The internet defines affluence as wealth, prosperity, opulence, fortune, richness, and luxury.

All of which are worthy and desirable traits and which in and of themselves do not necessarily and automatically manifest intelligent and quality aesthetics for the design of residential interiors.

Using as much marble and as much gold and other expensive materials can easily lead to a gaudy, excessive, and badly designed result.

If your goal is to show the world your wealth by over doing and flaunting it, you are projecting your insecurity and lack of emotional and intellectual intelligence.

All materials used in the creation of residential interiors should have their design elements at their best for a complete and balanced composition of function and beauty.

Quantity does not equal quality.

The completed results should be a symphony of physical diverse elements put together into a harmonious whole.

This approach can and should be used for the design of all residential interiors and is not limited to those of affluence.

Affluent interiors should be used, enjoyed, and appreciated for their intelligential beauty and not for their price tag.

Affluence give one the opportunity to create that which is outstanding for it’s intelligent aesthetics. If such is your situation, do it!

How much do you experience the quality and intelligence of your residential environment?

Food for thought.
