your bathroom and add a touch of individuality to your space. You can mix up contemporary fittings with a traditional design for a new take on a country bathroom. Turn your bathroom into a wet room with classic features for a truly unique look.

March 12, 2015 by derick

If you ever get the possibility to work from a home office, you just want to make the best of the situation. There are many good things involved in working from your home. One particular crucial element, however, is basically you have a well-organized home office. It may be effortless to attempt to put together and work at a family table or in a bedroom, but you’ll not be as effective and comfortable if you’re always moving. There are many areas to consider that can make your home office experience productive.

A. Plan Your Office
So as to come with an effective office at home it is important to plan your environment and to decide on a place for everything that would occupy your office. Have a good long look at every item you might be keeping and then draw a plan of your office including the items of furniture and where you possibly can store items.

Take note of everything and draw a plan of the room indicating from where the door and windows are, where the electrical sockets are and where the phone socket is. The dimensions of the room also will dictate the layout and design of the room so you better organize it properly and put only the important things.

B. Find the Right Office Location
You will want to determine the place where you plan to develop your home office. Keep in mind; you do not need a huge space. If you think about most cubicles in an office environment, they are certainly not that big, possibly no greater than 64 square feet. You should find a spot that will allow you to have some privacy and permanency. You won’t want to have to pack up all your things every day to make room for other stuff. Make perfectly sure that this area is dedicated to work alone.

C. Evaluate Your Requirements
Consider your business and exactly how it functions, and just what its goals are. Ask yourself, what equipment should I need? A computer, printer and telephone are the most basic requirements of any work place, however, you might also find further more pieces, for instance a fax machine, scanner or laptop docking station. Develop your home office with the same basic tools found in typical companies. The goal is to make your house office a place where you could be comfortable, organized, and productive.

D. Personalize
Last but not least, little things mean a lot. Once you have all the requirements, add some personal touches to create a pleasant work environment. Adorn your office in a manner that shows your taste and personality, produces an upbeat mood, and inspires you to do your best. A potted plant, minimal decorations and a few other personal touches, could make or break a good working place.
