Madison, WI (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

Gvardia LLC is raising the ceiling on home improvement convenience with Wallo (http://www.theWallo.com) round ceiling access panels for drywall ceilings and walls. Featuring patent-pending spring-loaded clips and unique round panel design, the first-of-its-kind Wallo makes panel installation — and removal – a snap. Wallos simple, clean, classic round design looks like finished drywall, matching perfectly with a wide variety of decorating styles. Wallo round ceiling/wall access panels are available exclusively through http://www.CeilingAccess.com.

Until now, cumbersome, hard-to-install square-shaped access panels were the only choice for homeowners requiring permanent access to air dampers, plumbing, vents and electrical wiring behind drywall ceilings and walls. Were pleased to introduce Wallo, an innovative and affordable alternative. Wallo solves two key problems with one ingenious design, said Victor Agapov, exclusive distributor of Wallo drywall ceiling access panels.

Previously, there was only one, less-than-ideal way to access mechanical wiring hidden behind ceilings or walls: complex, cumbersome, hard-to-install framed access doors. Wallos round ceiling access panels conveniently overcome this limitation by using spring-loaded clips instead of screws, latches, or fasteners. Now any home improvement project can preserve the finished look of drywall while providing quick and easy access to air dampers, plumbing, vents, electrical wiring, and the like, explains Agapov.

The Wallo label serves as the template for cutting the opening. The Wallo panel is round, so its easy to identify as an access panel rather than another ceiling tile.

With the use of a simple template, tool-free installation can be accomplished in minutes by any do-it-yourselfer (no construction experience needed). Wallos lightweight construction and unique attachment system eliminate the need for framing support, simplifying installation and the expense of hiring outside professionals.

Wallo works in walls or ceilings up to 3/4 thick. It can be painted or wallpapered to blend in with any wall or ceiling d?cor.

Removal is just as convenient. Wallo panels pop right out for easy access to wiring for plumbing, electrical, security systems, telephone, TV, computers, etc.

This latest Gvardia innovation offers another huge advantage in that it can be used virtually anywhere throughout the house, notes Agapov. The innovative yet simple Wallo access panel is designed with versatile functionality in mind. Homeowners dont need barriers to home improvement. They need easy access to building infrastructure such as vent dampers, plumbing and electrical wiring without having to sacrifice the finished look that drywall provides. Thats the true beauty of Wallo. Its functional and finished.

Wallos unique features include:

????Provides permanent access to ductwork air damper controls, electrical junction boxes, etc.
????Satisfies New 2012 Building Codes Requirements.????????
????Does not require framing, screws, latches or fasteners – great for the do-it-yourselfer.
????Spring-loaded clips make installation and removal of the panel a snap.
????Attractive — can be painted or wallpapered to match any existing room d?cor.
????Works in walls or ceilings up to ? thick.
????Products label serves as the template for cutting the opening.
????Panels are currently available in 5 diameter.
????Lightweight ABS plastic is fire retardant.

Chatsworth, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Home decor trends for 2012 are dramatic, colorful and certain to grab attention. The interior design staff at Lamps Plus, the leading online home decor and lighting store, offer the following trend setting looks for 2012 along with suggestions for getting the look in your home by just adding a few key elements. Here are their favorite new trends:

French Market Casual Elegance

First up on the hot list is the French Market look. Inspired by French and Continental European influences, this style places an emphasis on informal simplicity and casual elegance. Designers use authentic flea market or antique finds, from antique side tables to vintage post cards and fabrics. But you dont have to go to a marche aux puces (fancy French for a flea market!) to achieve this look. Notes Lamps Plus Style Illuminated blog writer and designer Michael Murphy, While you can always find time-worn antiques to use, these days you can also find plenty of new designs that feature the worn and weathered look thats key for this style. From pillows to table accents and furniture, there is a wealth of vintage market available.

Here are some designer insider-tricks to achieve the French Market look in your home.

Choose furniture pieces that have classic lines.
Select natural fiber fabrics.
Incorporate organic wood elements.

Global Chic the World Travelled

For those who want to roam the world in search of inspiration, the romance of travel and far-flung destinations is at the heart of the Global Chic look, a contemporary blend of decor that reaches beyond the horizon. The Global Chic look mixes vibrant colors, textured fabrics and global accessories, like table lamps, pillows and fabrics, to create a world traveled exotic mood and collected look. Use exotic materials like faux snake skin along with leathers and ceramics to add texture to a room. Says Lamps Plus designer Marcia Prentice, With global style resources at your finger tips, you can create a world traveled look without having to step outside your door. I like to use ethnic patterns and motifs on decorative pillows and throws to add that world collected look.

