Gardening November 29th, 2009
BAMBOO TREE not only interesting when set to decorate the park. Slender trunked tree that also contains a useful philosophy for human life. We can find cheap bamboo trees in the surrounding environment.
Very distinctive appearance, leafy with long stems and leaves that looks like a weed. When the wind blew, the sound of the friction characteristics of bamboo leaves emit its own. Trees can cool the house garden store philosophy that it’s either not known to many people. Bamboo, a change in “its form” slow, actually have the power at the root. One to three years, tree growth was considered too slow.
But, in fact during that period, the roots of the bamboo is growing rapidly so it has tremendous power. The growth of new bamboo looks significantly after four years, with roots that also thrives. In its fifth year, after growth of roots is completed, then the stems will appear.
Growing soared into the sky. The process of the bamboo tree of life contains the philosophical meaning for humans, ie, how strong foundation is necessary. According to the classification, bamboo plants belonging to the grass. However, bamboo is a grass spectacular. The height can be stretched from 30 cm to 30 meters. Bamboo is a grass plant is unique. Well, here’s the lesson. Although set in the grass plant, bamboo become different because of his character.
Usability and how to express themselves bamboo, making it a different grass plant. In the life of any background, we in fact is not decisive, but how we seek to express their own potential, no matter our background.
That is what eventually makes us incredibly personal. Bamboo trees also teaches us about flexibility. We seldom see a bamboo collapsed. In the midst of the fall of other trees whirlwind attack, remained rigid stand of bamboo.
In addition to its strong roots, the trunk is also able to sway with the wind. As a result, in bad weather and high winds, trees and bamboo can be swayed to the rhythm of the voice hissed out the wind. While other trees that have a larger trunk, just not the strength to face the wind. This is called flexibility.
Bamboo gramineae families belong, is also called the giant grass berumpun and consists of a number of stems that grows gradually. Start bamboo shoots, young stem, which reaches up to the age of 4 adults? 5 years. bamboo rod shape-book or segmented. He’s also the hard-walled, and in each overgrown buds or branches.
Bamboo-shaped roots and rhizomes segmented. Each book will be covered with fibers and shoots that can grow as rods.
According to Star Nugroho landscape architect, bamboo tree is a unique plant that is similar to the type of grass. The growth is gradual, but very fast. “The tree has a tall stem. Leaves the impression that such grass has its own unique,” explains Star.
Star added, if we plant these trees in the garden, tropical shades will be created. Occupancy would have felt even more cool and comfortable. According to researchers from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Elizabeth A Widjaja, in Indonesia there are 160 species of bamboo. A total of 88 bamboo species of which are endemic or unique species of bamboo found in an area. All types of bamboo that has a different value for the benefit of human life.
In addition to housing needs and household utensils or decorative plants, bamboo is one type of tree that is very good for the environment. “As a function of best environmental conservationists, we can prove that whenever there is a bamboo grove there, certainly there are sources of water,” he said.
So many unique bamboo trees that we encountered. By type, there is a type of bamboo bamboo rope, bamboo shoots, bamboo Gombong, Wulung bamboo, Japanese bamboo, and bamboo china.
Architect Ridwan Kamil disclose, Japanese bamboo trees usually have short stems, tend to be rare or not berumpun. “The high too easy for us to manage,” added Ridwan.
Beautiful Enhancer Tables & Chairs
Furniture November 23rd, 2009
CHOOSE complete with a desk chair is not hard work. However, sometimes these furniture sets did not seem as interesting as you see it in the catalog or store display.
If such a case, it’s easy. You just need to decorate with additional elements. Additional decorative elements for chairs and tables can be many things, like pillows or tablecloth.
“If you feel your new sofa or chair less attractive or if you want to make a long sofa or chair more trendy, small pillow accented with sarongs, colorful artistic and could give a different feel on the couch,” says interior designer Emmy Susianti.
Also, if you have a sofa which was initially soft, after all this time can be used sofa changing its form as well. Part where you lean back or sit on your part that often can form a basin which marks the foam on the damaged section.
“If indeed you do not have the budget to buy a new sofa, then do not force yourself to buy a new sofa. Simply re-decorating course. One way, yes it was, for example by adding a cushion to cover the basin area, “suggested an Emmy.
Do not forget to give these pillows with a glove that was funny and interesting. To better match, match with the theme of ethnic theme room, you can use batik pillow for example.
Meanwhile, interior design consultant Anggraeni Rani said that to create a beautiful impression on the couch, we can play with accessories like a sofa cushion (pad). Now, to bring the sofa cushion, there are some things that need attention. For example models, sizes, colors, and pillowcases.
Sofa cushions have a variety of models, such as balls, the crescent and star. There is also a sofa cushion or oval shaped box like a miniature pillow. Not only a sweet style, sofa cushion covers can also be equipped with image, motif, or even plain.
Sofa pillows may be placed in almost every room. Can in the living room, family room, bedrooms, or even the patio. Therefore, the selection model and pillow covers should be adjusted as a function of space and function rooms are definitely different.
In the living room’s atmosphere is more formal room, a sofa that is used most likely to shape the selected values so that the pillow is also more formal and simple, like a box or oval. Nevertheless, according to interior designer Erlavina, oval shape more suitable for long-carved chairs. “Therefore, choose the square with embroidery motif on the glove so it will look more beautiful on the couch,” he suggested.
