June 13, 2011

In seeking replacement area rugs for your wall to wall carpet or current floor coverings, there are a few things to consider, depending on where you plan on placing them. The balcony and entryway are both places where you want comfortable, attractive rugs, but you must also keep in mind that these are both places that may see moisture and even dirt and mud. This means you should find a rug that is able to withstand these elements and is easy to care for.

Balcony rugs are ideal for creating a comfortable, homey place to enjoy the outdoors. If you live in an apartment or condo, especially, your balcony may be the equivalent of your deck or backyard, so when you choose to eat dinner or have an evening cup of coffee on your balcony, you want to make the most of that time. A balcony rug can make a huge difference. The design of the rug will add to the aesthetics of the area, which is really like an outdoor family room, and the texture of the rug will help in preventing slips and falls, which can be dangerous when the balcony is on the second floor or higher. A rug on your balcony will also provide warmth for your stockinged or bare feet, adding even more comfort to your time spent there.

The balcony, of course, is outdoors, and even if there is a roof, it is going to experience some moisture from precipitation, dew, and frost. The Imports Unlimited “White Polka Dots” Hand-Woven Outdoor Rug, sold at shopnbc.com, is made for just this kind of atmosphere. It is made from Coir, a fiber found on the outside shell of a coconut. It is moisture resistant and will not mold. You can enjoy the comfort and design of this rug without concern about the outdoor elements.

Entryway rugs may be placed just outside the front door or just inside, but either way, it is going to see some moisture and dirt. A rug at your entryway serves two purposes. First, it is your home’s first impression. Visitors who enter your home see this rug as the first sampling of the décor and upkeep of your house, so you want it to be attractive and well kept. It is also the guard house, of sorts, against wet shoes and outerwear. Visitors will wipe their feet, take off their shoes, and drop their umbrellas on this rug, so it must be durable and easy to clean.

The La Rug RUARTo Art Area Rug is a great example of an ideal entryway rug. It is sold at atgstores.com, and comes in a wide array of sizes so you can fit any size entryway. The tight striped design of browns and earth tones will not immediately show soiled and spotted areas, and the polypropylene fibers with which is made are easy to clean and are water resistant so they will not absorb the moisture. The modern design makes a great first impression, as it guards your home against the elements being tracked in by all who enter.

Some Asian Furnishing Ideas For Your Home Or Office

June 3, 2011

You don’t have to replace all of your furniture and accessories to give your home, office, or restaurant a decorative boost. A few strategically placed Asian furnishings can add a characteristic Oriental flair. Whether you maintain a generally modern or traditional décor, you will be thrilled with the overall results from considering a few new decorating ideas.

Starting from the bottom up, you can start with your Asian floor coverings. While the first thought may be of traditional Oriental area rugs with bright floral designs in deep rich colors, there are additional options for a contemporary look and a comfortable feel. You can choose wool or polypropylene rugs that feature designs such as Japanese style pagodas, Chinese style calligraphy, or even scenes from the nature of the Far East. Other, more unique items are made of sisal or bamboo.

Atop these beautiful floor coverings you may choose to place Asian tables, chairs, or even a bed. Tables come in a range designs. Some are simple wooden coffee tables and end tables with pretty carvings, while others are intricate and extravagant buffet tables and bedside stands with bright colors and brilliant accents. Chairs come in many of the same options, in Korean or Thai style. You may choose an antique chair with complex carvings or a modern chair with foam stuffing, upholstered in a bright black and red Asian design.

Asian beds give your bedroom a serene, idyllic feel. Some are close to the floor, much like the traditional tatami mats of traditional Japan. Others are simply hardwood beds with beautiful carvings on the headboard and footboard. Whether you choose a simple bed or an extravagant four poster bed, you will love the Eastern spin it gives your bedroom.

Asian lamps might adorn your tabletops and bedside tables. Table lamps feature detailed Asian scenes around the outside of the bases or wooden bases with intricate carvings and decorative shades made of silk. You might also enjoy lighting that is hung from the walls or from tracks installed in the ceiling. Most of these fixtures include frosted or opaque glass to soften the glow of the light and add an oriental ambiance to the room.

Next you can add wall hangings, available through suppliers that specialize in home furnishings or retailers that sell Oriental accessories. Asian mirrors add a sense of space and light to any room, and when you add frames in the style of Chinese or Japanese artistry, the results are beautiful. Other potential wall hangings are Asian wall fans. These fans are larger versions of the iconic Asian fans carried by Geishas and high class women. These fans are generally made of silk or canvas, and they feature brightly colored scenes, like waterfalls, hillsides, birds, and busy Asian villages.

From your ceiling you may choose to extend Asian ceiling fans. These fans are generally made of bamboo or rattan, and they offer a natural look reminiscent of the artistry of China, Korea and Thailand. While they generally appear simple and natural, most models are modern in their functioning, using a remote control and offering multiple speeds, making any residential setting more comfortable.

