Specific needs: You might like to read a book or have a glass of wine while soaking in the bathtub. A bathtub caddy will be very handy for you. Choose accessories that cater to your personal needs. Theme: Decide if you want a theme for your bathroom. If you do then all accessories that you buy for this space will have to be in synch with the overall design scheme. Material used: The bathroom is a wet area. Accessories used here will be constantly exposed to moisture and dampness. Make sure they are made with durable, water resistant and dust proof material. Functional bathroom accessories, decorative ones or both Before buying accessories for your bathroom, you need to decide whether you want a purely utilitarian space or one that is both functional and elegant.

Choosing the bathroom accessory is of the utmost importance. Bear in mind that constant attacks by humidity make bathrooms especially vulnerable and likely to deteriorate faster than any other room in the house. Likewise, accessories that are found in the bathroom need to be built of materials resistant to moisture, and should be hardwearing enough to last you a long time. Stainless steel, porcelain plastic and acrylic all exhibit these properties. Paint must also be chosen with the same criteria in mind. Talk with a specialist to help you choose the right bathroom paints. And state-of-the-art application of the paint will save you much aggravation over time. Likewise, a quick consultation with an advisor will help you select the quality accessories you need. Decorating your bathroom with the right accessory set • Bathrooms are often small, accessories must therefore be purchased on the basis both the available space and the desired effect. They also need to be arranged harmoniously and efficiently. •  Bathroom hardware such as soap dishes , toothbrush holders , trash cans , shower curtain rods , bath towels and others must satisfy both practical and decorative needs. •  Shower curtains are an important part of bathrooms equipped with bath showers. Use them to refine your seasonal decor for example by alternating rich fabric curtains over the same waterproof plastic liner. You can also overlay different fabrics to personalize the design of your shower curtain. •  Generally, less expensive shower curtains are made of a single waterproof fabric, printed in strong colors while better curtains offer more choices. Depending on quality, shower curtains may last for years or barely make it through a few months. In the end, it is matter of quality. Using Contemporary accessories for your bathroom Bath towels serve as excellent bathroom decor elements. They can be in colors that match those of the shower curtain or complement them. Or they can match or complement the colors of the window curtains. Or they can contrast the curtains or the walls. Or you can customize them by adding a fabric border that matches a part of your decor.

Bathrooms used by adults (either parents or guests) and children have different requirements. For kid’s bathroom, safety will be your primary concern in bathroom design. Use shatterproof acrylic or plastic bathroom accessories, such as toothbrush holders and drinking cups. Rounded corners and edges, non-slip backings on rugs and grab bars in the shower or bath are also important. • The bathroom decor theme. An easy way to personalize your bathroom is by decorating with a theme (beach, animal, classic, country, elegant, ultra modern, etc). Also, having a theme in mind will help guide your bathroom design. Once you have determined your bathroom decor theme, just choose the theme-related bathroom accessories to turn your bathroom into a spa-like respite or a tropical paradise or what ever you like. • Budget.

All you need to do is to add a few rugs and towels that go along with the wallpaper and your entire bathroom will look different. • Lights with a dimmer are a good choice for bathroom decor because this will allow you to have brighter light when you need it, like for shaving or applying makeup, and you'll also be able to dim the lights for a relaxing bath. • Plants are also great in bathroom decorating. There are many types of houseplants that will thrive in the bathroom. Adding even a small touch of greenery can bring in a little life, and the pot you choose for the plant can also add its own decorative touch. • Scented candles are simple but useful bathroom decors which can add so much to a bathroom.

