To make a fish pond, do not actually need large tracts of land. With the 1×15 square meters of land, then the depth of the pool should be about 50 centimeters high and about 35 centimeters of water surface.

Ponds to the park should be made vertically with the side wall is made varies according to tastes of the owner of the house. Design rapids or having a certain wall with a decorative natural stone such as coral can add live fish pond in your garden.

However, the pool is larger than 3×4 square meters, the bottom of the pond should be given a concrete construction that can withstand the pressure of the soil tectonics, if not at the base, the land could be cracked and broken.

As with other parts of the house, fish pond also needs good care and routine. When planning to make a fish pond, first consider its function, whether to fish or to simply adorned with appendages.

If it will be filled fish, fish species have adapted to the pool are made. If you want to keep koi fish, have a minimum depth of one meter.

The depth of this pool is intended to get a good quality koi koi can grow so quickly. However, if the depth of the pool is made only half a meter, then it can be filled with koi fish small size. In addition to the content and model pond, which is not less important thing is to keep the water supply.

If you decorate the pool is not to put the ornamental fish, maybe a pool can last longer. However, if the pond for ornamental fish, then the filter must be absolutely clean. So also with the disposal of feces. Furthermore, note also the problem of sewage.

Water filter system becomes very important to keep the water in the pool stays clean. Do not forget, each week the pool must still be cleaned of moss and the water drained once a month. Besides the function for displaying coolness pool, pond we can also add accessories around the fish pond to make it look wonderful stay.

Ornaments such as garden lights, fountains, and statues to complement the landscape design or shape of bowl as a decoration in the middle of the pond, in addition to beautify the look of the pool, also a marker of the building. In addition to accessory to harsh elements, you can also use the vines so that the pool does not look stiff but more beautiful.

Vines can be left to grow naturally as long as it is not wild or grow in places we do not want. Another thing that could be an option is to use stone as a material pool that will bring natural impression.

This type of stone temples and the like can be a replacement stone wall and paint the concrete. Natural stones become an important accent to create the impression of natural in the pool.

Not only in terms of accessories, ornamental fish species that usually inserted, namely koi fish, cook, or goldfish. You can also choose Severum fish, a type of freshwater fish which originated from the United States. The body of this fish is short, fat, and flattened with a variety of basic colors, like brown or dark yellowish brown.

The atmosphere of the pool in this comfortable home park, certainly not only appeals to guests who come, it also makes you feel at home for a long time on the front porch of your own home. And, place a pair of wicker chairs with a minimalist style.

The use of railings in some parts of the house more and more necessary. In addition to preventing the entry of uninvited guests, the trellis can also beautify your home. Complete the design of the house with the addition of accessories such as iron bars would have been very prevalent. Safety factors make many homeowners must install a trellis, although occasionally his presence would damage the display window. But, not with an outstanding model of minimalist grille today.

First, the first time using this trellis known to many people, the designs are just glued to form a line, horizontally, or vertically. This makes the display window does not look nice, even look like a prison because the material is made of iron railings.

Trellis window function not only provide added value aesthetically. However, as a function initially, trellis window is also useful as a security guard early in the house.

As the times, the current trellis producers are increasingly able to develop their creativity. Thus, the rise of an unusual trellis designs like round, diamond shape, to decorative shapes such as flowers or leaves can be adders accents in the house.

Before choosing a trellis to beautify the look of windows, there are several aspects that need to be taken to ensure that the application of these elements in accordance with its function. You need to consider the type and size of the trellis. Sometimes the windows and doors to be fitted with trellis does not have the same size.

If there is a difference of 0.5 inches between the bars and the width of the window, it will affect the neatness of the installation of railings. Therefore, installing a trellis requires vigilance so that the design is able to cover the hole to make it more secure.

In addition to size, material selection railings should also be taken into account. In this case, you must adapt to the character design of the house. For a home that has a minimalist design, you should use a wrought iron materials, cast iron, or steel. If the concept is a traditional design, use a trellis made from wood.

In addition to raw materials, you should consider the motive or trellis design model. Window grille design with a minimalist model is suitable for home or classic minimalist style. However, the trellis motif is poorly suited classic windows installed in a minimalist style house.

