beautiful modern bedroom ideas image
Q. Consider the roof, floor, walls and windows. Which direction should this house face? Will the house generate any of it's own energy? What electrical appliances are used if I had a house in Istanbul? How can I keep this house cool in summer and warm in winter without using too much energy? Thanks so much, I don't know much about Istanbul!
This is for a school project. I'm not actually going to build a house in Istanbul:)

Answer
I really don't know about an eco house in Istanbul, but I do know about an eco house in general.
Totally Blunt gave you more detailed information.
Just bear in mind that
1. Isolation and structural materials DO play a VERY important role, so pay attention to it and don't hesitate to ask. Ask about where and how much PVC is used in the house.
2. Wood is the 'eco' friendliest and better in isolation material. Provides a better static (antisismic).
3. HEAT. Plant deciduous trees (right?) to the North side of your house, they may even reduce 40% energy needs (personal experience, dramatic reduction). Bedrooms and rooms, where you don't spend much time, better to face this side (northern).
Best orientation (not sure, sorry) is East.
A house in the middle of nowhere needs much better isolation and electricity/gas costs to get warmed.
4. Energy reduction...I'm not an expert in Istanbul, but I guess it's the same as my place (and everywhere). You can try stoves that burn wood in every room, if you don't intent to have a big house.
5. A more realistic and modern idea: put a big modern wood burning stove in your living room (not a fireplace, it burns much more woods and doesn't get warmed quickly, personal experience). There are beautiful stoves that permitte you to cook/bake if you like. ;-)
6. Solar panels for warm water, as Totally Blunt said, is a very good option (the installation may not be cheap). Solar energy for electricity is expencive (in my country and other countries at least).

Answer
A Tiffany's style in my mind speaks crystals/glass, silver tones, with light aqua color and white (Audrey’s favorite color). Think of the Tiffany's boxes/bags. Maybe two shades of aqua-bluish stripes, vertical or horizontal on the walls w/a silverish (grayish)color trim . Add crystal, glass, silver and white/cream accents/accessories and a beautiful cream color long haired rug by the bed. Use black and white photos of Audrey Hepburn and photos of New York City in varying sizes. For the bed I would "glam" it up by using cream color bedding with white and silver accent pillows alternating; with one Tiffany's style blue pillow in the center. For sheets look for ones with patterns, rather than solid colors that correspond with your color scheme. For a dresser I would go with white but if you really want to “glam” up dresser you can use your existing dresser and cover it in mirrored tiles. If you have room for a seating area by the window (window area should be light and airy); I would put a small white slightly modern round table like here: (http://www.seenonstyle.com/detail.php?p=55987&v=) DOCKSTA from IKEA), covered with a pale/Tiffany style blue throw accented with silver candle holders or a silver vase with white roses. Then put a modern arm chair like this: (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59830464 KLAPPSTA from IKEA) and accent the chair with Tiffany style blue accent pillows and one small silver one. On the table/or nightstand by the bed put a copy of Pamela Clarke Keogh Audrey Style Biography (http://www.seenonstyle.com/detail.php?p=55983&v=). Also I would look for a mirror that is floral etched in white; these are quite common in the stores now. Put in a "crystal" chandelier for lighting (like this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20089464 (KRISTALLER) or like this: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp;jsessionid=2F557DC8F2DF0B5E559A095C36330EDB.app12-node5?itemdescription=true&itemCount=60&id=12314225&parentid=A_FURN_LIGHTING_HANGING&sortProperties=+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&navCount=77&navAction=poppushpushpush&color=. Tear Drop Chandelier from Urban Outffiters ) For other lighting like a bedside lamp I would go with a lamp with shades trimmed with grosgrain ribbon - perhaps stripes.
Also here are some other ideas that incorporate the Old Hollywood look, where you can just subsitute the colors listed as suggetions with your Tiffany style color theme:
Here are some photo inspirations for you:

(can paint your bedroom walls in a light chocolate brown, look for white furniture or you can paint existing furniture in a antique white finish...accent with silver, crystal/glass...and other pale colors (like pale gray, gold for art and pillows)
