Improving Your Office Image With A Graphic Wall

By Rob Hill

With the recession taking its toll on almost all kinds of businesses, companies need to pull out all stops when it comes to impressing customers and motivating employees. Showing that your business is flourishing by having a well decorated and done up office can do wonders for your business. This is because having a good looking office can make a very positive impression on your customers when they are looking for businesses that are successful and doing well in spite of hard times. If you have been thinking up of doing up your office for this or any other reason, then having a graphic wall is one of the best ways to go about it.

A graphic wall can make maximum impact with minimum expenditure when it comes to changing your offices dcor and image. So if you want to improve the look of your office, then your first choice should be nature or art themed graphic walls. If you are working with a limited budget, then you can go for a vinyl graphic wall with themes and pictures that suit your color scheme or dcor theme for dramatically changing the look of your office at a very low cost. This kind of wall is also a great option for you if you are faced with poorly finished walls in your office that paint cant improve much upon. Turning a poorly finished wall into a canvas for interior graphics is the best way of using a bad feature to your advantage.

You can also choose graphic walls that combine both text and graphics if you want your walls to serve a dual purpose. While the pictures will definitely add to the dcor, printing motivational quotes pertinent to your company or having an interior graphic wall that lists out your companys objectives, goals or mission statement will impart an air of professionalism to the environment while acting as an inspiration for employees.

While vinyl interior graphics can end up looking very classy and stylish if done professionally, companies that are not restrained by tight budgets can look into other interior graphic options like having Perspex, glass, canvas or fabric graphic walls. Interior graphics created using these materials can often act as conversation starters and ice breakers for your clients and customers, not to mention the fact that anybody visiting your office will be highly impressed with such a graphic wall.

Those more artistically inclined or businesses that are in the creative line might want to explore wall murals created out of unconventional and uncommon materials. This kind of graphic wall can end up making a huge impact to the whole dcor and image of your office.

One thing however, that you will need to ensure when you go for interior graphics in your office is that the graphic wall should be properly installed. Improper installation can often end up spoiling not just the look of the graphic on the wall, but the whole office area where it is put up. Shopping around for quotes, designs and looking at all available options will help you select an interior graphic that you will love and enjoy for years. At the same time, this will also help you get a good deal on your graphic wall!

Having A Beautiful Indoor Garden Anytime Of TheYear

By Thomas Fryd

There are many different variations and combinations that you can buy for your indoor garden. There are three important approaches you need to keep in mind when arranging your house plants:

1.) Separate pots that can be set up and moved around when needed.

2.) Tray or box arrangements can house a number of different types of plants that can be grown together.

3.) Terrariums can be smaller or the bottle variety and are easily mobile

For the novice, the easiest way to arrange plants are in separate pots. Each plant can be enjoyed and receive individual attention. The needs of the plant have to be taken into consideration and this increases its growing potential. The possibilities for arranging are endless. There are several different types of plant holders and shelf arrangements in stores, these are designed to assist you in arranging your indoor garden to its fullest potential.

You need to begin your project with a simple plan, go for individual pots instead of trying the more difficult window-box or pan arrangement. The smaller you keep your initial plan, the cheaper and safer it will be, and in the long run will provide you with the most satisfying results.

You are not restricted to only having your plants displayed in the same location. You can put some in your sunny kitchen window, or on a wide shelf. This is an ideal location for growing your plants but not much in the lines of showcasing them. But, you can always move them when they grow larger. If you can return them to the sunny kitchen window during the day, this is even better. You can set up a trailing ivy plant on either side of a fireplace mantle, this will brighten up a dining room side board as well. Plants add charm to any room. A geranium in your guest bedroom will be inviting to your guests.

If you want to experiment, you can find some very striking displays that can be made in a tray arrangement. You can set up a wide array of different bromeliad plants together, each in their own pot, in a large window box or tray. You can have a box specially built to under your picture window or sun porch. When grouping plants in a window box or in a tray, you can achieve some very dramatic and striking results. With wise choices and adept handling, the plants you use can make a miniature garden arrangement that will bloom year round. There can also be some potential problems with this type of arrangement though. Since you are grouping all your plants together, you must be sure that they all have the same environmental requirements to achieve optimum results. This does not have to be a problem you cannot overcome, because there is a large variety of plants that will do well together.

The third important point to remember is the planting arrangement. If you choose a terrarium, you will need to take a very different approach to your plant life.

In the middle of the 19th Century, an English botanist accidentally discovered that many wood plants will grow and thrive with very little effort, if kept in a sealed container. Terrariums can be used to grow moss, ferns and you can use almost anything made of glass, as your terrarium container.

From the standpoint of home decor, the hardest thing about terrariums is that the plants can be grown in them are very few, and because they are encased in glass, they do not add as much color to the room as other types of plants.

Whether you have room for just a couple of plants, or if you have the room to grow a large flower garden, the pleasure and enjoyment that comes from growing your own plants is immeasurable. You will enjoy your plants and so will anyone who visits your home.

Light at the Top: Kichler Lighting

By James Gilbert Pynn

Becoming the best at anything is a difficult proposition. The climb to the top is often arduous and fraught with competition and a fickle marketplace. So it is that I tip my hat to the indomitable Sam Minoff. In 1954, Mr. Minoff had the gumption to buy a little lighting company in Cleveland. The owner of the company, Leonard Kichler, asked Minoff to promise him he would never change the name of his beloved store. Furthermore, Kichler asked his commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction be extended to the customers he worked to please since 1938. With a handshake, Mr. Minoff took on the burden of building a better light bulb. Or at least a better light fixture.

