SELECTING FABRICS, COLORS, AND SUSTAINABLE FLOORING
Charita Y Parker ID121Rp Donna Pennella February 4,2013

Flooring Living Room
I chose the Bamboo flooring foe the living room area because it is a truly sustainable harvested grass that regenerates at a speed faster than hardwood. Bamboo mature rapidly but harvesting does not kill the plant. Duro-design uses only fully mature Moso bamboo which is selected for superior strength and maximum hardness. I think it fits in to my overall concept because I believe wood flooring is traditional.

Duro Design Ash Brown bamboo flooring

Flooring Bedroom
I chose carpet for the bedroom because carpet is a natural insulator. Using it in a wall to wall application increases the R-Value or insulation level of the carpet area. Having carpet helps you save money on your utility cost while reducing energy. Clear Tech Filament PET Caret id the sustainable soft flooring I chose because it is made form recycled plastic bottles. It has the attributes of polyester as well as exceptional performance characteristics such as excellent appearance retention and longterm wear.(shawfloors.com)

    The work is unified by the use of an earth tone color palate; in shades of red, black, beige, and ochre. Due to this color palate, there is an antique feel to the work. This theme is further suggested by the collection of some things that seem like artifacts, such as the candlestick, a globe, crowns and scepter, as well as the painting of The Last Judgment partially hidden behind the curtain.…

    The uttermost unifying piece of this artwork is the color. The use of atmospheric perspective relies on the color palette. It heightens the ephemeral quality of light and nature because it is constantly changing. The blues and purples are subtle and encompass the majority of the canvas. The blues are minutely changed and layered against one another. Dow’s color palette is made up of only complimentary colors that strengthen the contrast and reinforce the inspiring nature of light and form. Greens and reds are prominent in the foreground and appear grid like giving each level of rock…

    Exterior Painting- Yonkers, NYRemember The Palette Rule Of Three: For exterior painting jobs, Curragh Painting likes to stick to the “rule of three.” You should have one base color for your home, one accent color for doors and other large fixtures, and one trim color for details. Ideally, you want all three to contrast enough to stick out in the perfect home palette. That being said, don’t choose colors that are garishly contrasting unless you and your neighbors don’t mind getting…

    Bamboo, the fastest-growing plant in the world, has become increasingly common in home gardens, in part because it is so easy to grow. There are about 1,000 species of bamboo, many native to East Asia, but it can be grown just about anywhere as long as the proper conditions are met. In addition to being ornamental, they are becoming popular as a flooring material in the West. In the East it is used as both a food source, famously for giant pandas, and a common building material.

In some neighborhoods they paint their houses modern colors to dramatize architectural details. Using bright colors on old architectural details can produce startling and exciting results. Choose colors that set your house apart, without clashing with nearby buildings. The landscape around your house is blooming with color ideas. Trees may suggest an earthy palette of greens and browns. A beach setting might suggest vivid blues, turquoises, and coral colors. Even the garden in your front yard can inspire exciting color combinations. Your paint color doesn't need to match the roof, but it should harmonize. Choose a color scheme that harmonizes with colors already present on your house. The color of your furnishings will guide you in the selection of your interior paint colors, and your interior paint colors will influence the colors you use outside. Try to choose accent colors for shutters, moldings, doors, window sashes, brackets, columns, and porch decks.…
