A priori it is a good idea, since this change will modify the entire room and give it a new look. But either of the two elements are so big and so important in the room that they are going to force us to modify many more things.

We will focus today's tips on living room rugs and what size to choose for them.What size carpet to choose for the sofa? What carpet to buy?As we mentioned before, the sofa is one of the largest areas of all the furniture in the living room, so we must pay special attention to it and be very cautious when choosing the accessories that surround it. If we choose the wrong size of the coffee table or that of the composition of pictures that we will place on it, we can completely spoil the room and leave us with a disproportionate design. Therefore, and focusing on the topic at hand today, what is the right size and type of rug for my sofa? The answer is simple: it depends on the sofa we have .

From the markets to the fanciest boutiques, fabrics in India are an integral part of the culture. In the markets of the cities of India you can find a great variety of fabrics and qualities. The stalls are filled with fabrics of different colors and materials. Each fabric is unique thanks to the specific manufacturing processes they use. However, in the middle of the different piles, it is sometimes difficult to locate the part that corresponds to us.We should know that the history of textile printing started in India a long time ago. For more than five thousand years, Indian artisans have passed down from generation to generation the secrets of the art of decorating and weaving cotton and silk fabrics . Textile production, therefore, supports hundreds of thousands of people in this country. The fabrics are used for multiple uses, including the making of different garments for women such as sari or churidar or those for men such as lunghi .This long tradition in the textile industry has led them to develop different production techniques. Here we explain some of these techniques that show us the impressive creative variety they have: BatikBatik is a cotton fabric printing technique used in various countries in Asia and West Africa . It is like a kind of textile paint . There are four main steps to creating a batik. The craftsmen first draw the final pattern on the fabric, then apply hot wax to protect certain areas. Then, to apply the colors, they soak the fabric in dye baths. The wax is then removed with an iron or by soaking it in boiling water.The Tie and DyeIt is a traditional Rajasthan textile dyeing technique . The choice and color combinations vary, but there is always a predominance of yellow, orange, red or green. It is a fairly simple technique, it is necessary to tie the fabric in advance to preserve certain parts of the color, then it is dipped in one or more paint baths. The duration of the bath plays with the intensity of the color, and only the parts outside the knot are painted.Dabu (block print)Dabu is a way of printing patterns on fabric using wooden blocks. It is a very widespread technique in Rajasthan. The wood blocks are carefully hand carved by artisans (Chippai), then used to print the patterns on silk or cotton. Dabu is a manual printing technique that is still practiced today.IkatIkat is a dyeing and weaving process . The design is created by first dyeing the weft thread with all the colors that will appear in the final piece with great precision. At the time of weaving, the design elements are created by juxtaposing the parts of the yarn of the appropriate color.ChanderiThis fabric takes its name from its original production center in the state of Madhya Pradesh in India . It is a production group that dates back several centuries and produces fine textured fabrics adorned with silk and cotton. It is a very light and very fragile canvas, decorated with complex patterns, used to make very elegant sarees .MadrasMadras is a brightly colored cloth from the city of Chennai . It is a fabric made of banana , cotton and silk fibers . After Indian immigration to the West Indies, Madras is now associated with the traditional female dress of the West Indies and Guyana.KhadiTraditionally, khadi is a cotton fabric, but it can also be made of wool. For the Indians it is not just a simple piece of cloth, it has a strong sentimental value. Gandhi promoted this fabric to improve India's rural economy in the 20th century during and after independence. The Khadi movement aimed to boycott foreign products and promote Indian products. The fight for freedom centered on the port of Khadi.KalamKari.KalamKari is a traditional South Indian art. It is a cotton canvas painted by hand with vegetable dyes. The cotton fabric is dipped for one hour in a mixture of myrabalam (resin) and cow's milk. Then, using a bamboo point, we draw the outlines and patterns. Then we apply the vegetable dyes gradually, after the application of each color, the Kalamkari is washed off.Therefore, each fabric can undergo up to 20 washes. Different effects are also obtained when using cow manure, seeds, plants or even crushed flowers.

Although thinking about going back to work is never a pleasant task, preparing our home office for it can be. Choosing new furniture or refreshing the design of the office can be the only fun thing about the return from vacation. That is why we are going to try to take advantage of that positive point with some ideas and tips to renovate and prepare our home office .Don't skimp on the furnitureFirst things first and to get your home office ready, there are two fundamental elements to choose from: the desk and the chair. It is not good to sting at this point since we will spend many hours using this furniture and it must be comfortable as well as aesthetic.The office chair will have to be ergonomic and adapt well to our body and posture if we do not want to end up with the back as a question mark. It should also fit the size of the area and the desk itself.As for the aforementioned desk , we will look for one that respects our needs. For this we must think about what and how we are going to use it. Perhaps it will have to be for two people, we may need a lot of space for work tools or perhaps what we want is to be adjustable.Make it yoursCustomize your work area at home to make it according to both your tastes and your needs and you will not fail. If we work in an ergonomic place that at the same time makes our eyes happy, we will be more comfortable and even more productive.We can change the handles of the drawers, put our favorite ornaments and plants or add that flexo that we always liked. Follow your own style and keep it tidy so that getting to work gives you a cozy feeling and doesn't become an ordeal.Make organization your mottoAs we mentioned in the previous point, maintaining order is essential to create a healthy work area. To achieve this, one of the keys is to organize the utensils and tools that we use. Store what you don't use daily in drawers and place what you use continuously on open shelves or shelves so you have it on hand and find it quickly.You can also add an organizational panel to your desk where, with magnets or push pins, you can place notes or pending tasks. Now that you have come this far, get yourself an agenda that will help you organize your day to day.Fill it with lightWorking in a dark place is not the same as working in a well-lit one. If you have a window in the room where you have the office area, take advantage of it. Use blinds or curtains that adapt to your climate, being able to make the most of a low light or, on the contrary, cover the light enough so that it does not heat the room.The more natural and less artificial light that illuminates your workday, the better. But when you have no choice but to turn on the light, have auxiliary lights on hand that do not dazzle you while being enough to see without straining your eyes.Ready to prepare your home office after the holidays?
