7 tips for a luxurious interior

1. Steel interior doors
Steel interior doors are the trend of the moment, but it's not for nothing. It creates space and allows a lot of light through. The black steel doors give a luxurious feel and are beautifully combined with the right floor and sleek walls. If the steel frames are pulled up to the ceiling, that gives even more room. Then you create the feeling of an extra high ceiling. Use the height!
2. Velor, velvet, velvet . Only one velvet item is needed to add a luxurious atmosphere to your dining or living room. A few cushions, a chair in the corner of the room or a 2-person couch are enough to apply this trend in your own interior. Dark green can be very beautiful, but there are also plenty of other colors. Think of red, purple or black. Lighter colors can be beautiful for larger items, such as a sofa. A real eye-catcher ... Do you want a professional design for your interior? Let us think along!

3. Bank NOT put up against the wall It may seem like the best "space" option to turn on a bench against the wall. Usually the opposite is true. The living room does not look smaller if the couch comes out slightly. Depending on the space it can go from 20 centimeters to a few meters. By placing the sofa separately from the wall, you create a luxurious look. You don't need a huge living room for that. Contrary to what many people think. Even in a small living room you can bring the couch forward a bit. This can be depicted in our 3D drawings. Curious? Then click here. Now only choose the right bank!

4. Discover the power of lighting
Many people, almost everyone, underestimate the importance of lighting. You probably also work until the end of the afternoon or even late at night. We spend most of our time in our house in the evening. Yet we often only think of the lighting in one of the final phases of the interior. Why? Lighting provides atmosphere, lighting can provide a luxurious feeling. The right lighting, direct and indirect, makes the interior. Do not determine the lighting afterwards, but take it with you in the first phase of the interior plan. Something to think about, right?

5. Less = More
In the living room you can play with different styles.
A luxurious appearance is not created by quantity, but by quality. Many small items, trash cans, can result in a too busy and restless appearance. Go for a somewhat minimalist look, less = more. Especially if you have the space. In a spacious dining room it is wonderful to place two large hanging lamps. A quiet, yet luxurious appearance. It fills the room without making it messy.

6. Combine vintage and modern
In the living room you can play with different styles. Combine vintage pieces with modern furniture. By combining multiple styles you can create an attractive space. Not everything has to be in one line in style. Precisely through playful combinations, a space can be given a luxurious, but also atmospheric character. Only modern and sleek parts can make the net miss that warm feeling. A vintage piece can change that.

7. Go for Gold
Think of golden home accessories or accents in the interior. Do not exaggerate, then it soon becomes too kitsch. A few well-chosen golden elements in the house certainly do no harm. It gives a particularly luxurious appearance when combined with the right furniture and colors. So go for gold!

6 architects about renovating: use these tips

Renovating is time-consuming, costly and often very complex. Architects are also well aware of this. With the following tips from six architects - renovation experts - you will not start renovating unprepared.

1. Consult an expert in time

If you want to make an offer for a home, it is never bad to visit an architect beforehand. That is also what Els Baeyens of Kant-Architecten thinks : “He / she can point out potential problems and give an estimate of the cost of the renovation or repairs.” Baeyens often even finds that customers contact them too late , only after they have already have done some minor 'urgent' renovations. "Unfortunately, for those small works they often did not look at the overall picture and it turned out afterwards that lost costs were incurred or that the already renewed zones did not benefit the design / plan."
That opinion is also shared by her competition colleagues. "The architectural consultants in qatar will be able to assess the situation well on site", says Andy Gijbels of NANO architects . "He knows where the stumbling points of renovation and renovation work can be: limited ceiling and window heights require costly interventions if you want to raise them, a concrete floor plate may have to be removed first or techniques may need replacing."
"In short," says Els Van Reeth van Plek ° interior and architectural firm . “Take on a renovation architect. He can see and solve possible later problems in advance. He also sees your home from a different perspective and may offer even more opportunities. And indeed: an architect requires a budget. But it saves you at least twice as much. "

2. Plan the construction program

If renovations or renovations take place in phases, it is always wise to have a specific goal / master plan in mind. Gijbels: "If you know where you ultimately want to go with the renovation, unnecessary costs and interventions can be avoided."
First and foremost, the state of the building must be viewed. Check whether the program is compatible with the building and whether the sop is worth the coal. An investment can sometimes be just as severely large that it is absurd to actually perform. "So it may be better (cheaper) to partly demolish and return her to build than to renovate it. There is no doubt about constructional or physical problems, or about moisture or stability, "says Wouter Peeters of Huisnummer 66 .
And you still have to decide whether to renovate your home and live in it at the same time. "Do as you step into work that you do on the one hand it can continue to live, but that the cost of the work thus sometimes fails a bit higher," Isabelle Vandorpe by giving 2 to A along.

