Worktop wood
Wood seduces with its warm side. Gone are the days where it was rustic connotations. Today it fits into any interior, even the most contemporary.

Quartz worktop
Aesthetic worktops quartz but are quite expensive. Compound 92% of quartz and acrylic resin, the material has a better impact strength and heat (up to 200 ° C) that the natural stone.

Kitchen: 3 tips for choosing the work plan
Workplan Leroy Merlin
Leroy Merlin
1 Choose a work in harmony with the decor of the kitchen
In choice of worktop, decorative factor plays a crucial role. The coating dresses will help affirm the style of the kitchen and to transform the overall atmosphere. The material, color, finish you choose will have to fit in with the mood of the room. It may be considered in the same tone as facades or play the contrast. Not to take into account the color of the floor and walls, with which it must fit. For example, white furniture and a black background (or vice versa) will marry perfectly in a design layout.
But many other alliances are possible: a plan with light wood furniture aubergine, a workplan dark granite or laminate speckled with light wood furniture or a plan tiled in natural tones that also runs on credenza in traditional cuisine. Each of the design in relation to its taste and aesthetic result desired.
To bring a touch of whimsy, we can also customize the sharp edges with another shade or working their profile. Or create material effects with the material texture (smooth or textured), as opposed to finishing kitchen furniture. Similarly, thick side, all the choices are allowed (from 12 to 75 mm). In slim version, resin or glass associated with a table flush cooking, it integrates with chic in ultra sleek contemporary kitchens.
2 Controlling the cost of the work plan
To control its budget, it is important to look at it twice before opting for a work plan, the final bill depends on several parameters.
First, for the same material, a work plan tailored could cost double that of a work plan prepared to ask (knockout). Then spending varies widely by type of material. For example, the stratified labor is far more affordable than the worktop glass. Granite or synthetic resins, too, are likely to double the cost of the kitchen.
Finally, it depends on the dimensions of the plan: it makes sense, the larger it is, the more its price rises. That said, a large laminate surface will always come cheaper than a small Corian. Side cutting, better to stay classic. Right plan is cheaper than round!
If tight budget, the best quality / price ratio remains the laminate prepared to ask, right shape.
3 Buy a workplan resistant
If its decorative role is important, the work plan must first be sufficiently tough to withstand bumps, scratches, moisture, heat, grease, temperature changes and maintenance products. Champions of longevity, extra tough, laminated worktops and granite face all without damage. As for the plan to work in wood, it defies time provided they are protected by an oil or varnish. But in this case, caution is necessary: the varnish does not like knife blades.

H & M Home Kitchen Interior : a very pampering winter
For
its press in 2014 fall-winter collections presentation, H & M Home
has invested a spacious glass-roofed workshop near the Pont de l'Alma. A beautiful space, perfect for staging different collections, depending on the parts of the house. Guided photo tour.
My first big crush goes to the master bedroom, with its very attractive bed. I particularly like the accumulation of pillows in the colors, patterns and varied textures. With this mesmerizing blue, shades of gray is emphasized and it's good to see such colors! It changes us pleasantly white and pastel colors ultra-present at this time in the decor. I'm a fan and now aims to create the same result at home.
My second favorite is this living room-with again lots of fancy cushions. The inspiration, according to Evelina Kravaev Soderberg, Head of Design H & M Home, came from English gardens, libraries, worlds full of charm and authenticity. What I also like is the bias to bring color to an often sad season, and do not bend as much to teach the invasion Scandinavian design (which I frankly begins to saturate). We do not necessarily see in the pictures, but there are not as cushions, there are also many items of nice glassware, green in this case for this issue.
Below is a piece of the "kitchen" part. There are many proposed General H & M Home items, paper towels, small storage as the crate steel kitchen cloths ... As a reminder, H & M Home does not offer furniture, just decorative accessories!
You see the plaid on black scale? He has maybe not air, but it is packed with sweetness! To stay in this cocooning spirit, we note the return of the mesh or plaid cushion, timeless!
I talked a little above, glass is very present in this autumn-winter collection. I loved the mud below, for storing utensils.
Side bathroom, animals! We find a lot at H & M Home in dedicated to children and cooking ranges.
Speaking of children, here is an overview of products for the youngest. Linens, pillows, small decorative items, storage, nothing is missing! Special mention to cushion "cat glasses"!
Still cushions, but it must be said that H & M Home in really offers a lot for all styles and budgets! Just look at the dedicated pads on e-shop does not know which one page.
In the cart / rack steel, there are small "wimps" sponge, which are distinct from conventional (and ugly) cloths trade by their colors and messages. I found the original idea and practice!
Back side kitchen interior, where we find a wide selection of tea, but mostly cake servers whose sizes and materials vary. With the approaching holiday season, I think it's to keep in mind for the presentation of desserts!
In the entry, an impressive wooden bookcase had small decorative objects very nice, we do not really tell from my picture ... I can only say that metals are present, copper lead, but also iron . Glassware and cushions (iridescent this time) were not far behind.
For the atmosphere below, we rather share in the Highlands, with colors and materials over "nature." Again, colors, certainly darker, respond more to a room than a Deco style, it seems obvious to me to take over.
In the children's room even if pink is present at H & M Home for Girls, we appreciate this bed linen less girly (not to say "girly").
Before finishing with the last two photos in this pictorial tour: Collections I presented you are already available for some H & M store (corner with Home) and of course the e-shop. The rest should arrive soon.
So what do you think? Will you crack on one or the other of these decorative items?
