Read what astrologer Monica Kissling says about this month: in May, we can bask in beautiful memories. The stars awaken nostalgic feelings and carry us off into a dream world. Venus, the goddess of beauty and aesthetics, and Neptune, the planet of fantasy and dreams, will inspire your creativity enormously.
Hence, these are ideal conditions for redesigning your living environment, an favourable moment we should seize to create our personal oasis of well-being – and why not with objects and items that remind us of the good (old) times.
Our daily environment not only lives from feel-good factors, but also from our individual personalities and stories. Is it not so that the “links” to our roots are reflected in family heirlooms such as an antique chest of drawers, a cupboard or even a Biedermeier sofa or armchair? However, such ‘out-of-time’ furnishings are often difficult to combine and simply won’t fit in our present settings properly.
Still: the emotions behind them do not let go of us and so these pieces of furniture are relegated to a lonely existence out of our sight, somewhere in a cellar or in a lost corner – and yet: grandpa loved this armchair so much! Big occasions such as a birthday, a wedding or a company anniversary can also end up with unspeakably useless gifts: where to put them? How can we stage these objects in the right way so that we can still enjoy them, also because they nourish us with the positive energy linked to our memories? These are precisely the emotions which spur and inspire our hearts and give us those nostalgic feelings. Now, in the month of May.
I wish you in any case many heartwarming moments!
STAGE YOUR MEMORIES
How and where to start?
Antique items and memorabilia are difficult to combine because they often have their own aesthetic message. The best way to succeed is to take them completely out of context and stage them as individual pieces. This way, relooked with a shabby chic glaze and a crazy fabric cover, grandfather’s old armchair can bring new joy to your home. A Bauhaus armchair too, placed in purist surroundings, can also bring forth completely new visual aspects.
At Go Interiors, we love to stage individual family pieces in an individual living environment, thus anchoring identity and positive emotions for the people who live there. This results in unique realizations that will give you pleasure for years to come, whether with grandmother’s cutlery or with a self-made clay figure.
Family photos too, combined on a wall of inspiration, are perfect nostalgia mediators, especially when in black and white, presented in modern frames and arranged in a clear structure: then they become a true eye-catcher with added value!
