Working from home can be a blessing or a curse. You're able to complete your work from the comfort of your own space, but if your home office isn't designed well, your production levels could suffer. Don't let a poorly structured work area ruin a privilege like working from home. Let Anderson Hardwood help you design a home office that's maximized for efficiency.

Ergonomics are crucial
At home, you're in charge of your level of comfort. Hard office chairs and traditional keyboards can cause discomfort, which in turn creates a distraction that deters productivity. Furnish your home office with an ergonomic chair designed to support your spine and reduce neck strain. However, sitting all day can be detrimental to your health. Consider including a standing desk to give your body a break from sitting. Another way to increase productivity through comfort is to invest in an ergonomic keyboard, which can reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries to your wrists.

Keep it well-stocked
You're not going to get any work done if you have to keep searching for a pen or printer paper. Keep a reasonable amount of office supplies readily available nearby. By having sticky notes, ink cartridges and other commonly used items handy, you can increase the functionality of your home office. Additionally, setting up storage bins can keep these items from spreading around the room and creating a disorganized distraction. 

Make it serious but not austere
No matter how much you love your favorite movie posters or album covers, they probably aren't the best decorations for your home office. Instead, hang a serene landscape print or a family photo that won't distract you from the tasks at hand. Avoid loud colors and attention-drawing patterns, but don't make the space too boring. A high-quality yet subtle hardwood like Anderson's Old Fort flooring creates the perfect atmosphere of productivity without losing any of the character and warmth that make a room comfortable. Old Fort comes in four different colors that will fit almost any design theme and is guaranteed to last for years to come. 

Decorate to inspire yourself
Just because you can't hang your posters and album art doesn't mean you can't add little touches of your personality. Motivational posters are a good office decoration to add style without creating distraction. You can also create your own goal chart and display it to keep you inspired. Desk calendars featuring your favorite TV show characters or fun daily facts are another way to add flair without losing functionality, and they can help keep you organized.

Home offices are advantageous because you get to work from the comfort of your own home. However, if your office isn't designed for efficiency, your production and quality could slip. To make the most of your home office, make sure your furniture is comfortable and safe, keep a decent amount of office supplies within reach and decorate in a way that promotes focus. Anderson Hardwood's Old Fort product line can help you create a productive environment that's still a pleasure to work in. 

Of all the gin joints in all the world, a home bar is special because it is uniquely yours. By designing a bar in your home, you never have to worry about it being overcrowded, the drinks are always served just how you like them and you can choose the company. Installing a home bar can add value and make your home the place everyone wants to hang out. Anderson Hardwood has outlined some pointers for creating a home bar in your home. 

Functionality
Before you begin installing your home bar, you must decide what purpose you want it to serve. If you like to come home from work and kick back with a beer, there's really no reason for a large, elaborate setup. However, if you're a person who enjoys hosting large wine tastings or cocktail parties, a larger design would be more beneficial. Examine the area where you want the bar to be to ensure that there's enough space for whatever you have planned. 

Design
This is the fun part of creating your home bar. You get to decide whether your in-home watering hole will look like a rustic, European pub or a modern Manhattan-esque cocktail bar. No matter which design you choose, Anderson Hardwood's Eagle Lodge flooring is the perfect match for any home bar style. Its rich wood comes in four different colors, Dark Toast, Lariat, Salt Creek and Warm Cider, to fit any theme. The handcrafted wood is durable enough for your bar area and adds unique style.

Tone
What do you want people to feel when they're in your home bar? After you've designed and installed your bar, choose colors and decor to communicate that tone. Darker colors paired with stone countertops and walls create a more masculine, sports bar type atmosphere, whereas lighter colors paired with granite tend to inspire a crisper, upscale feel. The liquor storage can also affect the tone of your bar. Closed off, wooden cabinets tend to give the bar a warmer tone, while open, glass cabinets can create a more chic atmosphere. 

From top-of-the-line hardwood flooring like Anderson's Eagle Lodge project to choosing which colors and textures best communicate your theme, building a home bar is one of the most fun home improvement projects. A home bar gives you a space where you can share drinks with friends and neighbors or toast to yourself with an evening cocktail. However you choose to enjoy it, a home bar is an advantageous addition to any house.

