Irony and Interior Design.

On this day in 1953, Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel "Farenheit 451" was published. If you take a thin piece of paper and attempt to burn it, it will start to smoulder and then flame at 451 degrees. Ironically, this novel is on a hit list of books that have currently been banned in some places. Another aspect of irony is that, when books are banned, it usually "ignites" peoples interest in reading something that they perhaps never would have read prior to being told that they couldn't. (irony...a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.) Now, let's play irony in Interior design. Many think that if you have a big space you need to cover every square inch. Or in the reverse, a smaller space needs few items. But it's really fine to design a large space in a sparse manner, and crowd a smaller footprint to create a coze sense of excitement. Isn't that ironic? How about keeping the dusty rose velvet sofa that Aunt Twila left you? Then have us make you some hot pink toss pillows and a hot pink throw to create a sense of color irony on a piece that virtually everyone would either slipcover, or use tan on. You get the idea. So, in short, stop in with measurements, Pinterest images or your own ideas and let's make irony a reality. Jim Clarey JPClarey@Bassettfurniture.com 610-337-1249
