Enrich your life.
Not only do we need comfort in our lives but we also need perspective. Our homes should satisfy both those needs. Your surroundings have such a delicate yet profound impact on your emotional well being, your sense of self, and your relationships, yet much of the time we are oblivious to our context and to the effect that it has. Good design should not only allow us to flow seamlessly throughout our daily lives without being distracted and confused by the subconsciously displeasing results of poor design, it should also remind us of what is significant to us and be able to inspire us to occasionally look up from our usual routine, calling attention to who we are and where we are.
