Welcome to www.jimcotrailers.com

I’ve done some research but I got a little confused with all the different certifications, and degrees there are for interior design or home staging careers. I don’t know wich will be best to go for. Can anybody tell me what will be the best thing to do to start a career in any of these two fields and be able to get great oportunities once done with education?

I guess you should start doing make over services to get experience and after that, it is a time to applying on some company that hiring interior design jobs and get big salary.

I would like to use a lighter color for the floor moulding, and a darker color for the doors and the trim around the doors. Any thoughts?

It is your house, and you can do whatever you want with it. However, I think that if you paint the floor molding a different color than the doors and trim, it will be noticeable, and not in a good way. If you are going to do something like that, I would suggest the lighter color for the molding, and the trim and then just do the doors in a darker color. Or swap the palette, put the darker color on the molding and trim; and the lighter color on the doors.

I’d like to know what was typical in interior design for a home in this period. I’m buying a cottage style home built in 1920, and I’d love to integrate some of the traditional style with my contemporary taste. What was popular in color, line, etc? Any suggestions for websites that I can check out would be so appreciated =) Thanks!

Here are a few links to give you visuals.

Design would be significant to the area and local resources. …For instance if there was a rock quarry nearby you would see stone walks. 1920 was the onset of the "Honeymoon Cottage" in the beach communities. You will find heavily influenced "Edwardian Period" and the beginnings of "Art Deco". Egyptian and oriental influences were common. Black and reds were used in coloring and Bright green, jade, turquoise, eau-de-nil, mint or peacock blue or deep blue, are all really gorgeous colors of the time, and contrast nicely with a pale grey. The Arts and Crafts era post WW1 was in swing. Or you can replicate the highly sought after Gustav Stickley homes. The rich had Greene and Greene, Frank Lloyd Wright and others as their Arts & Crafts-style architects. The poorer folk built Sears and Aladdin "kit" homes.

================================

Unfortunately, UV light would fail to penetrate all crevices and compartments. It would work well on open surfaces but not so well wherever light doesn’t easily penetrate.

The older method used to be dry heat sterilisation:

Basically, you bake it in an oven for a few hours. This is apparently sometimes not great for spacecraft, so newer methods are being developed, like zapping your spaceraft with a plasma gun:

I am 14, and i love interior design. I want to get a early start so i can be super good by the time in almost out of college so i can start my own carrer. How can i get started?

Honestly, it just takes time. It’s awesome that you know what you want to do though, but I think you’re jumping the gun. If you really want to, you can look into summer workshops for interior design, I’m sure they have some around somewhere. However, these summer camps usually cost money. Better than sitting around all summer, though, and you get hands on experience. And don’t forget that often you’d have to design for what the customer wants, not necessarily what you want. (However I’m sure you’ll have opportunities to go wild with your imagination!).
Essentially: try looking for colleges that offer summer camps.

I want to do interiors for my newly contructed flat, which is on 6th floor.
It is 2 room – kitchen. I need advices regarding painting house, interior constuctions, furniture selection-arrangement etc. Pls refer me about any websites or blogs or information, from where I could benefited to decore my house.

Oh so a flat huh…

I not really an expertise in this Interior design but since I’m still 17 and a student, I take art and I’m sort off better in designing and drawing a home with the perspective effect…

With the condition of the flat that located at the 6th floor, you should reduce the load that you will take with to the floor. I prefer you a Minimalist style, Modern style or Zen’s style.

I consider your home is a medium-sized home so, you should make it look larger. Room with harmony, cool and soft color might perfect to make your room looks bigger in size. Use a soft color of purple, blue or green. It also make your eyes comfort and not too stress especially when back at work.

Make your room completed with theme. Don’t choose a theme like tropical that is too messy for a not very big room. Choose a theme like Translucency , Japanese or any theme that will reveal the room. But don’t make it too empty…

The furniture, like I say, you can use a Minimalist, Modern or Zen style that much simpler and easy to decorate. Furniture with white and black in color is suitable for a room with the color that I mention previously. In addition, black and white a universal color, both match to any colors. Furniture should be simple but so comfortable. The sofa is better in black if you wanna a leather or white if you wanna a fur or cotton or any soft material sofa. Don’t take any classical style that mainly consist of wood furnishing. It ruining the modern effects. Majority this type of furniture are much easier to moved off. I would like to recommend you a coffee table or dining table with glass and metals materials. Looks simple, modern.

About the arrangement, try to use a arrangement that increase the space. Don’t use too many decor and furniture till make your home looks too massive. I don’t know how the rooms look like so I don’t want to recommends more. The decor is better if you use a glass or any silicon material that have the transparency effects, or decor with metallic effect that mainly made off aluminum or stainless steel. Bout the kitchen… use a simple furniture and have a good air circulation.

Lastly, a small green plant is good to make your home looks fresh. The pot can be in a glass bowl, use a gel to plant it and use a river stone or pebbles to make it more living… You can imagine it…

nothing too fancy i cant paint or wallpaper im more looking for colours and different things like soft furnishings. and cheap

Hope it helped

I can’t decide between the two careers, I’m starting university at Yale in 5 months & I have NO IDEA. I love writing & traveling but I also love designing/decorating houses. Is it possible to become a travel writer but also an interior designer? Will it be hard to balance both jobs?

Their respective labor unions will not allow this.

But seriously, if you have a client that needs a space done in New York City for an event this weekend, but you are doing a travel assignment in Bankok, how do you reconcile this?

In my opinion, you’ll need to, at least, START off with one career, relegating the other interest to that of a hobby, until you can figure out a way to juggle the two jobs. If I were the editor of a prestigious travle magazine, I wouldn’t think I could depend on a writer who has committments that are not compatible with the magazine’s.

The Catholic church costumes are simply fabulous, especially the hats and fuzzy robes and every show is like a Broadway musical. I wonder if the Priests delve into interior decorating and do each others hair when they want to have a gay time.

I’m sure they have all that you mentioned, plus plenty of teddy bears and candy bowls for the kids they invite into their bedrooms to "pray".

Where can i get those images of good house interiors & also want 2 download d same…. please help me

you can use google images, india for the same.

however, you can also try interior decoration & designing magazines such as "Inside, Outside" – they have some very good visuals of various types of houses. they always do a case-study/photo-montage of atleast one house.
if they have a site, check it out.
also check for copyright, etc.

hope this helps
all the very best