Meanwhile, in the family room, which was chosen because it tends shaped sofa to relax, then the selection of pillows should be capable of providing a family atmosphere, warm and familiar like funny shapes and colors that vary according to desire occupants. If the pillow is a funny shape, say like the shape of an animal like a doll, pillow need not be wrapped because it would eliminate glove elegance appearance. However, if the pillow is plain, a glove that was funny, sweet patterned or embroidered can be inserted to make the pillow look increasingly attractive.
To beautify the look of the pillow, the color scabbard is also worth noting. The selection of colors can be adjusted or contrasted with the color of the sofa. “Actually, the color of the pillow or a holster there are two alternatives to choose from. Can a color contrast or even color to compliment the sofa, “says Erlavina.
However, for a plain sofa or white, he suggested, select cushion sofa with bright colors, playing the motif, or embroidered. For big events, selected pillowcases are embroidered to create a better impression of the living room is more elegant and regal.
Architect and owner Anita Millennia Furniture Buntarman added, the presence of the couch cushions to give a touch of its own to minimize the impression of stiff on the couch. Flexibility could create the impression by presenting a pillow.
As a space filler accent, Anita said, the usual pillow chosen is the standard size, ie, between 35-55 cm. However, the size of sofa cushions should be tailored to the respective proportions of the sofa, also tastes cushion occupants of the house in order to look capable of providing a neat and attractive scenery, not the opposite.
In addition to the shape and size of pillow, motifs and color gloves should also be considered because both would affect the look of the room where the sofa couch located. Yes, by the harmony of space, solid match to compliment it deserves to be realized. However, do not need to set one color to the room because the color of their derivatives or mix and match any colors that deserves to bear the harmonization sweet.

fence is one important element
Eksterior November 17th, 2009
OTHER THAN as a safety and home land boundary, the fence also has an aesthetic function. The fence can beautify the park and to provide more privacy to the owner of the house.
The fence is one important element in a house located on the outside (exterior). There are several types of fencing that can be applied. Wood fences, vinyl fences, iron fence, bamboo fence, concrete fence, until the live fences.
The trend in Indonesia is that most homes use an iron fence because it is stronger and able to protect homeowners from the increasingly rampant crime lately.
“The houses in Indonesia tend to have a minimalistic design. Rarely there is too much to take a particular theme. For flexibility reasons, too, finally an iron fence is more widely used.’s Iron fences can be combined with any theme,” said Irwan Soeryopati architect.
The importance of a fence can also be shown of how the people who passed in front of the house to see your fence. Fences can be a representative of the whole of your home.
“The fence is located right at the front, outermost. So the first people saw before the garden and the house is a fence. If the fence is good, people would be interested to see further inward, toward the garden and house. But, if baseball fence pulling, usually people will also see casually, “said Irwan.
Fences can also indicate someone territories, restricting land with each other, protecting the plants in your garden from the hands of ignorant is also a function of the fence. When choosing a fence, you should see the condition of the home and garden and the main purpose of manufacture.
“To house the tiny type, you should still do it high fence.’ll Even closed all his house. Select only the fence which is also tiny. Lho nice wooden fence to the little house. It felt so beautiful and ethnicity,” Irwan suggestions.
High fence, big, and looks “manly” would be nice and fit to house a large and extensive as in the elite housing. Despite the high fence, but because his house is also large, so it is still visible from the outside.
Condition of the park could be one consideration in choosing a fence. When your garden is a garden that was casual, just the grass or soil with plants improvise, choosing which type of fence can be a single meeting of tricks to cover up the lack of the park.
However, if you are the type of person who likes gardening and caring for plants, as well as your garden also includes beautiful gardens and beautiful into categories, you should probably choose a fence that looks somewhat estranged from one another.
“The fence is not going to cover the somewhat tenuous beauty of your garden. So, although you are restricted from the park fence, people can still see the elegance and beauty of your garden through the fence holes are somewhat tenuous,” beber Irwan.
Fences can also give them another look at the house without your having to dismantle or redesign pairs of your home. Simply change the color of the fence, the house already looks different. Nor will it cost as much if you renovate a house.
“If you have more budget, you can replace the fence, too. Suppose that you had to use an iron fence, the fence could be replaced with wood or vice versa,” says Irwan.
Whatever your idea of choosing a fence, which is important to adjust your home and your financial circumstances. Do not get over the beauty of the house and fence to make you bankrupt instantly.

At first people hesitated to use glass as a base for construction of houses as it seemed prone to rupture. However, with increasing technological sophistication, the glass in modern times such as these can be made more powerful, more secure, and efficient energy.
“Once the glass in the windows only to the extent of housing as a place and out of air and light. Now its use has been enabled as well as exterior interior architectural elements,” said Marina.
Glass as the exterior architectural elements, among others, applied to the facades of buildings, roofs, skywalks, entrances, revolving door, canopy, winter garden and glass house crop cultivation. All that allows sunlight to enter freely. Exterior appearance became more unique look. While for the interior, the glass used on stairs, hall walking, and the wall.
“There lho house all glass walls. But there are also combined with concrete walls,” said Marina.
The use of glass as a base for many of the buildings should compromise with the other aspects. Suppose condition for coolness and heat. Often happens in a greenhouse architecture is reversed effects, such as heat in winter and cool in summer.
Luckily there been progress in glass-making industry that also offer benefits to us. One example is the spectrum of glass with selective quality of the stream of light into the home without endangering or result in the loss of these residents as well as other home contents.
