FIXTURES, FITTINGS AND FURNISHINGS

Inspiration and skill can be expressed through creativity which has no limits to it.However when it becomes palpable it may come across some obstacles.  The main obstacle that subdues creativity or even hides it altogether is dearth or lack of funds.Limitations of the budget affect the physical expression of creativity.Whenever you have to design a home, creativity is in demand and through wise use of a budget it can take on a material form.

Interiors of homes are usually carried out with a tight budget factor, and many ideas are put aside simply because of lack of funds.It is a challenge to the designer to cram in as many of these ideas as possible while sticking to the limitations of the budget.Whenever you begin designing an interior of low cost you need to pinpoint the old existing materials which include furniture and handcrafted objects which can be re-utilized by giving them a coat of polish or remodeling it to another use.

Plenty of material is there for a moderate modern decor. Depending on the design, furniture made from rubber wood will be half or less than that of solid teak wood.Its durability has a span of 5-8 years according to how it is maintained.With the changing fashions and designs in today's world it is sensible to use this rather than teak that lasts for lifetime.

Rubber wood is light with a machine finish which makes it easy to assemble and dismantle.If you have chosen upholstered seating it is best to use cloth upholstery as synthetic leather can be uncomfortable.As leather is a natural product it breathes, which synthetic decor does not and this causes you to perspire.Genuine leather of course is too costly for a low budget decor.

Cane furniture has an airy look that goes better in the patio or in an informal space.It is not so durable and may last for two to three years depending on its upkeep.It is not as comfortable as rubber wood or upholstered seats.  Rubber wood can show up in some arresting and neat designs.If you combine upholstered seating with cane it can give an exquisite touch.

When metal is used effectively it can look charming.MS steel is reasonably priced and can be used for seats and cots.It must be matched with the remaining setting.Using it in just a seat or cot may look awkward but if it is extended to the side tables, picture frames, curtain rods and candle stand, it will not look like a budget limitation but rather like a chosen theme.

Modular options can be used for side tables and display cabinets as they are not costly and also easily assembled.They are not as durable as solid wood.  For wardrobes use particle board and laminate as there are many exotic laminates these days that look almost like veneer and you cannot make out the difference.For the cots, a mix of metal and rubber wood would be good as both are inexpensive and look stylish.You can have bunker beds in the children's room if there is more than one person and they can be a combine of metal and modular.

You can make the beds fashionable by using right colors.Bunker beds are suitable for children below 10 and are not good for older children.For them you should go for a traditional bed.Sofa-cum-beds can be used to save space and are also less costly than traditional cot. For soft furnishings, many low cost choices are available.Imitation rugs that are synthetic and easy to maintain with designs featuring a traditional woolen or silk carpet are available. Another favorite is jute and cotton durries.

If you are interested in art works you can go to art bazaars that have local artists' work that are beautiful yet not costly.Some are very unique.  Prints of famous artists can be framed well and hung in the appropriate place to give a special effect.

You can have inexpensive yet stylish flooring with glazed tiles and hide the low cost factor by using the correct colors.Earthy colors are good but beige or ivory is best with granite or a darker tile skirting.A rustic blend for the patio will look good.Stone too is cheap as compared to marble and vitrified tiles.  They come in earthy colors and give a thematic appearance.

When it comes to the lighting you can have exotic lighting for the whole house at reasonable rates.Brush steel and glass or wood and glass are good low cost choices but they should be picked from a place where they do not charge too much for the designs.For some light fixtures a false ceiling is needed and a false ceiling for the whole room will be costly.You could go for the less costly yet stylish choice to provide this detailing only on the sections concerned.For painting there are many products to be had and plastic emulsion or the high class varieties are not required.Oil bound distemper is just as effective and much less expensive.

You can easily mask any kind of low cost decor with the use of bright colors along with greenery.These give a warm atmosphere to a room, for example a low cost diwan with bright cushions really looks classy.Indoor plants can also be kept in appealing but not very costly planters.
