After several months of indecision about how to transform her home, María Pérez, a 34-year-old graphic designer, has decided to give her space a radical makeover. Instead of undertaking a complete renovation, she chose to fill her home with color in order to disguise her old furniture.
The inspiration for this decision came after a trip to a contemporary art exhibition, where María was struck by the way artists use vibrant colors to create unique environments. “I realized that sometimes a bit of color can hide imperfections and bring life to any corner,” she said.
In the first phase of her project, María used vinyl adhesive stickers in pastel shades and bright colors to decorate the walls of her home. Additionally, she covered her worn furniture with colorful fabric covers that provide a fresh, modern look. “I wanted the space to reflect my personality, and through color, I was able to not only camouflage the old but also express my style,” she added.
Furthermore, María took the plunge to paint some decorative objects, turning them into focal points within her home. “A simple vase or picture frame can become a true work of art with a little paint,” she explained.
The results of this transformation have quickly been noticed by her friends. “When I walked through the door, I thought I had entered a different house. There’s a completely different energy,” commented Lucía, a close friend. The change has even influenced María’s mood: “Every morning I wake up with a smile when I see these colors. I feel more creative and motivated.”
María has decided to share her experience on social media, receiving numerous praises and questions about her technique. “What I want to convey is that you don’t need to spend a fortune to make significant changes at home. Sometimes, a little color is all you need to renew a space,” she concluded. Now, María is already planning her next project: a small vertical garden that will complement her new, vibrant home.
