The Builders Saw Horse, although not specifically used as a traditional workbench, serves a purpose for anyone engaged in building projects. While discussing his ongoing projects with a neighbour (Seann), he said that the Saw Horse is his prefered surface as well as his most utilized.

Seann had recently replaced his sawhorse and I’d opted to trace the older one as they have more texture to them as the newer ones haven’t been used as much the saw horse I’d chosen had been outside for a while but I figured that wouldn’t be to much of an issue for right now

The Saw Horse is a multifunctional tool for people working on building projects. It allows for easy attachment of boards, transforming it into a writing surface for planning, measuring, and a seat when clear of stuff. Its adaptability and practicality make it an indispensable tool in various projects.

this is the first little excursion of branching out to others about there own workbenches/surfaces id asked Seann what his most used surface was (as he doesn’t have a workbench set up) as i wanted to see if it was there was a variation between his own projects and what others (i have yet to reach out to) might say in regard to work surfaces (Since some people I’ve asked don't completely understand that the charcoal won't leave a mark, I'm having trouble persuading folks to allow me to trace their workbenches. I don't want to stress the issue, though, since I can always ask again and provide better examples. So I'm now attempting to find a workaround for each work surface, such as the sawhorse, by reaching out to people I know, but the goal is to reach out to more people that ideally I don't know who have a wide range of work practises.

despite this, I am organising a meeting with a home jeweller and potter (someone I know) who uses wire wrapping and ceramics which are two separate practices that use separate benches with the jewellery being made on one and the ceramics being made on another smaller one (unsure if I’ll be able to do both due to schedules and availability of workbench as they may have a work currently in progress)

Because the eyes skating endows one with are surviving eyes, dreaming eyes, repurposing eyes, multifunctioning eyes, metaphoring eyes, analogous-ish to my eyes for unused or underused buildings that might be converted into basketball courts. They are a dime a dozen, really: retired industrial facilities or, even better, old community centers or churches, whose ceiling on the sides are low enough you’d have to adjust your shot, the way we do on those snug courts with the overhanging trees. And you know, I’m being fancy: what about milk crate hoops? Shopping cart hoops? What about those guys at the corner of Twenty-seventh and Brown in Philly who bungeed a little rim to the phone pole? What about a line on a wall? What about a line in the air?

How often I see a paved gully on the side of the road and think, almost like a mantra: skateable. A marble bench in a courtyard: skateable. The not-totally-verticle wall at the almost brand-new and heavily endowed Global & International Studies (the world-is-a-market studies? International theft studies? Same shit, different name studies?) Building on campus: ooh, very skateable. Or, the other day, riding my bike to the community garden, I followed the enticing scent of newly poured asphalt (this toxic affection a skaterly remain) to a new local food hub about to open, and emerging from that soon-to-be-very-smooth parking lot was an old waterpipe, about six inches in diameter, slick, bent at maybe a forty-five-degree angle, ending four or six inches from the newly painted (white) wall, which would, be, for a skater maybe not me but maybe, I’m thinking grind the pipe up to a wallride (this sentence is an alibi for when the smudgy black rainbows arrive): damn, so skateable.

And the damn so skateable thing (yeah, it’s called, often, a spot, which is something like a stain) the skater stumbles upon is almost never kept to themselves. Remember that bucket. Share your Independent. Rather, after a test run or two, word is sent—in our day, if Sugar was around (so named because he liked to snort Smarties), he was dispersed on his Santa Cruz Slasher, like Pheidippides; these days people probably resort to the cellular phone (good use for such a devilish device!)—to the hordes, big or small, to join us at this new spot, this new stain, this wreckage, this abandonment, this ruin, this commons, this c’mon.

Scientists create Liquid Trees; a tank full of water and micro-algae that could be an alternative to trees in urban areas.

Two photos attached of a giant tank of water filled with green microalgae with a bench in front of it with a little wall on the left.

Reply by Hurt CoPain:

Yall it's supposed to help fight pollution. Microalgae is 10 to 50 times more efficient than trees. It takes the place of two 10 year old trees. It's done in urban areas in Serbia where air pollution from CO2 is really bad. So instead of waiting ten years for a tree to grow, you're getting pollution fighting power, a bench, a solar powered light, and a charging station right now.

