What is the significance of furniture in interior design?

Furniture plays a great role in any interior design. There are so many furniture styles that it is really hard to make a right choice that will fit your home perfectly. So you should remember that before buying certain furniture, it is very important to define the style of the specific room. An empty room is a right place for your fantasy. The first thing that goes to an empty room is furniture. Then goes everything else - mirrors, lamps and other accessories. That is why the role of furniture in interior design plays an important role and it will mostly define what other items should go in order to finish the decoration of the room.

Is concrete flooring good?

Well, that depends on many things like: Location - concrete is cold, so where are you? Use - what is it going to be used for? Finish - What kind of finish do you desire? Age - How old is the concrete? Cost - How much do you intend or plan on spending? Maintenance - which will depend on the type of material you use on your concrete floor. Certainly, if this concrete flooring is in your living space, you don't want to leave it bare. I've done some wonderful work with Acid Staining, where there's no limit to design. You can cut groves in the concrete to make it look like tile, and stain it to look like marble. Remember, though, that concrete flooring is colder than tile, wood, etc. You'll want to inspect your concrete for cracks, stains, solidity, and moisture. Prior to staining your concrete, you'll need to wash is really good, with acid, then neutralize it to remove ALL of the acid. So, to answer your question without getting too far off with something that you may not even be considering...yes, concrete flooring can be good, even beautiful, and livable. I've done concrete flooring in million dollar houses, as well as commercial jobs. I've done it more in commercial buildings than residential homes. I've only done 2 residential homes with acid stained concrete in the last year.

Do you need to seal your travertine tile floor?

YES
natural stone is porous and will stain unless it is properly sealed Aside from staining, not sealing any natural stone tile can lead to mold and mildew growth, and the porous surface will attract moisture. There are cleaners to help with stains and moisture problems, but they do require work and patience. Also, make sure you clean your tiles thoroughly before sealing!!! If not, you are sealing in dirt, fingerprints, smudges, possibly moisture, etc... Let the tiles dry out for a day or so: otherwise you are sealing in moisture. I usually recommend waiting 1 week after the tile has been installed and grouted before scrubing and sealing.

How does one Measure windows for curtains?

Well when you measure blinds you measure inside the windoseal wall to wall. For curtains it all depends how far you want them to pass the windo vertically and horozontally First you need to decide where you would like your curtains to end in relation to your floor. Floor length curtains sit directly on the floor (order them 1 inch shorter if you would like for them hang slightly off the floor), trouser length panels "break" on the floor (add 1 -2 inches to the order length of your panels), and puddle length curtains form soft folds on the floor (add 6 - 7 inches to the order length of your panels). In addition, you will also need to consider your drapery hardware. For example, if you already have a drapery rod in place and would like floor length panels, simply measure from the base of the ring to the floor. For rod pocket curtains (no rings), measure from the top of the rod to the floor. If you do not have a rod in place already, remember the higher you mount your rod, the higher your window and ceilings will appear. I prefer to mount drapery rods several inches above the window. In most cases I will take the distance between my window frame and crown molding (or ceiling), divide it in half, and go a few inches above my half mark as I do not like even spaces above and below the rod (just a designer pet peeve I suppose). Of course, if you have extremely high ceilings, this rule changes. Try taking a long piece of blue painter's tape and making a line above your window on your wall where you think you will hang your rod, how does it look? Move it up a bit and take another look. Additionally, I like my rods to project atleast 4 -6 inches beyond the window frame on each side (if there are no obstacles) to allow my curtains to hang outside the window and give the appearance of a larger window.

Is it required to have a railing on the front porch?

According to the International Residential Building Code (IRBC) 2007, section 312.1, a rail is not required if the distance from the top of the porch to finished grade is 30" or less. This requirement applies to any point o, the porch, so for example if one side has a severe drop off and exceeds the 30", you would need a rail on that side, but not necessarily on a side that is less than 30".
