Who doesn’t love stories with their food? Everyone does. And we all have our own favourite biryani story. Like the one where it was the only dish we ate during childhood at the age of four and nothing else mattered. Or the time when we’d secretly gorge over it in between lunch breaks. It’s the same with rooms, especially your bedroom. Bedrooms tell you about your life’s story. You wake up every day reminiscing, seeing how far you’ve come with all your memories collected. Story walls are a great way to capture these stories in your bedroom. What’s best, is that you can do this yourself. Gather photos of your family or children to trace their lives and accomplishments. Alternatively, stick pages of a book on the wall and put together your favourite stories. Walls speak much and what better way for them to celebrate you and your family than this?
