43個你一定會愛得不得了的室內設計點子

有許多方法來衡量什麼是在家居設計流行。銷售家具和流行的建築風格可以是一個很好的指標,並調查可以找出各種主流的口味。但是,當人們想太多沙發購買或調查問題的回應,種種因素可能會影響他們。也許他們認為什麼是他們之間的同行或在媒體上流行的,還是讓預算約束揮灑自己的答案。

當有人節省Houzz照片到ideabook,不過,我想一個更純淨的動作發生。瀏覽照片,然後點擊保存是一個快速射擊腸道回應一個簡單的問題:我喜歡我所看到的?所以一個已經保存到ideabooks數以萬計的照片變成一個什麼樣的直覺流行的一個有趣的指標。

考慮到這一點,我們放在一起,在2013上載的25個最流行 ​​的照片的空間跨越所有類型和房間:廚房,茶水間,衛生間,臥室,外牆,廁等。其中一個抓住你的注意力最?

腎臟是人的身體之本,如果腎虛或是腎臟不健康會引起身體很多的問題的,同時可能會讓人早衰,很多人都在不斷尋找最佳的補腎方法,向大家推薦幾個道家流傳千年的養腎方法。

一:呼吸心法

功法動作:直立,兩腳分開與肩寬,雙臂上舉伸直,在腦後交叉,此時小腹略向前傾,雙手盡量向上伸直后壓,所有力量、意念集中在腰椎。然後力量從腰椎發出, 令兩臂以最大弧度從腦後向身體兩側壓下來,同時下蹲,兩手最後在兩膝間交叉,結束時意念集中在前腳掌5秒鐘。腳後跟不可離地。再站起時,前腳掌先用力,做 為起動能量,緊接著將所有力量、意念,再次集中在腰椎,兩腿不要用一點力量,向起站立。兩手一直交叉,從胸前到頭頂在到腦後。
呼吸方法:身體下蹲的整個過程,呼氣。身體向上站起的整個過程,吸氣。在呼吸轉接時,略屏息兩秒鐘。練習時間應根據個人體質,以不覺疲勞為宜。練后,很多人會覺腰酸,需要用兩手攥空拳,輕輕捶打后腰。

二:引火歸源法

點按湧泉即點按足心。每晚臨睡前,用溫水將腳洗凈,盤膝坐于床上,一手握住腳趾,另一手點足心,每次點下去的時候要隱隱的疼。湧泉是足少陰腎經穴位,摩擦 此穴,可以補腎益精,通調氣血,腎氣充足,則體健壽延。最重要的能把平時節省下來的「錢」腎精存到銀行里。換句話說就是固腎。

三:吃芝麻

道家養生是從養腎開始的。腎主水,其色黑,黑芝麻是黑色的,養腎的佳品莫過於黑芝麻。芝麻有黑的,有黃的,還有白的,但與腎的本色相應的黑芝麻,才有更好 的藥用價值和養生之功,黃芝麻和白芝麻都只能用來做一般的食品。黑芝麻為五穀之首,可以補五臟,長肌肉,填腦髓,在《神農本草經》中列為上品。
因為它是用來補虛羸,填腦髓的,所以,一定要用籽粒飽滿的芝麻,如果它本身都不飽滿,哪能指望它有填補之功呢?要把不飽滿的芝麻去掉,可用淘洗法:在用水 淘洗的時候,不能浮起來的芝麻,都是飽滿的,浮起來的芝麻都是變質、生蟲或籽粒不飽滿的,都不能要。選出了籽粒飽滿的純黑芝麻后,還要對它進行特製,服用 也很講究。

四:心腎相交法

此法不僅強補腎精,通治一切耳病。心腎相交法的第一種叫做鳴天鼓。我們的後腦勺就叫做天鼓。鳴天鼓要用到我們的聽聞穴和勞宮穴。人體的勞宮穴是最操勞的一 個穴位,它是一個火穴,像我們肚子疼了,馬上就不自覺地用手去捂肚子,所以它是很操勞的。第二種叫做按摩聽聞穴。中指的指尖是心包經的井穴,屬於心,耳 朵、眼屬於腎。首先,掌心向後,然後用中指插進耳朵孔里去,塞進去以後,手指在裏面轉180度,讓掌心向前,然後讓手指輕輕地在裡邊蠕動。第三個心腎相交 的方法叫做手心搓腳心。千萬不要小瞧了這個方法,這裏面融匯了很深的中醫道理。最後一個心腎相交法是揉耳法,把耳朵給蓋上,然後用掌根揉耳朵背。但要注 意,不是揉耳背這個皮,而是隔著耳背揉耳朵眼。揉的時候腦子裡要這樣想,好像隔著耳背已經揉到耳朵眼裡面去了。

