If you are going to be installing Pergo flooring yourself, the following are some brief tips from a do-it-yourself home owner just like you! Installing Pergo flooring in your home can be a great, low cost, home improvement decision. It is fairly durable, extremely easy to clean, and installing Pergo flooring is easy. The look is welcoming, providing any area in your home with a warm look and feel of wood. You have a wide array of colors and styles to choose from, so you will certainly find something to suit your home's needs. To begin, you will need specific tools and supplies begin installing Pergo flooring in your home. There are two types of flooring offered, glue and glueless. No matter what type of flooring you choose to install, you will need a plastic vapor barrier, a saw, and padding. If you choose the glue model, you will need other supplies, such as tightening straps and tapping block. Before you begin installing Pergo flooring, there are numerous home improvement classes offered at a regular basis for no charge at home improvement stores. Its highly recommended that you take a class to familiarize yourself with the common problems and issues you will encounter. You will be able to learn firsthand how to install the floor, and you will be able to ask an installation expert any questions you may have regarding installing Pergo flooring. Plus, all the supplies you will need when installing Pergo flooring are there in the class. You can plan on installing Pergo flooring over cement, tile, vinyl, or in place of carpet. The planks should be installed over special, specific padding to help with noise as well as a vapor barrier (especially if you install over concrete) to keep moisture out. These are all things you need to discuss with your home improvement supplier. Measure the rooms and get your square footage before you go to a class or to pick out the material. You will be able to bring home samples to help you decide on the color of your new floors if needed. At this time, plan the direction that the wood planks should lay. When installing Pergo flooring in a narrow or long room, lay it down lengthwise; or, if you are installing the flooring in a room with a large window, lay it feeding towards the window. One of the first steps you take after you have brought home the materials is to let the boxes sit open in the room you plan on installing Pergo flooring in for at least 48 hours. If you live in or will be installing Pergo flooring in an area of extremely high or low humidity, you should let the open box sit for up to 96 hours exposing the wood materials to the room's environment. Allowing the box to sit allows the material to get acclimated, and will decrease the chances for swelling and/or shrinking once you complete the job. When you install Pergo flooring, you are creating a floating floor. The planks should not be glued or secured to the subfloor in anyway to allow for movement with humidity and temperature. (The expansion distance is 1/4 inch in normal climates). This is important to note in areas you are installing like at corners, angles and openings such as doorways. Two essential installation supplies when using a glue system are the tapping block and the tightening straps. These are used to make sure the pieces of flooring are connected tightly and smoothly with less gapping. Before adding glue, lay the first three rows down to see what the floor will look like and if the pieces will fit. If you have a board close (less than 2") to the wall (or end of spatial area), rearrange the first pieces to make them all fit. Installing laminate floor in your home is a big task, but a very rewarding one. Upkeep of the surface is easy and there are specific details and instructions on maintenance and damage repair to these types of floors once you have them installed.

Okay, I know that sounds dramatic, but,... let's call it passion. The deal is, my wife sits and watches the Property Brothers and similar shows (House Hunters, Rehab Addict, etc), and being the wonderful husband that I am, I will sit and watch them with her. HOWEVER, I started noticing a pattern that has been making me uneasy. They are ALWAYS taking any carpet that they find OUT of the house, and they are NEVER putting new flooring INTO the house. Now to be honest, I think they are still using carpet in the bedrooms at times but just don't really talk about it very much. Anyway, in much the same way a stranger who observes an animal being mistreated will step in to protect it, I am stepping in to protect CARPET from these vicious attacks. But first, a quick review of "who am I" to step in on this issue, like, what gives me the right to comment on this at all? Glad you asked! NEW FLOORING OPTIONS I started way back when I was about 7 and started vacuuming my own bedroom carpet. No, I'm lying. The truth is I grew up in Sacramento, CA in the 60's and we didn't even have carpet. I can't even remember a particular time my wife claims that we rented a machine to clean the carpet in our apartment in Lewiston, ID and since she's never lied yet, I'm sure that is true. But then in 1974 I started working for a janitor company here in Moses Lake, WA, which involved cleaning all sorts of floors including carpet. About two year later I had a brief 2 year stint as a corporate pilot and a flight instructor and then I started my own carpet cleaning/janitor business in Dayton. After two years I sold that and came back and took over the business in Moses Lake I had used to work for and which was now exclusively carpet (and upholstery) cleaning. Since that time I have personally been on over 10,000 carpet cleaning jobs. During that time I then also became a certified flooring inspector for the northwest USA. This includes looking at problems with carpet, laminates, hardwood, tile, vinyl, etc. and have performed several thousand inspections over the last 20+ years. I have written a book and numerous articles about different types of floor coverings as well. So all that to say, I know a "thing or two" about the subject, so there! Now I am not naive. I understand that when a culture has certain preferences, etc it is almost impossible to come against that. And in our culture here in the United States at this time in history, carpet is just not, well,... "cool"! That doesn't mean it isn't better or worse, it is all about perception. So, here is my case for carpet over alternative flooring. Just to throw you off, I am going to start with how carpet is NOT as good as other floor coverings. 