Anderson Hardwood has a reputation for crafting some of the industry's finest hardwood flooring. Each line has its own distinct features that make it perfect for specific design styles. Anderson's Rushmore product is special in that its different color options create a variety of looks to match almost any theme. 

Homespun
Just like the name says, the Homespun line of Anderson's Rushmore flooring makes any room feel like home. The honey color is warm and inviting. It's great for living rooms and bedrooms because it isn't too dark. Homespun would work well with a country-themed room. 

Lantern Glow
The rich color of this product brings to mind an old English library. It's just dark enough to make you feel cozy and warm without consuming all the light. Lantern Glow is excellent for rooms where you're trying to achieve a refined yet comforting atmosphere. This color would be best in a man cave or home theater where you don't want the floors to be too bright.

Natural
This version of Anderson's Rushmore flooring is the lightest of the line. Its cheerful appearance makes it a good choice for decorating studies or home offices. Natural is bright enough to keep you alert and in positive spirits without being overbearing. It would complete any urban-chic theme. 

Old Furnace
Like Lantern Glow, Old Furnace creates a warm feeling in any room. Its dark wood has a soothing effect, making it an excellent addition to bedrooms and entertainment rooms where relaxation is the most important objective. Old Furnace would be perfect for completing a French Aristocracy design style.

Rain Barrel
This oaken-colored version of Anderson's Rushmore flooring would make any kitchen look top-of-the-line. The fact that the boards alternate between light and dark adds contrast to a room where solid colors and metallic appliances usually dominate. This product puts the finishing touches on a mid-century modern design. 

Whistling Kettle
As the darkest of the Rushmore line, Whistling Kettle inspires serenity. Deep brown hues envelop the room in a warm, blanketed feeling. This line works best in living rooms, dens and bedrooms. Because of its full-bodied color, Whistling Kettle looks fabulous with ski lodge-themed decor and style. 

As you can see, the different varieties of Anderson Hardwood's Rushmore flooring can be worked into a number of design styles. The unique colors and texture make the Rushmore line one of Anderson's best products. 

Re-flooring your home is not a home improvement project to take lightly, especially if you're considering hardwood flooring. Hardwood floors are an investment. They'll last for decades and add value to your home. There are many factors to consider before installing hardwood floors. First, you should choose a reliable hardwood flooring specialist with a reputation for excellent service. Then you need to decide which type of wood would be most beneficial to your home's design and your desired style. Anderson Hardwood has outlined the differences between light wood and dark wood to help you in your selection.

Light wood
Woods like maple, oak and cherry are typically lighter in color. Light wood is best for homes with wood paneling, cabinetry and ceiling beams with darker wood. The lightness helps brighten the room and make it seem larger. Light wood also adds dimension and contrast to rooms with dark countertops and furniture. Because light wood has a more energetic effect, it's best used in rooms like the home office, living room, kitchen or entryway. These spaces require the bright, welcoming atmosphere that light wood provides. Many contemporary design styles also prefer light wood to dark wood. Country chic, mid-century modern and coastal designs are all great options for using light wood.

Dark wood
Walnut and mahogany are perfect examples of dark hardwood. Because it's warmer and less demanding on the eyes, dark wood tends to work best in rooms where you'd want to be soothed. Home bars, bedrooms, entertainment rooms and sometimes living rooms are good places to install darker hardwood. In overly spacious living rooms, dark wood can help the area feel less empty. In bedrooms where the walls and decor are lighter, dark wood can create a comforting contrast. Dark wood is perfect for creating a classic, antique look, which is useful in design styles like old English manor and ski lodge.

Hardwood flooring can be an excellent addition to your home. However, before you install it you must decide which color of wood would look best in your home. Luckily, with a company like Anderson Hardwood, there are plenty of flooring styles that come in both light and dark woods. This means that if you fall in love with a specific style, you'll usually have the option to choose between light or dark. Anderson is committed to helping you find the perfect flooring for whichever design you're trying to achieve. 

Whether you're a master chef or an occasional baker, the kitchen is a crucial room to any home. If you're considering upgrading your kitchen, there are a few things you need to consider first. Remodeling your kitchen takes planning, vision and quality building materials. Take a look to see how Anderson Hardwood can help you get the kitchen of your dreams.

