Walls… the forgotten element.

Happy New Year!

And… we’re back. So I’m a nerd and I’ve been thinking about mimes a lot lately. I mean, a lot. Maybe it’s their lack of words to achieve understanding. Vow of silence in my future? Doubt it. Actually it’s the mime’s first trick that appeals to me most, establishing walls around themselves. Perhaps because my area of expertise lies in interior design and most of my creative expression occurs within four walls.

In my quest to reinvent interiors, walls have been my obsession as of late. Generally when people think of interiors, they try to figure out how much stuff they can possibly cram into a space, and the walls (ceiling and floor included) are usually an afterthought. After rearranging my apartment recently, I’ve been thinking about ways to create the illusion of a well thought out room, but in a 2-dimensional way instead of 3. Stay with me. When people think of walls, they think about colors to paint them, where to hang art, and that’s about it when it comes to the vertical spaces. You might see a shelf here or there, but largely wall space is not maximized. And with my new vision, belongings could be mostly an illusion… on the wall! Let me illustrate my point.

That’s where all the photos above came from and they have some really ingenious ways of utilizing all surfaces flat. Very affordable too, I might add. Keep your eyes out for options labeled re-stik, a re-usable option!

See you around the way!
