As with many other aspects of our lives, the concepts of residential interior design have advanced by light years for thought and execution.

Once the prevalent aesthetics of residential interiors was called interior decoration and was discussed and dogma from the upper levels of society, particular women of wealth and social status, and revolved much around what was called “good taste” which generally was a reflection of their thoughts and life styles.

Now, light years later, there is at Johns Hopkins University of Medicine the International Arts + Mind Lab, Center for Applied Neuroaestheics.

The physical activities of the human brain’s are being scientifically studied and researched for the knowledge , activities, and reactions to aesthetics.

These results show the positive effects to the human brain when engaging in the aesthetics arts.

These reactions to aesthetics are not just intellectual and emotional but literally cause physical changes to the brain when engaged.

And it’s not just the active physical engagement of aesthetics, such as dancing, but the mental engagements as well.

The engagement in making a work of art, painting, sculpture, etc ceteras, as well as observing aesthetic expression of such affects the physical condition of the brain.

What is the level of aesthetics observed and experienced in your personal living spaces?

Are you aware that it could literally be affecting your brain?

Food for thought.
