| -Storing: As it was said before, object accumulation is one of the modern man’s characteristics (as well as of ferrets). It is not only about clothing, books, CD’s, but also all those little thing that are necessary but annoying: wires, plugs, batteries, brochures, bills, etc, etc, etc. Storing furniture is a good solution (CD Racks , bookcases, display cabinets and sideboards), but in rationed spaces a lot of furniture will not fit or will otherwise overload the room. This is the reason why each piece of furniture should be carefully chosen with awareness not only of style but of storing capability. Not to overfurnish the living-dining room, every dusted nook must be seized. Underbed storage like drawers for the room, hanging shelves for books and magazines, or corner shelf units are some examples. -Decoration: For some, not feeling guilty for not exhibiting in their homes little objects as statuettes, ashtrays and general ornaments when they are given as a gift. For others, trying to resist the temptation of acquiring these types of objects once they have accumulated many, unless you are trying to accomplish a modern and cloying rococo style. A couple of ornaments as statues or jars are not damaging but it should always be kept in mind the existence of other more apt decoration objects: paintings are one of them, since they use wall space instead of the little available surface. Mirrors are an ace under the sleeve and the great illusionist trick for they not only amplify light but also multiply spaces. Versailles’ Palace Hall of Mirrors is a great example: the mirrors reproduce the windows in front of them turning themselves into windows that look to the Palace garden. (For mirror fans, mirror furniture is also widely available in today’s markets) Many times it is considered inevitable to associate fashion and design with frivolity and shallowness, above everything because of some decorators that we may see on TV that use words as “gorgeous”, “fantastic” or “fabulous” repeatedly. Yet, we must understand that interior design can also be seen as a means to reach “inner peace”: zen and feng shui trends account for the faith in interior design to induce mental states. Without being extremists, and without stating that interior design will solve all our problems (including the mental ones), we are going to accept, with naturalist writers, that the surroundings determines the individual. Since we are already influenced enough by society, family, education –or the lack of it-, religion, the media and well, the spatiotemporal place that we occupy (always remembering that we are born into a system and a state of things that is imposed to us and that is very difficult to change), the only place where we can choose what to do and how to do it with absolute freedom is in our homes, our inviolable private and intimate spaces. |
