Paint Your Imaginations!! - A quick guide for coloring your life spaces.

            The home ambiance is all about having the feel of safe , secure and comfort. It is the only place you wanted to be whenever you are tired or need a good relaxation. The interiors, artifacts, structures, show cases, interior lights etc constitutes to this level. Your home is one of the center points of your life, a place of enjoyment and of sanctuary.As such, you’ll want a home that reflects who you are.

        When decorating, the smallest details can make a difference in the image you present. An important part of those details is the colors you choose to use in decorating the interior of your home. The right color palette helps to complete the room in a way few other decorative elements can.

The Wonder Castle

                       We all know that color has the power to transform an interior. But how do you use it? A fresh coat of paint is the easiest way to make a change at home but choosing a color palette can be daunting and, at times, confusing. There are some scientific and logical methods on choosing the right ambiance for your home, 

                       Develop a color palette for each room based on the room's specific use, the structure of the room, and the emotional impact you wish the room to make on the occupants. Use a favorite object from the room such as a rug or furnishing, or a decorative element such as a painting or vase on which to build the palette. Take the predominant color of the item and base the palette on that. Use the item color as the main color for the walls, and consider using complementary colors or shades of the same color to paint the wall trim, architectural details and ceiling.
Choose the right colors

                       Use lighter colors to make a room more welcoming for visitors. Orange and yellow colors invoke feelings of warmth, and are useful for living and entertaining areas. Green and blue shades are more calming and tranquil, and are suitable for home libraries or offices.Increase the shading of colors to invite a sense of vibrancy into a room. Add reds and violets for passion and stimulation. Be careful not to color the space too vibrantly though, as strong colors can overwhelm over time, reducing comfort within a room.

                       Incorporate every part of a room’s structure into the color scheme, from walls and carpets to ceilings and window treatments. Make sure all colors in the room complement one another. Include your room's furnishings and decorations in the color scheme. Watch out for any conflicting colors within your color scheme that may jar the balance of the room. 

                       Test the appearance of your color choices in the rooms before actually applying the colors. Obtain a sample of each chosen color and place the sample on a neutral background piece, like a muted grey. Place the background and sample piece against the surface where you intend to apply the color so that you can get a sense of how it looks alongside the room’s furnishings. Test the appearance using varying light levels as well to determine how the room will look at all times.

                      Write down your final color choices for each room and leave the sample colors in place. Live with the samples in place for a week, to make sure you're absolutely comfortable with the colors chosen, changing them if necessary, before buying the paint supplies you need to apply your chosen colors to the wall surfaces of your home.

Save For A Better Future!!



                                                                 Energy conservation means to reduce the quantity of energy that is used for different purposes. This practice may result in increase of financial capital, environmental value, national and personal security, and human comfort.Individuals and organizations that are direct consumers of energy may want to conserve energy in order to reduce energy costs and promote economic, political and environmental sustainability.


Industrial and commercial users may want to increase efficiency and thus maximize profit.Right in your own home, you have the power to save money and energy. Saving energy reduces our nation's overall demand for resources needed to make energy, and increasing your energy efficiency is like adding another clean energy source to our electric power grid.

if we act now. A few simple steps and we can avoid power cuts. But before we list out those steps, just ask yourself, “Am I willing to do my bit for the future of our great city?” I think we all know the answer.

These are the important steps by which you can make the change ,
Shift consumption away from the 10 am - 8 pm peak times:
Let's avoid adding to the power demand during this peak time. By simply using some of our common electrical appliances before and after this time band. Washing machines, geysers, irons, building water pumps – all can be shifted without much inconvenience.


Switch off your devices when not in use.
ACs at 24ยบ C
ACs are possibly the biggest cause of any summer power crisis. Every time one more AC is switched on and every time the temperature is lowered by one more degree, a huge load is added to the system. We can however work towards uninterrupted power – if we give up ‘freezing’ for ‘cool enough’. Let’s all go 24 this summer - it's actually quite comfortable.

Switch off from the plug point
Whenever we leave a plug point ‘ON’ after switching an electrical appliance ‘OFF’ with the remote, power is still being consumed in ‘stand-by mode’. And no small amount either – these little wastages account for an unbelievable 5% of the city’s power consumption. You will agree that's a sheer waste. So, after usage, let's switch off our ACs, TVs, washing machines, microwaves, geysers and mobile chargers from the plug point. Every single time.


It is up to each one of us to make the change - if you will, India will,

Make sure you switchoff your deivces too
Lighting
  • Switch off lights and fans when not required.
  • Replace bulbs with tube lights & CFL(Compact Flourescent Lamps).
  • Utilise natural light by using electronic chokes & regulators.
  • Optimise use of lights in malls, multiplexes & hotels.
  • Turn off the lights when not in use.
  • Take advantage of daylight by using light-coloured, loose-weave curtains on your windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room. Also, decorate with lighter colours that reflect daylight.
  • De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination.
  • Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it.
  • Compact fluorescent bulbs are four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and provide the same lighting.
  • Use electronic chokes in place of conventional copper chokes.



  • Electric iron


      • Select iron boxes with automatic temperature cutoff.
      • Use appropriate regulator position for ironing.
      • Do not put more water on clothes while ironing.
      • Do not iron wet clothes.
            Fans

            • Replace conventional regulators with electronic regulators for ceiling fans.
            • Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling fans
            Refrigerator


            • Do not open door frequently.
            • Set thermostat in medium cooling position.
            • Keep adequate space from wall.
            • Do not overload the refrigerator.
            • Defrost your refrigerator regularly.
            • Regularly defrost manual-defrost refrigerators and freezers; frost buildup increases the amount of energy needed to keep the motor running.
            • Leave enough space between your refrigerator and the walls so that air can easily circulate around the refrigerator.
            • Don't keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold.
            • Make sure your refrigerator door seals are airtight.
            • Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered foods release moisture and make the compressor work harder.
            • Do not open the doors of the refrigerators frequently.
            • Don't leave the fridge door open for longer than necessary, as cold air will escape.
            • Use smaller cabinets for storing frequently used items.
            • Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the fridge.
            Washing Machine


            • Use after 10 PM or before 10 AM.
            • Run washing machine only with full load.
            • Use the shortest cycle time.
            • Always wash only with full loads.
            • Use optimal quantity of water.
            • Use timer facility to save energy.
            • Use the correct amount of detergent.
            • Use hot water only for very dirty clothes.
            • Always use cold water in the rinse cycle.
            • Prefer natural drying over electric dryers.