For example, don’t use a busy wallpaper pattern, as the room will seem smaller and more cluttered. • Vertical lines add height to a room by drawing the eye upwards. Tiles that are extended to the ceiling can make a small bathroom feel larger. Painting a vertical stripe or using a similar wallpaper pattern is also a good idea. • One of the best ways to make a space appear larger when decorating a small bathroom is to incorporate mirrors. In addition to adding dimension, mirrors intensify light and emit a certain kind of radiance that complements home interiors while helping to mask wall defects. • Make sure you include adequate storage as clutter only exacerbates the problems of a small bathroom. Exposed shelves, recessed cabinets and floating cabinets are a good option, with the latter leaving more exposed floor space. • Provide a unified look in your bathroom by displaying matching bath accessories. • A lovely way to display a bar of soap or to dispense liquid soap is by incorporating a decorative soap dish or soap dispenser. There are many different styles to choose from to and it will make a decorative statement in your bathroom. • If you prefer to keep your toothbrush on top of the vanity but want to display it in a stylish manner, you may wish to place it inside a decorative toothbrush holder. • Coordinate the rest of your bathroom ensemble with a matching tumbler. Not only is it functional, but it looks pretty on top of a bathroom vanity. • Decorative fixtures such (as towel bar, towel ring, bathroom shelf) adds a lot of beauty and elegance to a bathroom.

Going by how we misuse and pollute the environment, most likely a diseased one. Is that what they deserve? Certainly not! The current state of the environment is rather grim to say the least. Global warming, unprecedented droughts and floods worldwide, food shortages in some countries, pollution linked diseases are all warning signs which we can ill afford to ignore. Sure we can’t undo the harm already caused by industrialization, deforestation and several other activities of mankind over the past century or so. What we can do however is make sure that further damage is prevented. And that can only be possible if each of us contributes in our own small way to preserve and protect the only home we all have. Read more... Eco products – one step forward Let’s leave the global environment issues to the world leaders and their worldwide summits. We must make a beginning today, rather now. Look around you. And see if you use energy conserving appliances and gadgets. Or if the products you use on a daily basis are environment friendly. Unless you’re really committed to environment conservation, the answer is likely to be no. Maybe you aren’t even aware that so many such products are being manufactured and retailed around the world. But the good news is that a small but significant beginning has already been made. There is a whole range of organic or eco products as they are known, available today. From food, cosmetics, household cleaning agents, to clothes, bags, furniture and even houses, everything comes in an eco-friendly variant. The special quality of these products is that they are made of natural resources and are bio-degradable. Some help in serious energy conservation. Some are even manufactured using recycled plastic – what better way to deal with something that’s going to lie around for hundreds of years than to reinvent and reuse it Choose from our range of great eco-products We’ve also made a small contribution to this cause by offering you several innovative eco friendly products to choose from. Among these are: Clothes Dryers Clothes Dryers: Why have an electric dryer that uses up so much electric power. Opt for a dryer from our eco range and conserve energy. These dryers come in four different variants, each designed to meet specific space requirements. Some are created specially for the outdoors and some for small spaces inside the house. Eco humidifier Eco humidifier: This great appliance keeps your indoors comfortable without any energy utilization. All you have to do is pour water into it and place it near a wall vent, radiator or baseboard heater and it adds the necessary moisture to the air. It’s great for the environment and great for you and your indoor plants as well. The 2 designs of humidifiers that you will find here, are perfect for the modern home – made of fine stainless steel in elegant designs, they look great and work to perfection. Products made of recycled plastic Products made of recycled plastic: Whoever thought of this has done a great service to mankind. There is so much plastic lying around that it only makes sense to recycle, and reuse it as much as we can. Currently we offer you recycled plastic cans in a really trendy design and 2 cool colors. Products made of renewable bamboo Products made of renewable bamboo: Unlike other forest trees, which take about 50-60 years to grow, bamboo plants re-grow within 2-3 years, without adversely affecting the environment. Bamboo plants need less water, less energy and no fertilizers or pesticides for sustenance. It therefore makes sense to make more and more use of bamboo and its products. Bamboo is used as building material, as flooring in homes, as furniture, blinds, mats and other wonderful accessories. One among these is a chic bathtub caddy which is available on this site. When you use an eco-product, you’re doing your bit for the environment. By using energy conserving devices and using alternate sources of energy you make sure that there is less carbon emission into the atmosphere. Using organic food, toiletries, household products etc reduces the amount of chemicals in the environment. By making use of more and more sustainable forest products you help check deforestation. And by buying and using products made from recycled materials, you reduce the amount of waste that is pilling up everywhere. So get environment friendly today. It’s sure to make a difference somewhere! admin@vitalwares.ca http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_461_168 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 05:28:12 -0400 http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_461_168_456 The environment today is in such a fragile state that even mundane activities like how we wash and dry our clothes can impact it. Whether this impact is positive or negative is entirely up to us. Man has been washing and drying clothes ever since he started wearing them. In the last one hundred years, technology made this laborious task easier with the introduction of washers and then more recently dryers. It has made life easier for mankind alright but things have gone from bad to worse for the environment. Energy utilization and carbon emissions have reached an all time high. Dryers are extremely high energy consuming devices. On an average a single tumble dryer can consume 460Kw/hour per year. Not to mention the harmful carbon released into the atmosphere. The questions we need to ask then are: • Do we really need these dryers? • Would it not make more sense to go back to the natural way of drying clothes? The obvious answers are No and Yes. Read more... Eco-friendly clothes dryers are the best option There’s nothing like drying your clothes out in the sun or wind. The clothes come back fresh and smelling of the elements of nature. And for that there are wonderful outdoor dryer options available in the market. But not everyone is lucky enough to enjoy bright sunshine through the year. Along with the sunshine, there’s got to be a little rain sometime. And snow. And storms. So what happens then? No need to go rushing back to your electric dryer. There is a solution for that too. And it’s not making your radiator your washing line. Or having wet clothes all over the furniture. A range of innovatively designed indoor clothes dryers or airers as they are also known, are available in the market and these can be used in your home in unobtrusive and imaginative ways. They dry your clothes by utilizing the heat from your radiator or central heating unit.

