For beginners, Marbonite tiles are better in quality compared to the normal ceramic tiles. Ceramic tiles have a porous surface and they need to be glazed before they can be installed on the floor.

In a crowded city, where everyone is pressed for space, any idea that helps to save floor space is always welcomed. Though you may not be a lucky one to own a spacious penthouse or a 3BHK apartment, you should not lose heart. For, there are many options available when it comes to designing a small apartment. Below are some simple ideas to execute to make your small room spacious enough.

Remove the trash
There may be too many small things in your drawing room eating up a lot of floor space. What you can do is dump all the old antique pieces and other small things in a big box to dump them forever. Keeping them in the room will only make your room look cluttered. You need to sit down and decide what is absolutely essential that occupies a good amount of space in your room. Be specific about what you want in your room and get rid of all unwanted things.

Window treatments
You may find those heavy window treatments as a pleasure to the eye but you have no idea how much space they end up occupying in your small room. Apart from the space that they occupy, they also block the outside light to an extent from entering your room. Instead of those bulky window treatments, you can opt for window shutters, blinds or shades. Blinds are a great option as they occupy little space and can give your room the desired look. One visit at the interior décor store and you will be amazed to see the different types of blinds available. If you are flexible with your budgets, then you can also opt for custom designed blinds that complement your home interiors.

Wall paint
Though painting walls with bright and bold colours is an in thing, remember that bold colours only make your room small and cramped. Opt for lighter shades and hues and as far as possible, paint all the walls in the room in a single colour. If you wish to break the monotony, then opt for similar shades and hues. Lighter shades create a feeling of openness and an illusion of a spacious room.
These are three simple steps that you can follow to make your room appear larger. Surely, you must be impressed with these ideas as the idea of a big room always excites everyone.

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.
