HRJOHNSON"S ATLAS COLLECTION

Basic Kitchen Layout Plans:

1) The basic kitchen layout plans that will help you design and renovate your kitchen are:

• one-wall kitchen design,
• corridor style,
• L-shaped kitchen design,
• double L-shape kitchen layout, and
• U-shape kitchen design.

2) Kitchen renovation means arranging your kitchen design into something that will better suit your needs and improve the flow of the kitchen. To help you decide what you need, we provide you some basic kitchen layout tips:


          a) If your kitchen space is long and narrow, then we recommend a one-wall kitchen design. It will give  you the most reasonable cost for renovating your kitchen. This will allow you to most efficiently use your limited amount of kitchen space. A one-wall kitchen design may not be the most artistic kitchen lay out, but it is the most practical one.


       b) The corridor style kitchen design is based on the "classic kitchen triangle". It is a very functional layout compared to that of a one-wall kitchen design. It is also an affordable layout plan that maximizes available counter spaces. However, this layout plan tends to cause crowding and traffic congestion because of the parallel working areas.


     c) A popular basic type of kitchen layout is an L-shaped kitchen design. It is a practical kitchen plan that provides more area for you to work on minimizing traffic while working in the kitchen. The surfaces are arranged in a L design which follows the classic kitchen triangle for the placements of the fridge, sink, and stove. The more counter space is added, the longer the distance will get for the kitchen triangle.


   d) If you want to have a kitchen with generous working stations, then a double L-shaped layout will work for you. For kitchens with larger space, this type of layout plan provides a smaller L and larger L surfaces to work on. This design type provides more counter top spaces than any of the basic layout plans.

    e) A U-shaped kitchen design is a layout similar to that of a corridor-shaped kitchen but with a closing end. This design provides ample space and functionality. It also follows the practical arrangement of the classic kitchen triangle. The closing end can be utilized as extra space for other equipment.

Appliances like microwaves can fit in the workspace or underneath overhead cabinet space.The refrigerator is another appliance that needs to be taken into consideration. They are available in a few different sizes now and can be purchased smaller to fit the overall design plan.

Cabinets:

Increasing the value of of your home.

When it comes to home improvements there are various things you can do that can increase the overall look & value of your home.

Home Decore

Most of us look for little tricks and tips that are easier on their purse and can still raise the overall value of your home.

Some of the small, but unique, things that can be done to increase the value is cleaning. When you keep things clean, you are helping to keep them functional and repair free.

Bathroom Tiles

If you take your bathroom, for example; by keeping the toilet, sinks, and bath or shower clean, you won’t have to worry about replacing them when they break or fall apart.

Instead of going out and purchasing harsh chemical cleaners, you can use white vinegar and citrus juice to get that professional quality shine and clean smell for your bathroom. This also controls germs and bacteria that grow.

Other things that can increase the value of your home - a new flooring. This can do a great job of raising the value of your home.You can even put a coat of paint, both inside and outside as a value increasing home improvement.

Bathroom Tile Layout Ideas

There are many different Tile Layout styles you can use, including tiles that mimic the look of something else.

Bathroom Tiles

For Instance, Brickwork:Brickwork is a unique way to change the look of your bathroom.
This tile layout idea consists of larger tiles that look like the brick.
When laid along the wall in your bathroom or placed around your mirror, it looks like there's brick, but it's actually ceramic or glass tile.
There are tiles that are made from recycled glass, which comes in both lighter and darker colors.
These tiles are also sometimes made to mimic metal pieces, which can give your bathroom a slightly cooler feel.

Yet another Bathroom tile layout pattern can be the "Mosiac" pattern.

Bathroom Tile

A mosaic tile layout works best when used in small doses, such as around your mirror or placed around the bathtub. The advantage of using a mosaic tile layout is that you don't need to spend a lot of time worrying about what goes where. You can use any shades that work with the rest of your bathroom and in any size.
Some architects even use several shades of tiles and break those tiles into different pieces to create a unique and interesting pattern.

Bathroom Tile Layout Ideas

Bathroom Wall Tiles

There are many different Tile Layout styles you can use, including tiles that mimic the look of something else.
For Instance, Brickwork: Brickwork is a unique way to change the look of your bathroom.
This tile layout idea consists of larger tiles that look like the brick.
When laid along the wall in your bathroom or placed around your mirror, it looks like there's brick, but it's actually ceramic or glass tile.

These tiles are also sometimes made to mimic metal pieces, which can give your bathroom a slightly cooler feel.

Which Tiles for your Bathroom.

Choosing the right tile can add distinctive style to your bathroom..Few reasons why CERAMIC TILES is a popular choice:

1. Its durabile and doesn't need replacing for many years.
2. It's resistant to damp.
3. Ceramic tile is affordable as it can be purchased in precut squares from most hardware stores including Johnson Tiles outlets.
4. They come in a wide variety of colors
5. Some ceramic tiles are made to look like marble.

Kitchen Re-modelling? Some suggestions to make it a comfortable, efficient & fun place as it is one of the most-used areas of the home.

