THE "MAKE IT FIT" SERIES 2: 

LET'S 

TALK FORM!!

Hi there,

I guess you are having an amazing weekend and working towards showing some love this valentine 💞

I introduced a new series for the month in my last post, titled The "MAKE IT FIT" series, with the intention to share insights on how to make things fit within your space.

As a reminder, the series is born out of my encounter with spaces costing a fortune to set up, yet failing to make a mark simply because the occupants never paid attention to the importance of making things fit.

The objective of this series is therefore to help my audience avoid similar mistakes as I help you identify and understand basic principles that come to play when making things fit within your spaces.

I will be addressing 3 of these principles starting with Form or Shape, and using 3 illustrations as follows 👇


#1: 

OWN THE LAYOUT OF YOUR SPACE 

This is extremely unlike me but please permit me to take a line from a song by the legendary rapper 2PAC  


🎹🎶


"That's just the way it is


Things will never be the same


That's just the way it is


Aww yeah!!!"


🎹🎶💃🕺😂


If you are old or young enough to know this song, congratulations 👏😀

I needed this song to buttress the point that "no two spaces are exactly the same, even if they appear so". Not yours and your next door neighbours', and definitely not the ones you crave for on the internet.

So what's the way forward?

Always ask for a floor plan for any space you are setting up.



#2: 

KNOW 

YOUR NEEDS

If you have followed the Consult Kenny posts well enough, you would know I'm an advocate for functional spaces.

The simple secret to any functional space is the ability to infuse the needs of the occupier with the dynamics of the space.

For instance a long and narrow hallway, like the one in the picture attached, is almost always perfect for an art gallery, whereas the same would most likely be a disaster for a restaurant.


#3:

ASK 

FOR HELP

Perhaps you have always thought all spaces are square, or you just cannot place your head around the points above, then I strongly recommend you ask for help 😊

Truth be told, our abilities to identify different layouts, forms or shapes of spaces differ from person to person and it will be wrong to make you feel bad if you are having struggles finding your way around this. 

So in situations like this it will be good to get in touch with professionals like myself who will help you make the best of your space.

It's totally okay to ask for help!!!


In my next post, I will be addressing the concept of PROPORTION and how it applies to your space.

Please ensure you follow through.

THE "SHARE WITH ME" SERIES: LET'S GO SUSPENDED!!!

Hi folks, Trust you are doing great. We are 10 days into June already, one can only hope the days ahead gets better. In my last post I kicked off The "Share with Me" series with the intention to remedy issues around the effect of inflation on cost of furniture pieces around here in Nigeria. I equally rolled out products at highly discounted prices owing to my bargain with partner vendors, as I take advantage of bulk order on behalf of interested audience. I appreciate everyone who made enquires and placed order for Inauguration table and Subsidy bed 🙏🏼. This time around let's take up suspended and collapsible furniture pieces as I roll out more offers in my post today 👇🏼: *#3: SUSPENDED WARDROBE* Coincidentally in the course of the week, suspension was a major highlight in the news back here in Nigeria (I didn't mention names you know 😀). So I thought about proposing a suspended wardrobe for audiences with limited space and budget. This furniture piece can be cus

INTRO!!!  Hi folks, guess you are good. It's 11 months into 2023 already. Happy New Month to you all, it's going to be a blissful month for you and I. If you have been following the Consult Kenny posts for a while, I have no doubt you have gained insights on matters relating to your space at one point or the other, I mean that's what I'm here for. The objective of the Consult Kenny brand goes beyond stimulating knowledge as my job is not deemed complete until I help you HAVE OR EXPERIENCE what you KNOW OR LEARN on this platform, and that's where the KNOW IT | HAVE IT agenda hails from, therefore engagement is key to success here.

So I will be approaching this series from 3 a