Here are a few more key designer elements to add when creating the World Traveled look.

Introduce exotic, colorful patterns on pillows and throws.
Use wood accent tables.
Feature unique ethnic sculptures made from reclaimed wood.

Clarity Contemporary – Less is More

As in past years, clean and contemporary is in. But, notes Michael, Whats different this year is what were calling Clarity Contemporary, which is the use of contemporary accents and furniture that comes in clear glass or other translucent materials. Just one piece of clear furniture or a lighting element will add a crisp, contemporary touch. I love using translucent materials like acrylic, glass or crystal in a room. It creates an environment that looks always looks sleek and modern and up to date. Look for coffee tables, end tables, table lamps or, for a bigger impact, a clear glass chandelier. Accent the clean simplicity of these items with textured accents like inlay ceramics or hand-carved wooden pieces.

To achieve the Clarity Contemporary look consider adding one of the following designer pieces.

A dramatic, clear glass or acrylic ceiling fixture.
Contemporary glass dining tables or side tables.
Glass or crystal table lamps.

These are all visually interesting, colorful and dramatic new looks for the year. Notes Marcia, All three of these home decor trends for 2012 are easy to achieve at home with just a few new pieces or accents. For more inspiration, browse the Lamps Plus Shop By Room picture gallery of interior decorating ideas, or read the Style Illuminated decorating blog for daily posts on trends, celebrity designer interviews and more.

(PRWEB) January 20, 2012

The easy chair MOMENT is the latest result of the collaboration between the internationally renowned designer Khodi Feiz and Offecct.

Khodi Feiz got the original inspiration for MOMENT from old school desks made up of a wooden chair with a table attached on the side, which gave Feiz the idea to give the easy chair a specific function.

The result is MOMENT, an easy chair that supports different types of activities like reading a newspaper, working or having a light meal. The easy chair is made to invite the user to sit down for a moment, to take a break, to work or do something else.

Feiz is inspired by three concepts in his designs: Clarity, Concept, and Context, which is obvious when it comes to the easy chair MOMENT, with its clear design language, strong concept and adaptability to different settings.

The collaboration between Offecct and Khodi Feiz goes back a long time, and Feiz has earlier designed the easy chair Palma, the chair Palma Meeting as well as the accessories in the K-Line series.

The cooperation with Offecct is very rewarding, particularly due to our long-lasting relationship, which means that we as designer and producer understand each other’s nuances and how we work, says Khodi Feiz.

MOMENT will be presented in Offecct’s stand A20:20 at the Stockholm Furniture Fair between February 7 and February 11 2012.

About Khodi Feiz

Khodi Feiz was born in Iran and has a degree in industrial design from the Syracuse University in the USA. In 1990 Khodi Feiz moved to Holland and started to work for Philips Design until 1998, when he founded his own design bureau together with his wife, Anneko Feiz van Dorssen. The company is based in Amsterdam and works primarily with product and furniture design as well as graphic and strategic design.

Khodi Feiz has been awarded several awards like the Good Design Award, the Red Dot Award, the Accenture Innovation Award and the Game of the Year Award, to mention a few.

About OFFECCT

Offecct was founded in 1990 by CEO Kurt Tingdal and Design Manager Anders Englund, and is situated in Tibro, Sweden. Offecct has 42 people employed with sales of SEK 115 million. More than 50% of the sales are made up of exports to 55 countries.

Offecct has grown rapidly to become a major furniture manufacturer with high design ambitions, which is particularly evident in the many international design awards that Offecct has received over the years. Offecct believes that qualitative, innovative and sustainable design creates interiors that have a positive impact on people – in meetings, at home and at work. Offecct works closely with some of the world’s most renowned designers.

Offecct also believes that Corporate Social Sustainability (CSR) is as important as quality and design, which is evident in the choice of materials, energy, transportation and logistics. Many of Offecct?s products have been approved by the Nordic ecolabel, and Offecct is also certified in accordance with ISO 9001 (quality) as well as ISO 14001 (environmental).

Several public spaces all over the world have been furnished with objects from Offecct. A few examples are the offices of Skype and the Swedish Association of Architects as well as Nobis Hotel in Stockholm; MoMA and the MTV studio in New York, Microsoft in Hong Kong, Philips in Istanbul, MoMA (The Museum of Modern Art) in New York; Schiphol in Holland, Statoil in Norway, and BMW in Belgium.
