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…
Contemporary Sophisticated Home Style
 

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.

WHAT THE COLORS IN YOUR HOME SAY ABOUT YOUR PERSONA - MAKING A RED STATEMENT


Colours have character and personality. 


  • Are you are fashion lover with a sunny bright personality, 
  • Or are you a sober more reflective person? 
  • Are you adventurous and more outgoing 
  • Or more business-like and all-professional in person? 
There are colours which can be used in your space to depict and reflect your personality. Let's review a few colours.



RED.


The color red is a strong, exciting, energetic and positive colour.


It exudes a domineering and powerful masculine energy. 
It excites the emotions and motivates us to take action.
It signifies a pioneering spirit and leadership qualities, promoting ambition and determination.
It is also strong-willed and can give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power.
the color red awakens our physical life force. 
It is the color of sexuality and can stimulate deeper and more intimate passions in us, such as love and sex on the positive side or revenge and anger on the negative.
The color red can stimulate the appetite, often being used in restaurants for this purpose. 
It also increases craving for food and other stimuli.
Being surrounded by too much of the color red can cause us to become irritated, agitated and ultimately angry.    







Having a personality which is inclined to the color red identifies you as extroverted and optimistic, courageous and confident.
You are action oriented and physically active, you have strong survival instincts.
With a favorite color red, you like to be the center of attention, other people are drawn to the vitality and sense of excitement you emit, you are stimulating to be with and you radiate a great deal of energy. 
You are ambitious and competitive and like to be the winner - you are achievement oriented. 
If you favor the color red you have a passion and enthusiasm for life and are not afraid to pursue your dreams and goals.




 Because the color RED is so visually arresting, “even one red piece can transform a bland room.