1) You can NOT install it yourself. Don't even try. Laminate? Sure! Hardwood, tile? You will have a lot better chance with that than carpet. 2) Traffic areas. There, I said it. You will rarely get traffic areas in the hard surfaces, but you often can get that in carpet. And, the traffic areas may or may not be from dirt. Let me explain. When I am inspecting a carpet for a "wear" complaint in the traffic areas, I will hold a bright light above the "wear" area. If I can still see the dark area in the traffic area, then that is dirt. It just needs to be cleaned out. That is GOOD news. However, if it doesn't look dark anymore, then it is from fiber abrasion. Here's the deal. When carpet is constructed, the yarns are composed of numerous "filaments" that are thinner than a human hair and have a smooth surface. If a carpet is not maintained properly with regular vacuuming and cleaning, then particulate in the fibers can start scratching the smooth surface of the filaments, and of course this happens mainly in the TRAFFIC areas. Eventually you will have a dark area that may have dirt in it also, but even after cleaning will still look dark because it is now WORN. Like I tell my clients, we can clean the dirt out, but we can't do anything about the wear. 3) This is not a physical/technical benefit, but a wood floor especially can add to the resale value of your home if that is in the plans for the future. 4) Carpet will typically not last as long as a hard surface, although some people like knowing they can change out their flooring every 10 or 15 years as new designs/tastes come out on the market instead of being locked into a "50 year" wood floor. Okay, here are the advantages of carpet over a hard surface floor: 1) You can't slip on it (especially great for stairs!). 2) Regular maintenance is easy. Plug in the vacuum, go vacuum, put away the vacuum. However, I am not a fan of the Roomba type of robotic vacuum as its suction/particulate removal capacity is VERY limited. 3) Total cost including installation is cheaper than the hard surfaces. 4) Carpet is very forgiving with any moisture/humidity issues as compared especially to hardwood and engineered wood. This is especially true over a concrete subfloor. 5) No clicking/tapping annoying sounds with normal foot traffic, and also adds a thermal barrier to the home's floor, especially over a concrete subfloor. 6) Is more aesthetically pleasing. Well, to me it is. Here is what I've seen over the years. In the 70's we had carpet in all of the rooms, even the kitchen and bathrooms. We had drapes on the windows along with sheers. We even had bean bag chairs! Wait, who cares about bean bag chairs?? Anyway, fast forward to today. When is the last time you saw drapes in someone's windows? I still do occasionally but not very often. And now, carpet in the kitchen/bathrooms is very rare indeed, and of course that makes sense. However, I'll go into someone's home in Seattle for a flooring inspection, and they have vertical or horizontal vinyl type of shades, and Pergo throughout the entire home. The problem for me with hard surfaces is that they are, well,... hard. Our homes I feel have gotten less inviting as a place to escape the hard world outside, have become less of a soft cocoon of comfort and protection from the outside world as they used to be. For me, the ideal home would have tile in the bathrooms, kitchen and utility room, hardwood/laminate in the living and dining rooms with perhaps a rug in the dining area, and then carpet in the family room, hall, stairs and bedrooms. But, there is another issue that is coming up more and more with our aging population. 7) Many people are starting to notice that their joints and bodies in general are hurting when living in a home with hard surfaces. There are many stories out lately where a couple is talked into getting rid of their carpet ( in relation to allergies, etc) and now are almost completely immobilized from the jarring of walking on hard wood/tile floors. And then 8) which I was saving for last. What many people think is a weakness of carpet is actually a benefit, if the carpet is properly maintained. Carpet has been accused of generating dust. What carpet DOES do is trap dust/allergens that come in through the air and from people's shoes, that is one of its BENEFITS. Rather than that stuff floating around in the air, it is trapped in the carpet until it is removed through vacuuming (with a HEPA filter of course), and eventually with a professional cleaning. Some procedures that help also would be wearing "house" shoes/slippers while leaving the regular shoes at the door. It is amazing all the stuff your shoes will get on their soles when you use them. It is best to keep that out of your house as much as possible. Another is having entry rugs (outside and inside) the entry points. I would even suggest having entry rugs that are made with olefin face fibers. Olefin "likes" oil-based residue such as you get on your shoes when walking through a parking lot. Instead of all of that coming into your home, olefin entry rugs/mats will take much of that off automatically as you enter your home. So, those are some of the basic pros and cons of carpet vs. hard surface floor coverings. If you opt for wood floors because that is what you like, then that makes perfect sense. Maybe you like the new vinyl planks that are so popular (Allure, etc.) But what I have noticed as a flooring inspector is that ANY type of flooring can have problems and will have problems a certain percentage of the time. Any information you can get beforehand is vital and fairly available although I would avoid websites where every product they describe is "wonderful" and "amazing". Rather, a third-party site where they aren't trying to make money from selling what they are describing makes more sense. Freeflooringhelp.com is one of those places you could at least start your research. And by the way, don't tell the Property Brothers about my challenge as I think they are a lot taller than me!  

