When designing a home from scratch, it is imperative to go with a long-lasting approach to resist the test of time. Some of the aspects that must be considered are the quality of the resources used, the general project, and the locality of the project. Even if it is tempting to track, implement modern trends, there is a need to exercise caution. Some designs easily become out-dated. Even more, it is also essential to make the most of the interior space and to create allowances for future growth.

Customization is a second important aspect. Instead of going for ready-made furniture that take up too much space, having customized beds and couches with customized storage areas will not only save quite a large space, but improves the flexibility. Creating additional storage, as much as the circumstances allow will certainly increase the overall value of the property.

The choice of colour is another is personal choice, especially if there is a plan to change the appearance of property in the future. Generally, bold colours attract too much attention, but neutral colours have positive appeal to every one of us.

Nowadays, homes with neutral paint colours have relatively higher resale value. Because of the space limitations, one of the greatest challenges for home designers is to provide resolutions for studio apartments and units where the sleeping and living areas are very much intertwined. Since the space is already too small for the addition of more walls, designers face the challenge of creating additional private space, without forgetting to leave an area for relaxation and guests. In order to afford this combination of space that is comfortable and functional at the same time, home designers face the challenge of picking creative elements and fittings that allows the residents to enjoy and work in the given the overlapping space.

At the end, one of the most requested features in modern homes is the utilization of natural light. A home that abounds with natural lighting generally appears as more attractive and appears better than the others do.

Lastly, modern homes that are located in the busiest urban areas can still be transformed into havens of comfort, quiet and relaxation with a few interior modifications that allow for the maintenance of a sustainable indoor garden. In the hands of a competent interior decorator, outdoor areas with healthy greenery can also be blended seamlessly with the interior of the home.

HEAT

As with most sticky material, heating up the surface will help you to remove the decal much easier. If working on a vehicle, you can place it in the sun for a bit which should be enough to help get the process going. Many installers choose to use hairdryers or heat guns and these are an easier option if working indoors. Just be sure not to get the material too hot with the heat gun as you don’t want the vinyl melting. Always work in sections, heating up the entire surface at once will be a waste of time due to the fact that once you get to the next section, it will have already cooled down.

Scrape

Once you’ve applied the heat, you should be to begin scrapping back the vinyl. For this part I use a plastic razor blade or credit card. DO NOT USE METAL! This will only cause damage to whatever surface your decal is on (particularly vehicles). You don’t need to scrape the entire decal back, just enough to be able to get a good grip on it when peeling off.

Peel

Once you’ve got your edges peeled up, you can begin peeling the material back. You want to do this SLOWLY, fast motions will likely cause the material to rip or leave excess glue behind. I also suggest you do this at about a 120 degree angle again to avoid ripping and this helps to ensure you’ll remove the whole decal at once.

REMOVE THE GOO

Once you’re done removing the decal you’ll probably notice a nice dirty/sticky outline of where your decal was. There are a variety of different products you can use to remove this but I am a fan of goo be gone. Be sure to read the back of the bottle before use to make sure it will not cause any damage or discoloration to whatever surface you are working on before you start. I apply the liquid with a terry cloth as it is tougher and will work better to remove any tough grime. You may need to wipe the surface down a few times but in the end you should have a nice and clean surface ready for your next decal project!
