Enter the unique color world

Albena began in 1909. Its birth is closely related to the pure and white scenes of the Alps. Imagine a round of red sun rising, and you feel the shock and holiness brought by this snowy mountain. Then your soul Will it also be purified? Albena interior wall paint hopes to restore this white world through the color of its products. As soon as its products were launched, they caused a sensation in Germany and quickly gained the support and love of consumers, and they had 98% brand recognition in the German wall paint consumer and retail market.

From 1909 to the present, Albena has gone through a century of development and transformation, constantly conforming to the trend of the times, and put forward the brand concept of “wall protection like skin care”, for the first time associating wall color with female beauty, and successfully went out of the circle to attract the majority of female consumption The attention of the group! At the same time, relying on the research of European popular colors in the past 50 years, Albena interior wall paint also brings 2088 kinds of environmentally friendly colors, and introduces professional German painting technology and color matching consulting services to let women of different personalities and different ages Consumers find their own exclusive colors and feel the exquisite color world of Albena!

Create a natural and harmonious environment-friendly space

If the color of Albena’s interior wall paint is the external beauty that people seek, then its performance is the inner soul that really attracts consumers. Albena has successively obtained certifications such as the German Blue Angel and German TUV testing in Europe, and has been highly respected in the evaluation of Stiftung Warentest, an independent German evaluation agency, and has obtained the affirmation of excellent quality. Therefore, entering the environmental protection space of Albena will leave you with pure and tasteless feelings!

In addition to the environmental protection attributes of the product, in the context of modern mass production, Albena also puts forward high requirements for resource conservation and environmental pollution, reducing waste by 29% and increasing the production rate of recyclable materials by 25%. At the same time, Albena’s environmental protection concept has also become an important part of the integrated management system IMS. Its production base also passed the DIN EN ISO 14001 international environmental management standard certification in 2003, thus truly achieving harmony and unity with the natural environment.

But that is the effect that can be seen and felt after the renovation process, and before that, this was a 195m² penthouse, completely raw and located in the northwest towards the center of Ho Chi Minh City. How to create an impressive interior space mixed with natural architectural lines into the interior space is the topic that the design team received from the investor. “This is a very interesting and very difficult topic for us” – the design team from APS concept shared. “The apartment is designed with the idea of ​​creating a connection between nature and architecture, with two large glass facades allowing views of the surrounding area. A very remarkable highlight of the living room space is the wall made from black stone that runs high into the atrium, creating the feeling of being next to a majestic cliff. The second impression is the “epoxy metallic” floor that is applied in the apartment. Sharing more details on how to create this floor, the architects said that they started with an all-white epoxy floor, then added more black and silver metals to create a unique and rhythmic flow. “We like the way it flows naturally and flows from the first floor, along the steel stairs down to the entire living space like streams flowing along the cliffs. This special material is never duplicated.” Thus, the white marble effect epoxy floor treated with the emotions of the performers has become smooth and makes the space open and airy. In terms of color, black tone was chosen as the main color, clearly showing the elegance and personality. In harmony with this overall, the Hermès orange furniture creates accents, making the space more lively and eye-catching. The walls using black paint are roughened to bring the desired effects during the day when there is direct sunlight or create depth for the space under the lights at night. The curved stairs and the steps surface details are treated to feel like a flow from the stairs to the lower floor, full of nature inspiration. The old monotonous staircase was replaced with a new curved staircase, completely machined by sheet steel, from the steps to the handrail. This is an appropriate solution to help reduce the traffic to the first floor while creating a soft feeling for the space. Besides, the Hermès color tone is still the highlight for the space and the epoxy flow on the stairs is like a stream overflowing and spreading from above, spreading to the floor in the living room… Thus, the topic of the investor fully resolved – the apartment is an impressive living space that blends natural lines into the interior space. Children’s room with outside view and close-up. The toilet blocks of the apartment.