Shaping the house of your dreams is not easy but it is well worth it. If you're looking for bedroom inspiration, I'd suggest you to become an imaginary and creative to make it happen. Because just getting inspired is way different from actually trying it out. DIY is a different ball-game altogether but since we spend most of our peaceful time in bedrooms therefore the difficulty level is worth the try. People have different tastes and therefore they have a number of varying opinions about a specific kind of decor. As a thumb rule, if you can find the right kind of decor inspiration, you will be well on your way to a classic room decor that you love. So how do we start? Well, I do not know exactly what's your room like and how would you want it to be. But still, there's one thing you can always do in every room. Wall Paper Decoration Decorating walls with wallpapers is something we all know and often try out every now and then. These days, technology has advanced so much that there's a huge variety of wallpapers available online. So you can choose one from vinyl to embossed and even fabric-backed vinyl wallpapers, whatever suits your purpose. If you're implementing wall papers in your bedroom, it is best to clear out any mess or clutter you may have our your walls. It goes true specially for small bedrooms, usually wall paper decoration along with other wall items here and there may look messy. Always remember that a clean bedroom always looks much better and appeals more too. Unique Flooring Designs If you're considering to overhaul your bedroom altogether so renovating your flooring design would be something to consider. We need to keep the balance, for example, you can't expect to go with a black flooring and a jet black wallpaper too, it simply won't look good. The art of using color contrast really helps. Anything with a light wall color, dark rugs or a dark unique shade of flooring with light color curtain and relatively darker shade furniture always looks good! A good workaround is to figure out the wall color first. Everyone has a personal color preference, mine is shingle, smoky gray and even mild blue works well for me. Following these simple tips, you can create wonders and I've seen amazing bedrooms with those color combinations. Smart Use of Storage After all, it's a bedroom and you would definitely need a lot of things in there. You will have to creatively design your cabinets, wardrobe, dressing tables and bed itself to adjust your things. First things first, figure out the amount of available space you have. Then decide on the number of things you can adjust and still make the room look awesome. Then third step is to figure out how you can actually improvise in utilizing the space with all those items. Conclusion: At least but not the least, most of the people are extremely excited but they're short of time too. So eventually, they do not pay much attention towards the small details and get overwhelmed by the suggestions. Don't go overboard, seek inspiration of what's already been done. Take a few ideas from here and there, mix and match it with your preferences and you'll end up with a very satisfying personal bedroom makeover. Hope this helps! Source

When it comes to flooring, there is no dearth of innovative materials and designs. One can select from numerous options when it comes to flooring. Marble tiles are one of the most popular choices for floors. Though many other options like linoleum, vinyl, hardwood etc are available; marble flooring is one of the most elegant styles around. If you are one of those people who would like to have marble floors in their house or office, then keep reading on - Tips for getting the best flooring done When choosing floor options keep the following tips in mind * Your budget. * Selection of the right quality and design of marble tiles. They should be durable and the design should be such that its appeal lasts for a long time. * You should visit the reputed stores in your area where you can get to know about the variety of marble tiles available in the market, as well as their prices. You can also research about it on the internet. Doing such research would give you a reasonably good sense of what is available in the market and what is the best you can afford within your budget. Marble flooring as a better floor option Marble is recommended by many interior designers because it is one of the most lasting floor options and can give a stunning bright look to the floor. One of the best features of marble tile is that they are scratch-free and stainless, and retain their fresh look for years. However like other floor options, marble tile also has some drawbacks. These are -   * Marble floors demand regular maintenance. So you have to spare some time regularly to maintain the beauty of your flooring. *Marble tile flooring can be quite expensive and the flooring cost may be more than what you have budgeted. However if you have still desire to install marble tile floor then you have another option that is synthetic marble tile floors. Synthetic marble tiles are cheaper than the original marble tiles. But at the same time you cannot expect the durability and bright beauty of original marble tiles from the synthetic version.  

