What the name of the interior decor in bio shock 1 and 2 ?

Posted by Jade Martins on Oct-21-2010

I fell in love with it the moment i saw it can someone tell me what the interior design is ? also if you could tell me the name of the clothing style also that would be nice too.

I dunno the precise name of it, but the era appears to be 30′s to 40′s, at least the music is somewhat akin to that style.The interior design appears to be somewhat steampunk, considering the hacking minigame in Bioshock 1 (I dunno about the second one). Steampunk, in case you didn’t know, is the idea that if technology kept going based on steam, instead of normal forms of electricity you see today, then we would be using technology we use today, but powered by steampower. To be honest, it appears to be like if you combined steampunk technology and 1940′s architecture. The clothing appears to be the same, but more on the side of the 1940′s to 50′s. I hope that you find this useful!
By the way, for more steampunk games that kind of fit the architecture, check out Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, by Troika Games. Look it up on google, and I’m sure you’ll find it.

I’m looking for someone to contact with regards to who does the interior design and decorating decisions at stores like Victoria Secret, Express, the Limited, etc.

Closet Doors Dare To Be Different

Posted by Jade Martins on Jun-5-2010

You’ve just spent a considerable amount of money on the interior of your closet, installing a closet organizer to assure that your shoes, ties, belts, scarves, dresses, shirts and slacks are all easily accessible. As nice as the interior of your closet now looks, you don’t want the effect to be spoiled by a door that doesn’t do it, or the rest of your bedroom, justice.

How big is your closet?
Of course the type of closet door you have depends in large part on the size of your closet. If it’s a wall closet – very shallow – then of course you’ll need a different type of door then if it’s a walk-in.

The four types of closet door, therefore, would be the simple panel door that opens outward and lets you into the walk-in closet, bifold doors that let you view your wall closet, and the sliding doors which could be used for either version, depending on the length of the closet itself. The accordion door is also a choice.

Bifold doors would allow you to use over-the-door system to store shoes, for example – which would not work with a sliding door. Sliding doors can look more attractive than bifold doors, however.

Matching or contrasting colors?
Of course the first thing you’ll have to decide about the door is its color. You’ll need to find a color that will match your bedroom walls, or set it off in a striking manner. If you’d like to give your bedroom the illusion of greater size, than you’ll want to get mirrored doors. And for that really elegant touch, you can even get sliding frosted glass doors.

And you’ll have to give some thought to the future, of course. If you like to change the color of your bedroom every now and then, you won’t want to have to change the closet door as well because it would clash with your new decor.

Vinyl or wood or what?
And what should your closet doors be made of? You’ve got a lot of varieties to choose from: stamped steel, hollow core, super-thin wood, or solid wood. Solid wood doors give you the most variety in their design, for you can have them hinged, folding, sliding or with pocket applications. These doors can have flat panels – to which you can affix mirrors or fabric, or louvers. (Kestrel Wood Closet Doors is one company that offers solid wood doors of high quality. They also do custom doors.) For mirrored closet doors, Fort Glass (fabricators of Stanley Mirror Doors) are one provider out of several that you can investigate on the web.

There are so many choices that you won’t want to rush into your decision. Take your time investigating sources on the web, visit such stores as Home Depot or Menards or the specialty stores in your area. You can also take advantage of open houses in housing developments to go in and visit these houses and see the way those closets and bedrooms are designed. You’ll then be able to make an informed decision.

Where To Hang Tapestries In Your Home

Posted by Jade Martins on May-26-2010

You can use tapestries and rugs to create a delightful atmosphere, to make an uncomfortable big room look smaller in size, to increase the general effect of the room’s theme or to fill a desolate-looking room with warmth. The ideal tapestry or rug will be the one which will give the desired effect to your room so go for that rug or tapestry which you feel is ideal.

You can use rugs for multiple purposes in decorating your interior. Hang them on the walls and railings as tapestries or place them on the floor. Rugs are not only long lasting but they are also very portable.

Do not buy a costly and thick rug if the room is crowded most of the time. You buy a rug to have some color on the floor and possibly to act as an insulator. Such a kind of rug should be purchased in a dull color because it is not brought for the purpose of being the center of attraction. After all, your loved ones and guests will just pass through the rug.

On the other hand, tapestries will give out an impression about your personal style and fashion and as such they are intended to be seen by people. You can hang the tapestry on the wall near the entrance so as to give some impression about your home to your guests. The design of the tapestry should not be too much and it is essential that the tapestries be in warm and rich colors.

You interior decoration will give your guests some hints, about the kind of person that you are, right away. Keep this in mind the next time you go shopping for a tapestry or rug so that it will give a positive energy to your main entrance.

Adding numerous tapestries to a room will also add a lot of depth to your home decor. When doing this, make sure the tapestries and colors compliment each other so there is no clashing.
