Apartment decoration by February 23

"Decorating an apartment for Defender of the Fatherland Day" in itself sounds like a joke. Surely you have never heard anyone ever do this.
That is why we decided to write about it! Surely your chosen one will not expect that, having returned home, he will see an apartment that has changed especially for him.

In this article we will try to figure out whether it is possible to decorate the apartment in general by February 23, and if so, how.

Strategy

First, let's deal with the general concept. There are some very simple rules, following which you can certainly surprise and please your man, regardless of his attitude to the army and this holiday.

If you still do not know, carefully find out details about the tastes and hobbies of men. This is especially important if the man was not in the army.

Based on this, figure out how your man can be a protector. Well, at least theoretically. Focus on creating the image of the Defender - this is your main task.

Do not rush to do something without thinking carefully. The key to successfully decorating an apartment on February 23 is not buying cute, beautiful or seemingly suitable things, but a competent impact on the psychology of a man.

Choose such items and accessories for decoration that will cause a man to associate with himself.

Tactics

Before embarking on the decoration, it is worth considering what will be appropriate and what is not. In this regard, we conditionally distinguished two types of men, depending on their attitude to the army and military affairs.

• Militarist. The military man, who served in the army and is proud of this, is seriously passionate about the military theme, or at least plays computer games about the war (“Battlefield”, “World of Tanks”, “Call of Duty”, and the like).
• He is neutral towards the army and military affairs, is fond of science fiction / fantasy or even a chronic pacifist.

Now, based on this simple (and very approximate, we will make a reservation right away) typology, we will try to develop concepts for decorating an apartment for men of each type.

Art of War

If your man is a militarist, then at least before February 23 you are lucky. You can do almost anything. Remember: the main thing is to hit the target, and not so important than. Garlands with images of samples of military equipment, posters of the Great Patriotic War, photos of the war years, printed reports on military operations - use everything. Be sure that this will not only appeal to the man externally - he will want to carefully study all the materials. To enthrall is to win! The main thing - when decorating a room, do not close access to any object that is vital for a man, this can spoil the whole impression, the creation of which took time and money.

If a man has never served in the army, concentrate fully on the name of the holiday. Make a man forget about his Soviet-military origin.

Another war

Oddly enough, for those who have never served in the army, they can’t make out a machine even according to the instructions and are not able to distinguish a clip from a magazine, the exact same rules work. This happens because almost any man, even if he was not a brave warrior, at least once imagined himself as such. Therefore, follow the same pattern, only taking into account the hobbies of a man. For a Star Wars fan, AT-AT walking tanks or X-Wing fighters, for a medieval lover, knights and catapults, and so on.

It is likely that the male pacifist does not at all perceive February 23, that is, the day of the founding of the Red Army, as a holiday. And this is quite possible to play. Surely he will appreciate streamers with the inscriptions “Make Love Not War”, “Save me from war” or something like that and wreaths of flowers. If you are faced with the task of surprising the philatelist, post printouts of stamps with images of military equipment. If a chess player - fragments of legendary games. In short, show your imagination.

General recommendations

Defender of the Fatherland Day is a serious holiday. And you take it seriously. Do not be too lazy to sign the names of military equipment on a garland and learn them, discard the desire to buy "this cute little soldier figure" or make a dragon out of pink balloons. Inspire your man that he is strong and that only he is able to protect you - both on this day and on any other.

And, of course, do not forget about yourself. The most important stage in decorating an apartment by February 23 is work on itself. Try to appear before your man in such a way that you want to immediately protect yourself from something. Be beautiful and charmingly defenseless. And do not forget about dinner.