At some point in every business, there comes the dreaded question of do we move or renovate? While renovations cost money and time, an updated office can result in increased worker productivity and morale, as well as brand awareness which drive through to your bottom line. In an American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) survey, 90% of top management indicated that updated design had positive effects on worker productivity. From the moment, your clients or potential clients walk through your door; they are making assessments about you and your business. Likewise your employees and potential employees are determining what it would be like to work for you. How you care for your office space will be a direct reflection of how you care for your clients and employees. Too many people not enough desks Your business has grown. What could be better than having more new people working for you? But now where will you put all of them? You are struck by the lack of space and need to rethink the layout. Before you push one more desk into the corner or search for a new office space, consider consulting with a design professional. Designers who specialize in office space planning often have creative solutions to your space management problems. They are well aware of the psychological effects of space on clients and employees and can help you make decisions about the balance of comfort, privacy and flexibility. For example, do all of your employees have to work at the same time or even from the office? If no, the designer can convert the areas of assigned cubicles into hoteling spaces or touchdown spaces where employees come to work on an as needed basis. Your furnishings, lighting and technology are outdated If you haven't purchased new desks and chairs in the last decade, you are missing out on some of the latest and greatest developments in ergonomics, not to mention your clients will wonder if you are cutting edge enough for them. Workplace injury costs can include lost wages, medical bills, insurance administrative costs, and the cost to other employees who have to pick up the slack. Investing in new furnishings is well worth the time and money spent. Today's office furnishings accommodate the many different work styles of your employees. Desks can be raised for standing work and lowered for sitting at a computer. Many designers and other creatives prefer to draw standing. At the very least, adjustable and ergonomic office chairs are the norm. Follow the 90-90-90 rule: hips, elbows and knees are each positioned at a 90 degree angle. Feet should be flat on the floor. If they don't reach, foot rests are effective. Check the lighting in each office. Is there enough natural light? Lighting has a huge impact on productivity. According to a study in the Scientific Journal, "the prime factor which affects the productivity of employees is lighting in the office". If necessary, add task lighting, preferably full spectrum light. Finally, are your computer systems up to date? Even a switch to flat screen monitors has a huge impact on the space and feel of an office and having two flat screens can improve productivity. Your walls, floors, ceiling are showing signs of wear and tear Sooner or later, every office cries out for new flooring and a fresh coat of paint. With shoe and boot clad clients and employees, carpeting is the first surface in your office to look well worn. Check out those high traffic patterns and consider installing super durable surfaces in those areas. There is high end vinyl flooring that looks just like wood and even feels like it, but is much easier to clean. New carpeting is a great way to bring in updated color to your office space while speaking your brand to your clients. Painting the walls a new color is a quick and one of the least expensive ways to update a space. Depending on the color, the wall color can help improve productivity. Keep the colors of your industry and your brand in mine as you make your choices. An office designer can help you with the right colors. Make sure to have the ceilings painted when you update the walls as freshening one surface will make an old one look drab in comparison. These are just a few of the most important items to consider as you move forward with your office renovation. Early in your plans, be sure to involve a qualified office designer. He or she can help save you money and time and ease the process so you can get back to focusing on what matters - running your business.  

When it comes to optioning the house, the primary question an investor should be asking themselves upon an acquisition is whether or not the option selected will contribute to the sell-ability of the house, relative to the actual cost. Obviously, there's a point of diminishing return if one builds a Taj Mahal in a land of tract homes. Despite the urge to go all out and deck the place to the tee, please resist the temptation. Doing so will only cut down on your return. This is particularly important given the fact that since it is an investment, an investment with an unknown value, it isn't prudent to put some of the potential gain at risk by purchasing unnecessary design upgrades that aren't critical. DOS AND DON'TS OF UPGRADES More often than not, homebuilders are aware of this vulnerability. This is more then ever true for investors, for whom they will provide a glut of options and upgrades that are grossly marked up. This type of financial exploitation provides an income stream that is indispensable to many homebuilders, such as KB Home, who are notorious for their exuberant cost upgrades and options. This system is so elaborate that their design department is a whole corporation of its own-which is known as KB Home Studio and rivals that of most high-end design centers. Not only are these stand-alone profit centers, KB Home has a separate business unit with senior vice presidents, AVPs, regional heads, etc., to take care of this organizational monster. The great thing about this apparatus is that it offers a plethora of design upgrades and options that are really top-shelf. The only problem is that you usually have to pay an arm and a leg to get these wonderful amenities. To relate a story, the first time I went through a KB Home Studio, it was baptism by fire. I spent over eight hours in the design center, split over two days. At $35,000 plus in upgrades, I estimated that it cost me about $4,300 an hour to shop in their design center. You can see why I was happy to get out of there. Keep in mind also, that you may be required to pay a fraction of the upgrade costs in the form of a deposit soon after selection. This is almost a certainty and industry standard. On average, the deposit amount runs 25 percent to 50 percent and are usually nonrefundable. The consequence of this deposit requirement is apparent, in that it makes it more difficult, especially as an investor, to walk away from a transaction. In spite of the latter, you can see on a pure convenience factor, it's hard not to like that a homebuilder can offer you lots of options. Having the "convenience factor" available is all good and well; however, it becomes somewhat of an entrapment issue when the builder offers a plain vanilla box without any or few upgrades. In these cases, sometimes builders will only go to "code"-meaning, only providing what is necessary to have the local housing department or building and safety, at the city or the county level sign off on the property and give it a certificate of occupancy. This for instance, may mean no rain gutters, no landscaping in the front or back, unfinished garages, which typically consist of drywall with a coat of primer, or an unfinished garage consisting of the latter but with exposed 2x4 studs, sheetrock, chicken wire and black installation coversheet. Other more obvious "standards" include all vinyl flooring and small 4x4 white tile for the kitchen countertops, or cheap laminate for that matter. To top it all off, in terms of complete ugly-fication, you might get the builders' special quarter-inch clustered marble countertops in the bathroom. There's a reason why even home design centers at Home Depot or Lowe's highlight these amenities, and that's because they're cheap and nobody really wants them. Consequently, many homebuilders offer the standards in order to eek out as much money as possible out of each home they build. As a result, a new homeowner and/or investor is essentially forced into buying options and various upgrades in order to avoid the home looking like a plain Jane. Having too much of a plain Jane can actually hurt a home's value. As an investor, it's up to you to define the balance without overspending on a new tract flip. That's the nature of making a business decision: you have to use your judgment. I've seen some homes that were literally destroyed from the inside out given the extreme lack of appeal that permeated the house as a result of no upgrades. As an example, spending an additional $4,000 to $6,000 on upgraded floorways and kitchen countertops is probably well advised. Most carpeting, even if it doesn't have stain guard, should be adequate for most homes. Don't be pressured into upgrading into a thicker padding for the carpet. Just go with the standard one-quarter inch, since most builders will try to get an extra $700 to $1,200, if not more, added to the cost of the house just for upgraded padding.

