Today, bright colors, bright decor are used with much more ease than ever. Paint the walls in colors like purple, orange or yellow color is quite common and does not sound as crazy as it might happen not too many years ago.

But to paint the walls with bright colors and achieve a pleasing effect have to be very clear how these colors and what is the effect produced, to plan properly the impact we want in our environment.

In order not to overburden of colors and the feeling that can lead to saturation, it is good to define one or two colors are always combined with neutral colors like white, beige or other pastel shades that will help offset the weight of these colors more intense.

Thanks to technological advances, today we can improve our quality of life in many ways. Referring to architecture and design, we discussed the concept of “automation.” Home automation is an automation system from home. A connection between all electronic devices within a home, you are directed to a switch, which can be remotely controlled by a cell phone or a computer, among others.

This proposal seeks to increase the comfort, safety and energy savings, our homes. A better understanding of how this system works, we will explain the following chart.

Our aim is to control the various electronic devices that are in the house, so first we need a “controller.” This will manage the system in accordance with orders received. There may be one or more drivers. As shown in the image, which receives information from the “sensors” and transmits the order to “actuators??”

Actuators are complying with orders given by the controller, simple functions like on / off or opening and closing. The sensor is one that captures all types of environmental signals, as shown in the picture, a presence detector, rain, etc…, in providing information to the controller, so that this in turn, is directed to the actuator, and so we can do everything you are told.

For the operation of this whole cycle, it is necessary to “bus”, the transmission by which the information leading to various devices that make up this home network, this can occur for other networks such as telephone systems or wireless. In addition, to interact with this network, we need the “interface”, which refers to devices such as screens, controllers, mobile, show us the information necessary for such interaction.

Inside the housing, the light intensity decreases as we move away from windows. Generally used for indoor plants are adapted to live with low light intensity (than shadow tolerating). The Philodendron and Eppipremun, green and variegated pouts, can live in darker rooms. The Chamaedorea Aglaonema and withstand low light. In contrast, plants with colored foliage such as croutons, Coliseum and those flowers should be next to the windows, requiring high luminosity.

In an intermediate position can be located as the Kentia palm and aroids as Dieffenbachia and Spathiphyllum. Keep in mind that today it is possible to supplement natural light with lamps suitable for the growth of plants, such as daylight tubes or lamps Giroux, which have a spectrum suitable for vegetation. Another item to consider is the temperature; the optimum for indoor plants is 20 to 25 degrees. It is important that they be not exposed to drafts.

Irrigation is usually once a week in winter, and 2 times in summer. The plants used for interior decoration are the palm (Areca, Kentia and Chamaedorea), ferns (as nephrolephis) Tracheae (spatyphyllum, type coves with white flowers, variegated leaves with large dieffenbachia, pouts, symposium, including hanging), bromeliads (Ache, Insularism, Guzman with beautiful colors) and spurge flowers (Poinsettias, poinsettia or croutons, Coliseum).

Floral Arrangements

Another option for decorating rooms is to use the flower arrangements that bring color and beauty of the flowers. Can be performed with own garden flowers that will vary with the seasons: for example, yellow lilies in spring, which may be accompanied with green and yellow variegated foliage as ligature tetanus and flexible branches bride’s crown. Alternatively, the roses, over the spring, summer and autumn offer their beautiful and fragrant flowers.

In addition, daisies and lilies are useful for combining with different foliage. In winter, the acacia trees with their yellow flowers are also an interesting resource. With flowers purchased in the shops, there are many more possibilities: the long lasting astrometry, the lisyanthus, carnations, chrysanthemums, gypsophila, pink and greens several can be combined according to their color and volume. In this sense, simpler ones, made with a single species, are replacing the classic floral design and delicate flowers. For example coves with long poles, sticks of lilies, irises, astromelias, or bouquets of daisies of different colors.

When designing a room for children, it is necessary to note that slice up the space needed, we should distinguish clearly the place of rest, play and study. When the room is not big enough, good use of multifunctional furniture. These are characterized by storage space, leaving nothing in sight. Many are modular, so that many can be transformed, so that is most convenient to leave the space free of obstacles.

As for the decor, everything is combined based on children’s tastes. Both the colors and the details and accessories are unique to each. Then I leave some images to be used as reference in order to acclimate the fourth of his boys.

In the first and second picture, we see a good example for baby furniture, which later were adapted to the needs of the child, turning into a bed with desk. Ideal for girls as where there are few square meters. The furniture is well-defined place of rest to the study. In the next photo shows a similar pattern, but for larger spaces. Another option for small spaces, are bunk. There are models, which are foldable, which during the day can be used as chairs and at night as a bed.
