Daily Life Seen from the Interior Vol.18

FAH Co., Ltd. Hiroki Sueyoshi's serial blog 18

18th time.

During the coronavirus pandemic, I started to think more about how I use my time.

Since having a child, the time that I had felt was limitless has become

At this age, I feel like I've come to understand a little bit that life is finite.

Work, personal life, sleep.

I try to keep my body and mind in good shape by putting together time like a puzzle.

It's quite difficult.

Let's give it a try.

This is what it looks like now.

I miss the days when I could watch movies freely.

But on the other hand, I'm happy watching movies now.

Lately I've been finding it interesting that when I use my time well, I feel like my life becomes more fulfilling.

Also, this is the last column I'll be writing.

From next time, I would like to write about what I thought about and how I created it, based on real examples.

Now, on to the main topic...

"What you see every day."

When I woke up this morning, I suddenly thought, "What do I see when I wake up?"

The first thing I saw was a cell phone.

Next is the wall clock.

Dining table

chair

tv set

refrigerator

washbasin

This is roughly what I felt like 5 minutes after waking up.

As I looked at each one carefully, I had a thought.

All of these are my favorite things!

I was happy when I realized this.

I was reminded once again of how interesting the relationship between people and things is.

This is an emotion that I think is not found in animals other than humans.

(I'd be interested if animals also have the ability to feel excited about objects.)

I went to work thinking that the things we live with may have something to do with the meaning of life.

Of course, I own things that I don't mind, but I still want to be satisfied with the things I own.

I don't think this is about whether expensive things are better, but whether you are satisfied with them.

Returning to the topic of my job, there's something I've been thinking about lately.

Many people are not satisfied with the interior and furniture of their homes.

Or they say, "I don't know."

Furniture is a major element in interior design, so it's not something you buy repeatedly, and you don't buy it until you're an independent adult to a certain extent.

I think a lot of people probably have no experience buying furniture.

Most of the things I saw in the first five minutes of waking up this morning were things I had bought myself.

It goes without saying, but I don't want you to feel like you've failed every morning.

Being nice and cool is very important, but I want them to not fail first. That's what I've been thinking lately.

Recently, I think that preventing failure is a very important job.

If a customer likes a certain product, but there are any points that could lead to failure based on past experience, I try to ask, "Are you not concerned about this?"

If they had agreed with me, they would have bought the product without any problems, but there have been times when they didn't buy it...

In short, I try to make people think, "If I choose furniture from this person, I won't have to worry."

We want our customers to rely on us as much as possible to help them choose their furniture.

To help them do this, I use my experience and knowledge to consider the inside of my customers' homes from every angle.

I think I probably think more about furniture than the customers.

I don't often create spaces that I like.

This is because it is the customers who see the items (furniture and miscellaneous goods) every day.

How can we realize the vision of every customer?

So I look at a lot of rooms that I'm not that interested in.

As a result, I began to find any interior design appealing.

Leave the unnecessary worries to the professionals and simply enjoy choosing your items while having fun.

Because interior design is something you see every day.