Ask About Customer Reviews Positive reviews are important when choosing the best provider. Actually, these reviews are left by the previous customer of the service providers. In these reviews, you can find out if most of the customers were happy with the service provider. The best company will have awesome customer reviews. Before you decide on hiring the best provider for the installation, don't forget to read reviews on trusted websites first. These reviews will tell you a lot about the services of the provider. Besides reviews, word of mouth can also tell you a lot about the company. As a matter of fact, word of mouth is one of the most popular ways of choosing the right provider, even today. Consider your Flooring Options Since you will be using different types of flooring throughout your house, make sure you do your homework to go with a flooring company that offers a wide spectrum of inventory options. For instance, you may want to consider a provider that can install vinyl, carpet and hardwood floors. Besides, the service provider should be able to guide you throughout the process of installation. After all, you want to be aware of what is going on in your house during the project.

After all, this project should not cost you an arm and a leg. So, if you are going to work with a flooring company in the near future, we suggest that you follow the tips given in this article. This will help you get the most out of your investment dollars. Plus, the contractor you are going to work with will do the job as per your requirements.  

There are many hotels in this world that pride themselves on their beautiful architecture. The Dolder Grand in Switzerland, The Langham Chicago, Hotel ME London, and the Hongta Hotel in Shanghai, China are all examples of stellar design that simply takes your breath away. But there's yet another reason that makes all these establishments unique - they've managed to do something that was thought to be impossible before - balance form with function and marry operational efficiency with eye-catching design, without compromising on class or style in any way. But what exactly is operational efficiency? Operational efficiency comes in several forms, and is not limited to intelligent design that streamline staff and service movement. It also has a lot to do with internal energy efficiency, waste management, use of smart equipment and efficient layouts, design that avoids clash of guest and services movements and using the right materials that provide massive returns on your hard-earned investment. Let's take a look at a few aspects of designing an operationally efficient hotel. The Future is Now If you simply prioritize small term gains in terms of cheap, more expendable materials, you're in for a hard time. You might have significantly lesser investment, but this will eventually be a maintenance nightmare. This approach neglects the long-term health of the building, and you'll spend way more than you would have initially. Hard-surface elements are highly favorable. For example, consider using a wood-grain vinyl flooring as compared to carpeting. Not only is it more efficient, durable, and easy to maintain, it also has a classier feel to it. Carpets tend to get dirty faster, require more cleaning, generates a high equipment cost and occupies more manpower. Another great way to save up on space is favoring showers as compared to tubs in the bathroom space - this results in no vacuuming, and smaller space to clean. Over that, hard-surface elements can always be renovated with the help of textiles, that add color and vibrancy depending on your design choices. This type of renovation is also easier out on the pocket. Minimizing case goods (furniture made of hard materials) is also prudent. When you are deciding to change-up the soft-goods, this option makes it cheaper and results in less downtime. Lighting and HVAC upgrades Traditional light fixtures may give you an ornate look, but they require more maintenance since they typically have glass coverings that are prone to debris, dirt, and insect collection. Also, the energy consumption is higher and waste disposal is a nightmare due to hazardous materials found in these lights. LEDs nowadays have incredibly versatile designs, and save costs when it comes to construction and operations. They also average just 20 per cent of the electricity costs associated with traditional lighting. While we understand that the effects of incandescent lighting are hard to achieve with LED, some areas like the signage, guest rooms, lobbies and conference spaces can be optimized to use energy-efficient lighting solutions. Occupancy sensors are also great, since they save you a lot of money by turning off the ventilation and lights when nobody is in the vicinity. Since lighting is required 24/7 due to security and other measures, minimizing costs when needed is necessary. Night-light alternatives are great, particularly for backup. HVAC needs constant monitoring, and you need to remove rigid points for supplying air and water at the desired temperatures. Switching to an IoT-based, centrally managed system that is responsive and dynamic may be expensive to begin with, but it will result in tremendous savings. IoT also allows you to monitor units for maintenance and upkeep, which if neglected, can bring in a slew of other costs. Other recommendations in this area include: Equipping vending machine lights with sensors Retrofitting backroom lighting with low-watt alternatives Reducing marquee lighting Versatile Spaces Use hotel spaces in a dynamic manner so that you don't have to construct additional structures, or decommission existing ones. For example, communal tables can work as bars during the night and can serve breakfast during the day. Hilton's 'Tru' in Virginia has used all its spaces for multi-functionality. They have a huge lobby called 'The Hive', which they divide into four zones: The work zone with desk space, and cubes for focus The lounge area, for communal activity A play zone, for indoor games An eating zone which is circular, so it also doubles up as a front desk with space for light meals and snacks. Keeping such considerations in mind, aesthetic, yet functional, design