An apartment with character

My boss, a pleasant lady in all respects, has a lot of life experience and a psychologist's education. She assures that as soon as she visits an apartment and looks around a little, the character of her owner becomes clear. If people tell about themselves only what they want, then their home reveals everything, even those qualities that the owners would like to hide.

“Hippocrates in the sixth century BC divided people into four groups by temperament!” Says this friend of mine. “What is character? An expression of this very temperament. and we don't even notice how much the apartment looks like ourselves."

For phlegmatic characterized by slowness, conservatism and the desire for stability. And all this will definitely be reflected in the interior of his apartment. Phlegmatic person surrounds himself with things reliable, strong, time-tested. His life should be orderly, so the apartment will have a lot of wardrobes, cabinets, shelves. He will find a permanent place for every thing.

Of the wood species, a phlegmatic person, be it a woman or a man, will prefer oak. In such an apartment, you will find old photographs in good-quality frames, and a neatly dried bouquet of flowers. Lighting phlegmatic will prefer soft, diffuse. Luminaires of classic shapes. And from the color scheme, they will most likely choose muted blue-green shades. In such a house it is quite comfortable, you can feel the stability and calmness of the owner.

Phlegmatic person will decorate the apartment with all sorts of beautiful and pleasant things to use: dishes, paintings, candlesticks, flowers. Phlegmatic it is very difficult to switch from one type of activity to another, to adapt to a new environment. The most important thing for them is habit and peace.

The melancholic builds an apartment-fortress. This is a very sensitive, vulnerable type. He is constantly afraid of something, and perceives the house as a refuge, a quiet haven. Melancholic people are usually sentimental. They keep a large number of old photographs, memorabilia that they do not want to part with.

The colors in their homes are usually shades of yellow, ranging from subtle yellow to beige and brown. Apparently, due to their natural absent-mindedness, they often select shades that are not the most suitable for each other, assorted furniture. In their spirit, make a mess in the apartment and explain it with their "artistic" nature. Melancholic people consider the mess an attribute of the "bohemian" lifestyle. Furniture is preferred without corners, rounded shapes - it looks safe. And of all wood materials, ash will be chosen: this tree is most suitable for such an impressionable and discouraging type.

If you find yourself in a house where everything is radiant with energy, its owner is probably sanguine. These people love bright, spacious apartments. They can have any style in the house, but there will always be a place for light in it. Sanguine people are always ready to expand the space, combine rooms, demolish partitions. Lots of glass, mirrors, shiny metal. The furniture will most likely be of lightweight construction.

Sanguine colors choose bright, juicy, cheerful. Energetic reds, oranges, cheerful yellow-greens or pure, spacious blue-and-white combinations.

The choleric has an interior, like himself, extravagant and rapidly changing. More often than not, a choleric house is an extraordinary mixture of styles. He is bored with calm shades, he prefers bright, exciting combinations: red-black, dark purple with yellow. The best furniture for him is modular. Then he can rearrange it from place to place. An impetuous character requires a lot of space, and it is difficult for a choleric person if everything is crammed with furniture. But he will definitely install various intricate gizmos in a prominent place. Choleric people are fickle, they can invest large sums of money in creating a super-fashionable, bright interior, in order to soon get bored in it and start dreaming of a “small cozy apartment”.

Having guessed the temperament of the landlord, you will more easily understand him.

For example, you will know that the constant pessimism and seemingly unreasonable fears of your melancholic friend are not just whims, but the consequences of being overly impressionable. Therefore, if you want to please him, donate light, airy watercolors with optimistic motives.

Having recognized a choleric person, you should take into account that you should not get in his way - he is easily offended. He considers something bright and non-standard to be the best addition to the interior.

On phlegmatic you can rely, especially if you do not disturb his peace. Do not give him personal and intimate things - he may be offended.

Sanguine people are special, energetic, easy-going people. They are reliable, helpful people. Just don't give them big things. The sanguine needs space.

Of course, pure temperaments are rare. Each of us has traits of different types, but usually something prevails. And the interior, like a mirror, reflects all the features of the character. It remains only to see them and understand its owner.

Our entire female team, as well as several men who joined, listened to the boss and began to remember how the apartments of our acquaintances looked. It turned out that the rights of the headmistress - it seems that a person's character is really reflected in the peculiarities of the interior in his house.