五:上廁所時不可說話

中醫養生認為,上廁所大小便的時候,一定要咬牙,咬牙能固攝住腎氣,尤其是在腎精上損害偏大的男人。這是為什麼呢?因為牙為腎之齒,是腎精華的外現。但不 能亂咬牙,死咬著不放更耗腎氣;而應該是「腎齒兩枚如咬」,「如」就是好像的意思,就是好像有兩個棗核在兩個后槽牙之間,微微地咬著。解手的時候處於一個 吸氣、氣往裡收的狀態,是不開泄的。咬牙,並且提起腳後跟,就等於補了腎氣。

六:提肛術

處於安靜狀態下,全身放鬆,用順腹式呼吸法(即吸氣時腹部隆起,呼氣時腹部收縮),並在呼氣時稍用力收縮前陰和肛門,吸氣時放鬆,重複10次。

七:叩齒法

齒是骨之餘,是骨頭的餘氣,而腎又主骨。當人到了一定歲數,腎氣就會逐漸衰弱,牙齒也會鬆動。對這種情況,我們可以反過來想,如果牙齒很堅固,那麼是不是 腎氣就會很足呢?如果暫時不方便調理腎,那麼我們可以先堅固牙齒。牙齒里的經絡和腎經是相通的,只要堅固牙齒,它就可以對腎起一個反固的作用,就可以讓腎 強壯。要知道,人不可能牙齒很強壯而腎很虛弱,這是絕不可能的,因為它們是同步的。所以,如果我們不便直接地去調養腎,那麼就健壯牙齒,這是最好的補腎養 生方法。
健壯牙齒的好方法就是多叩齒,早上300下,用上下兩排兩個牙齒撞擊就行了,就這麼簡單。注意:撞擊的地方主要是後面的槽牙,不要讓前面的牙先叩。當您連 敲幾天後,會覺得面色非常紅潤,原來蠟黃、比較發暗的臉色已經不見了。這就是氣血源源不斷地供到頭上去了,而且腸胃功能也會很明顯地得到改善,吃飯、睡覺 都會特別香。

八:吞津法

口腔中的唾液分為兩部分:清稀的為涎,由脾所主;稠厚的為唾,由腎所主。我們可以做一個實驗,口裡一有唾液就把它吐出來,不到一天時間,就會感到腰部酸軟,身體疲勞。這反過來證明,吞咽津液可以滋養腎精,起到保腎作用。

九:避免勞累,節房事

體力勞動過重會傷氣、腦力勞動過重會傷血、房勞過度會傷精。因此一定要量力而行,勞作有度,房事有節。這樣才有助於養腎護腎精。

十:睡眠養腎

充足的睡眠對於氣血的生化、腎精的保養起著重要作用。臨床發現,許多腎功能衰竭的患者有過分熬夜、過度疲勞、睡眠不足的經歷。因此,不要過度熬夜,養成良好的作息習慣,早睡早起,有利於腎精的養護。──轉自「新唐人電視台」

