Of the many printed media examples of outstanding residential interior design pictures from different countries in western civilization that have come across my desk recently many have the background, walls, floors, and ceilings with their various architectural features, in the same paint color with a variety of furnishing pieces there in as the finished result.

It’s as if the space were an Easter basket filled with the most outstanding pieces being the best final goal result.

For the highest level of the aesthetic result, it is necessary to take into consideration equally all parts of the whole make up of the entire room.

Walls, floors, and ceilings, with their composition, are the major role of a room with the furnishings playing a minor role and each of all of the elements of the space therein adding to the desired end result composition.

It’s much like cooking in which each ingredient, regardless of quantity, determines the final resulting taste.

In these photographs, as in any efforts, what is the purpose and desired end result thereof should be the determining guide as to what is put into the efforts thereof.

In other works, if it doesn’t add to the desired end result, don’t put it in.

In and of themselves, the history, status, cost, and other intangibles, play no part in the physical results.

What role do each of these parts play in your residential interior environment?

Food for thought.
