THE "MAKE IT FIT" SERIES: INTRODUCTION

 

THE "MAKE IT FIT" SERIES: 

INTRO!!!

Hi folks,

Trust you are doing great and keeping on well.

It's February and I wish you a month filled with greatness and splendour.

I'm delighted to have your audience as always, more so as I launch a new series for the month, where I share insights on how to make things fit within your space.

The inspiration for The "MAKE IT FIT" 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.

There are a couple of principles that come to play when making things fit within spaces, however for the sake of time limit and the need for simplicity, I will be dwelling on just 3 of them throughout this series πŸ‘‡


#1: 

FORM/ SHAPES


If you have ever tried placing a round peg in a square hole, then you sure have an idea of what a misfit is.

The advent of internet and social media has birthed what I call a 'copy and paste' syndrome, where time is hardly taken to analyze the elements in one space before they are replicated in another.

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

Please ensure you follow through



#2: 

PROPORTION

Proportion refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design. The issue is the relationship between objects, or parts, of a whole.

Now it feels like a math class right? πŸ˜€, but allow me simplify this with the screenshot of a food argument I found on reddit.com ☝️πŸ˜€

Whether it's chickenπŸ” and rice 🌾 or rice 🍚 and chicken πŸ—, there is never a one size fit all approach when it comes to proportions in relation to your space.


 

#3: 

BALANCE 


Let's assume your favourite colour is red, and as such you have pepper red paint on your walls, oxblood fabric all over your sofa, with burgundy floor covering to round it up πŸ˜€. Come of it!!

The place of balance can never be undermined in creating amazing spaces, hence the need to pay attention to both related and unrelated elements joining forces to make spaces great.

So all through The "MAKE IT FIT" series, I hope to help you establish an instict for form, proportion and balance within your living and working spaces.

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings πŸ‘‡ #1:  FRENCH Γ‰TAGÈRE πŸ—£️/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "1ST IMPRESSIONS" SERIES: POINTS OF ENTRY

THE  "FIRST  IMPRESSIONS"  SERIES: POINTS OF  ENTRY Hi peeps, Trust you are doing great and I guess you are getting down on your goals for the year. As I take up the series for the month, I sympathize with victims of the California wildfires, I pray that peace abounds within your walls πŸ™ Now to the subject of the day; First Impressions I'm quite confident the concept of first Impression is not alien to my ever intelligent audience and at some points you have all impressed and have been impressed in some ways. If I may ask, at what points do impressions happen? Of course multiple answers will suffice and they can all be correct, however one answer we would all agree with is "POINTS OF ENTRY" Ask well travelled executives or diplomats and they would reveal that points of entry like airports, hotel reception etc goes a long way in helping them predict the potential outcomes of their endeavors in an environment. So how do you maximize points of entry to create a go...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME" SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean πŸ‘‡   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago πŸ’­πŸ€” Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) πŸ™ˆ Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
