In the fall, we energize our interiors
[:en]The space we live in affects our state of mind. And not just the state of mind, but also our energy and enthusiasm. The way this space is settled out can offer us calm, quiet, comfort, intimacy or, on the contrary, dinamism and energy. Just as well, it can convey sobriety, distance, focus, tension, an orderly conduct of the strictest rules of decency or it can help us relax up to give us a creative impuls.
You can play around with the space. You don’t have to take it as it is and declare yourself satisfied no matter the state of mind this gives you. You can work with it, you can model it just so with its help to get the comfort, balance, energy and vitality that you need.
With that being said, we thought of few solutions that could help you break the ordinary cold and dreary pattern that dominates this time of year, solutions through which you can transform your house in a fresher and optimistic space.
The handiest solution of all remains the color. A fresh paint can do wonders in a space that has become dull or just neutral. Vibrant colors, even if only applied on certain portions of the wall, can give a new life to the room. And when we say “portions of a wall” we don’t necessarly mean the west, north or east (even though, this “accent wall” can’t be neglected), but small pieces, “broken” from the whole wall space.
In the same time, you could paint one generous rectangle which can be framed. If the frame is well chosen, the ansamble can create a real dramatic and impressive view.
Another solution to the space can be the usage of stripes. Why not paint a wall in stripes? Is not necessarly to have that solid block of color on one wall, right? Play around with stripes and we can assure you, you will like it!
Just as well, you can add color through the help of furniture or decorative objects. You can energize your space with an upholstered armchair in a vibrant material, using lighting in bright colors or even simply adding decorative pillows with colorful prints.
Contrast has its exciting impact as well and it can surprise and give a vitality to the space. It is important here, though, to be used with measure. If every element in your room would be in contrast with each other, then the final result would be, no doubt, a tedious and suffocating overcrowding. Therefore, use the contrast but don’t over due it.
To be able to create an effect of fresh and vibrant interior, you will realize how important the light is. Maybe a small portion of its fault would be because we associate unconsciously or involuntary with the diurnal cycles with alternating day / night or the suggestion of dynamism that sunny days give us. Whatever the reason, light is an important source of vitality and can act as an energizing factor. Therefore, together with a proper lighting plan, the decoration created around a warm palette of colors will contribute to the revival of the interior. If the dominant is warm and light, it will create an ideal background to be adding the contrast elements we spoke about before.
Another way that you can obtain the fresh, alive and comfortable effect in your interior is through the help of natural elements and plants. One exemple can be the materials that come from nature and can be used in the interior: like a piece of furniture made out of wood, very lightly processed next to one other object with subtle, almost organic shape or a rug with a rough pattern or made out of leather situated next to very modern armchair. You can use plants as well to revigorate the space not only through visual impact, but, especially, through the fact that they are living organisms that can bring a breath of fresh air.