Even in daily life, if the house space is too messy, it will make homeowners and members feel secret. In particular, your mood will sometimes be even worse on a hot summer day with messy colorful furniture displayed throughout the house. Minimalist furniture makes the space more airy and cool Therefore, reduce unnecessary furniture or cluttered items in the house, leaving only really useful items. The minimalism will make the living space more open, thereby bringing a relaxing and positive mood for you and your family. Change color The colors in the rooms not only increase the aesthetics but also help family members feel comfortable and relax. In the summer, the season of the hot sun, the selection of interior colors and space colors is very important in creating a feeling of coolness and harmony. You can change your house in the summer by using soft neutral colors (white, cream, gray, …) or pastel colors. According to the principle of color, gentle tones when reflected by the sun will somewhat soften the temperature of sunlight. The colors above make the space feel more spacious and airy. If you are afraid to change the paint color, you can completely use wallpaper with a simple top color pattern to change the space. Soft colors are very suitable for the house in summer In terms of interior colors, you can create accents with colors that are still impressive but have a gentle feeling to reduce some of the summer heat, which is blue. Blue color brings optimism, joy as well as helps the space to be more comfortable and cool. Bringing nature into the house One of the most popular summer interior decorating ideas today is the use of green plants. Trees help to regulate the air, bringing a sense of comfort and peace when returning home. You can place small potted plants in the corner of the room to decorate and add vitality and freshness to the house. Wooden furniture brings impressive beauty, close to nature In addition, another way for you to have a living space close to nature is to use furniture with natural materials. Wood has been the most popular design material for many years. Moreover, whether meticulously crafted or rough, wooden furniture still brings impressive beauty to the living space. If you are afraid of the heat of summer and find that sofas, leather and felt furniture are no longer suitable, but are worried that wooden furniture will not be comfortable, then you can refer to these decorating ideas. Summer interior with wooden sofa cushion. They still have comfort, increase luxury without causing heat, cramped. In addition to wooden furniture, you can also use rattan, bamboo furniture … Choosing the right curtains for summer Replace the old winter window blinds with a new set of curtains suitable for the fresh summer. Summer inspiration will spread throughout the living space, even to the sunny windows. A window curtain with white or blue floral motifs, thin and light material, will bring you a space filled with freshness, youth and vitality. Bamboo curtain is both close to nature and good sun block You can also consider using bamboo blinds as a way to add an element of nature to your home while still blocking out the harsh afternoon sun or hot afternoons.