Decide what's right for you
Before you remodel your kitchen, you need to decide how you'll be using the space. If you're not going to be cooking extravagant meals, a smaller one-wall kitchen may be your best layout option. This condensed setup leaves room for you to add extra features, like an island or an in-wall wine rack. However, if you're known for hosting big parties or cooking large meals, you shouldn't skimp on the space. Make the most of your setup by adding adequate counter space for food prep and serving.  

Plan for efficiency
There are three main things to keep in mind when planning an efficient kitchen remodel: storage, preparation and cleanup. You'll need to ensure that you have enough cabinet space to store all of your cooking supplies and utensils. Your refrigerator should also be able to accommodate any food storage you may produce. Additionally, your countertops should be wide and kept clear to avoid any hassle during preparation. Your appliances, such as your oven and stovetop, will need to have the capability to keep up with your cooking habits. As for cleanup, choose an energy-efficient dishwasher that can hold all of your dish output.

Lighting is important
When it comes to lighting your kitchen, find a balance between fixtures that are stylish but still provide adequate light. Track lighting is the best for kitchens because it can be adjusted as needed. It gives you the flexibility to focus the light where you need it most. You might also consider installing under-cabinet lighting above cooking and food prep areas where you need to be able to see what you're doing. To put the finishing touches on lighting and to add a touch of style, install a chandelier over your island space. 

Flooring adds the finishing touches 
No kitchen is complete without flooring that complements the tone of the room. Anderson Hardwood's Rideau Plank product is a great flooring to complete your kitchen remodel. It's made of high-quality, durable material that will last for years to come. Rideau Plank also comes in three different colors: Maple Syrup, Molasses and Raw Sugar. These colors vary between light, medium and dark wood, making it the perfect hardwood flooring to match any design style.

It doesn't matter if you're baking an extravagant cake for a party or simply cooking dinner for the family - your kitchen should be designed for efficiency and style. Anderson Hardwood's Rideau Plank is an excellent finishing touch to any kitchen remodel. It's versatile enough to complete any design vision, and you can rest easy knowing you're getting a quality product from a reliable company. 

There are hundreds of hardwood manufacturers in the U.S. Many of them claim to be the best and say their products are top-of-the-line. So, what makes Anderson Hardwood different from its competitors? Anderson is known for providing quality hardwood flooring that makes a beautiful addition to any home. It has a reputation as an industry leader with an incredible service record. Yet, two of Anderson Hardwood's breakthrough products set them apart from every other flooring specialist on the market. 

LusterLock® Ultra
This revolutionary product is exclusive to Anderson Hardwood. Most wood floors tend to show signs of wear about 10 years after initial installation. Anderson guarantees its products for up to 50 years because of the LusterLock® Ultra finish. Scuff tests have proven this feature makes hardwood floors up to six times more resistant to scratching and scuffing. Hardwood floors are an investment, so choose an Anderson product to preserve their beauty. The LusterLock® Ultra finish will give you peace of mind that your new flooring will last for years to come.

EnCore®
You don't install flooring with the plan to walk on eggshells. You expect a product that can stand up to the tests of everyday life and still look great. Anderson Hardwood products are manufactured with EnCore® technology, another exclusive feature. Because of the ultra high density of EnCore®, Anderson flooring has less air pockets than traditional hardwood floors. Fewer air pockets means the boards are more difficult to penetrate, which makes them less susceptible to damage and more dimensionally stable. 

Anderson Hardwood is a company known for providing unparalleled service and industry-leading products. Two breakthrough flooring technologies, LusterLock® Ultra and EnCore®, make their products even more valuable than before. Hardwood floor installation is a big decision, and you want the peace of mind in knowing that your decision will be one you can enjoy and admire for years to come. 

Inspired by the stylish looks of the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco design traditionally features bold outlines, unique geometric shapes and zig-zagging patterns. Art Deco is famously glamorous but functional and modern. If you wish to achieve this interior style in your home, you'll need to choose furniture, decor and design elements that are classy and unique. See what tips Anderson Hardwood, a company known for interior design expertise, has for creating this look.

Lighting
In the '20s and '30s, light fixtures were typically made of glass or shiny metal. This added to the style and flair in the room. If you can't find original fixtures from the time period, feel free to purchase replicas. Wall sconces with warm-colored bulbs create the perfect atmosphere for an Art Deco theme.  

