Which one describes YOUR interior? (Part II)

The flow of a space and the intent of the room are as fundamental to the interior as the foundation and roof are to the building. I learned this while attending Florida State University, School of Visual Arts (Interior Design). It wasn’t until I actually started practicing Interior Design that I understood why most of my classes were problem-solving, conceptual design and space-planning. (Kudos to FSU!!)

When baking cupcakes, the icing and sprinkles are the decorations – like the finishes, fabrics and accessories are to an interior. If the cupcake does not have the proper ingredients, it will taste bad and no one will want to eat it – no matter how good the icing and sprinkles look. How many of us are upset when the delicious looking cupcakes taste terrible?

Same concept for an interior –order and function bring a psychological balance to our lives. Everyone wants their home to reflect their personality and lifestyle, while providing a safe-haven from the chaos of our world. And, when our house has balance and is well-designed – it gives us an energy boost and the psychological calmness we all strive for.

Cupcakes anyone?
