        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.

The Kids Palace 

                      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.

Rain Water Harvesting- The Effective Utilisation of Natural Resourses.

                                                                     We are having  the season of umbrellas and rain coats, season of the wet roads and filled up rivers in kerala. It is our duty to sustain the natural resourses for a better future.There are many ways by which we can preserve our valuable resourses, for example,Solar- panels,Rain water harvest,recyciling etc, here we are talking about harvesting the rains. Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer. Uses include water for garden, water for livestock, water for irrigation, and indoor heating for houses etc. In many places the water collected is just redirected to a deep pit with percolation. The harvested water can be used as drinking water as well as for storage and other purpose like irrigation.

Save Each Drop

Advantages 
                                                                      Rainwater harvesting provides an independent water supply during regional water restrictions and in developed countries is often used to supplement the main supply. It provides water when there is a drought, can help mitigate flooding of low-lying areas, and reduces demand on wells which may enable ground water levels to be sustained. It also helps in the availability of potable water as rainwater is substantially free of salinity and other salts.
                                                   

Demographic Significance For Kerala

                                                                      There are good opportunities for Rainwater harvesting in Kerala because Kerala is located in a geographical area with two rainy seasons. Kerala faces severe water scarcity between February and mid May every year. During summer, there are drinking water shortages. During this period drinking water and other water purposes become unavailable. This is expected in the coming years. In spite of 44 rivers and world's largest water well density, per capita surface water and groundwater availability of the State is lower than that of arid States of India. Moreover, Kerala has one of the lowest per capita rainwater availability in the Indian sub-continent and it is still decreasing over the time, even though it receives 3000 mm of rainfall, which is around 3 times the Indian national average. The high variations in spatial and temporal rainfall add to the complexity of problems associated with water management faced by the State.

Basic Layout

Components

A Roof water harvesting system should have the following components:

Down pipe and first flush arrangement
This is an arrangement to prevent the dust and other unwanted materials that may be seen on the roof, from reaching the storage tank. By fitting a down pipe with an end cap or valve can ensure that the washed water from the roof does not reach the storage tank. It is always safe to ensure that the first flush arrangement remains open during non- rainy days and should be closed after first rain up to the satisfaction of the end user.

Filter unit
The rainwater collected from the roof should be allowed to reach the storage tank only through a filtering mechanism. Rubble, sand and charcoal, as used in the traditional three-pot filtration, can be adopted here. 10 cm thick 20mm rubbles, 10 cm thick charcoal/coconut shell, 15 cm thick coarse sand, 5 cm thick 6mm rubbles etc. may be arranged from bottom to top in the filter unit. The water that is passed through this filter should remain safe for a long period of storage. Charcoal/coconut shell is added to eliminate gaseous pollutants.


Storage tank
Mainly three types of storage tanks are constructed for roof water harvesting. They are aboveground, underground or sub surface tanks.

Roof Type

Provision for drawing water and spill over
For drawing water from the storage tanks any method may be adopted provided it shall be drawn only when needed. The easier the method adopted for drawing water, the more will be the chances for its misuse. Three types of drawing water are usually adopted. They are by using a tap (small capacity tanks with basement and over ground tanks), hand pump (under ground tanks) or electric pump sets (large capacity tanks).
