Decorating For Artist WithinThere is an artist lurking within all of us. The creative fire burns in every human, propelling us to create, to express, to shape world around us. Even though we may be unlearned, or perhaps even unskilled, still urge to impact our environment is so inherent that we do it without even thinking about it. Every twist of magazines on coffee table, every centering of a portrait, every adjustment we make is our inner self yearning to impact world around. By making a conscious effort we can guide these impulses into a form of art that will both beautify our surroundings and strengthen our inner self.
When you decorate, artist does not have to be buried in dark. You can be brave; taking strength from fact that person you are is good and right and what you want is good and right for you. If something sings to your insides then that is right decision.
This does not, however, mean that you are always right. An artist’s concept on inside is perfect, it is only once it has been expressed that it becomes open to fallibility. This is fine. The only way to teach yourself what it is that you want is to experiment with what you think.
Utilize full creativity of your mind when planning a room. Close your eyes and imagine colors. Walk along walls of room, touch them, feel shape of space within. Understand sense of room. Then close your eyes again and find what you want from room. What does that look like? What would be feel in perfect room? Sketch out ideas and keep notes.
