A trend that has been growing in the home universe is to decorate your home with memories. Why leave in the trunk what you can lovingly print on the wall? This is the thought of affective decoration, and the pieces can be from old photographs to an object with which you created a connection. The important thing here is to make you feel warm in your heart when you enter the house!
There are not many rules in this style of decoration, but some tips can help you when it comes to giving your home personality. For that old piece of furniture that has been stored in a corner due to the effects of time, there is nothing better than a restoration. In the case of armchairs, it is possible to change the upholstery, the painting and even the fabric, which can be of great help if you want to choose a color that matches the rest of the house. But if your case is the opposite and you actually want to leave your old piece of furniture as the protagonist, it is possible to adapt the environment around it through coatings. They don’t require great effort or breakage to apply and give an ideal retro finish to the proposal.
It is also worth betting on corners: photo corners, travel corners, collection corners… The options are endless. A Gallery Wall is the ideal solution to collect those photographs and drawings that are gathering dust in the drawer.
Remember that the most important thing in affective decoration is to show that the house has a story to tell. In addition, your home should welcome you like your memories, and that’s why it’s important to invest in decoration, architecture and even lighting that make the environment cozy, comfortable and affective. I brought here as an example the project of visual designer Fábio Martinusso, he has numerous collections and decided to display them throughout the house! They are affective objects that are present in your daily life, transforming your house into a real home.