We recommend that you use a trellis for a minimalist home is horizontal when the curtains wearing horizontal blinds. Meanwhile, if you choose this form of vertical bars, use a curtain of vertical blinds.

When the material, size, and you specify the trellis motif, one that should not be forgotten, namely the selection of colors. The color of a window or door bars must be combined with a form of windows, sills, and curtains. Choose a matching color and have a character that can reinforce the style of residential architecture.

Trellis may appear different from the color of the window, but you can also choose a matching color with curtains. Not only in terms of size, materials, and colors, you also must consider the issue of funding to make the trellis in accordance with the wishes.

No one wanted his house flooded. Though still the dry season, we’d better get ready to face the rainy season. How do the trick? Factors such as rainy weather in Indonesia is not anything special. Given Indonesia is a tropical country which has high rainfall levels. What else in the area of big cities like Jakarta, which split thirteen rivers, especially the potential experienced flooding. So, what if you live in big cities like Jakarta, which is feared would flood every year? Aspects of the early planning of a building’s important role. Planning has to be conducted when they want to build a house.

Try not to build houses in flood prone areas. Therefore, you must identify the ecological system around your residential area. Design a building foundation that is located higher, at least 40 to 50 cm above the street front of your home.

Height of the house was easy to distinguish if your home is still in its early stages of development. However, what would happen if the house was designed without any preparation for flooding.

Raise the height of the floor so the final solution, but the calculated distance of the ceiling. Try not to get too close to the head of adult males. Raised interior floor has different consequences entrance height so that inevitably you have to make small steps. Or it could also elevate the house starting from the front area of the fence. However, this alternative is more costly due to the additional height is comprehensive. In other words, the garden landscape will change completely.

Another way is much easier and efficient, which is making its blockade on the terrace. This should be a last resort or for the prevention of emergency (temporary) alone. Because tricks like this have less aesthetic value, the beauty of the facade will be reduced and look strange.

The next trick is more aesthetic, namely by making ornamental pond in front garden. However, this one trick that can only cope with minor flooding. Try to make the pond deeper and more spacious so it can accommodate the overflow of water. The risks, you should bother moving your ornamental fish when floods come.

However, what may be created if the flooding had become unwanted guests in your home. Therefore, the houses were built as high as anything, it still floods will disrupt your convenience. Willy-nilly, you must mengakalinya with interior design and furniture selection which can “work together” with you in order to remain prepared for the rainy season and flooding.

There are some simple steps you can do. Simple solution is to make recharge wells in the area of the house or around your neighborhood.

Another way you can do is to plant crops other than grass. So in designing a home, you should leave the green land for water catchment. One of the plants is very important when the rainy season is the bamboo plant. Bamboo tree can absorb water in large quantities so it can function as a buffer (anchoring). Just imagine, a bamboo rod with a diameter of about three millimeters can grow three feet in the next 24 hours, but the bamboo grown.

If your house is already flooded and there are parts of a damaged house, you do not hesitate to consult with contractors. Besides, you still have to consult with contractors associated with the renovation would be done.

Compared to the work itself is time consuming and costs more, the contractor would know more about the technical aspects and details.

Vase as an accessory in nearly every home. The model also continues to follow the trend. Translucent or transparent, even from the crystal was more and more popular.

Bored stiff with the ceramic model, why you do not glance at the glass vase? Vases of this type are not merely high slender crystal with many profiles. But has evolved into many models and colors.

Many are choosing glass vase, particularly those requiring the element of color, yet not too heavy.

Use ceramic vase does give color, but more solid. And usually also create an impression of an oriental ethnicity. Vases of this type tend to be less suitable for house minimalist model. While for the house of a certain model of classical, the choice of a crystal vase is more appropriate. Crystal from Czechoslovakia said superior. Number one Czech-made crystal. For that, the price is too special.

Special price commensurate with quality crystal. For a vase measuring 30 cm, crystal cutting techniques are taken accurately to get the perfect texture and motif.

Appears an opinion that glass vase can give the impression widely in the home. The opinion was not entirely correct. But give the impression lighter. Glass material, especially the nodes can be softened.