Making use of bamboo and bamboo products in our everyday lives will be a significant step in the right direction. Read more... What makes Bamboo a friend of the environment? Bamboo is green in the true sense of the word. And contrary to what a lot of people think, bamboo is not a tree. It’s gigantic grass that can grow up to about 80 ft. What makes it totally unique that it takes a bamboo plant only about 6 years to mature as against about 60 years for any other average tree. This makes it the most renewable natural resource. You can replant a new bamboo soon after harvesting the old one and within a few weeks is grows to a height that can be utilized again. By planting and using bamboo, you are not depriving the earth of its green cover. The bamboo plant also contributes significantly in checking soil erosion which is a major problem for new construction sites by helping hold the soil firmly in place. In addition to this bamboo helps to slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain as it runs down a natural or man made incline. How do we incorporate Bamboo usage in our everyday life? Bamboo has been used in the eastern parts of the world for thousands of years. Now with environment consciousness on the rise and the eco friendly nature of bamboo being understood by people in the West, bamboo is finding its way into people’s lives around the globe. Bamboo is a truly versatile plant. Here’s where all you can use it: • Construction: Dried Bamboo as a building material has been found to be extremely rigid, durable and strong and is able to weather any climatic conditions. • Furniture: Bamboo furniture has always been popular as an outdoor furniture option. Now it is finding its way indoors and stunning new designs and styles are available for you to choose for your home. You have beds, sofas, tables, cabinets and a host of other furniture varieties being produced with bamboo. • Home Décor: There a plenty of home decor products made with Bamboo that can really enhance your house, both indoors and outdoors.

It’s the fabric for all kinds of weather, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Bamboo fabric can be worn or used as bed and bath linen. • Flooring: Everyone loves wooden flooring. Bamboo can be used as a great alternative natural wooden flooring. Dried and treated, bamboo behaves like any other wood and it is naturally pest resistant. This makes it ideal to be used as flooring in homes. While it may be a little expensive at times, it will give you the satisfaction of having a wooden floor without the guilt of having exploited the environment. • Food: The Chinese have been using bamboo shoots in their cuisine for centuries. Now the rest of the world is slowly also developing a taste for it. Bamboo shoots or the soft parts found at the base of the plant are especially used in the preparation of soups and other oriental delicacies. • Fencing: Bamboo is a naturally dense and sturdy plant and grows very quickly. Once it starts growing, it’s virtually impossible to stop it from covering a designated area. You can grow in around your yard or lawn as your every own natural private fence. There are even more innovative ways in which bamboo is being used by enterprising designers around the world. People are making musical instruments, fishing rods, toys and paper with it. There is also one company in the US which makes bamboo bicycles. There obviously is no limit to being creative with bamboo. With over 1,500 varieties of bamboo growing around the world, there is clearly immense scope for making bamboo and its products an integral part of our lives. Make an environment friendly, eco-driven decision today. Pick up a bamboo product for your home and make your small yet important contribution to this gigantic cause. admin@vitalwares.ca http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_461_168_171 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:52:32 -0400 http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_461_226 What do we know about Humidifiers?