Fabrics
When choosing fabric patterns for rugs, curtains and furniture, avoid any wild prints. Art Deco style prefers solid colors, often contrasting with other elements in the room, or geometric shapes. Anderson suggests picking furniture in a light solid color like white or gray and creating a vibrant contrast with red, blue or green throw pillows. Another thing to keep in mind is that silk was a favorite fabric of the time period. Use silk for draperies and upholstery covering.

Colors
In the '20s, the economy was flourishing and people were in brighter spirits. This attitude shows through in their use of bright colors. If you're looking for a chance to be bold with your Art Deco room, do it with the color scheme. Incorporate vibrant colors like canary yellow and emerald green that contrast with other elements in the room. You could also consider painting the walls a shiny, metallic silver and displaying a collage of bright pop art. 

Furniture
With Art Deco style, bigger is better. Don't be afraid to get flashy, either. People in the '20s and '30s used their furniture to communicate their wealth. Mirrored furniture was wildly popular. Pieces made of exotic wood were also favorites of the time period. Decorate your Art Deco room with large chairs and sofas that demonstrate your glamorous side. 

Floors
To maintain the contrasting, geometric themes in Art Deco design, Anderson Hardwood's Casitablanca Mixture product is the perfect flooring. Its boards vary in width between 3 inches, 5 inches and 7 inches. Casitablanca Mixtures is available in a variety of color options such as Forged Bronze, Panera, Hammered Clove and many more. The handcrafted material originated in Paraguay and is guaranteed to last for 50 years. As was common with the Art Deco theme, you should add a bold-colored rug to the room.  

Art Deco was a revolutionary style in the 1920s and 1930s. It displayed the booming wealth and high spirits the country was experiencing. Anderson Hardwood, an expert in interior design style, is committed to helping you achieve the Art Deco look you want. By following the advice above and selecting Anderson's Casitablanca Mixture, you can get the look of the '20s and '30s in your home. In addition to your new style, you get the peace of mind that comes from choosing a knowledgeable and reputed flooring company. 

When you're looking to strike the perfect balance between class and comfort, look no further than Anderson Hardwood's Urban Pioneer flooring line. The name says it all. It's as if Anderson captured the charm and grace of the Old South and blended it with the character and individuality of today. Urban Pioneer comes in three colors, Copper Cart, Golden Peak and Iron Ore, that are the epitome of this stunning combination. Check out how the variations of Urban Pioneer encompass both modern style and rustic charm. 

Modern style
For a flooring that creates an urban atmosphere, the Copper Cart and Iron Ore versions of Urban Pioneer are best. Copper Cart's hip elegance makes it perfect in dining rooms and sitting rooms where you want modern style at the forefront. Iron Ore, on the other hand, walks the line gracefully between classical and innovative. Its dark beauty complements home offices and entertainment rooms where dark wood is most advantageous. 

Rustic charm
While Copper Craft is best for contemporary interior design style, Golden Peak works well in a more classical environment. The Golden Peak version of Urban Pioneer calls to mind the gorgeous manor homes of the Old South. Its honey-colored warmth makes any bedroom and living room a comfortable and elegant place to spend time. While Iron Ore also has modern beauty, there is a distinctly historic feel to it. Its molasses-colored boards add simple beauty to any room. 

Anderson Hardwood's Urban Pioneer flooring makes an excellent addition to any room where you're looking to create a uniquely nostalgic yet urbane atmosphere. Not only are you guaranteed beautiful flooring, but any time you choose a product from Anderson, it comes with the peace of mind that you're working with a knowledgeable and reliable company.

It's a uniquely beautiful flooring line that comes in a variety of colors that will complement any interior design style. In fact, 5" Engineered comes in nine different color varieties. Check out a sampling of the colors below. 

Autumn
This beautiful medium-dark hued wood is perfect for almost any room where you want to relax. Its red-tinted warmth creates an inviting yet sophisticated look that guests won't soon forget. As the flagship of Anderson's 5" Engineered line, this is a flooring you'll be proud to display in any room. 

Black Walnut
As the darkest of the 5" Engineered line, Black Walnut is best used in rooms where light is adequate and you want to feel comforted.

Burlap
This is the lightest of the 5" Engineered line. With its soothing honey color, Burlap is perfect for kitchens, living rooms and kids' rooms where you want reliable flooring with a friendly look. Burlap has a uniquely homey yet stylish feel to it. You could use this version of the 5" Engineered collection to brighten any space.

