You have taste: interior items that speak of the good taste of their owners
How can you tell just by looking at the furnishings of an apartment whether its owner has a sense of taste or not? Some household and decorative items will tell you about it.
If you want to be known as a person with elegant, refined taste, then you should add the following things to your home.
The first is textiles made from natural materials. Cotton, linen, wool, even rough burlap, which is valued in the marine and country styles, look much better and more natural than cheap polyester and other synthetics.
Moreover, the indicator of taste in this case is not bright and embroidered items, but modest, single-color items.
Identical towels in the bathroom, light curtains on the windows, a simple rug by the sofa - all this will indicate that you are a person who prefers practical modesty to cheap luxury.
The second is the abundance of natural materials in the furnishings. What looks more impressive in the eyes of an outsider and creates a good impression of the hostess: a massive oak table or a light plastic one?
A ceiling covered with polystyrene foam or one that is simply plastered and complemented by a beautiful chandelier with a glass lampshade?
Cheap plastic household items and decor rather indicate that the owners are generally devoid of artistic taste or are simply too economical.
Third - fresh flowers. A person with taste will always prefer real fragrant tulips, daisies and violets to their artificial variations.
Real flowers smell delicious, enliven the interior, and can tell a lot about the inhabitant of the house. At the very least, you will definitely be remembered by guests and those who dropped in for a minute.
Fourth - vases. Live flowers need vases made of "live", natural materials.
Of course, buying antique porcelain vases at an exorbitant price to confirm your artistic taste and craving for beauty is unnecessary, but cheap plastic vases also immediately catch the eye of attentive visitors.
A beautiful glass vase or a vase carved from wood is what you need. Especially interesting are the options that are not bought in a popular home goods store, but made to order.
Fifth - along with the "dishes" for flowers, do not forget about the dishes that you use and that you offer to guests. Original plates, mugs and jugs that you cannot find in stores will speak of good taste.
Where can you find them then? Websites where ceramicists, potters and artists who paint dishes offer their products - there you can find what you are looking for. So you will have a truly individual product in your home, and you will help unknown talented craftsmen to develop.
Sixth - the same can be done with paintings/posters for the home. Hanging reproductions of famous paintings on the wall in the bedroom, decorating the door with a poster of the Eiffel Tower, placing in the living room a typical landscape with a meadow or forest, which are sold in a lot of salons - all this speaks of bad taste and stereotyped thinking.
A drawing that a talented artist you know will draw for you at your request, based on your mood and understanding of what kind of image you would like to see, will be much more interesting and unusual.
And seventhly, you can demonstrate your taste without buying antiques in salons and auctions. Just add something to the room's decor that previously belonged to your relatives.
The sewing machine your grandmother used to sew dresses on, your father's favorite records, postcards that your family was congratulated with on holidays over the years - all of this will definitely find a place in the living room or bedroom. A person's ability to carefully and respectfully treat the history of their family is also a sign of taste.
