“Interior design is not an Easter Basket to be filled with the more objects the better.”

Yet, many examples which are put forth as some of the world’s best continue to do such.

Many describe how unique, expensive, designer name, rarity, and blah, blah, blah are these objects.

Residential interior spaces includes all the walls, ceiling, floors, and all of their components into the composition.

Every thing seen in a space has it’s own design characteristics and should be evaluated as to how such contributes to the whole composition.

And interior design is a composition.

What is the ultimate goal of your residential interior design?

Is it to make the spaces as beautiful, functional, and reflecting the personalities of the residents as is possible?

Or is it to show the world your collection of objects therein?

Some of these object filled spaces look more like commercial show rooms instead of spaces where people live.

The most successfully designed, and most beautiful, residential interiors are those in which every thing seen in the spaces contributes to the final overall aesthetic composition of the spaces.

There are many aspects which determine the final results manifest for residential interior design spaces.

How many, and what, determined the results of the spaces in which you live?

Do you have aesthetically pleasing whole compositions or an Easter Basket of objects?

Food for thought.
