There is a wonderful trend out there in the designing and architectural world that is gaining more and more attention. We all know that including houseplants here and there in a homes and buildings is quiet common. But there has been a rise in even more plant inclusion in exteriors and interiors. An association by the name of Green Roof’s for Healthy Cities includes architects, landscape architects, engineers, and horticulturists are trying to get the word out as to why and how plants improve our living environment. Plants have many benefits to bring to the table. First they are aesthetically pleasing, can be planted in an artful way, have a soothing quality on our nervous systems, purify the air, absorb toxins, produce oxygen, and aide in sound and heat absorption. According to the website greenovergrey.com, pollutants such as formaldehyde, VOC’s, Trichloroethylene-coming from ink, dry cleaning, and paints, carbon monoxide, benzene, toluene, and xylene are in homes eminating from man-made materials. The plants are an additional combatant towards minimizing these toxins in the home by absorbing some of the pollutants. Greenovergrey.com follows up by listing which plants are good for absorbing categories of pollutants. The website states that Peace lily (Spathiphyllum sp.), Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Bostoniensis’, and English ivy (Hedera helix) is good for absorbing Formaldahydes. Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), Janet Craig Dracaena (Dracaena deremensis ‘Janet Craig’'), and Ficus sp. is good for absorbing carbon monoxide. Golden Pothos (Scindapsus aures,), Devil’s ivy (Epipremnum aureum), and Philodendron sp. is good for absorbing VOC’s. Mother-in-law’s tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’), Chrysanthemum (Chrysantheium morifolium) Dracaena sp.is good for absorbing Trichloroethylene. And finally, they state that Kimberly Queen Fern (Nephrolepis obliterata), Orchid sp. (Phalenopsis sp.), Dieffenbachia sp. is good for absorbing Benzene, Tohuene, and Xylene. Many beautiful pictures can be found online with pictures of plants and lighting being used in imaginative ways, most notably vertical planting using modular trellis panels and cable and wire-rope net systems.

The first thing needed when designing a room is the space plan. There are many ways to situate a room and depending upon your needs, that will determine how you will situate your furniture. Make a checklist of what the furniture pieces that you are already using, but furniture that may be elsewhere that could be a good fit once again. Measure your room and each piece of furniture. Get rid of unnecessary things such as those gifts that you are saving, or your college school work up in the closet. De-clutter your interior space and get rid of things that you don’t need, use, or want or move it out into the garage (which is one level short of eventually tossing it, but if you need to place it in the garage so that you have less emotional attachment to the item(s), then by all means place it in the garage). I find that this has to be done routinely like when you change your oil, it is normal maintenance. Figure out how much storage you need. Out of your inventory, make a list of items that would make your life easier. Dressers, shelves, bookcases, and cabinets are items that I am on the lookout for. Consider your needs, do you need lots of little storage spaces spread out throughout the room or would it be better for you to invest in a wall unit that keeps your storage in one area and has lots of drawers and cabinets to put things in? Have you ever considered adding cabinets close to the ceiling? I have thought about doing this in my room for a very long time but haven’t because I know that adding a long cabinet that reaches floor to ceiling would be better if I could afford it. I am working on finding different free computer programs that help in the planning and designing of your room. I will keep you posted and give you reviews of the different free programs that are offered online. These programs are fun to use and can aid in saving you time and money because planning out a room is much better than physically moving it around, only to find once you finished you don’t like the way the room flows after all that work. Check back on Friday for the results of my research and reviews.

Your interior is very important even though you may not have guests over often because your interior affects your mood and outlook on life in a way that can seem unnoticeable, especially if you are in and out all the time. It may not seem as important as your car, or your clothes, or your hairstyle because not as many people see it, therefore not judging your interiors, but it can be more important because it is what you see every day. Your interiors can heighten or suppress your mood. So whether you are in the market for new furniture, accessories, flooring, drapery, or changing out your bedding, invest in yourself at whatever level you can afford. Design for you may simply mean rearranging your furniture, adding a new coat of paint, or changing your space a little at a time, one room or one project at a time. Just like anything worth doing, having your home reflect your personal preferences takes some effort on your part whether you enlist someone to help you or you take on the project(s) yourself, don’t fret this is the fun stuff. Begin by taking inventory of what you have, then see what you need as far as the functional things like as furniture, storage, etc. For me, my problem is storage, so I storage is at the forefront of my mind. For you it may be easier and all you need is the decorative portion of design done. The important thing is that you take the time to think about improving your environment. Adding something new to your environment has a way of lifting your spirits and if it looks good and serves its function all the better. Please take some time and browse through our site and see if there is anything that you may need or like. We are always open. 