Chicory
This color of 5" Engineered is a cross between Autumn and Flintlock. It combines the welcoming nature of Autumn and the classical beauty of Flintlock. Chicory is perfect for rooms where you want to achieve an Old South aristocratic design theme. 

Flintlock 
Just like the name sounds, Flintlock reminds one of a time when pirates ruled the high seas. It calls to mind the decking of a ship. Its classical, time-weathered look makes it a stunning addition to dens, dining rooms and home offices. 

Spicy Cider
With a medium-light tint, Spicy Cider looks great in bedrooms, sitting rooms and certain kitchens. Its unique almost buttery hue adds an inviting, stylish look to your home. It has an interesting combination of lighter wood highlighted by dark insets that will create a unique contrast in the style of your room.

Trace
While Trace is lighter than Black Walnut, its chocolate-like appearance makes it a delectable addition to rooms where you're looking to create contrast. Trace's glossy yet refined appearance creates a calming effect but provides superior style. 

There are many incomparable lines in Anderson Hardwood's flooring products, but 5" Engineered is the one that offers the most diversity. From the nine color options, you're sure to find a flooring option that perfectly fits your needs. Additionally, with a name like Anderson, you know you're getting the quality flooring you deserve.

Out of all the rooms in your home, the dining room may be the room where the most memories are made. It's the setting for holiday family meals and gatherings with friends. The dining room is where you display your proudest culinary creations. You should design the dining room in your home for style, functionality and comfort. Let Anderson Hardwood help you create a dining room that encompasses these qualities. 

Focal point
Every great dining room has a central point of focus that all other design elements are designed around. This can be a piece of interesting art, a fireplace or a home bar. If there's a feature of the room that you enjoy more than the others, consider making this your focal point. By basing the rest of the design on this piece, you'll surely have an outcome you love. 

Lighting
In the dining room, warm lights work best. You can put warm-colored bulbs in an elegant chandelier or wall sconces for a refined look. An excellent feature to include in dining room lighting is a dimmer. This will allow you to adjust the level of brightness for each situation. 

Surface space
Consider adding sideboards to avoid overcrowded tables. These pieces can serve as buffet tables and extra space for serving trays. Sideboards also add an element of old-world rustic charm to your dining room.

Table and chairs
There's no doubt that you want your dining room furniture to look as refined as the rest of the design elements. However, you'll need to factor in functionality. No matter how gorgeous your chairs are, if they're uncomfortable it can detract from the enjoyment you get from your dining room. Additionally, while you may be tempted to purchase a table solely for its looks, you should consider how it will fit in your designated space and if it will provide adequate seating. 

Flooring
The best way to put a solid finishing touch on your dream dining room is to choose flooring that conveys durability and beauty. Anderson Hardwood's Gnarly Plank flooring is perfect for dining rooms because it has unparalleled character and is available in three stunning hues that are sure to match any interior design theme.

In a room where so much more than food is shared, it's important to make sure it's designed in an inviting and comfortable way. Factors like lighting, seating and flooring all play major roles in creating a dining room that's perfect for any occasion. 

Anderson Hardwood has many flooring options to choose from. These hardwood floors come in a variety of beautifully handcrafted styles and designs, one of which is Anderson's Elements product. This solid pine flooring makes a gorgeous addition to any room, and it comes in three different color options. Each Elements colors has characteristics that make it fit best with certain interior design styles. Take a look at which styles work best with Elements' Clay, Fossil and Lava flooring colors.

1. Clay
This medium-shaded version of Elements is an unforgettable dark caramel color. Its characteristic texture gives the appearance of being time-weathered while retaining the qualities of new flooring. Clay is the perfect combination of Elements' other color options, Fossil and Lava. It strikes a unique balance between the two hues, which makes it a safe choice for almost any design style. However, because it's warm and informal, Clay works best with inviting design styles like the rustic lodge look.

2. Fossil
As the lightest of Elements' color varieties, Fossil creates an environment that is light and always fresh. It best complements design themes like country kitchen and modern loft. Because it's so light, it works well in rooms that are typically darker or have dark design elements. Fossil adds a cheery touch to whichever room it's used in, while maintaining a stylish appearance that can sometimes be lost with lighter wood. 