從入門盆栽開始 輕鬆擁有雅致花園

編譯/陳柚滋
如果居家環境中有陽台或是小花圃,你就有一個現成的地方,可以打造成屬於自己的小花園。不需要擔心自己沒有綠手指,只要家裡有這樣的空間可以好好利用,你一定也能種出各種美觀的盆栽,帶給家人和自己好心情。有些盆栽植物也可拿來料理,一舉數得喔!
下面介紹8種初學者容易培植的植物,讓您輕鬆的讓自家的陽台煥然一新。
鳳仙花
鳳仙花栽種容易且有多種顏色可以選擇,所以很受大家歡迎,只要備妥鬆軟的土壤就可以栽種。在鳳仙花的生長期可以施肥,使其葉子、花苞會較厚實飽滿,每天澆水一次就足夠,冬天的話一個星期澆水2~3次即可。
秋海棠
秋海棠適合生長在熱帶或亞熱帶國家,常見的顏色為白色、朱紅及粉色,因為秋海棠喜歡溫暖的環境,所以若有充足的日照,可四季都開花。除了花朵的顏色豐富之外,葉色也有深淺之分,多彩的顏色及種植方便是人們喜愛栽種秋海棠的原因。
金盞花
金盞花又名金盞菊,花色呈金黃色或橙色,株高約為20~50公分,需要日照充足的栽培環境,適合在春秋的季節播種。因為花朵的顏色如陽光般的璀璨,讓人有提振精神的感覺,所以很適合在陽台栽種觀賞,也因為與黃金的顏色相近,也帶有吉祥的意味。
除此之外,金盞花也具有食用及治療的作用,像是葉子可以當作沙拉的材料,花瓣可以拿來煮湯或是燉煮,增添風味。如果把花瓣或葉子浸泡在溫和油脂中做成的浸泡油,可用來治療皮膚的創傷。
仙人掌
如果對盆栽的種植沒有信心,可以選擇最易入門的仙人掌開始居家美化。仙人掌為沙漠植物,所以會比一般植物耐旱,須放置在通風且日照充足的地方,除此之外,澆水的頻率約1週一次,冬天為休眠期,約2週澆水一次即可。要注意是晴朗的天氣才可澆水,以避免根部因太過溼潤而腐爛。
甜菜根
甜菜根的外表呈鮮紅色,富含維他命B12及鐵質等成分,有相當高的營養價值,整株皆可食用。在種植上也不難,對土壤的要求不高且環境的適應力很強,也不會有蟲害,是容易種植的根莖類蔬菜,只要適時澆水及施有機肥即可。一開始可先買植株回家種植,等上手之後就可直接購買種子回家播種。買回來的種子可先跟溼的有機培養土一起放入袋中,並置冰箱冷藏1~2天,當種子吸飽營養後再放入土壤種植,會長得比較快。
萵苣
萵苣的種類繁多,葉萵苣較結球萵苣容易栽培,而且生長期短,全年皆可種植。萵苣喜歡涼爽的氣候,以春秋季栽種為佳。此外,因萵苣吃水很重,發現土乾了就需大量澆水,如果要讓葉片肥大一點,可在種植後2週施肥一次。如果是直接購買植種子的話,最好先種在培養盆裡,等發芽之後再移植至花盆,這樣成功率會比較高。
迷迭香、薄荷等香草植物
香草植物不僅可以增加庭園的豐富性,因為其特殊的香味可增添料理的風味,再加上照顧簡單又低蟲害,所以深受大家喜愛。原則上只要把握土乾澆水、日照充足且通風,就可以生長的很好。在澆水上需溼透至根部,看見盆底有水流出就停止,不可積水。如果夏季溫度太高,可移至陰涼處。
辣椒
除了香草植物外,也可種植具有辛辣味的辣椒。辣椒在種植上相當簡單,適合生長在溫暖乾燥的環境,最佳的播種季節為春天至秋天,對日照的要求不高,維持水分但不積水為原則。辣椒樹開花後,記得「人工」授粉,如此才能開花結果。採收完之後可施液肥補充營養。當辣椒的產量越來越多時,可放置冷凍或製成辣椒粉,以延長保存期限。◇

絕對沒見過的文革題材春宮圖, 對文革紀念入目三分

關於文革題材的繪畫很多,但用春宮畫形式來表現文革的,卻不多見。畫家郜科的作品具有章回小說插圖加民間艷俗風格,他創作這樣一組作品,意圖用自己的方式來喚醒人們對文革的反省。以下是郜科的創作意圖:文化大革命是人類文明史上罕見的浩劫。該運動是非意識形態的,而是一場權力鬥爭。隨着時間的推移,主流當權者利用集體沉默順勢造成集體失憶。著名作家巴金曾倡議建立文革博物館以警示後人,陝西著名作家賈平凹最近也以文革為背景寫長篇小說,其目的是讓後人不能忘記文革對文明、人性的破壞。我選擇春宮繪畫形式記錄當時的造反派、紅衛兵、工、農、軍、宣隊,也算是風俗紙上博物館。

郜科,別名告可。中國美術家協會會員、國家一級美術師、金陵畫院副院長。現任江蘇作家協會創作中心副主任。中國美術家協會會員,江蘇省漫畫協會主席,江蘇省省直美協理事,全國十屆美展江蘇展區組織委員。圖為郜科作品《閱盡人間春色》。

這24件超酷的收納家具會馬上讓你的居家空間大升級!

