Is Your Interior Design Depressing You?
By Joseph Pubillones
(DailyHerald.com http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140913/entlife/140919600)
From time to time, someone will corner me and confess to me that they are depressed; they whisper that they believe their decorating is making them sick. They tell me that their interiors are not to their liking because of choices made by their spouse, their designer, or because of their own misguided attempts at decorating.
Is it possible for their environment to make them feel sick? Yes (as I think about it), it is possible for design to alter moods.
In the mid-1950s, Norbett Mintz, a researcher at Brandeis University, and his mentor, the renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow, decided to conduct research about the effects of "beauty" on behavior. Mintz had already conducted experiments about the effects of color on human behavior and concluded that color selection has a palpable effect on personal behavior.
A room's design can have an impact on your mood. Mismatched colors or an
overstuffed room can affect your ability to relax and feel comfortable.
In their experiment about beauty, they designed three rooms. The first was "the ugly room", replete with clashing colors and patterns, disorganization and too much furniture for the size of the space. The second was "the average room", arranged with a monochromatic scheme, basic furniture pieces and subtly colored nondescript art. The third was "the beautiful room", decorated with quality case-goods, and fashionable fabrics and colors. Overwhelmingly, the test group rejected "the ugly room". "The average room" and "the beautiful room" were tied as the preferred room. When asked to describe the rooms, the test group was best able to describe "the beautiful room".
As a designer, this is not news to me. There are rooms, especially those that I like, that I can describe with remarkable detail. Although our notion of what is beautiful varies from person to person, it can be said that beautiful design is more memorable. We can deduce that each person prefers the beautiful.
From the time we are born, there are foods that are preferred -- some love sweets; others prefer more savory flavors. Over time, our taste buds evolve, and what was once a favorite food can become insipid or nauseating. The same is true for interior design. Over time, everyone develops preferences about what makes us feel comfortable and at home.
When I hear that someone's home is depressing, I am concerned. I suggest immediate action to change what is most bothersome. If it is wall color: a painting party is overdue. If it is furniture: I ask them to consider new upholstery; a new furniture arrangement; or substituting new pieces for those that offend. And for those too timid or dismayed to tackle their problems head-on and alone, I suggest hiring a professional interior designer.

[Comment by Brandon Oriental Rugs: Good quality is evident in the words we use when we appreciate its presence: beauty, harmony, integrity, excellence. These are appealing impressions it makes upon our minds and spirits. It can't be faked. Attempts to put a stamp of "quality" -- as in "good quality" -- upon things which possess or convey "bad quality" doesn't fool anyone who appreciates quality and the benefits it inherently brings.]

Bucks County Rug Store Helps Bethlehem, PA Homeowners Select Rugs to Complete Newly Furnished Living Room and Dining Room
Our customers purchased new living room and dining room furniture from Hendrixson's Fine Furnishings in Shimersville, PA.
With most of both rooms finished, they asked Brandon Oriental Rugs to help them find two fine quality oriental rugs that would coordinate with each other, and serve as the last puzzle pieces to complete their decorating.
Both rugs are finely detailed, hand-knotted, antique reproduction Persian Tabriz design oriental rugs made in India. The living room rug has a golden-maize color background with an antique gold border that subtly complements the fabrics and floor color in the room. The small scale motifs add color and interest while not defeating the supporting role the rug plays in the room to the customer's collection of fine original artworks.
The dining room rug is an unusual "Hasht-guli" design with berry-red background and golden-maize border that complements the living room rug, the rich mahogany wood-tones of the dining room suite, and the fabrics used in the custom window treatments designed and installed by Hendrixson's.
The wonderful result wrought by our customers expressing their good taste in an unswerving commitment to quality is proof that a modestly sized home can look and feel as elegant and luxurious as any palace.

