Bedroom

<p>We often underestimate the power of mirror as an accessory in <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/blogs/home-decor" target="_blank">home decor</a>. Mirrors have been used as a necessity rather than it being seen as an overall asset that adds up to the essence of a room. Add life to your room with the presence of scintillating mirrors and bring in warmth to your personal spaces.</p>
<p>Here is a list of interesting ideas of how you can add and arrange mirrors to make your room cozy and classy at the same time:</p>
<h2>Accent Mirrors - Make It A Group</h2>
<p>Group mirrors of different sizes and fill up that empty wall of your room for instance the <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/tags/staircase-detail-dwg" target="_blank">staircase</a>. The empty wall is now accessorized and you would automatically see the room being completed in its own way on adding the mirrors.</p>

<h2>Standing Mirror</h2>
<p>A standing mirror adds up to the vertical element of a room and makes the corners or walls complete. We might just end up in the fear of taking care of a standing mirror but it comes across as one of the easiest ways to add up the function and aesthetics of a mirror to a room.</p>

Use of Different Lights in a Bathroom can Make it Look Stylish

<p>The choice between whether to choose Wood Veneer or laminate becomes tough when it comes to the choice of the finishes. Veneer and laminates, both are popularly known finishes used on furniture, doors, windows, for surfacing, walls, ceiling and put to more such usage. Veneer and laminate both are applied to a board base that can be plywood or a fiberboard (MDF or HDF) for its practical use.</p>
<p>These finishes have their respective strengths and weakness which help you make sure of the choice that you would want to make.</p>
<h2><strong>WOOD VENEER:</strong></h2>
<p>Veneer is a thin layer of real hardwood applied to a thicker base like plywood. We describe here the strengths and weaknesses of wood veneer.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2017/10/modern-bedroom.jpg" alt="Which one to go: Wood Veneer or Laminate" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">

<h2><strong>Strengths:</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Aesthetics-: </strong>Since veneer is extracted from real wood, you get different patterns with every sheet. The organic patterns and the different colors achieved from the varied real woods gives a variety and choice of textures. Every sheet has a different look.</p>
<p><strong>The final look</strong>-: Wood veneers can be further polished and colored to get the desired finish according to the interior theme. You can derive the real wood finish out of the veneer to compliment your interior.</p>
<p><strong>Resistance</strong>-: Wood veneer resists warping and fragmentation.</p>
<p><strong>Eco-friendly-: </strong>Veneer is eco-friendly since it is recyclable. Since the veneer is an extremely thin sheet of real wood, a number of veneer sheets can be derived. Also, the veneer is non-toxic.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2017/10/CcRtacSEOR/midcentury-kitchen.jpg" alt="Which one to go: Wood Veneer or Laminate" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<p>Photo by  - <a href="https://www.houzz.in/photos/kitchen" target="_blank">Search kitchen pictures</a></p>
<h2><strong>Weaknesses:</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Durability</strong>-: Veneer isn’t durable since it is not resistant to scratches and stains. Wood veneer is extremely thin and more susceptible to water damage.</p>
<p><strong>Maintenance-: </strong>It is not easy to maintain veneer because they require polish from time to time. Veneer needs regular polishing to regain its lost color and finish.</p>
<p><strong>Cost-: </strong>Veneers become costly since their value is determined by the choice of the wood. Hence, the use of high-quality veneer becomes a costly affair.</p>

<h2><strong>LAMINATE:</strong></h2>
<p>Laminate is a man-made product that is made to resemble wood. It is an artificial material that is printed with a color or pattern. We describe here the strengths and weaknesses of Laminates.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2017/10/n9OhqSM1lC/contemporary-kitchen.jpg" alt="Which one to go: Wood Veneer or Laminate" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">

<h2><strong>Strengths:</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Durable</strong>-: Laminates are more durable than veneer since they are scratch resistant and are waterproof. Hence, you don’t need to be as careful with laminates are you are with veneer.</p>
<p><strong>Variety</strong>-: Laminates have endless types from glossy to matt to texture along with the availability in different colours. Since laminates can be replicated into any texture and pattern, therefore different surface finishes like wood, marble, leather etc can be replicated.</p>
<p><strong>Affordability</strong>-: Laminates are quite economical and pocket-friendly depending upon the brand and the quality.</p>

<h2><strong>Weaknesses:</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Non-recyclable</strong>-: Laminates are non-recyclable and are toxic at times since they release a toxic known as formaldehyde, a volatile organic compound.</p>
<p><strong>Clipping-: </strong>Laminate is a brittle material and hence it is prone to clipping. The clipping of laminates often results in breaking of the panels which ultimately results in replacement of the worn out sheet.</p>
<p><strong>Always a replica</strong>-: Laminate will never be able to attain the natural look of the veneer. Despite being of the highest quality, the laminate would still be a replica of the real wood.</p>

