A private wellness corner, a small reading nook, a place where you can just plop down on the floor to relax in a beanbag chair and the other plethora of spaces we create to make ourselves comfortable, are things we can’t do without.
The modern home has gone from being a symbol of our style and pursuits in life to being comforting, then rigid and cold, and now back to being comfortable again. It seems like we’re approaching a full circle because we want more symbolic things in our homes again.
We’ve starved ourselves so much of style, that the meaning behind our choices has almost been forgotten. Do you know why you have an area rug? Do you know why you have a wooden dining table? Why do you have neutral walls? Without symbols, we lack stylistic cohesion.
A case for knowledge
In the Victorian Era of interior design, the bookcase became one of the central items in the home. This magnificent piece of decor was seen as a mark of the man of the house. What kind of books you stored, showed guests what kind of things you were interested in. It was a subtle and humble way of expressing who you are.
Now, the bookcase is making its mighty return. Only this time, it’s not in the classic earth tone brown, but it’s any color you want. Pastel blue and pink are quite popular, as is ghost white neutral. The style of the bookcase is totally up to you, but one thing is for certain, make it noticeable. Some of the best tall, maze-style bookcases in the world are made by Snake.
The top hat
In the modern home, the roof plays a large role in the overall style. Guests perceive that your home is strong when you have a roof that looks like a top hat. What does this mean? It has to be tall, strong yet still intricate and shapely. Erie Metal Roofing fits this bill to a tee. They make metal shingles, far tougher than the asphalt competitor. They also give you a choice of color and style. Many of the best homes have roofs that have a dimensional acute angle and a roof color that distinguishes their home. The sharper angle, quickly drains the rainwater off the roof, preventing the wind from using it as a battering ram. Metal also doesn’t expand and contract as much as asphalt, so your roof will be a lot quieter as well.
Large swooping comfort
One of the only one-piece items in a contemporary home is the bathtub. A high-quality marble bathtub is expensive, but its head and shoulders above ceramic and copper baths. It’s also a very tough durable and scratch-resistant material. Naturally, it’s one of the best symbols of strength and style in the home. The weight and size of the marble will act as a gravity well, demanding respect in your bathroom. When we’re tired and aching, a marble bathtub is just the kind of comforting strength we seek.