3. Lava
If you're trying to achieve a French countryside or classical design style, the dark hues of Lava are your best option in the Elements flooring line. It's a color that is comforting and can tone down any louder decorations you might want to use. Lava also contrasts nicely with light-colored wood cabinets and adds depth to any room. While this color of Elements flooring has the look of dark, aged wood that's common in aristocratic decor, Lava is anything but stuffy. In fact, it gives a warm atmosphere that makes a person feel comforted and safe. 

Anderson Hardwood's Elements flooring is an excellent addition to any room in your home. It's a versatile flooring product that comes from a company with a trusted reputation as an industry leader. Elements flooring is guaranteed to last 50 years and will add beauty to whichever room you put it in.

For decades, the den has been a relaxing retreat in the home. It's a room where you can go to enjoy a good book or sprawl out by the fire. From the decor to the design materials, there are many elements that come into play to create the perfect den. Anderson Hardwood has gathered some pointers on how to make the den your favorite room in your home. 

Comfort
Perhaps the most important aspect of a den is its comfort factor. All of the items in your den should contribute to the relaxing and inviting nature of this room. When it comes to furniture, choose pieces you'd like to curl up and nap on. Large, cushioned armchairs are excellent for curling up with a great book. A fireplace is another feature that adds comfort to the den. There's nothing quite like a wood fire to keep you warm through those long winter evenings. When it comes to the decor, keep it simple. Bookcases, coffee tables made of warm wood and calming paintings help make the den a cozy space.

Style
Whatever theme you choose, make sure the style isn't overpowering. Remember, the den is supposed to be a place of relaxation. Try painting the walls with an earthy tone that will soothe you whenever you're in the space. Hardwood floors are perfect for creating an inviting atmosphere. Especially hardwood flooring like Anderson's Crossfire product from the Virginia Vintage collection. This flooring comes in four warm colors like Afterglow, Flickering Flames, Midnight Ember and Tinder. Crossfire is made of handcrafted maple specifically designed for durability and style. 

Casual
While you don't want your den to be painted in bright, goofy colors or decorated in oddly patterned furniture, you don't want it to be too austere either. A stuffy room doesn't promote relaxation, after all. Your personal touches can help the den maintain its casual feel. Toss your favorite hand-me-down quilt over the back of the sofa and set personalized coasters out on the coffee table. 

A den is a room where you can be at ease. It's a place for relaxing activities and Sunday afternoon naps. You should fill it with furniture and decor that promotes a feeling of comfort. Using hardwood flooring is another way to create the inviting atmosphere that defines a den. Durable flooring from a trusted manufacturer, like Anderson's Crossfire product, is perfect for achieving this. 

Few flooring companies make products as diverse as Anderson Hardwood. Many of their flooring designs are versatile enough to add style and beauty to any room. Anderson's Thorne Hill flooring is the perfect example of flooring that will look great in a variety of rooms. Take a look below to see which areas Thorne Hill would best complement.

Entryway
This is the first part of your home's interior that guests see. To make a good impression, put your best foot forward by designing this area with taste and refinement. Thorne Hill's Barlett Farm color is the epitome of these qualities. By pairing Anderson's quality hardwood flooring with a deep, rich color, your entryway will become a room that will welcome visitors with style. 

Dining room
For the room where meals are shared and memories are made, you'll want a design style that is inviting and warm. Wall sconces and dark wood furniture make the space feel elegant. Pair these elements with Thorne Hill's Bretton Woods color and you'll create the appetizing atmosphere of grandeur that defines dining rooms. 

Reading nook
The most important aspect of a reading nook is comfort. In this small space, you'll be transported to different worlds and live a thousand lives. It's crucial to make sure that you're cozy through all of this. Make the space feel nest-like without crossing the line into claustrophobic. However, you'll want plenty of light here. If there are no windows, consider overhead lighting. Light-colored furniture and fabric also make the room appear brighter. Thorne Hill's Ellis River color complements this type of large, overstuffed furniture and creates a pleasing contrast. 

Home office
In a room where your main focus is work, you'll want a no-nonsense atmosphere. Yet, even with the efficient design, you shouldn't have to sacrifice style. Thorne Hill's Middle Brown color is classy without being distracting. Anyone who enters an office with this flooring knows that the owner means business and has taste that should be respected.