1. There should be separate receptacles for garbage, cans and bottles, and paper and cardboard. Ideally, these containers should be pullout spaces within the  design of the cabinets.
The easiest way to incorporate this green idea is to retrofit the bins into existing kitchen cabinets. These pullout attachments are available at do-it-yourself home-improvement stores.

2. Include deep cabinet drawers or a pullout shelf for items such as pots and pans and other small appliances. Having the small appliances hidden away helps keep the kitchen neat and organized. And it is easier to get to these items with pullout shelves instead of having to dig for them or having to pull them out from standard cupboards or shelves.

3. Sometimes, replacing the hardware on cabinets can give a new look with little expense. The next step up would be replacing the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Here again, you might be able to do this yourself, but if you can’t, the cost is still low because you aren’t replacing the entire cabinets, only the facades.

Colors influencing to decorate a home

Colors influence our daily lives more than most of us realize. Colors can evoke feelings of warmth, calmness, excitement, happiness and even promote conversation and appetite. So when selecting color to decorate a home, it’s important to take into consideration what a specific color can suit a particular room.

White
White is probably the most popular color for home decorating. It is versatile and easily mixes with others colors to add highlights. White it mostly seen in kitchens, bathroom and laundry rooms because of its fresh, clean and cooling feel.

Yellow
A very vibrant and happy color, yellow creates high energy for a room. Beautifully refreshing when paired with white, yellow is again a great color for kitchens in addition to laundry rooms.

Blue
Blue is a very soothing color, creating a feeling of calmness and serenity. Often seen in bedrooms and bathrooms, blue allows for peaceful thinking and relaxation of the mind and body.

Green
Depending on the shade, green can either be a warmer or cooler color. A perfect reflection of nature, green can have a calming and soothing effect on a room, making it ideal for living and family rooms. Also known for reflecting good health, green is an ideal accent color for any style kitchen.

Red
Red is a very dominant and vibrant color. It creates excitement and high energy and is also known to stimulate one’s appetite and aid in conversation, making it perfect for both dining and living rooms.

Orange
Orange is a friendly and warming color like red, but not as dramatic. Because of its welcoming feel, orange works very well in living rooms, family rooms and entry ways.

Brown
Masculine and sophisticated would probably be the best ways to describe the color brown and its varying shades. Because it evokes a warm and cozy feeling, brown it most likely suitable in home libraries and dens.

Too much of any color can sometimes feel overwhelming. By incorporating color in small doses, either in wall paint, furniture, linens or accent pieces, each room can reflect the atmosphere it was intended to be.

Hey how do find the tips here?

Did u find the Decor tips good enough? Let me add in a few more to it to help you add more room to your room :-

Create multi-functional furniture. After choosing the furniture, think how multi-functional these pieces can be. You can Use an antique trunk as a coffee table. It is a great bonus spot to store infrequently accessed items such as seasonal clothing, or extra linens for guests. Opt for a platform bed with drawers in the base. Buy a desk with shallow shelves above. This maximizes the area above the desk, which would otherwise be wasted.


While choosing drapery select the ones that are nearly the same height as the room. Hang it near the ceiling regardless of the height of the window but Keep the curtain from touching the floor so that the fabric doesn’t break, as this can look heavy in a small space. Choose fabrics that allow views to the outdoors.

Here are some tips for making your small apartment seem larger than it is.

1. Choose your paint color wisely.
When choosing the color palette for a small room, choose a light color for the walls, and instead, jazz up the room with accessories in bold colors. Let the walls ‘fade-away’, and your eye travel to the objects that contain your favorite colors.

2. Paint horizontal stripes that are similar in color.If the room lacks area, paint it with large horizontal stripes that are similar in color.
If your space has low ceilings, paint vertical stripes. This gives the illusion of a taller space.

Play with different thicknesses and different spacing between the stripes throughout the room for a fun and spontaneous look.

3. Choose the right furniture.This is important. Measure your space before buying anything, and use masking tape to block out areas of an empty room that you would feel comfortable filling. Use the space for a couple of days and decide if the size of the boxed-out areas feels okay.
Bring a tape measure to the furniture store. Ask the salesperson if the furniture on the showroom floor comes in different sizes or is customizable. Also, be open to choosing something that is different than the original idea you had in your mind.

Hey here are a few more things to keep in mind while creating a brand new kitchen...

1. Functionality
Space planning is one of the most important elements to a successful kitchen.
Vital elements include traffic flow, work stations, and safety considerations. The most important area is the triangle between the three primary work centers – cooking, prep/cleanup and refrigeration. A well-placed island is one that is centrally located for ease of use and traffic flow. It may include bar seating, storage and possibly a secondary sink or cooktop.

2. Budgeting
Drafting a budget will give your kitchen renovation project scope. It will also help you and your designer / retail store if you can prioritize where you want to allocate your funds – cabinets, appliances, tile, flooring, countertops. Appliances should be selected based on the budget and size of kitchen.

3. Longevity
Choose styles that reflect your personality and lifestyle, not what you think is "hot" or trendy. Making classic choices that match your personal style will ensure the longevity of your kitchen, and your ultimate satisfaction.
