MONSOON MAGIC AT HOME
Relive the rain and its magic within the confines of your homes, this monsoon
While the rain showers magically transform dry earth into a beautiful bed of living green outdoors, you can create some monsoon magic at home by making some inspiring changes in your house decor.
Particularly on a day or days when you are confined indoors due to a heavy downpour, getting creative and crafty with your home ambience can bring in pleasant transformation in the energy around. Here are some ideas you may like to explore: Get The Picture: Rhea Sethi, a young aspiring designer recalls, “A couple of years ago, one rainy day, I just started going around my house taking pictures on my handycam.
Later, I looked at the pictures as if a guest would be viewing my house and the exercise opened my eyes to oddly placed furniture, too much empty space on the walls, all sorts of things that could be improved upon!“ Chappals and Shoes In A Tray! You can bid adieu to the yucky sight of wet shoes and slippers at your entrance every monsoon by making an aesthetic shoe tray near the main door. Procure a large tray. Fill it up with pretty pebbles, rocks and stones. Let it sit by your entrance.
Now, the shoes and chappals will not create and unsightly puddle, as they stand in the nice looking tray. Although, the water drains through the stones to the bottom and eventually evaporates, it is advisable to clean the tray periodically.
Jazz Up An Old Pail: Get crafty and decorate an old bucket or plastic bin using colours, odds and ends and lots of imagination. Once you are done, you will have an unique umbrella holder to place wet and dripping umbrellas in and also to adorn your doorway with.
Dress Up A Wall: The grey outdoors may well be reflecting your mood if you have just the bare wall to stare at on a rain swept day.
Here are some suggestions: Look through your kitchen cabinet. Are there some pretty decorative plates? If yes, then there is no law that prohibits you from using them as your wall embellishments! Rummage through the box or drawer where you store festive home decorations.
Become aware that some festive ornaments make nice wall adornments whenever and for however long you like.
Celebrate the rains with wreaths, torans and other artistic wall hangings.Bring out the rug, prayer mat or tapestry you have kept safely.
Experiment with displaying these on a bare wall. The intricate design, pattern and colours may liven up not just the wall but the feel of an entire room.
Unroll the large map lying in some corner of your house and fix it on the wall.
Maps make great wall accents and often aid communication.
Looking at the map guests at home are inclined to talkabout their travels or travel plans or something related to some place out there, et al.
Check out your wall art. Make adjustments where necessary. Any interior designer will tell you how hanging an artwork at a right height and in right configuration can impact the overall aesthetics of a space.
Clear The Clutter: Use the unexpected holiday to get rid of junk at home.
Add An Element Of Surprise: Discover how introducing some surprise element in the décor of a room or house shifts the energy of the space.
Place a thing in an unexpected place, like an old ladder in the living room with books, magazines or other odds and ends displayed on its steps, or arrange flowers in an old shoe etc.
Shifting a piece of furniture or fixture from one place to another can alter the look of a space and add a touch of surprise. Let your house experience the magic of your creativity this monsoon.
