Expectations when decorating

While deciding the tone or nature of a room, there are some expectations or images in mind about what a room should or shouldn’t look like. There is always a sense of motivation about having these expectations met. The interest to imagine or expect what a room should look like gives enough inspiration to practically work on them. It doesn’t just finish here. Pleasure and a sense of control follow it.

Control

The modern age has given man many ways to accomplish his many options. But, none of the methods is free from obstacles. As much as he wants to prevent those obstacles from getting in his way, they can't be avoided. And it leads to a loss of control over his life. In contrast, decorating gives a sense of power by deciding which element or accessory will go or fit into which space or area.  

Home sweet home

This phrase doesn’t come out of nowhere and without reason. Imagine working in the office the whole day, interacting with all types of people and their different behaviors, following the schedule, orders, and rules given by the boss, dealing with that traffic jam you want to escape but can't; what is the next thing you want? Does the thought of going into the house where everything is in YOUR control intrigue you? Home is undoubtedly considered heaven.

Possibilities

Decorating a house or a room gives a never-ending list of options or possibilities. The list goes on, from choosing between wallpaper or paint for the walls to deciding what flowers that vase should contain. And it gives people something to think about besides the anxieties and tensions of the world. Upon entering a home decor store, there might be things that were a perfect choice for the type of vibe needed. But mixing different kinds of things, some antiques corresponding perfectly to the color of the modern-looking rug, could bring that “wow” factor.

Comfort zone

Living within comfort zone and boundaries and never trying something new takes all the fun in life. Decoration can give people something they can always try without fearing failure. Mixing up colors you never imagined to be together and playing with different patterns and textures provides a room with its charm.

Stories/ Memories

Every piece of furniture or decor tells its story, whether it is because of its price tag or location. Putting that lamp beside the sofa; so, reading books can be comfortable, hanging that neon sign on the wall to catch the attention it deserves, or that beautiful blue vase on the high shelf instead of the nightstand; so, your cat can not break it into pieces. These stories become memories as time goes on.

Pleasure

When the tone, color, vibe, furniture, and feel of a room are met with your expectations, there comes the pleasure. The pleasure when a particular task is completed, just the way it was supposed to be completed, hits differently. But the story does not end here. As long as the thinking continues, the possibilities of ideas go on. Every color and texture can be interconnected. And remember, nothing looks good or bad; it is just the thinking that makes it.
