Many of us have surely experienced the feeling of investing in new decoration pieces or even changing the color of a space without it seeming to have made much of a difference, as the sensation of not being able to fully relax in the living room or concentrate in the office persists. Here are some reasons why sometimes nothing seems to work. Read before making more unstrategic purchases:

“Beautiful” decoration sometimes has an “ugly” side!

Did you know that some of the objects you use to decorate and make your spaces cozier can actually be making you (and your family or team) sick? The truth is that when it comes to furniture, paints, wallpaper, or even small decorative objects, rarely do the packaging or the websites of the companies that produce and sell them provide all the information about the materials they are made of, how they were produced, and the impact they can have on our health. By learning some simple tricks (and with the help of a qualified professional), it is possible to make better choices that combine aesthetics and well-being!

“Beautiful” decoration goes out of style, and it’s not always an ally of our goals and lifestyle

A very common mistake is to buy trendy decoration pieces (which often do not meet the functional needs of the spaces or our personal taste). Ideally, before choosing the decor (or buying more), it is essential to look at the space and understand its potential and constraints. There are several questions that can help you: who will use this room? What will they use it for? And at what time of day? What are their preferences, tastes, and needs? Once these questions (and solutions) are thought out, then it is time to understand what already exists, what should stay, and what is actually missing to give a special touch to the space in question!

Decoration is a good complement, not the foundation of a space

No one ever started building the roof without the foundations finished! With space decoration, it’s exactly the same: it should be the last step in a process that needs to start well and ensure that functionality and health are also taken into account. It doesn’t help to have a desk lamp in your favorite color if you haven’t first thought about the ideal bulbs to make the lighting in your space enhance your concentration, make you look good on work video calls, and give you real desire to work in this division. It is essential to first think about creating the ideal conditions to make the most of each space, and then, yes, personalize them and make them more to our liking.
