The Beauty of Minimalism in Architecture

What is Minimalist Architecture ? Minimalism or minimalist art can be seen as extending the abstract idea that art should have its own reality and not be an imitation of some other thing.  Minimalism is also important to visual arts and design. While it may seem like a simple principle, achieving excellence in the Minimalist style requires great skill. It asks artists, designers, and architects to break things down into their essential elements, using simple forms to produce harmonious work. Minimalism describes movements in varied kinds of art and style, particularly visual art and music, wherever the work is stripped right down to its most elementary options. As a selected movement within the arts it’s known with developments in the post–World War II Western Art, most powerfully with Yankee visual arts within the late Nineteen Sixties and early Seventies. distinguished artists related to this movement embrace Donald Judd, John McLaughlin, Agnes Martin, Dan Flavin, Robert Morris, Anne Truitt, and Frank Stella. it’s stock-still within the subtractive aspects of Modernism and is usually understood as a reaction against the art movement and a bridge to genre art practices.

Designing Children’s Rooms

Designing Children’s Rooms Kids aren’t easy to please. They’re very specific with their preferences and tend to have strong likes and dislikes. So, when designing children’s room, their tastes have to be kept in mind. After all, the tiny tots will be very vocal about their opinion, no matter how elegantly the room is designed. What to keep in Mind when Designing Kids’ Rooms ? Go bright: Children love rooms that are colourful. However, each colour can have its effects on psychology, so choose what shades to use judiciously. For example, blue is known for it’s calming effects while red is known for the opposite. Hence red works as an accent colour instead of the colour for the whole room. Keep in mind that kids grow out of some shades very quickly- such as pink. So, using wallpapers, wall decals, art, rugs and textures in the colour and keeping the walls neutral can help the room grow with the child. This can also help when accessorising as it is easier to pair neutral palettes with other colours. Alternatively, mixing multiple colours strategically can also look great.

Space Saving Ideas for your Home

Space Saving Ideas for your Home No matter how big our house is, we always seem to need more space. Maybe it’s for keeping something important to you or storing things away. Using space-saving ideas cleverly and judiciously can help a lot. You can use the space you already have differently, a win-win in my opinion. So here are some space-saving ideas you can use in your new home. Use your Stairs Chances are, you have a blank wall at the bottom side of your stairs that just sits there. Definitely put that space to use- either put a hanging shelf that takes a few minutes for installation, or you can make it a library with multiple shelves. Put up a few hangers and you can use them as coats or hat hangers. Or you can create a space beneath the stairs to make it into a personalized nook- a pantry, a kennel, a reading corner, a meditation corner, etc. You can even put shelves within the stairs so each stair will have a shelf underneath. The possibilities are endless! Bathroom Cabinets There is just so much potential space to be used in the bathroom. In Indian households, the under-sink

7 Factors to Consider Increasing the Daylight in House

7 Factors to Consider Increasing the Daylight in House Daylight in House The goal of daylight in the house is to increase the amount of natural light we can use in buildings in order to save energy for lighting, heating, and cooling, improve comfort and well-being, generate aesthetic value, and provide a connection to the outside. What is Daylight in House? Daylight in the house is the practice of placing windows, other openings, and reflective surfaces so that sunlight (direct or indirect) can provide effective internal lighting. Particular attention is given to daylighting while designing a building when the aim is to maximize visual comfort or reduce energy use.  7 Factors to Increase Daylight in Your House Windows: Windows are the most common way to admit daylight into a space. Their vertical orientation means that they selectively admit sunlight and diffuse daylight at different times of the day and year. Therefore, windows on multiple orientations must usually be combined to produce the right mix of light for the building, depending on the climate and latitude.   Clerestory Windows: Another important element in creating daylighting is the use of clerestory windows. These are high, vertically placed windows. They can be used to increase direct solar
