For reasons of practicality, I put a bathroom in the front of the house, adjacent to the living room. But the thing is, the bathroom door was facing the living room. How, do you? Should I change the position of the door?
WHEN visiting a colleague’s house and into the living room, Alan felt there was something that made him uncomfortable. At first he did not realize what was making her uncomfortable.
Investigate a investigate, it was felt that arise because of the door of the bathroom / toilet in the guest room. Position right door leads to where he sat. This condition becomes less fun, because every time the bathroom door opened, either by people who want to enter into or by the person who wants to get out of the bathroom – she was like a scene presented in the shower room and toilet in it. Discomfort becomes more severe when the bathroom door open when is seoang get a drink or tasting snacks that are served by the host.

Alan’s situation can be experienced by anyone. Although the condition bathroom with toilet is very manicured, clean, and smell nice, we might still not be rid of thoughts of dirty toilets and smelly. This is understandable, because the function is to remove the toilet, smelly droppings and dirty.
When viewed from the ethics of the East, this situation will certainly not give the impression that friendly and less well than the owner of the house to guests.

Therefore, the laying of the election or garden lights should be adjusted to the desired atmosphere. This is because the existence of the park lights could form an atmosphere. Harmonization rules also required the following in mind when putting the lamp design selection to create a fitness aspect.
Therefore, the selection of garden lights had to be adjusted to the basic concept of the park. To park with traditional concepts, for example, lighting design presented must reflect lawasnya model.

The reason, the scene in the pool just is not exotic anymore.
