Study/Den - Nearly 8 out of 10 households now have a computer. This has created an essential need for a study in many homes. Turning an under- stairs cupboard or a section of your finished basement into a study can be a great asset. But make sure it is away from the main living and sleeping areas.Decorating - Neutrals always work best - they make rooms appear bigger and brighter. However, we are in danger of going overboard with the minimalist look. Put neutral colors on walls, floor and fittings, but introduce some color through paintings, and soft furnishings to give your home warmth and appeal. Pack away as many personal items as you can such as photos.

Once removed, make sure the concrete or wood subfloor is level before you start the installation.Yard/Landscaping - There is not a lot you can do with the size of your yard. However, if you have an unsightly landscaping you need to spend money tidying it up. It will increase the value of your property instantly. Make sure you include a deck or patio area. Smarten up the front appearance and replace any fallen boundary fencing. Remember to keep the yard a focal point just as the interior is. Families will be spending time in the yard as well as the living room. Make landscaping and gardens child/pet friendly if possible.
It is very commonly used in architecture across the world in modern construction in Europe and North America and in many older landmarks such as the great pyramids in Egypt which are made entirely from Limestone.
