I don’t like it.
How many times have you heard someone make that comment?
What are they saying and why are they saying it?
When about residential interior designs, or something else of quality or preference, it could mean that they do not find such congruent with their personal aesthetic preferences or that it does not measure up to their standards of what is good aesthetic design.
There is a difference between the two although both may be combined into the same statement.
Is the comment making person involved in the manifestation of the design or do they have some need to express themselves?
If one is not personally a part of, or responsible for, a residential aesthetic manifestation what is the merit of their expressing an opinion?
And sometimes making such a comment is an expression of ignorance.
Analyze and evaluate such comments when they apply to, or are made by you in, your personal situations.
Could not said principle be applied to other situations encountered in life which refer to quality and personal preferences?
What goes through your mind when you hear or make this comment?
Food for thought.