More than 100,000 years ago, the ostrich eggshells and crystals collected by humans in the interior of South Africa revealed the cultural evolution of early humans and demonstrated technological innovations off the coast of South Africa at that time. Pliny the Elder of ancient Rome once said, “Ex Africa semper aliquid novi”-there is always something new in Africa. Wilkins et al[1]An example of this is the report on “Nature” about materials excavated in a rock shed in inland northern South Africa. The objects they found indicate that our current view of the birth of early human cultural innovation has to be changed. In the 1980s, researchers put forward new ideas about the origin of our species-Homo sapiens. These new ideas are based on newly developed technologies, such as optical luminescence dating (OSL), which can accurately date ancient sites as far as 50,000 years (50,000 years is the upper limit of radiocarbon dating). These views are also rooted in the study of genetic diversity. The evidence comes from mitochondria, the organelles that provide energy in cells. Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the maternal line. Some mitochondrial DNA does not code for proteins, and tracking the rate of change of mutations accumulated in this DNA over time can provide a “molecular clock.”A study on existing human mitochondrial DNA concluded that we all have a certain nearest common ancestor, nicknamed “mitochondrial Eve” (mitochondrial Eve), she may be African, living 200,000 years ago[2]. By 1988, researchers were still arguing[3]Whether the question of the origin of modern Homo sapiens has been answered, some people subsequently put forward the theory called “Out of Africa 2”. The theory believes that our direct ancestors evolved in Africa alone, and some of their offspring left the African continent at some time after about 50,000 years ago, distributed across the world, and interbred with ancient humans (close relatives of humans) in Eurasia. Important sites related to modern human fossils in Africa have been re-dated, and innovative technologies have been discovered in some early sites. This shows that about 200,000 years ago or even earlier, Africans belonged to modern humans in anatomical and cultural sense. But usually they mainly rely on stone tools, the same as those made by their ancient human cousins ​​(Neanderthals and Denisovans) in Eurasia at the same time. In sub-Saharan Africa, this technology is considered the Mesolithic Age (MSA). In Eurasia and North Africa, similar types of artifacts belong to the so-called Middle Palaeolithic.Both technologies can be traced back to approximately 300,000 to 30,000 years ago[4].Current evaluations of archaeological, fossil, and genetic data confirm these views[5]It also supports Africa’s outstanding role in the later stages of human evolution. Archaeological evidence shows that signs of modern humans outside of Africa are related to the beginning of the late Paleolithic period (about 50,000 to 40,000 years ago). It is defined as a series of technological innovations: movable art, and eventually cave paintings and carvings; the original non-stone tools (such as bone or horn); the earliest known jewelry; and the occurrence of lifestyle and resource acquisition Evidence of major changes. These evidences that were once regarded as “human revolution” are a qualitative leap in cultural evolution and can only be related to modern people in the true sense. Unsurprisingly, the researchers tried to find similar evidence in sites from the Middle Stone Age and Middle Paleolithic Age in Africa. Now that modern people of anatomical significance have lived there, where is the evidence corresponding to the late Paleolithic period? But throughout Africa, archaeological evidence is fragmentary. There are some late Paleolithic elements, but they sometimes disappear, appear and disappear in one area, and only reappear in other places after thousands of years. Part of the problem is that only a small number of African regions have been studied in detail, mainly at the northern and southern ends of the continent with a temperate climate (Figure 1). Other places that have been investigated in depth are places where researchers have reason to expect to find ancient relics, such as where fossils and stone tools have been exposed due to erosion of the natural landscape. These important locations are located in the Gregory Rift Valley in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania[6]And South Africa’s dolomite limestone caves, the latter is known as the cradle of mankind[7]. But these two areas contain records of the very early stages of human evolution. Mesolithic records are most commonly found in rock sheds and caves. Figure 1 | Some African archaeological sites related to the Mesolithic Age. Certain sites mainly located in coastal areas (cross-hatched) have a long history of excavation, and they help reveal the evolution of early human populations. In contrast, the surveys of the listed inland points are only the past three decades.Research on these inland sites reveals important technological innovations in the Mesolithic Age (MSA) from 300,000 to 30,000 years ago[8-14]. Wilkins et al[1]The report found fragments and crystals of ostrich eggshells (OES) in the rock shed on Ga-Mohana Mountain, which indicates that humans had collected unusual objects at least 105,000 years ago (105 ka). All these findings show that MSA’s innovations are diverse in time and space, and illustrate the necessity of investigating and studying other parts of the African continent. LSA: Late Stone Age; after 40,000 years ago. People have been reluctant to investigate new areas, probably because it is easier to continue working where results have already been produced, and there is no need to go to other places at the risk of nothing. Figure 1 shows that the MSA site is far from the traditional research area that has been surveyed in the past 30 years.The evidence from the