Groundbreaking Primitive Decorating

Using these primitive decorating techniques takes a certain type of space. Having a smaller room may not be an ideal setting for many of the elements that may be used. For the most part, a smaller room may become a bit “closed in” while a little larger space offers options that may be a bit heavier from a visual point of view.

Thoughtful placement

As your space begins to take shape, the placement of objects needs to be a primary concern. In this decorating style, periods and styles of decorating elements need to be monitored. This is unless you do not mind your visitor noticing a difference of a thousand years between periods or styles.

Darker and heavier A sculpture is a good place to start for a focal point. Whether on the wall or on a stand or a table sculpture lends a sense of time and place. Choosing the correct sculpture at the outset is important as this piece may well set the tone, period and style of the space. Heavy rugs kept at strategic places could also add to the attraction. Perhaps you could place it in front of the fireplace (which could be as naturalistic as possible).

Grounded

Although elements of primitive decorating can be used on walls and above eye level they are generally associated with a grounded feeling. A darker flooring concept is usually the result with a certain strength that could support whatever rests upon it. A darker carpet could be used although a more visually natural based material like dark wood might be more appropriate.

A primitive sanctum

Depending upon the individuals’ perception of primitive decorating a space could be considered for just about any use. A men’s’ trophy room or a European library could fit the bill easily. In either instance, however, weight is the critical element to the space. There needs to be substance to any element that is placed in the space. The overall idea is that once you are in the space you are there for a while to “just be.”
