White Rooms Decoration

Psychology
Colour psychology is the science behind how we feel in different coloured environments. Green and blue will make us relaxed, red and oranges fire us up and make good colours for rooms where conversation needs to be lively, yellow makes us happy or quite strangely, very argumentative. But what does white mean?

White is pure, it is clean and crisp, it can be cold but it can also be very comforting. It all depends on what goes with it- which is why people choose it, because they think it goes with everything. But does it?

Ill-thought-through white rooms will look bland, or clinical - or worse still - both. However, there are rules that help make the most of white walls and by using them, white will be at home in any house, be it contemporary, cosy cottage or period.

The right white
There are many different white paints to choose from and while you may be forgiven for thinking this is just a cruel marketing ploy, there is actually a reason. Each white will look different depending on whatever else it is being used with. Some period whites are positively grey but they will look white against other sludgy type colours. A pure white will look beautiful in a south-facing room but use it in a north facing room and it will feel cold and stark. So you see it is important to choose the right white. Read More...

Kitchen Floor Materials – Weighing the Options

Beyond style and aesthetics one should bear in mind price, durability, maintenance and ease of installation. The main contenders in this race for the flooring prize are stone, wood, ceramic tiles and vinyl flooring.

In the first place it is easy to rank the materials according to price. Basically, stone, whether it’s sandstone, slate or some form of marble will be very costly. Wood varies enormously – wide, reclaimed French farmhouse boards are very dear and thin slivers of oak on a plywood base aren’t if one is prepared to shop around a bit. Ceramic tiles are comparable with the lesser end of the wood world depending on size of tile. By far the cheapest option is vinyl floor tiles, although there too there is a wide range in terms of cost and corresponding quality.

In terms of durability the same rankings will apply; it will take decades to go through a stone floor and similar for solid wood but laminates wear out comparatively quickly as do some types of vinyl flooring, although some more expensive types do wear well. Ceramic tiling is immensely durable right up to the point you drop an iron casserole on it and then it’s ruined.  Essentially, when it comes to ultimate longevity you get what you pay for but it is worth bearing in mind that a floor surface in a modern domestic situation probably doesn’t need to last five hundred years.
