To understand where to settle in the future,to begin with, it is worth figuring out where you lived before and where you are now. In our new material, we extend a helping hand in this difficult matter - choosing the style of your future home. Have you already thought about this? Then you understand what a puzzle it is. How to choose a style when, when properly executed, all directions are beautiful. After all, sometimes minimalism is not so empty, and the cold industrial in some apartments is such that you want to move right away, and eclecticism in skillful hands even promises royal chambers. What to do? How to understand what is really yours, and what you just like? We have developed seven steps for you, having taken which, you will certainly be able to decide. Let's begin?
1. Inspect what you have
Walk around your home and take a look at it.from the outside, as a guest. How long do you think a person lives in this house? Who are they? How do they live? What do they strive for? What do they dream about? After you have formed an outside opinion, take a piece of paper and make two lists. The first is unloved, uncomfortable, inappropriate things. The second is the most favorite, valuable and comfortable pieces of furniture and decor. Then think about what home is for you - whether it is a favorite armchair, grandma's chiming clock or a new flat-screen TV. Most likely, your future interior will be built around these things, and the stylistic direction of these items will become the style of your new home.
2. Disassemble the mezzanine
Dig into your life history and choosethe most important, memorable and bright parts of it. Old family photos, especially successful drawings, favorite music, boxes, vases, suitcases that have become vintage, bags and hat boxes. The details of the future interior are ready. Such decor can be used to decorate almost any interior - from a modern loft to a dense retro.
3. Collect a collection of ideas
Maybe you've been doing this for a long time, andit's time to analyze the result. If not, start right now - collect interiors you like from magazines, photos, drawings and visualizations from all over the Internet. And then sit down and figure out what all these pictures that caught your eye have in common - palette, style, layout. Find it and draw your own conclusions.
4. Add yourself
You probably know how to do something with your hands:cross stitch, macramé, knit blankets, draw, create collages. No? Then rummage through collections - stamps, postcards, rare candy wrappers and labels. You'll definitely find something - this something will become the soul of your new home.
5. Expand your horizons
Don't be afraid to mix styles.If you suddenly discovered that yours is high-tech and vintage, don’t be afraid, this is not a dilemma, but an opportunity to express yourself and create something completely unique. First, find a basis for the interior, something that will be easiest for you to implement, and then complement the chosen direction with auxiliary details in a different style. Eclecticism is always great!
6. Get inspired by good examples
Call your friends and go visit them.Looking is not touching, but tactile sensations are very important to you. Furniture upholstery, textured plaster, bamboo blinds - every home has something that will hook and captivate you. Ask your friends how they live with a white fluffy carpet, whether glossy kitchen fronts are really so comfortable, and is it really true that dust is not visible on white furniture?
7. Look in the mirror
You've probably already found your style inclothes or at least outlined it. Are you sure that a young lady in a lush boho dress can live in a minimalist monochrome interior? Maybe you should try something else? Having answered the questions of who you are, what you really are, it is quite possible that you will easily find the answer to the main question - what kind of house do you want to live in. Relax, forget about the rules and trends, dive into yourself, dive headlong into your world - this is your real home. What is it like? You already know the answer, right?
