It’s all in the Details

I think it is important to create your bedroom with details that reflect yourself. Detail is all about pleasure. On the level of enjoyment, it embraces wit, surprise and personal expression: the imagination in free play. Things exist purely for their own sake – a bowl of lemons, a bunch of fragrant flowers, photographs of family and friends, and paintings – add pure joy in small doses and life would be much poorer without them.
 
Objects that are embedded with a sense of place and authenticity. It is not a quality that can be simulated or imposed; it’s personal and comes naturally when you have the courage of your convictions, when you select what you really like and “go to the end of your feelings.” It takes a leap of faith to buy or display what really moves you, but the result will give you pleasure on a daily basis and imbue your room with your personality. The most important details of all are those that make your room yours and not anyone else’s. They are the things that remind you of where you’ve been , what you’ve done whom you’ve known and loved.