The quilt is sure to warm you in a jiffy. A pretty quilt also adds warmth and charm to your room and makes it look cozy and inviting. Read more... What exactly is a quilt? A quilt is essentially two layers of fabric stitched together with padding or insulating layer of cotton straw, feathers etc between them. The entire quilt has an intricate stitching pattern which prevents the filling from clumping, and at the same time provides a decorative touch. Traditionally quilts were made by stitching small pieces of fabric (usually scrap) together. Modern quilts are specially designed with particular fabrics to create an attractive pattern. No matter what kind of décor you prefer, traditional or contemporary there are quilts available to suit your taste. There are quilts that take you back in time and there are others that are clearly made keeping the present and future in mind. Some quilts are works of art, others relatively simple. Some follow a simple color scheme; others use a combination of vibrant colors. Whatever the style, quilts do wonders for your interiors. An attractive quilt can make your bedroom look fabulous Quilts provide warmth and comfort as soon as the frost sets in. That’s what they are made for. Their aesthetic appeal however is no less important. A quilt on a bed provides a special character to your bedroom. The beautiful use of colors, exquisite patterns, the quilting and other embellishments all add a distinctive touch of class to your room. Team this with a few quilted pillows and cushions and you have a work of art right there in your bedroom. Quilts can be taken beyond the bedroom Bedrooms aren’t the only place where you can use quilts. They can find their place all over your home: • In the living room, you can use the really exquisite ones as wall hangings. You can drape one over a sofa and you can also turn them into curtains or cushions or even floor mats. • In the kitchen, you can use them as informal table cloths, or runners or even table mats and coasters. • You can decorate a child's room with stuffed bears made from quilted pieces. Delightful crib sets can be made from larger quilts. Quilts beautify your home no matter where you or how you display them. 4 great reasons to buy quilts for your home • warm you up on a cold night of course! • To create a warm and cozy ambience in your home. • To instantly transform the look of one or more rooms. All you have to do is simply change the quilt. • Since quilts are available in innumerable designs and colors, you can opt for one which is in perfect harmony with you, your furniture and everything else in your home. What to consider when choosing quilts for your home • Decide in advance how much money you want to spend. • Choose whether you want a hand made or a machine made quilt. Handmade pieces are more expensive but they are one of a kind and often passed down generations. Machine made quilts on the other hand are more practical and unlikely to last beyond a few years. • Choose quilts that you really like. Don't bother about current trends too much. Anything that appeals to you will look appealing in your home • A quilt should neither be too big nor too small. A quilt should cover the top of the bed and hang down at least 4 inches lower than the top mattress all the way around 3 sides. • Make sure the stitches are consistent and close together. Regular, tiny stitches are best, and 6 to 8 stitches per inch on the top of the quilt are considered ideal. • Focus on coordinating, not matching. Even if the quilt is not the same color as your curtains it’s still ok. In fact the more different a quilt, the more it will stand out. • Consider the function of the quilt before you buy. An antique or a valuable quilt is best hung on a wall where it is out of reach of dirty and sticky hands and a less expensive one is ideal as a bedspread or a throw on a sofa. • Make sure you choose colors and patterns that work for you and complement your décor. • If you have allergy problems, it is best to go for cotton and polyfill padding. • Buy lightweight quilts if you want to use them just as throws and coverlets, but opt for thicker ones if you are looking at providing an insulation layer for your bed • Look at the washing instructions carefully. If the quilt is likely to be used a lot, make sure you can easily wash it. Special Quilts for Special People Baby and Kiddy Quilts are available in lovely colors and styles. These are designed keeping in mind the special needs of the little people. Which means, extra soft fabrics, cotton or other non allergic padding and soothing colors particularly for babies.

