Suspended Staircase Converted into Stunning Versatile Structure.
When the proprietors of a
top-floor apartment in Olso, Norway bought the loft above it, they needed to
unify the two floors. Well-known as Idunsgate, it was refurbished by the
London-based architecture firm Haptic, who consumed part of their time updating
areas like the bedroom and bathroom. They also added a spectacular, brand new
feature to the 19th century building. The suspended staircase was actually built as
a subtle divide between the kitchen and living room. The lovely frame is made
of white-coated steel and the steps of smooth, light wood. And it is
interlinked to the 2nd level of the apartment, and it gives the illusion that
the structure is floating in mid-air. When you walk upstairs, the open risers let
you to observe what’s below. Although the entire contribution to the
unobtrusive design and works well in the limited space. It’s architecturally
modern and enhances an artistic element to the apartment without detracting
from its decor. Since Idunsgate’s staircase doesn’t touch the ground, and it is
beautifully finished by a wooden piece of furniture that complements the steps.
It not only serves as the base of the stairs, but doubles as a chest of drawers
and window seat. This dual purpose is an intelligent usage of space and makes the
stairs an astonishingly versatile structure.

Unique Space-Saving Light Design with Potted Plants
To use the overhead space of any
room is a great thinking skill, like Bucket-light is a multifunctional design
that makes the most of unused overhead spaces. The inventive design is created
by Dutch designer Roderick Vos actually a concept of both a hanging plant as
well as overhead illumination, which creates comfortable environment filled
natural greenery.
The creative lighting keeps floor
and desk spaces free of clutter and every piece consists of two LED lights that
are sealed into the bottom of two joined plant pots. The cast aluminum lamps
can be suspended from the ceiling with a reinforced electrical cable. Plugs
positioned directly in the pots permit users to link their computers to the sockets
which saves areas organized by preventing a mess of tangled cords.
The exciting and practical design
is a great way to enhance a little life to an otherwise undecorated space
without creating clutter. Because we did not have sufficient floor space at our
office, shops and showroom, and were in anxious need of light, the Bucket-light
was born. This is really unique idea to use overhead space to give fresh
essence of environment. Source: Charismatic Planet

How to Clean Your Kitchen Sink
It is common activity in every
kitchen to clean sink several times, but it just isn’t the similar as it was
when you bought it. Here we’d going to show you a well-organized way of
cleaning your kitchen sink and getting rid of the germs by sanitizing it. You
just have to follow simple steps you won’t be using any chemicals and your sink
will look brand new again. You will require using liquid soap for dish-washing,
distilled wine vinegar, baking soda, rock salt, lemon or lime, toothbrush, old
rag and a nylon or soft sponge. If you want to make a daily clean a mild soap
and a nylon sponge will do it.
It is very vital to avoid using
ammonia or bleach because they can do some serious damage to stainless steel.
After cleaning just rinse sink and wipe it dry with a towel. It is really imperative
that you rinse out the sink every time after using it, as the salt in the food
can also harm the stainless steel. Wet the surface of your sink and cover it
with a little baking soda.
Make a paste out of it by
brushing with the sponge and then rinse well. With the toothbrush you can clean
the caulk seal and all around the sink. Scrub fine with baking soda. Rinse and
then repeat the process. Soak some paper towels in vinegar and cover the entire
sink with them. Let them sit for twenty minutes then throw away the paper
towels. With a sponge dipped into water and soap, clean the surface of the
sink, then rinse thoroughly.
Another way for cleaning your
sink would be to put two cups of ice into the drain and pour one cup of rock
salt onto them. Turn on the cold water and let it pour onto this mix and turn
on the garbage disposal. Then just wait for the ice to vanish. Here’s you can
