Unlimited options of interior designs for residential interiors are available.

There is no one-design-fits-all.

How do you make the best decisions for your personal living spaces while being bombarded by the flood of options available?

Who are you?

What designs best express your personality?

Tune in to that design which expresses and fulfills that person.

Go with what feels right, comfortable, and “at home”?

Thereafter, using the laws of physics and the principles of aesthetics with intelligence and quality, you can manifest a residential interior design that fits you.

Remember, your personal space is for you and is not the subject of others’ opinions, positions, or standards.

How positively do the atoms in your brain react with where you live?

Most of our reactions and behaviors about food are concentrated on the taste thereof and our personal preferences.

Beauty was one of the major fundamental issues of ancient historical philosophical discussions.

When it comes to the current aesthetics of our personal surroundings, of what do we primarily think?

“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.“

What determines the eyes of the beholder?

Every experience known since the “big bang” up until the current moment determines the eyes of the beholder.

Outside of cosmetics and fashion, how much of our energy is expended on the value and importance of aesthetics in our lives?

How aware are you, objectively and subjectively, of the causation of beauty, and its advantages, in your daily existence?

What roles, if any, do education, intelligence, culture, and spirituality play in our experiences of aesthetics?

Is the pursuit, discussion, and expenditure of resources exclusively for beauty in our personal daily surroundings of as much merit as what we eat?

Of what importance, or non-importance, are these questions to you personally?

Food for thought?

What does it mean when residential interior spaces are designed?

It means that intelligent and creative efforts are used in all planning, constructing, and furnishing stages, using the laws of physics and the principles of aesthetics, to originate living spaces that are functional for their to be used purposes, that express the ambiance and personality traits it is to represent, and that thought and creativity are employed to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing results possible.

It does not necessarily mean that it is the most popular trend of now, that it is the newest current style, that it is of the highest status, that it should be copied, or that everyone is going to like it.

It’s not one size fits all.

It is authentic and true to itself.

It is to be used, enjoyed, and appreciated.

Responsible efforts produce corresponding results.

What goes through your mind about where you live when you are not there?

Would you say your personal living space is a house, home, domicile, haven, or something else?

How well does where you live represent your true self as seen by the world?

What tangible and non-tangible assets have you expended on housing, and what results are expected to be received from such?

How many of your housing choices are affected by your past life, and how many are affected for your future life?

How important in your life is housing for your emotional, financial, spiritual, physical, mental, convenient, comfortable, and intellectual well-being?

What is beauty?

Can it be defined? Or merely experienced?

Is beauty, as we know it, natural or man-made? Can it be one, or the other, or a combination of both?

Is it experienced consciously? Unconsciously? Or both?

Is it physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, or something else?

Or, is it a combination of many aspects?

Is beauty in our DNA from the evolution of life, or is it culturally obtained?

Does the expenditure of resources for beauty validate the results?

What role and how much, if any, does aesthetics play in the production that is our lives on this planet?

Is the philosophical study of beauty of merit?

Beauty in your personal living environment is…?

Food for thought?

Much of what we experience in our daily lives is ordinary, standard, and works well.

We usually go with what is commercially produced for our mass consumption.

Some people knowingly go above and beyond this level to higher quality experiences in their lives.

Occasionally, physical activities excel, new knowledge is acquired, entrepreneurs become rich, people take new directions, intelligence advances, et cetera, but the majority population continues their routine existence.

What makes the difference?

Creativity, imagination, intelligence, and persistence, using the laws of physics and the principles of aesthetics are the factors that manifest such results.

Increasing awareness of existence, advancement of knowledge, utilizing the physical, et cetera, are the results of those people who choose such and thusly continuously advance civilizations.

The tangible requirements and intangible needs of our homes involve numerable factors which determine what we literally experience therein.

Do you have an urge, desire, or want to raise your personal living environment to a higher, more fulfilling, and complete aesthetic experience unknown by the masses?

Change or stay?

Ordinary, or extraordinary?

Shelter for survival from the elements for mammals evolved into manifestations of the civilizations we have become.

The level and type of housing for the general population is a factor in the advancement and level of development for civilization.

The quality, materials, design, location, aesthetics, creativity, adaptability, and intelligence of a society are reflected in its housing.

Among other factors, housing also evolved into the hierarchy of status and positions within a culture.

The necessities for survival, activities of everyday living, and climate patterns primarily determine the design and construction of houses.

A recent collaboration between two well-known magazines reflects some of the changes of houses for current times.

More people want usability and adaptability for all spaces and are eliminating those previously set aside just “for company“, status, and special occasions.

Smart house features, affecting more activities, are going into the infrastructure and are playing a larger role in work and social activities.

Buildings and materials that age well, are adaptable to climate changes, and enhance ambiance are becoming more necessary and practical.

The use of, and control of, natural and man-made, light, view, and living spaces connecting with the outside are becoming more meritorious.

The availability and affordability of houses for the general population are now, and always have been, major factors reflecting the status of a country.

In what living spaces were you, where are you, and where are you going in relation to these housing changes?

Food for thought.

“Unto thine own self be true” Shakespeare

How honestly true to yourself are you when designing, consciously or not, deliberately or not, your residential interior living environment?

Is design even a considered factor in the overall project?

Is it to be a business decision with efficiency, costs, and schedule most important?

Are comfort and function the ultimate goals with appearance irrelevant?

Do you choose to go with the crowd, choosing what is popular and what “they” are doing?

Is it important to be “with it” by following the current trends?

Are designs for current living overruled in favor of those aspects that will make it more saleable in the future?

How important is tradition, the way it’s always done, in making decisions?

Do you not express your personal quirks, or what you really like, because other people may not like or understand such?

Is it your goal to make a statement that will impress the world?

Do you go with what fits you, or what will fit everyone?

The whole is the sum of all the pieces.

The highest quality level of complete residential interior design is achieved when the functions, aesthetics, and personalities of residences are equally balanced.

We, the people on this planet, have evolved to where we are from billions of years of advancement, growth, change, et cetera, and are now living in this physical space realm.

There is a desire, need, and want for physical beauty experienced through our senses and affected by our level of intellectual development.

This aspect of our behavior has manifested in the fine arts, architecture, clothing, furnishings, objects, and other expressions through many different cultures throughout the history of civilizations.

A major expression of this aesthetic desire has been, and still is, personal living spaces.

Discoveries, inventions, events, weather environments, experiences, and intellectual developments are ever-present continuing factors that play roles in the resulting structures of where, and how, people live.

Contemporary culture is increasingly advancing toward more computers, electronics, artificial intelligence, and faster, less human, and more efficient methods affecting our day-to-day and long-term living experiences.

These changes are apparent in the behavior of people with themselves and with other people.

What is your reality?

Are you fully living as a complete human being, with all of your human traits, physical senses, and active communication with the human race, on this planet, or more as a participant in non-human and artificial intelligent designed lifestyle activities?

What does the interior design of your personal living environment express about you and your reality?

Food for thought.

Interior design encompasses all interior spaces.

All interior spaces will have what we call a floor, ceiling, and walls.

The space in a room is a whole space.

Yet, in most residential interior design situations, the largest design expenditures are on furnishings and especially on the furniture.

The furniture, in and of itself, is only about six per-cent of the total area of the total space.

Does making this choice manifest into the highest level of aesthetics for a space?

To achieve the best results, is it not of merit to equally design all parts of the whole rather than concentrating on the smallest part?

In reality, we have to accept the roles that finances, time, schedules, availability, practicality, et cetera play in our lives.

How much, and what part, does seeking to manifest the ideal residential interior design approach take place in the personal spaces where you more fully express your being?