“The photobioreactor is a completely new biotechnological solution for air purification and the production of oxygen. In an aquarium of six hundred liters of water, we have algae that bind carbon dioxide and produce pure oxygen through photosynthesis. The project is designed to be multifunctional. LIQUID3 is also a bench, it has chargers for mobile phones, as well as a solar panel, thanks to which the bench has lighting during the night. The municipality of Stari grad has decided to support this project which directly contributes to improving the quality of life of our fellow citizens, public health and cleaner environment through using smart and innovative solutions”, said Bojan Bojić, head of the Department for Social Affairs and Development Projects in Stari Grad.

Why Choose Reliable Kitchen Cabinet Styles for Mudrooms?

When we think about kitchen cabinet styles for mudrooms, it’s clear that reliability plays a crucial role. We all know that mudrooms face daily challenges, from muddy shoes to overflowing sports gear. Choosing durable cabinets not only helps keep our spaces organized but also enhances the overall aesthetic. However, it’s not just about durability and looks; there are several factors to consider that can significantly impact our choices. What if we explore how timeless designs can serve us better in the long run?

Importance of Durability

When it comes to mudrooms, durability is key. We all know that this space serves as a vital transition area between the outdoors and our homes, making it essential to choose materials that can withstand daily wear and tear.

Durable mudroom cabinets, crafted from high-quality kitchen cabinetry, provide the necessary functionality to manage the clutter that comes with family life, especially for those of us with children or pets.

Think about the benefits of well-designed storage space in our mudrooms. By incorporating robust cabinets, we can create designated areas for shoes, bags, and sports equipment, enhancing our organization and cleanliness.

Materials like tiles and wipeable surfaces are perfect for this environment, as they resist dirt and are easy to maintain.

Ultimately, investing in durable cabinetry not only improves our mudroom’s longevity but also ensures it remains an inviting and efficient part of our homes.

Let’s prioritize durability in our mudroom designs to create a functional space that truly meets our needs, while seamlessly connecting to the kitchen and overall aesthetic of our living areas.

Enhancing Organization

To create an organized and functional mudroom, we need to prioritize smart storage solutions that cater to our daily needs. By incorporating customizable designs, we can enhance organization and streamline our routines. Mudroom lockers and wall units are perfect for optimizing space, providing designated spots for coats, backpacks, and shoes.

Here’s a quick overview of effective storage options:

With built-in benches, we can create a comfortable area for putting on shoes while hiding clutter underneath. Adding stylish cushions can elevate the aesthetic without compromising functionality.

Aesthetic Cohesion

Creating aesthetic cohesion in our mudroom not only enhances its visual appeal but also ties it seamlessly to the rest of our home. When we make thoughtful aesthetic choices, we ensure that our mudroom reflects our overall design ethos.

A well-defined color palette plays a crucial role in achieving this. Choosing colors that complement our kitchen and living areas helps maintain a harmonious flow.

Incorporating decorative elements, like family photos or unique artwork, adds a personal touch while contributing to a cohesive design.

It’s essential to balance these decorative features with functional storage solutions, like built-in cabinets and shelves, which can be both practical and visually appealing.

Timeless Design Choices

A well-designed mudroom not only reflects our home’s aesthetic but also embraces timeless design choices that enhance both functionality and style.

For instance, Shaker cabinets, with their clean lines and sturdy construction, offer a beautiful yet practical solution for our mudroom storage. Their enduring appeal has made them a favorite for hundreds of years, seamlessly fitting into various home decors.

Incorporating natural wood elements further elevates the space. Hardwoods like oak or cherry not only provide durability but also a warmth that complements classic countertops.

Whether we opt for elegant granite or a cozy butcher block, these materials add to the mudroom’s timeless charm.

Additionally, a well-placed kitchen island can serve multiple purposes, from extra workspace to a cozy spot for family gatherings.

This multifunctional piece enhances the mudroom’s usability while maintaining a cohesive look with the kitchen.

Practicality and Maintenance

When we design our mudroom, practicality and maintenance should be top priorities. This space often sees daily foot traffic, so we need cabinetry that stands up to wear and tear while remaining easy to care for. Custom solutions allow us to create a tailored fit that maximizes usability.

For instance, lower base cabinets or drawers offer easy accessibility for kids, ensuring everyone can reach their belongings without hassle.

We can also consider durable materials that require minimal maintenance—think easy-to-clean surfaces that resist scuffs and stains. By incorporating thoughtful storage options like open shelving for frequently used items and closed cabinets for seasonal gear, we strike a balance between organization and aesthetics.

Choosing cabinet styles that enhance usability will ultimately lead to a more functional mudroom. We should evaluate designs that make it easy to hang backpacks, store shoes, and keep sports gear organized.

