5 ideas to win space in your kitchen


If you live in a small apartment, you will need to find the best way to win space in order to live comfortably, without having to dodge furniture and stuff.

The first idea to win space in your kitchen at your apartment is to open a hole in your wall. This may not give you space literally, but it will give you a sense of having more space in your kitchen and the other room (generally the living room); plus, it may light up the kitchen. Besides the hole, if you paint the kitchen walls with a light color (pastel tones specially), it could also give you a sense of having more space.

Another idea in order to win space in your kitchen is to put folding chairs and table in order to fold them when you are not using them. Nowadays, there are some new pieces of furniture that are really cool and useful when it comes to saving space. All these things will give you mobility and space in your kitchen.

A third idea to have more space in your kitchen is to put a high cupboard in the corner of the kitchen. This way, you won’t loose any usable space and win it in other areas. In this cupboard you may put utensils and kitchen appliances, which we generally put on the kitchen counter.

A fourth idea to win space in your kitchen is to install big drawers to put pots (one inside of the other), in a comfortable and useful way.

Moreover it is advisable to keep all the kitchen appliances and utensils in a drawer or a cupboard, since if you leave them on the counter, it will take you space, and it may give you a sense of having less space than you actually do as well.

Lastly, in order to have more space in your kitchen, the best thing to do is not to over fill it with stuff, especially if they are things you don’t use often (or not use at all). If you learn how to organize the appliances and have all the things you use and need at hand, and leave the rest in some other place, you will have plenty of space in your kitchen.

So, in order to win space in your kitchen, be practical and look for the best way to put everything away but at hand.

Different interior paint qualities for your house


When it comes to painting your house, there is a series of tough choices to make. One of the most important is deciding which paint to buy. These days, there are hundreds of different types of paintings of higher and lower quality, of a different range of prices, styles, etc. Choosing which paint goes best in your house and in that specific room is a tough call. Sometimes, it may be more difficult to choose the quality and type of paint than choosing the color!

In order to find the best paint quality to paint the different rooms of your house, it is always recommended to choose those paints that are of a good quality. Even though they tend to be more expensive, the truth is that they tend to last longer. This means that a cheaper paint will probably last less and you will end up buying a new paint (and painting again) sooner than if you buy a better paint for your house.

Nowadays, there are different types of paints that are good to paint the interior of your house. For example, there are latex paintings, washable paintings, synthetic paintings, brilliant paintings, matt paintings, and even varnishes, among others.

Each paint brand for interiors have different names and some offer different types of products too, like some painting are said to last longer, or may be more resistant, etc.  For this reason, when it comes to choosing which paint to buy in order to paint your house, it is better to get advise from a specialist, who can tell you which paint is the best for you. The type of paint you need, will also depend on the type of material the wall of the room is made of, and the room you are about to paint (it is not the same to paint the bathroom than your room, or the kitchen)…

To conclude, choosing which paint to buy for your house is not a simple thing to do, so it is better to consult a specialist (it can be a salesman or an architect), since buying the most expensive paint does not mean you are getting the best paint for your house, or the best paint either.
