Sunlight Considerations for your Windows

Navin — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 12:57:05 +0000

Sunlight Considerations

Sun, as well as dust and grime, is destructive to fabrics. Light color fabrics generally reflect sunlight and resist fading. Dark colors absorb light and fade. Use lined window treatments, blinds, or shades to protect fabrics from the sun.

Acrylic and polyester stands up to sunlight better than other textile fibers and will retain color over time. Cotton, rayon, and acetate offer slightly less sun resistance. Acetate often is blended with silk or cotton to make it more sun-resistant.

Special Tip: If your windows face west or south, particularly if you live in a warm climate, consider professionally installed window film to diminish the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays.

Drape vs. Curtain

When is a "drape" really a "curtain"? Although the terms drapery and curtain are often used interchangeably, there is a technical difference.

Curtains are made of lightweight fabrics and most often are unlined and operable. Draperies extend to the floor, tend to be lined, and are sewn of heavier fabric.

Do you have an increasing need to deal with limited space? Are you on a mission to ensure no space is wasted? Would you like to create an expansive living area? The answer lies in selecting suitable space saving furniture.

Economical yet classy space saving furniture allows you to make the most of a room and helps in creating a feeling of space. Take a look at how to maximize space, increase functionality of an area by choosing space saving furniture that offers multi-functionality. Get practical - specialize in the art of creating an illusion of more space. With a little work, you can optimize home space with stylish and smart space saving furniture.

The first step

Initiate the process of selecting space saving furniture by making an assessment of the space:

The area and shape of the room
Wall color
Function of the room (current and future use)
Existing set-up (furniture and upholstery)
Essential furniture (with exceptional values like antiques)
Total furniture replacement or partial only
Your style – formal, casual or chic
Willingness to mix styles in rooms
Frequency of changing set-up
Use for detachable/undetachable furniture
Tailor-made or custom designed furniture
Budget

Selecting space saving furniture

Do not purchase furniture solely on floor plan.
Take possession of new home, live-in space and buy furniture.
Give importance to functional aspect and then the aesthetic appeal.
Avoid purchasing bulky furniture pieces and opt for small pieces
As much as possible, select neutral colors (light color furniture, walls, floors etc can make a room seem bigger)
While buying sofas/chairs consider the height of family members so that it is comfortable for all.
Select chairs and sofas with open arms and exposed legs. Makes room appear big and airy.
Shop smart for dual-purpose furniture.
Select furniture with built-in storage, a great way to get more free space.
Look for furniture that can be minimized or maximized when the need arises.

Arranging space saving furniture

Place the biggest piece of furniture against the longest wall.
Try and arrange furniture in a manner that no wall is swallowed up entirely by one piece of furniture.
Remember to create balance in floor area. Do not overcrowd one part and leave the other completely vacant.
Place smaller piece of furniture against smaller wall.
Aim to have some balance space left on either side of the furniture
Accessories like lamps; table etc should be fitted in the leftover space after placing larger items.
Give ample room to walk. Keep furniture in the center of the room to the minimum.

Options for space saving furniture

Foldable, expandable, retractable, inflatable, stackable or collapsible - space saving furniture is all of this and more! The primary objective is to adjust furniture size to meet the practical need of space. Functional aspects and utility factor influence the decision-making process. Every space conscious customer has the advantage of choosing from an array of amazing innovations. A smart selection can convert bedroom into home offices or den and then back into a bedroom again as and when one requires.

Loveseats vs. sofa: The flexibility in selecting 2 loveseats in place of a huge sofa is that it can be used together or separately- in the living room, family room, and den or in the bedroom.
Sofa cum bed: Serves dual purpose both as seating arrangement and also a bed when not in use.
Stool cum table: Purchase a stool that can double-up as a table when required.
