Harmony at home
Harmony, in the material world, represents the structure, relationship, role and arrangement of objects around us. When we relate it to the idea of a home – harmony is the arrangement of objects, furniture, flowers and everything else that is part of the interior. It is not always symmetrical, it is not always bright or with regular shapes, but it should always bring us satisfaction. In the context of where we live, harmony gives meaning and significance to the word "home."
The current interior trends include having more space and direct access to sunlight, easy contact with nature, natural materials, floral motifs and Earth tones. Light wood is one of the leading trends due to its visual lightness and its connection with nature.
Why is harmony in and around our homes important for our internal well-being?
Let us talk about the exterior, whether it is an individual house or a building of flats. Every morning, its facade sends us on our way to work, and welcomes us back in the evening, thus shaping the mood with which we rejoin our family.
Unlike the uniformity of the buildings in Sofia, the facades of the buildings at Maxi are distinguished by their bright colors, creating a feeling of belonging.
The facades of all buildings in which the company offers apartments for rent are painted in red and yellow, and their interior walls are in warm tones of yellow and white.
Red is the color that has the greatest strength and power and is often used to bring passion, love and money. It pushes us to action and increases our vitality. Returning home to a building with a red facade, will boost our confidence, positive mood, and desire for action. If our apartment has a suitable interior as well, we will certainly feel at peace and internally balanced at home.
Yellow, on the other hand, is bright and most of us associate it with beautiful things like gold and the Sun. However, very few people manage to keep calm in a room where the main color is yellow. And the reason is that in its purest form, this color has too much energy for the biofield of human perception. It is recommended to use softer tones of the yellow range to encourage optimism, confidence and serenity.
The interior colors of some of the apartments at MAXI Club are in soft shades of yellow, establishing a sense of upbeat elegance. They are combined with furniture in natural tones, which predisposes for much needed relaxation for our eyes and senses.
White is believed to favor wealth and career development. It is one of the main interior colors of the apartments at Maxi, and especially of those in the latest buildings at the compond. The coziness and harmony created there by the combination of furniture and colors make the interior calm and welcoming.
The arrangement of the furniture is also key for the harmony – balance between aesthetics and practicality is essential. Overloading the space with furniture and countless elements in an effort to be stylish, or out of emotional connection may disrupt the free flow of energy and space to breathe freely. On the other hand, the complete lack of personal items and overly simplistic furniture may portray a more sterile, rather than cosy atmosphere. In any case, the interior design is also deeply connected to the personal style of the home’s inhabitants.
The size of the room itself dictates how far away from the walls the furniture may be placed. A common mistake is to stick the sofas tightly to the wall, which may damage the walls, while also eliminating free space to move around. Maxi Club’s light and spacious apartments allow more freedom in the positioning of the furniture and the possibility to place many personal belongings throughout the numerous practical cabinets and drawers, meanwhile maintaining an organized appearance of the home.
Houseplants are another important element fulfilling harmony and balance. Their presence is greatly appreciated by people spending the majority of their time at home, especially so throughout the intensity of the past year. Plants introduce freshness, beauty and a different focus distracting from the current dynamic and their colorful bloom is a kind reward for the care reflected on them.
The environment surrounding the home and its effect in people’s mood and overall wellbeing is significant. Rich greenery, park spaces and recreation areas are obligatory elements of any inter-block space. In this regard, Maxi has made long-term efforts to enrich the environment, so it aligns with the desired sublimity. The large lawns and numerous trees augment the charm of the compound and transform it into a true green city in the foot of the Vitosha Mountain. There are over 100 000 sq.m. available to the residents to walk through at the compound to clear their thoughts and walk the road to maintaining their physical and mental health.
It is a known fact that the green color is soothing and brings positive emotions and solitude with nature. The symbolism of the color is to understand the wisdom of the universe. It is the color of calm and balance. The secret behind the harmony at Maxi is the fact that it is the greenest in the capital and cares for its population – for the people, as much as for the countless trees.
Most important of all, is the color of understanding. The basis of Maxi is colored in the color of good relations between people and it is no coincidence that for us "the home is where the soul breathes, the mind is free and the body finds its place", and harmony is fundamental for these positive emotions.