Use a vase now not merely as a place to lay flowers. The more creative, more and more that can be applied. Like putting dry twigs in the sand, filled with colorful hydrogel, making rainbows in the newfangled convex vase, or just leave blank.

Options form vase kinds, without any interest we can expose any of its forms.

Colored vase, such as magenta, fuschia, and blue, by itself is already pretty small in size dipajang.Jika, vases of different colors can be arranged in rows and storied.

In addition to glass, there’s a kind of material is acrylic. The form also with the existence of clear synthetic plastic. Most models for the solid square and less water. Mengakalinya, acrylic boxes can be filled with sand or gravel that has been colored.

Crystal vase can look pretty with extra touches. Like a big ribbon wrapped cloth, the easiest thing done to change the face of the old vase. Keep in mind, choose a matching color ribbon with flowers or any color to an empty vase.

Another trick is to wrap wire vases with mosquitoes. In order to look more artistic, the wire is colored with spray paint. Or if there is a piece of colored cloth or paper, can also be used as a wrapper. Crystal vase also changed the face instantly.

Beautiful vase can be placed anywhere. For small vase with fresh flowers, can be placed on the coffee table or preparing a special table standing in the corner. Island table in the kitchen area was suitable to be placed clear vase. While for large vase, no harm is placed in the larger table as a dining table.

Do not be put on the floor because the vulnerable. Especially if there are small children at home. For security purposes, should be placed out of reach of children.

Lights are installed outside the home (outdoor) is often neglected. In fact, these exterior elements need proper care and maintenance.

As the name implies, outdoor lights are specially designed to be placed outside the home. In terms of form is not much different, but the outdoor lights have a much stronger resistance than indoor lights.

Because outdoor lighting is placed outside the home that in fact often in direct contact with heat, cold, wet, dry, durability has been designed to be resilient against the weather. From the physical aspect of indoor with outdoor lighting is usually no difference. Outdoor lamp is made with good density in each gap is addressed so as not exposed to rain water.

Even if there is an open model, usually either the lamp or electrical parts sealent closed. For example chandelier model with clam shell design that is often installed in-entrance part of the facade. This lamp looks very vulnerable retain water. However, the bottom has been designed to be impervious to water.

Open lamp model like this is also usually easy to clean because due to frequent dust and water, and not infrequently gross fast lamp shells, so easy to clean without having to disassemble the lamp.

Garden lights outdoor lighting category, the designs have been adapted to the place of the course in the park, such as paint, materials, and weather-resistant design.

However, as a reminder, too, if not impossibility indoor lights installed in outdoor or vice versa, outdoor lights installed in the indoor. Because, basically, the more it determines the positioning is the design.

Laying the outdoor lighting designs that fit in the house is fine, which is important not to be strange, for example, a standing lamp used in the middle of the park, but put in the corner of the house. Essentially returned to power and coherent artistic appropriate match.

Once you understand the differences of indoor with outdoor lights, now we will discuss one by one trick or treating and tips in its layout. Caring for outdoor lighting (including lights inside the park) is not difficult, must be periodically maintained, ie by cleaning the shell.

For example light classical style garden, usually a wavy design, this is often save the dust and if a good quality paint will not easily rust on the sidelines of storing water.

For open-access lid so the lamp bulb assembly, clean the inside of the dust collected. Often the dust settles, exposed to rain water so causing black spots, it is not difficult to clean, just need to wipe, but if left will reduce the lighting and the lights look so dull.

Parts of the outer shells, clean them regularly. Moreover, the rainy season like now, right now, try two weeks. If it seldom rains, at least once a month cleaning. Materilized part of iron, provide layers of stainless. Can also before reinstalling painted using oil paint, usually stronger on the water and heat.

If it had started to rust, should be repainted. Before you start painting, go to the light bulb and a part made of glass. If the glass is made permanent, not losing my mind, use the cover of a newspaper, give the tape at the border of the glass with iron (the part that wants to paint them).

If the material is made of steel chrome lamps, there is no easy way you can do. The only way is to re mengkrom, if you plan to change how it looks with materials and paint, it will be vain. Chrome layer can not be painted, for a moment would have to peel, especially if it hit the outside air, you should not.
