My home is my castle
A well-known English proverb says: "My home is my castle". Really, all the ways are leading to a native house, a place where a person has an opportunity to relax, enjoy the things which he likes, communicate with the dearest and nearest, stay alone or meet friends. Many centuries ago, the houses were considered to be the only fortresses in order to hide in them, especially when a very dangerous and aggressive tribe is trying to catch a person and slave him. Of course, now the situation is much better as nobody is going to catch you and lock up. But at least a house stays a place of relaxation, so-called smooth water in a quick and furious stream of our life.
Just imagine the situation when you return home. The day is very long and tiresome. You feel a little bit tired and sleepy; your only desire is to eat and stay alone or do something for your pleasure. You open the door of your house and what do you find? Your wife is sitting on a sofa with a glass of a very expensive and, of course, very tasty wine and watching a new movie of a very famous film-maker (sure, she cannot help, but watch this movie!). The children are playing with the fire on the carpet; your dog is eating your supper from the table. All the things are messed around, and at this moment you understand that there is not any thing you could understand in all this chaos. Do you imagine such a picture at home? Now forget about it! As we are really hope that it is not something you find at home while you are back at home. Home is a place where a warm and tasty supper is waiting for you, the kids are satisfied and calm, playing with their favorite toys, and a wife who is understanding, supporting, thoughtful and caring (or a husband who is standing on his knees holding a rose in his teeth and proposing your favorite wine in a beautiful thin glass). For the most people, home is connected with harmony and coziness usually.
It means not only harmony of a relationship, calm atmosphere, but also it includes good and comfortable furniture, a favorite TV set and even a refrigerator full with food.
So, home, whatever it is, a house or an apartment, is a source of soul peace, a place for living and relaxation. It is a place where every person can hide from sorrows, grief, sadness, desperations... Perhaps, that is why it is very important not only to choose a good color for the walls, but fill it with warmth, tenderness and harmony.
