China often used as objects of artistic creation and made into household appliances. Sometimes difficult to distinguish between china and other tableware are also made of clay.

material clay is the basic and primary materials for the manufacture of porcelain, although the clay mineral itself is only a small portion of the overall composition. Even so, now china composition can vary, but the clay minerals, kaolin, is a significant component of any manufacturing porcelain.

Other materials that may be used is usually pasta, feldspar, ball clay, glass, bone ash, steatite, and quartz, and many more. Some mixture of the above materials can produce fine porcelain version.

EXCEPT be a good guest house, something else that is not less important to note when you hold an open house is a home decoration. Of course you do not want to look normal housing conditions alone, but rather a party festive, right? Some of the things below can be used as a reference:

- Set the appropriate lighting conditions

Each person would want good lighting in the house, especially when going to a party or a banquet held. But that does not mean every room in your house should be equipped with bulbs the size of 100 Watt power, right?

Simply consider the function of each room. For the living room, kitchen and den, may need a lamp that produces light. However, other rooms may need a lamp with a more dim light, for the function and a different atmosphere, such as the bedroom or garden.

- Avoid using a tablecloth that is too

If you like a particular type of material, then make a scale of priorities only on the material, color, or image you like best. Plan a color scheme. Choose a main pattern, add a small image motif as a sweetener.

If you need other materials, choose a material with solid colors instead of patterns or motifs earlier pictures. Tablecloth so you make do not seem too rame with various patterns and motifs image.

- Extend the mat in the middle of the room

Spread a mat on the floor would make as if the room is more colorful. In addition, intimate and warm impression will also be better if the guests stuck in lesehan chat.

However, the mats are placed in the middle of the room, had to use an anchor (amplifier) in order not to shift and endanger the safety of users of the room. Therefore, this mat is easy to move or shift so that anyone who passed on it could have slipped, for example, children who ran in the room. So, use a chair, table or sofa as a reinforcement on the mat to remain stable. Slip mat under the feet of the front of the chair, sofa, or table.

- Put a pillow accessory

Pillows are a great accessory to be used to add an attraction to a room. You can buy a pillow in various sizes, shapes, colors, materials and soft texture. But these pillows should be useful, not only as decorative elements only.

Generally a pillow placed on a sofa or rug. Although the pillow can be placed in many places, not piled on the part where you’ll sit a long time. Make the boundaries of the number and placement

CHOOSING furniture as a place to sit relax as the chair with his desk is not difficult. However, sometimes furniture sets are not as interesting as you see it in catalogs or in stores that display them.

If such a case, it’s easy. You just need decorating with additional elements. Additional decoration elements for chairs and tables can be many things, like pillows or tablecloth.

“If you feel a new sofa or chair you are interested or if you want to make a long sofa or chair you are more trendy, small pillow, accented with gloves artistic and colorful can give a different nuance on the couch,” said Emmy Susianti interior designers.

In addition, if we have a couch that was once soft, after all this time is used, these sofas can also change form. Section where you sit back or parts that often you can sit on basin shape, indicating that the foam on the damaged section.

“If you do not have the budget to buy a new sofa, then do not force yourself to buy a new sofa. Just re-decorating course. One way of doing so was that, by adding a pillow for example to cover the basin area,” said Emmy.

Do not forget to give these pillows a sarong sarong-funny and interesting. To be more harmonious, matching the theme of the room. If the ethnic theme of the room, you can use eg batik cushions.

While Head of Creative from Adaide, Rani Anggraeni, said that to create a beautiful impression on the couch, we can play with accessories like a sofa cushion (cushion). Well, to bring this couch cushion, there are several things to note. Suppose the model, size, color, and pillowcases.

Sofa cushions have a variety of models such as ball, a crescent moon, . cushion and oval-shaped box like a mini roll. Not only sweet model, sofa cushions can also equipped with a sarong picture, print, or even plain.

Cushions may be placed in almost every room. Can in the living room, family room, bedrooms, or even the patio. Therefore, the selection of gloves and a pillow model should be adjusted to space and function for function spaces are certainly different.

