What does your home communicate to others about you?? answers and reccomendations please:)?

Question

I am doing a project on non-verbal communicaton and have to explain how our homes and the personal items in them communicate to other people who we are. What does your home say to others and do you know where I can get any information on this?

Answer 1

That my closet is not big enough for all of my clothes...my sweeper hasn't been used for quite some time...I'd rather hang pictures of real people rather than hang pictures bought in a store...

Answer 2

Home 1: If your home is neat and organized, you're a person who is put together well and caring.

Home 2:  If your home is disorderly and disgusting you are a unthoughtful, lazy person.

Home 1: my home

Home 2: my mother in law's house.

Answer 3

Did you know that your home speaks? Well it does, and it speaks volumes, about you. Your personality, attitudes, opinions and dreams are manifested in the way you decorate your home. Consequently, the sum total of who you are is broadcast to all who walk through your door.

However, your home can also tell lies about you. Let us say for instance, you are most at-home and at your best and true self in a space that reeks of a very casual and homey style. Yet your home says to visitors that they must take off their shoes at the front door, walk carefully, sit up straight, see, but don’t touch.

Likewise, a disorganized and cluttered home could be giving the wrong impression about you, as a woman who is very methodical, controlled and thrives best in a clean, structured and well-ordered environment.

If your home is sending the wrong messages about you, it is time to set the record straight so that it reflects your personality, your lifestyle and even your dreams.

Your home should never speak of the lifestyles of other people, nor should it shout the latest design trends just so that you can be the envy of your friends. It should radiate with the kind of mood you’re most comfortable with and the possessions that make you smile. When visitors come to your home, they should be greeted with the essence of the person or persons who live within its walls.

Never one to follow the crowd, my home shouts that loud and clear. I can appreciate all the new and trendy design ideas I see on HGTV, in magazines and at the mall, but my heart belongs to a country/cottage style.

Nothing makes my heart sing like the look of a country cottage complete with wood, wrought iron, rattan, beautiful natural fabrics and lots of baskets.

My growing collection of teapots is evident as they sit on top of my kitchen cabinets. My fascination with aprons amuses my friends. They hang from picture hooks attached to a door. Baskets, another staple, serve decorative and functional purposes in every room.

My favorite colors, green, terracotta, mustard, orange, red and rust, punctuate rather than dominate my home’s decor. My home is certainly not dressed to impress, but to provide a soothing, tranquil and relaxed atmosphere for my lifestyle, to encourage quiet time, reflection, and intimate conversation, and to inspire creativity.

What about your home? Does it reflect your own personal tastes and showcases what is most important to you? Does your home’s design and decor cater to and portray all that you are, love, have and dream?

Despite what trends are driving other homeowners, design and decorate your home with freedom and passion. Outfit it with the furnishings you like and that accommodate your lifestyle needs. Fill it with the treasures you love, and infuse the atmosphere that nurtures your soul and soothes your senses at the end of the day, after the world is done with you.

Whatever your home says about you, make sure it speaks the unbridled truth.  Written by Cheryl Wright

Answer 4

I guess mine says that I am a falling apart, lazy, thoughtless and uncaring person.

Answer 5

My Home says "Kids Welcome". There are toys and stuffed animals and games pretty much everywhere! I want my kids and their friends to feel comfortable here and know they are safe and secure all the time. Nothing in my house that the kids cant touch. My Mom always had to have everything perfect and it was "Dont touch that, or if you break that, and your messing things up!" Not here, It's clean and airy and a place a kid can be happy!!