Almost everyone sleeps with one or more under their head. Pillows have always been used for the sleeping comfort they provide. But now pillows are also being used to make a strong style statement. Dressing up beds with several pillows of varying sizes and colors is a modern and popular bedroom décor trend. Read more... Some people like to use so many pillows that half of the bed disappears under the pile. Others may just add one accent pillow over their sleeping pillow arrangement. So selecting pillows for the bedroom is now just as much about comfort as it is about creating a look. And why just bedrooms? Designer throw pillows are being used in living rooms and other spaces around the house to get that classy, cool and comfy look! You’ll find several such pillows available on this site. These are available in a range of colors and patterns to augment the interiors of your home. How to complement your room with pillows When dressing up your bed with pillows, make sure you use fits in with the style of your room. For example a four poster bed in a formal setting can be dressed with many fancy pillows and cushions in different sizes and exquisite textures. However if your décor is contemporary, or even casual, don’t try and dress up the bed too much. It will make it look completely out of sync with everything else around it. Dress up the bed by all means, but don’t go overboard. The idea is to complement not to disturb the balance. Choose contrasting colors. This makes decorative pillows stand out. Vibrant contrasting colors make the room look interesting while simple contrasting ones make it look more formal. So if you select a pale neutral color for the sleeping pillows, the next set could be a deep red or a bold blue. This is bound to attract attention. So play with colors and even patterns while decorating your bed. While there is no limit to the number of pillow you can use on your bed, the standard practice is to use a set of 2-4 comfortable sleeping pillows as the base layer, a smaller set of fluffier decorative pillows as the intermediate layer, topped off with a couple of even smaller and more attractive ones! It makes sense to follow these principles, but most of all, use your intuitive decorating skills, figure out what works best for your space and of course have a lot of fun along the way! Factors to consider while buying your pillows A good pillow not just provides comfort; it also provides support to your neck and back. Choosing the perfect pillow is a time consuming exercise, but it’s worth spending time and effort on. Here are some tips that might help you make the right choice: • Make sure the pillow supports your sleeping posture. Select a soft pillow if you sleep on your stomach or frequently move around. This will make sure you don’t strain your neck or suffocate. Opt for a medium pillow for good support if you sleep on your back. Try a firm pillow for maximum support if you sleep on your side. • Find out what the pillow is filled with. It could be polyester, foam, goose down or a combination of feathers and down. If you prefer a soft pillow then down will work well for you. If you prefer a supportive one go for memory foam or latex. Even polyester is comfortable but it does not fluff up too well • Check the amount of filling in the pillow .The more the filling, the firmer the pillow. • Make sure there’s no leakage from the seams. • If you are allergic, opt for hypo-allergenic or allergy free pillows • Choose a cover fabric that's breathes and is soft. • Opt for a suitable size. Most pillows come in 2 sizes - Standard and King. King sized pillows can be too long so you could go for 3 standard pillows instead of 2 King Size for a King Size mattress. A Pillow for every need There are pillows available for every space and every specific need. Check out any pillow store and you’ll find a wide selection of decorative pillows, accent pillows, body pillows, travel pillows, cervical pillows, floor pillows and even microbead pillows!

