Would love some help with my living room - small beach house
Comments (7)I recently decorated our beach condo on a budget. Items to consider are bowls or clear glass vases with found shells displayed. Sisal rug and woven baskets make a coastal feel. The baskets are great for storage as well. I used white light and linen drapes found at ikea.Because of small size of room, i have glass tables to help maximze space. I am adding shutters found at a flea market as headboard for guest bedroom this year. I found many useful items from community sales. I frequent local beach decor shops some pricey to get ideas for arranging and adding items. I would put couch so can look out window to garden. Put it floating in the center of the room, Tv on wall. Two chairs sort of where they are now in photo. Small table and chairs located near door and kitchen. Looks like not much space there but look at ikea furniture as it is for small spaces. One ikea table is shown to be against wall and then pulls out to enlarge, it might work for you....See MoreHave Small Space in Your Home- Try out Vertical Gardening
Comments (0)As the concrete buildings are expanding day by day, more and more people are realizing the importance of greenery around. As most of the urban homes are shrinking in size, the room for the gardens is becoming scarce. However, the true garden lovers can find a way around to see slight greenery in their home through vertical gardening. The vertical gardens are the best alternatives for those who are not having lots of horizontal space in their home or they want to do something different than the traditional gardening. This gardening option is also an eco-friendly way to turn the boring wall inside your living room othe r balcony into something that is really praiseworthy. Apart from this, you can also turn the vertical wall into an edible garden where you can grow fruits and vegetables. What Is A Vertical Gardening? It is a highly productive and innovative system that growly vertically. This type of garden grows vertically rather than growing horizontally. In the traditional way of gardening, most of the gardeners use the climbing plants like the squashes and the beans. But in the case of the vertical gardens, the concept goes a little further where the gardeners use the horizontal plans in a vertical way. The vertical gardens take less space and they are easy to harvest. They are also easy to maintain as well. Some of the factors that you need for the vertical green walls are- You require enough sunlight If they are placed too high, they are difficult to maintain. Do not make them taller so that you cannot reach. Keep them at a height where you can reach. The support system should be strong enough to hold the structure and everything for longer time. The supporting system should be made in such a way that it holds the moisture in between the garden and the vertical wall of the room. Thus, it can be stated that vertical gardens are one of the most productive gardening systems. Homeowners, who are having less space for gardening, can utilize their vertical walls for growing the plants. There Are Certain Benefits Of Using The Vertical Gardens, They Are As Follows- Plants are easy to reach. Thus, it makes the fertilizing, pruning, watering and harvesting much more easily and also saves the money. Using the plants up and above the ground helps in improving the air circulation. The plants get less susceptible to diseases. It also helps in reducing the damage caused by the pets and the animals. Research also proved that the vertical gardening also helps in improving the air quality inside the room. These are some of the top advantages of using the vertical green walls at home. If you love gardening and but have less horizontal space in your home, you can definitely choose this type of gardening method....See MorePOLL: Big house with small backyard or smaller house with a big yard?
Comments (36)I have a relatively small but very well designed house of 160M2 on a block of 1000M2. We get lots of northern light in all the right places. Garden views and connection from every room and plenty of borrowed views. Outdoors we have space for produce gardens, fruit trees, outdoor patio and BBQ area, a fire pit, play space and a native garden. We also have a large, private courtyard off the master bedroom and a small one off the en-suite bathroom. And utility spaces to the south (washing line, hot water, outdoor compressors for air con, garden sheds etc). Internally we have 3 bedrooms, a study and open plan kitchen/dining/kitchen plus small activity area for the kids. None of the rooms, other than the activity area are poky. Because it is well designed there is no wasted space, and it flows really well, accomodating two adults and 2 teens while providing a good balance between connection and privacy. Ample ceiling heights, 2.4m high windows and sight lines that connect with the outdoors means it feels spacious despite its relatively compact size. It’s such a joy to live in this house. It feels like the goldilocks house. Not too big, not too small. Just right....See MoreSmall Beach house--Gut upstairs and redesign Downstairs..will it work?
