A/C

Air conditioning is a cooling system that removes heat from the air, and then pumps it outside. It can be installed in the window, or in the wall.

Air conditioning systems work by removing heat from inside your home and replacing it with cool air from outside your home. Air conditioners use electricity to run fans, compressors and other components that help remove hot air from your house while pushing in cooler external air through vents throughout your house’s walls.[1]

Acrylic

Acrylic is a synthetic polymer that’s used to make acrylic paint, fiberglass, and Plexiglas. In interior design, it’s most often seen as a finish for furniture and other objects. Acrylic can be applied in a variety of ways: with spray guns or brushes (for smaller surfaces), rollers (for larger ones), and even automated machines that apply it by dipping items into vats filled with liquid acrylic.

Acrylic has many benefits as an interior design material: it dries quickly; doesn’t shrink or warp when wet; remains flexible so it won’t crack over time; doesn’t require priming before painting on top of it; comes in many different colors; doesn’t fade from exposure to sunlight like oil-based paints do

But you don’t have to be an expert in color theory to understand how different colors interact with each other and affect a room’s look. Here are some common terms used when describing color schemes:

Color Scheme

Color scheme is a set of colors that work well together. It’s not just about the individual colors, but also how they interact with each other. Color schemes can be used to create a mood or atmosphere, depending on the type of room you’re decorating and what kind of look you want to achieve. For example, if you have an elegant dining room with dark wood furniture, then it might make sense for your color scheme to have some lighter shades like gold or silver so that they complement the darker tones in your room.

Colors can be combined in different ways too: monochromatic (all one hue) or complementary (opposite hues). Color schemes are used in interior design as well as fashion–and sometimes even food!

Feng Shui

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement that uses the flow of energy to create a healthy environment. It’s used to optimize a space, by arranging furniture and other objects in a way that promotes positive energy flow.
