Metamorphosis. How to change the interior with accessories? In my professional practice, from time to time I meet an undecided client who would like to change something in his current environment. He is unable to specify his desires, often stands at an emotional crossroads, does not know the budget, but… wants a change. At the same time, the memories associated with the apartment and the extremely personal attitude towards it limit his imagination and intentions.

For reasons unknown outside of marketing, each year Pantone announces the Color of the Year, which is to set trends in fashion and interior design. Although it is basically a pointless action, because it is difficult to imagine changing the home furnishings or the colors of the walls every year. However, it is some of these messages that penetrate the imagination with the help of the ubiquitous media and allow the interior "interview" to begin with the issue of color.

In the interview, the client emphasizes that he would like to "change the color a little". How far would these changes go? - he is not sure, but allows "changing the color of the walls". However, it can be assumed with high probability that it is not about the effect we see in the photos

but rather a single element: a pouffe, a sofa, an armchair - which will act as an accent in a strong color. It will not ruin the budget, it will not turn everything on its head, and it will introduce an element of the desired… change.

Color has many names, and it is not necessarily red or green. Starting a conversation about colors from the edge of black and white, you can get extremely different effects ... Until recently, Black & White was associated with "coolness", "cold atmosphere" and generally it was necessary to escape from them in a haven of safe beige and earth colors, and after a decade of hard work of architects and stylists in "new beige" or gray. The availability of online guides, Westwing, Homebook, and in particular Pineterst, took the level of conversation not only about color to a higher level - an infinitely large photo library expands the imagination, increases the effectiveness of argumentation and positively influences the stylistic diversification of the created interiors.

It is interesting that using the same colors you can achieve completely different results - B&W means different styles and a wide range of moods - from Glamor in the style of classic Chanel elegance to modest Scandi and Loft. By juggling white and black, you can get interiors of a completely different character and - which is not without significance - in an extremely different budget.
Now let us discuss the Basic Props in the process of transformation. With a minor renovation of the apartment, it can be assumed that the layout of the walls, permanent architectural elements, floors, kitchen, bathroom, wardrobe will not change and the Investor will expect a cosmetic modification from us by replacing a few movable elements. Small, portable in the scale of the entire undertaking, relatively inexpensive props come to the rescue. Effective fabrics in the interior, i.e.
pillows with a pattern and color different than before, a rug casually thrown over the sofa and a colorful carpet.
Pictures, photos and posters are a way to use the walls stripped of old decorations. Digital printing allows you to reproduce photos in color from your iPhone, and online libraries offer a large collection of works by young artists. This creates the possibility of individualizing the interior, showing sensitivity to art and culture, and generally enhances the aesthetics of the walls.
Metamorphosis- Mission Completed!
The cozy atmosphere will be complemented by a fragrance
candles and scraps and after years of oblivion, a new fashionable vegetation, combined with the bold color of the pouf, sofa or chairs will give the client and the architect the feeling of a job well done!
