The items we choose to decorate our homes tend to reveal a great deal about how we look at the world. For most of us, this is incidental; we just pick out the things that we like the look of, and that we think would match nicely with our existing décor. But have you ever wondered what these choices might be revealing about your unconscious mind? Let’s examine the issue a little more closely.
Tidy Desk, Tidy Mind
You’ve probably heard it said that a lot of clutter spread across a workspace is evidence of a scatter-brained, disorganized person. And to a certain extent, this is true. But only if the clutter in question has been lying there for days or weeks on end.
If you’re exceptionally busy, you might find that you have a constant stream of stuff working its way across your desk – but if none of it stays there for very long, it might just mean that you’re maintaining an extremely busy work life. You can make this a little bit easier for yourself with the help of the right home storage. A fitted wardrobe by Hammonds makes it simple to stow away those non-essential items until they’re needed.
Quality where it matters
We don’t all have limitless budgets to draw upon, and therefore we all have to balance different priorities when furnishing our homes. But there are some items of furniture that deserve a little bit more investment. You spend more than a third of your life in bed, so it only makes sense to buy a high-quality bed. The same is true, to a lesser extent, of the sofa in your living room and the cooker in your kitchen – these are important items that warrant extra attention. Quality here indicates a person who’s aware of their priorities.
Bright or Reserved?
Your choice of color scheme probably offers the most obvious insight into your personality. If you’ve picked a bright red for your living area, you might be a person with a passionate streak who likes boldness and vibrancy in their home. If you’ve gone instead for something pale and grey, you’re probably more reserved.
Room for Guests
If your home is built to accommodate extra people, then it may be evidence of your outgoing, welcoming personality. If, on the other hand, there’s only one chair in your living room, then the chances are that you prefer to keep to yourself.
Functional Kitchen
The kitchen is among the most important rooms in the home. If you’ve invested heavily in making yours functional as well as great to look at, then it’s probably the case that you’re concerned about the quality of the foods you eat. You might be a fitness fanatic who insists on getting ten servings of fruit and veg a day; or, on the other hand, you might simply love to bake cakes for your friends!