Living in a small home can make you creative in a hurry. If there's barely a closet -- let alone a spare room -- organizing your space in an efficient way that still makes you feel at home can be quite a challenge. For many apartment dwellers, there isn't the luxury of separate rooms and each piece of furniture needs to serve multiple uses.
We've already covered some of the best ways to create storage when you're living in a tiny space, and fortunately, there are more and more unique furniture pieces that make small-space living more of a joy than a pain. Things like lightweight objects that are easy to move, a tool that can make anything a table, furniture that has multiple functions, and storage that's a snap to assemble and disassemble make it fun to do more with less -- and will also appeal to the design-obsessed.
Below, see 24 ways to make small-space living way easier without sacrificing great design.
  • 1
    Try bookcases and storage that adjust to fit your stuff.
    Peter van Dijk via Reinier de Jong
    The REK bookcase from Reinier de Jong is perfect for the growing book collection and comes in both child and grown-up sizes.
  • 2
    Make a table out of anything.
    Floyd Leg
    When Kyle Hoff and Alex O'Dell put their project on Kickstarter, they received more than 10 times their goal. The Floyd Leg (really, a set of four legs available in two heights) uses a simple clamp that lets you turn any surface into a table or desk. And you can dismantle it just as easily if you need to free up space or are moving to a new, even smaller apartment.
  • 3
    Choose furnishings with two (or more) uses.
    Ecoystems
    These are actually the same piece of furniture. The BADA from EcoSystems easily transforms from a desk, to a table, to a couch that's the perfect size for a cramped living area. Watch the transformation here.
  • 4
    Will it save you a few inches of space? Get it.
    lumio
    When you're not using the bright Lumio lamp, it can be folded into an elegant-looking book. The multi-function Lumio, designed by Max Gunawan, is portable and rechargeable, can be hung or used flat and can be used indoors and outdoors. Plus, it's mesmerizing.
  • 5
    A divider gives the appearance of separate zones without taking up space.
    Erik Five Gunnerud via Kristine Five Melvær
    Colorful Tint, designed by Kristine Five Melvær, is half art piece, half room divider. If you're putting a living area, kitchen and workspace into one cramped room, a lightweight divider at least gives the appearance of separation.
  • 6
    Create a peaceful nook, no matter how little space you have.
    Freyja Sewell
    One of the frequent problems of city living? Not only are you living in tight quarters, but you're squeezed in with roommates -- or your walls are so thin that it feels like you are. Hush, a felt pod designed by Freyja Sewell, is a solo, cozy retreat perfect for reading, working, sleeping or thinking, even in the midst of a hectic home life.
  • 7
    Store your odds and ends hidden in plain sight.
    Takumi Ota via Naoki Hirakoso
    The many compartments of the sleek Kai Table, designed by Naoki Hirakoso with Takamitsu Kitahara, would be perfect for tucking away small objects that can end up all over the house when you don't have lots of storage.
  • 8
    Actually, almost any piece of furniture should have additional storage.
    Alexander & Pearl
    Alexander & Pearl's Crypto line, which includes an end table, desk, sideboard and coffee table, has even more space to store living room clutter without sacrificing sleek design.
  • 9
    But that doesn't mean your storage needs to be boring.
    Anna Lotova
    Rather than bulky drawers, Anna Lotova's Oxymoron Desk uses a foam interior to store books and office supplies. The lamp and side extender are wedged into the foam and can be moved around as space allows.
  • 10
    If you store things in an interesting way, it won't matter that it's out in the open.
    Studio E.O
    If you don't have a closet, or it's tiny, you might end up stacking overflow clothes on shelves or in bins. (Or, like some of us, leaving them all over the floor.) Designed by Studio E.O, the SINE hanger system is a simple solution, and when clothes are hung neatly in its grooves from its matching hangers, they're almost decorative.
  • 11
    A small house doesn't mean you can't make room for fun.
    Fusion Tables
