The relevance of “good taste” for today’s living is subject matter for international trade publications recently.

The quality of the design, and not it’s social-economic status or some assigned taste, is my profession and authority. I design intelligent and quality aesthetic residential interiors.

Taste, as related here, refers to an individual’s personal choices as to what one likes.

Aesthetic standards have evolved over the history of civilization and have originated and been proclaimed by the upper classes.

I think it was at the beginning of the twentieth century that a woman took it upon herself to set standards for the decoration of residential interior living spaces and what was “good taste” according to her place in the scheme of life.

Those positions became ingrained in our society as the gold standard for the subject.

And grew into social snobbery and status relevancy.

With the changes that have and will continue to take place in our society what relevance do the residential furnishings and colors of upper class persons in the early nineteenth century have to this time in which we live?

Not every one wants to live like the classified standards ways of these people.

To pontificate what is “good taste” selection choices of colors and furnishings for one’s interior living spaces, which are to reflect our personality and not theirs, in the epitome of arrogance and snobbery and is as relevant to us today as are buggy whips

Colors, residential furnishings, et cetera should reflect the times and personality of occupants and not some upper class pontifical manifestation.

Design in all of it’s expressions, in and of itself, does not denote taste or status.

Such is projected onto it.

Food for thought.