The right approach to practicality and maintenance not only simplifies our daily routines but also keeps our mudroom looking fresh and inviting. Let’s focus on these essential aspects to create a space that works for our family.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know if My Cabinets Are Good Quality?

We can identify good quality cabinets by checking for solid wood construction, sturdy joints, and a smooth finish. If they’re well-built and come with a warranty, we’re likely making a reliable choice.

Which Type of Kitchen Cabinet Is Best?

When we consider which type of kitchen cabinet is best, we often lean towards Shaker-style for its versatility and timelessness. It suits various designs, ensuring our space remains functional and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.

What Is the Most Timeless Kitchen Cabinet Style?

When we think about timeless kitchen cabinet styles, shaker cabinets come to mind. Their clean lines and versatility blend beautifully with various aesthetics, making them a perfect choice for creating lasting appeal in any space.

What Is the Most Durable Kitchen Cabinetry?

When we’re choosing durable kitchen cabinetry, we often opt for materials like solid wood or plywood. These options withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring our cabinets last while maintaining their beauty and functionality throughout the years.

Conclusion

In choosing reliable kitchen cabinet styles for our mudrooms, we’re not just investing in durability and organization; we’re also enhancing the overall aesthetic of our homes. Opting for timeless designs ensures our space remains stylish and functional for years to come. By prioritizing practicality and ease of maintenance, we create a welcoming environment that stands up to daily wear and tear. Let’s make thoughtful choices that seamlessly blend our mudrooms with the rest of our home!

Intelligent Layouts for Kitchen Remodeling: Maximizing Every Inch

When it comes to kitchen remodeling, a well-thought-out layout is essential for creating a space that is both functional and enjoyable. In kitchens where space is often at a premium, smart layouts can help you optimize every inch, ensuring that your kitchen is not only stylish but also practical for your daily needs.

The Power of an Open Concept Design

One of the most effective ways to maximize space in your kitchen is by adopting an open concept design. This approach eliminates barriers between the kitchen and adjoining living areas, creating a seamless flow that enhances both functionality and aesthetics. An open layout allows for easier movement and interaction between spaces, making it ideal for families or those who love to entertain.

Incorporating an island can further enhance the open concept. It provides additional workspace, storage, and seating, making it a multifunctional feature in your kitchen. By keeping the design open and airy, you can create a sense of spaciousness that makes your kitchen feel larger than it is.

U-Shaped Layouts for Efficiency

Another smart choice for maximizing space in kitchen remodeling is the U-shaped layout. This design utilizes three walls for countertops, creating an efficient work triangle between the stove, sink, and refrigerator. The U-shape offers ample counter space, making meal prep and cooking more convenient.

To make the most of a U-shaped kitchen, consider integrating clever storage solutions within the design. For example, adding pull-out shelves and corner cabinets can help keep your kitchen organized and clutter-free, allowing for easy access to utensils and ingredients. This layout not only optimizes workspace but also encourages a smooth workflow while cooking.

Embrace Multi-Functional Furniture

In smaller kitchens, choosing multi-functional furniture is key to maximizing space. Items like collapsible tables or expandable islands can provide flexibility for meal prep or dining without taking up too much room. Additionally, furniture with built-in storage, such as benches or stools that open up for storage, can help keep your kitchen organized.

Utilizing bar stools at your island or counter can also create a casual dining area that saves space. This approach promotes a cozy atmosphere while ensuring that your kitchen remains functional and inviting for both cooking and socializing.

By focusing on intelligent layouts and space optimization during your kitchen remodeling project, you can create a stylish and functional kitchen that meets your needs. Embrace open concepts, U-shaped designs, and multi-functional furniture to maximize every inch of your kitchen, transforming it into a welcoming and efficient environment. With thoughtful planning and design, your kitchen can become the heart of your home.

Apparently Serbia, and especially Belgrade, has a huge problem with air pollution.

Ms. Francine Pickup, Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Serbia, explained that: “It is estimated that cities are the source of as much as 75% of total CO2 emissions in the world, of which the largest percentage comes from traffic and cooling and heating in buildings”. She later continued to explain that 59% of the Serbian population lives in urban areas and that the number is constantly increasing. Because the population density is so high, creating green areas and planting trees – which represent natural air purification in urban areas– is a complex goal to achieve, as there is a lack of free areas for landscaping.