    Just because you barely have room for a couch doesn't mean you shouldn't have a game room -- Fusion Tables creates sleek dining room tables that transform into pool tables.
  • 12
    Don't have a medicine cabinet? Make your own.
    Outofstock
    With just a hook, this mirror and small storage container become a vanity and medicine cabinet. Designed by Outofstock for Ligne Roset, the playful but functional pieces can be arranged in dozens of ways.
  • 13
    Choose multi-purpose pieces so you can rearrange your space in a snap.
    TJOKEEFE
    The 3:1 Table designed by TJOKEEFE is a set of nesting tables that can be used as a cube or three separate end tables, so when you get bored with your decor you can rearrange your space without buying new furniture.
  • 14
    Make use of vertical space.
    Danny Kuo
    Danny Kuo said it best when describing his Staircase piece: "The most efficient way to build is vertically. ... When it comes to interior design, the same rule can be applied." The lower drawers of this many-doored storage unit act as stairs so you can reach the top.
  • 15
    Don't forget about good design for your pets.
    Torafu
    Torafu Architects might beg that you don't sacrifice design when it comes to your dog. Like much of the other furniture on here, the wanmock (the name combines hammock with wan, Japanese for a dog bark, according to Torafu) is easy to put together and take apart. It's made of interlocking lightweight wood and your own clothing, which your dog will certainly love. (Buy a kit or download a free template to build your own here.)
  • 16
    Get the most out of your bookcases.
    Kristina Lindqvist
    Kristina Lindqvist's Cubious bookcase tricks the eye with its fun geometric design and can also be used as a room divider -- each side has shelves. These aren't yet for sale, but Lindqvist is looking for a manufacturer.
  • 17
    When you're not using it, hide it.
    Resource Furniture
    Resource Furniture's Lollisoft IN is just one of their many beds that fold up into unassuming wall units -- perfect for studios or when your rooms need to have multiple functions.
  • 18
    Use plants to create a relaxing vibe in a small home, but don't waste your table space on them.
    Lammhults
    Plants are great to decorate with. Not only do they look nice, they can also helppurify the air and create a relaxing ambiance. But they don't need to clutter all your horizontal surfaces. Anya Sebton's Add System, designed for Lammhults, is a lightweight storage option that includes room for houseplants -- and storing different kinds of objects altogether is much more unique than separate bookcases, clothing racks and planters.
  • 19
    Never underestimate the power of furniture that folds away.
    Boxetti
    This Boxetti item is like a supercharged Murphy bed: it hides bed and all sorts of storage in one unit. Boxetti has similar units for most rooms of the house, including one with all your living room furniture, one with an office and one that contains a kitchen.
  • 20
    Find a workspace that works for you.
    Joakim Bergström via Minna Magnusson
    Why shouldn't you be able to lay down on your desk? This comfort-focused workspace designed by Minna Magnusson is geared towards the unrooted laptop workers and could also work in different parts of the house.
  • 21
    Small shelves are an easy way to decorate.
    Outofstock
    The simple Bridge shelves are elegant and easy to put together. Designed by Outofstock for Bolia, they can be used for books, tchotchkes or even bathroom toiletries.
  • 22
    Outdoor furniture can have multiple uses, too.
    Lane Venture
    These cushions might be intended for poolside, but they'd work on a balcony, roof or covering a makeshift bench. The Weathermaster Accessory Folding Poolside Chaisefrom Lane Venture is another flexible furnishing, easily moved around and usable as either a lounger or stool.
  • 23
    Make sure large furniture fits your space -- and your doorway.
    Outofstock
    Unlike a huge sectional couch, the Raft Sofa from Outofstock fits into a small space. It's designed to be easily disassembled to squeeze it through narrow door frames and stairways.
  • 24
    Choose a storage system that's easy to reconfigure.
    EcoSystems
    The cutely-named Snug-it shelves from EcoSystems can be built tall or wide, used for display or storage and changed on a whim -- they're easy to put together and take apart.
