Eny, the owner of the house, said he was not referring to the style of a certain arrangement. “I just liked this stuff. So as much as possible when I put in any room, at home,” he said. Even often, he continued, he bought the goods before knowing where to place them. According to him, he believed, there is always a place for collectible items she and her husband.

Incidentally, Eny and the husband is the person “ethnic goods and antiques. They can hunt down to the eastern part of Java Island. No wonder the goods they had countless collections. Some of them sold in their gallery, in the Kemang area. Much more, they “show off” at home.

Space with large openings can indeed reduce privacy. Imagine, how would you feel when you’re relaxing in the living room, diintip people from outside the home? However would appear uncomfortable or embarrassed feelings. But for the family owners of this family room, that’s not a problem. Space with large openings precisely their favorite. Even some space that requires privacy, has large openings. One example, the family room.

Most of the family room wall using glass elements. Rows of glass window located on the west side of the room. On top of the window area there is an area of 20 square meters skylights. Combination skylight with glass windows create an area of 24 square meters of space is very open. It was so bright in the daytime.

“Even when the newly completed house is built, the intensity of light into this room looks excessive,” said Rianto Wibisono, home construction contractor. This happens not because of design errors, but on material selection. Skylights should use a dark glass so that it can reduce the intensity of light into the room.

Many residents supplement the family room floor with carpet. Various shapes, colors, and materials can make a room warm impression.

In general, the carpet can be applied in accordance with the space and function space. Commonly used carpet is shaped like a box or rectangle. Other forms can be applied, but caution needs to integrate them as often so there’s no space in accordance with the harmonization.

For example, a round rug. This type of carpet used to bind furniture in the living room. If a square room, the room will feel full. Round carpet more suitable as a base table in the foyer. With the placement of the carpet, the table will look elegant and has a high hierarchy.

If you want to use to beautify the room carpet, you should first see the overall pattern. This is related among others to the presence of walls, sills, material chairs, tables, and other room elements. To mengaplikasinya, we need to combine existing elements into a composition that fits. In that merger, as much as possible try to ensure an element does not seem too hard or too soft. Thus, the composition should be combined into a pretty sight and balanced. If the carpet has seen “busy”, should, furniture and other elements chosen by design that looks more calm.

Question forms, should any proportion as long as seen from space dimension. Tend to form an oval rug fit when placed in the foyer. If placed in the living room or family room, the table above it should be smaller than the dimensions of the carpet. This so carpet is not drowned out by the furniture on it. Rectangular rug is ideal because it would generally be in accordance with the pattern TATAAN furniture, such as a sofa and coffee table or end table.

In place of regular curtains, try using café curtains. Type the curtain on this one will keep the privacy of the household, but still provide an opening for entry sun.

This curtain had been mostly found in café windows. He just closed some windows, usually at the bottom. This is intended to maintain the privacy of the visitors who were eating, the sight of people passing by, on the road. However, pedestrians were still able to briefly look into the café, through a gap at the top. Thus, if there was interest and empty seats, they can stop.

Café curtains can consist of one section, usually at the bottom of the window, or two parts, top and bottom of the window. This option is tailored to the size and shape of the window. Small window or horizontally elongated, more appropriate to apply one part only, at the bottom. Another case with a vertical elongated windows. For these windows, can be used in two parts the curtains. If you still want to use a section, select or create a curtain with a longer measure.

At home, these curtains are usually placed on the kitchen window. The reason, the kitchen window is not recommended to use long curtains flying if the wind. Not that café curtains can not be applied in another room. Some people have a place in the bathroom window. If interested, should apply in the bathroom upstairs. So that no one can peek at the bathroom to use.
