It is true that this election system is one of the sleepiest that we have experienced in Israel in recent years (and unfortunately, we have experienced neither one nor two of these), but surprisingly it made us look at the spaces of the house and realize that the designed elections mean a lot to our private space.
In contrast to the Knesset elections, when it comes to the private house - we are the only ones who decide, and in general you should take the choice between two options as a tool that will help you be precise.
If you are debating, for example, between parquet flooring and stone flooring, try to look for photographed examples of spaces designed with both options and see in which direction each of the options takes the look.
That's exactly why we prepared five examples for you, and just like in the ballot box - you just have to choose.
Parquet flooring VS stone flooring
Wooden parquet:
Parquet flooring is a warming flooring that creates a homely atmosphere.
It's not for nothing that parquet is considered a space upgrader when you move to a new apartment.

Marble flooring:
natural marble flooring emphasizes the use of tendons and creates an elegant environment.
The natural veins are a decorative element that enhances the look of the space where you choose to integrate the marble.

How will you know which option is more suitable for you?
If it suits you to create a homely atmosphere quickly and get maximum value for your investment, parquet is your choice.
If you are into elegant, dream of Italy and generally like the wild-natural look, go for marble or other natural flooring.
Wooden library VS metal library
A wooden library:
such a library will almost always connect with the rustic look.
The wooden libraries have a full and present appearance, like the parquet - they also contribute to a homely and pleasant atmosphere.

Metal Bookcase:
Metal bookcases usually have a contemporary look.
The cold metal connects the look to the urban style.
Most of the time, these libraries will come with a balancing and warming addition such as leather or wood.

How will you know which option is more suitable for you?
If you are one of those who fantasize about a romantic library with a light fixture that emits a warm, dim light, you are one of the people of wooden libraries.
If the urban and contemporary look feels like your synonym, metal bookcases will be a perfect answer.
Black bathroom VS white bathroom
Black bathroom:
A black bathroom is a dramatic space.
You can take it in an elegant direction or maintain urban restraint - the difference will usually be in the use of materials.
The elegant will often tend to use natural stones and the urban look will use industrialized materials, cleaner in terms of appearance.

White bathroom:
white is probably the most natural connection to the bathroom - it radiates cleanliness and maintains a neat and well-designed appearance.
Pure white may seem too clean, although it is definitely an option to consider.
"Dirty" white with additions of tendons or other elements can enhance the look and still maintain the airy and clean qualities that the shade brings with it.

How will you know which option is more suitable for you?
If you are dramatic people in your soul and darkness is not a bad friend of yours, black will be an accurate choice.
If you are addicted to lavender fragrances and love the clean look, there is no doubt that white will do you good.
With wall covering VS without wall covering
With cladding:
cladding is an element that creates interest and depth.
It is possible to cover a wall with wallpaper, tiles and a host of other dedicated materials such as microtopping to look like bare concrete, decorative painting and more.

Without cladding:
when you choose a wall without cladding, a clean look is created, which is sometimes required to balance a certain look, or in the case that you are looking to keep a simple, quiet line without unnecessary dramas.

How will you know which option is more suitable for you?
If you are interested in emphasizing the wall and turning it into a wall of strength, you should choose an interesting covering.
If on the background of the wall there is an element that you want to emphasize and give it respect, the right choice can be a white wall, without cladding.
That way, the element you want to highlight will attract attention to it.
Wood fireplace VS gas fireplace
Wood-burning fireplace :
This fireplace has a rustic look, usually made of cast iron.
Those who choose it should remember to take care of the supply of logs during the winter season.
It requires manual handling that requires skill, but one that is acquired in a relatively short time.

Gas fireplace:
The gas fireplace is lit by pressing a button on the remote.
Ceramic coals simulate the look of logs turned into whispering coals.
The flames look like they are coming out of the coals, which gives the feeling of an authentic fireplace, except that it is odorless and smokeless, clean to look at and friendly to operate.
The gas fireplace will fit into homes with a minimalist and contemporary look.

How will you know which option is more suitable for you?
If your natural choice is a vehicle with an automatic transmission, you are one of the people of the gas fireplace.
If you like adventures in off-road vehicles and like to mess with the manual transmission, the wood stove is the answer.