3. Determine your budget

In addition to a good plan, you should also have a detailed estimate made. Baeyens mainly points out caution: “If it turns out that the planned works do not fit within your budget, you can go see where savings can still be made by phasing things , carrying out work yourself, adjusting the plan, etc. Better to adjust your dream house beforehand, then have to determine during the works that the money has run out. ”
"Renovation often costs more than new construction and moreover, not everything can be foreseen," says Peeters. "Provide a budget for such unforeseen matters , 10 to 15% extra budget is a must in this", Peeters and Gijbels calculate. The latter mainly deals with quotation requests. “A correct comparison of the contractors' tenders is essential. Tenders must always be complete so that any additional prices during the works can be excluded. An architect can help make this comparison. "

4. Put a focus

You do a renovation in 2018 with a focus on the sustainability of your home. Try to find a good balance in all choices between practical versus aesthetic, functional versus design, design versus building techniques and feeling versus reason.
Gijbels: “Be sure to think about how you can turn the renovation into an energy-efficient renovation . The government still gives a lot of subsidies for renovations and renovations. When certain choices are made in time in the construction process, these are always very conscious choices, for example: investing in a heat pump or rather a better finished kitchen.
Finally, renovation also means compromising with Andy Gijbels. “Removing load-bearing walls will lead to increasing construction costs. The challenge is to achieve the desired result with the existing situation and as little superfluous breaking as possible. If this succeeds you can only talk about a smart renovation.

6 steps to start a business from scratch

Every great business begins with drive and passion. Even big businessmen like Richard Branson , Oprah, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett started from scratch.

After having to give up my football career because of an injury and living on my sister's couch, my focus and passion were on sports. I wanted to have the flexibility to do what I loved and earn enough for the rest of my life, but I had no idea where to start.

Thanks to luck and persistence, that year I found a great mentor. I worked with him for almost a year with a salary of about per month. I dedicated myself to learning from him and did what I could to earn some money separately.

Step by step I began to realize where I should go. I loved talking to people and adding value to their lives, especially giving them what they needed to solve their problems. It was not as if I had everything planned, I just combined my strengths, vision and passion to create the ideal business that would move me forward. I assure you that you will be happier when you follow your passion .

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to feel really satisfied is to believe that what you do is a great job, the only way to do a good job is to love what you do. Keep looking, do not settle in. As with matters of the heart, you will know when you have found it. "

Once you discover it, take into account these tips to start your entrepreneurial adventure:

1. Investigate your market. Knowing the same thing as the competition does not help. Deepen Immerse yourself in your market and study it as an expert.

Search in Google keywords that are related to your industry and do not be discouraged if the market seems full. You can use this as an advantage. It means that it is working for those people and that you can make it work for you, there is money there.

2. Set a financially tangible goal. I set new goals every six months and I always go further than what I set out to do. Work from back to front and discover what you need to do each day to reach your goal.

3. When you create a website, make sure that the content can be shared. It is very good to give leaders your page as a reference, but when you are developing your own brand, it is important to create unique content on a site that your readers and users can visit.

4. Create a list. Email is a great way to make your business known, so you must make a list of contacts . While building a sharable site, make a list of emails that visit it. Give these people some value to then become buyers when you launch your product or service. Add a part to subscribe on the page and have a complete list of emails.

5. Launch a product or service that you can sell. If you have a financial goal that you must meet in the next six months, then you have to sell something. Take your time to find out what challenges your audience faces. Then create something that solves that problem. I know this is easier said than done, but it is very important.

6. Start NOW and improve as you progress. Many people waste time thinking about doing the perfect things before launching their business.

The logo, the website, among other things. Sell ​​your product before doing so for people to place their order. Focus on getting sales and attracting potential customers. Successful companies do this all the time and are not perfect on the first try.

Think of Facebook and all the changes and improvements you've had. Start with a small product and improve it constantly. Launch it online and sell it again and again without spending your time.

The most important thing is to enjoy the process and know that you do not have to do everything perfect. Start today, if not when?