can easily be implemented. The Tech Edge Keeping guest preferences in mind can be hard. What is even harder is keeping abreast of all the changes in preferences, and wrapping your head around technological upgrades. While rooms themselves have a lifespan of years, tech can get obsolete within a short span of time - sometimes months, if not years. This is a problem many are attempting to work around, and the only tangible solution is to indulge in agile architecture that can easily accommodate these changes. In addition, using analytics and big data will help you get a better understanding of your consumer base, which, in turn, will not give you rude shocks when it comes to implementing a design or new fixtures. Individualism New travelers are mostly millennial. Companies like AirBnB are witnessing a stellar rise in their business because of how personalized their listings are, and the kind of hyper-local experiences that they've been curating. Branded hotels face a challenge in this regard, and retrofitting design to reflect this is highly recommended. When using materials, for example, pick locally sourced materials that foster local ties with craftsmen and other providers. Having a strong network helps amplify your atmosphere to reflect that local element. Do not limit your hotel experience to the space you possess. Yet other tie-ups with experiences that are regional will help you personalize further. From every branded property you have, a different experience should ensue to eliminate the monolithic feeling. The element of 'geographic' design is also essential. Your design should exhibit variance. In cold weather, walls that insulate better can result in immense savings in the form of energy consumption required to heat the property up. The same goes for disaster prone areas that need adaptive structures. This also comes into its own when differentiation is put into the picture. Design elements need to act as differentiators, echoing a versatile brand identity. Design for different segments of your guests, and act according to them, otherwise it may look absurd. For businessmen and corporates, the vibe of the room needs to be more streamlined and centered on minimal occupancy. For families, accommodations need to be more child-friendly. For travelers seeking a truly unique experience, research the latest functional quirks in design. Do note that the segments also bleed into one another, so being on top of your game will be essential. When it comes right down to it, operational efficiency is not difficult to achieve. You need to act with foresight and keep the bigger picture in mind. It isn't enough to fulfill only your short-term goals and take measures that aren't cost-effective in the long run. Sustainable existence has to become a priority for hotels and they have to factor it into their game plan from day one. Once operational efficiency is driving all your decisions, you are unlikely to be lead astray

Maybe you're buying a home that needs a remodel, and the garage floors look bad. Maybe you didn't even realize that your concrete could crack at all, and that if those cracks are not tended to immediately, they can make paint or other coatings almost impossible to apply. You might have had problems with flooding, the ground shifting, or any of a ton of other factors that can cause damage to your concrete in ways that really cannot be controlled. Regardless, sometimes you do need a garage floor covering. Why Can't The Concrete Just Get Fixed? Even though there are ways you can repair damaged concrete and paint over the cracks to make it not so noticeable, these methods always run the risk of returning cracks. In most cases, whatever caused the damage to the concrete in the beginning has a good chance of causing the problem again. As a result, the best objective is to forget about garage floor paint and purchase a covering in place of the repairs. Garage floor coverings are construed as tiles or mats. Most anything that does not coat the surface of your original concrete and adds another layer. You can use both of these coverings, but the first may not work in all situations. Garage Floor Tiles Don't Always Work If you plan to use tiles on a floor with only smallish cracks, you may not need to do anything with the cracks before you do. This is because tiles can grip the concrete all around the crack, instead. Because tile really isn't a coating, and is actually a separate material altogether, they may actually help hold things together and prevent expansion of old cracks as well as new ones. Just like any other coverings, the point is to cover any defects so that, while they're still there, they're not visible. Garage floor tiles are not ideal in situations where the concrete garage floor is stained, however. If you do use tiles in this case, the stains will end up "sweating", and dissolving the sticky stuff that holds the tiles to the ground. When this happens, the tiles will lose their grip, and the floor won't be in any better shape than it was before. Garage Floor Mats Always Work If the garage flooring is really messed up, you may have no choice but to use a mat. Luckily, mats are just as good at repelling chemicals as anything else, and they can look darn good while doing it. Unfortunately, however, you are just putting a band-aid on the problem, and it can eventually come back to bite you. If the concrete is really breaking up, it may end up with jagged corners which will tear the mat from underneath, especially when the mat is driven upon. You may not even notice just how bad the concrete is if it degrades further while covered with a mat. Should it become damaged, though, a mat can be pulled out and replaced with very little drama. That is, of course, if you can afford to purchase another one. Your Solution May Be Predetermined... When you think about it, the decision of what to use to for your damaged concrete is uncomplicated: using either mats or tiles is possible is tiles can stick. But if they don't for any reason, you are left with garage floor mats. Source