The microalgae replace two 10-year-old trees or 200 square meters of lawn. The function of the LIQUID 3 is practically an imitation of it. Both trees and grass perform photosynthesis and bind carbon dioxide. However, the advantage of microalgae is that it is 10 to 50 times more efficient than trees. The team behind LIQUID 3 has stated that their goal is not to replace forests or tree planting plans but to use this system to fill those urban pockets where there is no space for planting trees. In conditions of intense pollution, such as Belgrade, many trees cannot survive, while algae do not have a problem with the great levels of pollution.

The project is designed to be multifunctional. LIQUID3 is also a bench, it has chargers for mobile phones, as well as a solar panel, thanks to which the bench has lighting during the night.

Dr. Ivan Spasojevic also explained that “the Institute used single-celled freshwater algae, which exist in ponds and lakes in Serbia and can grow in tap water, and are resistant to high and low temperatures. The system does not require special maintenance – it is enough to remove the biomass created by dividing algae, which can be used as an excellent fertilizer, in a month and a half, pour new water and minerals, and the algae continue to grow indefinitely. This project aims to popularize and expand the use of microalgae in Serbia, because they can be used in wastewater treatment, as compost for green areas, for the production of biomass and biofuels, as well as for air purification from exhaust gases from the factories”.

Unexpected Spaces: Interior Design Ideas That Defy Convention

When it comes to designing a home, there are certain expectations—rooms should have a designated purpose, the furniture should fit the space, and the layout should flow in a traditional way. But what if we broke all the rules? What if we embraced the unexpected and reimagined how we use and design our spaces?

In a world where we’re constantly seeking uniqueness, why settle for conventional? From repurposing underused spaces to designing rooms that challenge traditional norms, unexpected interior design ideas have the power to transform your home into something truly extraordinary. Imagine turning a hallway into a cozy reading nook, a laundry room into a chic retreat, or a guest bedroom into a multifunctional office. The possibilities are endless!

In this post, we’re diving into the world of bold, unconventional interiors that defy the traditional design rules. Get ready to challenge the status quo and create a home that’s as innovative as it is inspiring.

1. The Hallway as a Room

Hallways are often seen as mere pass-throughs—narrow, functional spaces that don’t get much attention in the design world. But what if your hallway could be more than just a transition area?

Why It Works: A hallway, when designed thoughtfully, can serve as a small but impactful room in itself. It’s the perfect place to showcase art, introduce unexpected color, or even create a cozy, functional nook.

How to Use It: Consider turning your hallway into a gallery space by hanging a series of bold artworks or photographs. If your hallway is long and narrow, you can create an intimate reading nook with a small armchair and floor lamp. For added personality, use wallpaper with bold patterns or dramatic color to create a statement. Built-in shelving along the walls can house books, plants, or sculptures, turning this typically unused space into a showcase of your style.

Tip: Use mirrors or light-colored paint to visually widen narrow hallways, making them feel more expansive and inviting. A mirror also doubles as a functional piece to enhance the space’s lighting.

2. Living Rooms Without Sofas

Living rooms are traditionally anchored by a sofa, but what if you reimagined the layout entirely? Sofas are often bulky and can dominate a room, but with some creative thinking, you can design a living space that feels just as cozy, inviting, and functional—without the traditional centerpiece.

Why It Works: A living room without a sofa challenges the idea of what a "living room" should be and opens up more flexibility in the way you use the space. Instead of the standard couch and coffee table arrangement, you can create a room that feels more dynamic, multifunctional, and personal.

How to Use It: Replace the sofa with a collection of modular lounge chairs, floor cushions, or a low-profile bench. Create distinct zones with area rugs to define conversation areas and add intimacy. You could even build a sunken seating area for a truly unconventional touch. Adding bold accent pieces like a statement coffee table or oversized armchair can also help anchor the space.

Tip: Mix and match different seating options and low-profile furniture, like bean bags, poufs, and cushions, to create a comfortable, laid-back vibe. This approach can be especially ideal for a smaller living room, as it allows you to rearrange and maximize your space.

3. Bathrooms with No Mirrors

Mirrors are a standard element in every bathroom, but they don’t have to be. Instead of the conventional mirror above the sink, why not experiment with bold alternatives that flip the script on what we expect to see in the bathroom?

Why It Works: Mirrors in bathrooms are not only functional but also serve as a design element. However, eliminating them from the equation opens up opportunities for unexpected materials and different focal points. For instance, removing the mirror lets you focus on texture and materials in a completely new way.

How to Use It: Replace the mirror with artwork, a large plant, or a tiled feature wall. You could even install a vintage-style wall clock or a shelving unit for practical use and visual interest. If you’re craving a reflective element, consider using shiny metallic tiles or glass shelving instead of a traditional mirror.

