Window treatment help!
Comments (24)Cassansrabrill - This problem intrigues me quite a bit. Would you have the name and brand of that navy please? And thanks in advance! I am sufficiently intrigued with the idea of navy walls to obtain a sample pot and have a 'play'. Its been my life's work studying colour and perfecting a colour-mixing teaching text for artists that is irrefutable... so I am always interested in anything that challenges it. Living spaces are places where we need to feel 'at home' so not so much about what trends and styles dictate, personal preference always prevails. I hope you resolve your problem. I have a dark little house, all natural timber with arctic glass in all the original windows. Whilst it makes for privacy, when the light and sunlight 'bounces' of the disparity in the glass surface, its amazing how the light from a certain angle totally changes the otherwise dark walls of the room. Mydesign0401 would have experience with this too. Try the window film, there's a design for every style and preference, the cost would be minimal if not to your liking....and that's the operative word...LIKEing! I've just had an idea from something Mdesign0401 said...'vertical space'... Are you going to anything more with the ceiling? We are fortunate to have so many products today that you should not have any drama finding some sort of paint or application for the ceiling that will reflect the light downwards. A brand called RESENE manufactures "shimmer" colours.Some very interesting effects can be achieved with this product. If you likethe idea of navy walls you may wish to consider sampling the RESENE Digital Blue ()Astronaut)...that's the base colour... M40-046-279 The base colour is applied first then a transparent coat of what they call "Pearl Shimmer",.another is "Pixie Dust", both are waterbourne pearlescent glazes..=overcoats..(.not meaning shiny like varnishes). but nevertheless ideal for creating shimmering and softly sparkled finishes over colour. Alternatively, although I have not experimented with this myself (yet!)...from what I can acertain from the manufacturers...the "shimmer overcoats"...and there are several different types, I suspect may be applicable over...'ordinary-other brand' colours.....Just an idea...something I would try myself over either acrylic or enamel paint. Houzz is such an inspirational site!...from the above I've recalled that there's a clear metallic for application over timber... exciting! I'm like a kid in a candy shop whenever new paint products appear! RESENE's staff (not the retails stockists in hardware shops) are highly trained in properties of their product. Should you want any firther information I suggest you go directly to the manufacturer. 1800 758 383 QLD Gold Coast. Happy Houzzing!...See MoreWindow Treatments
Comments (7)I would suggest a neutral based solar film that can offer the best in both reasonable privacy without effecting the natural view that you would normally get with clear glass (as opposed to the coloured films and glass tinted versions )whilst offing excellent fade protection and some glare reduction from off the water and improved glass insulation & glass safety . As a business dealing with these films , I've used this particular range of American made PROTEK films over 30 years for situations such as your selves with very good feed back from customers . Using the film can get around; in most applications ; from not using closed or partly close blinds and curtains that would otherwise effect those beautiful views .

Comments (20)Hi diviabhi Here are a few links to companies which supply the roman blinds you are after (blockout & sheer). I would suggest looking at a few, getting an idea of the type of blinds you are after, doing a cost comparison between them all. You might want to request an obligation free quote. Of course, depending on your location, some may be more suitable than others. Fabric/Material, Exposed/Hidden Tracks, Motorised/Manual, Cordless/Corded and COST are all things to take into consideration. http://www.kresta.com.au http://www.victory.com.au http://www.luxaflex.com.au http://www.sunway.com.au http://invisageinverloch.com.au Take your time and good luck with your decision....See MoreThe Ultimate Deep Cleaning Checklist for a Spotless Home
Comments (0)The Ultimate Deep Cleaning Checklist for a Spotless Home Introduction: Maintaining a clean and spotless home requires regular cleaning routines, but occasionally, a deep cleaning session is needed to tackle those neglected areas and achieve a truly pristine living space. In this blog post, we present the ultimate deep cleaning checklist to guide you through a comprehensive cleaning process, ensuring every nook and cranny of your home receives the attention it deserves. I. Preparing for Deep Cleaning Before diving into the deep cleaning process, gather all the necessary cleaning supplies and tools. This includes microfiber cloths, cleaning solutions, a vacuum cleaner with attachments, a mop, brushes, and any specialized cleaning products. Having everything at hand will streamline the process and prevent interruptions. II. Decluttering and Organizing Start by decluttering and organizing your home. Remove any unnecessary items, sort through cluttered areas, and tidy up spaces before deep cleaning. This step creates a clean and organized foundation for the rest of the process. III. Kitchen Deep Cleaning The kitchen is a high-traffic area that requires thorough attention. Clean inside and outside of appliances, such as the oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Wipe down cabinets, countertops, and backsplashes. Don't forget to clean the sink, faucets, and sanitize cutting boards and other food preparation surfaces. IV. Bathroom Deep Cleaning Deep cleaning the bathroom is essential for maintaining hygiene. Scrub the toilet, bathtub, and shower area with appropriate cleaning agents. Clean the mirrors, countertops, and sinks. Don't overlook cleaning grout lines, showerheads, and faucets. Lastly, mop the floor and wash the bath mats and shower curtains. V. Bedroom Deep Cleaning In the bedroom, focus on cleaning the bed linens, including sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers. Vacuum and rotate the mattress. Dust and wipe down furniture surfaces, including nightstands and dressers. Clean mirrors and windows, and declutter any items that may have accumulated on floors or surfaces. VI. Living Room and Dining Area Deep Cleaning Remove cushions and vacuum sofas and chairs. Dust and wipe down all surfaces, including tables, shelves, and entertainment centers. Clean electronics and wipe TV screens carefully. Vacuum or steam clean carpets and rugs, and mop hard floors. Don't forget to clean light fixtures and wash curtains or blinds. VII. Windows and Window Treatments Cleaning windows and window treatments can significantly enhance the overall appearance of your home. Wash windows from both the inside and outside, wiping down frames and sills. Dust or vacuum window blinds and wash or dry-clean curtains and drapes if needed. VIII. Floors and Baseboards Deep clean all types of flooring in your home, including carpets, hardwood, laminate, tile, or vinyl. Vacuum carpets thoroughly, paying attention to corners and edges. Steam clean carpets for a more thorough clean. Mop hard floors with appropriate cleaners. Don't forget to wipe down baseboards and remove any scuff marks. IX. Dusting and Cleaning Surfaces Dust and wipe down all surfaces throughout your home, including shelves, tables, countertops, and decorative items. Use microfiber cloths to capture dust effectively. Pay attention to hard-to-reach areas, such as ceiling fans, light fixtures, and vents. Don't forget to dust and clean door frames and handles. X. Final Touches As you near the end of the deep cleaning process, take a step back and assess your home. Address any remaining areas that require attention and do a final spot check for missed spots or smudges. Finally, enjoy the satisfaction of a spotless and fresh home. XI. Invest in cleaning service Keeping a clean and organized space is essential for a comfortable and healthy living or working environment. However, maintaining cleanliness can be a daunting and time-consuming task, especially for busy individuals or businesses with demanding schedules. This is where investing in aprofessional cleaning service can make a world of difference. In this blog post, we will explore the numerous benefits ofhiring a cleaning service and why it's a smart investment for your home or business. Conclusion: Deep cleaning your home is a labor-intensive task, but it is worth the effort for the remarkable results achieved. By following this ultimatedeep cleaning checklist, you can ensure that every corner of your home is thoroughlycleaned and maintained. Remember to pace yourself, enlist help if needed, and enjoy the rewarding feeling of a spotless living environment....See Morektuffy
