What was wrong with her livingroom?
I recently visited a friend who had gotten her own place after a
long-time relationship. When I walked in her room I thought I
had walked into a recreation of a small town thrift store. You
know the kind, lots of odds and ends but nothing that really
caught your eye. Now I’m no decorating queen, but even I know
gaudy and mismatched when I see it.
The trick to making a living area express you, is not to fill it
with simply “things you own” or “like”. Rather, choose a few things that have
contrasting yet complimentary colors to each other.
I encouraged my friend to maybe put some of the knick-knacks
away and even rotate her collectibles if it made her feel
better. After a whole day of helping her, we were able to turn
her living room into a haven that really expressed who she was.
It wasn’t necessary to display everything she owned. We placed
some of her candles on a few shelves, put her tea-cup collection
on a shelf and added a floral print pillow collection to the
furnishings. That, and a few of her lamps, and her room looked
completely different, better, and really let her style shine.
