It has been said that a salad without a dressing is just a bowl of wet vegetables.

It is the dressing that brings every thing together into a delicious whole.

The same can be said and the same principle can be applied to the designs of one’s

residential interior spaces.

Adding silver candle holders does not in and of itself make the setting formal.

Having large spaces by themselves do not thusly make a grand design.

Furnishings that are rare, expensive, imported, best quality, labor intensive, et cetera are not necessarily good elements in a design composition.

Using antiques, important art works, and styles of furnishings from past periods of design do not automatically produce high quality aesthetics spaces.

The latest trends, what’s popular, what “they” are doing, what’s traditional, and what’s highest status alone does not make it a plus factor in aesthetics.

Who did it, who owns it, where it is located, who uses it, who built it, materials used, et cetera as a factor by itself does not necessarily increase or enhance the level of aesthetics.

Who lived there, who did what there, what events took place there, et cetera do not affect the level of aesthetics.

Most people, for most of the time, choose and eat food that taste good.

Use the laws of physics and the principles of design as the dressing that makes the salad of your residential interior spaces into a delicious whole of high level aesthetics.

With that same level and kind of logic, is it not of merit to apply such to the aesthetic level of your residential interior spaces and furnishings where you spend your personal time?

Food for thought.
