Wondering how is it possible? It is. Use of certain colours in a room, with certain kinds of furniture and certain kinds of accessories tell about the person who inhabits in the room.

Let’s see some examples of the above said-

Here’s a well furnished room which indeed looks beautiful and inviting at the first sight. The best things about this room include the subtle colour of the walls, the large windows and plants! It is evident from the room’s décor that a person living in the room is someone who likes to play it safe in life and does not experiment too much. The room’s décor is close to perfect and seems universally appealing as it does not tread towards any drama or any kind of loud decoration. The blend of sober wall colours with the freshness brought in by the plants and the windows looks peaceful and induces calmness. The person who would have a room like this one would surely be someone who values comfort along with finer aesthetics as well as the selective calmness of the nature brought home by a glimpse through the windows and placement of the trees at corners.

This room clearly has a lot of pink and a lot of coordination. The room has an absolute feminine air to it owing to the colour choice. It is easy to look at this room and be able to tell that it’s a girl’s room. The room has pink all around and definitely hints at the eccentricity of the one who inhabits here. The room is thematic in its colour coordination and décor. A décor like this would be a choice of someone who spends a lot of time in the room and is young. It is because such a décor would appeal to someone who is in awe of the colour and is ready for the overwhelming shock value that the décor in one single dominant colour might bring as one enters after a long day! A middle aged person or a working person would not like a décor which is so colour consuming and bright. Having said that, the room décor can be applauded for it’s edgy décor which includes shades of pink and well-cut furnishing!

This room seemingly looks like it is decorated by a man and is inhabited by the same. The room is beautiful is dramatic and masculine. The animal skin bed cover and the unique design behind the bed are exquisite and sharp. The room belongs to a person who does not fear going bold and sharp in his choices. Not everyone would like to live in such a room as the room has a definite character and an air that is bold and excitingly dramatic. Right from the bed cover to the wall art to the metallic table with coffee maker to the solitary piece of art resting inside the wall next to the bed are some of the factors that speak volumes about the fearless and confident nature of the person inhabiting in here. The chest and the plant in the room add to the comfort and practical aspect of the personality of the room and the owner of the room!

The picture is of a room that’s extremely fancy and is very elaborate. Though the room looks nice, the décor of the room is extremely expensive and lavish. It is evident from the décor of this room that the owner of this room is someone who prefers to be flamboyant and lavish in his/her choice. The room has vintage furnishing and is complicated in tastes. It does present a picture looking at the room done up this way but it is a décor that demands time for its maintenance. The person living in this room is a definite vintage art lover and a carving fan. The elaborate bed, the curvy flooring style, the artistic lamps, the huge fashioned mirrors in the room speak in favour of the person’s artistic and expressive side of the personality.

This room is simply marvelous. It is a room that’s not only classy but is contemporary. The person to be using this room would definitely be someone who has a fine understanding of colours, their effect on oneself and their impact when put together in one space. The room has an air of practicality, confidence and sobriety along with class which infact must be true of the taste and personality of the person living in it. The dark wood furniture (comfortable bed stand, tables, chest with drawers for storage, mirror) looks fabulous against the sober, neutral and calm walls. Ample lighting, a spare seating aside that too in neutral colour with a red throw, the carpet on the floor, the plant peeping from the corner and the bright curtains make it an exquisite and very tastefully done space. The person inhabiting this space is definitely someone who is tasteful, peaceful, confident who knows the balance between aesthetics and comfort.
