This Diwali, flaunt your individualistic style

This Diwali, flaunt your individualistic style to make your home your haven. Team IAnD speaks to select design doyens to tell you how…

Are you deluged with ideas for the festive season; but most seem far-fetched or a little cumbersome to accomplish?! Well, here is a handy round-up of absolutely do-able stuff that will complement your personal aesthetics as well as your pocket!

 

Team IAnD sought the counsel of five designers, who’ve always exhibited an unrestrained style in all they do. Here are their expert inputs for you:

Shabnam Gupta of The Orangelane (known for turning quirk to flamboyance) says: A great way to enhance your abode this festive season is to start with the entryway. Adorning your door with some antique lamp or fun lampshade will instantly brighten up your space. Placing potted ferns, flowers and potpourri can also make a difference; or just adorn a pretty vase complementing it with aromatic candles.

Speaking of candles, designers Raseel Gujral of Casa Pop (known for her uninhibited décor style) and Prashant Chauhan of Zero9 (known for his classic sensitivity in stylising spaces) also recommend the inclusion of lots of candles around the home; some creatively carved to add intrigue and a touch of glamour!

Looking around your home, says Shabnam, rearrange the furniture, if you can. This itself will bring about a sea-change. Dig into stuff packed away and consider hanging the old kilim on the wall – simple; yet totally dramatic – this will add an inviting appeal to your living room or even bedroom.

Or if rearranging is not the option for you, says Nina Puri of Sanjay Puri Architects (known for her chic, understated balance in interiors), try draping an old dupatta or stole on one end of the sofa or even the bed; gives the room a new appeal. You can also throw in some colourful covers on your cushions and add to their numbers to create an inviting warmth in the interior; or even add in lots of indoor plants, pipes in Prashant Chauhan.

Accessorising is an all-important part of your décor and especially with the festive fervour, designer Priyanka P of PS Design (known for her remarkable touch of glamour to everyday settings), suggests that you go seasonal by taking a large urli and filling it with water and marigolds or even rose petals. Placed at the entrance, this is the warmest welcome you could essay for your guests. Also, she continues, try framing an old picture – maybe from your travels – in a large format, and use it add to a dramatic effect to the room.

Group accessories in an eclectic way, suggests Nina Puri; they can be combined to effect a narrative and create a pocket of interest in your décor.

Above all, preserve your individuality, when you are exploring latest trends and picking new designs to decorate your interiors, advises Raseel Gujral. Opt to uplift the mood of your interiors by making the space more lived in and young, rather than overstatedly decorated with too many loud pieces. Add life and vigour to your space with casually strewn cushions, creatively carved candles, decorative pieces drenched in pastels and bright colours and a lot of florals, she continues.  This Diwali, flaunt your individualistic style

Identify designs that allow you to channel your energy towards happiness. The simplicity of a breathable space is also often the pathway to establish peace in your home décor. Avoid adding too much noise to open spaces by incorporating too many elements to it. Choose to accentuate the minimalist taste with standout sculptures, intricately designed chandeliers and trunks, elegant jewellery boxes, glass crafts and lamps, concludes Raseel.

Our special thank-you to designer Nina Puri for having tailored this bespoke idea – exclusively for you – the readers of India Art n Design (dot) com.

Here’s the simply beautiful DIY that can uplift and add a spark to any décor: Take some differently sized glasses – any glasses – and turn them upside down. Below the glasses, feel free to add some bits of coloured paper, rose petals, confetti, coloured baubles…Now place your T-lights on

LED cooling technology and cooling materials

LED cooling technology and cooling materials

Heat dissipation is a major factor affecting the intensity of LED lighting. Heat sink can solve the problem of heat dissipation of low illumination LED lamps. A heat sink can not solve the 75W or 100W LED lighting cooling problem.
In order to achieve the desired illumination intensity, active cooling technology must be used to solve the heat released by the LED lamp assembly. Some active cooling solutions such as fan life are not high for LED lamps. In order to provide a practical active cooling solution for high brightness LED lamps, the heat dissipation technology must be low energy consumption; and can be applied to small lamps; its life is similar to or higher than the light source.

Cooling method

Generally speaking, in accordance with the way from the radiator to take away the heat, the radiator can be divided into active cooling and passive cooling. The so-called passive heat, is through the heat sink heat source LED light source naturally distributed to the air, the cooling effect is proportional to the size of the heat sink, but because it is naturally distributed heat, the effect of course greatly reduced, often used in those space No demand for the equipment, or for the heat of the parts of the heat dissipation, such as some popular motherboard in the North Bridge also take a passive cooling, the vast majority of take the initiative to heat, active cooling is through the fan and other cooling equipment forced The heat will be sent out of the heat sink, which is characterized by high thermal efficiency, and equipment, small size.

Active cooling, subdivided from the way heat can be divided into air-cooled heat, cooling heat, heat pipe cooling, semiconductor refrigeration, chemical refrigeration and so on. LED cooling technology and cooling materials

Air-cooled air cooling is the most common way of cooling, in comparison, is also cheaper way. Air cooling is essentially a fan that takes away the heat absorbed by the radiator. With the price is relatively low, easy installation and so on. But the environmental dependence is relatively high, such as the temperature rise and overclocking its thermal performance will be greatly affected.

Liquid cool

Liquid cooling heat is driven by the liquid in the pump driven by the heat to take away the radiator, compared with the air-cooled, with a quiet, cooling stability, the advantages of small dependence on the environment and so on. The price of liquid cooling is relatively high, and the installation is also relatively cumbersome. At the same time as installed in accordance with the instructions to install the instructions in order to get the best cooling effect. For cost and ease of use considerations, liquid cooling heat is usually used as a heat-conducting liquid, so liquid-cooled radiators are often referred to as water-cooled radiators.

Heat pipe

The heat pipe is a kind of heat transfer element which makes full use of the heat conduction principle and the rapid heat transfer property of the refrigerant. It conveys heat by evaporation and condensation of the liquid in the fully enclosed vacuum tube, has extremely high thermal conductivity, good isothermal The heat transfer area on both sides of the hot and cold can be arbitrarily changed, can be a long distance heat transfer, can control the temperature and a series of advantages, and heat pipe composed of heat exchanger with high heat transfer efficiency, compact structure, advantage. Its thermal conductivity has far exceeded the thermal conductivity of any known metal. LED cooling technology and cooling materials