Tip: If you still want a reflective surface, try using decorative tiles or a reflective backsplash behind the sink, giving the bathroom a sleek, modern feel without the traditional mirror.

4. Unconventional Bedrooms: Bedside Tables with a Twist

The standard setup in most bedrooms is a bed with matching nightstands on either side. But what if we broke from tradition and replaced them with something more unexpected?

Why It Works: Unconventional bedside tables can add a sense of playfulness and individuality to a room. By swapping out traditional nightstands for more creative options, you can turn a typically utilitarian piece into a stylish accent that speaks to your personal taste.

How to Use It: Instead of matching nightstands, try using vintage luggage, floating shelves, or even stacked books as functional bedside pieces. Repurpose old crates or even a single, oversized lamp in place of a nightstand. The key is to create balance, so that each side of the bed feels symmetrical even if the furniture pieces aren’t identical.

Tip: Consider using statement lighting like a large pendant light or sconces on either side of the bed instead of traditional lamps. This saves space and brings a modern touch to the room.

5. The Laundry Room as a Luxe Escape

Often relegated to a utilitarian space, laundry rooms don’t need to be dull or ignored in your design. In fact, you can turn this functional room into a luxurious retreat that feels like an extension of the rest of your home.

Why It Works: The laundry room is a space where people tend to rush in and out, but it’s also one of the best places to experiment with bold materials and design elements. By treating the laundry room as a full-fledged space in your home, you can elevate its style and make laundry day feel a bit more indulgent.

How to Use It: Replace simple cabinetry with statement cabinetry, add bold wallpaper, or use luxurious countertops like marble or quartz. Include a chandelier or pendant lighting to bring a sense of opulence to the space. Incorporating open shelving and stylish storage solutions will make the room both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Tip: Choose a cohesive color palette that matches the rest of your home’s design to make the laundry room feel integrated. Even adding plants or a comfortable chair will elevate the vibe, creating a space where you actually want to spend time.

6. Repurpose Your Closet Space

Closets are often an afterthought in interior design, but they can be used in more creative ways than simply as storage. Imagine turning a closet into a home office, reading nook, or meditation space.

Why It Works: Closets are often underused, and repurposing them can free up space elsewhere while creating a private retreat for focused work or relaxation. It’s an ideal way to carve out space in a small home or apartment without undergoing major renovations.

How to Use It: Turn a walk-in closet into a mini office by adding a desk, shelving, and task lighting. Alternatively, a smaller closet can be transformed into a cozy reading nook with a small armchair, lighting, and a built-in bookshelf. If you prefer a calming space, a closet can become a meditation or yoga studio with the addition of a comfortable mat and serene décor.

Tip: Make sure to keep it organized and functional with proper shelving, hooks, and storage to maximize the space's potential.

7. The “Secret” Room: Hidden Doors and Passages

Want to take your home’s design to a whole new level of intrigue? Consider adding a hidden room or secret passage. Whether it’s a bookshelf that opens up to a home office or a closet that leads to a private lounge, a hidden space is one of the most unconventional design elements you can incorporate.

Why It Works: Hidden rooms or passages evoke a sense of mystery and exclusivity. They allow you to create a space that feels like an exciting discovery, offering a sense of privacy and retreat.

How to Use It: Install hidden doors that blend seamlessly into the design of your home, such as bookshelves that swing open or sliding panels that conceal a small office or storage area. You could even design a hidden bar behind a large painting or an underground passage to a wine cellar or lounge.

Tip: While secret rooms are fun, make sure they still maintain functionality—don’t sacrifice practicality for novelty.

Final Thoughts: Breaking Free from Convention

Interior design doesn’t have to follow a set of rigid rules. By embracing unexpected spaces, you can create a home that feels uniquely yours and challenges the conventional design norms. From reimagining a hallway

as a gallery to turning a closet into a retreat, the key is to think outside the box and embrace creativity.

So, whether you’re working with a tiny apartment or a sprawling house, there’s always room to experiment and design with purpose. Unleash your imagination, challenge the norms, and let your home surprise and inspire you at every turn!

Creating a Multifunctional Bathroom Space: Interior Design Tips by WeDezine

Bathrooms today serve as more than just practical spaces; they've evolved into personal retreats that balance utility, comfort, and style. In urban homes, where space can be limited, every square inch matters. Thoughtful interior design can turn even the most compact bathrooms into multifunctional areas that are as inviting as they are efficient. At WeDezine, we believe that a well-designed bathroom should not only look good but also work well. Here’s how you can transform your bathroom into a multifunctional sanctuary:

1. Smart Storage Solutions

Built-in Shelving: Built-in shelves around sinks and mirrors maximize wall space and keep essentials close at hand without cluttering countertops. They offer a streamlined, custom feel to the bathroom.

