“Separate the wheat from the chaff.” Proverbs 20:26 Holy Bible

What does this quote have to do with the interior design of one’s resident?

Of all the information that comes across my desk about current residential interior designs there are multitudes of expressions as to it’s current status of what is now, what is dated, what to do, what not to do, et cetera.

Interestingly enough, these positions are many times in direct opposition to each other.

What is a layperson to do with all of this information?

How does one separate the good from the bad?

Intellectually, aesthetically, personally, realistically, and functionally analyze the results that are manifest by each position maker and evaluate accordingly.

Evaluate the qualities of the position maker for education, experience, talent, ethics, et cetera.

Are these position makers putting forth for the best interior design or are they trying to sell you something?

Who are you, where are you, and where do you want to go for the final end result of your inside living spaces?

What is the best way to get to that goal and how do these various positions relate to it?

What are the time frames, budgets, resources, codes, laws, doers, and other varying factors for your project and how do these positions fit into that picture?

Be true to your self and what fits you and your life styles and proceed accordingly including following your intuition and gut feelings.

As grand ma said “there are many ways to cook chicken” and there are many opinions.

Plot, plan, proceed, stay the course, and enjoy the journey and the results.

Food for thought.
