Why should your personality reflect in your Interior?


The Month of July, 2015. I wrote;
This is an interior designer write up you say, why should she want to talk about clothes?
I'm not, I want to talk about having your own personality in your interior design and decoration. I was studying a Vogue Magazine the other day and I observed how fantastic all these models looked in their designer clothe, beautiful jewelries and noticed their faces have been painted so perfectly. They all looked like porcelain dolls wearing shoes that I could never walk in. This struck a cord and reminded me also of interior design magazines. I compare these because they always show the extremes of fashion and design respectively. 
Lets face it, have you ever seen any of your favourite international actresses dress like runway models on their day to day life except for a few instances?. in their normal life all things being equal they dress up relatable?. Even Lady Gaga is no more than a pair of jeans with jacket all designer brands. Runway cloth designs are mostly more to me like exhibitions. Not all displays are spectacular but some pieces sold make up for the losses with others unsold pieces.
I think the same thing applies with interior decorating. We see these beautiful glossy magazines with homes that look too good to be true, and you know what? Most of them are often staged. Even in all some television series and adverts, expensive pieces are mostly borrowed on a mutual benefit. We are not all billionaires. Most homes end up with the jeans and jacket scenario as above. 
Where I am heading to with this criticism is that we need to keep our expectations real for our homes. Getting inspiration from home design and decoration magazines are good ideas but do your pocket. The Magazines are there for our pleasure, entertainment and more futuristic approaches and applications. We all pray for the better. Create a beautiful home that you can afford and make sure it's the best you can be. Design and decorate your home to be you and feel like it's for you. I have noticed a lot of copy and pastes even in some big socialites'homes. Seems weird to me with all the resources. That's why you need a good interior decorator like myself.
You are a lawyer and you love to read, let people see you in your home arrangement and decor. Your home must speak you. You do not have to create a home that looks like Kunle's, your best buddy the engineer. I get a lot of we saw it somewhere which is good but sometimes there are ups and downs to these requests. It's either good or bad for your interior and sometimes it's the conflict of styles, design or already made designs. And sometimes it would work but the budget wouldn't. You have to be you and don't forget, Rome wasn't built in a day. You can always start at your level and take it from there.
Please note, alot of modifications have been made to the 2015 write up. Thanks for reading.

In Reference to this topic- This was the exact write up I wrote seven years ago (7 years). I decided to make reference to it because I myself, I am proud of myself. Going through my old articles made me realise how long the journey is and how much I love what I do. I started writing even before I fully dived into the career path.

Worse Colours for your Bedroom

Let me provide you with a simplified version of the colour scheme explanation: Colours can be categorized into three main groups: cool, bright or warm, and neutrals. Cool colours include green, blue, and certain shades of purple. These colours often evoke a sense of calmness and tranquility. Bright colors consist of red, orange, yellow, and some purples. They are vibrant and energetic, adding excitement to the visual spectrum. Neutrals are colours that are closer to earth tones, such as white, gray, and brown. These colours are often used as a base or background and can create a sense of balance and simplicity. Also, to create a more calming effect, you can mix bright or cool colors with a lot of white, which results in a softer, washed-out colour tone. When it comes to creating a relaxing and soothing ambiance in your bedroom, the colour scheme plays a significant role. The right choice of colours can enhance comfort, promote restful sleep, and contribute to a peaceful atmosphere. Whi
