w1 p1 - theme

One reason that drew me to deciding on this theme is essentially because I am fond of the concept of minimalism. Something about a simple palette, earth tones, and natural elements has me drawn to it. My mind is in a more calm and relaxed state if there is not a lot going on within the page I am reading or viewing. 

I often have found myself overwhelmed in an instance where I have endless choices where it must be decided on just one option. Lately, I have leaned towards the more simple route, rather than going back and forth, changing and adjusting things to make it just right. Decision-making has been a struggle of mine for some time so teaching myself to choose minimalism has made things a lot easier on me and decisions less overwhelming.

Another reason I made this choice for my theme is my passion for plants. I have a vast collection of plants, both indoor and out, that fill my home with life. Most are tropical plants and with the amount that I have inside, they have made their own little microclimate within my room. I love how adding just one plant to a space can make such a difference, though that "one" has now turned into dozens in my case. 

The color of most of the text is similar to the color of terra cotta. Almost every plant I have is potted in terra cotta pots so I found it a fitting color to pair with the plant image. The background is white which is honestly one of my favorite colors simply because of how neutral and light it is. White goes with every color and you cannot go wrong with it as opposed to black which can sometimes make writing become difficult to read on top of such a dark background. 

Now that I'm thinking about it, this theme is almost identical to the theme of my home.

White walls, white background. Terra cotta pots, terra cotta colored text. Plants.
