Big Enough Windows for Plenty of Sunlight

I’ve recently started to learn more and more about caring for succulents within my own home instead of leaving them on my back patio. There’s a lot about these specific arid-loving plants that I didn’t know about, yet I’m learning day by day what they prefer.

One of the things that’s hard to remember to do (or not do, in this case) is resist overwatering. These plants actually require less water than you’d imagine in comparison to other plants, and too much water actually is a bad thing for them. I’ve learned only to water when the soil starts to look dry. That’s when you know the succulents have sucked up the water existing and will take in more.

Just as well, they’re a big fan of lots of sunlight. So it makes sense to put them near larger open windows so that they get a healthy amount of direct sunlight. Again, this is what can be easy to forget to do since a lot of plants want more shade or indirect sunlight.

In fact, that’s what makes it a bit tough for me. We also have a few other plants that needed indirect exposure to sunlight, so we’re lucky to have a large enough window that provides plenty of lighting that can reach parts of my home for those plants that don’t need too much light. Yet the windows also provide the maximum amount of light needed for my succulents, too.

Just like anything, though, it’s all about learning how to read the situation. If the plants look stressed or off, they’re trying to communicate that they need more water or less sunlight. Luckily, succulents in particular are quite hardy living things, so they’ll forgive you if you don’t have the setup right directly after you get them. You’ve got time to learn their preferences and adjust accordingly.

So while I’ve only had these beautiful desert dwellers for a few weeks, I’ve really started to learn what they like and what makes them happy. Heck, I’ve already seen some growth from a few of them too, so I’m encouraged to not only stay the course with my existing plants but even pick up more succulents to take care of, too.

I’m quite thankful that my back windows provide the amount of light needed and are big enough to accommodate a host of succulents. If there were only a smaller window back there, I’m not sure how I’d arrange my plants.

Simple Guide for Room Decoration

It may be a little harsh but it’s the fact that there is no hard and fast rule that you can follow to decorate the interior of your house. But this very fact gives us the freedom to imagine what could be more suitable for effective decoration of a room space. With a little interest in decoration art, you can create highly sensible and good looking design patterns.

With that said, it would be worth mentioning a few interior decoration tips derived from best experiences.

• People usually prefer painting the rooms of new house before moving. This practice is only to provide good sensation; otherwise it has its pitfalls. You may be thinking that painting the room with same color as that of your previous home would create an equally customized environment. But there are certain other factors like change in architecture and difference of light source that come into play. Hence, you might not like the same color in different environment. The better option here is to move to the new place along with all your belongings and then paint your walls by matching everything practically.
• This would sound like good news for people on a budget that too much furniture in a room doesn’t contribute well in room decoration. The room interior should have some place spared which is possible only when you bring in the furniture not more than your needs. Moreover, you can free some more space by putting high-back chairs rather than dense sofas.
• While hanging the artwork on the wall, make sure its height is in accordance with normal human eye level, which is 57”. Nevertheless, you can hang artwork a bit higher than the normal if ceiling is at more height. But then again, room designing should be performed keeping human attributes into consideration rather than architectural.
• Arranging furniture on the rug in right way can enhance design of the room. There are three options to arrange furniture in accordance with the rug. Using first option when you have a bigger rug, you can place entire furniture on the rug. Second option is to keep all furniture off the rug. This looks particularly suitable when the size of room is small. The third option is to place furniture in a way that rug would come under furniture’s front feet only.
• Don’t forget to create a focal point of the room. There are many ways you can create a focal point. The most popular ones are building a fireplace and paneling a portion of wall. Stone panels give huge character but it’s the pricy practice. The better alternate in this regard is the use of faux stone which is colored and texturized to create an outlook of real stone.
• If a collectible, no matter how much you like, doesn’t fit in the overall design, don’t use it. If it is customizable, try to adjust it otherwise use something more suitable.
