| 82 | The new lightness
As usual…. to see better “click” on the photos!
As I'm renovating my place right now, I am going to talk about this subject in another article because it's something that fascinates me. Emptying my wardrobes, my rooms, all my drawers and shelves, I found a lot of things that For that reason let’s make some steps backwards:
Back to the roots Throw away everything that you don’t really need! Get free of those decorative objects you don’t like any more, that you keep only because they remind you something, because you have bought them during your holiday in…, just because they are a present from a dear friend that you haven’t seen for ages, just because they are the result of a crazy shopping….OUT! Keep only what you really love and you really need. I’d say it’s better to keep those objects made of precious materials as well, pieces that can stay with you for the rest of your life.
Everything that “make noise” has to be left out. Too strong colors, fashion furniture and similar are interesting but only for a little while. You will hate them after short time. Who wants to find relax at home needs brightness. This means few shapes, few colors, few materials. Only in our quiet we can find our strength.
Try to realize world of colors A house can’t be without any colors but you shouldn’t exaggerate, not because I don’t like it, but because it’s better for you in my opinion. Choose a world of colors as grey and white, brown and beige, or shades from the sea for example. Strong colors overlook your house, more neutral colors can give you calm and fit better with your furniture.
Create a “homeland” I want to be sure it’s clear that it’s not necessary to choose everything neutral or minimal, otherwise you risk to get a cold and impersonal effect. Use your own taste and mood when you choose your furniture, maybe using an old piece, leaving some books on the floor or adding nice things you have found somewhere; they don’t have to be of big value, but they will surely have a personal value for you. In this way your house is really your homeland! And I know this is not easy because you have to reach this target stopping before the “too much effect”.
I got free of many objects I have collected in my life, all those objects you get used to but when you ask yourself:”Do I really need them?”, the answer is “NO!!!”.
I think spring time can help us to clean and change our houses. We want to search in our wardrobes and maybe change the colors of our walls. We know that when it’s sunny we want to go out and stay outside. Nature calls us strong and clear!