excavation work is surprising[8-15], From early ostrich eggshell beads and carved shell containers, to spear-shaped bones and stone tools, and possibly even bows and arrows . However, a single African site has never discovered all the technologies of the late Paleolithic period in Eurasia. In South Africa, researchers mainly learn about MSA through coastal sites, including the Cresses River and Blombos Cave.The builders of these sites used a lot of shellfish and fish[15]. This has led some people to conclude that marine food has played an important role in the evolution of human brain and behavior, and in general terms have resulted in the true modern human population. But what can we know about the inland Africa in the Mesolithic Age? Wilkins and others reported that there were some unexpected discoveries at a site on Ga-Mohana Mountain (Figure 1)-on the edge of the Kalahari Desert 665 kilometers from the coast. Some of these items are presumably used for decoration, and may represent an early ritual symbolic act . The author reports a long list of archaeological discoveries, including a limestone layer called travertine, which was dated using uranium-thorium analysis.In addition, the travertine allowed the author to reconstruct the past environment, showing the existence of multiple wet and lush “green Kalahari” periods, reminiscent of the Sahara[16]And arab[17]There was a period of lush greenery. Wilkins et al. used optical luminescence dating to date some sediments. A sedimentary layer on the Ga-Mohana Mountain is approximately 105,000 years old and contains 42 charred ostrich eggshell fragments and 22 calcite crystals. This may be a material storage warehouse with no signs of deliberate changes to the contents (burning is considered to occur naturally). The author reports that such crystals have never been found in southern African sites over 80,000 years old. Wilkins and colleagues systematically studied all the reasons these objects might be there. After excluding all possible natural explanations, just as forensic researchers exclude other possible situations in their investigations, they only have one conclusion left- People specially collected such non-practical items . Researchers speculate that they were piled up for some symbolic purpose; this is a sign that their collectors are modern humans in the sense of behavior. Are there similar discoveries in other early African sites? In western South Africa, many charred and carved fragments of ostrich eggshells were unearthed in Diepkloof Cave. They are about 60,000 years old.In the Diepkloof cave[8]And Mount Ga-Mohana, These shells may be remnants of ancient water containers, which are common in the ruins of later times.If so, their main role may also be functional rather than symbolic . Given the age of the objects discovered by Wilkins et al., it may not be surprising that the ostrich eggshell was undecorated (as in the Diepkloof cave) or not made into beads. These situations were about 50,000 years ago in Magubike, Tanzania.[9]Rock Shed and Panga ya Saidi[10,11]It just started to appear; Panga ya Saidi is a group of caves located off the coast of Kenya, with artifacts that span about 78,000 years. Wilkins and colleagues said their findings indicate that it is imperative to investigate sites in the interior of southern Africa. In East Africa, I want to say that we have the opposite problem, because archaeologists have almost never investigated coastal sites from the Stone Age. In fact, Panga ya Saidi may be the first East African coastal site ever discovered that contains a time series spanning such a long Stone Age. The Mesolithic residents there made ostrich egg shell beads and snail shell beads, used ochre as a pigment, and collected resources in a forest environment that was completely different from the grassland. (Grassland is assumed to be the norm in the Mesolithic Age). The purpose of the excavation of Panga ya Saidi is to study the trade links of the entire Indian Ocean, and a large number of Stone Age deposits were discovered by accident. Even the Mesolithic inland sites in East Africa-once thought to be well understood-have unexpected gains.For example, at the Olorgesailie site in Kenya[12], People transport stone materials long distances, and use ocher to make pigments.In Katanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, there is a large catfish living in a river, and people nearby made bone forks and other fishing gear[13]To make use of these rich river resources. In the late Stone Age (LSA; after 40,000 years ago), the ability to pierce a fish with a spear was common, but its appearance in the Mesolithic was unexpected. Mumba Cave in Tanzania[14]It is one of the first excavation sites in East Africa focusing on the Mesolithic Age. The excavation was led by Norwegian archaeologist Margit Kohl-Larsen in the 1930s. At the same time, her husband Ludwig was collecting ancient human fossils in Littleley near Lake Eyasi a few kilometers away; later British archaeologist Mary Leakey and colleagues discovered the footprints of ancient humans in Littleley, 3.75 million years ago.They are produced by bipedal individuals and are the oldest ever discovered[18]. Mumba contains Mesolithic sediments, with late Stone Age sediments above it.There is no sign of any technological mutation; innovative technologies existed in the Mesolithic Age, and these technologies hardly changed in the late Stone Age[14]. Wilkins et al. emphasized, It is necessary to conduct a continent-wide examination of the evidence of innovation in the Mesolithic Age and beyond . Only in this way can we understand the cultural evolution of our recent common ancestors.Homo sapiens[5]The fossil record of Africa shows that there does not seem to be any single technological and social development model over time. Investigation and excavation of little-known areas will help clarify what made our direct ancestors become truly modern humans in the biological and cultural sense.