Why You Should Hire a Professional Interior Designer
by Cindy Beyer — August 27, 2014 at 1:00 pm
( http://www.restonnow.com/2014/08/27/why-you-should-hire-a-professional-interior-designer)
The interior of your home says a lot about you. Your home is your castle. Many of my clients have said they couldn’t imagine the results after their project was completed. They say it was the WOW factor. I say, that is why you hired a professional designer.
There are many situations that warrant the hiring a professional interior designer. This includes something as simple as choosing paint and window covering to full scale renovation work such as a new kitchen, bath or lower level. In addition to achieving that WOW factor, a professional interior designer will save their clients’ money in many ways, most importantly the avoidance of costly mistakes.
Not only will a professional designer understand the context of the project, they will have access to many resources and their trained eye can make a world of difference in the final result. And those final results also will improve the value of your home.
Professional interior designers are able to work closely with architects and contractors and are comfortable with drawing floor plans, as well as understanding the implications of how interiors will be used as it relates to structural and available floor space.
Beyond floor plans, program management, installation and understanding how structural design will be used in a practical setting, a professional interior designer will also be knowledgeable in color and fabric design, space planning, window coverings, furniture design, architecture and much more. So when you see the initials ASID and NCIDQ next to an interior designer’s name, know they have been through significant amount of formal certification.
When hiring a professional interior designer, it is important to have an understanding of the scope of the work to be done. Before my initial meeting with a new client, I ask them to spend some time making a list of their needs as well as any pictures they saved of items or rooms they like. Upon our first meeting, I take photos and measurements. Together,we then develop a detailed itemized list covering all areas of concern. The next step is to draw up and present a floor plan. Depending on the type of project this could include floor plans and furniture placement as well as construction and lighting if needed.
Once the plan is approved appropriate furnishings and finishes are selected. This can be fun - and exhausting as well. I often present my clients with many samples from which to choose. After the furniture choices, I develop a comprehensive budget itemizing all purchases.
I also may call on several of the contractors I work with such as electricians, plumbers, cabinet wholesalers and cabinet makers, painters, as well as drapery workrooms and installers. It has taken many years to compile trusted associates, which is an important part of being a good designer.
Lead times for good furniture and furnishings can take from 6-12 weeks depending on availability. This extra time gives sufficient time to finish the required preparatory work, and allows clients time to dispose of old furniture.

This contemporary, three-floor townhome was in need of some emergency paint help. Owned by a young urban couple, they had already working with three designers and were left with a bright yellow wall color throughout the entire main floor. They were unhappy with the hue and it negatively impacted their moods and behaviors. Working with the existing black, white and grey-patterned draperies, the Authentic Home COLOR Paint™ in Pewter was selected to infuse the space with a young, contemporary and urban feel. Furniture, area rugs, lighting and art work with red accents were also brought into the space, and the result was the talk of the townhomes!

Rodents can represent a huge danger to both private and business properties in Sydney. Figuring out their way of behaving and carrying out powerful control measures is fundamental to safeguard your home or business. This article investigates the normal rat species tracked down in Sydney, indications of pervasion, deterrent methodologies, and expert control strategies to keep your property rat free. Find the reason why Rat control. Sydney is the favored decision for complete rat the executives arrangements.
Understanding Rodent Behavior
To effectively control rodents, understanding their behavior is crucial. Rodents, such as rats and mice, are nocturnal creatures that favor dark, confined spaces. They have a keen sense of smell and can detect food from a distance. These pests are skilled at climbing, gnawing, and squeezing through small openings. Knowing their nesting locations, dietary preferences, and movement patterns helps in devising targeted control strategies. Understanding their behavior enables more effective prevention and control measures to keep your property free of rats.
Common Rodent Species Found in Sydney
Sydney is home to different rat species, including the house mouse, rooftop rodent, and Norway rodent. Each has distinct characteristics and behaviors. House mice are small and can easily enter homes through tiny openings. Rooftop rodents are excellent climbers, often nesting in attics or upper floors of buildings. Norway rodents are larger and more aggressive, typically burrowing around structures. Identifying these species is crucial for effective RODENT CONTROL SYDNEY services, as each requires specific control and prevention methods.
Signs of Rodent Infestation
Detecting signs of a rat infestation early can prevent significant property damage. Common indicators include droppings, chew marks on furniture and wires, and shredded materials used for nesting. You may also notice grease marks along walls and baseboards, along with unusual noises at night emanating from walls or the attic. Unusual pet behavior, such as barking or pawing at walls, can also signal rodents. Early detection is crucial for effective rat control, allowing prompt action to address the infestation before it escalates.
Preventative Measures for Rodent Control
Preventing a rat infestation involves sanitation, exclusion, and maintenance. Keep your property clean by promptly disposing of trash and storing food in sealed containers. Seal cracks and openings in walls, floors, and foundations to block entry points. Regularly inspect and repair damaged screens, vents, and door sweeps. Additionally, maintain a clutter-free environment, especially outdoor areas, to reduce hiding spots. Implementing these preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of a rat infestation and ensure a rat-free property.

Ian Weir Architect
Located on the bushfire prone biodiverse landscape of Point Henry, Western Australia, and televised on ABC New Inventors and SBS Insight - the H House presents a model for reconciling bushfire and biodiversity with daily life.
The house was developed using a ‘ground up’ approach which followed a detailed topographical survey (by Dr Weir) and collaborations with a local botanists and a bushfire risk consultant to ascertain the level of threat that fire presented to this particular site. The intention from the outset however, was not to design a bushfire resistant house per se, but to develop a design which would place the owners in close proximity to the highly biodiverse heath vegetation of the site.
Bushfire awareness is embedded into daily life through the dual purposing of fire shutters to also control sun, insects and glare. In this way not only are costs minimised, but the resident’s behaviour in emergencies is directly aligned with their daily patterns of habitation.
