Ottawa city staff have released updated urban design guidelines for low-rise infill housing, outlining their esthetic preferences for residential infill buildings under four storeys. While infill guidelines have been around for years, this update comes as Queen’s Park expands areas that allow multi-unit homes and in advance of city hall’s new zoning bylaw that will do the same. With increased demand for infill housing, the guidelines will have a broader effect on housing in the city.

“Bespoke” Means Ultra-Custom Design Drury Design

The English word “bespoke” is popular in the US. We think it’s GREAT and here’s why…

What does bespoke mean?

“Bespoke” means “ultra custom” in the British design language. Originally used in the context of clothing. Its use in the world of kitchen and bathroom design coincides with the growing notion of customers seeking spaces that are unique and personal. The word helps differentiate between something custom made and something truly custom made.

Custom made meaning there’s a thorough template and you get a made-to-order unit based on the dimensions, color, material, and style you have in mind.

bespoke is when you have a general idea – and maybe even a napkin sketch – of what you want, but it’s nowhere to be found…. it wasn’t until a designer and craftsman worked together to create it. Your bespoke creations are truly unique.

IKEA is training call center workers to become interior design advisers as the Swedish furniture giant aims to offer more home improvement services and hand run-of-the-mill customer queries to an artificial intelligence bot called Billie.

In April, IKEA expanded its interior design services to the UK and United States, after previously launching in parts of Europe, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere. In the UK, customers pay £25 ($31.44) for a 45-60 minute interior design advice video call and suggested product list, and can pay £125 for three workspace design consultations, a floor plan and 3D visuals.

Ingka says it has trained 8,500 call center workers as interior design advisers since 2021, while Billie – launched the same year with a name inspired by IKEA’s Billy bookcase range – has handled 47

Not Just Design, Complete Infrastructure Makes Residential Here A Target

Jakarta –

There are many reasons that become the basis for someone to choose a housing area related to location, model, size, facilities, and price. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic that we have experienced since the beginning of 2020 has also brought many adaptations related to special placements that are placed with designs, features, and facilities to ensure all residents stay healthy.

The development of infrastructure and facilities in the Jakarta buffer zone has also made the Jabodetabek megapolitan area more mature and integrated. This has finally encouraged people’s interest in choosing landed houses in suburban areas in line with the development of easier accessibility and offering more affordable prices compared to houses in Jakarta.

The pandemic has also made public awareness of health continue to increase and this is what developers continue to realize in terms of design, features and facilities in their area. This is what

As anyone who has gone through the process of searching for room colors will try, choosing the right color for a room can be a minefield with endless choices and subtle nuances to understand and overcome.

But along with what is the most stressful color?, we are also often asked ‘what is the most draining color? According to color psychologists, the most draining and fatiguing color is ‘bright yellow’.

However, decorating with yellow isn’t all bad, especially when used as an accent color at home. It has many positive connotations, too. Here, color psychologists, decorators, and experts reveal why bright yellow is the most draining color – and how to decorate with softer yellow in a more pleasing and less stimulating way by using the color wheel to create strong color combinations, using yellow as an accent shade, and what variations to use to create a scheme that won’t overwhelm.

House Design

No matter the square footage of our home, we all have the same goal – to make it feel as spacious as possible. This is especially true in more compact spaces, as well as those with quirky layouts or limited natural light. Light, airy spaces are all the more inviting to relax in and help us feel less closed in, so it’s something worth aiming for.

However, some common interior design mistakes are keeping your home from reaching its full, spacious potential. The result is cramped spaces that can often feel overwhelming.

  1. A claustrophobic color palette
  2. The wrong flooring