Under-sink Cabinets: Choose vanities with drawers and hidden compartments to store toiletries, cleaning supplies, and even towels, making efficient use of vertical space.

Floating Shelves and Wall Organizers: Floating shelves provide a modern aesthetic and are great for keeping frequently used items within reach. Wall-mounted organizers, like baskets and hooks, can increase storage without taking up floor space.

2. Integrate Laundry Facilities

Compact Laundry Solutions: For larger bathrooms, a stacked washer-dryer setup hidden within a closet or alcove maintains aesthetics and keeps laundry appliances accessible but out of sight.

Dedicated Laundry Space: If room permits, design a small area with a countertop for folding clothes or a fold-out ironing board to make laundry tasks easy and efficient.

Waterproof Cabinetry: Use moisture-resistant materials around laundry areas to protect against humidity and ensure a cohesive design throughout your bathroom.

3. Create Functional Zones

Partitions and Glass Dividers: Divide the shower, toilet, and vanity areas with partial walls or glass dividers. This approach improves privacy and allows multiple people to use the space simultaneously.

Sliding Doors: Sliding or pocket doors are a smart design choice for saving space while also adding a touch of modernity, making the bathroom feel more expansive.

4. Add Multipurpose Fixtures and Accessories

Mirrors with Extra Features: Mirrors with built-in lighting, storage, or anti-fog capabilities are practical and enhance grooming tasks. Some mirrors even include magnified sections, ideal for detailed grooming.

Adjustable Faucets and Showerheads: Pull-out or adjustable fixtures make the bathroom accessible for all ages, from children to seniors, and simplify cleaning.

Foldable Seating: Fold-down benches or waterproof stools provide a place to sit in the shower or dressing area, adding comfort and flexibility.

5. Use Versatile Lighting for Different Needs

Task Lighting Around Mirrors: LED strip lights around mirrors provide bright, even lighting for grooming activities, eliminating shadows for better precision.

Ambient and Accent Lighting: Recessed lighting or a statement pendant light can create warmth and spa-like ambiance. Choose dimmable fixtures to adjust the lighting to your desired mood.

Natural Light and Ventilation: Windows or skylights enhance the space with natural light and ensure ventilation, which helps keep the bathroom fresh and airy.

6. Opt for Multipurpose Furniture and Decor

Vanities with Seating: Vanities that include seating or a cushioned stool allow for comfortable, extended grooming routines and can be helpful for those with mobility needs.

Decorative Storage Baskets: Stylish baskets made of wicker or fabric can hold towels, toiletries, or essentials while adding a design element.

Plants for a Natural Touch: Greenery thrives in bathrooms due to natural humidity. Plants not only improve air quality but also introduce a relaxing, organic feel to the room.

7. Choose Space-Saving Layouts and Designs

Corner Showers: Corner showers, especially those with glass doors, free up central space, creating a more open layout that feels airy and spacious.

Wall-Mounted Fixtures: Wall-mounted toilets and sinks free up floor space, making the bathroom easier to clean and visually more open.

Sliding or Pocket Doors: Sliding doors are ideal for tight spaces, as they don't require clearance, allowing for a seamless flow within the bathroom.

8. Integrate Relaxation Features

Combination Bath and Shower: For those with more space, a combined bathtub and shower provides the best of both worlds, catering to both relaxation and quick routines.

Heated Floors and Towel Racks: Small luxuries like heated floors or towel racks add comfort, especially in colder months, elevating the bathroom experience.

Sound Systems and Aromatherapy: Bluetooth speakers or essential oil diffusers can transform your bathroom into a true retreat, adding soothing sounds and scents for a spa-like environment.

Final Thoughts

Designing a multifunctional bathroom is about thoughtful planning and choosing the right design elements to suit your unique needs. With the perfect mix of practicality and style, your bathroom can become a personal oasis where you can unwind, recharge, and even tackle a bit of laundry. At WeDezine, we specialize in creating customized, multifunctional spaces for urban homes in Bangalore. Our goal is to help you make the most out of every square inch with innovative and elegant design solutions.

This vertical approach not only adds lush greenery to your balcony but also enhances privacy, improves air quality, and gives your outdoor space a refreshing, vibrant look.