Get Your Laundry Done Faster and More Efficiently with Convenient Laundry Room Options

June 3, 2011

When you think about equipping your laundry room, you generally consider the basics: your washing machine and dryer, an ironing board and iron, and maybe some laundry baskets. There are, however, many other laundry room options that can make your laundry tasks easier and quicker, and if there is a tool that can allow you to spend a little less time on laundry, then it just might be worth consideration.

If you think about all the times you enter and exit your laundry room, you will realize that you seldom do so without your hands full. You carry in stacks of dirty clothes, ironing, and mending. When you leave, you have baskets full of folded clothes to be put away and so on. This generally leaves on hands free for the light switch. On the way in, you must enter in the dark until you set down your load; on the way out, you promise yourself you will return to turn off the light, and maybe about half the time, you do. Indoor motion sensor lighting is reasonably priced and easy to install, and more importantly, you don’t have to free up a hand to flip a switch.

The Smarthome Wireless INSTEON Motion Occupancy Sensor connects to your own lights and lamps, turning them on when you enter the room. You have the ability to set the system so that it waits a preset period of time after motion stops to turn the lights off. You may choose 2 minutes or up to a half hour. You can find this product at homedepot.com.

A sensitive and efficient unit, the Heath Zenith Motion Light Set with Dual Brite can detect motion up to 240 degrees from the sensor. This light kit operates on two AA batteries but pushes power up to 800 watts, allowing you to illuminate your laundry room in whatever way you please. This is a popular item, sold by a number of retailers, including sears.com.

Of course, ease and convenience can come in much simpler form as well. No home should be without a few reusable laundry bags. They fold flat and are easy to store out of the way when not in use. However, they are a great tool to be able to handle a teenager who cannot get a grip on his dirty clothes in his room, or to take when you travel to collect dirty laundry. When you return, the bag goes straight to the laundry room, and when it is empty, you can toss it in the washing machine with the rest of the wash.

For the home or apartment Metro Laundry Bags are attractive and convenient. This product is available in three colors and have a durable shoulder strap, allowing it double as a duffel bag on a weekend or an overnight trip. It is made of heavy duty canvas and will withstand multiple trips home from the dorm, to the Laundromat, or up and down the flight of stairs to the laundry room.

Hospital and School Mats Protect Employees, Patients, and Students

June 3, 2011

Hospitals and schools are two commercial settings in which commercial floor mats can be used for a variety of reasons. Both employ many people who must spend lots of time on their feet, from doctors and nurses to teachers, cafeteria workers, and custodial staff. Additionally, both have functions in which their patrons, their patients or students, will also have need for the variety of benefits provided by these mats.

Autoclavable Anti Fatigue Mats are ideal for areas in the hospital that where standing is the prominent activity each day. Nurses’ stations, labs, and pharmacies are just a few areas of a medical center where employees might be experiencing back and leg pain from standing for a prolonged period of time. These mats, sold at xpressmats.com, are made from a patented material called Nitrile, that is a rubber like foam. This material absorbs the impact of walking a provides a cushion beneath the feet that protects the back and neck from the strain of prolonged standing. Additionally, these mats are treated and are 100% antimicrobial. This is important in an environment that is constantly fighting the added danger of germs and bacterial carried in on the bottoms of shoes and boots.

MegaFlex Tile is a different kind of mat. These interlocking hospital mats are ideal for pediatric play rooms and physical therapy areas, because they connect together to form a stationary flooring that can be configured as you deem fit. These mats are made from recycled rubber and fit together seamlessly to create a spongy surface on which to walk or even play with diminished impact on the muscles and joints.

Of course, schools are very different from hospitals, but they have similar needs. Both are areas in which employees must spend hours a day on their feet, and both are places that require safe, sanitary conditions for their patrons. In the case of schools, their patrons are students, not patients, but the spread of germs and fear of injury are just as real. For this reason, school mats have been carefully designed to meet the needs of those working and learning within the walls of the educational facility.

Locker runner mats, sold at babycakesplus.com, were designed for preschool and elementary classrooms in which students keep their coats and outerwear in an area somewhere in the classroom, but they are equally effective in the hallway. Snow boots, rain boots, and shoes bring in water, slush, and lots and lots of debris and leave them all over the floors, making the classroom and hallway floors hazards for accidents and harbors for germs and bacteria. Locker runner mats, strategically placed in front of the areas where children remove and stow their outerwear, trap moisture and impurities from outdoors and prevent potential injury and illness.

Serving double duty, Play and Learn Soft Tile Interlocking Foam Mats are interlocking school mats that give children a safe place to play that is cleaner and safer than the floor. These mats also provide educational benefits because they are brightly colored and include interlocking pieces that represent the letters of the alphabet and numbers from 1 through 9. They are found at rehabmart.com.