Which one to go: Wood Veneer or Laminate

<p>Let’s give some light to the Wall and Floor Mounted WC and speak of their strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<h2><strong>WALL MOUNTED WC</strong></h2>
<p>A wall mounted WC is the one that is fixed to the wall or in other words it is hung on the wall. It gives a different styling to your bathroom since this concept of a WC highlights the <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/3138-7-modern-and-easy-bathroom-decorating-ideas" target="_blank">modern way of bathroom designing</a>. The wall mounted WC is the ‘new in’ when it comes to<a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2760-brilliant-hacks-make-your-small-bathroom-look-bigger" target="_blank"> designing the small bathrooms</a>. It has four parts the wall tank, the flush, the toilet bowl and the seat.</p>

<p>Here are the strengths and weaknesses of Wall mounted WC:</p>
<h2><strong>INSTALLING A WALL HUNG WC - STRENGTHS</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Saves space-: </strong>The extra space of the tank and the floor space underneath the seat gets saved if wall mounted WC is used. The tank is flushed in the walls and the area below the seat is also clear.</p>
<p><strong>Elegant, neat and sleek-: </strong>With the evolution of technology, the <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2362-make-your-bathroom-more-glamorous-hotel" target="_blank">way of styling bathrooms</a> has also changed and so have the fixtures. The new Wall mounted WC gives a rich and modern look to your bathroom without the display of the wall tank and the different shapes trap underneath the seat.</p>

<p><strong>Convenient-: </strong>The wall mounted WC can be altered and fixed at different heights keeping in mind the comfort of the user. If someone prefers the seat height to be high, then the WC can be fixed at that particular height.</p>
<p><strong>The ease-: </strong>Wall mounted WCs are easy to clean. There isn’t anything underneath the seat or the water tank outside the wall that would require regular cleaning.</p>

<p><strong>Advancement-: </strong>The Wall mounted WCs have evolved over time. There are different sets of installations when it comes to this WC from the automatic flush that decides the amount of water that needs to go into flushing. It works automatically. Along with the WC, health faucet has also been a common fixture in the modern homes.</p>

<h2><strong>WALL MOUNTED WC INSTALLATION - WEAKNESSES</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Costly</strong>-: One of the cons of a wall mounted WC is its cost. The installation and the WC as a whole unit become quite expensive.</p>
<p><strong>The installation</strong>-: Installation of a wall mounted WC becomes extra work since another thicker wall called the Ledge Wall is required to install this WC. The extra, Ledge wall is needed to hold the flush tank inside.</p>
<p><strong>Accessibility</strong>-: The accessibility to the flush tank embedded inside the wall becomes difficult and hence, the repairing becomes tough.</p>

<h2><strong>FLOOR MOUNTED WC</strong></h2>
<p>The evergreen Floor mounted WC has been in use for the past several years. This WC is fixed to the floor where the trap finds its way attached to the bathroom floor.</p>

<h2><strong>FLOOR MOUNTED WC - STRENGTHS</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Affordable</strong>-: These WCs are cheaper as compared to the wall mounted WCs.</p>
<p><strong>Easy to repair</strong>-: The floor mounted WCs have flush tank attached to the seat outside that makes any such kind of repair needed easy.</p>

<h2><strong>FLOOR MOUNTED WC INSTALLATION - WEAKNESSES</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Takes up more space</strong>-: The floor mounted WC makes your toilet congested and cramped up. It takes up more space as compared to Wall mounted WC.</p>
<p><strong>Cleaning isn’t easy</strong>-: The cleaning and maintenance become difficult around the trap as it gets stained because of water.</p>

When Furnishing Changes the Look of your Bedroom

Architecture

<p>The flooring of any space brings out the best of the area and adds essence to the interiors. The choice of materials and colours is wide and to pick one out of the lot of vitrified tiles and marble is debatable. Whether to choose the evergreen, rich looking marble or to go for the new, modern day quality material that is the vitrified tiles is the question.</p>
<h2><strong>MARBLE</strong></h2>
<p><strong>1. Characteristics and properties-:</strong> Marble is a natural rich beauty, of a kind as a natural stone with properties of being porous and made up of calcite, dolomite or limestone.</p>

<p><strong>2. Durability:</strong> The strength of marble is great and remarkable. Marble however being porous might lead to stains and also gets affected by acids. Hence, polishing and proper cleaning of the marble is regular; it may last for a really long span of time.</p>
<p><strong>3. Appearance and finishes:</strong> The look of marble speaks elite. The grain lines on the marble give it a natural look and well polished marble gives a luxurious and rich look. Marble is available in natural hues, shades of black, green, brown, white, yellow and apart from the polished finished, sand marble can be used for the rough texture.</p>
