Functional and personality reflective, two of the three qualities of a well designed living space, are very evident in many of the current world wide residential interiors that come across my desk.

There is the third important aspect that, to me, is missing.

I keep asking my self when looking at these living spaces: Are they beautiful?

While we all have our personal preferences (tastes) the biggest trait we use in selecting what we eat is to what degree does it taste good?

And yet we don’t apply that same qualifying principle to the aesthetic qualities of the spaces we occupy.

Why?

If we are to manifest life in an upward movement toward a higher level of civilization in our day-to-day living as the most intelligent existences on this planet is it not of merit to pursue such a beneficial aspect of our existence?

There have also most always been, when there are groups of people, those citizens who lead, who follow, who get in the way, and those who go backward.

Into which group do you belong when reflecting the aesthetics of the spaces in which you live and move and have your being?

Food for thought.
