We always try to say something about ourselves in many different ways. First of all, it is just by talking – we try to be funny, we brag or we just try not to be boring. But there are many non-verbal ways by which we both consciously or subconsciously convey the idea of who we are and what we do. One of them is, for example, body language. You won't believe me when I tell that body language is actually fifty percent of communication. We just need to learn how to read those „signs“ that our body sends, and we will be able to show ourselves in a better light. Another example is how we dress. That is the thing we do consciously. We pick our garments carefully and dress proper to the ways we think and the ways we tend to expose ourselves. For example, people who love rock music will always wear some pieces of clothing that will somehow tell: „Hey, I love Led Zeppelin“, or people who work as lawyers, for example, will wear suit that will say: „Hey, look at me, I am on my way to the courtroom“, and so on... But the thing I want to talk about in this article is actually not connected to dressing yourself, but to decorating your house. After all, your house should best reflect who you are, what you do and what are your attitudes towards certain things.
Our house in the middle of the street
First
of all, let's say that you just moved in and that your house is not in
order at all. There is furniture all over the place and you need to
arrange it. After you have done that, you should consider some “deeper”
decoration. The thing I want to focus on in this article in particular
is how should we fit mosaic as an art in our home, and what will
those mosaics convey about ourselves? But mosaics that I am going to
write about are made of tiles, since that has become very popular
lately. Tiles can be made out of several different materials. Believe it
or not, even the material you choose will tell something different
about you. So, I am going to write about mosaics made of glass,
stainless steel and stone.
The glowing extrovert
As
you may know, glass tiles are transparent and, therefore, they may
represent your attitude towards other people. You want other people to
know you well and to like you, so you present yourself like an open book
and you do not keep any mystery of yourself. But that is not a bad
thing at all, it means that you are a communicative person, and you tend
to approach people more than they would approach you. Your interesting
stories will keep the party going and the jokes you tell are always
funny. Therefore, enjoyment and hedonism are things that keep you going.
Mosaics made out of glass tend to glow sometimes when there is too much
light in the room. That may reflect your emotions. Whenever there is
positive emotion you are positive and your sadness and your depression
are saved for dark rooms, where you are lonely and cannot glow.
The parted personality
Let’s
move on to the mosaics that are made of stainless steel. Steel itself
can give an impression that you are a strong person and you cannot be
broken easily. It also conveys that you do not fight the battle with
time but you go with the flow instead and let time do its job. As a
reward you tend to see your life as harmony and peace. If you fit
stainless steel mosaic into a room where white color is dominant - this
would mean that you are a person who likes domination. This is simply
explainable due to the fact that the white color symbolizes innocence
whereas stainless steel symbolizes something strong and supreme.
Therefore, you like when people subdue to you and when they listen to
your orders and your requests. However, if you fit stainless steel
mosaic into a room where dark colors are prevailing, that would tell a
slightly different story about you. It says that you are a person who
likes to be lonely and has little friends. But those friends of his are
very close to him and they are always there to help him. It also says
that you are kind of person who enjoys staying at home and watching a
movie instead of going to parties.
Stone upon stone upon stone upon stone
Stone
mosaics, on the other hand, are rather specific. People who prefer this
kind of decoration tend to face difficulties in their lives in two
ways. One of them is to cut right to the core of the problem and try to
solve it, and the other is to stand still and wait for the problem to
pass you by. Stone can also say that you are materialist and that you do
not believe in God or generally anything that has not been proven by
science. You like the smell and the look of money and your career is
much more important to you in your life than love, for example. Stone mosaics which are fit into a traditional living-room with a fireplace
and wooden furniture say that you are a family person and that people
related to you are on the top of your list. But more than that, stone
mosaic conveys that you are a person who enjoys nature and finds peace
in activities such as fishing, hiking or just spending some time in
nature.
To
sum up, every person in this world has its own story to tell, but all
of them want that story to have many interesting details. Those details
can be added by changing yourself or the things around you. When you
decide to change the things around you, go to your house and try to
rearrange the furniture. I wholeheartedly suggest that you take one of the mosaics that I have presented to you above and try to fit it
somewhere as best as you can, thus saying an interesting fact about you –
something that no one noticed before.
