Daily Life Seen from the Interior Vol.13

This is the 13th installment of Hiroki Sueyoshi's blog series from FAH Inc.

In Christianity, the number 13 is considered unlucky, but I don't mind it at all.

This blog is planned to have a total of 20 posts, but before I knew it, there were only 7 posts left.
If you think about it, it's lucky 7.

In short, whether something is lucky or unlucky depends on how you look at it.
Whether you make use of your various experiences or let them go to waste depends on your attitude.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

2020 was a year of many changes.
Not just in 2020, but in the coming age, "change" will become the norm.
My goal is to become a surfer who can enjoy and ride the changing waves.
So, let's get to the main topic.

"About the relationship between home and interior"

I often liken the relationship between a house and its interior to that of people and clothes.
If the house (or people) itself is wonderful, I try not to do too much extra.
On the other hand, if there are parts of a house (or person) that I cannot fully express, I try to make up for them with the interior design.
At the same time, he often says, "Architects are gods."
This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's the truth.
Just as God creates people, architects create houses (buildings). (This is just a nuanced expression.) However, God does not create all people perfectly.
On the contrary, I think that's what makes it interesting and gives rise to individuality.

This creates people who don't have long legs or small faces like me.
I think one of the things that can cover that is "clothing."
I think it's the same with architecture. Imagine this: A. A man with a good figure and good looks, but his clothes are ugly. B. His figure and face are average, but he's fashionable.
Which one is better?
Personally, I would choose B. Maybe it's because I'm not a good-looking guy with a good figure like A, so I'm choosing B, which I can at least improve with some effort.

One more thing. (This one is a bonus) A. The clothes are stylish, but the house is mediocre. B. The clothes are mediocre, but the house is stylish.
This might be a similar question.
The point is, people with nice interiors look nice.

But back to the story...
That's how important I think interior design is in a home. No matter how wonderful a home you build, the interior design can ruin it.
Sometimes you see architectural photos that don't include furniture.
As a piece of architecture, I think it's fine, but it often doesn't feel like a "home," and I think the "interior" is essential to complete a house. A house has a soul because of the interior.

I often attend furniture delivery, and when interior design (furniture, etc.) is added to a simple space, it becomes a "home." I believe that interior design is just as important an element in creating a home as the house itself.
I mainly deal with furniture for interior design. Of course, small items are also included in the total coordination, so I also deal with them.
However, this is often just a model home. In the case of a private residence, I believe that it becomes that person's "home" as they add various accessories and greenery.

When it comes to clothing, isn't the final individuality determined by accessories and such? It's similar to that.
I believe that if you have the basic elements of a person's style (furniture) in place, they can freely enjoy the rest of the accessories. Interior design is often said to be difficult, but I believe that since many Japanese people are stylish, they should be able to enjoy interior design in the same way.

Homes and interiors. People and clothes. Don't you think they're similar?
