If that's not the important thing, be disposed of or removed. Its application in a minimalist design, for example in the living room: sofa, coffee table, credensa may be sufficient. Carving ornaments are not essential to a minimalist style. Home decor such as paintings, vases of flowers, was chosen as little as possible. And placed as accents for the home is not boring. But it is also not full of goods. On the table may be a simple vase is enough. On the wall, one of two paintings and photographs may be more than enough.
2. You are more concerned with quality than quantity. A little but quality. Applied in the design means: instead of many goods, minimalist design just took a really useful and preferred.

The idea of ​​'vertical garden' to have a garden without land

House land narrow as it is used for residential spaces, sometimes almost no more land left in the house. What if we want to gardening such as planting tomatoes, chilies, etc.? At present, many people practice 'vertical garden' or in English: vertical garden. This method means that plants grow vertically by using several methods, such as using plants for pots arranged vertically, using a hydroponic medium is arranged vertically, as well as vines. vertical garden design using steel frames commonly used as material for steel in reinforced concrete. Design with reinforced steel frame can also be used to fence the front garden, balcony railing, and others using outdoor and indoor plants.

Cost depends on material and manufacturing costs of welding and artisans. The rest is a potted plant or hydroponic media.
For this type of fence or wall of 'green' with the concept of vertical gardens, we can also create a wall that was planted, for example by making alternating walls and plants. In this way we can enhance the side wall, rear wall, and exterior walls of our homes. Plants that are good for crops could be planted for daily necessities such as vegetables and medicines. In this way we can save the cost of monthly expenditure, as well as beautifying the environment around the house. We can also feel more comfortable and close to nature.

Maximize natural lighting in our homes

The energy crisis experienced by our country at this time resulted in a lack of electrical energy. More than 60% of electrical energy consumed by the settlement. Response to this, we need to promote energy conservation. When designing a house, energy saving should also be considered. One way to save energy is to reduce electricity consumption for lighting in daylight, so that no wasteful electricity. Another advantage is that it also saves money saving rental power. Steps to be taken is to maximize natural lighting (from sunlight). The sunlight coming through the window is determined by the large number and shape of the window. The size of the window is predicted to meet the need of sunlight. Elongated shape and above the window cause incoming light enough, but less good light distribution. Laterally elongated shape window is more effective to provide optimal lighting.
In addition, window coverings also contribute to light a dark room. Instead, the windows have curtains, or other coverings that can be set so that the lightness and darkness in the room can be arranged as well.
Materials shutters also play a role in the inclusion of lighting. Clear glass is the best material to pass light into the room, the light went up to 90%. Stained glass can reduce the light entering into a very small up to 10%, for example black glass. Opaque materials such as plastic, frosted glass or white glass fiber also absorbs light until only 30%. That is, the more nodes
glass, the more can go into the light. For space hidden or less lighting, better not wear colored or opaque glass.
In addition to the window cover material, other materials for consideration are finishing the walls, the color of furniture, ceiling and floor. Basically the best color to reflect light is white, so white wall very well to minimize artificial lighting. The black color is the worst color to reflect light, making the room darker. Pastel colors are often chosen because it is good enough to reflect light and feel of the room is warm.
Furniture also require attention to the color accordingly. The color of young furniture, such as pastel colors, will help reflect light better so that natural lighting is more effective. For the room is narrow and rather dark, light-colored furniture will help maximize the lighting.
In urban areas, because often the spaces did not get direct sunlight, the lighting a lot depends on the reflection of light from the surface of the ground, pavement or from the surrounding buildings. When this happens the steps that need to be taken is to maximize the reflection from the pavement or land use materials that reflect light well, such as white color to pavement that reflect light (reflect light up to 70%). The grass is not too good to reflect light (only 6%). This needs to be consulted with the architect in charge of home design.

For example, Microsoft Visio Technical (this is what I use because it is more user friendly), if more control can use autocad. Using Visio is enough, stay later how to explain the images into a design contractor and interior design contractor who will work on the house.
2. Drawings and plans at Home Design musyawarahkan first joint husband / wife and if necessary with parents / in-law and artisans. This is related to land use and can be a good room arrangement. This is very important in making a new home, because the concept of each person can vary, better discussed together.

Modern Home Design who want to be occupied will want durable and long lasting. Credibility is also important interior design contractor. Do not let the wrong choice and regret it later.
4. Create a letter of agreement on a paper about the house work with builders / contractors. This is important regarding the rights and obligations of each party. There are several types of contracts, there is a contract per meter building (bulk materials and wages), there is a per meter of wages (wage contract), and others. Use the most suitable to you.

If I was really a concern, because funding for Interior Design Services contractor that we have extremely limited. Can build up to stand alone we are very grateful, although there are still many pending its completion, here and there.
7. Choose a place to buy goods or materials are nice and cheap. Every seller must have a different price. You can just look that match the bag.

Sometimes the time of delivery delays, it can cause the material can not be done by the contractor and interior design services house so that the time spent on houses are often delayed. If possible, goods and materials had been prepared one or two days before the interior contractor to do it.
