“Know thyself.” Plato

“To thy own self be true.” Shakespeare

What do the above quotes have to do with the design of one’s own interior living spaces?

Think about it.

In the marketing and media one encounters in today’s society we are constantly exposed to colors of the year, trends, what’s new, popularity, what “they” are doing, sellable, et cetera.

The economics in today’s world of business for housing, the furnishing there of, and related aspects are geared to a mass market consumption which most of the population follows.

Where are you in this situation?

What if you don’t like or want these ways? What are the options for other choices?

What is your ultimate goal in housing? Is it all to be based purely on economics?

Here is where Plato and Shakespeare come in.

Know who you are, where you are, where you want to go, and proceed in that direction.

Choose to select those options that express you and not mass consumption.

In fulfilling the one life you have to exist on this planet are you going to be your “true” self or just a number in mass consumption?

Of maybe you just don’t care.

The choice is yours.

Food for thought.
