Aesthetic design is the creation, thinking, imagination, planning, and putting together of various elements and components to achieve a desired end result of beauty which is whole and complete and which is more than the sum of the individual parts.

For aesthetics, the elements are line, form, mass, color, and texture which are descriptive of all physical objects. Each of these elements has it’s own characteristics and reactions when used with the other elements. The results are determined by the laws of physics.

The most aware element is light followed by proportions.

How we perceive and react to aesthetics is determined by every aspect of our mind, body, emotions, DNA, experience, and anything else that makes up our existence. Emotion probably plays the biggest role for most people.

Over the course of the evolution of humankind, certain traits, characteristics, standards, and methods of what is beautiful have developed and formed and are most often found in classical art. We continue to explore and seek new levels of aesthetics. New discoveries, products, and inventions add to the potential of what can be done.

For residential interior design, this means that all of the above is applied to the walls, floors, ceilings, furnishings, and every other aspect of the space to achieve aesthetic results.