How mirrors work wonders in your home In addition to doing what they are supposed to do – show you your reflection and tell you how you’re looking at that particular moment, mirrors can do wonders as space enhancers. Mirrors provide the illusion of space: If you are faced with a space constraint in your home, make liberal use of mirrors. Visually, they will open up the space. Small living rooms and bedrooms appear considerably larger if you devote one entire wall to mirrors. The visual duplication of space will make the room look much bigger than it actually is. Mirrors reflect light and color: In case your space is particularly dark with say, just one window to let in the natural light, place a mirror just opposite the window. The mirror reflects the light and your room becomes brighter in an instant. The same technique works with an artificial light source as well. If you can put a mirror on your ceiling you can give a stunning lighting effect to your room. Mirrors open up narrow passages: If your problem is a rather narrow passage at the entrance or anywhere else in your home, you can make it look much larger with the use of mirrors. Hang mirrors on both walls facing each other, the space looks much wider and spacious than it actually is. Now you won’t ever feel the passage closing in on you. If you want to make hallway look longer, put up a mirror at the end of the hallway. Mirrors look wonderful as pieces of décor: Mirrors look spectacular as wall decor. For a wonderful effect, you can make a collage of different shapes and sizes mirrors and put it up on a focal wall or behind a sofa instead of a conventional painting. Alternately, you can put up a mirror in conjunction with other pieces of décor to create a really unique wall arrangement. Or you can put photographs around one large mirror. This looks fantastic as well. Mirrors complete your bathroom and dressing area: No bathroom is complete without at least mirror. Everyone uses one for shaving or to apply makeup etc but a large bathroom mirror can also add a look of increased space and lighting to a small area. You can place one facing the bathtub or on the door in addition to the one about the basin. These days magnifying mirrors are also being increasingly used in bathrooms. Whether your dressing area is in your bedroom or you’re lucky enough to have a separate dressing room, mirrors are a vital element of this space. You can use one large mirror and several smaller ones like cosmetic mirrors and magnifying mirrors to really take a good and close look at yourself. Mirrors brighten up your kitchen: Creative usage of mirrors in the kitchen can make the area look bigger and brighter. If your little ones like to help you in the kitchen, a mirror over the stove, allows your child to stay at a safe distance and yet see what’s going on. Mirrors add a special touch to your furniture: Your coffee table will look out of this world if you replace the top with a mirror. Any thing placed on gets reflected in the mirror adding color and texture. An attractive table or console with a decorative mirror on top placed at the entrance of your home looks very welcoming. This is also where you get a last glimpse of yourself as you step out of the house. Decorative mirrors, added behind book cases make them look really attractive If used in an imaginative way, mirrors can really add glitz and glamour to your home.

This could be in the form of a wall collage or a set of frames set on a table or console. Photo frames don’t just look good in groups. A stylish stand alone frame with a beautiful picture can look equally striking. Photo frames are also perfect for protecting pictures from dust and decay.

