THE "MISSING LINK" SERIES 2: THE WHY!!


THE 

"MISSING 

LINK"

 SERIES 2: 

THE WHY!!


Hi Guys,

Happy Valentine's Day Celebration, it's lots of love 💕 from me and my team to you.

It's mixed feelings as I look back to my younger years celebrating Valentine's Day, I remember the dating, the gifts and of course the many heartbreaks. I guess you can relate with this.

Now as an adult raising kids, I seem to relate with the version of valentine that's about sacrifice more than the one that just oozes romance.

I should say purpose is the missing link between both versions of the same tale, and this is exactly what plays out in our spaces.

Having an idea of the purpose a space 'should serve' helps solve the problem of misfit and establishes alignment. My post today therefore highlights 3 angles (out of many) from which this can be achieved👇


#1: 

KNOW 

  THYSELF  


Know who is meant to occupy a space. And by this I am not referring to your bio data (gender, age, height).

Like the famous quote by Socrates; "know thyself", spelling out details of your personality, style and preferences before making a move to choose or set up your space is one way to improve your chance of getting it right.

For example knowing you are introverted will help you consider spaces for activities that keep you indoors (reading, movies, cooking), while on the flip side an extroverted person may consider spaces for activities that bring homies into their space (dining, sports).

First seek to know yourself.


#2: 

KNOW

 THE 

TIMING


The time or season of life in which we live also has a lot to do with what's ideal for our spaces per time.

Using a growing family as an example, it's easier to maintain a smaller space for a family with toddlers than it is for one with growing teenagers, why?

The former is in a season of bonding, while the latter is now in a place where everyone is most likely yelling for privacy.

While this claim may be true for many, It's however important to note that the question of what is affordable should override my line of thought in this case

 Albeit be mindful of timing.


#3: 

KNOW 

THE

TREND


I understand you have bias for some elements (let's take wood for example), and perhaps the picture you have for your dream space shows an all wooden space.

The question is, does this concept still apply to existing and emerging trends?

Nothing should stop you from having your preferred elements feature in your space, however there is the need to have an open mind that allows for an infusion of trends.

And here is a note of caution; do not mistake trends for the most popular pictures or adverts online.

THE "SECOND CHANCE" SERIES 2: BEAUTIFUL EXCHANGE!!!

THE  "SECOND  CHANCE"  SERIES 2: BEAUTIFUL EXCHANGE!!! Hello and Happy Easter Peeps, It's that time of the year when we remember and celebrate Divinity taking a second chance on humanity. Coincidentally, the essence of Easter celebration is in complete sync with The "Second Chance" series, where I seek to help my audience take a second chance on some crucial elements within their spaces. My last post aimed at helping you resolve dysfunctional layout, and I'm quite confident you have gained some insights on different shapes of spaces and how to best utilize them. Now let's have a look at what I love to call the "beautiful exchange", a concept of how you can reuse worn out or 'out of fashion' items in your space, making them more appealing, and having a positive impact on your space. I should mention as I proceed that there are several ideas to achieving beautiful exchanges, however I would categorize them into 3 aspects namely 👇 #1: FAC...

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 👇   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago 💭🤔 Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) 🙈 Location: College of Technology, Yaba...

THE 2ND QUARTER- LOVE DON'T COST A THING

Image
  THE  2ND QUARTER: Happy New Month Folks, Trust you are doing great. The 1st quarter of the year is done and dusted and it's amazing how fast it came by. I remember introducing the line up of series for the first 3 months of the year and it still feels like yesterday. Where the objective behind the theme for the 1st quarter (#getdownonit) was to inspire my audience to kick off their aspirations for the year in good time, the theme for the 2nd quarter is more about displacing obstacles hindering you from getting started. The caption "love don't cost a thing", is not just inspired by the title of a popular song by Jennifer Lopez, but also implies this line of thought "what you truly love to do, don't really cost a thing", except that the later caption is too long to catch your attention 😜 I am confident the highlights of series by Consult Kenny Posts for this quarter will not only drive actions but also propel movements in the right direction. So let...
