4.Having a pet house in the corner of a garden is a good idea. If you have a dog then a dog house can work wonders. Dogs are usually more obedient than human kids. If they know there is a place for them to rest in shade in the garden they will definitely love that and rest there. Drop some pet toys like ball, sticks or tubes for the pet to make the place interesting for your pet. If space allows create a small pond near the dog house. While making the dog house keep in mind the size of your pet. It should be comfortable for your pet to get in and out of the house. Choose a shaded area for dog house.
5.One must be careful while using pesticides or herbicide. Limiting use of pesticidescan make the garden pet friendly as these chemicals when inhaled or taken, are potentially harmful for the health of your pet as well as your kids who roam around in the garden.
6.It is advisable to remove any poisonous plants from your garden as some dogs may chew leaves and if it is poisonous it can injure your pet.
7.A little training should be given to your pet with love like take it to a certain place for pee and pop everyday so that they can know where they should go for it. Train them not to spoil your garden or digging into grass. Dogs are very intelligent and they easily grasp your instructions when you teach them with affection. In this way you can have a nice pet and a nice garden without mess as it has a place for everything to play, to dig, to rest and to enjoy.

1. Simply colouring the walls in neutral colour might be ok in old times but today we love to experiment with walls to give them extraordinary catchy appearance. Using texture in wall colouring is one of the ideas. You do find a lot of designs when texture paint comes into your mind. Choose carefully the texture that must synchronize with the interior theme of room. The colour of texture paint must be in tone with the colour of entire room. One wall with texture does the trick so no need to do it on all four walls as it will be too much. The other three plain walls will complement the one textured wall. Decide in advance which wall to choose for texturing as the appearance of room will depend on that only.

 
2. Wall paper is another idea. It can be textured or embossed decorated wall paper for the entire room and professionals can only install them correctly. They give a new definition your room. They are less messy as compared to colouring or texturing the walls. These textured wall papers are available in multiple designs as well as colours in the market like bamboo design, flowery patterns, striped pattern, etc. lighter shades with two colour combination gives a classy look to your room.

 
3. Another idea is to use wall papers with some unique scenery like an autumn scene, a jungle scene, a huge flyover, a river bridge, a water fall or a mountain, a flower garden or any other huge scenery. Just one wall needs to be pasted by such wall paper and other walls must complement the scenery. It will give a lively look your room for such scenery the room size must be considered. No doubt this type of wall decoration uplifts the mood and gives refreshing feeling.

 
4. Using frames is another superb idea. Using antique huge ornate frames for a bold look in a traditionally themed decorated big room is a good option otherwise using modern artwork in one or multiple frames does the job tactfully.

 
5. One can display family photographs in a sequence with same style and colour of frames to give walls an interest. Old photographs are catchier than new and stylish one. So if you have a collection of those like your grandfather’s photo, great grandfather’s photo then use them tactfully. As it is said old is gold.

 
6. Framing the beautiful upholstery is another idea to decorate walls with a difference.

 
7. Creating your own collage with hand painted framing will give a personal touch to your wall. You can take the theme of sports personalities, your favourite stars, cartoon characters or your own family members as per your taste and preference.

 
8. Wall stickers is another option which is new, less expensive, easy to install, easy to remove and available in various themes, designs, colours and styles in the market. For kids room walls you can go for cartoon themes like Doremon, Chhota Bheem, etc.

 
9. You can show your collection by hanging them on a wall like collection of swards, artefacts, antique pieces or faces, etc. it will certainly change the looks of wall but hanging then in the right manner is important.

 
10. Shelving some part of wall does make sense as they are the most practical wall decoration solution. These shelves can be used to fit books, magazines or displaying vases, statues or photo frames.

Following tips will help you buy better:

1.Analyze your affordability:
The first thing before looking out for a home is to look into your pockets. Your financial status plays a major role and is amongst the most important factor to be considered while buying a house. Sit down with a calculator and check your present financial position. How much asset you have, how much savings you have done and how much loan can you take without overburdening yourself.
If you are clear with this and have reasonable answers to the above questions, move on to the next step of home buying.

2.Look out for a trustworthy lender:
Once you are clear on your financial status, start looking out for good lenders. Some reputed banks offer quick loan facilities with reasonable interest rates. Take a pen and paper and make ready a list of such lending concerns or individuals who are really worth trusting. Consider factors like interest rates liable for the given duration, time taken to sanction the loan amount and time taken for paperwork. Short list the lender based on your research and other sources of reliable information. You are now financially prepared for buying a house.

3.Get hold of the ideal property:
Now start looking for the property of your choice. Consider factors like the floor space, number rooms, number of balconies, parking provisions, water facilities, security, play area lift and other necessary amenities. Check out for Vaastu Compatibility, if you believe in it. If you find the particular fitting your needs, then zero in on that property.

4.Work on the zeroed in property:
Just because a property fits your description of the dream home, don’t rush into the deal. Hold on and think from every possible angle. Look for any loopholes, if it can be compromised, go ahead. Study the property brochure and floor plans thoroughly. Minutely look into the amount details to check for any neglected factors. If everything seems positive move on with the home buying process.