The master bedroom is the highlight of your house for you. It is your haven to relax and indulge yourself in. So why skimp out on designing this space? Whether you want luxury interior design for your bedroom or something classic and simple, there are a whole host of ideas to create a functional and stylish master bedroom. Let's take a look at some of the most enchanting master bedroom decorating ideas from some of the leading experts in interior design: • Create a nautical decor - deep blue and white which are reminiscent of the seas make for an inspiring nautical decor combination for the master bedroom. Use this colour combination for the linen, the furnishings, the upholstery and even for the wallpaper. An inspired idea would be to use the combination in stripes for the ceiling instead of in the wallpaper. • Use artwork as a focal point - colourful prints in place of the headboard will not only serve to add the splash of colour you are seeking for the neutral walls of your bedroom but also create a focal point for the decor. You can use the colours in the picture to coordinate and match the accessories and fixtures of the entire room with great panache. • Cabana style - opt for full length French style patio doors and windows in white for a Cabana style bedroom interior. A four poster bed with a net canopy will add the touch of authenticity to the decor. Keep the lines clean and simple for a classic look. • Palace themed - create a royal master bedroom with the right palace inspired accents. Luxurious bedding on a king sized bed with half canopy in a rich fabric, lush upholstered headboard and cosy pillows with intricate detailing will create the desired effect. Use ornate drapes and carved furniture and muted lighting with accented walls in a colour like pale gold or shiny beige to complete the look. • Monotone - all whites never go out of fashion for the master bedroom. The versatility of white and its ability to create a serene, soothing yet fashionable interior design statement is what makes it so popular among the leading designers from interior design companies in the UAE. Don't forget to use the rare coloured accessories to break the monotony, and revel in the luxury of the white interior of your bedroom. • Printed fantasy - got an old printed sari you don't know where to use? Make bedding out of it. Use patterned wallpaper in muted shades to complement it. For furniture, keep the lines simple, and to offset the bright patterns of the sari, use a neutral colour like white or cream. For flooring too, use a light shade, and throw an eclectic printed rug. • Go green - and we mean it literally. The touch of green on the walls can be contrasted with serene accents of white for bedding, upholstery and even the drapes. Use wooden furniture to complete the look. Accents of white as well as black work equally well with this kind of decor scheme. • The minimalist bedroom - this one is for those who want to avoid the frills and keep their bedroom as a space for pure relaxation. Get a wooden bed with a design that focuses on keeping the lines straight and clean; instead of flowing curtains opt for blinds; place only the most necessary furniture you want and there you have it. What you could get away with even in a minimalist decor scheme though is the use of colours. Be creative and opt for patterned tiles for the flooring, or paint the ceiling and voila, you'll have a masterful minimalist bedroom design without any fuss all the same. Source

It doesn't matter if you are working from home or in an office building, your office is one of the places you will spend huge chunks of your time. It is a space you need to be as practical as possible, and you also have to like it. It is very hard to work in an office you hate. If you dislike it, maybe you have an opportunity to change it. Here are a few ideas. Small Spaces If you are trying to create a new study or office space at home and don't have a designated room for it, don't despair. You can utilize small spaces or corners of rooms that otherwise are under-utilized and gathering dust. Look around you and see what options your home offers. Very often people overlook places because they have been deemed as too small. However, you can make small spaces look bigger with a couple of simple color changes. Once you have located the spaces you want to create an office - get to work. Check what furniture you can move or rearrange so it fits the space and looks at different possibilities for office furniture. Color Palette Look at what kind of colors dominate your office at the moment. Perhaps it's time to switch it up a little. Go bold. Pick your favorite color and use it as an accent color on different parts in the office. Perhaps the wall behind your desk is extremely boring. Paint it your favorite bold color to make space look not only functional but also stylish. If the wall is out of the question because you use it for shelving, a whiteboard, or something else, consider using colored accents in other things - binders, pen holders, notebooks. Empty Corners and Light Do you only have a corner to use? That should not hold you back from creating an office for yourself. Find a desk that fits in or makes one your own by upcycling materials. One of the most important aspects will be how comfortable you are sitting at the desk, so make sure it fits. Make sure that the light is appropriate and doesn't strain your eyes since corners can be quite dark, especially if the window doesn't quite provide enough daylight. Utilize Nooks and Crannies Perhaps you have an empty corner in your bedroom that could easily become office space? Put a desk against the window and when you get too tired from working -you can easily look outside and rest your eyes. If you have a window behind you - make sure the curtains block out enough light for you to avoid squinting, but make sure it's not too dark either. Make sure you your brain will look at a bedroom as a relaxation space so make sure you separate the two areas to separate work and rest. You can have modern office space and use softer tones and textures for your bedding and bedroom furniture. This way you can easily work there, but then separate the two spaces and not worry about insomnia because your brain is still in the fifth gear thinking about work. Secret Spaces If you don't want to spoil the rest of the style around the