Improvements in the Construction Business

After several months of lack of news, finally, during the last 4 months there has been an increase in the percentage of sales on the construction supplies. From April, 2013, the sales over the supplies for the construction business have gone up. During July, the sales continued to climb up and they have reached an increase of more than 10%.

According to the INDEC (the government’s institution of Argentina in charge of taking statistics over the economic activities, among other measurements and duties), during the first two trimesters of 2013, the construction activity has evidenced an increase of 7% and 8.2% (respectively). Moreover, the positive news has also reached the real estate business, since in September an increase of 6.3% on the signing of title deeds has been registered in the “Colegio de Escribanos Públicos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires” (The Notary Public’s institution of Buenos Aires).

This information about the increase on the sale of construction supplies has been given by the "Indice Construya", an index that it is elaborated by companies that manufacture and sell supplies for constructions.

These positive results would mean an increase and reactivation on the constructions in Buenos Aires. Therefore, these results could mean the beginning of new expectation on the real estate business, which has been waiting for a change for many months now.

Results show that the construction business is finally moving up instead of being frozen for many months in the last year. Still, it is a matter of waiting and seeing if the numbers continue to increase in the next months both in the construction and the real estate markets.

Those who are wondering which are the coming trends on decoration for 2014, we will give you some tips and up coming flashes so that you start thinking about what changes you may make in your house.

According to some decoration specialists, during 2014, the golden-coloured materials will be incorporated in the decoration of rooms. Only a few touches of gold (like in the pictures frames, or mirrors, or the edges of your cushions) will be one of the upcoming trends for 2014 in Buenos Aires. You should always bear in mind that if you want to add something new and chic in the decoration of your house, make sure it matches with everything else you’ve got at home, in order to keep balance.

Moreover, shiny colours will be included in the decoration of many trendy places in 2014. Having a touch of shiny colours like, green, fuchsia, blue, and orange, among others will be a popular choice. On the other hand, those who prefer having a more sober decoration, black will be cool and trendy as well in 2014.Those people who would rather decorate their house with black, instead of having shiny colours, may go for it and choose black cushions, or vases, or even frames for their different rooms at home. Be careful not to abuse of black, since it could make the room look smaller and darker if you have too many things in black. It is always recommended to use neutral colours, like the always-in-trend- white, and add some touches of other colours (like black or the new shiny ones) in order to keep balance at home.

In 2014, another thing that will be trendy when decorating your rooms at home are the geometric shapes, used in fabrics, tapestry, and even furniture…