5.Negotiate and close the deal:
When you put in your hard earned money on the property of your choice, negotiating on the final payable amount is essential. Know the best deal possible on the property. Negotiate hard so that at the end of the day, you have your dream home on one hand and a satisfaction of acquiring it for a good price on the other hand.

At every step of home buying make sure to consciously take proper decisions. In case your overlook or ignore even the smallest of the things, consequences could be disastrous.

A virtual walkthrough of the proposal has been put forth by the students of CEPT University. This video gives us an insight of the modernized railway stations with ultra modern facilities which are yet to receive approval from the government. It will give you a glimpse of technological breakthrough in India, specifically, in Gujarat. This state-of-the-art railway station will be a feather in the cap once it becomes a reality.

This new system will be helpful for those who haven’t yet received a physical copy for the same. If you still haven’t received your property tax bill statement then just Type NI <your property number> on your cell phone and send it to 9225592255.You will receive an SMS of the amount due and discount details as soon as you send the SMS to the given number.

1.The first thing to decide is what sort of art work you need to have like if the interiors and furniture pieces are ultra modern then it is advisable to have modern piece of art work while traditional art work goes well with antique furniture style in the room.

2.If the furniture and other items in the room are very simple then choose a simple frame for the selected art work instead of going out of the way as it may not look attractive.

3.It is also important to keep in mind the frames of doors and windows while deciding the frames of your art work as it should be in harmony with them.

4.For a small wall a heavy frame will take the charm away. Thus the dimensions of framing of art work must be in accordance with the size of room as well as the wall.

5.One important thing here is that if you have more than one painting or art works to be hanged on a wall then all the frames must be of same shape, style and color to create visual synchronization.

6.While deciding the color of the frame of paintings or art work there can be two options. One is to go with the shade of the room and the other is to go with a contrast or complementing color frame. Both have their advantages as well as disadvantages. Same color frames will mix well with the decoration of the room while a contrast shade can give a stand out look to the room and will catch the attention easily.

7.If you are choosing a series of art work then keep in mind the theme and hang them in order.

8.If you want to add some new art work to an already placed work then the style, framing and color of the old art work must be considered to look elegant. The new frame must complement or synchronize the old one to give uniformity and the desired results.

9.If the room is too lighted naturally or artificially the section of frames must be dark or dull to give an outstanding look to the interiors. For a darker space a glossy frame can be ideal as that will reflect light and highlight the art work.

10.It may look too crowded if you put art pieces on all walls or many pieces on one wall. Keep in mind the dimensions of wall and room while using wall paintings or art works. If your art work is very specific and of good size then it is better to keep the remaining wall free of any hangings.

11.Neatly placed, uniformity in frame color, style, size and theme of art work definitely give your room an extra ordinary desired appearance.

12.Nowadays you have many choices in frames and art work in the market but selecting the best one is not important but selecting the best suited to your room is important. It is not necessary that expensive art work and frames can enhance the beauty of your room but a carefully selected simple frame and art work is equally competent to give that outstanding effect to your interiors. Durability of frames must be checked before purchasing as the expensive art work life depends on the frames.

If you are hiring a full time residential maid then follow these tips:

1.  It is important to check the background of the servant before employing him or her.

2.  Police verification is recommended to know if there is any criminal record of the person in the past. One should also register all the details and personal information of the servant with police.

3.  Before hiring one must enquire about his or her health condition to prevent any disease to spread among family members.

4.  If you are hiring a servant who belongs to some remote location then it is important to enquire his/her family details and necessary information of past jobs and behavioral issues if any.

5.  Talk to the people who have hired him/her before to get the feedback of the person you are employing as a servant.

6.  Be informed about the people your domestic servant interacts with in and outside your home so that you can have an idea what is going on in your servants mind.

7.  Do not talk openly or in front of your servant about your wealth, cash, jewelry, family matters or other plans as it may prove risky for you and your family members.

8.   If you have hired the maid for child care then it is more important to be totally vigilant and alert. You can install cameras to keep an eye on the behavior of your maid with child. Make changes in schedule and without notice come home early sometimes to make a surprise visit and check the situation at home.

9.  If your child complains something (if able to talk) or behaves abnormally (if an infant) then look into the matter carefully instead of ignoring the situation.

10. Do not leave your servant at home alone while you and your family are on vacations. Instead send him or her to his home for a break.

11. Keep your belongings safe and don’t let your servant know about it as greed can take over a faithful servant to become robber.

12.    It is advisable to be alert and never leave your servant unsupervised as he or she may take the advantage of the situation any time.

13.    Don’t be too harsh with your domestic help as it may provoke them to take revenge. That is why communicate with him/her and should try to maintain a smooth relationship.

14.    If you give cash to bring stuff to your servant then take record of money spent.

15.    Avoid full dependency on your domestic help for everything. Do not give him/her full access to every part of your home.

In order to make things right just be a little cautious and believe me you can avoid an unpleasant happening in your home by your domestic help.
