Design is about relationships- literally and figuratively. On a literal level, all selections are made in relation to each other. Design takes into account context, as nothing within the home truly lives in isolation. Paint color is determined in relationship to lighting - the amount, color temperature, artificial versus natural, shadow placement, etc. Rugs are selected in relation to the size of the space, furniture grouping(s), traffic flow, patterns and textures present (or lack of), budget, durability needed/ lifestyle...
Most homeowners have a committed relationship with their interior as it signifies the place they truly live (and often work). We spend many hours of the day in our homes even if only to sleep. During construction and re-modeling, the home sees a relationship of moving parts with many professionals working together (carpenter, electrician, plumber, painter, fabricator and installer for counters and flooring, etc.) When we recognize the relationship of design, we will find the value it brings to not only homes, but the people that live there.
