Office workers spend a considerable amount of time indoors during sunny hours. As a result, indoor sunlight is gaining importance because sunlight can boost wellbeing and health. Why is this so important? This is because healthy employees are more productive. Learn more about the benefits of indoor sunlight below.

Why is the Sun Important?

Sunlight makes people feel better and is a natural way for humans to experience their daily lives. Many studies have shown that sunlight impacts sleep patterns because it changes melatonin and cortisol levels which can affect sleep behaviour. Sunlight also contains vitamin D which is essential to every human body, and, it can not be increased through diet alone.

Adding Sunlight to Buildings

Harnessing the healthy natural light from outside of buildings is now a modern reality. Also, natural sunlight can be installed without any electricity and penetrates deeply into buildings. Better use of sunlight means better health and improved overall productivity.

Adding more sunlight to buildings will become increasingly important. This is because people spend more time indoors. Luckily, technology has resulted in better use of sunlight. The result is that indoor work is a much healthier and productive activity.

Decor inspo from unsual places https://interhouse-eg.com/decor-inspo-from-unsual-places/ Sun, 27 Jan 2019 12:59:36 +0000 https://interhouse-eg.com/?p=30 [Read more...]]]> Are you tired of the same old decor inspo sources? It may sound obvious but shouldn’t inspiration be… well, inspiring? Here are some bold new sources of inspiration for your living space.

Cinema

The movies are a great source of decor ideas. From retro cinema decor (every home needs a popcorn machine, right?) to the aesthetic of films themselves, movies are a goldmine of design ideas. Of course, there’s the interior sets themselves — but why not go further and look to the overall aesthetic of iconic films for your decorating ideas? A room based on a sci-fi masterwork or a thrilling fantasy would be a real break from the norm.

TV

Forget bland sitcom sets — today’s TV offers up decor concepts that are a treat for the eyes. Once you start diving into the decor in your favourite shows, you’ll be so entranced you lose track of the actual story. From the surreal interiors of “The Good Place” to the high-class elegance of “The Good Wife”, you’ll find plenty to draw on. Even if you don’t like comics much, “Gotham” should be watched by anyone with an eye for design — some of the interors used in the show are incredible.

Video Games/online gaming

The lavish eye-candy offered by today’s games is a rich source of aesthetic inspo. From simple, colourful gem-matching puzzles to outlandish fantasy realms, today’s games really do have something to engage everyone’s inner designer. One option is games with a vaguely historical reference, such as a pirate-themed game with lots of opulent colour and golden treasures to find. Alternatively, why not give a Viking-themed game a spin? Fantasy Vikings probably don’t owe much to their historic counterparts but they certainly look cool, and can provide great inspiration for a rustic and historical home decor.

Build a Home Poker Table https://interhouse-eg.com/build-a-home-poker-table/ Fri, 28 Dec 2018 15:13:45 +0000 https://interhouse-eg.com/?p=26 [Read more...]]]> Online poker is big business and can be a fun and profitable way to spend your time. Because getting online is so easy these days many people play poker solely over the net and as such are missing out on the many benefits of live play. We will take a look at some of these in this article as well as provide some pointers on how you can set up and host fun poker sessions at home with your friends.

The Set Up

The first thing to do is choose the right location at home that is going to provide the privacy and ambiance needed to play solid games of poker. Once you have decided where then you will need to furnish it with an appropriate table, a good mat, a couple of decks of cards (two minimum), and some good quality chips. Once you have the essentials then it becomes a matter of choosing the extra things to make it special – food, drinks, a good soundtrack, then you will be good to go.

Benefits of Playing at Home

Right off the bat one of the first benefits is that it is a really fun way of passing the time with your friends. Whether you are playing for money or not poker is a fantastic way of bonding and strengthening relationships. Secondly playing at home can also help develop you into a better poker player overall. One way it does this is that it gives you the chance to hone your ability to read people’s body language, analyse different poker psychologies and turn these to your advantage in the future. Playing at home gives you the chance to play for free, so there is no risk to your bankroll, much like a Freeroll Tournament which is a fantastic way as well of improving your poker skills. For more info on Freeroll Tournaments take a look at this article at Review Poker. Playing at home also leads into a number of other benefits such as improving your communication skills, and sharpening your mental faculties as you put all of the different elements of play together to help you win.
