yah but not my cup of tea....

Many homeowners love the look and style of contemporary design, however when it comes to developing the look in the bedroom they simply just do not have a clue as to how to achieve it.

The good news is that no matter how terrible your decorating skills may be, contemporary style decorating is fairly simple to do. It could be something as simple as painting the room a different color or even just changing your bedding and obviously that does not cost a fortune either.

Creating a Contemporary Look

The main thing that you have to remember with contemporary design is that it should be simple and have clean lines. You do not have to worry so much about every piece of furniture coordinating with each other; just as long as you keep the look simple you should be ok. Chrome and metal furnishings go particularly well in contemporary design as well as both dark and light stained wood and black lacquer furniture.

Accessories are not overly used in contemporary style decorating either but it is important to know that the accessories which you will be using will need to be well thought out. Simple vases with just one flower in them and metal sculptures make excellent accessories within the bedroom and decorative pillows on the bed can also look really good too.

You need to ensure that the lighting is perfect and one way to make that happen is to use chandelier type lighting and bedside lamps work well too. Chrome ceiling fixtures work really well with recessed lighting but you should ideally stay well clear of fancy lighting.

The color of the walls is the next thing which you should focus on and generally brown colors are usually preferred along with the use of black and white which creates a striking contrast. By painting the room a neutral color you can then let the accessories and the furniture take over the main theme. This means that you do not have to spend a huge amount of money creating a contemporary theme which is ideal if you have a small budget.

Plain artwork finishes off the contemporary look and they can make really plain walls look a little more exciting. Whilst simplicity is part of the contemporary style, there is such a thing as being too simplistic so do not have the walls too bare otherwise it will just look unlived in. If you want to make your room look a little more modern then adding tribal masks and abstract art onto the walls will really help to create the look.

Overall it is fairly simple to get the look which you require from contemporary decorating in the bedroom and it does not break the bank either. Just changing the bedding can make a huge difference so do what you can with the money that you have.

China has changed enormously over the last 20 years. Its economy has been growing at 10% a year, and it's on track to be the world’s largest economy soon. Today, 80% of the world’s electronic goods are made in China. As a result, more and more western companies want to do business in China. But how easy is it for a westerner to do business there? Here are some tips from the British Embassy in Beijing.

Take your time. In the west, business is ruled by deadlines. Chinese business people seem to act slowly by western standards, so be prepared to wait for decisions.
The applicant picks up the application for company name preapproval from the local Administration of Industry and Commerce (AIC), or otherwise, downloads the form from AIC’s Web site. The applicant completes and signs the application form and files it along with his or her identity card. The applicant must be one of the company shareholders. Effective July 1, 2004, enterprise name registration must follow the amended State Administration of Industry and Commerce (SAIC) rules (that is, the new Enterprise Name Registration Administration Implementing Measures, or Qi ye ming cheng deng ji guan li shi shi ban fa). According to the new registration rules, if the applicant goes directly to the AIC, a proposed company name is approved or rejected on the spot. This is newly regulated by Article 24 of the aforementioned measures and is implemented in practice. However if the application is made through mail, fax, email, etc, the proposed company name will be approved or rejected within 15 days.

Build relationships. In the west, it's usual to do business first, and then see if a relationship is possible. In China, it's the opposite. You need to build a relationship before you can do business. This leads to the idea of ‘guanxi’. Guanxi means using personal contacts and relationships to do business, and westerners need to understand how real and strong this is in China.

It can also be useful to find a reliable Chinese ally to work with you. He or she will be able to help with language or cultural problems and will also be able to understand Chinese body language. Remember too that a visit by a westerner is often seen as a great honour by Chinese companies.

You must remember to respect ‘face’. Face means having high status with your peers. Face can be lost, given or earned. Never criticize or insult someone in front of others, as losing face will make it impossible to make a deal. On the other hand, if you praise someone by saying good things about him or her, then he or she will gain face, but be careful not to do it too much.

Accept the pecking order. Hierarchy is very important in China, and the group is more important than the individual. In business, Chinese people often don't like taking responsibility individually and may also not like giving opinions in front of peers, in case they lose face.

All these tricks of the trade can help you to play the game and do business successfully in China. Be prepared, and be patient if you want to be a winner in China.

Female fashion models who work with the designers throughout the season are also in the competition. Each week, as the number of designers dwindle, the number of models are also reduced, with one model remaining at the end. Models are randomly pre-assigned to a designer during the first challenge, and from the second challenge onwards, the designers will have an opportunity to pick the model they wish to work with. This usually happens during the start of every episode save for the first, with the winner of the previous challenge receiving first pick, and the other designers picking models in order through host Klum's random draw of large red shirt buttons with their names stored in a black velvet bag. Though, there are times when only the winning designer will be given the choice to pick with the following choices: either keep his or her previous model, take the losing designer's model Project Runway from the last challenge, or switch models with another competing designer