Works designed by designer Thai Cong are often entangled in the controversy of the online community. Recently, designer Quach Thai Cong posted a video about the Spa Apartment project posted on YouTube, with the note: “This project, if anyone is not familiar with the luxurious, splendid and extravagant style, when If you want to open your eyes, watch the movie Spa Apartment.” According to designer Thai Cong, the apartment has an investment of up to 85 billion USD, for small items such as knives, forks, cups, plates and glasses, it costs 350,000 USD (more than 8 billion VND). The apartment has an area of ​​200m2, using many dark colors. Although it is only a design, the audience can partly imagine the appearance of the house after completion. Although the investment is quite large, according to netizens, this project is still not much different from the villas and villas that Thai Cong has designed. There is an opinion that all works of Thai Cong are similar. For example, the same chandelier in two works of Thai Cong. Decor books, flower arrangements have not changed. Netizens also couldn’t help but admire the lavish interior in the apartment. Photo source: Thai Cong TV Video: House of 25m2- opportunity to have a house for many people? Source: VTV24

Kitchen interior details such as microwave handles, refrigerators… made from stainless steel can look shiny and shiny through photos. However, when going into daily use, dirt tends to accumulate very quickly on metal surfaces. It is easy to save stains, grease from the user’s hands. Therefore, it is recommended to choose metal products with matte colors. The pallet bed has a special style and is environmentally friendly, and the price is also quite reasonable. However, untreated pallet wood will be quite porous and an ideal place to store dust, bacteria… In addition, before being recycled to make beds, tables and chairs…, pallet wood may have been contaminated with toxic substances because it is used for many different purposes. Instead of a pallet bed, buy a regular wooden bed at a reasonable price in the market. Clothes racks are a popular interior trend chosen by many families. Shelves can be unsightly, look messy when you have no control over the amount of clothes you have, and it’s not easy to keep the room tidy. Many families choose projectors instead of televisions because they give the feeling that you are watching a movie in a theater. However, the projector needs a large, flat, and bright wall; at the same time you can’t see during the day because of too much light… The kitchen interior is completely black to make the space more luxurious. In fact, black requires special hygiene care. Therefore, you should choose a color with light or neutral tones to be safer. Interior designers often try to arrange furniture in the room in the most convenient way. They use a small sink with a high faucet to create comfort when washing large utensils. However, high faucets can cause water to flow and collect on surrounding surfaces. Rustic brick walls can create accents for the interior but are not necessarily the ideal solution. They have a porous structure, which can contribute to the appearance of mold. Thanks to its structure, the wall becomes a dirt magnet. Use ordinary walls so that you don’t spend a lot of time cleaning and cleaning. Many people love the design trend of installing shelves above the kitchen cabinets. However, the surface accumulates a lot of dust, which makes it take a long time to clean utensils when needed. Image source: Brightside Video: Students rent cheap accommodation in villas.

Glass table is a popular furniture in many families. However, the glass will always exist stains that are not easy to remove. Furthermore, the glasses are very susceptible to scratches and they are especially visible on dark surfaces. To keep the glass table beautiful, you have to clean it 24/7. Long-fiber carpets are prone to dust so they need to be cleaned more often. Animals really love these rugs as well. Not every room needs a door. Doors take up a lot of space, usually an entire corner. Therefore, homeowners should be careful with the doors in the narrow hallway. A cheap alternative can be a curtain or a folding door. The fabric curtain is too long to get dirty quickly, while making small rooms look even smaller. If there are furniture near the windows then they are not a good idea either. White furniture looks great, but over time people realize that this furniture has to be cleaned at all times. Furthermore, the all-white design isn’t as interesting as the multi-color design. The sink next to the window keeps you working and sightseeing, but according to the designers, the splash of water splashing on the windows makes you need to clean it often. Artificial stone sink looks better than conventional stainless steel. However, it requires special cleaning products. You also cannot put heavy objects in it. The standing bath requires a lot of space and has a special design. If you want a standing bath, you will need a curtain that covers the entire tub to prevent water from leaking. With glass shower doors, if not well cleaned, the door can be moldy. Also, the glass will always become cloudy if you do not use special cleaning agents. A tile counter in the bathroom or kitchen is an unusual idea. One way or another, water will collect on the lines and they will turn dark very soon. Therefore, you will also have to clean them regularly. Photo source: Brightside Video: House 25m2- the opportunity to have a house for many people? Source: VTV24

