Team Work

April 21st, 2010 | Author: Anna

One of the greatest and most important things in renovations, building and contractions is team work. as each person has their own individual talents and gifts. This applies to most things to have a good team of people and cooperation of others.

Jesus once said that those of you that want to be great, that you must serve one another and love your neighbour as yourself and love your enemy.

When I first heard that many years ago, I found it hard to put always into action but i’ve learnt over the years that it works. As hard as it is sometimes the best results are when one serves others in love and eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness and cynicism and negative attitudes towards others. its being patience, with others as none of us are perfect.

I believe its the right thing to do, is to treat people well and pay them there dues, this brings great success to team work and excellent results and there’s everything to gain from this all round.

Faith To Believe

April 21st, 2010 | Author: Anna

When I have a vision for a property renovation or creation design, I always keep that vision in the fore front of my mind, and work towards that goal, despite all the obstacles and very often many challenges, the vision stays a reality until completed and it literally becomes the real thing.
I believe that if one stays focused on a good goal then eventually you’ll get there. in this particular case I am applying this to design or the purchased of property for example but this can be applied to any thing, its important to stay focused on what your doing, until its done and materialises, it just takes the faith to continue believing until it appears.

When money disappears !

April 21st, 2010 | Author: Anna

“Will you set your eyes not for riches, certainly they make themselves wings and flyaway like an eagle.”

This may not be the most appealing thing everyone wants to hear, l was once told this and at the time it was the very last thing l personally wanted to listen too but theirs a very good moral that comes from this, especially in this merteralistic world we live in and also like many people, l like many of the material things around.

However the world economic meltdown that resulted in the greatest evaporation of wealth in history, tens of trillions of dollars, euro, pounds, of all currency’s just disappeared in value from the markets around the world.
It seems almost inconceivable that trillions of amounts of money could vanish without a trace, but they can.
Money as a foundation can be washed away and it can never be the eternal and ultimate source of security, therefore dont put your trust in money.
Finally it is to realize that no wealth or position can long endure and only things built on truth and justice will last.
There’s nothing wrong with saving and investing for the future, but money can never be the ultimate source of security.
Security therefore can only be in something eternal and we have all been enlighten to the beauty of nature around us and its creator.

Estimates and Quotes

January 17th, 2010 | Author: Anna

It is important for the client to put a budget and work within or round about that budget.

l am all in favour of getting estimates and quotes, however the most expensive doesn’t always mean the best, as does buying the cheapest.

What’s really important is careful choice and consideration, when it comes to buying of the products, much money, can be saved by careful and wise choice in shopping.

One may find a cheap product but it costs twice as much to lay it, but the reverse is also true, it doesn’t mean buying expensive achieves the design and decoration image required or a plumbing item chosen, may not be as good as a reliable make, because you may end-up calling the plumber several many times, and if there’s a leak and no-one wants that.

That’s why home-ideas offers the buyers choice for design on-line, we help you make wise shopping decisions, to get the best out of your home decor.

Computer Design

January 17th, 2010 | Author: Anna

Computer design, has greatly enabled the house design industry, the designer and the customer to see a very beautifully finished homes via computer or computer photo images.

However there are a few lessons l believe to realise from computer made-up designs and photo’s images projected. As real life and appealing as the computer projected image is, often the items chosen and reflected in the computer design look amazing on the computer photo’s but on site they take on a different role, because of lighting etc and just simply in real life it looks different and sometimes the design can look dull and just need a reassessing to get that interesting final result in the property.

Therefore the computer designs are great but things still need to be monitored as they are put together, to produce that look required in the property.

Decorate your life with the colours of the earth, sea and sky!

December 31st, 2009 | Author: Anna

Everybody desires his own “tent” home! It’s important to start with good foundations though… If the foundations are not solid they will sooner or later need to be replaced, and renewed.

Man’s desire to rule over the earth, create and build, has been instinctively planted within our hearts. Therefore it’s no surprise when we look back through history, several thousands of years ago we see the first high rising “tower of babel”, reaching the sky.