The pillars are common enough: honesty, loyalty, and quality. What is uncommon was Sam Minoff's commitment to them. He transformed Kichler Lighting into the world's foremost decorative lighting fixture company. Hard work saw Kichler Lighting earn four ARTS Lighting Manufacturer of the Year awards " a distinct honor in the halogen-warm world of decorative lighting. Furthermore, Mr. Minoff was honored as a member of the Lighting Hall of Fame. Did you not know there was such a distinction? Sam Minoff knows. He is also the inaugural winner of the Arts Lifetime Achievement Award.

Sam Minoff kept his booming business in the family, hiring on his sons Barry and Roy to help. The company is dedicated to customer care, product value and design excellence. To that end, consumer surveys have consistently put Kichler at the top of the list when it comes to reliability, quality and ease of installation. This customer confidence has turned Kichler into a multi-million dollar enterprise.

The members of the design team are charged with creating stunning, functional works of art. They are commissioned to travel the globe in search of the latest trends, styles, designs and colors. A Kichler must stand the test of taste and time. To ensure their customers have a panoply of options to choose from, the Minoff family is constantly updating and renovating their inventory, without ever sacrificing quality.

A simple purchase made more than fifty years ago has has transformed the way we see our homes and ourselves. Kichler Lighting is dedicated to helping young designers (like myself) and do-it-yourselfers infuse their homes and offices with fixtures that will best express your taste, personal style and personality. Contemporary to traditional, casual to urban, Kichler can provide " Sam Minoff and his sons have made sure of that. Bless you, Sam!

Concrete Decorative Color How To's

By Mikkan Drane

Although you may have a color in mind already, and a vision of what you want, choosing the right color for your concrete floor can still be a little bit confusing. For first timers on choosing the right color, the color of the wall and the surrounding can weigh a lot more than you can imagine. These things are actually the ones to be taken in consideration before deciding, and there's quite a few more to think about.

There are a few easy tips to consider when choosing the color for your concrete floor. The first advise there is actually is to, take your time. It is very important that you give yourself enough time to think about what you want and to be able to skim through details and information that would help you with your decision. Do not hurry too much as it might end up in a disaster.

The next thing to consider is to keep a sample handy. When you go out to check on the stores for the designs, color, and style that you want, a few color pieces used within the room where the flooring will be fixed should be brought along. This way you will be able to compare the effects of the colors all together, making it easier for you to decide.

Browsing through magazines or looking through already installed concrete decorative floors may help a lot in inspiring you on what you would want to have for your own place. This will make it easier for you to choose, especially with the color palettes already matched in place. Simply choose from the already available designs and have it imitated in your own place.

Besides the floor color, you should also consider the floor finish that you want for your concrete flooring. The floor color of your choice should as well match and compliment the finish that you want from it. Everything should be in order before finally deciding on what to do for your concrete polishing needs.

When everything had been considered and taken care of, you'll probably have a better grasp at what you would want to be the end result for your concrete slab. With all the possibilities and designs, you should be able to appreciate whatever comes out from your decision. Keeping a positive outlook still is the best way to appreciate outcomes especially those you consider a work of art.

Ding Dong Burglar in your home

By Scott Chalmers

Your home is at risk all the time however during hot days people become more careless and the security risk to your home rises. It is amazing to see how careless people are when it comes to security in the home. The number of people who leave spare keys under the door mat, above the doorframe or even under a plant next to the door. In some instances your insurance may not cover a break-in if you have done this so you may not be insured after all.

It's a hot day and like millions of people you open a few windows but make sure you close them before you go out. Even if you think you will only be five minutes think about how much a thief could steel in that time. The last thing you want to do is return and find someone in you home.

Garden furniture and tools cost a lot of money and thieves know this as well. Make sure you keep it out of sight from passers by otherwise you might as well put a big sign on it saying 'I'm expensive come and steal me and don't forget to checkout the valuables inside' Try and give the thieves the impression there is nothing worth stealing and that if they do you have the security systems in place to prevent and catch them.

For simplicity and as a cheap solution a door entry system offers a quick way to protect your home. There are two types of door alarm, one is attached to the door with a small sensor at each side. Every time the door is opened the alarm goes off so you know someone has come in. The other option is a small battery operated motion sensor alarm, which can be placed above or aimed at the door.

Rather than be bothered by the kids going in and out for drinks you could put a motion sensor just outside the kitchen so if anyone went any further into your home you would know. The battery motion sensor offers greater flexibility as you can position it at patio doors or in a hallway.

Buy buying one or more of these simple mini alarms with motion sensors you can quickly set them up and improve the safety of your home. Most can be set to chime so you know someone has gone past or you can set this to continuous alarm so you know someone is somewhere you don't want them to be including the children.

Another great way to use these mini sensors is on vacation so you know someone is not in your room whilst you are asleep. The last thing you want is to wake up with an intruder standing over you.

Most crime is committed by opportunist thief who will take any chance you give them to steal from you. If you do not give them the opportunity to make you a victim they will move on to someone who will. Remember it is better to prevent a crime, so call your local police station for crime prevention advice.