In the living room, the atmosphere is more formal spaces, typically used tend to couch formal shape selected so that the pillow is also more formal and simple, like a box or oval shape. However, according to interior designer from Bangun Rumah Persada, Erlavina, oval shape more suitable for long-carved chairs.

“Therefore, it is better to select a square motif embroidered on the holster so it will look more beautiful on the couch,” he advised.

Meanwhile, for the living room couch chosen because the shape tends to relax, then the election should cushion capable of providing a family atmosphere, warm and familiar as other forms of fun and color will vary according to residents.

If the pillow form is funny, for instance resemble animal shapes like a doll, a pillow is not necessary because it was wrapped in a sarong will eliminate the appearance beauty. However, if the pillow is plain, sarong funny, sweet patterned or embroidered can be paired to make the pillow look more attractive.

To beautify the pillow display, color scabbard is also noteworthy. Color selection can be adjusted or contrasted with the color couch.

“Actually, the color of the pillow or gloves have two alternatives to choose from. Can a contrasting color or even to compliment the color of the sofa,” said Erlavina.

However, for a plain sofa or white, he suggested, select the sofa cushions with bright colors, play a motive, or embroidered. For big events, Erlavina said selected pillowcases are embroidered better to create a living room more elegant and regal. Architect and owner Anita Millennia Furniture Buntarman added, the presence of the couch cushions provide its own touch to minimize the rigid impression on the sofa.

Flexible can create the impression by presenting a pillow. As a space filler accent, Anita said, the pillow is usually selected a standard size, ie between 35-55 centimeters. However, the size of sofa cushions should be adjusted to the respective proportions of the sofa, also tastes residents to be able to provide a cushion display a nice scenery and interesting, not just the opposite. Besides the shape and size of the pillow, motifs and color gloves should also be noted because it will affect the look of the sofa and the room where the couch was.

Yes, for the sake of harmony in space, unified harmonious match deserves to be realized. However, do not need to set one color in your room because of the color mix and derivative or a proper color match can also harmonize a sweet baby.

JAM wall not only serves as a timepiece. If form really noticed, the clock can also add aesthetic value of the room.

Have you ever done an event without looking at the clock? Of course not. If you visit the showroom hours, you will find various kinds and types of hours you’ve probably never seen before.

Decorating the room from the installation of hours also has its own techniques. According to interior designer Maya Pangestu, if you have a type and a simple house concept, the first thing to consider is to see how wide you want the wall set hours. “Narrow wall mounted clock should not be too great,” he said. In contrast, wide walls and a ceiling high enough that also requires a large clock to generate the expected dramatic impression. Maya said, “But, this rule does not always apply it. I have also seen a small wall mounted clock is big enough, and it looks very impressive.”

Most newly built houses have ceilings high enough so that the wall was so wide. That gave the impression the decor to be more narrow. Most people want to have a clock to match the theme of the concept of home, such as the kitchen. Hours are suitable for a kitchen is a beautiful finishing clock shaped like chili or vegetables, or it could be hours of spoon and fork picture is identical with the food.

The living room or family room is the most essential rooms in your home. In this room you spend more time with people you love or guests and relatives. You’ll want the room look more attractive and enjoyable. That way, guests will feel comfortable being there. Antique clocks used to time your grandfather is very suitable for display in the room. Hours that will be one of the center of attention in the room, plus a distinctive sound and dentangannya can add the elegance of the room.

Houses in Indonesia is rare to have a fireplace. However, if your home is one of them, at the small type of match is placed on the fireplace. The sound is more quiet than the big clock would not eliminate the sense of tranquility room.

For the bedroom, the appropriate hour is not too big and not too complicated. So did an hour for a child’s room. “The kids loved the bright colors and funny shapes. Therefore, the clock on the child’s room should be bigger and full of color,” advises Maya.

“Even better if the theme follows the concept of rooms, such as the superhero, favorite sports, or favorite cartoon character,” said Maya.

You have a gym at home? Surely you need a clock to show how long you’ve exercised. Today many hours a thematic nature. Hours associated with many sports are also already available from basketball, motor racing, to tennis.

For you who want to use a clock or clock art deco antiques, certainly more costly. The hours are a benchmark of a minimum price of hundreds of thousands of dollars. While the hours are usually worth more thematic reach of the bag.