Usually, we usually choose furniture that sells in sets: for example, sofas and armchairs of the same color or TV shelves, drawers and cabinets are of the same style. However, if you add a little creativity and effort, you can completely make your living space fresh and full of life. Instead of choosing predictable details, choose items that are close to each other’s tone, then choose a highlight. That can be a safe and smart solution. 2. Wooden kitchen cabinets Wooden kitchen cabinets are extremely popular and common in homes. If you want to make a breakthrough, today there are many materials and colors of kitchen cabinets for you to choose from to match the interior of the house. A simple way is if you want your home to look modern and new, change the paint color or remodel the kitchen cabinet. 3. Abuse of oak color When designing the interior, people often use oak or oak color on items.

Oak wood in harmony with the partitions or furniture made of walnut and ash … will refresh your home space. 4. Wallpaper pattern The pattern of the wallpaper is outdated. Unless you design the house in your own style, the advice of architects is to use walls with a pattern that is outdated. Go for simplicity by choosing simple paint colors or tile, wood … depending on your preference. 5. Walls covered with pictures and pictures There was a time when wall decoration with pictures of your life and achievements became trendy. Today, however, hanging pictures and large-format photos is the trend. Even many homeowners are creative by hanging large fabrics of silk or brocade material … to decorate the house. Ultimately, the main goal is still to reflect the personal preference of the homeowner, but pay attention to the harmonious decoration and arrangement.

Recently, a number of unfortunate incidents have occurred in apartment buildings. There are cases where children, even adults falling from higher floors, died or were seriously injured. There is an opinion that it may be due to design errors, but all apartment buildings and high-rise buildings must comply with construction standards, including full safety standards for each item, so it is unlikely to happen. out errors. In fact, the cause of the above cases is largely due to the unreasonable arrangement of objects and the interior of the house, leading to an accident in use. Talking about this issue, Mr. Tran Manh Dat, General Director of a company operating in the field of interior design, manufacturing and construction, said: “Usually when designing balcony balustrades in apartments height of about 1.4 m. However, active children can climb over here. Therefore, in a home with young children, it is very necessary to install additional screens to ensure safety ”. The apartment building should install a protective net on the balcony and avoid placing objects, beds close to the window. Photo: NGUYEN CHAU When receiving a house, even though there are no children in the house, the homeowner should still make a net on the balcony rail and the window to make the living process safe. The current way of installing the protective cable still completely ensures the space for the house. For townhouses, it is necessary to pay attention to the handrail of the stairs, if using the form of bars, the distance between the bars is not too large for children to pass through. Architect Huynh Bao Toan, Director of a mobile home supplier, also instructed: “When designing a house, the architect did it correctly according to the regulation of a handrail of about 1.4 m or more. However, some families often put extra items on the balcony, close to the railing such as washing machines, trees, furniture … When someone climbs these objects, it is very easy to fall out. Modern apartment design often has large windows, families should not set tables, beds close to the windows because it is very dangerous, especially for young children. The interior layout should be carefully calculated if the house has children ”. KTS Toan recommends apartment balconies need to attach protective nets. This not only ensures the safety of people in the house, but also minimizes the drop of things or mischievous children throwing objects on the ground, endangering others. “The current types of safety nets and cables do not violate the safety of the apartment’s escape when there is an incident such as fire and explosion, so people can use it with peace of mind. The bed should be placed in the middle of the room, not close to the window, the two sides should have space to move ”- said architect Toan. One of the risks when the house has young children is that the power outlet is too low, and children are easy to play with. Therefore, families with low power outlets need to install additional covers for electrical outlets to ensure safety.