2. Cozy Seating: Comfort in Compact Spaces

A well-designed seating area is essential for enjoying your balcony to the fullest. Choose space-saving options like a bistro set or a small loveseat with cushions for comfort. Stackable or foldable furniture is perfect for tiny balconies, offering flexibility when space is tight. Layer with outdoor rugs, throw pillows, and soft blankets to create a cozy, welcoming ambiance that invites relaxation.

3. Enchanting Lighting for Evening Magic

Transform your balcony into a cozy retreat after dark with well-chosen lighting. String lights draped across railings, fairy lights woven around plants, or lanterns set along the floor can create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Solar-powered or battery-operated lights are energy-efficient and hassle-free, allowing you to enjoy a magical glow as the sun sets, extending the use of your balcony into the evening hours.

4. Play with Color and Decor

Small spaces come alive with the right pops of color. Brighten your balcony with vibrant cushions, patterned outdoor rugs, and colorful throws that reflect your style. Add personality through decorative elements like wall art, hanging lanterns, or small outdoor sculptures. These bold, playful accents will transform your balcony into a unique, expressive outdoor nook that feels like a natural extension of your home.

5. Functional, Multifunctional Furniture

In small spaces, every piece of furniture needs to pull double duty. Look for multifunctional furniture such as storage benches that serve as both seating and a place to store outdoor essentials, or ottomans that can act as footrests and additional seating. A small coffee table with hidden storage can also be a game-changer, keeping your balcony tidy while providing extra functionality.

6. Define Zones with Rugs and Plants

Creating distinct areas within your balcony helps it feel more organized and spacious. Use an outdoor rug to define a lounging or dining zone, and position planters or small dividers to create natural boundaries. This technique not only enhances the layout but also adds texture and depth to your balcony, encouraging you to use it for multiple activities, from dining to relaxing.

7. Expand Your Space with Reflective Surfaces

Mirrors can make a small space feel bigger by reflecting light and creating the illusion of depth. Add an outdoor mirror or two to your balcony, strategically placed to catch sunlight and visually open up the space. Choose weather-resistant mirrors for durability, and watch as your balcony feels larger, brighter, and more airy.

Conclusion

Your small balcony has the potential to become a stylish, comfortable outdoor retreat with thoughtful design.

RATING: RELIABLE

Algae are more efficient at photosynthesis than plants, and produce around half of earth's oxygen.

Source: 'They account for more than 50% of the photosynthesis that takes place on Earth. Photosynthetic efficiency is higher in algae than in higher plants, because of a wide range of antenna pigments to harvest more solar energy and a variety of carbon dioxide-concentrating systems to increase carbon dioxide concentration around ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.'

The scientists behind the 'liquid trees' have explicitly stated that they are not attempting to replace trees, just to supplement them. One tanks is equal to two 10 year old trees.

Source: '"“The microalgae replaces two, 10-year-old trees or 200 square metres of lawn," said Dr Ivan Spasojevic, one of the authors of the project from the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research at the University of Belgrade. [...] "Our goal is not to replace forests but to use this system to fill those urban pockets where there is no space for planting trees."'

It also has a bench, solar lights, and phone chargers.

Source: '“The project is designed to be multifunctional. LIQUID3 is also a bench, it has chargers for mobile phones, as well as a solar panel, thanks to which the bench has lighting during the night,” the head of the department for social affairs and development projects in the municipality of Stari grad Bojan Bojić said (the LIQUID3 is located in this municipality)'

The maintenance is is not difficult, and you can even see how it's done here.

Source: 'The system does not require special maintenance - it is enough to remove the biomass created by dividing algae, which can be used as an excellent fertilizer, in a month and a half, pour new water and minerals, and the algae continue to grow indefinitely.'

The maintenance of trees does indeed cost money. You can read more about this here.

so the current main character of twitter are the algae tanks that are meant to function as "liquid trees" if u wanna call it that and people are very mad at them despite them being a cool and potentially useful concept. before anyone gets mad on this post in case it gets Literally Any Notes, notes:

algae is really really good at producing oxygen. more efficient than trees actually. it already produces like, grain of salt bc im getting a few diff numbers here from google, 50ish percent of the oxygen on earth. dw shes good at this.

no the scientists dont want to REPLACE trees thats just a shitty headline. the actual potential uses of these are plopping them down in places where you cant put another tree for whatever reason (including "theres a tree right there and it needs space"), in addition to trees bc as stated its Even Better at oxygen making, or when youre waiting for the trees to grow bc. they take a while.

if the tanks are as efficient as the scientists claim, one tank=two 10 year old trees. thats good! nice supplement to trees while youre waiting for them to grow and shit.

the one pictured also is a bench with solar lights and ports to charge your phone. thats nice!

apparently no maintenance isnt hard u just remove some of the algae once a month (which can then be used as fertilizer!) add some water and boom ur good 👍

stop saying "trees are free and require no maintenance" thats just false. the cost and maintenance are worth it!! but they do in fact have Cost And Maintenance. many good things in society are like this! please appreciate the work that goes into trees actually ty

again. not replacing trees. In Addition To. Alongside. Friends. <3.

