Sensory decoration: the trend that will sharpen the senses
In addition to vision, the sensory environment is a feast for the senses and this has everything to do with decoration. Check out!
Coming home and stepping on a plush rug or smelling freshly washed sheets is like a hug in the heart. Our home stimulates our senses and, most of the time, brings the comfort and welcome that everyday life takes away from us. With this in mind, sensory decoration was conceived, an interior design trend that aims to sharpen the senses of residents and visitors through decoration.
Then that's it? A decoration that, in addition to being beautiful, stimulates the five senses: sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste? Exactly. With sensory decor, no one enters or leaves the house without being enraptured by some sensory stimuli. In addition to vision, the sensory environment is a feast of the senses, which can influence our mood completely, as the sensations are reflected in our state of mind.
feast of the senses
tact
Some elements of the decor can calm us down quickly, such as the textures of pillows, rugs, sofa blankets and even some coverings. Waking up and stepping on a hardwood floor is certainly more satisfying than finding yourself on a cold floor.
Walls made of bricks, pebbles or rough materials also contribute to the sensory decoration. In addition to terrariums and those zen gardens, which, in addition to decorating, help to de-stress.
Smell
Smell is the leading sense when we talk about affective memory. That's because it makes a direct bridge between a smell and a feeling. In sensory decoration, the sense of smell enters the scene through diffusers, air fresheners and scented candles, which perfume the environment with delicate and striking aromas. Plants also fulfill their role, especially in spring, when they are most fragrant. Having vases with rosemary, mint, basil and lavender at home is an invitation to the feast of smell. Plants are also pleasing to the eye, as their green brings us to welcome and tranquility.
Vision
Talking about the sense of vision in decoration may seem like rain to many people, but it is not. Although it is the most provoked sense in decoration in general, in sensorial decoration, vision is sharpened through unusual colors and formats.
Colored walls are good options to highlight the environment, with different textures, geometric shapes or landscape images. Have you ever thought about going into a room in the house and coming across a large waterfall stuck on the wall? The feeling of peace and tranquility will arise in the heart in the same second. For this, wallpapers and wall stickers are excellent, as the application is simple and does not make a lot of mess.
Colored furniture also has its place, not to mention objects that sharpen vision with the train of colors. For this, anything goes, both pillows and blankets, ornaments, rugs and flowers, which bring life to the rooms, harmonized with neutral colors.
Hearing
The sound of rain soothes even the most agitated hearts, but most of the auditory stimuli we are exposed to during the day are not relaxing at all. They put us on alert and leave us on edge. The street noises, such as motorcycles, cars and horns, are already unpleasant, and there is also screaming from the little ones, dog barking and sound cars, which stress any sensitive ear.
In urban homes, sensory decoration is very important, mainly to calm our hearing a little. After all, our home is where the heart rests. Therefore, a water fountain plays a key role in this decoration trend, or a bamboo wind messenger, which has a very pleasant and relaxing sound. Thus, when the wind enters the house, it will have its presence announced in a very pleasant way.
The ambient music cannot be missed, as it is a direct passport to happiness and raises the vibration of the environment. An aquarium can be a key item in sensory decor, which achieves both vision and hearing at once. Who doesn't like to hear the rustle of leaves on a tree on a cool day? That's why plants are wildcards, as they sharpen sight, smell and also hearing.
taste
Anyone who doesn't know how a decoration can sharpen the palate has never drooled just by seeing a cake on the table, or a candy inside the compote, at grandma's house. For the kitchen, a good idea to sharpen the palate is the use of warm colors, which make us want to eat. These colors can be used punctually, with the use of red or orange on a wall, furniture, appliances, chairs, dishes or towels.
A fruit bowl filled with ripe and appetizing fruits, placed under the kitchen counter or on the dining table, will bring visual comfort and will also please the palate. It's that story of eating with your eyes, so it's also worth chocolates in beautiful glass boxes or compote.
But not only eating lives the taste. It is no wonder that people decorate their homes with wine cellars and bars. For those who don't want to invest in a wine cellar, the tip is to set up a little drinks corner, which includes a wine kit , other drinks, aromatic herbs, beautiful glasses and glasses. For coffee lovers, the tip is the coffee corner, which makes your mouth water just looking at it, with cups, a coffee machine and the most fragrant and tasty bean in Brazil.
Another smart tip is to bet on fruitful plants or herbs to compose an environment and sharpen the taste. Have you ever seen a mini cranberry tree? In addition to being beautiful, they produce one of the most delicious berries there is. A basil or mint plant encourages the production of a delicious recipe, like pesto. While a small tomato plant will produce cherry tomatoes, which will shine in salads.
