Hobby - Second Part



In the last post I was discussing about hobbies. Other than collections, hobbies, vary in types. Art, games, travel, pet care, gardening, walking are some hobbies which vary in concept. These hobbies also contribute in their own way to decorate your home. Walking is that hobby which helps to improve our health. While on a walk in your locality, if you come across some peculiar plant you may bring and nurture it in your garden. Even you can capture image of colourful Vinayaka idols in different postures, during Vinayaka Chavithi, in your neighbourhood with your camera and decorate it on your blank wall.





When taken art, we have rangoli which our ancestors have given as a traditional treasure. A rangoli infront of the door looks inviting, gives feast to our eyes. Even painting the front doorstep with red dots on a yellow background is also one traditional art thats part of our culture. Decorating the front door with mango leaves or a chain of door hangings is one such art we inherited from our ancestors. Just for front door we have many decorating tips that we subconsciously do. Consider travel, when we go seeing places, it is a welcoming hobby to bring home miniatures of monuments, eminent persons, symbols, etc. They help in memorising our travel and also bring life to our lifeless cupboards.


Tidying up and organising one's home is also such a hobby that's given priority in decorating the interiors. Organise photos in your albums if you have volumes scattered in your desks or shelves. Sort CDs and books and place them in respective places. Remove any unwanted, broken, torn articles and throw them into trash or donate to non-profit organisations. Once you have a clean home you will feel the difference.

HOBBY!!!


HOBBY!!! Everyone of us have one hobby or more. We cultivate it to spend our leisure time effectively. They relieve us from stress, give pleasure and sometimes can be an investment as in the case of coin collection.


Hobby also plays a role in decorating our homes. Collecting stamps, coins, matchboxes, hats are some common hobbies we all know. If these are displayed in respective display vouchers, shelves in cupboards they bring in an attractive look for your room and also helps in reflecting your personal tastes. These hobbies can even be extended to collecting perfume bottles, cigar pipes, seashells, masks, newspapers, books, table lamps, flowervases, antiques so on and so forth. It has limit where your imagination ends.

The collections need not be displayed at a particular place, they can be placed at different corners of the room taking into account texture, size, shape, colour of the object and the function of the room, lighting, other accessories in the room. For example seashells can be displaced by placing them in a coloured glass bowl in a bedroom, if a shell is bigger in size it can be used as a paper weight for the newspaper on the centre table in your living room or a collection can be used in the aquarium with a set of pebbles. They can even be used to decorate candle lit areas and also infront of photos in frames.




Here are some websites which may be useful for those who want to cultivate a hobby and also for those who are experts in a particular one.





Let us enjoy cultivating a hobby and get satisfied watching our collection(s). More on hobbies in my next post. Don't forget to leave a feedback. Thank you.