house, blend different styles and textures together. Find furniture you feel good about and that fits the rest of the style in your house. A classic desk probably will not look very good against a modern interior, so find something that looks good as a whole. If you are short on space, see what kind of shelving you can create or utilize around you. If you have space under the desk and it's not in the way - boxes are a good way to store items. Nowadays you can also get different solutions to neatly hide everything away when you are done. For example, hang a curtain in front of your workstation so you can hide it from guests and yourself. Otherwise, it might be glaring at you from its corner. Your home office will become the place where you spend quite a lot of time so keep it organized. If you need a little bit of mess around you while working - organize everything once you're done. It will give you the satisfaction of a day well spent and it will not stick out from the rest of the house like a sore thumb. Source

The Skinny on Commercial Laminate Flooring If you visit a flooring showroom, you're likely to see dozens upon dozens of different laminate options. Before you start shopping, make sure that you're looking at commercial offerings instead of residential offerings. High-quality commercial laminate is made up of a sequence of durable layers designed to provide superior stability and a long wear life. Choosing the Right Rating When it comes to laminate, it's essential to choose floors with the right AC rating. AC ratings describe the type of traffic that different products can withstand. AC1: These floors are ideal for light residential use in spaces such as bedrooms. AC2: These floors are designed for moderate residential use in areas such as kitchens and living rooms. AC3: These floors are ideal for light commercial traffic or heavy residential traffic. AC4: These floors are designed for light-to-moderate commercial use and feature an extra-durable wear layer. AC5: These floors are ideal for moderate-to-high traffic commercial buildings such as grocery stores and busy offices. To ensure the longest possible product life and best installation results, we only carry laminate floors with a rating of AC3 or higher at S&G Carpet and More. More Options for Your Space In addition to offering durability, laminate also offers flexibility in both large and small spaces. Laminate floors are available in a variety of plank widths and tile sizes. If you're working with a very large space, choose long, wide planks or bold tiles. If you're working with a smaller area, opt for tiles or narrower planks. Choosing planks that are too wide will make a small room look even smaller. If it's likely that your floors will get wet on a regular basis, you should also choose flooring designed to repel water. One great option is COREtec, which features a waterproof core. We recommend these floors for commercial kitchens and bathrooms as well as retail spaces with heavy foot traffic. Matching Laminate to Your Space Of course, laminate offers a lot of design choices too. It features a decorative layer printed to look like hardwood, stone, tile and an array of other patterns. As you shop, think about the overall feel of your space. Determine what furnishings will be placed on the flooring, and be sure that their upholstery and the flooring don't clash. It's a good idea to stick with classic hardwood and stone choices for professional spaces. Source

When you think of technology in the home, flooring is probably not the first thing you think of. Flooring is, well, flooring. It doesn’t have buttons or flashy lights. You can’t talk to it, and it won’t automatically adjust the temperature of your house based on your habits. But, that doesn’t mean technology hasn’t played an enormous role in the flooring products offered today. Each year, flooring gets better, stronger, softer and more durable. New materials and manufacturing technology are responsible for the wide variety of beautiful, durable floors available today. Here’s a look at some of the attributes you can now find in flooring – no matter what your style – thanks to technology. WATERPROOF Gone are the days of worrying that a missed spill could ruin your floors forever. You can now find both hard surface and soft surface flooring options that are waterproof. That means the product itself will not absorb or be damaged by water. Waterproof carpet resists water (and liquid stains) and won’t let those pesky spills seep through to the carpet pad and subfloor. This is a game-changer for households with pets. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products are made of a material that is completely waterproof and they are available in textures so realistic, you’ll hardly be able to tell it’s not hardwood or ceramic tile.   SUPER SOFT If carpet is what you’re looking for, you probably love the feel of something soft underfoot. Whether you have kids playing on the floor, love to walk around barefoot or just want a soft place to sit during movie night, you’ll be pleased to hear that carpet is now softer than ever. With finer, smoother fibers, the finished product feels soft and silky to the touch. But soft doesn’t mean weak. These carpets are just as stain resistant and strong as their less soft counterparts.   DURABLE From carpet to hardwood and everything in between, flooring today is ready to take what life has to throw at it. It’s not uncommon to see carpet with warranties of 15 years or more and hardwood with warranties over 25 years. This is all due to materials and finishes that truly stand the test of time. Scratch-resistant finishes on hardwood are great for standing up to pet scratches or those house guests who refuse to take their shoes off. STAIN RESISTANT Stains, especially on carpet, are a worry of most homeowners. With stain-resistant products, that worry can disappear. Even if you don’t have kids or pets in the home, spills and stains are bound to happen occasionally. Fibers that don’t absorb stains are easy to clean no matter how quickly you rush to rescue your carpet from a spill.   The content of this post first appeared in the Spring 2019 issue of Beautiful Design Made Simple magazine.
