DECORATION
Is it important or not to follow trends?
How many times have you asked yourself if it is so important to follow fashions or to spend countless hours on research when thinking about decorating a space. It may not be necessary to follow trends, in fact, it depends a lot on the budget, taste and mood of each one, but interior decoration is much more important than we think.
The house is an extension of who inhabits it and the act of decorating goes far beyond the simple decoration of a space. In fact, that environment will materialize the beliefs, emotions and experiences of each person who is part of it. As several people we interviewed on this topic said, decorating is therapy.
Every detail of the space, from the color of the walls, the lighting, the furniture, the decorative objects, the tapestries or the plants, are chosen according to our taste. Therefore, a little of us is placed in that environment and our identity is imprinted.
Did you know that decoration can influence our mood? You may have already noticed that the different styles of decoration arouse different sensations in us. This is because objects, decorative accessories and colors carry different vibrations, both positive and negative. The color white, for example, conveys harmony, peace and simplicity, but red already brings us strength, energy and movement. The same happens with patterned or plain fabrics and objects that are more or less sober, ethnic, religious, etc.
A good project is one that provides comfort, functionality, helps to reduce stress and triggers good memories. It is not always necessary to decorate the whole house with the same style, we can diversify according to the sensations we want to feel in each room. For example, the bedroom can be our haven of tranquility and the living room a more joyful and vibrant space.
But when should I renew the decor? Our advice is “whenever you feel the need”. In fact, internal changes call for external changes. We all go through constant changes and transformations and it's normal to feel like taking a 360º turn. If we change our look why not renew the decoration of the house for something new…
Do the exercise in your own home and reflect on all the elements that make it up. Are they contributing to the well-being of my family? The answer you will find out for yourself!
