Why are we doing this?

Above and beyond the physical, legal, safety, convenient, functional, climate, financial, et cetera parts of a residential interior design what is the why, especially for aesthetics, behind the non-physical choices made that are going to make it personally successful for the people who live there?

With personality being the sum total of unique physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual characteristics of an individual what personality trait decides why what is done is done?

What aspect of the project is going to make it personally successful?

Is it to follow a trend, what is popular, a reflection of social-economic status, what they like, make it saleable in the future, make a statement, level of quality desired, how other people may react, satisfying some inner emotional, intellectual, or psychological need or desire, et cetera?

It is often times wise when designing residential interior spaces to step back from the project and take a critical, realistic, and all aspects objective look at the project from the why it is being done before it is done for personality satisfaction when it is completed.

What is the non-physical personality why where you live?

Food for thought.
