Several rules by certain interior designers and books on the subject have come across my desk recently and also have come from many other people in different walks of life during my life experiences on this planet.

Rules of interior design are usually made by those people and for those people who are ignorant of the subject.

What some people put forward as rules are only their own personal approach to a design situation.

These positions have come up all the way from the construction of buildings to needle point colors.

Grand Ma said there are many ways to cook chicken.

IF you know what you are doing when it comes to the aesthetics of designing there are no valid rules: only principles of aesthetics and laws of physics.

What results do you want to achieve, where do you want to go, and what is the best way to get there aesthetically should pilot your expenditure of resources and not what other people see as their interpretation.

Yet, some people cling religiously and intellectually to their position as cut in stone for evaluating designs.

Life is made up of people from all different backgrounds, educations, social-economic levels, intellects, and experiences which determine and reflect our personality traits.

All wholes are made of different parts at some level but are complete.

Where do you stand in your approach to aesthetics?

Food for thought.
