LET YOUR SPACE DO THE TALKING...


Every space reflects not just the personality of its occupant, but also tells an underlying story……

… I walked into the porch of a beautiful home with a serene ambience, knocked on the door and was greeted by the house keeper who welcomed me in and asked that I wait to meet with the boss, whom I was going to be meeting with for the very first time. Looking around the living room which was adorned in an impeccable array of white and beige colour schemes, lovely pieces of artworks and ornaments delicately displayed all around the house with so much detail and emphasis. The pieces of furniture looked Italian and very exquisite, looking outdoor through the large expanse of glass windows was a beautiful garden, it was breathe-taking and I could tell just by looking around the magnificent house that the owner was really a man of class and good taste. I anticipated meeting a man who would look clean and sleek. Then I heard a voice say “hello” and I turned to respond “Good morning Sir, am here to see Mr Richard, the owner of this home, I booked an appointment to see him here today”, “I am Mr Richard” he said. I was completely taken aback as he was a sharp contrast from the image the ambience of his home portrayed. He looked scruffy, unkempt…

So many times, we make an effort at telling people about ourselves, our nature, etc. and trying in a lot of words, ways and gestures to express who we really are, our likes, dislikes, what we are fond of, our favourite habits, past times etc. All of these traits are always expressed in our ‘styletitude’ (permit me to use that word, if there’s any word like that) which simply means ‘our style attitude’.

Our style attitude or Style personality is always reflected in our style choices and preferences, which is a psychological reflection of our personality.

Some people are introverts, hence tend toward conservative styles, they also most often may prefer antique, traditional, vintage or old school elements, pieces, attires etc. whilst others are extroverts and are very adventurous, extreme and outgoing with their style choices. They tend to be very trendy, love high fashion, contemporary modern styles and are in tune with eclectic pieces and elements. Others love a mix of both worlds, a little of the vintage and conservative touch alongside the trendy and modern style.
Eclectic Home Style
 

Our style sense, choices and personalities most often reflect not just in our fashion style, but also in our interiors as well. Interior design and décor projects aesthetic symmetry and customized architecture and remodeling, realizing that these are facets through which a company’s purpose can be symbolized or an individual’s personality expressed.

If you are a lover of bold, sharp colours, shapes, patterns, bright lights, busy & occupied spaces with pieces placed everywhere and little spare spaces, you love to occupy buildings within the city centre with a lot of hussle and bustle, it’s a reflection that you are an energetic, vibrant, busy minded, upwardly mobile and socially active person who pays little attention to cleared out spaces. If you love serene, quiet environments, the seaside, ancient pieces of arts, lover of nature, vegetation, beautiful landscapes, sober colours and subtle shapes and patterns, then you are more of a reflective, cool and calm person, meticulous and very detailed.