How to choose the right photo frame When you set out to buy a frame, you’ll find there’s so much to choose in terms of colors, shapes, styles, textures and materials that you’re likely to be completely baffled. Here are some tips that might help: • Make sure that the material of the frame is in sync with the rest of the décor. Stainless steel or metallic frames with clean lines look perfect in a modern setting. Silver frames work well in a more traditional or formal setting. • The subject of the photograph needs to be considered too. A close up of a beautiful lady requires a really elegant frame while a picture of your kids and your dog could do with a slightly more informal one. • Very ornate picture frames are too overpowering and most often overshadow the picture. It makes sense to opt for stylish yet subtle designs. • Also take into account the color scheme, the furniture and other elements in the room that the frame will need to fit in with. You can either choose something that blends in perfectly or something that stands out totally. The choice is entirely yours! • Lastly make sure the frame you buy reflects your taste. Don’t buy anything just because it is in vogue and everyone has it. Sooner or later, you’re going to throw it away. Photo frames are special. They keep our memories alive. And that makes us happy. So go ahead, choose one more memorable moment and immortalize it in a new photo frame today! admin@vitalwares.ca http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_116 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:47:22 -0400 http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_116_182 admin@vitalwares.ca http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_116_182 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:51:46 -0400 http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=120_116_183 Much as we’d like to, it is not possible to display all the photographs we’ve ever taken in, around our homes. The best are put up, the rest are put away. And how are they put away? More often than not, shoved in just any kind of box or bag and stored at the back of a cupboard or a drawer. This is a mistake a lot of people commit. What they probably do not realize is that this will eventually lead to irreparable damage to the images that they have so painstakingly captured through their camera’s lens over the years. So what’s the solution? A simple object called the photo box! Read more... What harms your photographs? Everything grows old with time. Even your photographs! As they age, factors like environmental pollution, humidity, heat and acidity (acid is found in most materials like paper, wood and plastic that boxes are normally made of) and even light cause adverse chemical reactions that eventually lead to damage and discoloration of your precious photos. Why do you need to store your photographs in a photo box? A photo box protects your photographs against all these detrimental conditions. Mind you a photo box is no ordinary box. It’s a scientifically designed box, treated with an alkaline substance that can neutralize the effects of acidic materials that come into contact with your photographs. Some are lined with acid resistant paper inside to provide you extra protection against acid attack. Photo boxes when stored in a cool, dry and dark place also provide photographs protection against pollutants, temperature variations and dampness, the other adverse factors. A photo box also makes storing and sorting of photographs really systematic and organized. You can sort photos according to date, subject, occasion etc and place them in different photo boxes. These can then be stacked one on top of the other. This saves space and it also makes it easier to trace a particular picture when you go hunting for it months or even years later. Factors to consider when buying a photo box There are a few important things to keep in mind for when choosing a photo box: • Material – Ensure that the material used to make the box is treated with an alkaline buffering agent that works as a safeguard against acidic reactions. Cheap imitations of these boxes made with inferior material can cause more harm than good. Stay away from these. • Size – Make sure the box you are buying is of the right size and depth to store a large number of photos together. Sizes for photo boxes range between 8/10 inches to 22/30 inches and all come with a three-inch depth. If the box is too small, photos will not stay flat and that may damage the surface of the photo. In case the box is too big the photographs will have too much space to move around and the edges might get damaged by excessive rubbing, both with the box and with other prints. • Corners – The corners of the photo box must be reinforced with metal. Otherwise it will sag when you stack a number of photo boxes together. This will in turn damage what it is inside. • Accessories - Most photo boxes come with acid proof clear plastic bags. These are extremely useful for easy storage and viewing of single pictures. You can also consider using acid free tissue paper placed between photos for additional safety. Together, with photo boxes these will provide you a complete and fool proof photo storage system. You’ll just love this amazing photo box We bring you a completely unique photo box.

Sounds strange doesn’t it? But that’s exactly what happened since the very first thing people used to tell the time was the sun! You could tell the time by looking at the sun as it crossed the sky. When it was directly overhead, it was mid-day. When it was near the horizon, it was early morning or early evening. Read more... Clocks over the years The sun therefore was the inspiration behind the first ever clock invented. This was a sundial and was used around 3,500 BC and you could tell the time from this sun clock by the position of the shadow of the sun on a dial. During the day, this was pretty accurate but at night, there was no way of telling the time in the absence of the sun. This drawback probably was the reason behind the invention of the water clocks invented around 1400BC by the Egyptians. Here water levels were used to tell the time. Unlike the sundial this was reliable both during the day and at night unlike the sundial. After the day was divided into 12 hours between sunrise and sunset, the water clock ceased to work as it had to be reset every day. Many attempts and many years later, the first proper pendulum clock with a seconds hand made its appearance around 1600. One problem with these pendulum clocks is that they stopped running after a while and had to be restarted. The first pendulum clock with external batteries was developed around 1840. By 1906, the batteries were inside the clock. Quartz crystal clocks were invented in 1920. They continue to be used to this day. Of course the technology is superior and the designs are more sophisticated in keeping with the changing times and home decor trends. Contemporary clocks Contemporary clocks have modernity written all over them. The new age look is achieved by using various types of materials like metal, colored fabrics, plastic or combination of all in the design. The shapes too are dramatic; it could be an oval, a squiggly line, a cube and anything in between. They all have sharp lines and often mix modern and traditional designs to get a totally different look. You can easily find contemporary clocks with unusual dials or backgrounds, interesting face colors and pictures that reflect your interests or style. Each of these modern clocks is different than the other but they all have one thing in common. They all make a strong style statement.
