After all, it is a protracted battle about details.
I am satisfied with the overall effect of my hard installation. The wall is flat, the light is warm, and the size of the furniture is just right. But every time I walk into the restaurant, my eyes will always be stumbled by the refrigerator – a whole white metal door panel, barely pestled there, like a painting deliberately leaving an untimely white, no matter how you look at it, you feel less lively.
I have thought of many ways. I bought the ornaments several times. The first two weeks were fresh, and the third week began to accumulate dust. I also thought about the soft decoration, but when I thought of re-tossing the wall, changing the curtains, and adjusting the lights, half of the energy was released. All I want is just the right decoration, and I don’t want to work again for this matter.
Later, several inconspicuous 2D PVC refrigerator stickers solved this problem.
It’s not decoration, it’s “filling in the blanks”
The thick three-dimensional refrigerator stickers on the market, animal-shaped and fruit-shaped, are too lively after two or three stickers. The whole refrigerator is like a stall of a grocery store, and the visual center of gravity is taken away by them. The 2D model I chose is exactly another way – restraint.
It is extremely thin, and it is tightly attached to the refrigerator, and you can hardly feel the thickness. The picture is clean and neat, without a trace of unnecessary burden. Whether your home is cold and minimalist, warm log, or the most ordinary hardcover delivery, it can quietly blend into it. It’s not the kind of product that makes people amazed at a glance, but the more you look at it, the more pleasing it is.
This makes me understand one thing: high-end decoration is to let the space remember the atmosphere, not the eyes to remember the object.
Flat aesthetics, more friendly to small households
In the past, I didn’t dare to buy small home decorations. I was most afraid of style fights. Especially three-dimensional ornaments, for small households, every more heavy object, the sense of oppression will increase by one point. 2D refrigerator sticker is smart. It uses “flat aesthetics” – it does not take up space, only occupies the line of sight.
I have three stickers on the refrigerator now: a Morandi gray-blue geometric square, a simple English character with “EAT” written on it, and a coffee cup outlined with lines. The three staggered stickers look like a specially customized decorative painting from a distance, and the color and texture can suppress the scene. My friend came to visit and asked me where I bought it. I said it would be done for dozens of yuan, but she didn’t believe it.
The pattern itself can withstand the consideration. Simple English words, elegant solid color geometry, fresh plant illustrations, or minimalist landmarks of a certain city, just choose a few to match, and it is not easy to overturn. What it gives you is not the indulgence of “no matter how you match it”, but the peace of mind of “no matter how you match it”.
It is not only good-looking, but also can “stand things”
The refrigerator door panel is empty, and I have always felt that it was a waste of resources. The shopping list of the supermarket, the schedule of the child’s interest class, and the to-do items that occasionally need to be reminded, there is no fixed place to settle down, and I often can’t find them when I put them away. Now press it gently with a refrigerator sticker, and all the trivial information is put on this natural magnetic blackboard. You can see it when you look up, and your life is suddenly organized.
Takeaway orders are no longer a problem. Stick it on the refrigerator and throw it away after eating, which is convenient and convenient. It is not just an ornament, but also a small hub on the line of life activities – gathering scattered information, making daily life less busy and more calm.
The “skin” player in the kitchen
Everyone who has been renovated knows that the kitchen is a lot of water and oil. I tried paper stickers before, and in less than two months, the edges were curled by the oil smoke, and the color was yellow. Not to mention the cloth, it is easy to mold when it is stained with water vapor, which is annoying to look at.
This 2D PVC material is much more worry-free. There is a dense layer of lamination on the surface, which is waterproof and oil-proof. If you splash some oil stars or sprinkle a little water stains, pull out a kitchen wipe and gently wipe it to restore it to its original state. What’s more important is that it is thin enough to flatten the service post, unlike the three-dimensional one that is easy to hide dirt in the gap. When cleaning, the rag can be scratched. For lazy people, this is the greatest kindness.
After using it for more than half a year, my kitchen has been exposed to the west. The direct sunlight is not short, and the color is still bright, neither yellowing nor fading. The PVC material itself is flexible and strong. Children at home occasionally rub toys against the refrigerator door, and it does not crack or curl. Compared with the delicateness of ceramic glass, it has a sense of “withstanding life”.
The printing texture breaks the stereotype of affordable price.
To be honest, I didn’t expect that a small decoration for a few yuan could achieve this texture. High-definition flat printing technology, the pattern reduction is very high, the color saturation is just right, and there is no dazzling fluorescence. The edge cut is neat and neat, there are no burrs, and the details of the picture can withstand a closer look.
It doesn’t have that cheap plastic feeling, but more like a layer of delicate skin, properly attached to the surface of the refrigerator. Every day between cooking, or when passing by to drink water, I catch a glimpse of the quiet little patterns on it, and an indescribable down-to-earthness will surge in my heart. It seems that those plain and trivial days have been ironed a little more tender because of this little embellishment.
It can also be customized and paste the memory at home.
What’s more interesting to me is that this kind of refrigerator sticker now supports personalized customization. I have a friend who printed a group of photos of his pet and posted them on the refrigerator. When the guests came, they found it interesting. I’m also thinking about making a set of several landscape photos taken on a trip to the beach last year, so that those beautiful moments can no longer lie in the mobile phone album, but become a daily life that can be seen every day.
The customization process is not complicated. Choose the size and style, send the picture to the customer service, and the designer will help adjust the typesetting. When I received the goods, I saw that the familiar picture turned into a physical object within reach, and the sense of exclusivity was indeed different. This unique little detail is the key step to turn the house into a “home”.
The skeleton and flesh and blood of life
The real sense of luxury is never exchanged for stacking expensive furniture and marble background walls. Those large items support the skeleton of life, while these small objects like 2D refrigerator stickers are filled with the flesh and blood of life.
They stayed in the corner silently, solving the daily embarrassment and smoothing out the visual monotony. You don’t need to make great civil engineering, and you don’t have to spend a lot of money. A few simple stickers can unlock the life mode of the originally cold household appliances, so that every ordinary day can be exquisite and warm.
This is probably the most down-to-earth footnote of the so-called “life aesthetics”.
