There’s something in the air that must be influencing you to ask yourself big questions about the nature of things, such as what happens to an Indie Child when they get kind of old and have already been living as an adult for a while? Well, I’ve been thinking about it a bit and researching the topic a bit and I’ve concluded that the natural path is becoming a Hipster and building a house. Built on big land, their children can be cultivated in the best possible way. It is then appropriate for them to start cooking hearty, rustic meals. (Living near the water is also very desirable.) You will doubtlessly have seen many pictures of these planned homes in magazines and online at places such as Unhappy Hipsters. There is therefore no need for me to describe them.
I’m not trying to rain down on their creative sparks or anything like that, but I can’t help noticing that seeing as Hipsters seriously dig the Nordic style, isn’t their style quite “off the shelf”? Hipsters probably love things to be crafted for them by craftspeople/furniture makers. So my question is whether it is they themselves who design their chair to an interesting geometric shape, or do they buy pieces from designers who specialise in interesting shaped furniture?
And you have noticed their passion for storage space, have you not? Utilising nifty storage space is an example of Hipster minimalist values, as they’re keeping the clutter out of their lives. Though they are not actually having few possessions.
Hipster homes are a living art-space. Creative people live in them and do creative things. Hipster furniture tends to be large and minimalist. So balancing big and small is important and composition is an art form. An example is leaving storage shelves of the open variety empty, with the exception of a small object. And having a tastefully artistic home breeds further creativity in all ways.
When I set out to write this blog post, I thought I knew what I was going to write about, that I had a clear point, actually, perhaps just a point. Now I’m just plain confused and feel that all I have grasped is that if you are in the situation of thinking for some reason that you fit into the Hipster category but aren’t confident letting your own innovativeness create your home, you can read the catalogues and visit the store of Swedish furniture company IKEA (which I’m thinking you probably already like.) In the scheme of things, it’s probably best to let others judge you and your taste by the brands you buy. DIY meets design. Hahahaha.
