What would patios, balconies and gardens without colors, aromas and shapes, the interior spaces and, especially, the outer surfaces become soulless and cold. Once we have decided to plant varieties that populate our house, it is essential to choose the right pots or planters, especially in the terraces or on the porch, where we don’t have natural ground outdoors.

The pots allow us to create an artificial home for plants, thanks to the receptacle ground, while the planter offer the possibility of increasing the area of cultivation, and to organize the varieties we have chosen.

There are so many materials and shapes of planters as you want. From the traditional clay through metal and wood, all natural, varnished or aged, and, of course, different colors or decorated with ornamental motifs. But beware: Do not choose too showy or ornate trays: will also play on the natural beauty of your plants. And within the wide range of colors available, you must choose those tones that best suit the style of space.

Interior decorating with plants does not necessarily mean the house clutter of pots and multiple species. Sometimes simplicity is the most appropriate, convenient and functional. Few plants can be integrated without overloading the environment, help to highlight a piece of furniture or object without hiding and give a needed dose of nature in any interior.

Undoubtedly the decorative planters with bright colors or motifs to help them plant species look, illuminating also those with the lowest light and, of course, giving it a unique character to our winter garden. That’s why the pots must have a unique style
There are many indoor planters material options such as ceramic or glass and also forms: Some baskets simulations, others adopt square or rounded figures.

To make your space more beautiful, obviously you can create any kind of patterns and designs, perhaps the secret to make it play either fine lines, dots, circles, repeated geometric shapes, creating patterns and let your imagination and creativity.

In many cases, when you buy or rent a home, you have to settle for the tiles that someone else has chosen for you, and 80% of cases, we find white bathrooms or pastel shades. Actually this article is for those who are going to be choosing the color of the bath either because you are building your own home or because you are going to get into work for a total reform.

Today I bring several ideas to decorate your black bathroom, starting with the toilets and tiles. It is true that this decoration has seen mostly in restaurants and pubs, but that does not mean it is not attractive in a private home. I like how it looks black, as it gives peace of mind. That yes, if you live in a place where the water has a lot of lime, doesn’t even think to try.

In the bathroom on these lines we see a “Middle path” to the total black. While the walls are black and the floor of a brown is also quite dark, the interior of the tub is white exempt. Observe how he tried to light up the room visually by painting on the wall.

You can see a new interpretation of wall impact. In this case, the impact wall is black and the rest of the bathroom, it is white with some details on the other color. The toilets are of the traditional white porcelain with the exception of the toilet and the bathtub that is painted gray. Perhaps this could be an intermediate step for those not you should decide to post by the total black.

In summary, I encourage you to use simulation program settings to see what it will look the toilet if betting by black. Put the tiles and toilets of a color is a pretty permanent decision, because few people do work in the bathroom twice in the same house (more so hopelessly uncomfortable he is than for lack of desire). Yes, if you dare, but you want to remove your dark side, try these textiles, to furniture and the toilet seat, I will be cheaper and you will have to give to your tastes.

Today, with running times of crisis, families have to control their bill especially water cost. To try save a bit on the bill you start by avoid wasting the water consume at your home or try to use rain harvesting to supply the water need.

Harvesting the rain water is commonly used today . Normally water is collected from house roof and stored in rain water barrels and the water used for drinking, cooking, washing clothes, bathing, watering the plants, and many other uses.

Traditionally people use their old oil drums and put it outside the houses and use it as rain barrels to collect the rain water.

if your area have a good distribution of rain you can use the small containers but if not the larger container maybe needed. In the dry periods that there is no rain you may still have to collect water from traditional water source.

The quality of water in a rainwater system is a major concern. Typically, if the water is filtered as it enters the tank and stored in dark conditions, water quality is good and will improve with time. It is also recommended that during the first five minutes of heavy rain after a dry period, this water is disposed pushing the feeding tube to one side.

The facilities for rainwater harvesting must be insured against reflux, gas, sewer and animals  for example against rats, who like to move water from  tanks and to prevent the prevent mosquitoes from breed in the tank all openings part of the tank should be covered with mosquito mesh.

Today many shop offer rain barrels for sale but you have to carefully choose the best product that for better water quality. Afraid of using rain barrels because it will look bad for your home? it did not matter anymore because it’s been a lot of models to choose from and no longer shaped like a drum.
