What the interior of our apartment says about us

By what signs are they not judged about a person's character: by the style of clothing, by the color of the eyes, by belonging to one or another sign of the zodiac, and even by who his friends are. Undoubtedly, eating habits and favorite music can tell a lot about a particular person, as well as the place in which she lives.

The color of the walls, lined with statuettes or, conversely, empty shelves, as well as heavy curtains on the windows - all this characterizes a person no worse than the answers to the questions of the psychological test from the "know yourself" series.

Have you ever thought that there is something in common between psychologists and interior designers? Both those and others are able to tell a lot about their clients. Psychologists learn about other people's fears and complexes when they heal souls during sessions, and designers just need to hear the client's wishes regarding the color of the wallpaper and the location of the furniture - and the person appears before them, in full view. Agree, it is very convenient to be able to correctly interpret certain solutions in the interior and learn through them about the character of the person you are interested in. For example, this ability can come in handy when you first find yourself in the apartment of a man you like - you looked at the curtain in the bathroom, and it immediately became clear what kind of person was waiting for you in bed. Of course, in reality everything is not so simple and unambiguous, but the walls, ceiling and furniture can still tell about something.

The creative person is a creative mess

Things not always scattered on the floor, as well as clothes hanging out of place on the back of the sofa, indicate that the owner of the apartment is a typical slob. Perhaps you have become a guest in the house of a super-creative person, gushing with brilliant ideas. As a rule, such people simply have neither the time nor the desire for boring cleaning and folding clothes into neat piles. Pay attention to the interior items: if you see something unusual and eye-catching, then you can be sure that the owner of the apartment is a creative person, and also, most likely, kind and responsive.

By the way, as for color solutions, such people often choose bright wallpapers and decorative elements (pillows, curtains, vases, etc.). They like to combine incongruous and find unusual uses for common things.

Self-centered bouncers

Those who strive to shout about their merits at every corner, as a rule, fill the apartment with non-standard trinkets (which are not even worth talking about) and newfangled furniture arranged in a chaotic manner. They will never forget to display their vacation photos, diplomas and all kinds of awards in the most prominent place. They are ready to spend hours answering guests' questions “what is it with you?”, Telling not only about the item itself, but also about the circumstances under which it was received or purchased. Pretentious decor, too expensive equipment - all this often indicates that a person is boastful, egocentric and ambitious. Of course, you shouldn't confuse an obviously wealthy person with someone who only wants to create the appearance of well-being. The latter, as a rule, loudly declare their alleged solvency, while the former, on the contrary, prefer to tactfully remain silent.

Calm, only calm

Balanced people who value home comfort choose muted soft colors in the interior. In their apartment, you will not see defiant wallpaper with scarlet roses or a sofa in the form of red lips, as in the Salvador Dali Museum Theater.

Light blue, pale pink, olive, beige - these are the colors that can be found in the house of calm family men.

As for furniture, most of them choose practical interior items made of high-quality and safe materials that can serve for many, many years and be inherited by their grandchildren. They are prone to stability, and therefore the pursuit of fashion and bold design decisions are not for them.

Order comes first

A rational person who appreciates punctuality and the ability to think logically in those around him will not allow his apartment to look like a dump of unnecessary things. Order always reigns in his house, each object knows its place. As for the color scheme, then there is no need to think about it for a long time - such people, as a rule, choose a monochrome interior. They don't need a riot of color - it distracts from important thoughts and creates a feeling of chaos. And it is chaos that scares most of all those whose whole life is one continuous schedule.

When we create the interior design of our apartment, we put a piece of ourselves into this process. And it is not surprising that the walls of our house can sometimes tell much more about us than our closest friend. But here's what's interesting: not only we influence the environment, it is also capable of bringing something new into our life. Therefore, if you are passionate about change, start with your home - you will see that changes in the interior will naturally affect you yourself.
