Bapak Wiwik Permadi
Majalengka.



Jawaban:

Yth Bapak Wiwik Permadi,
terimakasih atas pertanyaan Bapak, disini saya coba untuk menjawab dengan desain musholla kecil dengan spesifikasi ruang-ruang yang dibutuhkan. Sebuah ruang aula untuk sholat, sebuah kamar mandi di bagian belakang musholla, tempat wudhu serta halaman depan.



Bentuk denah cukup standar dengan penataan yang sangat sederhana, dimana diarea aula yang didekat kamar mandi, bisa dibuat kabinet untuk menyimpan barang-barang musholla. Dari segi tampilan, saya membuat desain yang cukup banyak dipakai di musholla penduduk dengan material sederhana seperti konstruksi beton bertulang, kayu untuk kusen, keramik, atap kuda-kuda kayu dengan penutup genteng, dan material lain yang terlihat dalam gambar. Di bagian tampak muka, bagian bawah jendela bisa dibuat mozaik keramik yang tentunya bisa menambah keindahan musholla tersebut.




Semoga jawaban dan desain saya bisa membantu Bapak dan warga sekitar. Terimakasih. Salam,

Probo Hindarto

Fun and Functional Night Light Table for Soothing Bedrooms

Night Light Table was developed as a result of a collaboration between designers Charlie Crowther-Smith and Richard Bannister.You are looking at an original product that can create a subtle, yet strong effect in any bedroom: “We wanted to design something that omitted an ambient glow within any room as well as being functional furniture.” The result- an intriguing piece of furniture made from walnut legs and an oak top that serves both as a practical night table as well as a cool decorative item. Books, magazines, CDs and other small objects can be placed within this uncommon night table. Glowing all through the night, it can be a true friend for those who have fear of the dark. Pretty creative, don’t you agree ?

How to Creatively Display Interior Decor in your Kitchen

The kitchen has always been the heart of the home and its main purpose was for preparing food. As the years have gone on, the kitchen has become a place for guests to gather, and in turn a show piece of the home. Decorative accessories, shelving and lighting to accommodate kitchen decor, and bookshelves in kitchen islands are commonplace. If you’re looking for a way to expand your kitchen into a decorative show place for your creative style, here are a few tips for displaying all you hold dear.

  • Make your kitchen all about the display: If you have a great collection of books, or an unbelievable collection of wines, why not make your kitchen the perfect place to show them off? Creative wood cabinetry and display can utilize bookshelves, custom shelving and unique storage areas to display your most prized collectibles. If your kitchen is adjacent to your living room, bar, or dining room, consider using display to serve both areas. Glasses, spices, and home collectibles can find a home in creative display in your kitchen.
  • Glass cabinets make for great display: Remember when cabinets used to be closed off and dinnerware and glasses would hide behind closed doors? Glass front cabinets enable you to use your dishes as display. Creative glass applications can range from frosted glass, etched or pebbled glass, or completely transparent to allow personal collections to shine through. Ensure lighting is installed inside your cabinets for highlighting displays at night.
  
Casual meets function: If you prefer a more laid back style in your kitchen display, consider open shelving made from rustic wood, metal or natural surfaces. Open shelving is ideal for casual decorative styles, and allows your dishes and display to be visually showcased easier. Consider using empty wall space around kitchen windows or vacant space between upper kitchen cabinets to truly maximize on space and display your artisan artifacts beautifully.


Keep the family organized: Creative display can also mean a place for organization and updating the family quickly and easily. Bulletin, chalk, and creative wall paint solutions are a great place to display to-do lists, grocery lists, and notes to the kids. Consider installing simple organizing shelves adjacent to your kitchen and dining room area for quick access to dinner table items, or kitchen gadgets that are close at hand. Another great place for organization is the refrigerator. Instead of using dozens of magnets and papers, opt for open shelving or custom memo boards around the refrigerator area. It will look organized and keep your family connected.


 Kitchen display can be creative and unique with the help of these suggestions. If you have a kitchen island, use cabinet area for display too. Storage area that once served as cabinetry can be removed and replaced with shelves, wine storage, dish racks, or creative collectible display. Custom millwork designers can customize your kitchen to suit your needs, or visit an organization store for do it yourself options. Regardless of your style, display areas in your kitchen make the room become a livable space, and an expression of your family, not just a place to boil some water!

Delightful Swedish Crib or How to Make the Most of a Small Apartment

In this post we would like to showcase a fabulous 1,5 room apartment which brings tribute to Scandinavian design. This highly functional crib stretches over a surface of only 42 square meters, yet it does not seem to lack many things. The living room is airy and bright with windows looking out onto the quiet neighborhood. During the last renovation, the living room and kitchen were united, which contributes to an overall feeling of space. A rustic brick wall acts as a “decorative” border between the two rooms and ensures a high level of originality. The walls are painted in a white hue that provides a neutral base for decorating. Beautiful color contrasts are achieved by the gray sofa and flooring. To the left of the hall and directly adjacent to the living room, an extremely convenient and comfortable sleeping space can be observed. Two of the walls are painted in white, while the third is a beautifully patterned wallpaper in pleasant tones. This special alcove is greatly appreciated in a crib of this type, giving the feeling of a  perfectly planned small apartment.