In today’s cities, we see throughout the world man’s desire to reach the heavens. There’s no end to design tastes and colour schemes, although my own personal experience, has taught me otherwise… To make the best use of something we already have and to work through with what’s in hand, before making any rash decisions.

However they are times when you need to start from the beginning. l love to create, design and renovate any building or property, especially older buildings; keeping some of the original features and updating others. Although l like a more modern look, l adore to combine new and old ideas together.

The most important thing is the heart of the place and to build character that withstands all trends and fashions of today’s life. A character that even after a few years wear and tear, it just needs a paint lift and maybe a few accessories to get up to date!

I aways try to get a perfect vision of what a property should look like and then I tend to create the basic layout. With the advancement of computer aided drawing technology it’s easy to create a nice design fast, and present it to the client. Although my personal preference is to work from my vision and drawings done for the client, and being on site. The reason is that being on site you get the feel as the creation comes into being and furthermore there are always adjustments that need to be done, not possible to be shown in the drawings.

I prefer to work stage by stage and much depends on the budget and who’s the owner. I build in and around that original vision, developing and progressing upon that. Deriving from the clients own taste but keeping much of the original vision that l first got.

That’s always the best blend, because it’s from the heart. Moreover, although l love being artistic, homes must be functional, with enough storage and seating and space.

Space must be sufficient and its use efficient.

I believe in using colour in the way, it was first intended. If you look at a tree and its leaves or the birds on the tree, and the lovely combinations of colours, or the sea and how the blue sea hits the contrasts of the sand and the rocks, even the sea changes through a vast range of colours! Look at how beautifully they are coloured and the multitude of combinations. I simply transport all that beauty available into the property. l believe that gives my work a particular unique essence and style, that sets me apart in design and literally speaks for itself.

If you would like any further information or a quotation for work (even simply choosing a colour scheme for your home) I will be very happy to help! Please contact me at the e-mail or just call 6946300414.

Budgets…

December 31st, 2009 | Author: Anna

One of the first and most important items is estimating the costs to make sure you have enough money to build, renovate, redecorate and design your property and complete the work.

This might sound silly to many but l’ve seen people be over enthusiatic and try and do the work themselves. As a result they have fallen into serious problems which are consequences of bad decisions made.

It literally pays to have a professional do your renovation, decorations and design work.

Are you wondering why?

It’s simple actually… These professionals know there job and can avoid bad decisions, which are almost always more costly than paying for a designer, in the first place.

Plus a good designer knows how to achieve that dream interior and has the knowledge and techniques to maximise your property value. It’s a fact that even getting the colour scheme right is very important and pays in the long run!

If you want a good designer with lots of experience contact us with the e-mai form or just call 6946300414.

Update Your Home With Simple Ideas…

December 31st, 2009 | Author: Anna

Up-date your home

Make simple cost effective changes to brighten your environment and change your surroundings:

Day-in and day-out of looking at the same walls and pieces of furniture we all need that little something to lighten our homes, offices, shops and hotels.

Minor changes can often make huge differences, such as de-cluttering, (if you been holding on to things that you no longer want, why not bless someone else with those things, that maybe they have a desperate need for) re-organising space more effectively. Moving pieces of furniture, around better suited elsewhere.

Seasonal changes

As the seasons change, adding splashes of colour to your home, adds that touch of seasonal look, cheap solutions are coloured cushions, seasonal indoor potted flowers and accessories, re-arranged for a new season.

Add colour into your life

Adding a touch of colour into your life, can make a great difference in a room, it might just be painting a recess of a wall, a different tone or colour but what an impact that can have on a room affecting the atmosphere, and whole area.

Using what you already have

Making the best of what one already has, doesn’t always go down well in our consumer societies, however its the best place to start, start with the things you like the most and separate the things you don’t like at all, then focus on bringing those things into the forefront of the room you desire to change.

Re-vamp your furniture

There are excellent products on the market for re-vamping old furniture, l recently found myself being totally bored of furniture l had designed some ten years ago, so l had a go at spray painting it white and added a few light gold streaks, it looked amazing and brightened the whole place. This is just one solution but there are many, ways to up-date what you have, with a little thought and consideration.