ANYWAY, with those common things no one on twitter seems to understand out of the way, honestly im frustrated but (mostly) not ANGRY at the ppl not understanding that stuff. like, if u read past the headline u would know it, and i really wish yall would, but hey at least i understand being mislead by that awful fucking headline. i get it!!

what i am fucking pissed about is the people calling it ugly and saying no one wants slime tanks fuck you i DO want a slime tank

"but ohhh it looks like SLIME and DYSTOPIAN and blah blah blah" fuck YOU that slime is my BOYFRIENDS and i LOVE THEM. look at that gastly green color! it looks straight out of a mad scientists lab! its BEAUTIFUL!

i love algae and they are my friend and my lover and i will not stand for this fucking slander. you are all just too fucking weak to see the beauty in their hard work. you are blinded by tree propaganda, and just like bee propaganda you forget that there are OTHERS working day in and day out too. i love trees and (i LOOOOOVE bees btw) but do NOT forget the hard work done by algae.

if these things are as efficient as they claim then YES AMAZING LOVE IT, throw the cool slime benches hither and thither! mayhaps decorate them with a lil cool etched art (without compromising the efficiency) or some Fun Facts about how cool algae is and how NO THEY ARENT TREE REPLACEMENTS THEYRE TREE FRIENDS!!! THEY ARE FRIENDS!!!!!!!!! i would love nothing more than sitting at a bus stop under the green glow of my algae friends and i have been on this fucking train since i first saw cool concept art of this shit like a decade ago on tumblr. you CANNOT convince me giant green tanks of slop are anything BUT perfection.

and if anything i think they should fucking lean in to the slime thing. make some that look like giant test tubes. get nickelodeon to sponser a couple. teenage mutant ninja turtles crossover. stop listening to the fucking normies trying to convince you that Slime Bad and think of the fucking posslimbilities. EMBRACE THE SLIME.

7 Luxury Outdoor Furniture Trends for 2024

1- Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials

In 2024, sustainability is more than a trend—it’s a necessity. Eco-conscious consumers are demanding furniture made from sustainable materials. This includes recycled plastics, reclaimed wood, and biodegradable fabrics. Brands are responding by creating pieces that are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly.

2- Modular and Multifunctional Designs

Flexibility is crucial for modern outdoor spaces, and modular furniture designs are leading the way. These pieces can be rearranged to fit any occasion, making them perfect for both intimate gatherings and large parties. Multifunctional furniture, such as benches with built-in storage or tables that convert into fire pits, is also gaining popularity.

3- Bold and Vibrant Colors

While neutral tones have long dominated outdoor furniture, 2024 sees a shift towards bold and vibrant colors. Think deep blues, rich greens, and fiery reds that make a statement. These colors can be incorporated through cushions, upholstery, or the furniture pieces themselves, adding a touch of personality to your outdoor space.

4- High-Tech Integration

Technology continues to influence luxury outdoor furniture, with high-tech features becoming standard. Integrated lighting, wireless charging stations, and weather-resistant speakers enhance the functionality and enjoyment of outdoor spaces. Smart furniture that can be controlled via smartphone apps is also on the rise.

5- Natural Aesthetic and Organic Shapes

In 2024, there’s a strong emphasis on designs that mimic the natural world. Organic shapes, earthy tones, and natural materials create a harmonious blend between furniture and the outdoor environment. This trend is all about bringing the serenity and beauty of nature into your outdoor living area.

6- Outdoor Wellness Spaces

The concept of wellness has expanded to outdoor living, with furniture designed to enhance relaxation and well-being. Hammocks, daybeds, and yoga mats are being integrated into outdoor setups. Additionally, features like ergonomic seating and calming water features contribute to a wellness-focused outdoor environment.

7- Luxury Minimalism

Minimalism continues to be a significant trend, but with a luxurious twist. The focus is on high-quality materials and craftsmanship, where less is more. Clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and premium finishes define this trend. The aim is to create an elegant and sophisticated outdoor area with a few carefully chosen pieces.
