For much of its existence, the aesthetics of residential interior design were primarily used as status and as exemplary for cultural refinement and taste.
For life as it exist on this planet today, such is not the case.
Cell phones, computers, electronic devices, climate changes, awareness of our environments, more understanding of the sciences of life, and many other factors have determined what are, or should be, more desirable goals of professional residential interior designing.
What is considered, or should be, is not just the beauty of our indoor living spaces, but the environments and activities of those people who will be in them.
What direction does it face in relation to the sun? What is the long-term pattern of the weather in the part of the world where it is to be built? How does such affect the natural and man-made lighting at all times for activities in these spaces during all hours and seasons?
What are the personality traits, lifestyles, and likes and dislikes of the people occupying these spaces?
What factors are to be considered for the comfortable and healthy control of heating, cooling, and humidity of this interior space?
What currently available physical materials and building techniques are best for this project?
What are the initial financial expenditures for the building and maintenance, upkeep, et cetera for the thereafter lifetime?
What are the emotional, intellectual, and psychological traits of these spaces and the affects of such on their users?
How does the geological and cultural placement of this structure fit into the jigsaw puzzle that is this world?
How does the chemical composition of natural and man made objects affect the physical health of its users?
How does this undertaking design affect global warming and the improvement and advancement of civilizations and people’s lives?
Smart homes are not some bugbear that is going to take control of our lives, but are a current, and growing, method of making the operations of our homes more efficient, more comfortable, more economic, healthier, and time-saving.
Smart houses also make where one lives a more beautiful life.
Food for thought.
