Good flooring is definately the major factor in your interior designs, it changes the character of the whole room, it’s also the base upon which you can create the style of your house. Besides of the all visual effects the floor must be useful, easy to clean and maintain, durable and waterproof.

The classical wood flooring is fabricating in two basic forms parquet and plain planks and is commonly used in livingrooms, but not only. Some species of wood can be used in the kitchen or even in the bathroom. These planks must be tough and definately waterproof.
There are many varietes of wood, from very fair to quite dark almost black ones. Wood flooring looks good in any styles of your interior, both in the rustic and modern houses. But remember, don’t choose the wood only by the look, because some types of it is so soft that by moving your furniture you can damage it. There are of course, also qiute tough species of the wood, but very often they are much more expensive that the soft ones.

Talking about the wood flooring I have to mention laminate floor made with the plywood or the MDF fiberboard core, it’s available in many different paterns. Most often laminate floor looks like wood, but sometimes it can even resembles stones or ceramic tiles. The great advantage of laminate floor is the price, this kind of flooring is usually much cheaper than the wood planks.

Kitchen layouts

Kitchen is  called the heart of the house, because people spend lots of their time there, preparing food, cooking and eating. There are many styles  and designs of the kitchen, in different colors, patterns and shapes, suitable to our preferences, needs and, of course, size of the kitchen. But let’s start from the beginning, and check out how to plan the flow of the kitchen in the most ergonomic and useful way. In this post I’d like to show you some basic kitchen design layouts.

  1. If you have long but not so narrow kitchen with counter at

    long and narrow kitchen

    If you have long and narrow kitchen the best for it would be one wall kitchen design, with the counter at one side and a fridge, a sink and a cooker standing
    in one line. It’s a bit uncomfortable for two people cooking at the same time, but sometimes it’s the only way of arrangement.

  2. If you have long but not so narrow kitchen with counter at both sides, the most useful plan could be the corridor layout. It’s quite functional by using the classical kitchen triangle. In this layout you can put  a fridge and a sink at one side, and a cooker at the other. There are plenty of free space left for cabinets and shelves.

    If you have the popular L-shape kitchen, the best way is the classic triangle

  3. If you have the popular L-shape kitchen, the best way is the classic triangle, but remember it would be more useful if you put the sink between the cooker and the fridge, because, first you take out food from the refrigerator, then you wash it, then cook, it’s tried and true. This layout is quite comfortable and has got enough room even for two or three people preparing meals at the same time. This arrangement gives also a bit more
    space for kitchen cabinets.
