Mural dos Decoradores – Divine’Angel

Do you remember your first day when you fall in love in decorating? Can you tell us short story about that?
I’ve always looked at my house as at a special place in the game reserved just for me. A place where I could express myself in many ways. I always strived to achieve the effect that would cause the passersby stop or go back just to analyse the complexity of the decoration they have never seen before. Therefore, when I finally got my beloved and absolutely favorite house in the game in 2014, the Lucky Lane 1, I fell in love. I finally had a big place in the very center of Venore that a lot of people would see. I remember spending hours and days on decorating it and I fell in love even more after hearing the first reactions and compliments on my house. It was the people who showed me how amazing it feels to be appreciated for the hours spent on trying things over and over again and finally achieving the effect you have been aiming for.
What is the most important thing in decorating for you?
I think what’s important for me has been changing throughout the last 6 years. First, it was the uniqueness of the decoration. I would use a lot of leaves and bushes back in 2014 because they would make that “what is that?!” effect that would shock people. But then I noticed more and more people started following this style and it was not unique anymore so I had to add up to that. Then, the most important thing for me was the rare items and sparkles. I wanted my house to look fancy, rich, and have this kind of magic/dreamy vibe. Today there are a lot of decorators and it is truly difficult to make something that stands out. It is still important for me to continue striving to be original and refusing to follow the trends. I still want my decoration to be unique but I have to say it is very difficult these days. Overall, I suppose the “fancy uniqueness” would be the right response to this question.

What are the most beautiful houses you have ever made or which one did you like the most?
Forever in my heart, the house I have had for 6 years – the Lucky Lane 1 but also the big mansion in Ankrahmun, the Low Waters Observatory which was my biggest challenge since the house counts almost 500 square meters. It took me a month to finish the decoration and I sometimes miss that house. I wish it was closer to the town because no one ever goes there and it is way too hidden. Fortunately, we have the Instagrams to show off!
What is your favorite decorating item?
My favorite decorating item is… a zaoan chess pawn! I know. It’s just a black, small pawn but it makes such a huge difference in the decoration. If you have quite a few zaoan chess pawns you can surely make whole outstanding decorations out of them! They are tiny and dark which makes them hardly visible but once you put the items on them, they raise the section up and create layers. This makes decoration look tighter and much more complex. I just love them and it is definitely an item I could not imagine my house without!
What is a “must-have” in a good decoration for you?
Uniqueness and style. One must have their own touch. Something that causes the other people to know it is your decoration the moment they see it. I understand the follow-ups and trends, especially now when the decoration has become the new era in Tibia (I think I can risk saying that!) but it is good to maintain your own style and not get lost in what’s expected! And of course, the lights that enhance the decoration color. A lot of lights.
What inspires you to create your decorations?
I think the people and their reactions. As a real-life artist, singer and dancer I love entertaining people and express myself in every piece of art I do, whether it’s a song, a dance routine or a tibia decoration. I love to cause reactions to whatever I do. What inspires me to create new things are the emotions I can make people feel while looking at my decorations – amusement, admiration, or even confusion. I don’t just want to have a cute house decor.
What is your favorite Store item?
My favorite store items are all kinds of tiles that are a good final touch for my decorations based on specific color arrangements.
What usually annoys you while decorating?
As I mentioned above, losing things happens to me habitually.
When it comes to decorate, what is the most difficulty thing for you?
It annoys me that I can’t step on certain items that look good. Or that I have to use tricks in order to put one item on another which takes a lot of time and it is easy to mess something up and then, when you want to redo it, you have to repeat the whole process. Although, I understand the Tibia logic and that it just has to be that way.
