Season 7 of Walking Dead begins soon, so we thought we’d take a critical look at the various vehicles’ used in seasons 1-6 to see whether they would be useful should there really be a zombie apocalypse.

The guide below highlights some of the trucks, cars and RVs, not forgetting the Triumph Bonneville, that have featured in past episodes. Giving you the low-down on each vehicle’s capabilities, or lack of them, to kill menacing zombies or get away from them, the guide takes a look at the pros and cons to see if they are more likely to kill you than the zombies.

Take a look at the guide below to find out which vehicle is top, and which wouldn’t really be very useful, in a zombie apocalyptic scenario.

Throwing a party for children can be stressful and if you know that a child with a hearing loss is coming, your stress levels can easily rise even higher. But there really is no need to worry, children’s parties should always be all inclusive and with a few tweaks and adjustments you’ll never have to concern yourself again.

Take a look at the infographic below, it’s full of brilliant hints and tips that will make your party more inclusive. We’ve suggested popular party games that can be adapted to suit deaf children. Simple things such as using lights in combination with music will allow a deaf child to join in musical bumps, musical statues and pass-the-parcel. Taking away the music altogether and just use lighting will add a new twist to party games and make them even more fun!

Giving children and adults name badges is another way to make your party more inclusive, not only will the badges help the children, they will also help you to remember all the names!

Communication with everyone is the name of the game, so to speak. Talk clearly, use hand gestures and even sign language throughout the party to make everyone feel included. Don’t shy away from a deaf child’s parents, invite them along to help you, an extra pair of hands is always welcome. Ask them if they have any suggestions to make your party an all-inclusive affair.

Read on to see how you can create deaf-friendly games for a children’s party.

The Psychology Of Color On Interior Design

November 29, 2016adminHome Improvement Tips, infographic, Interior DesignDIY projects, infographic, interior design, paintingLeave a comment

When it comes to interior design, colors are not randomly used. Interior designers know how to use colors to create an emotional impact and achieve a desired result. If you want to feel calmer, more comfortable, more cheerful or dramatic, colors are powerful when you want to improve your mood. Even though we respond to colors in similar ways, the psychological effects of a color might not be the same for you as it is for someone else.

When choosing the ideal interior color, there are a few things to take into consideration. The amount of time you will be spending in a room, the look and the feel of the space you’d like to induce are important. You would also want to consider the room position and the time of the day that the sun will enter the room. The size of the room will drive your color choice as well. For example, a room can look bigger with a white color where in contrast, a dark color will make a room look smaller.

Check out our infographic provided by IMI Design and learn more about what each color can do for your room. If you feel like deciding on a color is overwhelming, an interior designer can help you with finding the best color that will make your home express your style and personality.

Carpets: A Source of Pollution in Our Homes?

November 2, 2016adminHome Maintenance, infographicDIY projects, health, home maintenance, infographicLeave a comment

Your home feels like home because it is safe and secure—you trust it and feel confident that it is a healthy, protected environment for you and your family.

But what if your home is making your family sick because of invisible toxins in your carpets that you’re not aware of?

Carpets act like giant sponges, absorbing all of the toxins, pollutants, and bacteria that we track in from the outside. They soak up the invisible pollutants that are found inside our house as well, like the ones found in mold or cleaning solutions. Because carpets are designed to hide things like dirt and grime and look cleaner than they actually are, we usually don’t realize all the harmful things they contain.

Not only do they soak up what we track onto them, but carpets themselves (especially new ones) often contain toxic chemicals. Very few carpets today are made using natural products or by natural processes. The adhesive glue, the carpet cleaners and shampoos, the loose fibers—they all contain harmful chemicals that can lead to health problems for your family.

Keep your family safe by keeping your carpets clean and toxin-free. Check out this infographic that illustrates how pollutants are spread to your carpets and shows you how to maintain them so that your family is kept healthy and safe from the harmful things that collect on your floors.

October 28, 2016adminEnergy Efficiency, infographicenergy efficient, infographicLeave a comment

In recent years, managing and reducing energy usage has become a top goal of governments around the world. It is evident that our planet’s natural resources are running out, and if we are to sustain a global economy and care for our planet, then we all need to be more energy-efficient. This will mean less money will be spent by home-owners, businesses, schools, etc., and enable the money saved to be spent on other import things, such as education, housing and healthcare.

Along with the potential cost saving and benefits for the economy, energy efficiency benefits the planet and our quality of life. Almost 200 hundred countries have signed The Paris Agreement and put targets and time-frames in place to help lower their energy consumption.

This infographic shows some of these targets, what they actually mean and how well the countries are doing in the fight against global warming. The infographic also offers some handy tips on how you can reduce your energy usage in your home and do your bit to make a conscious effort to lower your carbon footprint.

If you want to know what the UK has done, and is doing, to overcome energy consumption there is information included in the infographic too. Political agendas and government plans can be complex, so we’ve attempted to cut through the jargon to help you understand the importance of us all becoming more energy efficient to help save our precious planet.

How to Move Furniture Safely and Easily [Infographic]

September 27, 2016admininfographic, Movinginfographic, MovingLeave a comment

Anyone who has ever had to move a large, heavy piece of furniture around a house or up/down a flight of stairs will tell you that it is a physically imposing task, and not one without a bit of spatial know-how either. When it comes to shifting a bookcase or sofa, it isn’t just a matter of picking it up and going on your merry way. You’ll have to think ahead about where you’re going to grab it, what’s the easiest route to take and, most important of all, whether there are any unsafe impediments to negotiate.

Chic Furniture and Gift (http://www.chicfurnitureandgift.co.uk/shabby-chic-bedroom-furniture) created this great infographic guide to moving furniture quickly, easily and safely around your home. There are guides on moving furniture upstairs and downstairs, a list of the items you’ll most likely need before attempting to lift a heavy or bulky furniture item, as well as some vital tips on moving it as safely as possible.

Without proper consideration, lifting a bookcase up a flight of stairs can be lethal. If you don’t manage to grip it properly, it could come tumbling down on top of you and cause serious injury or even death. For starters, never move heavy furniture on your own. Always have a second (or even third) pair of hands on call to help out.

For more safety tips, check out the infographic below.

22 Great Tips to Make your Student Room a Home

Student rooms don’t have to be dull, bland and boring. It is easy to transform them into a home-from-home using inspirational ideas you will find in this infographic. Instant makeovers don’t have to cost a fortune; simply by moving furniture around you can change the look of a room.

Put some color and energy onto walls without painting or wallpapering by displaying personal photographs, posters or wall decals. Have fun with the display, make it heart shaped or randomly placed to cover unsightly marks.

Brighten up a student room by using inexpensive fairy lights, which are much kinder to your eyes than a central ceiling light. Alternatively add table lamps to highlight dark, gloomy corners.

Storage doesn’t have to be a problem either. Think outside the box so to speak, and use the space under your bed or use decorative boxes and make a feature of your stored items.

Bring a fresh smell into the room using scented candles or reeds, much nicer than stale odors or your room mates’ smelly socks.

One aspect you should try to keep in order clutter. It may be easy to have a floordrobe, but it will only make your room look and feel much smaller, not to mention a messy state that you’ll soon tire of.

Use the infographic to get a handle on how to make your student room more livable. It will boost your morale and give you a place you can call home.
