New coat of paint freshens up popular Columbus bar

When we get a commercial project, it is our duty to leave the business looking 110 percent better than it did when we started. At Bernard’s, we added personality and sharpness to the interior of the building with a fresh coat of paint and the results were great!

If you are unfamiliar with Columbus, Bernard’s is a popular bar located on High Street, the busiest road in town that is a block down from the convention center. If you are looking for a great spot to watch a game, grab some lunch or drink with buddies until the bars shut down, Bernard’s has you covered.

It’s very important, especially for restaurants and bars with high foot traffic like Bernard’s, to have a very clean, crisp look on the inside. Patrons will no longer worry about leaning up against a dirty wall in the dining room or the restrooms.

For a lot of customers, cleanliness is a “make or break” factor. The difference that a fresh coat of paint can make is incredible. When an establishment looks great and has an updated paint job, customers will never have to guess whether or not the establishment is clean.

Bernard’s new coat of paint gives them a fresh vibrancy that gives the whole establishment a cleaner, lighter look creating a more casual setting for everyone to enjoy.

The new coat of paint makes the customers’ experiences a little brighter, and not just because of the paint’s shine, but of the light colors which don’t absorb any colors like dark colors like black, brown or brick red causing the room to appear dark.

When you find an establishment that not only serves great drinks and sets the mood for the night, but has a stellar fresh coat of paint covering the walls, you’re bound to have a great time!

Decorations

Not many things beat a good party. But a good party can swiftly become a great party when you add the most important thing: the right party decorations! No one enjoys going to a party that is barely decorated or decorated poorly. Poor decorations make a party seem boring and not special. But great decorations suited perfectly to the occasion make a party seem very special and heartfelt.

Hopefully every woman has experienced the pleasure of an afternoon spent at a lovely tea party. Gathering with friends and enjoying great conversation is something everyone loves. It is a ideal way to get away from the kids and relax without the pressures of home. Sharing tea and specialty treats makes any party memorable, but accenting that good food with appropriate party decorations makes any tea party even better.

Or maybe you’re trying to plan the ideal surprise party for your teenage daughter. There are many important things to think about and many details to get right. What time of day do you want to have the party? Will you invite just girls to the party or will you include boys as well? Will the party have a special theme, perhaps centered around something your daughter really loves? All of these are questions to think about while you plan. You can create a menu filled with her favorite foods and plan activities appropriate for her age and hobbies. But don’t forget the party decorations! Will you make the party seem elegant and grown up, or maybe your daughter prefers something cute like a beach theme? Whatever your daughter will enjoy, just be sure to get the ideal party decorations as you plan her huge surprise.

The right party decorations might be easy to find. Start by looking through some of your favorite magazines. You will be surprised by how many good ideas you can find. You may find color combinations you hadn’t thought of before or see materials you hadn’t thought of to make great invitations. Glance through a local party store and gather ideas for your upcoming party. If you look enough you can find the ideal party decorations for any occasion or theme you’ve in mind.

Planning a great party might be really fun. It is a great way to make someone you love feel special. People feel special when you recognize small details of things they love and incorporate them into the party you give them. Whether you’re planning for a birthday, graduation, anniversary or some other important event, be sure to keep in mind the details of the person as you look for invitations, food, games, and party decorations. And that last thing is key, because no matter how good a party is, nothing makes a party great like the perfect, personal party decorations you choose.

While you may be tempted to hit the local sale, carefully considering the interior furniture you select is much more important. Here’s how to do it better.

Interior furniture is any type of furniture that you place throughout your home. This furniture has several things that you should consider. First of all, it is designed to keep the look and the feel of your home the way that you want it. It should reflect the decorating style that your prefer. It should also be as functional as you need it to be. That may mean in size and in use. Finally, the interior furniture that you select should be of the highest quality so that you get long lasting beauty that is well worth the investment. Is that sales ad going to give that to you?

Let’s Talk Style

The first thing to consider about the interior furniture that you select for your living room, kitchen or your bedroom should be that of the style it offers. If you will be creating a room in which you need to feel comfortable, you need to look for the types of styles that make you feel that way. Just walk through a furniture department store, but do not look so much at the furniture as you do the decorating styles. Do you like a Shabby chic look? Or, are you looking for a formal, traditional look? Selecting the style that fits your needs will provide you with the best possible furniture.

Next, consider the function of the piece. The interior furniture needs to function in several ways. It should fit well within the room that you want to place it in, in the matter of size. Crowding a room with too much makes it overwhelming. Second, it needs to provide for enough seating for your family. If you have children, look for furniture that is stain guarded and easy to take care of as well. The function of the pieces of furniture should also help to enhance the items such as wall coverings, carpeting and other elements that you already have. Or, you’ll need to replace these.

Finally, consider the quality of the interior furniture that you place within your home. The higher the quality of the item, the better the piece is for an investment. Look at how the product is put together, nails will not cut it. Look for durability, stain protection and how authentic the piece is to the real thing.

When you put all of these elements together, you will wind up having the best type of product and interior furniture available. Taking a bit more time to select it will make sure that it fits well within your reach.

Interior Designers London

Sanguines and cholerics are people who cannot imagine themselves out of active, feverish life, without constant being in the in the thick of things. A choleric person is more sensitive than a sanguine one. His activity and dynamism commonly turn into impulsiveness which causes difficulties in systematic, goal-oriented activity. Sanguines and cholerics cannot be retrogrades and conservatives, that is why the interior design for them welcomes most bold stylistic solutions – from urbanism and hi-tech to avant-garde eclecticism. Harmonizing type of interior for a sanguine person assumes maximum flexible planning and vast open space. The optimal variant in decoration colour palette are warm and light colours, for example, soft shades of orange and yellow. As a rule, sanguines and cholerics prefer compact modular furniture of strict but at the same time elegant design. Stimulating interior can shift rather steady sanguine temperament either to the choleric type or vice versa to the more quiet and slow-moving phlegmatic one. In the former case the main emphasis in the colour palette of room decoration is on the play of contrasts, for example, terracotta colour which is harmonizing for a sanguine person matches with saturated red or black.

Surrounding objects and furniture made of glass and nickel-clad steel will increase the effect. The latter case assumes shifting the main colour palette to the cold part of the spectrum and shifting the whole premises stylistics to the ever-young classics. And for a choleric the harmonizing interior in its pure form designed to support his bursting temperament will hardly be justified. Stimulating interior with its main task of balancing the too much excitable choleric’s psyche, is formed according to the same principles that the softening interior for a sanguine person, with the only difference that the colour influence here is more expressive.

Phlegmatics and melancholics are completely opposite to sanguines and cholerics. Their life credo is calm, stability, ptotectability against the outer world and total lack of radical changes. By its nature a phlegmatic is a desperate conservative who has a soft spot for generally recognized standards while a melancholic is focused on his inner world or psychologically speaking he is a complete introvert. If to allow representatives of each psychological type to arrange their houses in the way they like, the phlegmatic’s house will look like an antique shop, the melancholic’s house will resemble an artist’s studio. Taking this into consideration, one can determine the basic trends of developing harmonizing and stimulating interior for them. The colour palette is characterized by prevalence of dimmed pale and dark shades, and the melancholic’s interior will suit decoration with original texture or ornament. One can reach a stimulating effect by dissolving the main palette with warmer and more alive colours as well as by introducing into the room a little eclecticism.

And finally when arranging a psychologically oriented interior for a person of a mixed type of temperament, one should define from the very beginning which features of a man’s emotional sphere need activating and which of them need reducing. Very commonly to do this there is no need to start large-scale flat replanning. Sometimes it is enough to select a stimulating area in any part of the premises, for example, in the working place. A harmonizing corner should be placed for rest and recreation – in the bedroom or the living room.

Home Decorating

Decorating ideas for your home can be a very creative and personal experience. You can spruce up a room without spending a lot of money. Start by saving fabric swatches, wallpaper samples, paint chips, and clippings from home design books and magazines.

Your bedroom is probably the most important room in your home. When selecting colors for bedrooms it is important to choose colors that are conducive to sleeping. Decorate your bedroom to get the space, furniture and look you want. Knowing your design taste can save hundreds of dollars in mistaken purchases.

An interior designer can help your decorating ideas, to make the most of your space. To determine your personal style, every room should have it’s own unique focal points that helps express the style and decor of the room.

Today’s living rooms are often open spaces that link through to dining and kitchen areas. Traditionally fireplaces acted as the focal point of most living rooms. If you don’t have a fireplace, select a focal point for your room and decorate around that.

Decorating ideas are like magic tricks. Using your space effectively goes a long way toward keeping your home both functional and beautiful at the same time.
